MARyELs OF NATURALIZATION.


Cabinet, an
The Medium and Ddybreak, of Lon
don, gives an account OF seance which
Rev. Thomas Cooley and others hav
had with the celebrated DIR. Monck
The account relates tr.flr I.
ct have Just witnessed the mos
marvellous naturalization phenomenon
1 ever heard of or can conceive. Abou
half-past 6 o'clock this evening, DR.
Donald Kennedy, of Boston, United
States, with DIR. Monck, called upon me
to accompany them to hastily impro
vised and telegram-arranged sitting al
the house of friend near London.
"After some slate writing and othe,
tests, having half an hour still to spare,
the two ladies' of the house joined us,
and we sat for naturalization. The
back room, divided from the front by
folding doors Zone shut and curtain
partly covering the otner), formed the
cabinet, which was little needed; for
Dr. Monck, under the control OF Sam
uel, was by the light of the lamp-the
writer not being yard away from him
seen by all to be the living gate for
the extrusion OF the spirit-forms from the
realm of mind into this world of matter;
for standing forth thus plainly before us,
the psychic or spirit form was seen to
grow out Of his left side. First several
faces, one after another, OF great beauty
appeared, and, in amazement, we saw,
and as 1 was suffered to stand close up
to the medium, even touching him, L
saw most plainly, several times, a per-
feet face and form of exquisite woman
hood partially Issue from DR.. MoAck
about the region of the heart. Then,
after several attempts, Uniformed fig
ure-in a nebulous condition at first, but
growing solder as it issued from the
medium-left DIR. Monck and stood, n
separate individuality, two or three feet
off, bound to him by q slender attach
ment as of gossamer, which, mt my re-
quest, Samuel, in control, severed
with the mediums left hand; and there
stood embodied spirit-form of unut-
terable loneliness, robed in attire spirit
spun, meshy web-work from no mortal
loom, of feeciness inimitable, and of
TRANSPORTATION whiteness truly glisten-
ing.
"But Dr. Kennedy was now invited to
draw equally near and realize more close
ly with me the marvel of the separate
identity of the spirit form from the me-
dunn, and as we stood, looking with all
our soul upon the mighty fact of spirit
birth from mortal man, DIR. Monck, still
placed the lonely visitant from
the inner world between us, and, afford
ing the support each of an arm, we
advanced with our sweet spirit compan-
ion some steps farther into the room.
holding the hand of the
spirit arm that rested on mine, l felt the
wrist, palm, fingers, and inger-nails; it
was in every respect a living hand, an
swering to my touch, yielding to pressure,
having natural weight and substance,
and all things pertaining to humanity,
but it was damp and stone cold; and the
thought passed through my mind, how,
like steam, first invisible, CONCEALED,
is then seen as cloudy vapor, which, pre-
may finally take solid form in
ice, this figure at my side had, by some
what analogous process, been rendered
visible and tangible, from the vital force,
viewless and imponderable, of the me-
dunn; being, under the chemistry, not
yet understood, of the higher life, con-
gealed into the nebulous condition in
stanced of the forms first appearance,
further to solidify into the lovely crea-
ture we supported and wistfully beheld
"But, not to theorize, 1 come now to
the climax of the nights most wonderful
phenomena.
"When the form at first retired was,
as an extreme favor which might cost
the medium great prostration, permitted
to accompany it, and draw near with it
slowly and cautiously, until came again
close up to DIR. Monck, as he, still en-
stood forth full in view of all,
waiting to receive back unto himself the
marvellous aeon, phantasm, or emanation
that we must call angel or spirit. AS it
neared him the gossamer filament again |
came into view, its attenuated and van
ishing point being, as before, toward the |
heart. BY means of this subtle cord, I |
noticed how the psychic figure seemed |
10 be sucked back into the body of the |
For like waterspout at sea
Granddaughter sand columns, such
Is have seen in Egypt, horizontal in
stead of vertical, the superior vital pow
,r of DIR. Monck seemed to absorb and |
iraw in the spirit-form, but so gradual
v that was enabled closely to watch
he process; for, leaning against and
lolding the medium, with my left arm
1t his back and my left ear and cheek to
his breast, his heart beating in most
violent and alarming way, saw him re-
,eive back the lovely birth of the invis-
BILE spheres into his very person, and,
Is gazed for the last time on the sweet
ace of the disintegrating spirit, within
hree or four inches of the features, /
marked its fair aspect, eyes, hair and
.elicate complexion, and kissed the
lainty hand as, in process of absorption,
{ dissolved, and saw the angel face dis
lppear and fade, as it was drawn, posi-
lively, into the bosom of the medium.
Iazing thus closely, with awe and
,reathless interest did 1, therefore,
watch the departure of our angel-friend,
md through the living gate and avenue
# the mediums very self, did 1, with
ceilings understandable, mark the steps of
Ter progress to regain, through the liv-
ng organism and body of DIR. Monck,
