Concert Hall has been seized upon by tbe
spirits, and devoted henceforth to the elucida
tionof the dogmas by which they hope at no
distant day to upset the established order of
things In this world, precipitate the conflict of
Armageddon, and brlog about a new spiritual
istic state of affairs generally. Such oi the
spirits par excellence as are still Incommoded by
tabernacles of flesh and bone, are accustomed
to congregate here every Sunday morning and
evening, to listen to the new dispensation as
promulgated by those happier spirits who have
acquired a larger liberty and a more ethereal
ized existence by ehuflling off their mortal
colls. Yesterday morning, as our readers will
doubtless remember, the weather was oppres.
sively warm, and the spirits suffered their due
proportion of vexation. Not more than two
hundred of them were in a condition which
warranted them in appearing In public. These
were timely present, and the platform was occu
pied by these gentlemen, the central one being
the main attraction. Tbe superfluous chairs
about a dozen lu number, were for the accom
modation of disembodied spirits of note. Such
Is our conjecture, at least, and we are UDabte to
account for their beggarly array on Buy other
hypothesis.
A QUESTION OF IDENTITY.
was raised at tbe outset, to perplex the un
spiritualise attendants ou these seances. Mr.
Thonias Gales Forster was the orator,
or mouthpiece of the occasion. Mr.
Forster Is a well-preserved gentleman of
about fifty jeais, with a very benign counte
tenance, a high forehead, a tutt of hair
much in the Cape-Cod Dukensstyle, and a short
grey beard. As an orator, he is a man of no mean
pretensioub, being gifted with a plentiful supply
ot words of the most momentous length, and of
the most perplexing signification, and spe.itcing
with great unction, aud at limes with such un
controllable vehemence that he is apt to get into
a rhetorical tangle.
- But we were led to believe that Mr. Former,
affable and eloquent as he is, was of but sligDt
importance. The words which he let fa!l were
not hie words, the wierd doctrines which he
promulgated were not his doctrines, the extended
knowledge of the nebular hypothesis which he
displayed was not his knowledge. Professor E.
C. Dayton, an English eavan with whose name
and great repute we were then first made fami
liar, was the source of all. Professor Dayton
is, technically speaking, dead; spirttuallstically
speaking, he has merely escsped from the eu
cumbrance of the body, and Is now figuring
apon the broad stage of the spirit world. To
aay the least, be must have been a very olnver
man in hie day, or the since bis demise has
been lortunaie ia securing access to alt tbe
constantly accumulatinff treasures or science.
Ubiug the eloquent lips of Mr. Forster, then, as
a medium, Pro eseor Dayton proclaims to toe
world divers things, with many of which the
world Is already familiar, while not a few of
them paitake decidedly of a startling aud novel
aspect.
While the choir was engaged In displaying Us
ocnl acquirements, Mr. Forster was occupied
In falling into a trance. As soon aa the musical
exercises were concluded, that gentleman arose,
closed his eyes, screwed up his luce into any
thing but a spiritualistic state, pulled out bis
White pocket-handkerchief and began forthwith.
ST. PAUL PBOCXilMS TEE SPIRITOAMSHC CREED.
The Speaker commenced by stating the fact
that the theological world had deemed it proper
to assert that Spiritualism aud Pantheism are
one and the same thins. This outrageous im
putation he proposed to refute, and he wo ild
accomplish it by selecting a text from ono of the
great apostles of Cbri6tianiiy.
lie then read recited, rather the following
words from the sixth verse of the fourth chapter
of 8t. Paul's Epistle to the Fphesiaas:
"One God and Father of all, who is above all,
and through all, and in you all."
