The Power Of Conscription.

Eugene Gulzot gives us an incident IN Par
isian life, which he regards as romantic, ana
which is at least amusing
The scene IL laid in the pavilion attached
to a country house in the neighborhood OF
the great city the time few minutes before
/ IL, y. m Mons. Armand awaits with pa
tience Madame X, with whom he has ar
ranged an interview at that hour, quite IN
nocently, but quite secret.
Close te the appointed time, Mons. Ar
mand hears footsteps. Is it the lady? The
door opens lie stands stupifed in the pres
ence OF her husband. Mons. X. has return
ed from Paris, and, deeming it too late TO
awaken the sleepers of the house, he comes
to share the room Of his friend in the pa
yilion.
The conversation between the lover and the
husband is amusing, and as the hour ap-
proaches, the perplexlty of the former IN
creases. His agitation leads him to the most
inconsi stent remarks and the most inexph-
cable questions.
"Wlat is the matter with youf " asks the
! husband.
/ Nothing
81 discompose YOU. How strangely you
look Have / interrupted something serl-
! Gus ?''
/ The lover stands with his hands pressed
apon little table, weak and nervous with
agitation.
..Ah ~ exclaims the husband, 81 see you
were about trying an experiment IN table
turnng"
! The suggestion saved the lover. Gradu
ally recovering ho admits the fact. The
whole public was then in rage OF table
turning, and the most marvellous effects were
attributed to the process.

Y0u smile ut me. You doubt Shall
explain to you, by an exhibition Of the true
science. one Of those miracles Of magnetism
Of which speak? VIII you deny the eyI-
dence Of facts ~
'.Yoa shall have it. My will can traverse
space and overcome distance. Name some
one ut the chateau, and will summon him
here in a moment. Shall il be your yenera-
be aunt F''
"oh, MOI She is too old, the experiment
would ruin u.s.
"Your wife, them"
every well, my wife"
Mons. A., with an mir Of intense thought,
leans on the table and inwardly exerts his
magnetic will.
In a few moments Madam X. enters and
perceivec her husbands, stands mute, pife,
and with outstretched arms, and an air of
stupor wholly unaffected.
s'Prodigious !" excaims the husband.
|ElIush," SAYS the magnetism. s'D0 not
awake her. Do you at last admit the power
Of magnetism? DO you acknowledge the
mystery Of somnambulism and the magnet
ic currents ?''
81 am convinced - said the astonished hus-
band.
Fearful of awakening the somnambulist,
the magnetism forbids the husband 10 speak
or 70 approach, and with few words and
gestures willed her departure, and she walks
of.
All learned lesson by the experiment,
and the husband was thereafter firm be-
lever III animal magnetism.

70 FARMERs-HANG OUT YOUR BANNERS
A writer in the Country Gentleman says: 81
have scarcely ever rode in the country with
out thinking how much matter of conve-
niencc and satisfaction would the general
adoption of this practice be among the agri-
cultural community. There is certainly a
much greater propriety in the farmer putting
his name upon his door, when near the road,
or upon his gate post when his house stands
back, than for persons residing in cities" A
