The following verses were read at the Second Annual Ej-'cnrolon of the Carpet Dealers, of Bos ton, July 11,18C8: Poem. We Carpet-Dealers meet to-day, As we have met before; We’ve crossed the water ’mid the spray, To reach Nantaskct shore. We now review the year that’s past In labor and in toiling; And if we’ve not made monoy fast, We’ve kept the “pot a boiling." Wo hero to pleasure yield ourselves, Aiuof from all our selling, Feasting upon rich bivalves, The BWtet sea-breezes smelling. We would a certain tale rehearse Connected with our .calling,— It’s over true, though said in verse, And may bo worth the telling. There came, upon a certain day, Three ladies, bright and smillng: “Your carpets, 6ir, will you display To suit the room for dining?" Upon the floor tho rolls we laid, And matched thorn up in order, ’Till finding one to suit, sbo said, “Havo you to fit, a border? But first please see if cut it will Five yards, two inches over, And match, as thus the room you fill, And nothing more than cover.’’ We. measuring, found the piece would waste, She said, “That will not answer; I’d rather sacrifice my taste Than pay for over-measure.’’ Another piece was then displayed, The floor was fairly covered; Attempts again at measure mode, s The right one was discovered. “A carpet for each room I need. Yea, one for all, If any; For parlor, sitting-room, indeed, And chambers, very many.’’ Onr hope to sell was then complete; We worked with hand and brain To measure, match and calculate ' Our object to obtain. For every room at length we found A carpcrio their taste; > A pattern not too square nor round, And not a yard to waste. The goal was reached, our time and strength Two hours, they were not wasted “We will now cut this piece the length, For parlor as you stated.” We cannot always havo our will, But sometimes work in vain; Alas! for all onr boasted skill; The lady spoke again: “My husband, sir, Is looking out, Of tond, a splendid lot; ' / And should ho find one that will suit, / He’ll build upon the spot. / The carpets we shall want, sir, then, / I think they will all do; X Tho time la yet beyond my ken, / And now, kind sir, adieu." / Tho story’s told; if any here , Can tell one that will beat It, We'll-all be clad this talqto hear, And with attention pbet It. And now may every one in turn Hlb thoughts In words discover, AdJ as we mingle! there discern In each a friehd and brother. Let story, sepiment or song With picture Dll the hour. Speak to liie point, and not too long, And then you’ll speak with power. As to another year wo look, Tplabor In our calling, Guide every action by His book. Who keeps our feet from falling. SCIENCE VS. SPIBITDALIin Professor Tyndall at a Seance. Tho distinguished English physicist, Pro fessor John Tyndall, gives the following ac count of a conference with the spirits, to which he was expressly invited by them : I did not got as an entire unbeliever in the facts. On the contrary, I thought it probable that some physical principle, not evident to the Spiritualists themselves, might underlie their mauifesta ions. Extraordinary effects are produced by the accumulation of small impulses. Galileo set a heavy pendulum in motion by the well-timed puff of his breath. Kllicot Bet one clock going by the ticks of another, even when the two clocks were separated by a wall. Preconceived notions can, moreover, vitiate, to an extraordiaary degree, the testimony of even veracious persons. Bence my desire to witness those extraordinary phenomena, the existence of which seemed placed beyond doubt by the known veracity of those who had witnessed and described them. The meeting took place at a private residence, in the nugborhood of London. My host, his intelligent wife, and a gentlemen, whom l propose to call Mr. M., were in the bouse when I arrived. I was informed that the “medium" had not yet made her appear ance; that she was sensitive and might resent suspicion. It was, therefore, requested that 1 should examine the tables and chairs before her arrival, in order to assure myself thut there was no trickery in the furniture. I did so; and then first learned that my hos pitable host had arranged that the seance should be a dinner party. This was an un usual form of investigation; but I accepted it, as one of the accidents of .the occasion. Tbe “medium” arrived —a delicate-looking young lady, who appeared to have suffered much from iil-heallh. I took her to dinner and sat close beside her. Physical facta were absent for a considerable time,a series of very wonderful narratives supplying their place. During these narrations the duty of belief on testimony was frequently insisted on. Mr. M. appeared to be a chosen spiritual agent, and told us* many surprising things. He affirmed that when he took a pen in hi 3 hand an influence ran from his shoulder down wards, and impelled him to write oracular