The trance-siieaxer then proceeded at con
siderable length to inquire into the pantheism
of tit. Paul and of spiritualism, and to show how
that of tbe latter was of no greater enormity
than that ol the former. He stated that the
most highly developed seer ol the present day,
Mr. Davis not Jefferson, ot tbe late Confede
racy, we Imagine: but Andrew Jac'oos, of the
'Harmonic Coronation" school of Philosophy
lias said that there can be
NO LINE OF DIVISION
between philosophy, religion, science, soirlt
nahsm, and several other ta.nirs of which we
did not distinctly catch the titles. Before the
developments ot modern science the Judean
Jiterature is continually paling, while the in
culcations of spiritualism are be in it more aud
mote fully sustained. In short, it is gradually
establishing something legitimate and tangible
with regard to tbe future state of man.
Mr. frorster then touched upon what he styled
"the development theory," but wnat, to our
mind, would more appropriately be denominated
THE NEBULAS HYPOTHESIS.
The whole array ot worlds, he declared, in
tbe beginning existed in one vast molten mass,
without form and void. Science has maintained
that all matter in the universe ia made up of
certain elements which cannot be resolved into
simpler foims. But, from the spiritualistic
standpoint, it is a pnilosophical tact that matter
is of one and the same element everywhere, and
t bat these so called elements are but combina
tions of this primordial form of matter, which
may as readily exist on other globes as ou our
own. This primordial element has bi-eu un
folded and manipulated hy some supreme
power, for the inhabitarion of human races, in
the multitudes of worlds which everywhere
shine in the galaxy, and float upon the sea of
harmony.
After proceeding at some length in this strain
we do not pretend to give Mr. Forster's
exact words, except those wbicn are most
remarkable lor their length or grandiloquence
the speaker arrived at the rather discouraging
conclusion that, despite tbe researches of
science and the enlightenment of disembodied
spirits, the eternity of the past is as impenetrable
as the eternity of the luture, to the riulte
xnlnd. He then reviewed again the origin of
the stellar aud planetary worlds, the spiritu
aliatie kuowledge of Professor Dayt m develop
ing, at this poriioo of tns duplicate discourse,
nothing that was positively new or startliug.
ADAM NOT THE FIRST MAN BT ANT MEANS.
Mr. Forster thea cited the recent discoveries
cf human remains in this country, which the
learned Agassiz has declared, iron the accumu
lation of earth above them, could not ht beeu
habilitated with flesh and propelled iyspirlts
less than ten thousand years ago. These disco
veries must lorever settle tbe theologians and
others ho adhere to the "Judean literature"
a very el'gaut and inoffensive term to apply to
the Holy scriptureo lor they efl?ctually upset
Adam's claim to piioriiylu the order of the
human race. The leaner must note that this
last reflection is one of our own, and that Pro
fessor Agassiz, or Mr. rorater, or Professor
Dayton, are responsible for it only by way of
lIlf'WDCC.
But tbe claims of Adam rest ou a still more
shaky foundation than is left tbem by these dis
coveries; lor, as the speaker announced, bricks
have been discovered in the country watered oy
tbe Nile at such a vast depth below the surface
that, making a carelul calculation of tbe amount
f euth deposited by tbe waters of tht river at
iu annual overflowings, tbe 'men who made
them must have flosruhed at Jeat thirty-six
thousand yews ago! "Judean literature" is
Iheiefpre clear! at fault, aud Adam was not
the first man by a trifle of thirty thousand years
or more. '
Tbe speaker having thus effectually de
molished Adam's pretentious claim to antiquity,
wandered off to the extinct fanna of the rockf,
and set forth the leading features of
THI OKMVINI DEVELOPMENT TBNOBT,
which he appeared to regard as lnoontestiblc
and as entirely satisfactory. Indeed, he pre
served the most astonishing calmness, while
endeavoring to prove that he himself was
nothing more than a highly-developed oyster,
while each one of his auditors had, berore the
Interesting period of his birth, displayed In
succession the cerebral developments ot an
adult fish and a full-Rrown pig 1 The first vege
table was a very simple affair, being acciden
tally gotten up by a union of an acid with an
alkali. In there latter days the combination of
an acid with an alkali results, in chemical par
lance, in a salt; but the process of nature has
Dot been standing still, or else, when vegetables
v;ere as scarce as we can well imagine them to
have been be'ore any variety had been called
Into being, the excessively antiquated people of
that period were willing to accept almost any
thing as such.
