Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Brown were having a very comfortable afterntvn together. Mrs. Smith, who was an invalid, or thought hcrseli one, which is just as bad, was rcclining in an easy chair, and Mrs. Urown, who had run in with her knittii'g work iust to see how she was, had been pcasuaded to spend the rest of the day with her friend. "Yes, Mrs. Iirown, 1 consider it providential. That poor niece of mine was left an orphan 011 the cold charities of the world, and as 1 was her only f'rieud she had, she came right here, of course.

He tore the laded calico sleeve open to the shoulder, and sure enough, the soft, white arm, was covered with blood and seemed Jo be riddled with shot. "Dear, dear, what have I done!" ho exclaimed, hastily tying his own and lie hankkerchicfs tightly around it. There' no time for apologies or explanations I thought I was shooting a partridge and in some unaccountable way I have shot you. Now tell me where you live so I can gel you home as soon as possible. I am a physician, and we'll soon have the poor arm all right-again." "My home is just over the hill: I can walk if you will help me a little." With a set, resolute face and lips tightly closed to keen back the moans of pain, Meta walked hastily towards home leaning upon his arm. Hut just as they

"Now, madam, 1 will excuse you, but let Mrs. Iirown bring me plenty of warm water and soft, old linen, and remain to assist me. And I want a servant close al hand to get whatever el.-e I may rei|tiire while dressing Unarm."

It was a teriible hour to Meta while he probed each wound and removed the shot that were deeply imbedded in 'the tender flesh. Fortunately no bone was broken, and at last it was neatly bandaged with soft linen and wet with a healing lotion, and she fell asleep. Mrs. Iirown proved an efficient helper and as they passed quietly out of the room thedoctor said: "My patient must have the best of care and attention. Could you stay and nurse her for a while?" "Yes, I might." "Very well I will pay you well if you will doit, for everything will depend upon keeping her quiet now." lie met Mrs. Smith in the hall. "Madam, this woman has consented to stay and take care of your niece, and I will see that she is paid for it. lint mind what I say you must not see her, nor must any one else see her but Mrs. Iirown and lny-ell for a week at least, for she will have a serious time of it at the best. 1 regret it exceedingly, more than I can tell you, that I have been the cause of all this suffering, and will do my best to have her about again as soon as possible." So saving, the doctor wished them good-day, and soon disappeared from tlieir view. "Well, now, if tliat isn't cool'. And what am I to do all this time'?" groaned Mrs. Smith, rocking herself vigorously in her great arm-chair. "And mv best

I think it is a very mysterious dispensation "f Providence.'' The n^t morning the doctor found Meta in a hiijh fever, moaning with pain and delirious.

linoTHKlt .IONKS:—'The stringency in the money market, and the wide-spread panic through the country, has caused a feeling of despondency among the people, and the hitherto active business ol every place lies hushed and still. There is comparatively nothing doing, and therefore plenty of time is left to review the past and contemplate the future. 1 wish to present a few f.'cts through your excellent paper, that the people may ponder the wonderful phenomena that are presented by the angels, and contemplate the glorious period ol the history of our race, when all may be taught by "the progressive intelligence they possess"

During the past Summer, I sent for Mr. Moody, the Kire Medium, to visit our city, lie gave us two exhibitions in a public hall.

He kindled a bright fire in a small furnace, and when it bad burned so as to produce live coals, lie put some of them into his mouth, and chewed them as a man would some delicious fruit. Then he heated a small bar of iron to redness, and drew it across his tongue bit a piece oil' the bar, and let it fall out of his mouth into a glass of water, when the whole audience could distinctly hear the hissing sound thus produced, "iiescton fire a stick of sealing wax, and as it melted, all ablaze, it droped into his mouth. lie then requested the audience to appoint two men for the purpose of critically investigating this singular phenomenon and lii.s mode of proceeding. Mr. Isaac Kelsey, the .sheriff of our-county, and another man, were chosen. He then filled his mouth with sulphur, and had these men to set lire to it and to demonstrate that it was actual fire, this committee lighted paper and candles hy the blaze that issued from within his mouth. He gave this committee an iron ladle and a bar of lead, ami told them to melt the lead, which they did and with a large iron spoon, they deliberately dipped this melted lead out of the ladle and filled his mouth with it. When he let the lead fall out of his mouth into the hand of Mr. Kelsey, it was so hot that he I dropped it involuntarily on the floor.

The ladle was then tilled with water, and the committee-men raised it to boiling heat. Mr. Kelsey taking the boiling liquid while the other man held alighted lamp closd to Mr. .Moody's lace, poured it into his mouth, and Mr. Ktlsev reports that he actually did swallow it.

Mr. Moody does not claim that the phenomena are produced by spirit po.ver, but leaves his audience to form their own conclusions. The facts arc presented, and if scientists

These exhibitions were not published or claimed to be spirit demonstrations, but merely wonderful phenomena which set all known laws of nature at defiance and yet, strange as it may seem, not one of the ten Professors ol Wabash College, which is located here, attended them, or attempted to investigate the principle upon which the phenomenon was pro-

This convention of wise men ignored and refused to entertain or investigate the subject.

