THE TENTH STREET, sEANcEs.

In the second-story front room Of the
house at 825 North Tenth street, the cabi-
net was placed in such position that it
stood about eighteen inches from board
ed-up window. As already described,
this window was arranged in such way
that with the sash taken out there was
room tor person to stand between the
boards on the inside and the shutters on
the outside, One of the boards was ap-
parently fastened by screws, but thev
were only dummies In reality it swung
on pivots, and was held in its place by a
stout button on the inside a board in the
back Of the cabinet was similarly ar
ranged. Before the seances began Katie
King took her position in the window and
fastened herself in. The space between
the cabinet and the wall was then con-
cealed by q door, which a first glance APP
peared as part of the cabinet table
covered with musical Instruments was
showed up against it, and the guests who
were always received in downstairs
room were invited to ascend A dark seance
always opened the entertainment, during
which Kate would descend from her
perch, and making her way into the cabi-
net, take a position in her corner, where
she could not be seen when the cabinet
door was opened. MI Holmes would then
enter the cabinet, and between the two
the usual manifestations We're produced
The numerous faces shown We're nothing
but rubber masks, so made that they could
be blown up into different sizes at the
same time produce different appearances.

BE FAITHFUL man cannot afford to
be untaithful under any circumstances a
man cannot afford to be mean at any time :;
man cannot afford to do less than his
best at all times, and under all circum-
stances. No matter how wrongfully you
are placed, and no matter how unjustly
you are treated, you cannot, for your own
sake, afford to use anything but your bet
ter self, nor to render anything but your
better services; you cannot afford to cheat
oheater; you cannot lie to liar; you
cannot afford to be mean to mean man !;
you cannot afford to do other than deal
uprlghtly with any man, no matter what
eXlgencies may exist between him and
you. No man can afford to be anything
but true man, living in his higher nature
and acting from the noblest considerations.

1t was damp, cheerless day, and Percy
LennoX was sitting alone in his dismal
little sitting-room. The fire burned dimly
in a rusty CRATE, Uttered with ashes and
scraps Of paper; and chill river breeze
blew in at the open window and rustled
the leaves Of melancholy elm tree which
grew in a court without. The table was
Uttered with lot of untidy-looking manu-
scripts and small piles of cigar ashes and
the hard little horsehair sofa bore the sim
pie decoration OF bedroom pillow, not
entirely without holes, and bearing the
recent impress Of head Indeed the oc-
cupantaof the room, white and thin from
illness, and leaning back in rusty arm

to see you Very much. Harry sends his love
HELEN STUART.
Percy Lennox little knew how many
tear-blotted letters, ending more or less
afectionately. had been torn up before
That bold, curt little epistle was dispatch
ed, or what loving, womanly heart was
beating for his presence. Had ii been
otherwise, his answer might have been
different
My dear Miss Stuart: Thank you for kind
note and invitation, the latter of which, how
ever, do not feel at liberty to accep. for rea-
sons which | have no doubt yoy and your
brother will fully understand. Z am, yours
faithfully. Perry LENNoX.
Harry Stuart was q man and got Into q
passion: Helen was a woman, and under
stood. But her wisdom cost her two great
hollows under her beautiful eyes In the
end she got her own way entirely; even
Harry was coaXed to feel some compassion
for the feeble, shaky handwriting, unlik 6

LET us STRIVE.

To our readers, one and all, we wish a
Happy New Year The wish is heartily
made, but it remains for each individual to
determine, for himself, whether or not it
shall so prove. The year 1874, upon which
we enter this morning, will be of good or
evil omen as individuals may will. The
general public can only act through the
units which go TO make up the mass. If
the individual is corrupt, so must he popu-
lar action if, on the contrary, there is a
feeling of personal responsibility, if every
thought and action is right, and all is
prompted by due sense of our obligations
to ourselves and the community, then, at
the close Of the year, we shall have glori-
Gus results to record We are too ant on
this lay-the first day of new vcar-to
make noble resolves, but to what do they
amount They signify nothing. We en-
ter upon new year with high sounding
protestations, which pass from memory as
soon as made. We attempt to deceive our
selves, and may, perhaps, in measure
ohNNNNN but Ndn VIC NtCtlNt you, OF,
even, our own conscenccs ? We have GER
tain duties TO perform, and we all know it,
We all made high, noble resolves year
ago, but how many of us have lived in ac-
cordance herewith We do not intend to
venture any advice TO our readers to-day,
they are as able to advise us as we are
them. But let lis give up resolving, and
try little more striuing. We can all be
better if we try. We need an inward pu-
rification, and we have a country to save
The one work is for each of us alone, the
other is for each of us working with one
another If we work for this, if we strive
for this, if we accomplish this, it is far bet
ter and higher than protestations or resolv-
ings. Let us try it for one year and mark
the result.
