Weresford hirri-ied to press:that was in the room, took-out a triple locked casket which hefopened, and presented to Toby, in succes­sion his purse and bis money bag... . ; ...

"Is that all you want?" asked the merchant abrutly. - *'• -

"Not all; I require something more from thy friendship." j 1

, "Speak!? "Bismherit thy son." "How?" ;;f

"Disinherit him, I say; I will, not have it said that my Mary speculated!on thy. wealth," and so saying the Quaker left • theroom.

"Xo," murmured he, "tke child is not re­sponsible far the''sins of the parent Mary shall marry the son of this man, but, possess his ill gotten riches—^-ncver 1. never!" He went down to the court yard. "My dear frieud," said he to Weresford, who stood a t the win­dow in bis dressing gown, 'T have brought back t l y mare, let me Some minutes after Toby, well mounted with his money bag before him, and other valuables jn his pocket, bade farewell to his new friend and returned heme iu a sober t ro t "I have just been .paying my wedding visit to your father, said he to' Edward, whom he found before him; we shall agree very well."

Two hours after, Weresford: came to Toby's house and took him out one side. "Worthy Quaker," said he, "my best and most amiable friend, your kindness has touched me* to the bottom of my soul. You could have dishon­ored my son, degraded me forever in ' his eyes by exposing my crimes, and mide him unhap­py by refusing your daughter's; hand, but you have preferred mercy to justice, and have ac­ted like a man of true piety | and feeling.— Believe me, your conduct has not been lost upon me. 1 will no longer have to bhftn be­fore you; take these papers and open them when l a m gone. ; Adieu my true friend; you

the papers; there were, first, orders for consid­erable sums on different bankers in the city„— Then a list containing a great number J of names, and opposite to each, figures for a great­er or less amount of money: With it there was a note in the following words:

JOAN ,QF,-ARC.—The pensive and beauty of Joan, while it attracted the attention of men, repelled familiarity. Several, neverthe­less, pleased with her grace and majesty, soli­cited her hand from her parents. She persever­ed in remaining single and i'ree,2ppssib!y through some obscure presentiment waich warned her that she would one day-have to give birth, not to-a family, but a kingdom.] One of the sui­tors,'most violent had the boldness to claim her love as of right, swe'armg before a cocirt of justice that she was'betrothed to him: The poor girl.abashed but.indignant, appeared be­fore the Judges at Toul,.and contradicted by oath this calumny of passion. The Judges saw through the"plot; and sent her borne free. \.

' "While her beauty thus eharmcdNtbe eye, the composure of her face, the thoughtfuluess of. her features, the solitude and, silence., of-hj?r life astonished her father, her mother and her brothers. She possesscdyjuly the grace tmd at­tractions of her sex—she had none of its weak­ness. Her face exhibited neither her feelings nor the emotions of her heart Its expression concentrated in her eyes, seemed rather'that of meditation than'of feeling, yet she was com­passionate and tender, but her pity and ten­derness extended . to something greater and more distant than her immediate horizon. She prayed unceasingly, spoke' little, and avoided the company ;of her equals in age.- She gener­ally retired alone, and plied her needle in a.se­cluded, nook under a hedge-behind the house, from which she'could'only see the blue sky, the tower of the church, and the distant crest of the mountains. She seemed to hear voices within her which the noise of the world would havo stilled. • . , . . - ; ;,-/ :...'

She was scarcely 8 years of age when these' signs of inspiration began to appear in her. In this she resembled thcSybils of old, market from their infancy with the fatal seal of sadness, beau­ty and solitude, among the daughters of men-instruments, of inspiration reserved for oracles,, and to whom every other employment of mii&i was prohibited. She loved everything that suf­fered; particularly animals—4hosc intelligent be­ings gifted' with Jove for us, but deprived .of words to convey their .feelings, j Her compan­ions say that she was mild and merciful to birds. • She considered"them its creatures; condemned' by God to live-near men, in a i state/of t^rahsit tion between soul and matter, and bavirig- ia their nature nothing as yet complete but the., painful faculties of suffering andilove. All that was melancholy and indefinite in the sounds of nature attracted; and absorbed,her.. '*She>was so" fond of the sound, of bells,"l.s.ays thdifld chro­nicler, "that ' she! ^promised' the ringer hanks "of. wool for:the autumirgathering1 if he would sound the.

