MRS. sEARLEs A SPIRITUALITY
She Asked the Ghosts What She Should
Give Her Son Tim.


New York Sun.
The contest of the will of Mrs. Hopkins
Searles by her adopted son, Timothy Hop
kins. will apparently turn chiefly on the
extremely interesting question whether
and how far belief in spiritualism is evil
dence of an unsound mind. It is stated
that the lady, soon after her husbands
death, became intensely eager to establish
communication with the spirit world, and
to gain some light about the lite beyond
the grave. An obliging young son of her
family physician, DR.. Crook, qualified him
self as a medium simply to crafty this
natural and laudable desire, and from that
time till her death Mrs. Hopkins-Searles
was devout and credulous spiritualist.
The story of one seance, in particular, is
told by young Crook with naive frank
ness that is, to say the least, unusual. Mr.
and Mrs. Searles, Timothy Hopkins and
young Crook were sitting round the table,
when she suddenly asked the spirit of the
deceased Mr.. Hopkins whether or not she
should give deed of her house at Menlo
Park to her son Timothy. Searles tried to
hold the table down, while Crook, from
motives of his own that he does not con-
ceal, tried to make it dip. lit then be-
came a question of muscle" says the
sprightlv medium, between Searles and
myself; the table dlppeO, ana the ueeu
was signed and delivered.
Such a method of disposing Of ones
property is certainly not commendable;
but if the story is true, it only proves that
Searles and Crook were honorable men IN
the sense that Brutus was called honorable
by Mark Antony. 1t certainly does not
prove that Mrs. Hopkins-Searles was in
sane, unless every foolish woman or old
farmer who is buncoed is insane. In the
case of a lady who was lately released
from an asylum near New York, it was
held that belief in spiritualism was not
conclusive proof of insanity, and such
seems to be common sense as well as good
law. But belief in spiritualism unques-
tionably makes the believer an easy prey
to spiritualistic imposters; 1t shows that
in certain conditions that persons -judg-
ment and senses are not TO be trusted, and
it might very properly invalidate any gift
or deed of property executed in such con-
ditions, especially any deed or will in the
interest of fellow spiritualist. But 1t
will be curious to watch the evidence in
court and see exactly what part Timothy
Hopkins took in these proceedings, and
whether he can retain the house at MEMO
Park, if his mother by adoption gave it
him because young Crook tipped the table,
and at the same time defeat her will, If it
appear that she signed it because at an
other time the table was tipped by some
one else.

took the poor. miserable, repulsive child
up in his arms and kissed it.
1t was the divine compassion and hu-
mainly taught by Christ and enforced by
His example that in this blessed moment
ruled Hawthorne's delicate spirit, and that
impulsIve yielding to fine pity for q
dolorous child stretching out its arms to
him is proof that whether Hawthorne was
professor of religion or not, he was by
the instructive, natural nobility of his soul
man of Christian feeling and sympathy
for the helpless and the forlorn. His books
do not prove him Christian, for his ar
tistic genius was equal to fitting an angels
wings and radiance to the devil that turks
in every mans nature, but that simple act
of his in the English almshouse proved
him genuine Christian gentleman in the
irrepressible compassion and kindness of
his spirit.

A SONG OF THE YEAR.

Spring smiles through her tears, and the crocu.
And primrose shy petals unfold;
Summer beams on the glad earth, and straight
way
The meads are a carpet of gold.
Spring is gay with sweet song and fair promise
The lamb and the flower aud the bee,
And each young soul exulting rejoices-
The world is for mel is for me!
Not rose on the midsummer hedgerows,
Nor billOw OF poisoning grass,
But is rich in the fugitive rapture
OF pleasures which quicken and pass.
When June along hillside and streamside
Trips lightly on virginia. feet,
And the woodlands re-echo with voices,
Proclaiming that Summer is sweet.
Yes, sweet are the opulent Summer
And statlier Autumn TO come;
Royal Autumn in gold and in purple,
Though all the gay songtide be dumb.
But we know, with a mournful provision,
Mid the wealth and the glare and the heat,
That the sweet OF the year has departed
Far, lar upon vanishing feet.
Autumn fades into passionless Winter,
Dead grasses and skeleton trees,
Dark mists and chill rains of December,
Black snow clouds and waters that freeze
Yet through all the worlds ruin and sadness
Our hearts leap within us and sing,
knowing, hid IN no distant tomorrow,
Once more q sure presage of Spring.

A TRUE EVANGELIST.

