*ay, but ray soul went out in one great cry
Of wild rejoieing to behold him thera.
And at'hia feet I knelt convulsively.
Fondled his hands, and stroked his soft gray
hair.
"Father, dear father! is it really you.
Speak, ease the doubt that at my healtMh

Say that th* hour is merciful and true.

One moment—Juat one moment—did it teem
He smiled upon me. then my hope was o'eft
But oh, thuuk Ood, if only in a dream
I have beheld my life's beat friend once more.

A SEANCE.
_____ N Gooaotown
il II lir Mrs. Dr. Bolus
began practice as
a faith curlst.
M | 1 She had a framed
jf UJ I /f~\ y/!\ diploma in her
jJ \ ''parlor, given by
ll\vl snft IllfllthQ College of
li ll '\l I'll 11'IIt Cranks, which
||| |l 'H H ///II described her as

m IfiV 111 i ll lff hands and look

.JOHN II |Uj she would say,
Alkt j/I nffo " an d say these
J/] word ß filter me:
nothin" the mat
ter with my head; I aint got nothin' the
matter with my lungs; I aint got
nothin' the matter with my indigestion;
and I aint got nothin' the matter with
none of mine senses—allylujer bt
thanked—and may I never hev.'"
After this had been repeated nine
times, Mrs. Bolus said :
"Now you feel better, don't you? I
knowed it," uud the patient was sup
posed to be on the high road to re
covery.
As hypochondriacs are rather plenti
ful, it was not long before Goosetown
rather beliovod in her.
"It was such a refined way of being
cured," the ladies said} "and so much
better than pillsand It was not until
a case of cancer and two of consumption
had failed to yield to the treatment, and
a cordn-'s jury had censured Mrs. Bolus
and tnpdiotic relatives who had called
her in, that she felt her power waning.
Then she adopted a new idea, and be
come a materializing medium. A eabi
nefcwas sot up in her bask parlor, r
wmch persons of imaginative dlspo
tions saw the faces of their deportee
friends, and whence issued words or
wisdom, couched in language which
proved that Llndley Murray, Brown, and
other authorities on English grammar,
had passed on to higher spheres.
Many and many a seance was held in
that small parlor, and In the darkness
people were patted on the head and
lunched on the cheek. Widows who
could poorly spare the dollars they
dropped into the palm of the medium,
came there to weep behind their black
veils, and "hope It really was John,
though he never spoke that way in life,"
and giggling girls and witty beaux ar
rived In parties lo laugh at everything;
and Mrs. Bolus prospered.
Now the hahdsomost house in Goose
town was the residence of old Mrs. Nor
ris ; and old Mrs. Norris was fond of the
occult. In the days of the first rappingo
she had listened to the performances of
the wily Fox sisters, who have so lately
confessed that they humbugged half the
wiseacres of the day with their pliant
toes, and she listened with interest to
all that her friends told her of Mrs.
Bolus.
"I'm goin to havetho woman here,"
she said. "I shan't bo able to feel as
svre in her own house, with trap-doors
and slidiug-panels, f6r all I know. But
I'll have the seanco here in my blue par
lor, that has only one door; the key of
that will be in my pocket after the cabi
net is brought in. If any;.ling appears
it must bjp genuineund iiuving nego
tiated with Mrs. Bolus, old Mrs. Norris
got together a large party at S3 a head,
and bade her send the cabinet on Wed
nesday afternoon.
"You needn't come with it," she said,
"and you'll allow yourself to be exam
ined by the commltteo before you go into
it."
Mrs. Bolus acquiescod.
"I don't know what tho spirits will do,
of course," sho said. "I haven't an
idea whatwill happen."
For once she spoke the truth.
The cabinet arrived rather ineffi
ciently carried by two smalkboys; a lit
tle crowd assembled at the gate, and
Sara Jnne, the housemaid, replied to
the queries propounded to her, thu
Mrs. Bolus was to hold a dark seance
there that evening. A stout young man.
whom she had novor seen before, lis
tened with attention, aua afterward oi
fered to help the boys up the steps with
the cabinet, which was a large wardrobe
with a square shutter in the door, ami a
bolt on the outside. Just as they en
