Ny friend, Rev. DR.. Joseph F. Jones
of Philadelphia, q translated spirit now,
wrote book entitled, MAN. Moral and
Physical, - in which he shows how diff
ferent the same things may appear 20
different people. He says: "After the
great battle on the Mincio in 1859, be-
tween the French and the Sardinians
on the one side and the Austrians on
the other, so disastrous to the latter,
the defeated army retreated, followed
by the victors. 4 description of the

So, my dear brother, the road you are
travelling is the same you have been
travelling q long while, but the differ
ence in your physical conditions makes
it look different, and therefore the
two reports you have given of yourself
are as widely different as the reports in
the London Times from the two cor
respondents. Edward Payson, some

physician, for he can feel at the same
