A CHAPTER ON “RAPPINGS.” Whatever may be thlpresent state at advance ment of the human mind, and however the mutt end superstitions may be brushed away from our mental vision, there yet remains a lingering feel* ing -for the marvellous, which is ready to exhibit itself in sympathetic response to any unusual and mysterious production ot onr fellows. Whilst the world-is full of wonders,—wonders unfathomable, but “cropping out”; occasionally above the surface of thiogs, it- may perhaps be deemed a venial fault 'if men of intellect. are carried captive by .a trick, but the united sense of a com muoily .should never be suffered to give way be. fore shallow pretence, nor even when the influence is unfathomable, without first being satisfied that results worthy of the means brought into activity, can be made to flow from it.. .. . . . . . A season of comparative quiet to the intelli« gent world, was allowed to succeed the manifold Conjurations and wonders of the witchcraft age, only occasionally disturbed by such fellows as ■ Katterfelto,: v . ...«Wlih his hair on end, si his own wondors,” and-a Slight sprinkling of ghosts, here and there, whtch, after putting the community into a lather, forn stason, died away, and -left all calm and tin* ruffled the vast sea of public These essesi occurring at intervals, and producing ho*; thing sensibly good or . bad, ought to have been a warning-to us .to distrust the evidence of onr, s(nies,‘ir need be, when eny future phenomenon should demand onr belief in the marvellous. But the age of mesmerism at length ismyes, end, prwfo, every thing is set afloat. Thenceforth the floodgates of credulity are thrown wide open, ‘end tortents of wonders have been deluging us ever since, in every shape by which entrance could be firand into onr gaping receptacle* for the super natural. : The particular fashion for this season has just been introduced, by an artist of merit in that line, and the “mysterious Tappings” will now be heard in onr midst, by people of gravity and worth Some of these will continue to be sceptics, after seeing end hearing, with organs fashioned precise ly like others who will depart with the most en» thodastic belief. What of that! The turn of the sceptics wilt come some of these days, and those who are now made the victim* will have the gratification ol ■ laughiog at than, when some fntqreform of-mystery shall delude their feeble ■ senses:- Thin in tin and fall, whilst the material world moves on'in the old manner, regardless of the mighty thing* that are trumpeted forth from day to day*and which, if the half were true, the/in - nermost recesses of -the universe would seem I •ready to be unveiled, and “the great globe itself” i might hot escape the clutch of the explorer after < mysteries, but bo compelled to stand still, and tell by what authority it revolves, and whirls oe round in this endless circle of space. As said before, there are mysteries perplexing to tho aeeKer after knowledge, strown all. around. The ordioary and everlasting growth of animated nature, an mysteries as profound as.would ba the blotting out of the son from the heavens, if we did but reflect upon it; but that which is common we view with indifference, and rush with eagerness after the'strange and new; The peculiarity, how ever, of this ege-h-the tendency to popularize all iings,EO'that no looner does an unusual working lthe mind manifest itself in an individual, than the world mast be made acquainted with it, and money made by its exhibition, if possible. And this latter propensity i» what leads to so much hutnbnggery, by prompting people to feign a state of- mind- which may have been real in the first in stance, but cannot be retained or put on at com-1 mand. So it waa with the mesmeric subjects—• some glorious and strange views, and sympathetic action of mind with mind, and glimpses of the spirit world, were permitted to a few peculiar temperaments, when, immediately, the peripatetic mesmerize)* were upon os .like a cloud of locusts, and all sorts of possible and impossible things were shown—for twenty five cents a ticket! But of the “ rappinga." Well, from; the attend tion that is jost now shown to rnppings it would seam as though that .were a new way of manifest ing the presence of spirits. I confess that it is rather a bungling method they have adopted of conversing with us. 0! for the times when spir its visited mortals in the form of angels, clothed in robes of white, and with ibe power and design of benefiting men. They came not then sneak ing about in by-wayß and obscure rooms, where u few persons might bs congregated for the gratifi cation of an idle curiosity, or perchance to scoff and deride the whole performance ns humbug.— But this is not a new way for spiritual manifests tiona,'after all. Let the curious reader recur, to some of the ghost stories of times past, which in their day were wonderful enough, and be will find mijch the same sort of results to mark the pres ence Of tirn'invisible acton. Tbs ghost of Cock v Tape, which found so warm an advocate in the ’ grestDr. Johnson, (who by the way was one of tbs moitxapbretitious of men,) was of the order of “rappers,’! and so was. the ghost of Sampford Peverell; the latter being one of those mischiev. one (pints which worked all sorts of malieious tricks in aemall way, and frightened women and children from their propriety. .. The question may be asked, If these spirits are sn..wilting to be conversed with, and have the physical power of knoctupg with force agaidst a hard object, and even of removing chairs and-ta% i -bles from their positions, why can they not speak 1 Speech isless-fatigulng.than'work; and besides, the baeineßs could hs''transacted with so .much mots despatch in plain English, that it ought to be‘insisted-upon by the operators. Ae thers is always a lady in the case, why not call the spirits forth like the woman of -Endor 'did in olden time, wben tha dead Samuel came_at her bidding, and Spake to Saul;face to face? AK l were the-rap*, pings, dispensed with, it is to be feared that the whale of these accommodating .-spirits would be thrown into an everlasting deep., Oii a reeent occasion, in this-jcity, when some gentlemen were assembled together, and watching by nigbtjfor the advent of the rapping spirits, the approved incantations were successful, and assu rance being giyen that responses would be vouch safed to their questions,: various- inquiries were made, by several 'of the- faiihfut, and answered ‘At length it cam* to.-the turn of op* whose-feithwvtiis not so firod-in-ths truthof •- Vnyateries.

