The magician firat aakrd mo for a . rerd-perr
and ink. a piece ol. paprr, and a pair ecirora(
and, having cut off . a narrow atrip of paper,
wrote upon it, certain forma of invocation, to.
aether with another charm, by which he profi a
r to accomplitb the object of the experiment
lie did not attempt to conceal theae, but readi
ly g-ava me copie of them,' which I 'compared
with the nricinale, and lotind that thry exactly
aereed Having-tartttert theae, the mefcin
ttitofflhe ppr, contoininjr Ihe form ol invo
cation, from that upon which the other charm
waa written; and cut the former inlo ix
pieces.
I had prepared, by the ma.(riciair dirrclio
ome frankincenae and, coriander aeed, and a
chafing dish, with ennie live charcoal in it.
Theae were now brought into the room, lorjeth
er with the boy who waa lo be employed, who
had been eatlr-d in. by deeire, from amon(r the
boy a in the etreel, retiirninp from a mantt'actn.
rv, and waa ahotit - eight or nine jreara of ape.
The magician desired my eervMit to p aume
frafcineen and eoriatider aeed into the chaf
ing dih , then, taking bold of the hny'a right
hanrt, be drew, in the palm of it, a magic rejiiare
In the centre he poured a little ink, and desired
him to look into it, and to tell him if he cntild
ee hi face r fleeted in it ; the boy replied that
lie iw hia face clearly. The magician, hold
ing Ihe boy hand all the while, told him to
continue looking intently into the ink, and not
to raiae hi head.
!! then look nnof Ihe little e'ripaof paper
inacrihed viththn fnrm of invocation, and drop,
ped it into the chnfing-iltah, upon the burning
coale and prrlumes which liad already fil'ed
the room with their amnke ; and a he did thia
he commenced an indistinct muttering ol word
which he continued during the whole pmeeea,
excepting when he had In ark the hoy aqueation,
or to tell him what to ay. The piece of pa
per he placed inaide the fore part of the hoy'e
ecullcap. ' He then aaked him if he raw any
thing in the Ink, and waa anawered "No ;"biit
about a minute alter, the boy, trembling, and
neeming much (tightened, raid, 'I r-ee a man
aweeping the ground,' 'When he ha dune
awecping.'eaid the magician, 'tell me.' Pre
aently Ihe boy eaid, ,'Ile ha done.' The magi
cian then again interrup'ed hi muttering !o
a k the boy if he knew what a Bg wa ; and
being anawered 'Ye,' deaired him toeay, 'Biing
a fl-ig.' The boy did en; and anon raid, 'He
hna brought a flag.' 'What colour ia il !' aaked
ihe magician : Ihehny replied, 'Ked.' He wa
In'd lo call for another flag : which he did ; and
aoon aMrr be aid that he w another broiighi;
and that it waa bhek. In like manner, he waa
lold to call for a third, fourth, fifth, ixth, and
aevenlh uhich hedeecribed a being auccea
atvely brought beore him ; apecilyiog their
colors; aa white, green, black, red, and blue.
The magician then aaked him, (a he did alo
each lime that a new flag waa described aa bo.
injj brought,)' How many flu ga have you now
before you !' 'Seven,' anawered the Uny. While
thia waa going on. Ihe magician put the aecond
and third of, the. email atrip of paper, upon
which the birma of invocation were written,
into tl chafing dieh , and .freed frankincenee
and coriander aeed having been repeatedly ad
ded, the fume became pair.'rtil to the eye.
When the boy had deerr ibed the aeven A-ige aa
appearing to him. h waa desired tt ray, 'Bring
the Snoltan'a tint, and pitch it' Thia he did ;
and in admit a minute after, he eaid, 'S,me men
have brought the tent a large green lent;
I bey pitch it;1 and prea-nt'y he rdl. d.'thry
have r-et It " up.' 'Now,' aaid the magician, or
der the enldier In come, and lo pitch their ramp
around the lent ol Ihe Sooltan. The boy did
a he wsa deaired ; and immediately aaid, '1 eee
a great, man? nldierr . wiih their lent; they
have pitched Ihe tenia.' lie waajhen told In
order lhat, Ihe eoldiera ahould be draw n up in
rank; and having done an, he, preaently aaid
thit he ew ihem Ihua arranged. The magi
cian bad put the , fourth of. the strip. o piper
into the chafiing dish; and eooq after, h did
the fame, with ihe filth, !! now aaid, 'Tell
aome of the people to bring a bull.,' The boy
gave tha ordar required, and aaid, 1 eee bu I
it ia red, (our anea arc dragging it along ; and
Ibey ara beating it He waa lold tooVaire
Idem to kill it, and to cut it a, and lo put the

dideo; and a.id, 'Tbey r eating it. Tkey

magician then told him to call lor the Soollan

He now addrea.ed himaelf to me : and aaked
me il 1 wihed Ihe boy to aee any peraon who
waaaheent or dead. ' t named Lord Nelann, ol
whom the boy had evidently never heard; for
it waa with much difficuliy thai he pronounced
hi name aOeraveral trial. The magician de-
red the hoy lo ay to the Smllan 'My mter

