worthless. The correspondent, after citing
one Of the thirteen cases found against Full
Ter, to illustrate the heinous nature Of the
charges, says the prosecution Of theses cases

Mark TWain's Advice - Little Girls
Good little girls ought not to max,
mouths at their teachers for every trifling of
fence. This retaliation should only be re
sorted to under peculiarly aggravated cir
cums,ances.
Ifyou have nothing but ragged dol
stuffed with sawdust, while one OF your mors
fortunate little playmates has a costly china
one, you should treat her with a show Of
kindness nevertheless. And you ought no,
to attempt to make forcible swap with
her unless your conscience would justify
you in it and you know you are able to dc
it.
Yon ought never to take your little broth
er's chewing gum" away from him by main
force; it is better TO rope him in with the
promise of the first two dollars and and a
half you find floating down the river on a
grindstone. In the artless simplicity natu-
raj to his time of life he will regard it a. a
perfectly fair transaction. In all ages OF
the world this eminentl plausible fiction has
lured the obtuse infant to financial ruin and
disaster.
II at any time you find it necessary to cor
rect your brother, do not correct him with
mud-never on any account throw mud at
him, because it will soil his clothes. 1t is
better to scald him little; for then you at
tain desirable results-you secure his imme-
date attention to the Lesson YOU are incul-
eating, and at the same time your hot water
will have a tendency to remove impurities
from his person-and possibly the skin also,
in spots.
II your mother tells you to do a thing, it
is wrong to reply that you won't. 1t is better
and more becoming to intimate that You will
do as she bids you, and then afterwards act
quietly in the matter according TO the die
tates Of your better judgment.
You should ever bear in mind that ii Is to
your kind parents that you are indebted for
you food and your nice bed, and for your
beautiful clothes, and for the privilege of
staying home from school when you let on
that you are sick. Therefore you ought to
respect their little prejudices and humor
their little whims, and put up with their
foibles until they get to crowding you too
much.
Good little girls always show marked
Difference for the aged. You ought never to
''sass" old people unless they 'ssass' you
first.

God has given To man two methods of
attaining a knowledge Of truth-intuition
and reason. What intuition and reason both
affirm to he true, no man need doubt. Clair
voyance has demonstrated beyond all cavil
the truthful character of intuition. There il
a not a clairvoyant in the world who does
| affirm the existence Of the soul after death,
no matter what may be his normal belief.
Clairvoyance, then in demonstrating the
tru,hfulnes~ Of intuition, has also demon
s,rated the Immortality Of the soul.
We hsye now arrived at the last nf the
propositions which is to be considered; the
proof which clairvoyanoe affords Of the
power of spirits who have left the earth
form to communicate with those who remain
behind.
As matter Of course, this portion Of the
argument a. well n the former, il addressed
only to such As believe inthe phenomena Of
clairvoyance. To those who are vet 80 far
behind the great age in which they live as to
doubt or sheer at magnetism and t-vcholopi-
cal science, all that has been said or will he
said BY the writer can be of no use. Such
persons have vet to learn the b c Of that great
Silence which lies at the basis of all others
and j. the most important of them ali. In
order to make it plain that clairvovance doe,
pfford scientific and conclusive proof Of the
aower Of spirits to communicate with u-, il
will be necessary TO refer to some Of the IA
nliliar and ordinary phenomena Of animal
magnetism. These phenomenas may be di-
vided into three classys: 1st. Profound
abstraction, m gnetic sleep and insensibility
To external Influences 81. Sympathetic
clairvoyance. Sd. independent clairvoy-
ance. Attention Is more particularly re-
quested to the second cla~, namely: Sym
pathetic clairvoyance. The subject, while
in this state, is almost entirely under the
control Of the operator. No vocalizatior Of
the will Of the positive operator Is required
to indnce Obedience in the negative subject.

will be perpotuated. Every advan-
tage peculiar to our civil institu-

who stood in the breach and pre-.
vented the country from being sup

Now we go hence to place these

one moment-who will strew flow

some mountain gorge or glen to
die alone; indeed, many, whose
graves are unknown to any but
