WHAT SPIRITUALIsTs BELIEvE.-A spiritualist
in communication to San Francisco paper,
says:
There is one point in reference TO spiritual
lists, about which they are most generally mis-
understood, and hence calumniated by those
whose business it is to attend to such matters.
Through your kindness, sir, l would state that
persons called spiritualists belong to every
grade and condition of society, in the church
and out of the church, from the Hottentot to
the most enlightened men of this century, from
the bluest orthodoxy to the most unlimited pro-
gressionist. They hold to no opinion or belief
In common. except the belief that the intelli
gent spirit lives on, after leaving the present
body and can still, under some circumstances
communicate with those yet in the body. Di
vergng from this, they are of every belief
having no common bond of union save that OF
human nature, belonging to the same great
family of God. Hence they are not, like the
members of a particular organization, with q
formula of faith, responsible for the faith or
acts of each other, no more than the Bodhist is
answerable for the belief or acts of the Chris
tian, or vice versa. This faith, that the spirit
after leaving the body can communicate with
those still in the body, is peculiar to no age OIL
people. 1t is the foundation of all religions, il
every age of the world. Hence, all religionist
are spritualists

DEATH OF A MIsER.-The Newark Mercury
chronicles the death of William Patterson, a
Scotchman eighty years DID, who has been
known in that vicinity for the last quarter of q
century as the Swamp Miser." He lived and
died talking of interest and gain, and during
his last illness asked the doctor who had been
called in spite of his objections, what he was
going to charge for his visit, saying he would
rather spend the money for something else.
Neither would he have clergyman, saying he
believed none of their doctrine. His belief was
peculiar. After certain number of years he
expects to return 10 this world young man,
and he amassed his property with view to
that event, expecting to receive it again
with interest when he returns. Two nephews,
it is said will inherit his large property. The
furniture of bis room consisted of three chairs
and three chests. One of the chairs aud one of
the chests made his bedstead, and he lay upon
them without covering, seldom undressing him
self, and always seen standing, sitting or lay
ing, with his hat on his head.

CooUETRY.-In most women-espccially if
they be bandsome--the love of coquetry is as
strong as the love of life. 1t shows itself as
noon as the beauty of the maiden begins to bud.
1! puts forth its blossoms as she advances into
womanhood. and fades only with her fading
charms. Vanity-vanty is the root of the
plant. The desire of pleasing all-of offending
none-is the origin of coquetry. Then too,
the display of power by which the strong man
is shorn of his strength, leads many female,
Delilah-like, to turn traitoress to him who
trusts too securely in her sincerity. Whatever
be the causes of this species of deception, its
effects are most deplorable; for it cannot fall
in the end, to render her who practices it an
object of Indifference to those upon whom it is
practised.

THE OLD CELLAR DOOR.

How sweet to remember the pleasures gone by,
The time of our boyhood and glee; ..ate
What bosom but swells with half-choking sigh
when. in fancy, our old haunts we sect
But sweetest and dearest of all to the heart,
When might throws her shadows before, "
Are those days that beheld us, with juvenile art
Sliding down on the Old Cellar Door.
How brightly 1t shone in the gay summer sun,
How sweetly ii smiled at our side;
And the nails seemed to laugh and encourage the fun
As over their smooth heads we'd glide.
They, toe, oft deceived us and stayed our career;
OFT our trousers maliciously lore;
Turned our joy to distress and our smile to a tear
Those nails in the Old Cellar Door.
What is life but door, leading on to the grave,
Oer which unthinkingly glider
The nails are its troubles and trials-the pave
The place where those trials subside.
The Sexton's the Dutchman who drove us away,
And often indignantly swore;
And menaced the ''felers' that gathered to play
And slide on his Old Cellar Door

BATHING IN MOLTEN LEAD.--A scientific COR
respondent sends us the following:
We have often astonished the uninitiated by
passing the fingers and portion of the hand
through melted lead. This may be done with
impunity if the hand is little moist-not wet.
In many persons the natural moisture of the
hands is sufficient. The metal is repelled by
the slight moisture, and the hand can be passed
through it without danger or Inconvenience.
A peculiar liquid velvety sensation isfelt, which
is not at all unpleasant. A writer in the C5ur-
Ter des EStats Unis says that the same thing can
be done, and even that the hands can be bath
one thousand six hundred degrees without any
ill results.

A PHrLosoPHIcAL FIVE YEAR OLD.-Among
my little friends there is fve-year old boy
who is very philosophically inclined. He is
rarely satisfied with the fact that Thing is, but
he wants to know all the why's and wherefores
of its existence. The other day Joe was watch
ing with eager interest the dismemberment of
the body corporate of defunct pig. He in
terrupted the operator with many questions as
to the precise object and bearing of the differ
ent members, as he saw them separated one
from another. Finally, the corpse was in the
condition of many Of our live politicans-it
had lost its back bone. Little Joe regarded
this detected member with close attention for q
few minutes and then exclaimed with an air OF
triumph:

A DRUNKEN GovERNoR.-C Col. Perrault, of
Louisiana, was lately sent by Gov. Wickliffe,
of that State, to Missouri, to procure the extra
dition of a murderer who was in custody at ST..
Louis. He waited on Gov. Stewart of Missouri
who happened to be drunk at the time, and
who not only rejected the requisition, but told
the bearer to tell Gov Wickliffe that he was
odd fool" adding, "if hadn't more brains
than he I'd resign" His Excelency further
informed the Colonel that his (Stewart's) "head
