Xo subject has of late taken dcei>er hold
on the public mind than Spiritualism.
Recently, la New York city, the most at
tonishitig tests have been applied, without
success, to discover, by what Bgcncy. other

graphs. The best experts of the country,
iu the art of photography, acknowledged
their defeat, nnd Mumler, (or the time, at
least, is master of the field.
Tbo writer of this paper docs not affirm
his belief in spiritual agency as applied to
photography, nor, on the other hand, does
ho Join the multitude iu hastily denounc
ing what he has not the penetration to un
derstand or account for.
The fact is, we live by mystery. All
agents butUc our intimacy, and few facts
known to us at all. are sufficiently known
to warratil dogmatism in any department
of science uml economy
The following account furnishes the
whole of the wrier* acquaintance with
Hpiritualiiin. and if it -erves the purpoae
of eiilerUlnmt'iit. the object In view will
be achieved
No matter when, no mutter where. I re
a,, 1 veil to visit, incog., it celebrated medium
for the purpose of tealim; his powera, and
for an evening's experience with the so
called mysteries and wonder* of Spiritual
ism I had heard much favorable to the
(H rsotial charuolci and lemaikable devel
opments of the medium whom 1 projtoaed
to tisit. and felt that, if from any one, I
could from him gain the information I
sought.
After a “catch of several hours, 1 found
myself at the door of a largo house, and
was about to pull the bell, when it sud
dcnly opened, and a fine-looking gentle
man, probably thirty years of age. made
Ids appearance. Without introduction, he
extended his hand, and brusquely, and. as
J thought, with a frank abruptness, said.
• Good day, sir, I am delighted to see you,
i have been expecting you for an hour.”
As 1 had never seen the gentleman lie
fore, 1 was naturally surprised ut this
greeting, and hesitated how to respond to
his frank and cordial salutation. Looking
into ills face, 1 thought I saw honesty
stamped upon every feature, mid, taking
the profit red hand I entered with Idm
into the house.
The room into which he .led uic was
-mull, with au ordinary round mahogany
table iu the centre, covered with writing
materials, and surrounded with chairs.
Immediately upon being seated, ruppinge
were heard throughout the room—on the
table, under the table, at my feet, under
my chair, on the ceiling, on the door; ev
erywhere throughout the room, the
mysterious raps reported themselves.—
though somewhat abashed and disturbed
by this, to me, novel experience, 1 never
theless controlled lnv fancies, and em
braced a few moments of silence to study,
if possible, the character of the gentle
man before wo.
As I have already said, lie was about
thirty years of age, of portly form, crown
ed by a shapely head and lVoutispicco,
and looked out of a dark searching pair
of eyes Altogether, he impressed ine
w ith the ease and manners of a travelled
gentleman.
' You have been loug contemplating a
visit to me," said the medium
"1 must admit sir." 1 answered, "that I
have for sometime considered tko subject,"
"And you desire to test my powers as a
medium ?"
"Such is the object of my visit,"
“Allow me to welcome you to tuy house,
mud. without further introduction or cere
mony." extending his hand to ini' acroaa
the tnble. “let u be friomla "
I must .-ay that the cordial reception
thus extended to me. won at once tuy coo
thlruce and entirely at my eaae.
If you have no objection, air," 1 said
we will proceed at once to buaineaa "
lie readily annulled During this con-
Tcisation the rap* had ceased, and the ai
leuce of the room was broken only by the
interchange of word*. No aoouer bad I
proposed business, however, than the raps
llegal), with greater vehemence, if poa
tible. than before, and the table was sud
denly lifted from the floor and tipped into
my lap
“A friendly greeting." -aid the medium.
■ from a delightful baud of augels. who ate
here to enjoy with me an hour of society."
"Your guardian angels," continued he,
"nre excessively fond of you ; they press
upon your clour, they hover about your
head, they shield you w ith their hands ;
they wait upon your words ; they go be
fore your steps ; they weep when you are
-ad ; they shout w hen you are cheerful .
they sing songs to you in yourdnams;
and kiss your eyelids in the early morn
ing to awake you to n peaceful life.”
••By w hat process," 1 asked, “do you
profess to knew these things ?"
•I sec them now," answered the medi
um, • the room is filled with them ; they
greet you with delight and smile on me
m>r your sake.'
Using soma what at a loaa bow to begin
tha investigation, 1 was relieved by the an
nouncement that there were eplrlta pree
•ent, who were exceedingly anxious to
communicate with me."
"Can you give me their names ?" I
asked.
“Certainly," was his quick reply, and
immediately taking up a pencil, wrote the
names of several persons whom I had
known intimately iu years gone by,
among them the uame of one that sent a
thill! of happy memories through my
heart. It was my mother.
