In one way or another, perhaps, every pheno

speak, supernatural, has been explained to t'lo

to say self-eontrud ctory. A somewhat amusing
and at the same time pertinent illustration of this
the writer nu t with a few days auo inaceitain
book of nam ml philosophy, ptihliNhed in the
beginnliiK of the last century a time, an It may
be rememiiered, when the study of natural ami
experimental philosophy, after its revival In the
preceding century-, had brought into existence a
nniuber of men from whoso minds almost ever
gtrm of mystery had been eliminated.
himly ot the progress of natural anil experi
mental itclrnco i well calculated to illustrate the
aphorism about the meeting of extremes. I p
to the middle of the seventeenth century it ha 1
been the custom of philosophers lo reter every
unknown agency to the operation of a ghot or
spirit. KviUcnci s of this hynno tendency still
remain in ihomjdern scientitio vocabulary, moro
especially the popular chemical vocaoulary,
though the Causes and circumstances in whi h
thry originated nro commonly forgotten. When
the term "spirit of wine" falls on the ear, or it may
be "spirit of halt," one is not prone to associate
the word "spirit" used on such an occasion with
the cognate meaning of a ghost. It bad that
UieaniLg, nevertheless.
The exptlir.enter who fir-t evolved alcohol
from wine, desired to make those to whom tin
addressed himself understand that the agent of
vinous power the. beatitic agent that made men
merry was a mysterious and, for that reason, to
bis mind, a spiritual agent; hence he called It
"pint of wine." Popular chemical nomencla
ture teems with kindred spiritual designation.-!
even now. Many will occur to whatever mind
imposes upon iiscif the task of going in quest of
them, wherefore they need not be enumerated.
Kuough for present purposes to remark that the
pirilnal epoch of philosophy (for such It may
well be called) tbo epoch when every agency of
qoaJllUs, wneihcr pariially or wholly uaruvoalod,
was com plncently referred to the dominion of a
1'lrit as quickly followed by another epoch of
Character diametrically opposed.
Nature, at length, presented no fiO'TOtfl to tho
Y'timirinfi. Kvtryihlng was to them expllcaldn.
Things Irom the explanation of whLh philoso
phers of our day would modestly retire, acknow
ledging such things tu stand beyond the pale of
their philosophy, were glibly and complacently
enough explained hy philosophers of the epoch
to which referent e la now niadu. Very amusing
errors did these selt-sulliclent explanatory phi
losophers occasionally fall In'o. Everybody, ono
my well suppose, knows the anecdote about
King Churles II and the tish ; how he pu..led the
fellows of the then recently established Royal
Kociety, hy inquiring of them wherefore a dead
Ush should be heavier than a living H-h ; how the
philosophers there and then accounted lor It ; and
bow appeiil to the balance having demonstrated
absolute equality of weight between the two
fiabes, ihe self-sudlcieut philosophers were ban
tered by the king. Mow the anecdote is of utility
here, Ini sniuih as it is typical of tho tendency
amongst philosophers at a certain period, a ten
dency which attained Its climax about the end
Of the seventeenth century.
Ko qnestion pu.zled philosophers then '.nothing
was beyond their comprehension. Nature had
no longer any secrets for these bold invaders of
her outlying domains ; all was explicable. In
the yrar ifltt? an anonymous book was published,
entitled "A Mew Treatise of Mat u ml Philosophy,
lred from tho Intricacies of the bchooie."
AruoBg other matters it contained an explanation
of ihe wuy in which a basilisk kills people by
looking at them. At this time we have got rid of
the fabled basilisk, the creature that was reputed
to kill by tho msre pungency of hie cye-glancea.
The creature Is now known to be a myth, and
the ruses of sudden death, which happened
repeatedly from the eye glances of a basilisk,
uggest more probable if not, indued, well-established
cansea. But onr author not only has no
manner of doubt as to the existence of basilisks,
but be explains quite glibly how it happens that
the eye-glances of a creature should acquire such
deadly power.
Mow it happens that the progress of modern
science, in eliminating the basilisk from out the
list of created things, ha) at the same time ex
plained the cause of belief in that fabled creature,
when the circumstance, la made known that the
fuvi red dwelling place of basilisks, according to
the Ustimony of authorities who vouched for the
being of such creatures, was at the bottom of
dried up wells, pits, and caverns, the modem
reader will begin to suspect that the sudden
deaths referred by medieval writers to basilisk
gate were really caused by Inhalation of carbonic,
acid gas. W hen, furthermore, we learn, oa the
authority of the book above quoted, that a
certain Inquisitive student of Isaturc's ways,
having protected his eyes with a pair of spec
tacles, managed once upon a time to scan a
basiliak from bead to tail, to gaze unharmed
into the creature's very eyes, making a deli
berate survey of the beast, aud recording that
be resembled In appearance a big toad, then does
the ridiculous supiciou dawn upon one that tho
creature misiaken for the deadly thing, of mediae
val fancy bred, was no other thun a poor frog!
