Do the Spirits Of the Departed
Revisit the Earth!

- ~s9AA m A-4A-- --Ae
A gentleman of an adjoining town
ship was called to spend much time
With a neighbof OF his in his last
sickness. This neighbOr was a con-
vert of grace, and, as be looked for
ward to the grave, to which his feet
were rapidly tending, death, By this
same divine spirit, had been deprived
of its sting, and the grave Of its victo-
~. Hence he spoke of his death as
one would speak of a pleasant and
delightful journey, with a bright and
glorious Inheritance in prospect. His
attendant was skeptical, and express
ed his doubt of the immortality of the
soul, and asked his dying friend, if
It would not detract from his happy
condition in that eternity, which he
would soon be called to enter, in or
der that his doubts might BE- oremO7ed,
that he would revisit him after his
deoease. This, the dying. friend said,
if possible, he was willing to do. .q.-
The sick man died, and his friend
having nearly lost all remembrance of
the request he had made, was awak-
ened from a sound sleep, in the still
hours ofthe night, by the distinct call
ing Of his name, and, when awake,
his name was again called. On open
ing his eyes he beheld his deceased
friend with all the distinctness of life,
but surrounded with halo of tight
fthe brightness of the sun. Giving
time to be distinctly seen, he vanish
ed away. Har . aaa b"
These visits became frequent, and
the gentleman (fOr s1ch he isl pos
sessed of a strong mind, was dnWill=
ing to admit this manifestation as a
spiritual FeYisiting of his departed
friend, but ascribed il to some pecu-
liar condition of his own mind; so they
were kept to himself, as he had but
little disposition to let the facts be
known. -..
The visits eeased,a soon after his
son, a bright and handsome boy, be-
gan to fade. The parents became
anxious. After treatment for a while
| it seems as if the disease had been
staid, and then again came a slight
return of indisposition, but not sufi-
eient to awaken any serious appre-
tensions. But at period of hopeful
ness he was seized with a violent fit,
and for eight hours the child strug-
gled in one Of the most violent con
tinued commissions ever Witnessed
Death set the little sufferer free
Again the parent is revisited by the
spirit Of his departed friend, and for
the first time confession of this re-
markable manifestation is made to the
father Of the deceased young man not
with any expectation that he would
repeat it, but as he did, and the story
has become Exaggerated, the facts
are given as substantially narrated.
Why all this, if It Is not Gods
method of reminding the thoughtless
and Indifferent that His word is true2
Will it be needed, or will more of Gods
providences be visited to cause sub
mission to His win and an aeknowl-
odgment Of His truth?

How TO STOP TRoUBLE.-To shake
off trouble, we must see about doing
good 10 somebody. Pat on your hat
and go and visit the poor; inquire into
their wants and minister to them,
seek out the desoIat6 and oppressed,
and tell them of the consolation of re-
ligion. We have often tried this and
found it the best medicine for a

Progress.

Few men, used as they are to labor
saving machinery, reflect on the vast ad-
vance made through its means by the
human race during the last ceHtury and
q half. One invention, indeed, may be said
to have built up the foreign commerce
of the United States, laid the foundation
of large manufacturing towns In Eng.
land, and indirectly created sectional
strife which will cure itself by it's own
aciion-tbat is the Cotton Gin. ihe
planning machine, the machine reaper,
the telegraph, the locomotive, and
others, are labor-saving machines, each
and all. To appreciate them prop
erly, just suppose, for moment,
that we should lose sil these inventions
both the machines themselves and their
modes of construction. Back goes the
carpenter to his bench plane, the farmer
to his scythe and sickle, the cotton
plapter to Sambo and Dinab's fingers,
and Uncle Sam with his mail bags, and
the public with its bodies back to the old
fashioned, four.in.hand, suffocation jolt
ers, called stages" But the progress
which the use Of the machines we have
enumerated has made is slow compared
with another-the Sewing Machine. Con-
nected, as tits, with the comfort Of fam
lilies, and priceless luxury, both to the
over burdened mechanics wife and
the lady of fashion, it is becoming
as much matter ,of necessity as
the eridiron or tes-kettle-a piece Of fur
niture, in fact, without which no family
can exist with comfort. At the present
time every family, no matter how mod
crate their means, can have one OF these
little iron ard steel laborers, singing with
lie low and cheerful tones the pleasant
" Song of the Shirt" by paying ten dol.
lars Der month, at No. 256 Second street,
opposite Court Square, aud thus pur-
chase q machine. as the saying is, almost
without knowing it." L

