In certain conditions of the body, the - mind
seems to become possessed of a new and un
suspected power independent of volition—elu
sive and unmanageable as the plot of a dream
—to whicb we fain would give an agreeable
solution, yet are helplessly carried on through
a series of accumulated difficulties. Perhaps
the term “natural clairvoyance” will best de
scribe this power ; since, the eye of the mind
looks straight through all material hindrance,
anid not only perceives that which is beyond
tbp horizon of the bodily eye, but forsees what
ban nob yet come to pass.
Of course such experiences are retry rare ;
and os they generally occur at the most unex
pected moments, it is next to impossible to go
back, and ascertain bow the first impression
mikes itself felt. Once, only, have I been cbn
'fccioos of the operation of the faculty. This
took place in . Racine, Wisconsin, oh the morn
ing of the Ist of March, 1855. My bed-room
at the hotel was-an inner chamber lighted only
by-a door opening into a ; priva£e parlor. Con
sequently, When I awoke in the morning it was
difficult to tell, from the imperfect light received
through the outer-room, whether the hour was
early or late. A lecturer—especially after his
hundredth performance—is not inclined to get
up at daylight; and yet, if you sleep too long,,
in jmany of the western towns, you run the
risk of losing your breakfast. I was lying on
my back, with closed eyes, lazily trying to solve
the question, when all at once, my vision seemed
to.be reversed —or, father, a clearer spiritual
vision awoke. Independent of fhexjJbysicai
sense. My head, the pillow on which it rested,
-and the hunting-case of my watch, became as
transparent as air; and I saw distinctly, the
hands in the dial, pointing to eleven minutes
before six. I ctin only compare the sensation
to la flash of lightning on a dark-night, which
for the thousandth port of a second, shows you
a landscape as bright as day. I sprang up in
stantly, jerked forth my watch, opened it, and
there were the hands, pointing, to eleven newe
st tc» before »ix —lacking only the few seconds
which had elapsed between the vision and its
prdofl -
Is this, after all, any more singular than the
fast that a man can. awaken any hoar that be
chooses? What is the spiritual alarm clock
which calls ns at four, though we usually sleep
Until sis ? How. is it that the web of dreams
is broken the helpless slumber’ of the senses
overcome at the desired moment, by the’sfanple
passage of a thought through the mind, hours
before? I was once, of necessity; obliged to
cultivate thia power; and brought it, finally to
sneb perfection, that the profoundest deep
ceased as suddenly, at the pre-appbmted min-,
ntei as-if I had been struck on the bead with
a niallet. Let any one tell me clearly and sat
isfoctorily, how this is done, before asking me
to account for the marvel.
lint, in certain conditions, the mind also
foretea. This may either take place in dreams
dr in those more vague and uncertain J impres
tioas which are termed presentiments, j I, will
only relate s single instance, since it is useless
to adduce anything which is not beyond the
range of accident or co-incidcnce. J .spjent-fhe

dressing wyeelf.when Mr. Willis biirjrt into the
room, saying: - ;•
i ‘‘The peatman is below—perhaps he baa let
ters for joa. j Come tip in. the dining room and
you can see him from the window,'.’
. We thereupon went.* up the dining room on
the third and looked down into tfae street;
and there stood the poetmanjn, who, as soon as
he saw ns, held up a letter! at arm’s length,
holding it -by the lower right-band corner.
Though he whs in the street, land I. in. the third

