Rev. Mr.. Long will have something
to say about Spiritualism tomorrow
night. This is topic which somehow
interests the masses and rivets their
attention when discussed, whether
they have any we'll defined opinions
or not. The Immortality Of the soul
is generally admitted. but the return
OF spirits to communicate with the
living through the medium of slate
writing and table rapping is differ
ent branch Of the subject. The query
IF man die, shall he live again?''
has been ringing through the ages,
and agitating the hearts and minds Of
men almost ever since the creation,
Taking for granted that he lives in
s)me form and can revisit earthly
scenes, is it not Inconsistent with rea-
son to suppose that inter-soul commu,
nicatiOn is dependent upon the favor.
itiSm Of a few nervous, cataleptic
persons known in common parlance as
mediums2 There is one thing Ger.
tain: Modern spiritualism, or what
might be called physical spiritualism,
has made no progress in quarter Of
century. The so-called materializa-
tions of disembodied spirits occur only
under very closely guarded conditions.
The long promised daylight materlali.
zatious have never been seen byskeptics
nor have any second hand demonstra-
tions been made public, to convince an
intelligent, truth seeking world. The
whole question could be settled by a
single test. Let some medium report
the exact status Of the Greeley expe-
ditiOn on given day, and let it be
made a matter of record in
full detail. Give for in
stance, simply the entry made to. day
or tomorrow in the journal or log
book of Lieutenant Greeley, if he is
living. Ii it corresponds, when he is
found and the original is produced the
scientific world would be bound to
acknowledge that there is something
in it. However, we do not desire to
provoke a discussion with our old and
respected friend, DR.. Watson, having
threshed that same straw over and
over years ago. Having in a spirit Of
Investigation attended many a
Seance and submitted to all the
conditions, having met face to face
the Davenport Brothers, the great
Foster and many others, and having
dared Spiritualism in its strongholds
to do its best and its worst, and never
seeing or hearing anything that an or.
dinary mesmeFist, olairvoyant or
sleight of hand performer could not
easily produce, we still deliberately
pronounce the whole business delu.
sion and snare; mental hallucinas
tiOn and vain imagining. Mr.. Longs
views may not harmonize with those,
as no intimstion has been given out,
and will be awaited with interest.

It is considered always proper and
commendable to advise young peor
pie to read and study history. When
you see boy pouring over Sinbad or
Aladdin, or . girl devouring the last
new novel. you can make them un-
comfortable, and flatter your own
sense Of self-importance and superior
i!y. by telling them to throw away
that trash ana read history. True, thev
have been given the same advice
before, they have heard it repeated
over and over. and they feel sense
of eu;lt in not acting on it at once.
and forever throwing away their per
nicious light reading which makes
them unhappy. Still. the tale and
the novel are so interesting, the situa-
tons So thrilling and the heroes and
hsroines so, courageous and noble,
that they follow them to the close
and then get other books of the same
kind and pursue them with the same
earnestness and zeal. leaving your al.
vice unheeded. Then you should
ask yourself in an inquiring tone. in
which regret and egOtism are blend
ed, why it is that the youth of the
present day will not read history? 1t
is not necessary that you should
know anything of history yourself to
ask this question or give this advice
not at all-if it were. very few
would be in position to SO advise or
inquire, for in reality history is one
of those branches of learning which
is much more generally commended
than studied, and always has been.
The majority of those whe pass for
fairly educated people know little
more of its lessons than they do of the
| mysteries of the Rosicrucians, and of
those who have skinned over a few
pages of q volume or two purporting
to be history, the knowledge they
have thus acquired is of no more
practical value than the pYoverbial
fifth wheel of the coach. 1t is not
our intention to decry the study of
history, if we really have anything
worthy of the name. We recognize
it AS one of the ornamC ntal ranches
necessary to a finished education"
But what is its comparative practical
value? To what real account can
one young man in a million turn his
knowledge of Pompey's battles.
C9sar's cOnquests, the ,riumphs OF
Alexander. or the brilliant victories
of Maple on, admitting that he is
familiar with all that has ever been
written concerning them? What
lessons of practical wisdom can the
girl derive from studying the lives Of
Dido, Cleopatra. Elizatbeh or Cath
crime, as they are represented by thu
ancient or modern historian? W,
do not spprehend any danger from
too mnch attention being given t.
this branch of study by the youth O
either Sex, whether it is as the eide
Walpole thought. nothing but lies.
or as Macaulay defined it, "philoso
ply teaching by example" 1t is {
great deal more extolled than read
and much more commended thai
studied, and it is likely SO to con
tinue.
