II may be gratifying to those Of our readers
who believe in spirituaism, to learn that their
faith is not Of such modern origin as is general
ly supposed, but was believed in and advoca-
ted by the erudite Slawkenberg, as will be seen
from the following extract from discourse by
Philip Yorick in the american Reuiew of April
l847. TWAS the doctrine of the great Slawken
berg that s'there are devils of all Degrees" and
he divided all the spiritual orders into two kinds
the wicked and he good. The negative. or
evil kind, he declared, "are divided into five
ranks, or orders, Of which the lowest occupy the
inferior Hades, OF Tartarus, and the highest fi'
to and fro over Line earth and other planets.'s
Mr. Yorick cDntnues--slss }ra ls,li1ssis sl's' 80
Now the gist Of all this is, that Slawkenberg
by happy fate, discovered q method of inter-
communication with these spiritual beings, and
came to perfect Acknowledgements their characters
businesses, and nodes of life; may, he knows
their names, and can at any moment put him
self in communication with the rascalliest devil
Of them all. Have patience with me, I say a
gain, and by the love bear you, and BY my
respect for this immortal sage, protest. VOW
and promise, as am q true Sawkenbergan,
you shall hear the whole secret; so complete,
you may be able. with bu. yery little exertion.

The TABLES TURNED.-Some time
since, on one of the North River boats,
a lady who had attracted much attention
for the masculine turn of her manners
and conversation was seated at the ta-
Bic opposite a gentleman, who in taking
some butter, in the absence of the usu-
al knife used his own, which the lady OBJ.
served, called aloud to the waiter
"Wai-ta bring another plate of but

The unfortunate weight almost sunk
under the curious gaze of all the compa-
ny, but said nothing, determined to
watch his opportunity to return, for the
cruel modification, change in her own
coin. He waited but moment, ere o
plate of dried beef was handed to the la
dy, who unceremoniously took some in
her fingers, and placed it upon her plate.
"Wai-ta ?" exclaimed the gentleman
in turn, bring another plate of beef,

A most ungallant roar from all the
company fairly turned the tables against
the lady, and she had the good sense to
acknowledge its desert, and join heartily
in the nairth it created.

eign affairs, and expressed the opinion
that his experience, wisdom and pru-
dence would keep them from falling in
to confusion, or resulting in contention
or stain upon national honor.
Mr.. Buchanan is large, muscular
man, who enjoys the most perfect health,
and is capable of enduring as much Ia
Dor as young man. During the time
was with him I heard of no SUI hject of
conversation with which he was not fa-
miliar. He was early distinguished aa
sound lawyer. Ten years service in
the House and ten in the Senate made
him familiar with the legislation and
policy of the country. Three years. serv-
ice in Russia and three in England, as
Minister, and four in the State Depart.
ment, as secretary, made him more IA
miliar with our foreign relations than
any other living man. From this you
will readily believe that it is treat to
converse with him on diplomatic as well
as other subjects, and that those who
spend much time with him depart great
ly wiser than they came He instruct )
without making one feel fiat he does SO,
and you regret v hen he Is called off from
the subject in hand. Hai the state of
my own business permitted I should
have been but too happy to have enjoy
ed his hospitality and society for much
longer period, and to have proited by
conversation wiah one SO well qualified
to impart wisdom and knowledge.

ABSENCE OF MIND.-This is no IN.
common occurrence. A case actually
hapl ened in Boston some time ago.
where a gentleman went to the Post Of
fee for letter and was unable to tell
the clerk who it was for-having for
gotten his own name"
Another instance, which is strictly
true, happened to farmer in New
Hampshire, who, while having some i'm
portant subject on his mind, proceeded
to milk the cows-sitting on the pail
and milking into the stool
Still another instance is that Of q
Clergyman, who, being absorbed in tho't
concluded to take walk. Fearing that
there might be a shower, he assayed tc
take his umbrella, which turned out tc
be hand-saw, nor did he discover his
mistake until he undertook to spread it
Even the great philosophio Newton
was no proof against odd distractions
His cycling the carpenter for instance
who had nearly finished the making OF
an aperture at the bottom OF his door
for egress and ingress to the cat, and
suggesting at the same time, the furth-
er improvement of making a smaller ap-
erture alongside of it for the accommo-
dation of the kitten But there is no
end to these vagaries.

QUEER GRAT1rUDE.-As Captain

QUEER G GRATITUDE.-As Captain -
was walking one afternoon in company
with the Marquis of Anglesey, along
Piocadilly, he was accosted BY G fellow
half soldier, half beggar, with most
reverential military salute:
God bless your honor and long life
to you," said the fellow, with an accent
which betrayed the strong Irish brogue.
How do you know me ?'' said the
military man.
An is it how do know yer honor ?''
said Pat; " faix, good right sure have
to know the iintleman who spared my
life in battle"
The Captain, highly gratifed at this
tribute to his valor in such hearing, slid
half crown into his hand, and asked
him where
God bless yer honor and long life to
YEP said the grateful veteran Z" an sure
it was at New Orleans, when, seeing yer
honor run away as hard as yer legs could
carry ye from the Yankees, I followed
ye hard and fast, and ran after ye out
Nv the way, whereby I saved my life.
Och ! good luck to yer honor, I never
will forget il, sure.''
The gallant captain didn't wish to
hear any more of such history, and
waved his hand for Pat to vamose.