“Ah,” thought I, “my mother will not
deceive me. I shall certainly lie able to
■ test whether this be true or false."
The medium laid the pencil down, and,
leaning back In bis chair, thoughtfully
and steadily gazed at me. Upon my in
quiring the cause, he answered, "I am
looking st your mother; sho stands be
hind your chair, leaning lovingly and
confidingly on your ahoulders and gazing
aa she used to do upon your face, with the
fondnosa which you ao well recall. Hhe
is now smoothing your brow, she ia smiling
upon you, and bids you remember the
many lesson* which, in your childhood it
was her happiness to impart to you, and
which in you manhood you have found to
be of constant service."
“When did sho die?" 1 naked, "and
where ?”
"At such aud such a time," was the
answer, aarning the day, month and place
of my mother's death.
Being bcut upon s thorough investiga
tion, and having all ray scspticiam aroused,
I in,mediately asked him for her maiden
name. Without hesitation, again taking
the pencil, he said, "Hhe shall write it her
self," and thereupon he wrote in the famil
iar hand of my mother, her full iianio,
when she was born and where.
“If this is my mother." I remarked, "she
will not object to writing my own name,
sud the time and plact of my birth," when,
strange as it may appear, gentle reader,
the pencil swept acrusa the page and the
truth was told.
The first affect of these startling devel
■ ■pnieuts was to partially unhinge my feel
ings, and for a moment I was loatin amaze
ment. But not yieldiog my faith even to
this evidenco. I resolved still farther to
prove the possibilities of the medium iu
such u manner at would leave no room to
doubt the genuineness of his powers.
Having traveled over a greater portion of
the world, and made acquaintances iu
foreign countries, many of whom are now
dead. I determined to apply a significant,
and, as I conceived, a most difficult test.
As if uiy thoughts wsre instantly divined
by the medium, he remarked,
"There are spirits present whose man
nert aro in strange contrast with those of
our own community, and they are making
motions which I cannot interpret."
I then mentally Inquired if the spirit ol
a certain friend of mine who had died iu
the Kast Indies, was present. The answer
came immediately "Y'our friend who
died in the Last Indies is here, and is ex
ceedingly anxious to converse with you
I see uer now," and he proceeded to de
scribe the personal appearance of one who
had been dead six years. "1 see before
me," he said, "a short, delicate lady, whose
fnco Is marked with traces of suffering, she
is dressed iu a light fabric, and wears upon
her head a summer hat Hhe appears to
have just returned from a walk Her hair
hangs loosely upou her shoulders, and in
her hand is a letter which she seems de
sirous of presenting to you."
"1 would know her name," I observed,
lie instantly seized a peucil aud wrote
upon a paper, w hich he handed me w ith a
perplexed air, saying, "Here are some
characters, sir, but 1 must confess that I do
not understand them." On taking the
paper, to my astonishment. I read in clear,
beautiful Pcrti-Arabic romanired words,
the name of my dead friend, with the saluta
tion common among the uatives of India.
'Bvrrah, SaAib,SaUam,' the name by which
she playfully called me. literally meaning,
in the Oriental exubcrmuce of politenesss,
"Urcat sir, good cheer I"
While regarding the inscription with si
lent wonder, the medium suddenly drew
up his roat-aleave, with the exclamation,
■•See here 1" and there, in red lines upon
the tleahy part of the fore arm, standing
out iu bold relief, were the English initials
of my friend's name Not to be deceived,
I seized his baud and held it out for a few
moments, while 1 watched tlie strange
phenomenon fade from sight.
Thus was I nonplussed, not merely by
the captivating of two ef my seuses. name
ly. seeing and hearing, bntby receiving a
communication in a language which not
ten persons In the country could read or
understand, and of which, as I afterwards
bad abundant opportunity of discovering.
Uie medium had not the slightest knowl-
edge.
i her* remained yet one more impor
tant test. A secret involving the charac
ter of a third party was known only by
my dead friend and myself, and I im
mediately resolved to penetrate, if possibly
ihia mystery, by asking for a revelatiou of
th* fact* Involved. I propounded my
question mentally and requested that she
would write the answer in her own band
through the medium , as—before, he seized
the pencil and carelessly and rapidly
wrote the secret out. without kuowing a
word of the same. It was true.
For the time baing, our conference with
the spirits ended. Entering then into fa
miliar conversation with th* medium. I
lamed something of bis meat eventful life
1 asked him. among other questions, when
he first felt these spiritual impulses and im
preasions—iu short, what made him a me
dium. He candidly replied, "1 have been
a medium from childhood, and I am au
from necessity. If left to myeelf. I would
oot choose this vocation, hut I am forced
by day and by night by pswers out of me.
and as inexplicable to me a* to yourself
to perform th* part yon see me acting.’
