A Gay Deceiver in Dayton-He

in that City, and two Elsewhere.
We heard yesterday some particulars in
regard to the proceedings of certain Jos.
HeInphill, which we were requested 10 pub

villainous conduct of the man, as 10 put un-

onmen:. married in Dayton u3 the third o.

the eere mony, took her to the Lafayette
House, where ne ffetts.s feitts ..oss ss;t net retT,Tn
and she has never seen him sincs.
At the same time that this affair OF his
was in progress, he had made arrangements
10 marry another widow, whom he tad per-
suaded 10 meet him at Springfield, the very
day after he was married in Dayton, under
the circumstances above named. The
friends OF the secon fiancee, however, dis
covered the purpose of Ilemphill, and pre-
vented the consummation of the wrong in
tended
But this is not all. While Hemphill had
these two matrimonial engagements on his
hands, he was courting third widow living
in Dayton. ayd finally gained her consent
10 marry him. He persuaded her to let him
have about $500 in money, which she had
saved, on the pretence of making prepara-
tions for the nuptials, and assuring her that
he had just bought farm near Dayton; he
ran off with her money after he was mar
ried to the woman first named.
This. we believe, is all that is known OF
his dealings with the wilows-but it is well
understood that two young Women living in
Dayton and vicinity were the objects of his
attentions, and the recipients-si his promise
to marry. Here are no less than five women
who were at one time in the tolls Of this
villain, and all living within the circnit OF
few miles.
Since his departure, letters have been re-
ceived ailing the decep,ions in other
places. One instance is given of his en-
gagement to lady, who made all prepara-
tions for the marriage, the day fixed, the
company assembled, but the expected BRIDE
groom turned up missing. Another in-
stance is authenticated by letter of his en-
gagement to another woman living some
distance from here-makins in all seven, i,
who have suffered from his machj- .lions
How many mure might be added to the list,
if they would all speak out, we of course
are unable to saw.
HemPhill is about forty years of age, near
six feet nigh, heavy set and dark COM lex

Harshmansville for about two years. When
last heard from he was at Bellefontaine.-

THE PATH TO HEAVEN.

There is a ladder 10 heaven. whose base
Gud has placed in human affections. tender
instincts, symbolic, ceilings, sacraments of
love, through which the soul rises higher
and higher, refining as she goes, till she
outgrows the human, and changes, as she
rises, into the image of the divine. AT the
very top of this ladder, al the threshold Of
paradise, blazes, dazzling and crystalline,
that celestial grade where the soul knows
self no more, having learned, through long
experience of derotion, how blest it is to
lose be rself in that ternal Love and Beauty
of which all earthly fairness aud grandeur
are but the dim type, the distant shadow
This highest step, this sanity eevaiion,
which but few selectest spirits ever ON earth
attain-to raise the soul to which, the Eter-
nal Father organized every relation of hu-
man existence, and strung every cord of
human love; Tor which his world is one long
discipline; for which the souI's human edu
cation is constantly varied; for which it is
now torn by sorrow, now flooded by joy; to
which al its multiplied powers tend, with
upward hands of Gumb and ignorant aspira-
tion-this ultima thule of virtue had been
seized upon by our sage as the all of religion.
He knocked out every round Of the ladder
but the highest. and then, pointing to its
hopeless splendor, said TO the world: "Go
up thilher, and be saved"
The FEARFULNEss OF LOVE.
What makes the love of great mind
ful I'M is hot
it is often the unsealing of hitherto un-
developed portion cf large and powerful
beng: the woman may or may not seem to
other eyes adequate to the effect produced,
but the man cannot forget her, because with
her came change which makes him :or-
ever different being. so it was with our
friend. A woman it was that was destined
to awaken in him a that consciousness
which music, painting and poetry awaken
in more evenly developed minds, and it is
the silent breathing OF her creative presence
that is even now creating him anew, while
as yet be knows i; not.
THE DAWN OF LOVE.
1t is said, that if grape vine be planted
in the neighborhood of well, its roots,
running silently under ground, wreathe
themselves in network around The cold
clear waters, and the vines putting ON out
ward greenness and unwonted clusters and
fruit, is all that tells where every root and
fibre Of its being has been silently stealing.
So those loves are most fatal, most absorb
ing, IN which, with unheeded quietness,

ANNUAL PICNIC OF THE SPIRITUAL
lists.

Yesterday was set aside by few hundred of the
believers in modern Spirtuasm in this city for pic
mic up the Hudson. The grounds selected were under
the bluff on the Hudson at Pleasant Valley At nine
o'clock the Flora left the foot Of Spring street
with hundred and fifty excursionists on board, ac-
companied by band OF music. On arriving at the
de stina,on they debaiked, and proceeded to enjoy
themselves very much like other picnic excursioniss
not spiriiualsts. Al noon it became apparent that
they not etbera!ly organized and they began to
dispose Of broiled chicken, ham, sandgiches, cake
and other edibes after the most material fashion.
Dancing formed a feature Of the amusements, and
was largely participated in. There were no profess
sional mediums in the company. At half past one
o'clock the Thomas c. Ilulse arrived with two hun
dred more SPIRITUAL ts to swell the number and then
merry time commenced. Later group seated them
selves in a circle 10 listen to speaking. There were
no trance ediums present, and the remarks not
claimed to proceed from inspiration.
Mr. Fowler opened with some general remarks in
relation to the good which had been effected by
Spriiuslsm in gaining recognition of the idea OF
the unity of the human race.
Mr. Ira B. Davis stated that he had become be-
lever in Spiritualism from witnessing physical mani
festatons; he was previously an Atheist. He argued
that no man had ever been able 10 himself into
q belief in immortality. lie bad adopted peculiar
views of mans noL-immortality, owing to the disre-
gard which some men showed for the suferings Of
humanity.
Mr.. Henry o. Baker replied to Mr.. Davis, accord.