have my horse."-y why? As I view the subject, it is not as some assert, because the public Imindjs not prepared to receive it, its-peeuiior characteristics are its bitterest!.foes—the' main parrieY'to its' speedy and universal triumph. As Americans -we are proverbial for gi'v'mg credence to every thing that bears the phase of plausibility. The rise and progress of the order pf Free Masons, Odd Fellows, Sons of Temperence and Know Noth­ings, the advent of the Sweedish Nightingale, the debut of a Kossuth, the brilliant career of which attracted attention, drew forth-comment datious, and like flaming meteors illumed the public mind, together with numerous other in­stances, all have a tendency to prove that to enlist a large majority of the American people in any plausible cause, it is not indispensibly necessary to.go through with the regular ad­vances of a military seige. Tp what then is the tardiness of the. movement attributable?—

' Why is not "trembling Orthodoxy and sacri-Jigious skepticism razed to the ground—buried in oblivion and-the combined efforts of the press enhsted in its behalf j Such most certain-, ly is not the case, and although I am' no pro-jihet or the son of a prophet, yet 1 venture to say it will not soon be the case. But let us reason ,a little—let us weigh; the matter in the balance of pubhc opinion land see if perchance we may not be able to detect some incpnsist ences and absurdities that, serve to shackle its infant limbs and reuder futile every considera­ble effort at progress. • -•• |

The Bible h generably admitted to be the standard of most religiois denominations.-— Many eminent writers have written upon i t us for instance, Judaens,.Josephus, Gagn, Manrus, Fhilo, J ustus, Clark and a host of others, whose commentaries extend.in a direct line, from the Christian era to the present time, of which all agree in every essential particular in regard to its Divine authenticity; and wheu we take iuto consideration the fact that as early,as the reign of-King Jamethe I of Fugland^ a con­vention of fifty-four of the most able, men of the times was called by h b majesty—the most celebrated and 'authentic translations of the Bible was at their service, some -, of the copies, of which are still extant and-were translated from the originalrMSS, as early as'13$0,. which, owing to their extreme antiquity must be of the very best authority asithey cannot be said' to have been adulterated with erroneous trans­lations, for a period of over 500 years; and in fact every available means to facilitate a cor­rect version of the original] the arcluous'duties of which occupied the - convention for over three years. Again 1 say wlion these things are taken into consideration in connection with the fact that the most unscrupulous tenacity was observed by the members Of the convention to render (heir work faultless, jit cannot but be admitted by every unbiassed ' and intelligent-mind, that the Bible is atlleast worthy of far more cre.lilable constructions .than are put upon it, by a majority of spiritual writers.—

• Aud why this invidious'distinction—this end­less dispute in regard to fts authenticity? I t has b'uti stood its chance in common' with other works that have been hanided do\yn to us by our ancestors; antique profane, history, seems by a miraculous intorpositjpu of Dame Fortune or some other cause to have escaped the scaMi-ing flre/foTNiibdern coritrove,isialists. Who dis­putes tlie authenticity of thie history of France, Spain,-. :Eugland or Greece in their primitive state as nutionalilies? Who doubts our own history-Tor 300 y'eai's back? No one, and yet no one i lives that has an absolute personal knowledge of all the events therein recorded. Why not some speculative geni "face about and! give battle to the popular opinion ,iu rela­tion to jthis subject"-^—denounce the people as incorrigible heretics and bigots? Such an act wquki open a large field of ^abor,.and doubtless many of the marvelous and the sons of thunder would rally around'the -adventurers standard." But noj S venture to say]no fabulous history of thisj.orany other civilijzed. nation can ever take precedence of the true one!*" Lovers of truth—men of sound intellectual faculties do live, wnose province is tojrecord the changing events of time; we know this to be fact, and judging of the;past. by ith|j present, with . thu knowledge .that one greatchain of mind con­necting all past j ages' witn the present, .which would most certainly havd'.agreat tendency to facilitate correct traditionk we find ourselves on t h e simple but broad basis of truth and-reason : when we assert that to substitute a fabulous in lieu of a'true work of a Biblical character would be impossible,, and therefore has. neyer,been done, .aid: we unqualifiedly

oyer all low spirits, either, in: the rudamental . or more advanced,circles, To,demonstrate b>: yond the possibility of a'doubt that this is the grand'object in_v!ew, I need but give.a; syriop-;sis of the leading features of- the Harmohical Philosophy, and to begin with letme refer the: candid investigator to P . 44 "of a spiritual ,'work called "The Teacber." Here the Bible' is represented as being one ;of the worst of books, full of error, and a sourcis of profanity and cor­ruption. This is so-flagrant, a violation of the rules of propriety tnat I deem it proper to re­fer to authority., But this is .not all, Jesus Christ is said to hjave been !'a mere man, a re-"former like many others.