Our author, however, the natural philosopher,
explains the matter iu quite another way. Accord
ing to him, the spectacles had a positive value :
bo tutttwlihout the spectacles no mortal eyei could
have met the basilisk gaze without instaut death
to the possessor of them. According to our au
thority (who is a staunch believer, as wc already
know, In the deadly power ol basilisk eyes), the
explanation of their potency consists In simply
this, viz., the continuous darting, by a sort of ra
diation, aa we should call it now.ol certain sharp
and penetrative emanations; atomio darts,
purely mechanical things; whence the rationale
of their action should, of course, be purely me
chanical. The reader will doubtlest cali to mind
bow that greatest of travelers, Lemuel Gulliver
(if M.du C'haillu be excepted), finding himself
in the midst of battla waged by Lilliputian war
riors, seeing the tiny arrows (ly about, and fear
ing lest his eyes might be injured, put on his
tjieetacles to ward the arrows otf. Precisely after
that manner was it that, according to our autho
rity, tho adventurous individual who dared the
basilisk iu ui cave protoued himself against that
creature.
Theaa remarks were instituted' to the end of
showing bow philosophers, Over-arrogant in their
own conceit blinded, metaphorically ao to
leak. by the pride of their own aelf-kuowledge
have been known to explain phenomena to the
satisfaction, of tba public, although hardly, it
may fairly be aaaumed, to the satisfaction of
themselves ; or bow, If indeed aatislied, they must
Lav been content to deposit their faith on a
pedestal of insecure erection aud very small
dimensions. Coming to the main topic of this
paper, the faculty, or delusion, or pretense of
second light, I perceive that certain individuals,
led away by tbe pride of their own philosophy,
have curtly, and a it would leem Uloglcally,
assumed that apparitions, belonging to tbe cate
gory of tba second eight, are explicable on a
purely physical hypothesis; tha plieuoniena of
auch apparitions presenting no more dillieulty to
Ue inquirer than those of the Polytechnic ghost.

Moreover, the lnpo of time between the
spectral apparition and the de ith It portendod
was, a. cording to the authority before me. Infal
libly predicted wilhiti small limits of error. It
had come lo lie understood by these second-sight
seers, that tho wintling-tbcct which seemed to
enwrap these spectral corpses disclosed, ihron,'U
tbe manner of ita folding, the period of dissolu
tion. If a spectral corpse was seen wholly en
veloped by the winding sheet, then the death had
already happened, or would immediately happen.
If the windiiig-sLeet only extended half way up
the body, then death would occur after the lapse
of half a yi nr.
The autiquary John Aubrey, wishing to collato
authentic testimony relative to second sight,
proposed a series of question to two Scotch
gentlemen thereon, and published their replies.
The respondents do not dill'er In any important
particular; both testify, to begin, thut the second
sight relates only to things tuturo, which will
shortly come to puss ; that sad and dismal events
are the objects of this faculty, such as sudden
deaths and dreadful accidents. Having intimated
that the general characteristic of second sight
is dismal, melancholy, deponent number ono
then states that ho only knew of ono instance to
the contrary. "That instance," remarks ho, "I
have from a person worthy of credit, and it is
this:
"Near forty years ago, M tclean and his lady,
sister to my Lord Sealbrth, were walking about
their own house, und on their return both came
into a cbamocr where the young child was
nursed. Tho baby did us babies sometimes do
now.it began to cry ; whereupon the nurse was
asked whether buby was woll, und whether any
thing had gone wrong with its diet. 'Well, and
well victualled,' replied the nurse ; 'it enetli not
for tbo cause of sickness.' 'Tnt, why does it
cry i' demanded tho questioner; upon which the
nurse, after a lew moments oi discreet silence,
communicated the reason, and in so doing made
known her faculty or second sight. '.Maelcau
(baby's pupa) would die,' the nurse said, 'and the
ludy would shortly bo married to uuothor man.'
llemg pressed as lo how she knew that event, sho
told the questioners (there were two) that on thoir
entrance into the room, she saw a man with a
scarlet cloak and a white hat betwixt them giving
the lady a kiss over the shoulder; and thus it was
that baby cried. All this came to pass alter Mac
lenn's death. The tutor of Lovet married the lady
in the same habit thu nurse saw him in."