Nrlann bring him belore mine eye. Ibat may

almost immediately added, A meenger ha
gone ; and hna returned, and brought a man
drea-d in a h'ark nit of European clothe J Ihe
man haa lo-t hi left arm.' : He then patiard
or a moment or I wo ; and looking more intents
ly and dourly into the ink, eaid, 'No, he ha
not loet hia le'l arm, but it ia placed in hi breaat.'
Thia correction made hi description more rank
ing than it had born without il , eince J rd
Ni'li'on generally had hia empty leeve attach
etl to the breaat of hiacnat ; but it waathemoHT
arm that he had lost. Withoitl raying that I
atiapeclrd the boy bad made a mistake, I naked
the magician whether the nhj-ct appeared in
the ir.k a actually before the eye, or a il in a
gla, which makes Ihe right appear left, lie
anaarerrvl, that Ihey appeared, aa in a mirror.
Thia rendered the bovV description (a ill I lose.
The next person I called (or n , Egyptian,
who ha been many year eeaident in England,
where he haaadopted our dress; and who had
been long confined to hia b-d by illness, before
I embarked for this country. . I thought tt.al
his name, one not very, uncommon in Egypt,
might make the hry describe him incorrectly ;
thoMgh annthrr boy on a former vieil of the ma
gician, had deeeribed Ibie same peraon aa wear
ing a European drese, like that in which I Inst
saw him. In the present case, Ihe bi.y aaid,
'Here ia a man brought on a kind of bier, and
wrapped up in a eheet." The description would
suit supposing the person in question to be etill
confined to hia bed, or if he be dead. The lmy
described his face a covered ; and wa lold lo
order that it ehmild be uncovered Thi he did ;
and then raid, 'Ilia face is' pile; and he haa
moimtaches, but no beard ;' which i correct.
Several other person were euccewivr ly cal
led for; but the boy' description of Idem wna
imperfect. He represented each object aa ap
pearing le.e dtetinct than the preceding one ; aa
il hia aiifht wa gradually, becominej dim ; he
wns a minute or more, before he could give any
account of the pa-rson he protease) 'o aee to
wards Ihe clie ol the performance t and the
magician vaid it waa uweleaa lo proceed with
him. i - i : i "
Tluuigli completely puzsled, I waaaomewdat
disappointed with hi performance, fur they
fell short of what ho had accomplished in many
instances, in presence nf certain of my. friend
and countrymen. On one of thean occaaion.
an Englishman preeent ridiculed Ihe perform
ance and seal thai tmthicg would satisfy hint
tun" a correet description of hia own father, nf
whom, he waa sure, no one of the company dad
any knowledge. The boy, accordingly, having
called by name (or the peraon alluded to, de
scribed a man in a Frank dree, of course, with
hia hand placed to hi head, wearing spectacles,
and with one Im4 en Ihe ground, and ihe other
raised behind dim aa if he wete stepping down
Irom a seat. ' The description waa exactly true
in every respect ; Ihe peculiar position 'of the
hand waa nceaaioned by an a I moat eonatant
head ache f and lhat n' thn font or leg, by a stiff
knee, caused by a fall Irom a horse, in hunting.
I am assured that, no Ihia occasion; he accu
rately described each person and thing that waa
called lor. On another occasion, Sliakeepeare
waa deeeribed with the moat minute correctnee
both aa to person and dress , end J might add
several other cases in which the same magician
haa excited aatonielunent in the sober mind- of
Englihhuien of my acquaintance. 'A r-hnrl lime
since', he ' prepared tha magic mirror in the
hand ol a young Engl iah lady, who on looking
into it for a little while, aaid that she saw a
broom aweeping Ihe ground without anybody
holding it and waa an much jrightened that she
would look no longer. . -
I have staled these faeta partly from my own
experience, and partly as they earns to my
knowledge en Ids authority of respectable per
aon. I tried the veracity of another boy on a
subqieot occasion in' the same manner, and
tha result waa the same. Neither I nor othera
have been able to obtain any clue' by which to
penetrate the myeiery.

evidence fills two column of the Montreal H-r-aid,

Ihe neighbors and clergymen aho knowing and

of the Herald tells the story : ,
: "In a Conadian winter, when our houses can

eight or nir.e passengera, male and female, and
aa they were crossing Ihe bridge at this point
one of Ihe former rnmaiked that one evening,
thirty year a before, be had been rrosaing the ri
vera! Ibe very spot, in a stsgs-coacb filled with
passengers as now; that the bridge aa il then ex
isted was a miserable rickety old structure, rea
dy lo fall on the leaat provocation; lhat Ihewa
teranf the river were at that time very much
swollen in consequence ol a sudden freshet: and
that when the coach got about midway on the
bridge, one of the supporters gave way, precipi
fating all hands into the dark and rapid waters
After grrat ado, however, the pataengera all res
rhed Ihe shore, with the exception of a little in
fant, which had been awept from ita mother'a
arma in tbe struggle, and which now seemed ir
reroverabty gone. ' The hearts of the patten
gera. however, were too deeply touched by grati
Hide for their own escape, and aympathy for Ihe
bereaved mother, to allow of their remaining in
active ; and tboae sf thrm according ly who could
swim, plunged again into the flood to make a
thorough sraich for at least the lifeless body of
their little companion. .,.-
The narrator binr.trlf was so fortunate a to

the place of tbe accident, and on taking it into
the bouse and instituting active measure for it
recovery, it soon gladdened all besrts by opening
its eves and reeognixing the face ot lh now over
joyed mother.. Tbe gentleman narrated the lit
