Somany eyes look on me,
, 50 many tender eyesi
So many voices mingle
IN sweet or glad surprise;
Their love. or their delight
While my fond soul is dreaming
or one not here to night,
While my fond soul is dreaming
OF one not here to night.
They prOffer me their praises,
While music hlIs the air.
A manly form is near me,
Bent low beside my ehairl
Whose loving accents tremble
On lips too proud to feigL-
Butmy lone heart is silent,
Till one shall come againl
But my lone heart is silent,
TIL one shall come again.
They press the sparkling wine cup,
10 lips that gnsh with song;
They bow. and smile their greetings,
TO loved ones midst the throng;
And hand in hand together.
They glide adown the dance;
Ny heart is almost breaking.
For one beloved glance
Ny heart is almost breaking
For one beloved glance.
Their voices on the night wind
Eehoing 10 the skies.
Their hearts beat high with pleasure;
But mine is faint with signs
Their souls are tuned to pleasure,
While mine is dull with pain;
And yearni1g. wildly yearning,
To hear one voice again;
But yearniDg, wildly yearning.
To hear one voice again.

In commenting editorially on-a re-
markable article in the London Quar-
terLy Journal Of Science, and which
/ is too long for the columns of d news
/ paper, the New York Tribune says:
The writer of the article is Mr. Will
/ liam Crookes, editor of tho periodical
/ in which it appears, and a chemist
and physicist of high reputation. He
! has devoted several scientific investa-
1 ton of the so-catled phenomena of
Spfrifualism, as presented especially
by Mr.. ID. ID. Home and Miss Kate
Fox, and he writes of them IN the
calm critical manner that we should
naturally look for in a man Of his
character and calling. That the result
OF his inquiries will create q lively
discussion we can hardly doubt. For
/ MIR. ErOokes, though he shows none
of the symptoms of religious enfhnsi-
asn, feels bound to admit the reality
OF the mysterious phenomena which
took place scores and hundreds OF
times in his own rooms, in broad day
light, under conditions of his own
choosing, and under the careful scru-
tiny OF scientific unbelievers. When
man OF his stamp tells US that he has
seen Mr.. Home floating in the air. and
goblets, card-plates, dinner tables, and
other solid objects dancing through
space, as If. the laws of gravity had
| been repealed; when he describes a
self-luminous cloud" that pIucked
| heliotrope blossom and carried it to a
lady when b tells us of nebulous and
ghoslly hands that shaped themselves
out of nothing before his very eyes,
aud rested unresisting in his grasp till
they gradually dissolved into fmpal-
pablo vapor,-we cannot help listen
| ing to him with q certain sort of
amazed respect. For we must ac-
knowledge that he firmly believes his
own statements, and that he Is not 8
p rson to be deceived by any common
lrickery. e
MIR. Crookes apparentlyshas his own
theory of the nature of the manifesta-
items. What that is he does not yet
explain. He emphatically rejects.
however, two explanations which are
often advanced; one that the mediums
are i1ggIers; the other, that the ebser-
yers are insane people or fools.
Whether there is some unknown phv-
steal or Intellectual force which can do
ali these wonders in ways not yet un-
Idefstood, whether the dead return to
us, or devils come 10 deceive Mr..
Grookes promises TO debate hereafter.
This last hypothesis has been argued
tor some months past by the Catholic
Uofla in series of bold articles en-
bodying some of the same narratives
of marvel to which Mr.. Grookes now
hears testimony. The deductions of
the physicist, however. are likely TO
differ widely from the reasonings OF
the theologian, and we shall await the
many Investigations into spiritnalistic
manifestations have enSea befOre--in
destroying the scieniigc reputation of
the investigator, aud leaving the
world uneonvinced. Nlaa