To return to the development theory. Soon
after the first vegetable made its appearauce in
such an eccentric faMon, an animal was simi
larly go'ten up, and then tbe two went on in
regulur alternation, each successive specimen ot
the two kingdoms becoming more and more
complicated in Internal structure, aud more ami
more interesting in external appearance, until
at last man stood fortb, the epitome of all that
had gone before blm.
THEOLO0T ATTEMPT" TO LAUGH IT DOWN.
Having thus developed his acidulated alkali of
a vegetable into a human epitome, the speaker
said tbat the theological world, lacking any
argument by which" tbey could refute these
eccentric doctrines, had in their dire extremity
retorted to derision. So also had a portion a
portion only, mind you of ihe scientific world,
wbioh is gradually coming over to the Spiritual
istic side ot the question.
CALLING HARD NAMES BY WAT OF ARGUMENT.
But, exclaimed the speaker, with decided
emphasis, the laugh of the Atheist is no refu
tation !
Now we think that eilher Mr. Forster or Pro
fesFor Daton was slightly inconsistent at this
stage of the double dn-course. He one or the
other of them, we don't know which bad just
spoken in terms of marked rebuke of the theo
logians and orthodox savans who bad attempted
to deride his position; and then forthwith pro
ceeded to counteract their derision by hurling
at them the epithet of "Atheist." We regretted
this little outbmst of ill-humor, for it destroyed
tbe benevolent symmetry of the whole discourse,
and left upon our mind tbe unpleasant impres
sion that even a disembodied spirit is capable of
dealing in hard words, when it runs short of
arguments.
CLTTM ATEB AND PENULTIMATES.
To return to the discouise, the speaker pro
ceeded to give a synonym for a "human ewtome,"
by declaring that man stands physically upon
the surface of the earth, the ultimate of all that
bus gone before him. lie is endowed with life,
motion, instinct, mind all of which tbe bean
has, and some of which have been bestowed
upon the vegetable. But he has in addition an
Individualized spirit. The speaker did not desire
to deny this to beasts and vegetables, but while
tbey may have something approaching it in the
ageteeate, tbey are without an individualized
entity like man.
THE REASON WHT.
For fear some Impertinent people might be
inclined to raise a question as to why the process
ot animal and vegetable development had paused
when it arrived at tbe "individualized entity"
of mau, the speaker stated that old mother
earth was now in ber dotage, and bad therefore
ceased to be fruitful after this faBbion, just as
human beings and the beasts of the field ceaso
to be fruitful alter arriving at a certain age.
THE PROPELLING FOWEB.
All these disconnected facts and doctrines led
Mr. Fortter or Professor Dayton, if you will
to the conclusion that notwithstanding the im
penetrability ot tbe eternity of the past, some
controlling principle must have been acting
upon tbe primordial world. It could not have
been mere chance, lor there were evidences of
adaptation and design which argue the presence
ot m.nd and the action ot a propelling power.
The Spiritualist believes that it is his god spell
it with a little "g" by all means which 16 the
propelling power in tLe undulating bed of this
primordial existence. Therefore theSplrituallst
believes that Paul was entirely correct wuen he
spoke of "one God and Father of all," who is
above all and moving through all.
YET TO BE PROVED.
But Paul says further that God is "in you all"
in man. How?
Before answering this very material question,
the speaker Elated, parenthetically, that,
although chemists have not yet discovered the
existence in the human Dody of more than fifty
seven of the so-called elements, the Spiritual
istic philosophy assumes that all these elements
are to be found in the human conformation. If
they do not exist in tbe physical oody which
epitoinizcB the various styles ot development
tbrough which the acidulated alkali ot a vege
table has passed, their presence in tho spirit
is . unquestionable. The speaker hoped to
demonstrate, before he closed his present series
ot discouises, that this spirit is qui'.e as material
as the body itself; and he furthermore expressed
tbe belief tbat chemical analysis will some time
or other subtantiate his position.
