A Candid Mind.

There is nothing sheds so fine light
upon the human heart as candor 1t was
called whiteness by the anCients; for its
purity; and it has always won the esteem
due to the most admirable of the virtues.
However little sought for or practiced, all
do the homage Of their praise, and all feel
the power and charm of its influence. The
man whose opinions make the deepest
mark upon his fellow-man, whose infu-
ence is the most lasting and efficient;
whose friendship is instinctively sought
where all others have proved faithless is
not the man OF brilliant parts, or fatter-
ing tongue, or splendid genius. or COM
handing power, but he whose lucid can
dor and ingenious truth transmit the
hearts real feelings pure and without re-
fraction. There are other qualities which
are more snowy. and other traits that
have higher place in the worlds code
of honor, but none wear better, or gather
less tarnish by use, or claim deeper hom-
age in that silent reverence which the
mind must pay to virtue,

A man passes for what he is worth
Very idle is all curiosity concerning all
other peoples estimate Of us, and idle is
all fear of remaining unknown. If a man
knows that he do anything that he can
do it better than any one else-he has a
pledge Of the acknowledgement of the
fact by all persons. The world is full Of
judgment-days, and In every assembly
that man enters, in every action that he
attempts, he is gauged and stamped
What hath he done 2" is the divine ques-
ton which searches men, and transpierces
every false reputation. A fop may sit in
any chair in the world, nor be distin-

doubt concerning the respective ability
of human beings, when we seek the truth.

Spiritual Delusions.

The Dayton co. Gazette details q very
remarkable instance of monomania, which
has just been terminated in that city, in
the case of the Rev. Joshua Epson, a
Universalist clergyman, who died at II
o'clock last Sunday night. As has lived
in an almost Skeleton condition, abstain
ing from nourishment for fifteen, twenty,
and even thirty days in succession. He
has maintained and believed that he did
this under the direction of " the spirits"
who promised by this course of decision,
to develope him into a more extraordina-
ry medium" than has hitherto been
known He lived under the impression
that hundreds ofdisembodied spirits were
constantly talking with him, directing
him, encouraging, rebuking him, prescribe
ing what he should eat, what he should
say, foretelling every day the least change
in his physical condition, and furnishing
bin severely when he refused to act in ac-
cordance with their directions. The Ca
zette says Professedly by their infor.
nation, he pointed out with singular ac-
curacy many of the symptoms that would
manifest themselves in his own case, some-
times for weeks before they actually oc-
Cured. With limbs hardly larger than
an infants, unnble to rise from bis he'd,
and frequently suffering exquisite tortures
yet, supported as he said BY the spirits, he
exhibited the most extraordinary hope,
cheerfalness and enthusiasm. The spirits
constantly signiied to him that he should
recover to fulfil his mission; to afford a
wonderful specimen of spiritually de.
veloped man; and to proclaim the truth
to word sunk in doubt and mbelief.-
In this the spirits were mistaken, but
there is not the slightest reason to doubt
Mr.. Upson's sincerity. Though the VIC
tim of what seems to us delusion, he
was, we have reason to believe. all honess1
and good man."
