CHANGING cLoTHING.

Many persons lose life every year by an
injudicious change of clothing, and the
principles involved need repetition almost
every year. If clothing is to be diminished
it should be done in the morning when
first dressing. Additional clothing may
be safely put on at any time. In the
Northern States the undergarments should
not be changed for those less heavy sooner
than the middle of May, for even in June
a fire is very comfortable sometimes in
New York parlors. Wooden aannels ought
to be worn next to the person by all dur
ing the whole year, but a thinner material
may be worn after the LIST Of June. a
blazing fire should he kept in every family
room until 10 o'clock in the morning, and
reklndled again an hour before shutdown
up to the frat week in June, and from the
first day of October.
Particular and tidy housekecpeIs, by ar.
ranging their 6replaces for the summer too
early oftentimes put the whole family to a
serious discomfort, and endsnger health by
exposing them to sit in chllhness several
hours every morning, waiting for the
weather to moderate, rather than to have
the fireplace or CRATE all backed up-that
is, rather than be put to the trouble of
another fixing up for the summer, they
expose the children to Group, and the old
folks to Inflammation OF the lungs. The
old and young delight in warmth. 1t is to
them the greatest luxury. Half the dis
eases of humanity would be swept from
existence if the human body were kept
comfortably warm al the time. The dis
comfort of cold feet or Of q chilly room
many have experienced to their sorrow
they make the mind peevish and fretful,
while they expose the body to colds and
the inhammations which often destroy it
in less than week. Halls Journal of

proofs that compare with those pre-
sented SO many years ago by Home. There
have been given to the world no such
tests as were applied by Professor Crookes,
while in Olcott and Blavatsky, and their
confreres, modern Spiritualism have lost
some of its most prominent advocates who
confess its unsatisfactoriness and its non.
progressive character. It is true, as cited
by Epes Sargent, that many persons in
Europe and America, distinguished in the
walks of science, philosophy, literature
and craftsmanship, have become avowed
converts, or have admitted the phenomena,
go far as to believe in q new force not
recognized by science, or have testified
that the manifestations they have wit
messed are not capable of explanation on
the ground of imposture, coincidence or
mistake or at least have considered the
subject worthy of serious attention and
careful consideration. But we are not,
therefore, to conclude that specific truth
has been revealed, or that Spiritualism
presents to us form of faith which it is
beneficial or satisfactory to embrace, or
that it is fortified by the necessary evi.
dences of verify. To our own mind these
are wholly wanting. But it does, by its
fruits, establish that however painfUl and
melancholy it is to behold the beginnings
OF disintegration in grand material struc-
lures, it is more profoundly and solemnly
melancholy to witness the beginnings of
disorganization in great mind, and these
sad spectacles Spiritualism affords in per-
haps greater number than any other form
which investigation of the supernatural
assumes.
Upon this topic, therefore, we hold,
after having witnessed during many years
all forms of spiritual manifestations, {"
and after having given dispsssionate
thought and study to the subject, that
it is safest to be skeptical, and wisest
to demand incontrovertible proofs. and
undisturbed await the development
of whatever there may be in it that we can
not readily explain. 1t is, in our view,
evidence of more rational mind to doubt
and disbelieve, than to embrace upon in
sufficient proofs and endeavor to rest upon
doctrineless and visionary beliefs, which
have as yet taught US no new duties to
ourselves, our fellows, or the future which
have not added to our joys nor plucked the
thistles from the way which promise only
unrest here, and uncertainty for the here
after

A HUmAN NIGHTINGALE.

His Majesty the King of Bavaria is pas
sionately fond of the music OF nightingales.
| One beautiful moonlight night word was
| sent to his Majesty that a nightingale was
singing in the palace gardens. He FASTENED
out, not daring to believe the report. The
silvery notes, so wonderful, rich and full,
rising, falling, thrilling and dying away like
the distant echoes of flute, were filling
the air with bewitching melody The
| King stood fascinated, entrsuced, and
would have remained in the palace grounds
the livelong night had not the bird, weary
of it's song, ceased its music. After
waiting IN vain for it to begin again the
| King retired. The next night he went
into the garden. but was doomed to dis
appointment. The bird was silent. The
| third night he was more fortunate. The
nightingale warbled sweeter and louder
than ever, and the King was in
rapture. Then for three nights it failed to
be heard, and it was thought that the bird
must have died or flown away to warmer
skies. The king, In despair, offered heavy
rewards for its return. but the most dill.
gent search failed to find it. On the seventh
night it came agaiD, and continued its
sorgs, to the kings great delight, fer two
or three nights. Then it ceased, and the
king waited long and anxioasly for it many
nights after. Aud then, in some mysteri-
Gus manner, it came to the kings ears that
he had been imposed upsn; that the night
ingsle which had sung to him so sweetly,
and given him so much delight for so many
moonlight evenings, was SIX feet high,
wearing spiked military hat and SOL
dier's uniform, who had learned the notes
of these warblers so perfectly that it was
difficult to detect tie song OF the real bird
from the imitation. There was a tornado
in the kings household when his wrath
broke FORTH aud that night the nightin-
gale was dieting on bread and water in a
cell.