UM VERBAL INCARNATION.
The speaker then recurred to the question
What animates man f The Spiritualist oelieve
that it ia tbe spirit of God tbat He is incar
nated, not only in Him of Nazareth, but iu every
man; and hence he can believe with Paul that
God is "in you alL"
Having thus effectually reconciled the teach
ings of St. Paul with tbe doctrines of modern
Spiritualism, he stated tout error must fall, aud
at once proceeded to topple over several "men
tal steeples" which the theologians had erected
to laspire him with reverence and awe. So
encouraged were the audience at this achieve
ment that they lost sight of the day and tbe
occasion, and were moved to applause. But
their straegliug numbers demoralized them,
and tbe attempt was little better tban a failure.
GRAND COROLLARIES O t THOUGHT.
The end of the discourse being near, the
speaker low warmed up under the inspiring
influence of Protestor Dayton, and closad some
what In tbe following strain:
What a grand corollarv of thought is here
presented I The world is no longer wicked, as
the theologians claim; man is no longer the
despicable creature tbey would represent him 1
Theology proclaims man aa fit naturally for
nothing, as fit only to be damned. Spiritualism,
on the contrary, proclaims him fit to live, for all
life rn this broad universe must somehow or
other be God's life. How can the creature ema
nating from such power and source, thoueh
finite, be crammed Into the confines of the
orthodox heaven or bell? Man must live for
ever, bis eneruies must constmitly increase, his
braiu roust leap up into still higher spheres of
thought, bis spirit must soar in future through
still more beatific iealms!
A POETICAL PERORATION.
This eloquent paragraph was followed up by a
specimen ol splriiuulihtic poetry, tho rythai and
rhyme et which we.e decidedly superior to the
general run of tuch effusions, and marked Pro
fessor Dajtou as an improvisalore of no mean
order.
Alter the poem, which commenced with a line
as high mounding as this:
"Client nature, tuv trtceudoiet scenes display;"
the speaker ani ouneed that "his medium." as
well s his own "individualized entity," was
much incommoded by the oppressive state of
the weather. The audience were about being
dismlsfed iu a very irregular fashion, when Mr.
Forster exclaimed tbat be desired to do every,
tbirg by system; and, raising one haud, he pro
ceeded with a benediction.
"Mav the white-winged messengers so Inter
penetrate each soul-presence, that It may pass
through this world "
In tbe confusion, iplrltual and physical,
which ensued, we lost the closing words, and
wended our way home, pouderlns on the strange
and, unaccountable freaks which the human
onl will Indnlue to when, without the aid of
divine revelation, or in direct conflict with its
teachings, it attempts to solve the problem
presented to the afflicted Job by Zophar, the
ttaanrethltet

Canst thou find oat the Almighty nnto perfec

to be on south Broad street any morning, as the
shades of night are mergitig into the haze of

avoid the weapons of the bands of gamesters
who trudge it then on their way to the "ra irsh."
Judging lrom their costumes and accoutrements,
too, you would take tbem to be squads of de
moralized "Rebs," of late war remembrance.
Tbey are about as numerous, also, as toeir
feathered prey, by actual count a bird to a mm,
and one man to spare. But they imagine the
sport glorious, and that's alt about it. They
don't care a fig for your opinion or mine, so
long as they can shoot or douse themselves to
the eyes in the odorous marsh. We think, how
ever, that the sport don't pay. Yesterday a
party of tome half dozen ol them all waiving
mud monuments came up Broad street, but
tbey bad bagged nary a bird. They looked
disconsolate, and the fair presumption is that
they felt so too.