Ayouug man went to visit his intended

TO walk to the depot, and took the railroad
track as the shortest route. He walked
along, paying very little attention to any
thing, being somewhat distracted with
thoughts of bis lsdy-love; but the revery
was suddenly brought to an end by some

lantern kick that sent It flying. Con

The LAST MYSTERIOUS MURDER.-Intense ex-
element prevails In Jacksonville, ILL.,, respecting
the mysterious murder of ex-senator Mcconnell.
His son offers q reward Of $1,000 for the appre-
hension OF the assassin. At 10 O'Clock A. NJ, when
the murder was committed, no one was seen to
enter or leave the deceased's office, which is on
one of the main streets of the city. II is now be-
lieved that the murder was the result OF an old
grudge entertained by man to whom be had
sold land.
A Jacksonville, Illinois, dispatch of the 10th,
says: The arrest Of q man supposed to be the
murderer Of Gen. Mcconnell has been made. He
iis the signer Of the missing note. He was seen
to 20 into the house within five minutes Of the time
'.the crime must have been committed, by two per-
sons--one the milkman, who Identifies him. and by
another person. The book OF interesttables was
opened to the page OF the denomination OF his
note. The pencil mark was at the point on the
column of figures corresponding with the note.
scrap of paper with figures made by Gen. McCon-
nell, corresponding to calculations with that in
terestcolumn and that note, was found on his table.
The arrested man makes contradictory state
mehts TO account for himself. Our lead becomes
more and more fruitful as we proceed. To-mor-
(row will probably develop the whole matter. The
name OF the arrested man IL William A. Robinson
who has lived here for several years; has been
grocery store here, and has heretofore had
good character. He was regarded as q good,
genial, generous fellow and, while the guilty
must fall, We hope farther facts may exonerate
him.
A subsequent dispatch says: The coroner,s
jury In the inquest on the remains OF Hon. Murray
Mcconnell, yesterday returned verdict that the
Robinson, Of Jacksonville. who had been arrested
and kept In confinement as a witness.
The murdered man was worth half million Of
dollars.

The Texas Convention.

The Galveston Civilian says: We are still in the
dark as to most of the final proceedings Of the
Texas Convention, which broke up In disgrace
ful row. What has been adopted as part of the
form of "a new Constitution. and what rejected,
does not seem to be yet known even at Austin. 1t
seems certain, however, that something Of the
sort has been prepared, and resolution adopted,
ordering general election on the LIST Monday IN
july 1869, "for or against" the Constitution, and
at the same time for representatives and senators
in the Legislature, as well as State, district and
county officers, and members of Congress. Nor
gan Hamilton offered resolution that every dec
iaration, bill or ordinance passed by the conven;
ton shall have the sanction OF majority OF the
registered voters. and that all declarations and
ordinances enacted by the convention shall be sub
mitted to the registered voters Of Texas, for their
approval or rejection, separate and apart from
the Constitution But this just and reasonable pro.
position, about the only one of the sort we have
seen from that gentleman, was voted down; 30
that the courts will have to settle that question.
The last account We have seen Of the suffrage
provision declares that all male persons, twenty.
one years of age and upwards, who have resided
in the State for the length of time required by the
Constitution and who are not DISTINGUISHED by
the 14th amendment of the Constitution OF the
United States, indians not taxed excepted) shall
be deemed qualified electors.