fetich, then, is the solitary instance of a result,
not sail, not dismal, not melancholy, made known
by anticipation through tbe faculty of second
Sight, lieponeut number one, still enlightening
tiie Knglisn antiquary Aabrey on the subject of
second sight, goes on to siuto that "second
sighted men see things visibly before their eyes,
but noue sees hot themsulvi s; for example, if a
man be doomed to be banged, they will see him
already dangling from a gib;ct, or at least a rope
about his neck ; if lo be In .headed, thoy will see
Lim headless; if to be drowuud, they will per
ceive an apparition of him in wutot ; if to die
suddenly by undetermined means, they will see
a winning-sheet about his head. "One instance
1 had from a gentleman here," slates deponent,
"of a Highland gentleman of ihe Mucdumihls,
who having a brother that came to visit him, saw
bim coming in, wanting a head, but told not bis
brother that he saw any inch thing; yet within
twenty-four hours thereafter his brother wai
taken (being a murderer), his head cut oil, and
sent to .Edinburgh. Many such Instances might
be given."
1 he faculty of second sight was described by
all whom deponent questioned on tbe matter an
a troublesome thing they would be gladly freed
from, but could nut. He confesses, however, to
having heard "lately" of a man very much trou
bled in his soul therewith, from whom, by bis
eriously praying deliverance, the fuculty at
length departed.
Relative to tho exorcism of second-sight spec
tres, to getting rid ot the faculty, I Und, in Mar
tin's truct on second sight, the following anec
dote ;
"A woman of Stornaby, in Lewis, had a maid
who saw visions, and often fell into a swoon.
Her mistress was very much concerned about
ber, but could not find out any means to prevent
ber seeing these things; at last she resolved to
pour some of tho water used in baptism on her
maid's lace, believing this would prevent her
seeing any moro sights of the kind. Accordingly,
she carried her maid with her the next Lord's
day, and both of them sut near the basin in which
the water stood, aud alter baptism, before the
minister bad concluded the last prayer, she put
out ber baud in the basin, took up aa much water
aa she could, and threw it on tho maid's face, at
which strange action Ihe minister and tbe con
gregation were equally surprised.
"After pra)er, thu minister inquired of the
woman the meaning of such it a unbecoming and
distracted action ; whereupon she told him it was
to prevent her maid seeing visions; aud it foil
out accordingly, lor from thut time aha nover
once more saw a vision of any kiud. This ac
count was given mo by Mr. Morlson, minister of
the place, before sevcrul of ids parishioners who
knew tho truth of it." Then follows a comment
that the reader Is requested to note. "1 submit
the matter of fact," our author adds, "to the cen
sure of the learned ; but lor my own part I think
it to have been one of fia tun's deviues to make
credulous people huve an esteem for holy water."
One of the questions propo-ed by the antiquary
Aubrey was this: Had aoy person or persons
truly godly, or who might justly be presumed to
be such, been known to have this gift or faculty ?
To this query respondent answers; "Hot auy
godly, but such as are virtuous."
That It descends by succession deponent can
not learn. Nor can be learn how jiossessora of
the faculty came by it. "They will not toll, which
if they did, they are sure of their strokes from art
invisible hand. Ho cites, us an example, tho
case of one Allen Miller, "who being In company
with some gentlemen, and having gotten moro
than ordinary of that strong liquor they wore
drinking, began to tell stories about strauge pas
sages be bad been at; but the said Allen was
auddenly removed to tho further end of the boase,
and was there almost strangled. Recovering a
little, aud coming to the place where be was
before, they asked bim what it was that troubled
bim to. lie answered be durst not tell, fur he
bad told too much already."
Aa to tbo source when ioconiLsighted indi
vidnals derived their faculty, aome attributed the
gift to a compact with lha devil, others to fairies ;
deponent hath beard that those that havo this
faculty of second eight have offered to teach it to
such as were curious to know It. "Upon such
and such conditions they would teach taem ;" but
(heir oilers were rejected.
Dcisonent having furnished answers to all the
questions propounded, concludes hia epistle to
Mr. John Aubrey, f. It. 8., by the recital of a
case narrated to him "by a very honest man in
tbe next parish, who told it to me," deponent him
self. The outline of the tale is as follows ; The
honest man's wile being in a fair way to increase
bis family, be bought some boards with which to
make a bed for ber. The boards still lying at the
door of his bouse, there comes aa old ushwoinau
yet alive, and asks him whose were those boards.
"My owu," said be. "for what use host thou
tbem )" demanded she. "For a bed," aaid he.
"I tell thee they shall be for a eollln," the Ash
bag muttered ; ''for already do I see a corpse lying
upon them."
Thereupon the honest man was stricken to the
heart, fearing the death of bis wife. The old hag,
having muttered ber prediction, goes away ; aud
proaeully the honest man sends for a carpenter to
luuke the bed, which is accordingly done. It was
made its little eollln.
Il must not be imagined, Jn spite of the stale
nien's in this epist'eto John Ant rey. tbst socond-
ght apparitions l.ave only hvi n voiu bsafed 10
