The BaStjan Eyp0Se,

Bastian is the name of the alleged
spiritualist who was recently exposed at
Vienna. Bastian had been invited to
give a seance at the residence of the
Archduke Johann. The usual tricks
were performed early in the evening.
and Vienna dispatch to the London
Telegraph says: "The second part of
Bastian's entertainment was spiritual
istic naturalization. the grossest i'm
position practiced by members of the
medium profession. On the present oc-
casion the audience was seated in a
circle, joining hands, in dimly-lighted
room, while the medium, affecting to
be in a trance, was left in room be-
yond, the communicating door being
open and the doorway hung with cur
tain. Archduke Johann had previously
arranged things so that, by means of q
cord placed out of sight. he could, at
a given moment, close the door and cut
off the ghosts retreat. Twice the cur
tam was raised and yelled figure was
seen behind moving mysteriously to-
ward the company. The third time it
entered the inner room, when suddenly
Archduke Johann pulled the cord and
the door closed upon it. He and the
Grown Prince Rudolph then rushed to-
ward the phantom, which, after vainly
endeavoring to burst open the door,
snatched off its veil and thrust it into its
breast-pocket. A light was brought in
and the scared audience beheld no other
than Bastian himself, minus his boots,
held on one side by the crown prince
and on the other by Archduke Johann.
The exposure was greeted by burst of
laughter, during which the ghost disap-
peared.

The Chinese custom of decapitating
their enemies slain in war is explained
by the statement that they believe that
the appearance of person in the spirit
world without head is prima-facie evi-
dence of having committed some crime,
and punishment is awarded accordingly.
Hence the horrible multilations which
took place on the evacuation of Shang-
hal by the Taipings, when the imperial
officers gave orders for the decapitation
of every rebel body-and even the cof-
fins containing the remains of prominent
rebel leadersswere broken open and dis
honored to insure their punishment
hereafter Hence, also the anxiety dis
played BY the friends Of officers who
lost their heads during the rebellion to
recover them aud stitch them ON to the
bodies again, as much as f133 having
been paid by the officers of the imperial
army for the head Of friend.

The Old Fiddle.

We little know the thoughts that sweep.
Each heaving human breast,
AS on life's toilsome march they hear
The sounds they once loved best.
The cricket with his sbrili refrain,
The thrush at close of day.
The cow-bell swinging in the lane,
The beating far away;
The partridge drumming on his log,
The tree-toad in his tree.
The yellowhammer's first Spring note.
The humming of the bee;
The moaning winds, the beating rain
The sift of drifting snow;
All these are sounds that bring again
The thoughts of long ago.
But of them all, each one that brings
Some part OF life's young riddle;
While none calls back so many things
As one old, welltuned fiddle.

ON MOUNT ETNA.

Among the wondrous sights on the
earth, the volcano of Etna will always
hold just pre-eminence. Renowned by
past and present history, sublime by its
elevation, its form, and the awful Sc
crecy of unknown terrors which lie con
cealed within its bosom, the Sicilian
volcano will always be viewed with the
deepest most solemn awe.
Il was with such feelings and with
such thoughts as these, that | began to
ascend the volcano on the morning of
the 9th of May, 1849 | had left Cat
ania on the day before, in order to visit
this wonderful spot | did not wish to
glance carelessly upon it-no; for to me
there was always something reverent
something almost divine, in connection
with this great mass of upheaved lava,
which led me to look earnestly at its
rugged sides. | wished to ascend, to
view from its summit the fairest regions
on earth; to glance down, down into
those unfathomable depths, where fire,
fire in all its terror forever dwells for
ever struggles
1t was with slow steps that | as
cended the cone, after the patient and
hardy ponies had been dismissed. had
been an invalid, and the fatigue of climb
ing up the steep and rocky declivity
might well have daunted me. But after
many restings and many haltings,
was able to attain the summit.
The summit! Good heavens can |
ever forget the delirium, the transport
of joy, which the boundless prospect
there awakened within me? Canl ever
forget the glimpse which | first caught
of all the glories and all the horrors of
nature mingled together in such fearful
unison?
Far away on one side spread the fer
tile plains, the green meadows, and the
gentle valleys of Siscily. There were
streams glancing and flashing in the sun
as they wandered to the sea, with ten
thousand labyrinthian turhings; lakes
whose CLASSY surface showed not ruffie,
not ripple; there were terraces upon
the sides of hundred hills, where vine
yards were planted and where the trel-
Used vines passed along, all blooming !;
there were groves of orange-trees, amid
the dark-green foliage Of which the
golden oranges peeped forth like the
flashes OF phosphorescent light in a
sea; there were long avenues
of expresses, of acacias, of noble trees
of many kinds, amid which kingly as
semblage at times could be seen the
noble summit of some stately palm, as
it lowered on high above the others
And the seattle wide, the boundless,
the deep-blue Mediterranean-th it
spread away, on the other SIDE as far as
eye could reach, spreading away as far
as thoughts could run-glorious as

There is woman living in Detroit
who has not allowed herself to be seen
by men for many years. She lives in
her hermitage ali alone, goes to bed at
o'clock every afternoon, and gets up
at midnight to 60 out and make her
purchases. Her name is 0dell. and il
is said when girl she promised to
marry a schoolmate, but he was a Pro-
