SPIRITUAL NATURALIZATION.
A Chance to Make $5, 900,

The Banner Of Life a spiritualist paper
published at Boston says: DR.. e. P. Miller
a wellknown medical gentleman of New
York City, has had much experience with
the Eddys at Chittenden, VT, apd has
avowed his conversion to the belief that
spirits can not only manifest themselves by
moving physical bodies, but that they
have the power to materialize SO as to
assume such physical forms as are seen
and heard, felt and recognized by their
friends.
In recent number of the New York
Graphic, he says he is willing to stake his
reputation and fortune ON the genuineness
Of the Eddy mediums. and issues the follow
ing challenge: g Il will put up So, 900 into
the hands of George Francis Train, who is
is skeptic of all forms of spiritual mani
festations, or into those Of Elder Frederic
Evans, who believes in nearly every form
of it, or into the hands of Peter Cooper, who
believes in the Christian phase of it, but
not in the other; or in the hands Of any
honest person who may be agreed upon.
He shall put $1,000 into the hands of the
same person. A jury of six gentlemen and
six ladies shall be chosen to test this med
ium, (Mrs. Huntoon, a sister of the Eddy
boys.) She will exhibit in their presence
many of the different phases Of spiritual
manifestations, including naturalization,
and If majority Of this committee decides
that her manifestations are produced by
by personation OF the medium
by means ofmasks and secreted wardrebes
showing her to be fraud, the money shall
be his if they do not do this, the money
shall be mine"

sNoBBIsH POOR MEN.
How They Treat Their Friends, and
How They Treat Their Wives.

g Jay Carlton q. c. Goldsmith) in New
York correspondence to the DaDbury Neaos,
says Your squib asking for good FIVE
cent cigar is going the rounds Of the press.
The truth is that you can buy right here
in New York very fair cigar, by the box
for five cents. In one or two of the cheap
French restaurants there is a revival of the
old fashioned, five-cent cheroot, cut at both
ends. It is a good cigar, though it is neces-
sarily small. One reason why there are SO
few good cheap cigars, is that so many
poor ones are purchased by transient buy
ers. Even in booths and bar rooms, where
there is a regular custom, the transient
buyer is served from the case, while an
extra box is saved fol the fayorites. At
ferry and railroad booths the very worst
cigars are kept and you know what 6 a
bar-room cigar" is. The ten-cent cigars
on regular sale costs the retail dealers from
four to five cents usually four. The fif-
teen-cent cigars cost them seven or eight.
There are stores where there is much SELL
ing of cigars to customers who bay by the
box; for instance; Acker, Merrall, and
Condits; but the cigars are by no means
cheap. There are others where you can
buy cheap ones, as said. But such places
are not plenty. Another reason for the
prevalence of bad cheap cigars is that men
are too snobbish to buy cheap ones. tis
in this city, at least, considered quite mean
to ask your companion to take ten-cent
cigar. If the dealer hands out ten-cent
ones, you must say, 80, give us something
good" This shows that you are made of
money. Your wife, meanwhile, would con-
slider it an item of great extravaganza if
she bought ten cents worth of candy every
day, and while you are urging your friend
to take twenty-cent cigar, as if you didn't
smoke stale old corn cob pipe with nigger-
head tobacco when you come home, your
wife is sitting in the kitchen putting three
cent patch in the seat of your pantaloons,
Ind lunching on soda crackers from closet
shelf. Nothing pains me more than to see
! heavy luncher take his wife for the first
lime into restaurant, and in big, high |
'oned manner order sweet breads, mush- |
'ooms, and soft-shell crab," and to hear
he poor little woman say, Charley, what |

give woman for showing her shape in a
oinch-back dress. In this life she has SO /
title else to show.

POETRY.
THE AUTUMN OF THE WORLD.

The last wan petals leave the rose,
The latest swallows plume for flight,
The summers gone where no one knows,
With dead mems love and spent years light,
AND warm hearts buried out of sight,
Red roses are the crown of yonth;
The warm light strikes on lovers lips,
Laugh though, and fondle happy mouth,
And yet, remember. sweet time slips,
Death hurries on with full eclipse.
So short, go sad! o, let not death
Find only faded flowers and wine
When hungry for the joyous breath
That dreams not of the years decline,
he lays his cold white mouth to thine!
Chng to the flying hours and yet
Let one pure hope, one great desire,
Like song on dying lips be set,
That ere we fall in scat tered fire,
Our hopes may lift the worlds heart higher.
Here in the autumn month of Time,
Before the great new year can break,
Some little way our feet should climb.
Some little mark our words should make
For liberty and manhoods sake
Clear brain and sympathetic heart,
spirit on flame with love for Man,
Hand swift to labor-slow to part,
If any good since time began,
The soul can fashion, such souls can.
And so when We are dead and past
The undSing world will some day reach
Its glorious hour Of dawn at last,
And we across rTjma1O s,nl,,r hoo,b
May smile one moment. each to each

A rustic hanging basket suspended from
the arch of a bay window is pretty sight.
The rustic affect is produced by prongs of
wood nailed to bowl. The basket should
be hung just high enough to smartly catch

nailed on, will do more to advance knowl-
edge of astronomy in family than all the

At CHESS.

Above checkered table they bent
man in his prime and a maiden fair
Over whose polished and bluc yeined brow
Rested no shadowy tinge of care,
Her eyes were fountains of sapphire light
Her lips wore the curves of cheerful thought;
And into her gestures and into her smile,
Grace and beauty their spell had fraught.
Above the checkered table they bent,
Watching the pieces, red and white.
Aa each moved on, in appointed course,
Through the mimic battles steady fight
Thequeen In her stately, regal power:
The king, to her person friendly shield;
The mitred bishop, with his support,
And the massive castle across the field
The pawn, in his slow and cautions pace,
A step at time; and the mounted knight,
Vaulting, as gallant horseman of old,
To the right and left, and left and righ,.
But asingle word the silence broke,
AS they cleared aside the ruin and wreck
OF the battles havoc; and that word
Was the little monosyllable "check!"
Pawns, and bishops and castles, and knights,
Trembed together in sad dismay,
While pair of hearts were pulsing beside
To deeper, wilder, sweeter play.
Yet the gaze oil each-the man and the maid
On the board was fastened for turn of fate,
When she archly whispered, with radiant glance
And sparkling smile, 'lf you please, sir,
mate n
And gently her futtering triumph-hand,
As white as fake of purest pearl,
She laid on the crown of her victor-king,
While the other toyed with wanton curl.
He lifted the first to his smiling lips,
And on it imprinted a trembling kiss;
And he murmured softly, II should not care
For losing the game. could win but this !"
What the maiden answered 'twere treason to tell
AS her bushes deepened to crimson glow,
Mounting, like lightning flashes quick,
Till they burned on cheeks and ears. and brow.
And in three months time the church-belIs rang,
And the parson finished the game begun
When both wore the conqueror's triumph-smile
And both were happy for both had won.

And didn't you always growl dear.

And clothes enough to wear,
They'll last till you get work, dear,
And what more need we care?

And drive sad thoughts away;
There's no such thing as tomorrow,
When it comes it will be to-day.
Let NE smooth out your forehead,
And kiss away that frown;