Again, the State Association of Photographists met in Indianapolis while we had our spirit gallery there. Many of the artists of the city, and those of other places, had been charging us with practicing a humbug, or deception upon the credulity of the people, and some had sent us imitations of spirit pictures.

I sent a proposition to the association, that wo would submit to the most rigid rules of investigation, but they refused to come to our gallery, saying that we must go to one of their galleries, and with their camera and material, produce the results that we claimed to bo able to produce. They were careful never to give us an invitation naming time and place. So the angels said to us, in the language which Lord liacon attributes to Mohammed: "I! the mountain will not come to you must go to it."

you

Without any arrangement or understanding with ai.y of the artists, my s.m went to tho largest and finest gallery in the city, which was being conducted byMr. Fowler. "I have come," said my so:i, "to your gallery, that the angels may give your association the proof demanded of the truth of spirit pictures." Mr. Fowler requested him lo divest himself of coat, vest and boots, and empty his pockets, which he immediately complied with and then Mr. Fowler made a thorough search of his person for any remaining thing or substance about him, by means of which a trick or deception might be practiced and finding nothing, he prepared a plate, himself, and put it in the camera, and when he developed it, there was a line spirit face on the plate. Mr. Fowler became very much excited, and remarked that he would have testied in any court that spirit photography was a humbug, but that now he was willing to testify to its truth. We went with him to Justice Peter Smoke's office iu Indianapolis, and thereon file is Harry Fowler's oath, that there was no deception or trickery used in producing that result. My son merely stood by the camera with one hand resting 011 the top of it.

Anotiier fact of spirit power and sympathy requires a brief statement, as it has never been presented to the public. Mr. Samuel lleriou, then a citizen of Slontgomerv county, Indiana, and

A few evenings after, he felt ii hand gently pass over the fracture. 'This manipulation was repeated three evening-, and all pain and soreness left the limb, lie removed the bandages, and to his surprise, hi.s leg had ever appearance ol being well and iu less than three weeks he was doing the ordinary work of his farm, without any crutch or cane.

I have given this short sketch of the remarkable case, hoping that Mr. Herron, who now resides at Lake City, Minnesota, will give tho public a full report.

If such a demonstration of a superior power and intelligence wore to follow the labor exercises of the church in her efforts to establish the truth of her dogmas, how loudly would the fact be proclaimed from every pulpit in the land 1 visited the Tillage of liainbridge, in Putnam county, in company with Clias. Head, who gave a seance there to an audience of about three hundred persons, which caused some excitement the next dry.

Seeing a number of pconle assembled in front of a store. I walked down to leain the eau*e of the excitement. There seemed to be dill'erence of opinion about Mr. Head's performance*. Some conten.led that the manifestations which hc produced were the products of some other power than his. One gentleman remarked that it was all jugglery, the slight-oMiand,and a humbug and 10 substantiate his position, declared that the days of miricles was passed. I told him ho was mistaken if Christ told the truth, and read to him St. John's record, chap. M:13. "VcrMy, verily, I say unto you, ho that believelh on me, the works that I do shall I10 do also, and greater work than these shall he do because I go unto my Father." And also St. Mark 1(5:17, IS, "And these signs hall follow those that believe in my name shall they cast out devils. They shall speak with new tongues: they shall take up serpents and if they drink any deadly tiling, it shall not hurt them* tliev shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.''

The gentleman stopped me at that part of the text which says, "and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not bur', them," and said, bring me one of your mediums and let me give him a dose", and if I don't straighten liim out I will you a bunded Tlollars.

I telegraphed at once for Mr. Moody, who came, and after his exhibition here, I had large posters put up at Hainbridge, inviting the gentleman to come with all his friends, his poison, nnd his fifty dollars. We went, but the gentleman came not, nor did ho send his fifty dollars but like the Ephesinti silversmith whose craft was in danger from the preaching of

Paul, these people were zealous to attend a prayer meeting iu order to inform iod Almighty of the damage his cause was likely to sufler from the exhibition of this juggler. Of course they sang and cried, "(ireat is Diana of tho Ephesians!"

This vietorv is too glorious not to be known abroad. It is surprisingly strange to me. that llie.-c religionists, these zealous believers of the Iiible, reject some of its plainest teachings They have Moses and the Prophets, and Christ for their teachers, but can know or understand nothing but the history ol the past.

If Christ tatigh one idea more explicit ly than another, it was the idea of progression. He says (John lti:12, ].'!,) that he had to leave unsaid "great things," because bis hearers was not able to hear them. Hut I give the text: "I have yet many things to say unto you, bill ye can not bear them now. Howbeit, when he. the spirit ol truth, is coming, he will guide you into all truth for ho shall not speak of himself but whosoever he shall hear, that shall he speak and he will show you things to come."

