TRUE AND TOUCHING INCIDRNT.-The
1lasgow Ch'istian Neus gives the following,
as mo fiction, but the plain truth -
"a young man and his wife were preparing
70 attend Christmas party, at the house of a
mend some miles distant. "Henry, nv dear
husband, don't drink too much at the party
to-day; you will promise me, won't YOU

infant BOY IN small blanket, and they

the wife descended from her upper chamber
to join her husband. A pang shot through
her trusting heart as she met him for he was

Iently they rode homeward, save whe,, the
drunken man broke into snatches OF song or
unmeaning laughter. But the wife rode on.
her babe pressed closely to her grieved heart.
"Giye me the baEy Mile can't trust you
with him. said he, as they approached a
oarK ana swollen stream. Alter some hesita-
ton she resigned her first born, her darling
babe closely wrapped in great blanket, to
ms arms. Over the dark waters the noble
steed safely bore them, and when they
reached the bunk the mother asked for the
child. With much care aud tenderness he
placed the bundle in her arms but when she
clasped it to her bosom, no babe was there

a SPIRITUAL PROPHECY. Great capacity of
faith is required in these days to swallow the
statements published in the papers. We were
not aware that the gift of prophecy was
claimed for "the spirits but it scenes to be,
DR.. II. F. Gardner, formerly of this CITY,
makes singular statement in the Neqo F,aq-
tand SpsrttuGltSt. He had note to nav at
the bank, and some eight weeks before its
maturity, his guardian spirits told him not TO
be anxious about it, that they would impress
man to come to his aid, that the man i'm
pressed would on a future day hand him
three fifty dollar bills, while standing in a
certain described position, and with that a
part of the note could be paid, and an arrange
ment be made for the balance. A few DAYS
before the note matured, the doctor saws, a
person who knew nothing of his needs or of
these facts, and whom he never would have
thought of asking for aid, came to him in his
othce. stood in the position ioretold by the
spirits, and handed him the three fifty dollar
bills on the Hamilton Bank, saying that he
"felt impressed" that the doctor needed it.
lhe tulhilment was exact in its correspon
dence to the prophecy in all its details. This
is sumner, for we suppose the doctor inten
tons to tell the truth will not be doubted
But ii the spiritualists have really obtained
TINS power TO impress people to pay their
notes at the bank, it is time for men and

The last Virginia Legislature, to protect its
Underwater counties from the alarming migra-

all such vessels and the collection Of fees for
it. A Massachusetts, captain refused to pay
and is now contrasting the law before the Vir-

under this surveillance, Il is proposed in our
Legislature TO send commissioners TO Virginia
TO give the law fair trial. The receipts

ten thousand dollars, and the convenience to
the shippers incurred loss even greater than
that sum. Virginia is crotehety common.