sentences., I listened for a time, offering no observation. “And now,” continued Mr. M., “this power has so risen as to reveal to me the thoughts of others. Only this morning I told my friend. Colonel , what he was thinking of, and what he intended to do dur ing the day.” Here,at length was something tangible—an alleged capacity to divine one’s thoughts, which could be at once tested. I responded thus to Mr. M.; “If you wish to win an apostle to your cause, and to have your principles proclaimed from the house top, state what I am now thinking ot.” jAIr. M. reddened, and did not tell me my thought Some time previously I had visited Baron Heichenbach in Vienna, and I asked the young lady whether she could see any of the carious things which he describes—the light emitted by crystals, for example ? Here is the conversation which folio wed,as extracted from my notes, written on the day following the seance: Medium —Oh, yes; but I see light around all bodies. Writer —Even in perfect darkness ? Medium —Yes ; I see luminous atmos pheres arouDd all people. The atmosphere which surrounds Mr. D. would fill this room wi:h light. Writer —You are aware of the effects ascribed by Baron Reichenbach to magnets ? Medium— Yes ; but a magnet makes us me terribly ill. Writer —Am I to understand that, if this room were perfectly dark, you could tell whether it contained a magnet without being informed of the fact. Medium— l should know of its presence on entering the room. Writer —How? Medium—l should be rendered instantly Writer —How do you feel to-cUy? JJ/cdfum—Particularly well. I have not been so well for months. Writer—Then, may I ask you to state •whether there is, at the present moment, a magnet,in my possession? The young lady looked at me, blushed,and stammered: “No; I am not en rapport with you.” I sat at her right hand, and a left-hand pocket within six inches of her person con tained a magnet. Our host here deprecated discussion, a 3 it “exhausted the medium.” The wonderful' narratives were resumed; but I had narratives of my own quite as wonderful. The spirits, indeed, seemed clumsy vulgarians compared with those with which my own researches bad made me familiar. I therefore began to match the wonders which my entertainers related by other wonders. A lady present discoursed of spiritual atmospheres, which she could see, as beautiful colors, when she closed her eyes. I professed myself able to see similar colors, and, more than that, to be" able to see the interior of my own eyes. The “medium" affirmed that she could see actual waves of light coming from the bud. I retorted that I could tell the exact number of waves emitted in a second from the red table-cover before us, and also their exact length. The medium spoke of the performances of the spirits on musical instruments. I said that such performance was gross, in comparison with a kind of music which had been dis covered some time previously by a scientific/ man. Standing at a distance of twenty feet from a jet of gas he could command the flame to emit a melodious note; it would obey and continue its song for hours. So loud was the music emitted from the gas flame, that it might be heard by an assembly of a thou sand people, These were acknowledged to be as great marvels as any or those of spirit dom. The spirits were Uien consulted, _ and I was pronounced to bpA first-class medium. During this conversation a low and ott repeated heard under the table. ■/spirits’ knocks. I was e knock, in answer to a “No;” that two knocks and that three knocks In answer to the question medium, the response wa3 igoroua knocks. I noticed issued from a particular ifore requested the spirits to ,joe good enougn io answer the questions from another corner of the table. They did not do so; but I was assured that .they would do it, and much more by-and-by. The knocks continuing, I turned a wine glas3 upside down, and placed an ear upon it, as upon a stethoscope. The spirits seemed disconcerted by the act; they lost theic play ulness, and did not recover it for a considerable time. Somewhat weary of the proceedings, I once threw myself back against my chair and gazed listlessly out of the window. While thus engaged the table was rudely moved. My attention was drawn to the wine, sti 1 oscilla ting in the glasses, and I was asked whether that was not convincing? I readily granted the fact of modon, and.began to feel the de licacy of my posidon. There were five pairs of arms upon the table, and five pairs ef legs under it; but how was I, without offence, to express the conviction-which I Teally enter tained? To ward off the difficulty, I again turned the wine glass upside down and rested the ear upon it. The rim of the glass was not level, and my hair en touching it caused it to vibrate,and produce a peculiar buzzing sound. A perfectly candid and warm-hearted old gendeman at the opposite