Editor—>l sometimes think that Pando* re’s box in one particular was a type of the news, paper press; as every one has an opportunity of letting hia complaints escape throngh it, thus ad- ding another unit to the sum of human misery. As my grievance is the latest of course it is the nearest to. that part of the box where Hope re., mains, end from' its cheering influence I am indu ced to believe that possibly some good may be accomplished by stating to the public what is up* permost in my mind. Indeed I have been request ed by some of my neighbors to make,, a plain statement to the intelligent people of Pittsburgh of some of our sufferings, and trust to their good sense to apply the remedy. ; The choice fruits Of■ the earth .are very, desire-, ble. To have them in abundance is the endeavor of the horticultnralist, and to obtain them cheap ly is the wish oT every buyer in the town; audit is a fact that for 6ome years past both parties in this neighborhood -have been disappointed, . The farmer has dressed-his grounds and-pruned. his trees, and watched the .buds bloom and their pe. tals fall; and seen the plump young fruit formed upon the branches; and when his expectations be came flattering, the unmistakable mark of the Curculio bore" evidence.that .a foe was abroad whose activity it would be impossible to counter act; and folding.his arms in despair he has left his | orchard to the ravages of the destroyer. The ap ricot, the plum, theeherry.arid tito peach, are now surrendered to this little guerrilla; and the desj I traction of these delicious grafts from Paradise will be the consequence of the folly of some ojf the worthless loafers of yoor pity, unless a check is put to their mischievous habits. Mr. Editor, I don't mean to identify these vagabonds with the Curculio, hut if I were to draw a comparison, the insect would blush at the association. There was a time when the orchards in neighborhood of Pittsburgh were vocal with the soogsof birds, and it was a charming thing to be awakened of a summer morning with their meW ody. Bat that time haß passed away. Our orch* ards am tuneless now, and; the Curculia is lord paramount. It is true the birds in their day would feast upon our cherrieß, but they always left us enough, for they only took; those which grow- out, of our reach upon the top of the branches. The i Curcuiio isnot bo generousagentleman; he is not I satisfied unless he has the whole. In the era of the birds the Curcuiio seldom or never made his appearance, for he well knew that a vigilant eya would soon discover him and mark him for a prey. The birds were the officers of justice that kept the villains in awe, or punished them for their wickedness. Butin the coarse of time an ally came to the Curcuiio in the shape of a wan* ton boy, or a back negro, with a gun upon his shoulder, just as the devil comes to the aid of the scoundrels who prowl about your city. The sweet songßtera of the grove became the victims, and sol eiety suffered, and still continues to suffer, from” the rapine of the little coleopterous criminals who riot in their excess of liberty. Thfl white boys are bad enough, but the grown up negroes are ten times worse. From the first appearance of a bird in spring, until the time of their final leave in the fall, they are sought for destruction. It is not to seek for game tbat fhese vandals tresspass upon the fields of the farmer, bat to mangle ond'destroy the tiniest warbler that cheers us with its song from the tree, or chirps , upon the bash by our door. Conversing the oth.' tW» sub ject, be mentioned an incident which occurred Jast. summer which should bring the blush to tbe'foce of every negro sportsman, if negroes are capable of Sloshing. A pair of red birds had. built a nest on a tree not far from his house, and the male whistled daily in sweetest strains the story of bis love to his listening mate. The whole family or my friend were made happy with their red birds, and they coaid talk of nothing else.. But their pleasure was destined to end in pain. One after noon a negro, with a doable .barreled fowling, piece, crossed the fence, passed over the field, and approached the boose. He stopped—the unfor. thnate red bird’s song had cadght his ear.- Cau tiously creeping along, he got near the tree, raised hie gun and fired, and the poor bird fell dead at hie feet! My friend’s wife, who saw the act, but coold not prevent it, declared that if she had had a loaded gun in the house she would have let the scamp feel its contents. The poor mate, bereft of her partner, soon disappeared also. And this incident, sir, is but one of a thousand which occur every summer. Can no remedy be thought of to check the evil? You townspeople are as much interested in this grievance as we country people? If we are deprived of one of the charms of counv try life, the companionship of the feathered song sters; and If we lose through their destruction the most delicious of our fruits, surely the good peo ple of the city cannot be indifferent to the injury done us. For if yon hear not the wild-birds me!. ody in your work shops and counting rooms, you can at least he brought to sympathise with ns, when you are made acquainted with the causa of the scantiness with which your market is supplied with'the most luscious and palatable of nature's gifts. I hope that a time will come when public sentiment will apply the remedy to the monstrotfs evil which I have endeavored to portray. : AGRICOLA. ID- O. S.
