When Gen. Washington, ,after Icing app, in

on one occasion il seemed that no means
could he devised for the accessory safety.
Jonothan Irumbull, the cider, was then
Governor of the State of Connecticut; and
The General, placing the greatest reliance
on his ENceliency's ju lgmcnt, remarked,
ave must consult Brother Jonathan o !

the Governor WAS successful in supplying
many of the wants OF the army; and
thcnceforih, when difficulties arose and
the army was spread over the country, il

MUSIC OF EARTH

Iherc Is music, merry music, =
Ringing through the forest wiid,
Gushing free and full of sladncss,
81 lis the laughter of the child!
When the velvet moss is grcenesb
Where thc bluc-cycd violets bloom,
Where the soft spring air is laden
With wealth of rich perfume,
He is sporting in the sunshine
With his young heart full of glce,
And his merry laugh is ringing,
Ringing ever joyously!
There Is music, happy music,
Echoed soN through every grove,
Breathing gently of Affection
lis q maidca's song of love!
Blushing rose, and weeping lilly,
Lend these beauties to her power,
But with mingled tears ard bushes,
She is still the faircst flower!
She is dreaming of the absent,
OF parting kiss md smile,
And her happy song is gushing,
Gushing gladly all the while
There is music, solemn music,
Stealing through the church aislcs dim.
Sweeping high in lofty echoes
'Tis the sacred bridal hymnl
Round the altar they are gathered,
Where th9bridcgroom and the bride
Breathe taoir earnest VOWS in whispers,
Lowly lmcclttg side 10y side.
Oh, the air is pure and holy,
And along the church aislcs dim,
Softly stealing, ri h'y rolling,
Pc",S the sacred bridal hymn.
There is music, mournGl music,
Wailing Ger the turf's low bed,
Sounds Of deep, heart-rending nng.isll--
lis the rcquium for the dead!
Meath the shadow Of the cypress,
Where the dropping hyacirths weep,
IReI have laid the loved and lovely
In an early grave to sleep!
There are sighs of crushing sorrow,
Sitter tears are vainly shed,
Aour.u! voices still are wal;rg,
Wildly wailing Der the dead.

man, who had not been particularly iortu-
nate in his affairs, went to foreign coun-
try in the hope of lettering his condition,
but all his enterprises failed, and in the
end he found himself more embarrassed than
ever. In his emergency, he went to consult
an old man, who was famed in his neigh
borhood for wisdom and goodness, and laid
before him the unhappy condition in which
he found himself, and the sort of fatality
which followed his steps everywhere. After
many questions as to how he had managed
his business, and as to his personal habits,
the old man at las, asked him if he owed
nothing to his printer, and if he had al
ways paid regularly for the papers for which
he had subscribed. The ruined man reflect

Remuneration of Spiritualism.

Mr.. James +. Whitney, Editor of the n.
Y. Pathfinder, who was a leading spiritual
ist, has lately come out with a renunciation
of the doctrine Of spiritualism. He says
that he has been sat the head of the most
extensive establishment in existence for the
investigation of the phenomena, publishing
one Of the leading journals, devoted entirely
to the cause, and employing about the prem
iscs no less than eight mediums, for public
sittings, for Investigation and instructions,
and this establishment being carried on at
an expense Of over two hundred dollars q
week" And now, as result of his init
mate acquaintance with the subject, he
prOnounces the whole affair base and demon
alizing. He says:
Now, after long and constant watchful-
ness, seeing for months apd years its pro-
gress and its practical workings upon its
devotees, its believers, and its mediums, we
arc compelled to speak our honest conviction,
which is that the manifestations coming
through the Acknowledged mediums, who
are designated as RappinG, Tipping, Writ
ing, and Entnnced Mediums, have a hane-
full influence upon its believers, and create
discord and confusion that the generality
of these teachings inculcate false ideas, APP
prove Of selfish individual acts, and endorse
theories and principles which, when carried
out debasc and make man but little better
than the brute creation. These are among
the fruits of modern Spiritualism
And again he says:
Seeing, as we have, the gradual progress
1t makes with its believes, particularly its
mediums, from life of morality to that of
scnsuality and Immortality, gradually and
cautiously undermining the foundation of
good principles, we look with amazement to
the radical changes which a few months
bring about in individuals, for its tendencies
are to approve and endorse each individual
act and character, however gOod or Dad 'hosc
acts may be.
We desire to send forth our warning
voice, and if our humble position, as the
head of a public Journal, our known advoca-
cy Of Spiritualism, our experience, and the
conspicuous part we have played among its
believers, the honesty and fearlessness with
which we have defended the subject, will
weigh anything in our favor, we desire that
our opinions may be received and those who
are moving passiyely down the rushing rap
ids to destruction, should pause, ere it be
too late, and save themselves from the blast
ing influence which these manifestations are
causing.