How is this? A kingdom divided, against itself, shall it not fall? In the outset I purposed to point out inconsistences, if this is not one then I am very much mistaken. These are not idle tales, but stern realities, and if necessary, every asscrtiou made can be proved from spiritual works, but let us pause and survey this point a moment Suppose, for instance, our civil laws were abolished in which case the marriage compact, the observance of the Sabbath, the right to property, the penalty of rapine, robery, theft, murder and cverydescription of evil that law no'w tends to suppress, would have but a nominal existence, what state would society be in? The highth of anarchy and confusion would reign and pervade the earth; a drama would be acted that the darkest ages of my­thological and superstition would not be able to equal, and yet this, is what spiritualists

We. have now ar­rived at a point that deserves the candid con­sideration of all parties. I t will be remember­ed that as the penalty of sin, the wicked are obliged to enter low circles—circles over which eternal gloom is said to hang. The advocates sof the Harmonial Philosophy are free to ad­mit this.point and also .that contradictory communications emioate from low spirits or spirits that arc reputed to be suffering the pen­alty of a broken law. Now therefore in the name of reason, I ask, if their condition is a ^sisej^ble one, is it reasonable to suppose that •they will hover arouud earth and impress im­pressible',subjects in the rudamental sphere tp. commit all manner of evil, when such acts mnst neeessarily tend toarrest their progress; aud yet from what we can learn these spirits do continue their old pranks through the me­dium of othera '. , "

Tn a recent number of the Spiritual Tele­graph, llev. T. L.- Haris says, "It is admitted by the clearest intellects and highest philoso­phers of all times, that man does.not originate ideas, but that they flew down in an orderly influx from ministering spirits and from God, arid as spiritualists! we- stand subjectively on the same platform &c," hence it appears that man's every thought word and deed is charga-ble upon God and the spirits, consequently it cannot be! claimed that man acts at any time independent of Divine or spiritual • diction.— Contradictory communications are frequently received from the blackest villains in the spirit .wpiTdV tbisi besides'a miserable mode of pro-, gression indicates also very-slight punishment, that-there !is and ever was an -incalculable amount of evil iu the world that is chargable somewhere is an unquestionable fact, and if the veriest rascal in eternity is under so slight re* straiut that he will.leisurly sally forth, and with impunity, repeat his deeds through th^ instru­mentality. ,pf mediums, how is it ever to be ex­piated? . Be t again, ours is said to be the ru­damental or lowest circle, consequently the next according to the laws of progression, must be a step in advance of the present—a higher and holier state: hence all outlaws .and workers of iniquity of all grades enter a higher and ho­lier state as the reward of transgression. Hpwj is this? '. If this system was practiced in the: rudamental sphere, the notorious Mat. Ward would be President of the U. S. and Prof. Webster, Minister plenipotentiary, and Envoy extraordinary to the Court .of France. Here seems to be ario.ther inconsistency. In the number of the Telegraph . above alluded to a Mr. R. H. Brown says, "One of- the greatest objections , to the; Harmonial Philosophy is jjihat.it dont provide sufiiicient punishment for (s;u,?and adds, that "it is indeed a grave objec­tion and if it \Vere founded in fact, would be 'sufficient to overthrow our whole system Of phylosophy, but fortunately for spiritualists, it js not," and further, >lthe intention of this lec­ture is to give a full and simple exposition of the teachings of the Harmoi)iaI Philosophy upon thesubject of sin and its punishment" &c.

Several years have already elapsed since it resolved itself into a religious compact and assumed the'compre­hensive cognomen of the Harmonial Philoso­phy.. Since then France, Spain, Pome and mauy other nations have Jexperienced revolu­tions ,that have, deluged their streets with blood—the angry billows of the political ocean have subsided into a calmj and yet spiritualism is said by some to be jn its infancy, and by others to have existed in. all. ages of ,time.-r-The Bible, as I have shpwn/.is alternatively claimed and discarded by its advocates. Such instability proves to- a {demonstration, that' .whether old or young, the)cause as yet, is Bet-tied upon no permanent basis, and istands out in bold relief—a monument of public i ridicule and the sport of faction. I t is true that it is possessed of a iascmutmg exterior, and has been instrumental in doing sonie good, and advo­cates many good principles; if it did not, it would meet with but a meagre reception.— But whilst little benefit ajccru&s from, it, vast injury is done. Men are j induced to view the solemn event of death (after which if the doc­trines of the. primitive Church is true, their condition is hopelessly miserable,) with no concern, and upPn the judgment with con­tempt Our condition in 1T0 is aot-improved ; the promised system of uinvcrsal brotherhood remains yet iu the dim d stance or like the ghosts, vanish at the toucl.. Numerous down­trodden, poverty-stricken specimens |of human­ity are allowed to exist in the immediate vicin­ity of enthusiastic and -.wealthy spiritualists without their ever making an effort in their be­half, which to my mind bears the nninistakable impress of the much detected and ever to be repudiated,"old popular theology." 1

