STRANGE TDEs.--The days of miracles
would seem to be coming around again, II
we may believe the numerous wonderful
stories anoat. The following, from the
New England Spritu0lst, is published by
that paper as the truth
Mrs. p. Cleveland, of Middlebury, W.,
giyes us an account of singular phase of
mediumship, in the case of lady OF that
place on whose arms and face writing and
various figures are made to appear by spirit
power. The flesh rises up and assumes a
red appearance, sometimes delineating the
forms of beautiful flowers or depicting the
features of persons in the spirit land. On
one occasion a skeptic. stranger to the me-
dium, called apon her, and while expressing
his increduity as to what had been told OF
the matter, there came the appearance Of a
ship upon her face and name, which he
declared to be that of his brother, who was
drowned at sea some years since. On one
occasion of a lecture on Spiritualism in
Sudbury, this medium being present, she
was caused to raise her arm in the presence
of the audience and while they were gaz
ing-as the spirit spoke through her an ap
propriate Observation-Disclosures appeared in
large letters the words GooD-BYE' The
circumstance produced as much astonishment
as could repetition of one of the miracles
of old.

HoILowAY's PnIS.-This great household
medicine ranks among the leading necessa-
ries of life. Dyspepsia bowel complaints,
and bilious disorders, are common to all eli
mates. Tens of thousands die of them and
to suffer under them in their chronic form is
a living death Now it is fact as well es-
tablished as that the sun lights the world,
that these Pills invariably cure the above
named maadies, in all their Protean forms.
Are they not, then, articles of prime neces-
sity r? And does not the head of a family
who ncglects to administer them to the sick
of his household, incur heavy responsibility.
If proof Of their efficacy is desired, it is
offered in the shape of volumes of authentic
testimony from every nation on the face of
the earth.

FRANKLIN on LEARNING LANGUAGEs.--Be Being
asked his opinion respecting the study Of Ian
guages, Benjamin Franklin said:
look on languages as arbitrary sounds or
characters whereby men communicate their ideas
to each other. Now, if already possess a Ian
guage which is capable of conveying more ideas
than shall ever acquire, were it not wiser in me
TO improve my time in getting sense through that
one language, than waste it in getting sounds
through fifty languages, even if | could learn so
many?
Il object 10 learning dead languages principally
on account Of the shortness of human life. Taking
them one with another. men do not live above
forty years. Plutarch indeed. puts it forty three.
But say forty. Well. of this. full ten years are
lost in childhood, before any boy thinks of a
Latin Grammar. This brings forty years down
to thirty. Now such a moment as this to spend
five or six years in learning dead languages, es-
pecally when all the books in those languages
are translated into ours, and besides, we already
have more books on every subject than such short
lived creatures can ever acquire, seems very pre-
posterous.'