These would-be followers of his, lookonly to the history of the past for their light, when he expressly declares that ho could not give his followers his most original thoughts. They could not comprehend them. AU he could do was to show them that greater thoughts there were to be grown into than they had received or seen, and keep alive iu them the forward looking spirit which would seek for truth in the future as well as in the past. lint he could not give them all that he had to give—his greater things had to be left lo the future to reveal. John 1:00, "Jesus answered and said unto him, Because 1 said unto thee, 1 saw thee under the fig-t^ee, believed lliou? Thou shall see greater things than these."

Jesus did not write his thoughts, he was to busy getting tho root of it intrinsically lived into the life of the world to write it, or to tell it all. He was living his word so that its most elementary utterences might bo trusted to unfold in human experience into all his grandest thought—was making other men sharers, not only of his thought, but also of the joyand iionor of discovering it lor tho nisei ves. Vet these religionists will not trace the progressive thought of Christ they hold themselves aloof from the reformers and enterprises of the day, until such reforms have become popular with the masses they live, work and think iu tho history of the past, ignoring the plainest teachings of the Uible they profess to follow.

We have but one course left, and that is, to present our progressive truths to such 11s have eyes to see, and ears to hi nr. Ages have rolled away since the moundbuilder sweat and

toiled to perpetuate

his namo and the progress of his day. We, as we lollow the iron girdle 011 our

locomotive with the speed of the wind,

or talk to our friends in the remotest part of the earth, or catching the form of flitting angels as they pass before the camera, arc only writing the history of the progress of our ago. Others and yet sublimer truths will yet be unfolded, and our age as far surpassed, as it surpasses that of the mound-builder.

I have opened a gallery in this place, for the purpose of taking spirit pictures, forall that may come or send photograph, at the low price of $2, for the result or will give sittings and send the results that may occur iu the five trials, for $2.

be. As the Philadelphia J'reu justly observes: "I11 the public schools a majority of both scholars and teachers are usually of the female sex, and there is no duty connected with the ofiico of director tor which an intelligent lady is not rather better fitted than the average mm, especially if the latter be a politician." Besides, America owes, to a large degree, the high standard of its general education to the schoolmistress. Schools taught by woman have long since bev 11 found to answer every purpose for which tliev were designed and it has appeared, from their results, that especially efficient are the female departments presided over by teachers of the same sex as the scholars. It is clear that if women arc amplj fitted to teach, and are, in fact, extensively employed for that purpose, they are not only fitted to share in the government of the schools, but become indespensable auxiliaries to that government. They will represent therein nn element almost predominant in the system of public education. None can judge so well of the necessities of female education, and of schools presided over by lemale teachers, as intelligent and cultured women themselves. This is, therelore, one of those cases iu which women have a definite and incontrovertible right that should be fairly conceded. Nor is Pennsylvania the only State where this fact has been recognized. It has been recognized in Illinois and is beginning to be acknowledged in Massachusettts. A number of ladies have been elected to positions connected with the public schools in this State, and four ladies of intelligence, energy, and the requisite experience, have been put forward in the wards of Boston as candidates for the School Committee. Their election will give a special representation to the sex which most needs carol'ul •supervision and a training which should not be committed to either chance or ignorance and it will be the entering wedge hy which the principle of admitting qualified women as school governors as we'll as teachers will be tested, and, being lound a successful experiment, carried out to a yet more general extent in the future.

The foot pad who springs from a dark alloy 011 the unwary traveler and deals hint a blow with a murderous bludeeon is not a greater coward than he who from the bench, the pulpit, or tho tripod attacks bis imaginary or real enemy. Tho attack- of the former are attended some risk. Occasionally they maybe repelled and the offender punished but for the cowardly attacks of the latter there is no redress. The courts give no relief, ami public opinion has raised a barrier against physical chastisement. Behind this barrier the offender skulks and spits out his venom. He is lavish iu words, but a niggard in deeds, lie will not meet you 011 even ground. Shielded from danger the cowardly slanderer deals out bis poison, lie attacks tho innocent with fiendish malignity and pursues the virtuous with a deadly hate. These attacks are seldom made by the bench or pulpit but too often by the press. Personal journalism is the" ulcer that is sapping the morals and destroying,the influence of the press. Newspapers are started hy designing villains for the express purpose of making cowardly attacks on their enemies. It is said that "Ood hates a coward," yet men tolerate thein, and sometimes so far forget themselves as to retail their slanders. These newspaper attacks are made upon the slightest pretext, and repealed with cruel regularity. A coward never forgives a real or imaginary injury. 'The friendship and devotion of years are outweighed bv a single sentence spoken in anger.

The brave man, only, knows how to forgive. It requires a strength and greatness of soul which cowards cannot comprehend. (iod speed the day when personal journalism shall be made disreputable by the verdict of an intelligent and discriminating public, and cowards can no longer shield themselves with a sheet of paper defiled by printers' ink. ..

It is true that there weremorc than double as many houseH built here last year tlinn ever before, but. with a few such organizations the number would still be greater. Where they have been tested they are said to yield a good per cent, on the amount invested. At least it would bo well enough to investigate the subject. There nre several such organizations, which have been in successful operation for a number of years, at Indianapolis, where the facts in detail can be obtained. Tho results of the working of those in Frankfort can be investigated, also, to show their practicability in a town of this size.