RemarkabIs and Horrible History of a
Wild Human FamiIy-The Nude Nymph
and Ugly satyr of a PennsyIvanis wilder
ness.
Correspondence New York Herald.
TuSkHANNooK. PENN, Jan. Is. 1874. :
William Parks, aged-about twenty
one years, has been lodged in Jail at
this place for repeated attempts to
lake the life of his father, Stephen
Wells Parks, of the town of Monroe,
this county. This brings into prom
inence the history of the Parks family,
known as the ssWild Family of Mon
roe,n which, without exceeding the
hounds OF truth in the least, is one of
the most singular on record.
DISCOVERY OF THE WOOD NYAfPH.
In the falIaof 1871 a party from
Pittston, Luzerne County, were hunt
ing in the mountains of this county.
In wild lonely spot, miles from any
habitation, one of them, hearing
rustIing in the leaves and bushes on
one side of him, was astounded to see
young woman, perfectly hude, dig
ging among the leaves, apparently for
beeeh-nuts. She was on her hands
and knees, and was not aware of the
hunters presence for some time.
When she saw him she uttered harsh
cry and started off like deer through
the woods and was soon out of sight.
Determined, if possible, to find out
something more in regard to this sin
gular apparition, The hunter summon
cd his companions together, told them
what he had seen, and proposed that
they follow in the direction she had
taken, and endeavor to learn where
she came from.

The party walked Tor about mile
through the woods and came to a
small clearing. In one corner of this
clearing was a miserable hoyel, built
of logs and with root of straw. They
went toward if. Before they reached
it the girl who had been seen by their
companion came out of the door, and
following after her was a boy, also, en-
tirely naked. They jumped about the
door as if playing, on all fours, pick
ing up something from the ground oc-.
casionally and eating it. The hunters
stood for moment speechless with
surprise atthe most singular spectacle,
and then approached nearer. They
were soon seen by the wild beings
for wild they surely were-who at
once ran swiftly off and hid in the

A MODERN CRUsoE.

Coming up to the door of the hut,
the hunters looked in. On a bench,
in the middle of the room, sat an old
man reading from large book, which
rested on his kness. His clothing was
scant and ragged, and evidently made
by himself A long, white beard
reached nearly to his waist, and, like
his hair, was matted and unkempt.
There was no furniture in the rooM,
except the bench, In one corner
some straw was scattered about, as if
for bed. The bare ground formed
the floor. Near one end of the room
hole was dug, in which there was a
fire. Over this was an iron kettle, in
which something was boiling. Every
thing betokened the most abject
wretchedness filth and dirt were on
every side.

his NUDE CHILDREN.
The old man arose when the strang-
ers came to the door. He was below
the medium height, and had sharp,
bright eye and an intelligent face. He
invited the gentlemen into his house,
aud asked them, IN polite terms, the
nature of their errand. The hunters
were at loss at first to explain, but
finally told the old man what they had
seen in the woods and about his door,
and expressed curiosity to know
who and what the strange beings
were.
The old man laughed and said:
"Those are my children, William
and MelVina-brother and sister. They
appear peculiar TO strangers, no doubt,
but Pm used to 'em. Clothes arc OF
not much account, anyhow, here in
the woods"
The old man then stepped to the
door and gave a peculiar shout. Very
soon his children were seen to emerge
from the woods and come stealthily
toward the house, gesticulatiBg and
chattering strange gibberish, aud
now and then laughing idiotically.
They came near enough to afford a
sufficient scrutiny. Both were well

girls face. although lacking any sign
ofintelligence, was not unprepossess-

sive. Their heads were small, the
foreheads sloplng far backS Long,
matted hair hung from their heads,
and their skin was nearly black with
dirt and exposure. While the strang-
ers were looking at them the boy,
with no apparent provocation, struck
/ his sister blow in the face, uttering
peculiar cry. She ran across the
clearing and the boy followed her,

Their father started after them, shout.
/ ing, "Let her alone, Bill Let her
alone, say I. 'Billn did not catch his
sister, however, and ran off in another
direction. The old man returned to
his guests, who could not repress theiI
astonishment and disgust, but solicit
ed an explanation of the extraordinary
and almost incredible scenes which
they beheld.
HISTORY OF THE FAMILY.

told them the history of himself ant