“If you havo no objections, sir, I would
know your experience somewhat in dr.
tall.
"Not the slightest," was his frank an
swer, and inviting me to light a cigar, he
threw himself back in his chair, and, as
nearly as I can remember, in the following
words relieved my curiosity :
*"lt is generally believed, said be, "that
spiritualists arc nothing more than deceiv
ers—persons who are given up to the fol
lies and vices of a corrupt world, and who
are srtangers to the sweet aud holy virtues
of good character and domestic life. In
short, that they are a fraternity of catch
pennies, living upon the credulity of the
people. While I must admit that we
have among us characters of this sort,
who go from city to city giving public
seances, and seeking thus to fill their pock
ets, 1 nevertheless, emphatically deny that
it is true of even a respectable proportion
of our number. As you seem (• be a rea
sonable person, I beg you to hear a page
or two of my life, and judge for yourself of
the influence by which a true spiritual
medium is sometimes beset.
"As far back as I can remember, I was
tho subject of spiritual manifestations. As
1 grew to manhood aud mingled with so
ciety, they not only perplexed, but an
noyed me and several times almost drove
me to despair. Thoughtful days and wake
tul nights attested my misery. I sought
relief in the quiet home circle; amid the
gazettes of social life ; iu the fields and
woods , among hooks ; and in the Church
of God—but in all my pursuits, in all pla
:es and under all circumstances, my steps
were followed nnd I wrs pressed into the
thankless and unwilling service. My suf
ferings at last had become so great as to
alarm my most intimate friends, and they
despaired not only of my reason but of
life itself. 1 was a walking skeleton. I
could not sleep. 1 was tormeuted by ex
cruciating nervous pains; In short, on
dured the horrors of purdition. At last
unable to hold out longer, I yielded myself
to the strange, mysterious influences which
seemed to possess me, and in that act I
found relief.
"Among my singular experiences was
this, that if 1 encountered one who suffered
from any cause whatever, I seemed to be
come. for the time, a part of his being, and
to realize in my person all the anguish ho
endured. I was eveu drawn to those
whom 1 had never seen and of whom I
knew nothing. This curious sympathy
has carried mo to almost every country iu
the world, in search oi unfortunate per
sons, and, In every instance, I have found
relief oaly in administering relief to them.
On one occasion, I was suddenly sum
moned. liy spiritual intluences, to sail in
the first ship for California. 1 resisted for
days until my old ngony threatened me,
when taking my trunk I started on a mis
sion, the intents of which were as un
known to me as to a child unborn. On
arriving in San Francisco, 'a stranger in a
strange land.' my steps were directed to
the very house iu which, as it afterwards
appeared, the cause of my sympathy re
sided, and, through spiritual agencies, I
was there enabled to clear away a mystery
which had plunged a respectable house
hold into the deepest distress.
"I will give you an illustration nearer
home, however, with which, perhaps, you
aro somewhat familiar. You may remem
ber that some two years ago, iu a New
England city, not more tliau one hundred
miles from New York, u bank robbery was
committed. Suspicion rested upon a young
clerk iu the hank, who had hitherto borne
a spotless character. Without knowing
Hie circumstances, and without the re
motest acquaintance with any of life per
sons concerned, 1 suddenly became a part
ner in the sufferings of that young man.
Mentally. I went through all the process
of arrest and imprisonment for lack of
bail; all the tortures of a conscience un
spotted . ami I writhed under accusations
as galling as they wo unjust. For weeks,
I ate and slept little. 1 lived only iu the
unspeakable agony of a blasted reputa
tion.
“One night, while cogitating upon this
matter, and wondering where it would
end, 1 was summoned by the same influ
ence to take the early traiu next morning
for the scene of the robbery. Nothing
loth, I made my preparations, ami. in ac
cordance with the command, found myself
that evening on tho steps of a handsome
mansion in oue of the loveliest portions of
the town. Hinging tho bell, it was an
swered by a young lady, to whom I frankly
announced that I was directed by myste
rious agencies to seek lodgings in her
house.
“ ‘That is impossible,’ she answered ;
'there sre hotels in the city and we have
no rooms at the disposal of strangers.' I
immediately replied, 'yes, miss, your moth
er and yourself have been preparing the
front room on the left hand side of the hall
up stairs for my accommodation, aud I beg
you not to consider me ungentleumnly or
rude, if I press myself u|H>n your hospi
tality.’
"The mother had meanwhile come to
the door, and both ladies seemed to be
greatly agitated upon hearing my answer.
The former remarked, 'it is true, sir, that I
have such a room, and that I have been
fitting it up for the reception of a dear
friend,' naming the suspected clerk in the
bank, who was the next day to be released
from confinement.