side of the table, whom I shall call G., drew attention to the sound, and expressed bis entire beliel that it was spiritual. I, however, informed him that it was the moving' hair, acting on the glass, that produced the rattle. The explanation was not well received: and Mr. M., in a tone of severe pleasantry, de manded whether it was the hair that had moved the table. The promptness aad tone of my negative probably satisfied him that my notion was a very different one. The superhuman power of the spirits was next dwelt upon. The strength of man, ii was affirmed, was unavailing in opposition to theirs. No human power could prevent the table from moving, when they they pulled it. During the evening this pulling of the table occurred, or rather was attempted three times. Twice the table moved when my attention was withdrawn from it; on a third occasion 1 tried whether the act could be provoked by an assumed air of inattention. Grasping the leg of the table between my kDeeF, I threw myself baek in the chair and waited, with my eyes fixed on vacancy, tor tbe pull. It came. For a few seconds it was pull spirit pull mußcie; the muscle, however, prevailed, and the table remained at rest. Up to the present moment, this interesting fact is know n only to the particular spirit in question and myself. A species of mental scene-painting, with which my own pursuits had long rendered me familiar, was employed .to figure the changes and distribution of spiritual power. The spirits wete provided with atmospheres, which combined with and interpenetrated each other, considerable ingenuity being shown in demonstrating the necessity of time in effecting the adjustment of the atmospheres. A rearrangement of our positions was pro posed and carried out and soon afterward my attention was drawn to a scarcelyiseusible vibration on the part of the table. Several persons were leaning on the table at the time and I asked permission to touch the medium's hand. “Oh, I know I tremble," was her reply. Throwing one leg across the other, I accidentally nipped a muscle, and produced thereby an involuntary vibration of the free leg. This vibration, I knew, must be commu nicated to the floor, and thence to the chairs of all present, and I intentionally promoted it. My attention was promptly drawn to the motion; a gentleman beside me, whose value aa awitnesslwas particularly desirous to test, expressed his belief that it was out of the com pass of human power to produce so strauge a tremor. “I believe,” he added earnestly, “that it is entirely the spirits' work.” “So do I," added, with heat, the candid and warm hearted old gentlemsn G. “Why, sir," he continued, “I feel them at this moment shaking my chaff. ” I stopped the motion of my leg. “Now, sir,” G. exclaimed, “they are gone. ” I began again, and G. once more ejaculated; “There they are!” I could, how ever, notice that there were doubters present, who did not quite know what to think of the manifestations. I Baw their perplexity, and, as I had sufficient reason to believe that the disclosure' ot the secret would simply provoke anger, I kept it during the seance to myself word; and the spirits were apparently in their most communicative mood. The knocks came from under the table, but no person present evinced the slightest desire t > look under it. I asked whether I might go underneath ; the permission was granted : so I crept under the table. Some of those pre sent tittered; but honest G. exclaimed, “He has a right to look into the very dregs ot i', to convince himself." Having pretty wall Assured .myself that no sound could be pro duced under the table without its origin being revealed to me (I had craved and obtained permission to place my hand upon the me dium’s and other feet, if I deemed it ne cessary), my host was requested to continue his question. He did so, but in vain. He adopted a tone of tender entreaty; but the -•-dear I ' spirits'”had become dumb dogs, aid retused to be entreated. I continued under that tsble for at least a quarter of an hour, after which, with a feeling of despair, as regards THE AILY EYEKING BUIiLETIN-PHILABELPHIA, WEDN the prospects of. humanity, which! had never before experienced, I regained: my chair. Once there, the spirits resumed their loquacity, and dubbed me “The Poet of Science.” * This, then,is the result of an attempt,made by a scientific man, to apply to spiritual phe nomena the only methods -of inquiry at the disposal of human beings. It is not encour aging; and for this ' reason. The present promoters of spiritual phenomena, divide themselves into two classes, one of which needs no argument, while the other is beyond the reach of it. The victims like to believe, and they do not like to be undeceived/ Science is perfectly powerless in tho presence of this frame of mind. / For Boston—Steamshmlnne Direct SAILING FROM EACH PORTEVERY FIVE DAYS.
