OF satisfying :" Fl. 81 er apy other oliector.
as with q profound regard to their j septial
Importance in the orderly arrangement and
true Interpretation Of scientific facts.
al. 81 has discovered by the oalyano-
meter the scientific fact, that the electrical
current passes from the head toward The
ends Of the hair, and not toward the brain
and this fact he uses to strengthen his OBJ
lection to an immutable truth, which Is,
mat /" the procession of life IS from vithia, Z
and to sustain himself in the sensuous fall
lacy that life flows into man fom rfiEout.
This is evident from his statement above.
Thus he makes the facts Of science contra
diet instead Of confirm the truth, and in "a
far shuts himself out Of her temple, and
goes wandering among maze Of isolated
incongruous facts, which, Ike scattered
clumps Of dead cedais, dot here and there
the sterile and sandy plains of an atheistic
science.
III. s. evidently Identifies Man with
the corporal structure lie temporarily IN
habits, and finds in ii 4 an electric engine
from which all "neryr power is supplied.
This, suggest, is "rather theoreticai for
this age Of facts" Not only SO, but it s]e-
grades man into a mere machine, which, if
generally accepted, would render us power
less against our Southern propagandisls Of
the doctrine that man is propertyt For
if man is but a machine, no wrong il done
in holding him as property. But my essay
affirms that Man is an organ, not Of cleo
tricity, but of LIFE that this organism is
| spiritual and indestructible, therefore sub
stantial, yet not material. Taking it for
granted that this is SO, in accordance with
the scriptures Of Divine revelation, pro-
ceeded to speak Of electricity as a medium
bywhich this spiritually organized man acts
upon the corporal covering with which he
is in this world clothed, and by which latte
he can act upon the material substances Of
this natural world. As a confederation OF
this truth, which all intelligent minds admit
and understand, I spoke of the hair as a
conductor Of the mediatory element Of cleo.
tricity, but gave no theory whatever on
the subject, as charged upon me by I'll. s.
! did indeed speak of the correspondent
relation Of the human hair to certain spir-
itual principles, and suggested the necessity
of an attention to this matter By all who
are DESTROYS Of instruction in the hidden
wisdom of the Word, but this seems t
have made no impression on the mind q
II. S., though that was really the sol,
end in view Of all that | had written.
| Before closing these remarks allow me /,
add, that without the aid Of coirespon
dences," or the relation bltween spiritua
and natural hugs, the Unity Of Man can
not be seen, much less The Upity Of Nature
and still less the UHity Of God. But o.
this grand theme | hope to have opportu
nifty soon OF speaking more fully.

Letters for Children NO. Il.
D. wILp-BIRD.

DEAR CHILDREN The sun is shining
brightly on the drifed snow, and the
thought comes to my mind that perhaps
you would like to hear about one Of
Redeme's sleigh rides. And now imagine
a great many bright eyes look up, and
sweet little lips are saying DO tell US about
it." Well, after Redeme had gone from
New York to Vermont, and had grown up
to be fair woman, she married Mr.. B.
They Lad good home, and Redeme, whom
we will Low call Mrs, was always very
busy taking care Of her husband and child
rem. They did not have cotton cloth for
clothes, as we do: but they raised flax, and
Mrs. used to spin and weave it for their
summer clothes, and spin and weave wool
for winter use. In those days, people
were obliged to be very diligent to make
necessary things, and had No time to spend
in making such useless, fashionable things
as we SEQ nowadays: and | think they
were the happier and better for it. Dir.
had nice grove Of maple trees, and every
spring made sugar; and then the children
had nice time dipping snow-balls into
the warm sugar. One bright morning in
the latter part Of winter, JUST before the
snow went oil, Mr.. b. harnessed grey
Charley to the blue cutter, to 90 from
Cambridge to Fairfax to visit some friends.
Mrs. b, had her babe ID her lap, and her
/ two little girls sat down before them, and
away they went on the snow, over tie hills
and through tie valleys, till they came TO
a place where the ROAD Wy along the bank
Of Lamoille river The Ice on the river
was smooth, and teams were passing on ii,
and Mr.. B., thought he would drive on
to the ice, as he could 40 faster there
Grey Charley liked that, for he could 60
ike the deer On the Ice. The tall, green
pine trees, and the hemlock ard spruce
looked bright and cheering, standing IN the
snow Oh tic river bank. On they rode,
hour after hour, and the sun shone 50 warm
\ that tie nator on the ice grew deeper, and
the horses feet sent the spray on to tho
children, ard little s., said "Fatber | arc
afraid the ice viii break, it melts ~ fast
But Mr.. i. threw shawl over the children
to keep off the spray, and said @Dont be
afraid, we'll soon DO in Fairfax Mrs. B.
was somewhat fearful as they dew near
the rapids, but She tried to be quiet, for
/ Mr.. B. was not at AL disturbed. Finally
the sun began to sink in the west, and the
denae woods on the river bank locked

Por the uerali
Remarks on the Reply of 81. s."

Mr.. ED1ToR: To those who have read
the essay to which the above is a reply,
one Of two things must be apparent: either
your correspondent !" I'll. S" cannot under
stand plain statement, or must have
been singula.ly unfortunate in the choice Of
words to convey my meaning to bis mind.
For instance, what stated as an ocularly
demonstrated fact, namely, that the hair is
conductor Of electricity, he chooses to
understand as an hypothesis" from which
he makes me to conclude that The hair
acts as source of electric stimulus to The
brain, the action Of sOlsich generates aeru-
Gus PoaUer Z!
IL any word or sentence Of mine appears
in the remotest degree to warrant such a
prepost.rou inference as the above, am
not SUE that anything can say on the
subject will serve to make me understood.
What! A conductor the source Of stimu-
lus? The idea is absurd. Only think Of
the conduit-pipe, which conveys water into
your house, IS the source Of that nourish-
ing fluid End think, again, Of the spring
from which the water flows as generating
power Of anx sort in the human system
1t is surely unnecessary fer me to say that
10 such nonsense as that can he fairly at
tribLted to the article referred to.
Having shown that III. S." entirely
nisapprehends the drift of my essay, IN
that he fails to perceive the principles upon
which it IS based, | deem it needless to fol-
low him through the many deriyatlve errors
which make up the remainder Of his reply
| fully admit the scientific facts Of winch ne
speaks, but hold them all subserslent to
principles which be ignores; and for this
reason | VII state more explicitly those
principles, not 50 much in the expectation