I arose in the morning, vrith my head "full of
the dream. 'When 1 was abont' half dressed,
Mr. Willis came into my room repeating the
very words I bad heard in my sleep. Wo went
into, the (fining room together, looked down,
and there stood the postman, holding npfa.let
ter by the lowjer right-hand corner ! . OF course,
I could not read the address at that distance;
bat my name was'upon it. In this case, the
- circumstanced were altogether beyond my tjort
trol ;, and the jiteral roanner in which the dream
was fulfilled in every minuti particular, is its
most astonishing feature. Nothing was added
or omitted; the reality was a daguerreotype of
jtha. vision. Never before had my friend pa
ltered* myrooin at so early on honr—never he-
Ifore had myifiostman held op a letter in that
manner. HA coincidence only, the oconrrence
|is all the mhri marvelous, ]
I ! When I wall last in Florence, the sculptor,
[Powers, related to me a still {more remarkable
[story which hadcoma toi pass only a few day a
Jbefore my arrival there, A young" English
jlady of his acqoaintance, who was living With
- per brother in the city, was, bn terms of great
|intimaey and- affection with a lady of her own
(age, who was spending the summer with her
{father in-a villa among the' Appenines near
litoja. j This friend had invited her to visit
■ during the summer; she bad accepted the
Station, and the middle of'August was fixed
mas the time. Three weeks before, how
ir, the young lady bad a remarkable dream,
ieemed to hler that the day of her departure
the villa dear Pistoja, had arrived. Her
nk was packed, and early in the morning a
y curious looking oid carriage drove op to
eiye her. Phe vetturino slung her trank to
axletreo with ropes—a disposition of bag
;e which shb had never seen before. She
k her seat, nnd for several i hours journeyed
ra theivale of Arno, noticing the scenery,
kvbioh was entirely new to her. Several tri-‘
png incidents occurred on the way, and there
teas a delay occasioned by the giving away of
he harness; but towards evening she reached
the Appenine villa. > •
I As she approached thevillalshe perceived the
| father of her friend standing in the door with
a very troubl'd countenance. He came for
ward as she wis preparing to alight, laid his
hand on the carriage door and said:
J “My dnngh er is very ill, nind no one is al
lowed to see hir. To-night is'the crisis of her
fever, which w ill decide whether she will recov
er* I have made arrangements for you to
spend the night in the-villa of Mr. Smith, yon
der ; and pray Heaven that my daughter's con
dition will permit you to return to us to-mor
row f Thereupon he gave direction to the vet
(iurino, who diove to Mr. Smith’s villa. The
host received her kindly, ushered her into a
broad entrance-hall, and said; “I will endeav
or to make you comfortable fbrjthe night. That
will be ybiir room,” pointing to a glass door,
with green curtains at the end of the hall.
Here her drea n suddenly stopped. 7
| The next morning she related the whole
qtbry to her brother., jFor a jfew days after
ward, they occasionally referred to it: but as
he received information that her friend was in
excellent health, she gradually banished from
rfer mind the anxiety it bad caused her. The
day fixed upon for her journey at length cr
aved. Whatj was her astonishment, when the
identical queer old carriage of her dream drove
i|p to the door, and her trunk was slung by
tuples to the axletree ? This; was the com
mencement; and during the Iwhole day every
tning-occ’iirred precisely nS she had already
®en it. ToWard evening she arrived at the
valla near Pisooja; and the father of her.friend
stood in the door, with a troubled countenance.
He came fprwkrd repeating the intelligence of
His daughter’s illness in the same words, and
ordered the vetturino to drive to the villa of Mr.
Nmith. The [excitement end alarm of the
yjbonglady had been continually on the increase;
sp that, when [she finally reached the broad en
trance half and Me. Smith said;
j “I will endiavor to comfortable
for the night—that wiU- be your room,” (point
ing to the glais door with green curtains,) her
rterves, strung to their utmost tension, gave
way; and she fell upon the.door in a swoon.
Fortunately there was no ground for supersti
cfonrforebiodi igs. The crisis ipasaed over hap
pily, and the ’ ery next day sbje was permitted
t| nurse her onvaloscent friend.

