FAREWELL!

Farewell! It is no solemn word,
Nor half so sad to speak once it seemed:
shall pass on forgetting that Of thea
leer have foudly. pAssonately dreamed.
Farewell! How lightly falls the word
That once thought held bitterness untold!
The lip that breathes it qalvers not for all:
The hearts devotion has grown strangely cold.
Farewell goodbye! Our star hts softly get,
And separate paths our feet shall journey long;
Yet BY aud by, I.erchance, may come space
OF life, for each, that mcrges into song.
Farewell! How 6oon the heart forgets
When once the spirit 'Hakens from ita spel1!
How soon the fervor Of Lovc'a young dream uxnei
When lips smiling utter u a''Fareuell.r ~

Divine Father was brought into our natures
Thus those who had most intimately cultivate,
the acquaintance Of the so-called dead lived Ii
the world In peace and happiness and mora
beauty.
The vision of the hereafter unfoldei by spir-
itualism was such as to give present happiness
In the prospect of what We shall be. He haa
seen spirit, and his own mother had stool be.
hind his chair and shaken his hand. The ig.
noiant and wret ched, and those who In this
world were retro2radlDg, would eventually
turn from thIr evil ways; and when placed un-
der proper conditions for advancement, they
would at length become pure and happy, 50
that not one soul would be forever lost or shut
out from the moral and intellectual happiness
Of the higher spirit-spheres.
Now, said the doctor, il old theology was
True forty years ago, 1t Is true now, and why
not preach II? IL must be evident tn US all, that
tlie clergy like other sensibls people, see the
error, and are changing with the spirit of the
age. They are now beginning to teach, that

thought that Spiritualism had done much to
change public opinion. That the society had
no cause TO be discouraged. That 1t had made
iiself felt very sensibly in this community, and
SO lar as he understood the doctrine of spirit
uaiisin, 1t was calculated TO make persons bet
ter and happier here and hereafter.
On motion UfM Mr.. Smith, it was resolved TO
engage music for the society. 1t was also de-
elded to open the Hall ON Sundays from 10 to
IL O'Clock, as reading room, and supply ii
with spiritual books and papers for the use of
all well disposed persons free of charge

Not long since, during religious revival moi
far from -Vlneland, public confessions Of
wrongs were being made in the church, by pro-
.esslng christians whose consclences were troub-
ling them. Among others an elderly brother,
who had grown rich keeping the town grocery
store, confessed "that some years before he had
cheated fellow towDsman, by selling him a
bag of clover seed which he knew to be worth
less. Cheated in purchasing himself. he yield
ed to the temptation to cheat in selling It as q
good article. The man lie had wronged was
In the congregation, and he desired to publicly
ask his forgiveness" The next day, to hi.
surprise, suit for damages was brought againsl
him; mis- own confession convicted him, and he
paid for his repentance the sum Of S125 with
interest for the time sihce the wrong was per
petrated.

HIS PRlcE.-It would not be pleasant TO be-
lieve that any man would sell himself SO cheap
ly as indicated in the following story which the
Syracuse Courier tells: "a gentleman of Au-
burn, noted for his strong opposition To card
playing particularly, few months since pur-
chased a grocery IN that city for the purpose of
carrying on the grocery business. The stock
included variety Of dry goods. fancy articles,
&c., among which was q stock of playing cards.
The new merchant, however, never happened
TO see the cards until q few days ago, when one
pack became undone, and one of the face cards
became exposed to view, and he saw 1t. He
took the pack and started for the stove, when
one of the clerks said: "What are you going to
do with those cards ?" The reply was, AIM
going to burn them up" The clerk responded
that he had better burn up all there was, and
not simply one pack. "Why, how many are
theres" the merchant asked. Five or six dol
lars WORTH" was the reply. The proprietor
looked back at the showcase, then at the pack
In his hand, and, after pondering the question
moment, said, 81 guess III put these back, !"
and cards will continue TO be sold as hereto
fore.

PRAYER AND DELlvERANCE.--A home
bound vessel was overtaken by terrific storm.
She was so severely injured that little hope of
safety was left. All hands were engaged at tho
pumps, but the water gained OH them slowly
and surely. The captain bade them prepare
for the worst, which must come upon then,.-
The mate was wild, careless young man, but
now lie was efiectually sobered. He was walk
ing the deck with an anxious brow every few
moments taking out his watch to see the time
Of day.
ave are lost" said the captain to him; "the
vessel can't live much longer In such gale"
But still the young man paid little heed to
him, examining his watch oftener and more
anxiously. AT last he gave glad shout as he
cried, ave are safe! We cannot now be lostp'
On being asked the reason for his unaccount-
able behaviour, he replied with enthusiasm,
alt is my fathers hour OF prayer. He is pray
ing 10 God now for ne. The vessel can never
sink while my fathers prayers are going up to
heaven"
The despairing crew caught fresh courage
from his words, and redoubled their efforts, and
so were able TO keep aaoat until the storm
ceased, when they made sail and came into
port.

OAKEY HALLS DAUaHrERs.-The Hon

OAKEY HALLS DAUGHTERS. The Home
Journal says Ex-Mayor Hall of New
York, is blessed with five daughters, and is
having each educated in some special pur.
suit, that she may thus be guarded against
the vicissitudes of fortune. One Of the
daughters is designer and etcher, having
learned all the details of wood engraving ut
the Cooper Institute: Her designs for books
apd some Of Frank Leslie's publications are
much admired Another daughter is writ
er of children's books, as well as an accom-
plished pianist. A third is receiving special
training for the lyric stage, possessing full,
round and sweet chest voice. Another il al.
ready distinguished as a sombrette and char-
acter in private circles, while the fifth Is
perfecting herself as mo1iste and milliner.
These respective pursuits will perhaps never
be utilized while Mr.. Hall enjoys so large
and lucrative practice as at present, bat it
must be comfort to him and his family to
know that, if ever occasion arises, there are
occupations open to the daughters beyond
the usual forced and precarious ones of gov
ernesses, companions. de-
1T would be better for the world and the
people who inhabit it, if all daughters were
thus educated. There would be less desti-
faHn eS fRd eIsyur ESr ard lin fsS csma s IF h 81
to do it. IF not required to follow any pur-
suit or trade, no harm, certainly, could
arise; but if obliged to depend on ones own
resources, daughter thus educated would
be placed in fortuna te position compared
to those who are not skilled in any industrial
pursuit.

A terrible tragedy is reported to have occurred
In Smoky Valley, Nevada. Christopher Reck-

Osierhaus went to Reckstein's house, and, being
unable to gain admission, broke open the door,

A NICE LITTLE TALE.-Nicholas 1. was
very fond of masquerade balls, and one
night appeared at one in the character of
the devil, with grinning face, horns, and
tail, and appeared to enjoy his character
very much. About o'clock in the morn
ing he went out, and throwing over him
some furs, he called coachman and order
ed him to take him to the Quay Anglais. -
As it was very cold he fell asleep; he found
that the man had taken him in the wrong
direction, for the Quay Angais is one of tho
most elegant portions of st. Petersburg
while before him were only some miserable
houses. Nicholas began TO remonstrate.-
The coachman paid no heed to him, and
presently passing through stone gateway,
brought him to a cemetery, sand taking a
large knife from his grdle, and pointing it
to his employer $ throat, said. Give me
your money and your turs, or will kill you.
And do you give me your SOUL exclaimed
Nicholas as ne threw off his furs, and dis
closed his personifcaton of the devil. The
Russians are very superstitious, and the
coachman was so terrified that he fell sense-
less on the ground, and the emperor drove
himself back to mis- palace.
