Recently, la New York city, the most at tonishitig tests have been applied, without success, to discover, by what Bgcncy. other Ilian the one uaslgncd. a Mr. W. II Mum lor produced what lie culls Spirit I holo 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."
