has subducd three large districts in cen.

An European War while thus making such
progress in extending his Empire. Kash'

CAN THE DEAD HEARa
BY EDEN E. RExPoRD.

Do the dead hear us whenever we calf
Answer me, darling, il You can hear,
Under the grass that covers you over,
kack with the new life OF the year.
Answer, darling-l long to know.
Often you told ME II yoI were dead,
And lying under the sods and daisies,
You would answer the words said.
Speak 10 me, love, and tell me now
All the secrets OF death and life;
Are you cold, with the grass growing over,
Aud shutting YOU safely away from strife
Are You lonely darlingf Ipray you speak,
II lying so low, my words you hear.
Does your dead heart yearn Tor the dear old
voicesg
DO you know, my darling, that ! am nearl
You do not answer. | half believe,
That the dead hear never the livng's call;
Folded about with rest and quiet,
They sleep MS the flowers sleep in fiji
When the spring OF new life shall come,
They will hear us and heed us, no longer
dumb.

evaporated. The new lady's dress
was brown, summary tex
ture, that looked as though j. might have
been made on a material loom. DR.. New
brough said to the ghost: "Kind lady,
have a pair Of remarkably sharp scissors
in my pocket; will you oblige me by al.
lowing inc to clip souvenir from your
robe !" The beautiful being smiled on
him graciously, but answered Nothing
to wear. My medium has but the one
gown. If you cut a piece out, there will
be hole in il, and she will DC entirely
destitute. "But, persisted the
doctor, IL will see that she
has money to buy another gown"
"Ah, my dear sir, sadly answered the
beautiful spirit, perhaps you would, but
| do not know it; for Mr.. Geutt was here
and DR.. Storer, of Boston, was here, and
they both, and many others, said that
they would do something to relieve the
poverty of our medium, but they have
not, and can not let you cut a piece out
and make hole in her only gown.
After the beautiful lady stepped away,
and alter six.foot tall ghost had come
and gone, and no more ghosts would be
evoked. DR.. Ncwbrough again inspected
the cabinet. There sat the homely and
motherly Mrs. CrOmpton, with the waxed
ends all rigidly fast, and her alpaca dress
nailed to the floor again, the fine little
nails being with almost perfect exactness
driven into the holes they had previously
occupied.
Mrs. Compton has lately been assisted
by the Overseer of the poor of the county,
for these changes to which her body has
been subj ct during two years have ru.
ined her health, and in addition to being
unable to work, the reputation of being
possessed by spirits has deprived her of
her former employers The people Of
the town say nothing against her, except
that she is sOrcereSs. The little chill
dren had mended their clothes with yarn
and with Irvine, or with whatever they
could get. A mortgage on their house,
added to other obligations, harrassed
them with debts amounting TO nearly
three hundred dollars, and the prospect
Of the county poor house for more per-
maneni home.
DIR. Newbrolgb announced that he
raised $3.50 for the poor family before he
left Havana, and from the spiritist meet
ing yesterday morning in Republican
Hall, $50. One Of his heaters asked
whether the persons in Havana who con-
tributed the $3.50 we're miides, spiritual
lists or Christians He answered that
they were two infdelS, one spiritist and
himself. Three or four ladies passed
among the audience and collected S62.
A pillar OF the society suggested that
this collection and all others should be
intrusted, not TO the solicitor, but to the
treasurer Of the society, in a regular way.
This suggestion was hooted by the audi
ence, who seemed to be familiar with DR..
Newbrough, and on being put TO vote
was almost unanimously voted down.
Money has been now raised to nearly the
amount of Mrs. COmpton's debts.
