of more consequence to me than that of
all the world beside

brey came home to the house Donald
had furnished for her, she wore a face
as bright as a rose in June. Grandpapa

on the threshold to greet her. Mamie
kissed and Rugged them both most
heartily.
1T is so nice to have you here to well

your rooms have been quite comfortable?
And grandpapa has had his dinners just
as he liked them. But I mean to see

| No, my dear, no. said the old lady,
kindly; young people are better by

pretty little cottage mile or two out in
the country, where can keep a COW and
grandfather can look after the poultry.
And you must come and see us there
every day.

Mamie looked up into her husbands

Wonderful Slate Writing.
SCIENTIFIC sPIRITUALIsTs

The sitting was at private house in
Richmond on the 21st Of last mont h.
Two ladies and three gentlemen were
present, beside myself and the medium,
Mr.. Monck. A shaded candle was in
the room, giving light sufficient to see
every object on the table round which
we sat-. -Four small and common states
were on the table. Of these chose two,
and after carefully cleaning and placing
a small fragment of pencil between
them, I tied them together with strong
cord, passed around them both length
ways and crosswise, so as effectually to
prevent the states from moving on each
other. then laid them fiat on the ia.
BILE, without losing sight of them for an
instant. DR.. Monck placed the fingers
of both hands on them, while and
lady sitting opposite me placed our
hands on the corners of the States. From
this position our hands were never
moved, till united them to ascertain
the result. After waiting minute or
two, DR.. Monck asked me to name any
short word I wished to be written on
the slate. named the word "God."-
He then asked me to say how wished
it written. I replied ''lenthways of the
slate" then if wished it written with
large or small "g," and I chose capt.
tai &C." In very short time writing
was heard on the slate. The mediums
hands were convulsively Withdrawn,
and then myself united the cord
(which was strong silk watch guard,
lent by one of the visitors, and on open
ing the states found on the lower one
the word had asked for, written in the
manner had requested, the writing be
ing somewhat faint and labored, but
perfectly legible. The slate with the
writing on it is now in my possession.
The essential features Of this expert
ment are: That I myself cleaned and
tied up the states, that kept my hand
on them all the time, that they never
went out of my sight for moment, and
that named the word to be written and
the manner of writing it after they were
thus secured and held by me. l ask,
how are these facts to be explained, and
what Interpretation is to be placed upon
them? ALFRED r. WALLACE.

certify that Mr.. Wallace's account of
what happened is correct.

The Baby Shown to Visitors.

It is an odd fact, no baby ever did,
and no baby ever will. behave in COM
.pany. The mother always brings it in
to- the parlor where the visitor is !;
dressed in its clean dress, and its
father and its aunt come in smiling at
the same time. After the visitor has
kissed the baby and taken it on her lap,
and declared it is the dearest little thing
she ever saw, the baby's mother and
she begin to talk. Each talks about her
own baby as fast as she can rattle, and
both talk at once, apparently without
caring what the other is saying. In the
midst of the conversation the baby
throws up'' on the visitors dress. and
is suddenly handed to its mother.
The visitor smiles sickly smile and
says it makes no difference, but she is
mad. The conversation is resumed, but
presently the father winks furiously at
the mother and frowns, and clears his
throat and makes mysterious signals at
the side of the chair with his hand
The mother looks down and perceives
that some of the undergarments are
slipping off, and she snatches up the in
FAINT and flies from the room. When
she returns the child cries to go to his
father and no sooner is it settled on
his knee than it betrays an irresistible
yearning to 60 to its aunt, after which it
cries furiously because its mother won't
take it.
Then the aunt gets a piece of candy
to quiet it, and when its hands have
acquired sufficient sickness, it reach
es and mauls the visitors bonnet
Then its mother tries to show off its &C
complishments; but it utterly refuses
to make display; it is as stupid as an
owl. 1t won't mamma" or papa"
and it won't say how big it is. Its faith.
err tries to coax it to say "papa," but il
pays no attention to him. He tries
again and again, getting madden all the
time and dreadfully afraid the visitor
will think the child is dull.
At last he grabs the child by the arm
and shakes it, and yells, "why don't
you say papa as I tell you?" Then
the child screams like backyard full
of cats. The more the mother soothes
it the louder it gets, until at last the
father exclaims, "Gi' me that brat ~
and picks it up and dashes out of the
room, and is heard spanking it in the
entry. Then the visitor goes home
looking at her dress and deciding that
the end of that infant will be the gal
lows, if its characteristics are allowed
to develop fully as it grows up.

they perform their duty, for the instant