Thou art a pretty fountain,” said o man, as
at the" base of a mountain in the East- herose
up to pursue hw way'after 'slaking his thirst;
“ thouarta pretty fountain,” said he, and pass
ed 00, no more to think of it again.'Sintil his
thirst returned* . Not so with another man, who
stood at the samo 4 Jittle, fountain. —
“ Thou art a sublime object!” said he. Now,
why this difference? "I will tell’yon, or fry to,
at least; .The first war thirsty, And; having
drank of ; the cooling spring, and, being refresh
ed, carried his, thoughts bo., farther.. It pad
served hispurpose well for the time being, and
he cared no more about it. The other looked dp
on it as the source of a mighty river; and, in
thought, be fallowed' its flow through the huge
forests of India, recaiving many other streams
. ah it rolled'along .toward the Ocean, thus, con
stantly increasing its volnme, deepening its bed,
widening its banks, and carrying on its yield
ing bosom vast ships laden with the commerce
of nations and constituting an arm of the sea.
Who could calculate the value of such a river?
Its uses, what tongue could tell; or what pen
describe? They, begin with the first thirst
■quenched at its gurgling fountain, and only end
with the burning up of the world.
Now, I have thought that we were in the
midst of more thah “.pretty fountains” here to
day. And, for the sake-of being better under
stood, I’ll call them girl-fountains and boy-foun
tains ; and now I’ll say .every little girl and boy
is either a good fountain or a bad fountain.—
Jesus, who loved little children, and loves them
stilt; said something about “ sweet”'fountains
and “ bitter’’ fountains.. I thinkbe'mcantyOod
when he said sweet, and had when he saidiftter ;
if you are of the same opinion, just bold up
your hands. Wall, IhavecaUedyou fountains,
and have said that you were either good or bad
ones. Which would you rather be ? If good
ones, say good ones; if bad Ones, say bad oBes;
You are fountains, then, and would rather be
good, fountains [than be bad ones. So far, so
good ; bat I did not mean, nor did you, that we
were fountains of water; no, not at all- What
fountains are you,'then? I guess you'are
thinking fountains; for you have been sending
out yonr thoughts to this day and ■ to this cele
bration for two weeks or more; and although
I do not know what those thoughts were, I
guess they were very interesting thoughts to
yon.. 1 guess so because you look interesting,
and our thoughts have a great deal to do with
oar looks. Little fountains of thought—did
you ever think*of that? Well, whether you
have or not, it is true. Take a person who has
learned to love, to think of God, and good men
and good things, and who has also learned to
think that every oloud has a silver lining, and
who has Required a,n ability to see it, as also to
see the hand of God holding the stars .in the
heavens, nnd the pearly dew-drops falling from
his fingers, and you will ever find him with
a smile upon his cheeks, and words of good
cheer falling from bis lips. The. truth is, such
a man lives in the sunshine, not because there
are no shadows, but because his thoughts carry
him beyond to the other side. Oh, it does one
good to look at soph a man 1 His countenance.
looks ns if it had been bathed m brightness,
loveliness nnd beauty. Take another—him
who will not think of God, but to use his name
profanely ; who was never kind or obliging in
all his life out of respect to Ond, but from pure
ly selfish motives; who acts as if the world and
every thing in it was made for him ; who Wants
the sun to shine when it does not, and the rain
to fall when it will not, and the frosts to keep
off when they will come, and his neighbors to
think well of him whin he does not deserve it,
and who envies everybody who is richer or hap
pier or better looking than himself; —my ! what
a looking roan be is 1 Almost any body would
say at first sight that be had lived on sour
grapes and pickles,, and that he had been fight
ing against thunder and lightning all bis days.
His anger-flashing eye glares mimic lightning,
and his impetuous wratby voice utters mimic
thunder, A common sense child runsfrom him
ns from the very devil. He looks bad, because
his thoughts are bitter. The features; of his
soul are drawn with horrible exactness upon
his face, with,only this difference— mind takes
a deeper impression than' matter can. Would
any of these,little thinking fountains hero to
day like to become such great bitter fountains?
If you would not, Say Nnl Well, I am. sorry
to say it, but let me tell you I- am really afraid
you will • for it costs conaiderable.to'be a good,
sweet fountain. Your fathers could raise.large
crops of weeds without any plowing or hoeing ;
but if they would raise great crops of good corn,
(hey must plow and hoe a good.deal. So is it
with your minds-4-they will keep thinking and
sending forth bad thoughts without much train
ing; but if you would have them send forth
good thoughts and more of them, they must be
cultivated; nnd,(his is the. reason why your pa
rents and frieffqs are. willing to give of their
money to buy Sabbath School Books.for you ;
and this'is, or should be, the reason why your
teachers spendtheir time with yon, listening to
year recitals of God’s .word; and.this also is
tfao.reasoa whyiyour superintendents question
you oh your lessons, ;and impart to you instruc
tion. , . - 1
Yon see, by these remarks, that these yonr
friends are wishing.to give 'direction to your
thoughts, so that they will flow, or ran'toward
the great sea of infinite love and goodness, froftn
which-flows the.istneamof redemption, fringed
on, either side with flbwers of jiromise-siexolics
from heaven. Godi help yon,- children, to.'love
to pluck those flowers with..thankful hands and,
hearts, and, in theaghtj explora that sea—not
that yna may ever hope to bound' it or to fath
om its depths,>bntithat you may-find employ
ment suited tp yonr spiritual natures, and grow,
larger of soul than, yon could hrany other pur
suit. .
-But yon are.not merely fountains of thought,
but fountains of feeUng-also; ■ May I not be al
lowed to call you feding-foimtainst And. O,

But good fountains have a place in this world
as well as bad ones. 0! lam glad of that.—
Are you not also, girls and boys ? I have seen
some of them, jond they were- beautiful to- be

there yon will see a: good fountain, and know
the reason of its being good: fur there, right
there you will feel your own heart made a foun

portunity of telling you that, though' yop are in
a world where are howling winds and-pelting
storms, nnd furious tern pests, and roaring, an
gry seas,' arid hungry floods,.and devouring
fires ; that there are [also here gentle zephyrs,
balmy breezes, singing birds and rosy bowers,
quiet lakes and gliding rivers, pearly dew-drops
and glorious sun-shine, and that you maybe
happy here, in spitej of “the war of the e!e
‘ments and the wrath of the sky.” Yes, I nm.
here to .tell you.that your hearts may be taught
even in this very wicked, and, therefore, very
unhappy world, to beat time to the harmony of
angels, and bh made fountains of feeling, of af
fections such os angels never knew. And.l am
here to tell you that jit is your business to be
happy. He who is nof happy, even iii this world,
must have made a great blunder—a sadandbad
mistake. But thank] God it may be corrected.
1 verily think that be means, that it shall be ;
or, if not, that the blame shall not attach to
him. What a sun hp has made and placed in

