THE FOOLS WISDOM.

1t is said that one of the rough countrymen
who went up to shake hands with Senator
Douglas, during his ovation in New York. last
Friday, saluted him by saying-'I come from
- to look at the rising sunp' exposing, in
his unsophisticated candor, amotive which has
induced much wiser men than he look to the
same quarter for light and guidance. 1t is but
few months since thousands of eyes, not ac-
customed to be deceived, turned towards him
for no other reason than that he happened to
be shining with an accidental lustre, which
proved to be rather like that of the meteor,
aun whose rising was once said to destroy
nights vulgar lights. The fellow who blurted
out the truth SO bluntly will probably be no
worse deceived than better men have been be-
fore him, and men who ought to have known
better For ten years the policy OF Mr.. Doug,
las has been to secure immediate personal ag-
grandizement. If his policy has been inconsist
EMIT has been successful. Ifhe has often chang
ed his weapons, he has always carried his point.
We imagine that that great reputation for sa-
gacity which he enjoys, rests on no other foun-
dation than that instinct by which lower orders
of being are enabled to snuff danger from afar
off, and to get out of the way. Theirs takes
an animal direction; his a political; which is
most commendable is a question of ethics
which it does not fall on us to determine. The
candor of the man who reverenced him because
he was victorious in several skirmishes is ad-
mirable. But his augment in allowing no other
reason is execrable. Better not be deluded by
"rising suns" whose light will not bear analy-
sis, and that too, while the whole heavens are
radiant with risen suns shining with their own
lirht

The REV. JOHN PIERPoNT ON SPIRIrUALIsM-
The Rev John Pierpont gave the ninth of the series
OF discourses at Washburn Hall, on Spiritualsm
yesterday afternoon, from john Al: "Beloyed
believe not every spirit but try the spirits whether
they are of God; because many false prophets are
gone out into the worldn The speaker commenced
by stating that, although all the audience were not
technically believers in spritualism yet all believed
in the compound nature of man, part animal and
part spiritual The difference between the believers
in the spiritual doctrine, so called and non-belev
crs, WAS that spirualits take the ground that the
spirits of departed persons manifest their power to
and mold communication with the living Non-spirt-
ualists deny this, and say that the living must wait till
death calls, before communicating with the deceas-
ed These are the differences and the facts are TO
De determined by evidence according each ones
reason shall incline him to decide. The subject was
broad one, and open TO the general judgment.
Great effect upon the Christian world depended
upon whether spiritual manifestations were true or
false, 1t was no less question than the breaking
down of the partition walls between heaven and
earth, or the bringing of heaven to the earth
The speaker then proceeded TO answer some of
the objections raised against the spiritual theory and
to consider the alleged improbabilities of the exist
ence of communications between the living and the
departed. The popular idea of heaven as locality
an immense distance oiTin the armament was aIlud
ed to- in contrast with the spirtuaists view that the
spirits ofthe departed hover round their former places
ofabode while in the flesh Heaven is a state ofexist
ence in communion with the laws and will of G cd and
not particular locality, with streets paved with gold.
&c. Heaven we can realize while here if we do
right. 1t consisted more in feeding the hungry
clothing the naked, SC, than in such employments
as are popularity associated with the future life
The speaker said there was nothing in the New
Testament to show that heaven is not to be within
the atmosphere of this globe. He said he had not
given up one iota of his Unitarian faith, of forty
years, by adopting Spiritualism-not one-it was in
perfect consonance Herewith, and he was doing
Gods work in advocating it.
Mr. Picrpont read the following verses from the
hymn sung on the occasion, as very beautifully ex
planatory of the Spiritualists theory:
1t is faith, sublime and sure
That ever round our head,
Are lowering, on nOiseless wings
The spirits of the dead.
1t is beautiful belief,
When endeth our career
That 1t will be our ministry,
10 watch DER others here.
The speaker then proceeded at length, in defence of
his theory answering objections and illustrating it
by personal references, &C. The discourse was fair
and candid in its tone, and was well received

FESTIVAL AT THE MISSION CHAPEL-The New
Years festival at the Mission Chapel, Saturday af-
ternoon, was an occasion of much pleasure to the
children connected with the Industrial and Sabbath
Schools which have been gathered and taught by our
worthy missionary assisted by a self-denyng band
of Christian women. The banners of the several
classes, with appropriate notices, were arranged
about the walls, and between them were large ever
green branches, covered with garments and tempt
ing eatables. The garments were made by the MEM
bers of the Industrial School, and they were freely
distributed to the children. Interesting speeches
were made by Rev. Messrs. Souther, Reynolds
James, and Read, d. f. Parker, Esq, Dea. Ichabod
Washburn, and Mr.. Farley Goddard. The children
sung many beautiful hymns in fine STYLE recited por-
tions of Scripture and acclaimed some spirited and
appropriate pieces The exercises were closed with
prayer by Rev. Mr. Read, after which an exciting
and interesting ensued, during the distribution
of the articles on the trees.
The affair quite successful in the delight and
enjoyment it afforded to the children but it did not
draw together many of the friends of the Mission
and its objects was expected We are sure no
more pleasant sight could have been looked upon,
and none better calculated to inspire love of char
ity and good works than the happy and thankful
countenances of these one hundred and fifty little
ones, whom the New Year was SO pleasantly
dawning.