Such is a brief outline of the leading char­acteristic of modern spiritualism; a t o n e time stoutly opposing, at anotlcr fieely advocatiug theological doctrines, iio.w claiming a portion of the Scriptures then discarding, the whole; here a mystery, and there, an»absurdity,"like the Yankees suspenders, it is long enough for •any man mid short euough for any boy. I t is adapted'to all ages, sexes, classes 'and. condi­tions of uie human family. Those o r a medi­cal; turn have but to apped to the circle of Doctors and a hale, portly, fresh looking spirit with liberal abdomenal developments and a pair of saddlebags swung across, his arm, is forthcoming, ready to givemiy information in his line desired. The' musical can summon an orchestra leader at will; tike naturalist has his spiritual auamaeula, and nlie Botanist his spir­itual shrubbery, and flowers. 'Point to an in­consistency, and we,are told that the' medium, is impassive—evil spirits communicate or being undeveloped,.we must creep j before we, can walk; their places of retreat are as numerous as their points of attack audi to follow them through, their varied and extensive peregrena-tfous without compromising ejvery established principle of truth and reison, would„require theskill of a navigator and the patience of Job. I have now shown that the communications purporting to emiuate from disembodied hu­man spirits partake so much of the absurd and inconsistent as to render their authenticity al­together improbable, and it cannot be viewed ip any other light,.accordiiig to spiritual teach­ings, for we are taught tLat as we advance from circle to circle,- we become more and more intelligent but so far from proving this, 'the new,philosophy prove:, decidedly the re-' verse,* and its characteristic imbecility has brought down the anathemas of the intelligent world upon its devoted lead .as'the result— But if not to .spirits, it is asked, to what is the phenomena attributable? * ' • * ; . . * * Wo read in Holy Writ that at a certain period of time there was war in heaven between Mi­chael and Satan, Michail conquered and thrust Satan-and his followers from heaven; they were not annihilated but "reserved unto' the judg­ment" and' allowed cert in immunities and rights, which, though on a grander scale, is not altogether unlike earthly proceedings, for it not mi frequently occurs t l a t when ,a weaker power is conquered,, the conqueror magnani­mously ackuowledges it's i idependence; hence if there is any truth.-in Scriptures, backed by strong, presumptive evidence, wo may .safely infer that Satan's kingdom.on earth, whith­er he was seut, is tolerated; and I may here remark that the term Satan .or Lucifer is too frequently alluded to as a distinct person­age or power to admit of auy doubt of its truth..

The winding up of a romance in real life ha* recently taken place in the quasi-official world of Paris. 'Ibus runs the story:

At a Court Ball, some twenty years since, a young .officer, of the Trench cavalry, met, and was charmed by, a beautiful English g"*L He obtained an introduction and danced with her as often as he could, without .challenging the remark of M s Grace, the young.lady's papa. Our hero was handsome, amiajlc, witty, aud in every way a person to wiu Jue good will of the fair sex. l ie was of good family, and had the artistocratric de affixed tp his name, al­though he could boast 410 tate.

The young lady wva of En^ class—both noble and wealthy. This, how­ever, pur lover did not know when first he bow­ed before the charms of ber I beauty. Love begets love, and women are grateful; and the fair girl returned the young soldiers devotion. They met ofteu—how or where we cannot say but Paris is large, and . English customs are convenient for young people! This was all charmingly agreeable, b u t ungatisfactqry; for theirs was a flirtation with a serious intention affixed to it—marriage I,

A t length our heroine discloses her wishes to her parents. They are jhorrified;, their daughter marry a Pretichman,; merely a Lieu­tenant, a man Without estate! i I t is pot to be thought of., She. listens to Ibis decision in tears. A first weakness passed however, slie feels Nature's dictate, and the strength which love gives. She next boldly, and firmly de­clares to her parents that she loves the young officer with her. whole heart [and Mm alone will she marry. That if they will not permit her to j udge of her own happiness, she can wait until she is of age, when the clergyman muyrnarry them without parcutjal leave

Mr. Lord and My lady are i^iade conscious that their fair and gtntle daughter has a will of her own, and also a patient determination to gratify that wilb They come to parley, and enter into negotiations with the young people. , Y". ••

The lovers are to be separat$u for two years —it shall not be considered an engagement— and the young lady shall receive addresses

!>of the other suitors. On the other haud, the lovers shall be per­

mitted to correspond, and if they remain lov­ers at the end of two years,- they shall marry \v;'th full consent aud approbation.

The young lady consoles her, anxious lover with assurances that her love;is unchanging, aud that the two years absence will only servo to prove their affection for each other; and en­dear them to one another still ijnoix
