Just Right.

An incident occurred in the Circuit Court in
session here, the day before yesterday, which
has won foi Judge KEEP the highest praise; and
not undeservedly either, we think, as it shows
determination on his part to punish immortality
whenever it is i'll his power to DO so, and this
noble administration of his duty, has heightened,
if possible that respect and admiration, which
his conceded ability has already won for him.
The case was this =: young man was called to
the stand to testify, that the character of a GER
tain young woman was not what it should be-
Judge Keep told him, when he ook the stand
that il he [witncss)had taken part of criminal
nature, he would be subject to rigid cross-ex-
animation, and he would be held responsible Tor
what he might testify TO, and at the same time he
should not be compelled to answer questions
that would criminate himself Notwithstanding
this caution and advice, the witness t7ok partic-
ular pains to tell of his own criminal intercourse
with the woman, and gave snch evidence in an
exulting, Boosting way. When he had finished
his testimony and was about to leave the stand
Judge Keep requested Sheriff Morris to take the
witness into custody, until he gave bail in the
sum of two hundred and fifty dollars for his ap.
pearance at the next term of the Circuit Court
there TO answer an Indictment for the crime of
Foundation, an offence to which he willingly
testified he was guilty. Never was boasted
crime SO quickly and justly punished; the wit
ness now prisoner shook with mingled rage
and fear. but it awaited not the decree had met
with response in the heart of every man in the
room, and shout of applause went up, which
said 'it is iust!'
It's refreshing 10 witness instances of this kind
and speaks volumes for Judge Keep as an up
right administrator of the lRw.-Racine AdrO-
este.

The Weather.

The extremely cold weather (for the season)
that has prevailed during the month of April has
been a theme of comment all over the country.
Some have even thought it necessary to resort
TO the supposed influence of some comet which
has not yet come near enough to be visible to
the naked eye. or some other unnatural theory
20 account for it. There is little doubt that win
ter has been prolonged somewhat beyond the
average length in this latitude, and the month
of April has been colder than usual. Still nu-
merous parallels may be found by looking back
a few years, even to this frozen state ofthings
In looking over some Of our files we find cold and
backward springs are no rarity here.
In l849, we find the following record:-"The
morning of the LIST May. in this neighbOrhOod,
the ground was frozen in some places. Such has
been the character of the past month, and while
we write, (May 4th) there is little prospect of a
thaw." That season the first boat came through
be straits on the 10Th of April.

TO bear horses-snOw laying with no disposition

1852, The first boat came through the straits,
May.
1856. The first boat through, May 2nd.
BY this it will be seen there are precedsnts
for the present cold spring.
This morning, April 30th the atmosphere is
soft and balmy though little cool The song
of robins and blue birds, comes to us cheeringly.
The grass upon the common has taken a new
lint ofgreen, and things generally look spring-

Spiritual theories versus Reason.

spiritual LQeOIloS versus Reason.
Those who attended the Lectures the Spirit
uiSt must have remembered the following
points - First that all our impulses were the
effect of certain relations"
In as much the soul has a commanding re-
aton over the body, just so far does it crafty its
desires by and through that instrument. 1t is
immaterial whether those desires be pure or i'm
pure, '"haiher healthy and productive of peace,
or unholy and tending to moral death. And that
when the relation ceases the impulse ceases also,
for, quotes the Speaker; when the reason of
the Law ceases the law ceases also, and so with
our desires and relations, for says he, when our
relati ms change our desires change likewise.
Secondly. From mesmerism he argued that
evil or corrupt Spirits who had left the Earth
morally desformed and disfgured by their I'M
bIidled lusts; were still longing in the spirit to
taste again the sin created pleasures of Earth,
and he argued farther that they did by being'cn
TeppSSt" with similar depraved mortals on earth
enjoying the same species OF wickedness, not
withstandng their change of relation. Now here
is a dilemma; ia. e which horn he may he is ev-
identity hung up. 1.-THE first proposition be true
then the soul leaves all its worldly desires at the
grave and enters upon new relation consequent
tly having new desire, then in that case the
second proposition is absolutely false and contra
dictOry because the soul after death would
not have desire that was answered by the body,
in-as-much as the relation with the body had
ceased, and the body had gone to decay.
So, if the second proposition be reliable then
the first is man of straw rather a spectral
appiation, probably so to vanish as another
less ia igue'si was ready to take his place. II
he second be true, tnen the soul not only re-
tans the same desires in spite of change in re-
aton and if still possesses the power to enjoy
such pleasure i'll the after world, it proves its
self beyond the power of the spiritulsts heaven,
ordained providence which would elevate it toits
seventh degree; and also disproyes all the beau
;ful theory of relation and impulse as bull
wark of the new creed
Two truths cannot prove each other false yet
two falseOUds set face to face GO into mutul
dissolution. These two propositions contain the
elements of discord if they were both true, it
could not be- II either or both are false the dis.
cord is nothing strange.