When Phillips Brooks, the famous Boston
preacher, was consecrated on the 18th inst
bishop of Massachusetts, Bishop Potter, of
the Protestant Episcopal church, said
He who has endowed you with many excep-
tional gifts has given you one, think which is
best among them all 1t is not learning, nor
eloquence, nor generosity, nor insight, nor the
tidal rush of imprisoned feeling which will
most etectuaily turn the dark places in mems
hearts 10 light. but that enkindliug and trans.
forming temper which forever sees in humanity
no, that which is bad and hateful. but that
which is lovable aud improbable, which can
both discern and efiectually speak of that nohler
longing OF the soul, which is the indestructible
image OF Its Maker. IL is this this enduring
belief in the redeemable qualities of the vilest
manhood-whtch is the most potent spell in the
ministry OF Christ, and which, as il seems to me
you have never for an instant lost out of yoursl
Those words do simple Justice to
Phillips Brooks, who hits the nail exactly
on the head when he emphasizes what is
important in Christianity, and with tender
eloquence points that Christ saw the best
in all men as they revealed themselves TO
Him; that there IS in every man some
thing greater than he dreams, and when
man gives himself in conservation to Jesus
shines like star" These ideas, given
warmly and earnestly by preachers like
Bishop Brooks are what influence the ma
jority of men for good far more than mere
pedantic, doctrinal or con troversial pulpit
discourse.
The world is made sickly, silly or self
content by the preachers of the Beecher or
the Talmage school; made sour by the
ironclad theologians; made tiippant or lr-
reverent by the Ingersoils, hut is made bet
ter by such man as Phillips Brooks, who
is not higot. not theologian. not
charlatan, or clerical Roscius; nothing
but a great-hearted. simple, sincere
evangelist, honestly and humbly trying to
think, utter and live Christ's thoughts after
Him. Bishop Brooks has always from his
pulpit addressed himself To the needs of
human life; the worship of the spirit of
Christ rather than of the traditions en-
bodied in the very imperfect fathers Of the
church. This gospel of the tenderness of
Christ, rather than the theology Of the
ecclesiastical church, bears fruit in all
great souls. whether within or without de-
nominational religion, and is one of the
tests, and no mean one, of 4 genuine
Christian spirit.
II is told Of Nathaniel Hawthorne that
in his search for glimpses of English pow
erty he once visited a London almshouse
lie Was Unexpectedly and most unwiu-
ingly made the object of demonstrative at
tention by poor, scrofu!ous, repuIsive
child. Nothing he had done had attracted
the child. only what he was. and so moved

social obligations . that are part of GER
tain kinds of public duties and dig
mites, and these should be taken into con-
sideration in fixing the salary. fish
warden might work more days in the
year than governor. but that is no rea-
son why governor should be paid beg
carly salary. Honorable and dignified
public Office should have a salary attached
to it somewhere nearly commensurate
with its civic and social Importance. In
the case OF the judiciary, where it is de-
sirable to keep good judges for long term
of years upon the bench, it is unjust to
expect the best men to surrender the
chances of lifetime for salary that ad-
mits of no provision for old age, accident
or intirmity.
The Seattle post-intelligencer. [volume] (Seattle, Wash. Terr. [Wash.]) 1888-1914, 1891-10-26

A Fairhaven correspondent the other
day inquired whether the federal consti-
tuition expressly proclaims the existence of
God. The vast majority of the trainers of
the constitution were not only devout be-
levers in the existence of God, but were
members Of orthodox Christian churches
and some OF them clergymen, but they did
not think the constitution of the United
States the proper place for the insertion of
system OF theology, or even an article of
religious belief, however simple, because
1.-THE function of constitution is to define
and limit the powers of the various de-
partments of the government, not to de-
clare the religious belief of the people
who constitute that government"
For this reason the founders of
the constitution of great state
without a church, without a king or
bishop, declined to incorporate in the fed
eral constitution declaration of belief in
the Bible, or in Christ, or in God.
That this deliberate omission was not
made in the spirit of irreligion is clear, for
Washington was religious man who had
faith in God, even as did Franklin, who in
17S9 reminded the first congress that it
should not forget to invoke the favor of
"the Father of Lights" and declared that
God governs in the affairs of men.

Only the workingmen Shut Out.
Chicago Tribune.

The Chicago Herald calls attention to
the fact that the pretended closed Sunday
at the Philadelphia exposition was sham.
1t says:
The exhibition WAS indeed apparently closed
and it was actually closed TO the common peo-
pie. But it was open by official consent and
connivance 10 officials and their families and
friends. So well known was this fact IN
Philadelphia that the thoughtful who, out of
mistaken belief, had favored the closed sunday,
freely declared thai ii another exhibition were
held there it should be open 10 all the people.
There is no doubt that our contemporary
is correct in its statement. 1t is generally
admitted that thousands of the persons
named enjoyed nice, quiet inspection of
everything within the gates on Sunday,
but the artisans were locked out.