then how vast the nuuiber of objects of loveli
ness, grandeur and beauty—all evidently in
tended for the happinjess of man. Myriads of
flowers, clothed in rainbow beauty, emitting
odors grateful to the Ismell and Inspiriting to
all the man; towering mountains whoso peaks
have clouds above and below them, and receiv :
ing the first kiss of sunshine .in the morning
and the last one at evening ; the rainbow, born
in the moment, yet'spanning
bended by the band of “ OurEather;” the deep,
blue sea, flawing river, rippling streamlet, and
the dashing cascade ;-j-but time is wanting, ns
also an ability to furnish any more than a few
of the diversified objects of liveliness, grandeur
and beauty which roll in space, spring from ,
the earth, or that constitute a part of it. They
are above ua, underneath us, and thrown in
beautiful profusion ail (around us.
In the light of these facts, do yon not see
that lam justified in saying that-it is your
business to be happy ? And, that if you are
not happy, some blunder or mistake demands ?
Little fountains of feeling—girls and boys,
God wants you to be h ippy ; just ns happy as
yon can bear to be—so happy that your little
hearts will bound and cap for joy—so happy
that you would just as soon live hero “an hun
dred years to come,” as to go to heaven to
morrow—so happy, that you could lay your-,
selves down to die as qalmly as the smiling in
fant is laid away to sleep in its “soft cradle
bod.”
But remember the o:-der of God—“first pure,
then peaceable,” First good, then Happy.
Never try to bo happy without 'first trying to
be good. Aim to be gbod, and happiness will
certainly come and live in your hearts. Be
good, nnd you will have the elements of happi
ness within yon; and you can carry these with
you into a hut, as easily as you could into a
palace. And now you are asking down deep
in those thinking' fountains, “ How am I to
become good f” I am here to tell how, and
will do it now. Oo in thought, in prayerful
thought to Jesus, nnd go often thus. He loves
to have you come oftenj and do not be ashamed
or afraid to go. He came away from heaven'
to earth to convince or show you how ho loved
you; how he desired your feeling hearts might
know his love. Oh, he would a great deal
rattier yon would cemC to him than to stay
away. Gq, just nowl in thought to Jesus.
Make a thinking trip tj)-day “to the fountain”,
he has| “opened.” OH, lift up your thoughts
to theLamb.of God j” he “ takatli away the
sin of ihe world.” May ,the blessed .Saviour
gently, draff' you in. thought to himself, and
.finally to bis. own happy heaven. Blessings,
everlasting! blessings 'be upon you children.

SENATOR
CAN SP
Senator Sjeward reached St. Loais bn Situr- *
day night last, and was escortedby the Wide-
Awakes, to 3,irnum’s Hotel, from the balcony
of which he delivered his first dpeeoh in a slave
state, as follows!: 1
He said that fie had not cofte to see St. Louis
or the peopl i of Missouri, but to see Kansan,
which was e atitlod to his gratitude and respect.
Missouri could take care of herself; she did
not care fj>r Republican principles, but warred
with them altogether. If forty years ago- Jffis- ■
souri had chosen to be a free ,state, she would
now havq four milfiotis'Sf people instead of ode'
million. II). was a plain spoken man, andhere
was talking treason in the streets of'St. Louis.
He could not talk any thing .else if be talked
os an honest .man, hut be fotirtij himself out of i
place here. .{A ‘voice—“ You're at home.’’}
Here, said he, are the people.hf Missouri, who
ask me to make a speech, and at the i&ma lime r
there are laws as to what kind of speech I niay 5
make, llicfirst duty that you owe to your city s
and yourselves is to repeat ahd, abrogate eiery 1 i
law oh your statute. book, that pro/utpie man
from, saying what his honest judfngaiand sen
iiment and heart tell hum is the iruM.Yfjlingiyd
surprise and approbation on the. part of,,the:
crowd.} Though I have said these hard things
about thosto te of MlsAuri, ! have no hard senti- 1
mentis about it otl St J Louis,' for I- have, great
faith and hope—nay/absolute trust—in Prov
idence. What Missouri wants is courage,' reso
lution, spirit, matthoood— -not consenting ip fake
ouhf that privilege of speech that- slaveholders
allow, but fnsisiiiig. oh complete freedom' of
speech. . But I have full 'trust that It will' all
comeT-ight ijn the end—that in .ten years you
wilt double your popul itioo, and that in fifteen ,
or twenty years you will have four rmlions of
people.' To! secure that you have but, to. let ■
every man. who comes'here, from whatever state
or nation, speak- out what he believes will pro
mote the welfarej>nd interests of mankind.—
What surprised roc in Kansas was to see the vast
improvements made there ,within, six ypars,
Jsviih so, little. wealth or strength amppg her
people ; nn'4 ,whiit surprised nie in Mlfcspnri