" 'But he will not be here until to-mor
row,’ I said, 'and as it is with him that I
have to do, you must afford me lodgiug
until he comes.’
"Whether it was my manner, the agita
tion iu my countenance, or the ladies' per
plexity, I cannot say, hut I was made cor
dially welcome, and in a few minutes was
domiciled in the room which I bad so
minutely described.
"1 spent the night in feverish excite
ment, and with the dawn of morning be
can anxiously to expect the ynung person
whoso sufferings, for the time, had been
my heritage. It was ten o'clock in the
morning, however, before the door-bell
rang ; aud then a pale, emaciated young
man, of not more than six and twenty
years, was boisterously received by tbo in
mates of the bouse. The same strange
presence that had led me from New York
to that spot was around me now, and one
glance assured me of the identity of the
individual. Without a word of introduc
tion, I took him abruptly by the band and
said, ‘sir, you are an innocent man.’
“What do you mean sir ?” he said.
“ 'I mean that you are not guilty of the
charges which have been made against
you ; that you did not rob the bank ; tbst
you have been incarcerated without
cause ; and that I am here to point out to
you the guilty party, and prove thereby
your innocence.’
"He stared at me with surprise, and in
quired, 'who are you—a stranger, whom
I never have seen before—who thus de
clares my innocence ?'
'•lf bis surprise was great, my relief
was infinitely greater, for my sou! seemed
at that moment to be released from prison,
and I felt myself once more a free man.
I need not go into the details of our in
troduction, and the several hours of pleas
ant chat which we had in the room I
occupied during the night. The next
morning we walked down the street, and
went straight to the bank. Something im
pelled me there—something more than
fate ; something I could not disobey. It
was the spirit influence. We bad scarcely
entered tbo door, when a scrupulously
dressed, middle-aged man likewise entered
apparently for the purpose of making a
deposit. To ordinary eyes, there was no
peculiarity about tho individual that
would have attracted observation. To me,
he was thrilling. Hastily, I asked the
young man, ‘do you know that person ?’
" 'Well,' was the answer, -he is one of
the most highly respected citizens in this
community.’
“•Know then, said I’ ‘that that man is
the guilty party for whose crime you have
suffered the loss of reputation, and stand
before the bar of public opinion branded
as a thief yet to be tried.’
“ 'lmpossible !’ replied my friend, 'ut
terly impossible ! Name any other man.
That man is incapable of a wrong act, for
he is not only a gentleman and prominent
man of business, but a pillar of the church.’
“ ‘Nevertheless, ho is a robber of the
bank,’ I answered, 'and you shall yet hear
him confess the crime.'
"That very day I had an interview with
the president of the institution, in which
all the circumstances of the robbery were
carefully reviewed. By spiritual agency I
was enabled to recall to his mind certain
facts which had been overlooked ia the
earlier investigations of the case ; to reveal
certain clues which had not been thought
of; and, in brief, to work out such a chain
of circumstantial evidence as now threw
all the suspicion upon the hitherto re
spected citizen and depositor.
"The trial took place in duo time. Mean
while I had been active, in behalf of my
young friend Witnesses were summoned
at my instigation, who adduced testimony
tending to fasten the guilt where it belong
ed, and the counsel, stimulated by the
fresh light which I had thrown upon th*
case, redoubled their exertions in behalf
ot innocence aud virtue.
"Tho result was a triumphant acquittal
The hitherto disgraced clerk was promptly
reinstated iu the bank ; promoted to a
more honorable position than before, and
to this day enjoys the respect and confl
deuce of his employers and the public.
"In tl.c progress of the trial, the real
thief was placed upon the witness stand,
and, in the course of his evidence, the fact
was elicited from his own lips that he was
present on the day of the robbery. From
this point, inch by inch, a net-work of
dark and presumptive circumstauces was
woven around him. until, at last, he be
came entangled in the meshes, aud the sus
picions of tho public, like birds of prey
hovering about their victim, pounced upon
him aud struck their beaks into the quiv
criug carcass.
"To save xvhat little character tho scoun
drel could, or rather to escape the peniten
tiary, he sought to settle the case without
a trial at law, and this, in consideration of
his wealth aud family connections, he was
permitted to do. The stolen money was
returned, and he who, to accomplish his
own base ends, would have sacrificed a vir
tuous youth, is to-day an outcast and wan
derer in a foreign land, under an assumed
name, having disgraced the one he bore
• In a few weeks after the trial, it was
my pleasure to lie a favored guest at a
ceremony which joined iu wedlock my
young friend nnd tho lovely woman who
met ms at the door."
Such was the story of the medium. It
was told in an artless and confidential
manner, and 1 ever since have bad occa
sion to remember, with peculiar satisfac
tion. my first "Evening with a Spiritual
ist."