tered the blue room some one called
Sara Jane away, and when she returned
her mistress was looking up the cabinet.
"There," sho said, after searching the
door of tho blue parlor, " no one euu
play tricks on mo to-night."
Sho was somewhat excited. So was
Sara Jane, so was tho cook, for both were
to be permitted to view tho perform
ances on their positive promises not to
shriek aloud, whatever happened.
Mrs. Norris, who asked none bui
ladies, had delicately hinted that full
dress wouid be more flattering to tie
spirits, and tho guests arrived in cos
tumes that were supposed to represent
that condition in Goosetown. Queen
Victoria wouid havo banished them from
her presence, 110 doubt, for their bucks
were generally covered, but they had 01.
all their iinory; their lace tubus, th'-n
earrings, and bracelets, and fancy bit,i
pins, ami sashes, and bouquets of ro~, ►
It was quite a pretty assemblage the
crowded in tho blue parlor, an a r
garde,! the w.luut wardrobe with sum
awe. Mrs. Norris was habited in bla •
velvet, with her diamonds well display,' •
and her husband's minaturo about 1,,
nock; and on Mrs. Bolus's ariivai tie
lawyer's wife and the doctor's wife led
her to a bedroom, whence they shortly
emerged, conducting her.
"There nothing about her to play
triek? with," said the lawyer's wi
"That 111 swear to."
The doctor's spouse nodded.
"We've looked in her pockets and f<,
the hems of her clothing, and her bu<a.
is a wire ,e o lit Is all right," sho snio.
"And as sim , .to 1)0 tied, we've g
some tape , it ol your basket, Jit
Norris."
"Very well, said the old lady.
key of the cabinet is in my pock,,
And she produced it.
"Now tie me," said Mrs. Bolus, ";u
tie me tight; end sot a cheer into
cabin fit, and sot me onto It; and If 1
groan ilon't mind. It's only the taflawea.
Dont tueh me or come anear me. Tba
voices will be plain tonight, if figures
don't appear.
"Shut the door, Sara Jane," said Mrs.
Norris, "and put your chair against It.
Now we are all right."
Then, at Mrs. Bolus's request, the
lights were turned low, a semi-darkness
prevailed, and the guests sang, "Shall
We Gather at the lliver?"
During this performance Mrs. Bolus
slipped liei supple wrists out of the tape
loops, and had just covered her face with
a handkerchici prior to presenting It at
the peep-nolo and squeaking out a spirit
message, when a hand touched her head.
"What is that?" she shrieked.
"A spirit, of course," loplied the voioe.
"A spirit?" gasped Mrs. Bolus, "Oh,
good Heaving ! it is true, thou!"
"You'll find that out to your cost
Utter a word, and I'll blight you," said
the spirit.
"I heard voices!" cried one amongst
the audience.
"One was a man's," sighed Mrs. Nor
ris. "I believo wo are going to have
something wonderful."
"I shall die!" moaned Mrs. Bolus in
the cabinet.
The spirit meanwhile secured her
neatly to her chair.
••What au awful uoise!" shivered a
nervous lady, and at that moment u face
appeared at the little window.
"It's a man's!" cried Mrs. Norris.
"It's twice us big as Mrs. Bolus' is,"
whispered a guest.
"It looks like ray poor, dear Aminadab
in his youth!" sail) Mrs. Norris.
"Who calls me!" said the spirit. "DM
any one ask for Auiluadab?"
?t"I did," said Mrs. Norris. "Oh, dear!
dear! dear! Oh, Aminadab, is it you?"
"I have been permitted to return,"
said the spirit. "I shall now material
ize In your presence."
"Oh! Oh !Oh ! Oh!" cried Mrs. Bolus
lu the cabinet.
"My powerful influenoe effeots the
medium," remarked the spirit.
The door opened slowly, and all pres
ent saw a man in the room; a well-built
person, with dark hair, he seemed in .the
durkness. Ho stood quite quiet for a
moment, and then remarked ;
"It is with a great effort that I appear
to you. I am Amlnadab—we hove 110
family name in the spirit world. I desire
to embraoe my wife, but the room is
not dark enough."
"Make It dark, thon, my dear," sobbed
poor old Mrs. Norris. "I'm most dead
with fright, but I'm so glad to see you."
The spirit was seen to lift Its hand to
the chandelier, the darkness deepened
and the form approached the old lady;
It patted her on the head, It patted her
ears, it touched her neck, it smoothed
her hands.
"It's Aminadab," she repeated. "I
don't feel the least bit frightened now."
"He's touching mo; how natural he
is!" gasped the lawyer's wife.
" Come here, do, Mr. Norris," said the
doctor's helpmeet, and each by turn
uttered an exclamation. Everybody was
patted, and pawed, and lingered by the
materialized spirit. Meanwhile the me
uiiiin in the cabinet uttered smothered
i.loans, but no one heard her.
"Ho is kissing me!" shrieked Sara
Jane, at the door. "Oh 1 Oh ! Oh !"
"Mr. Norris!" said the old lady,
rather sharply. "I beg of you !"
"I have offended," said the spirit. "I
wiH return whence I came."
Ho upproaelied the cabinet, while Mrs.
Norris sighed:
"Don't be so touchy, Aminudab!"
But as ho passed beneath the chande
lier, it was extinguished : the room was
iu utter darkness.
Sara Jane cried out.:
"Oh, don't!" And then; "He's ovorsot,
me 1"
The dismal moans continued in the
cabinet, and no more manifestations oc
curred.
"I wonder whether it is not over,"
said the lawyor's wife at last. "Perhaps
I'd better light the gas and look at Mrs.
Bolus; she eems to suffer."
"Do, dear," said Mrs. Norris. "I'm
convinced. I'm a spiritualist forever.
That was Aminadab. Just so he used to
take his hat and bang out of doors if I
said a word. He was a very fine man,
but he had a temper."
By this time a light was lit. The cab
inet door was softly opened. Mrs. Bolus
was found bound tied to her chair, with
a handkerchief stuffed into her mouth,
and in an hysterical condition. They
unbound and ungagged her, placed her
on a sofa, produced cold water and co
logne, fans and smelling-salts. Finally
she spoke.
"It was a real spirit!" she said. "It
tied me, and stuffed the handkerchief
into my mouth. It was as natural as
life !"
"Nobody doubts tho manifestation,"
said tho doctor's wife. "How could
they? You certainly took no man into
the cabinet."
"Never will I try this thing again,"
said Mr. Bolus —"never!"
Maidenly a lady spoke out sharply:
"My watch is gone!" she cried.
"My diamonds, too!" said Jlrs. Nor
ris; "und poor, dear Aruinadab's minia
ture !"
Little squeals rosounded on all sides.
Everybody had lost some jewelry. Sud
denly tho medium uttered a shriek.
"My money is gone?" she said—"the
money you collected for mc, Mrs. Norris
—I had it in my pocket!"
"Oh. mum!" cried Sarnh Jnno, who
had Stepped out of the room, re-entering
with uplifted hands and eyes—"oh mum!
tho silver is all goue out of the dining
room ! and your bureau drawers are ail
bust open!"
And so in fact it proved. The house
had been robbed as well as the guosls;
and Mrs. Norris, rising in her wrath,
declared that she had been duped, and
that tho medium had a confederate;
sent for tho police and had her arrested :
and all tho while tho unfortuuato Mrs.
Bolus was perfectly innocent, and be
liove,! from her soul that n ghost had
actually appeared to wreak vengeance
upon her, and so swore upon her trial.
However, the affair was very simply
explained. Tho young man who had so
kindly helped the boys to carry the
cabinet into Jlrs. Norris's blue parlor
had concealed himself within it, and In
the character of a materialized spirit
had f :,d his opportunity to appropri
ate tin' iewlry, silver, and other valu
ables, which no ono iu Goosetown ever
saw again.—Now York Lodger.
How to Ijook l oung.
H>, is it that some men thought to be
so ol , ill look so young, while others
thoiij ! oung must still look old? The
caus. > very frequently in themselves.
Mr. Ift . "uce, on being asked the rea
son, id: "I never ride when I can
walk ; . nevor oat but one dish at din
ner; I cr get drunk. My walking
keeps v blood in circulation; my sim
ple diet eats Indigestion ; and never
touehi ."'dent spirits, my liver never
fears being eaten up alive." But he for
got to a,: ,ne of the greatest causes of
luting youth, "u kind, unenvious

humun face as tin l " itself.—N. Y. Lodger.
•Fohnntown Visitors to the City.
Altoona Time®.
Mrs. Kate Matthews and her only
child, wife and dauglitcr of our esteemed
friend, Mr. Thomas Matthews, and Miss
Frances Goff, daughter of Mr. Peter Goff,
formuuiuu of boiler inspectors for the
Cambria Iron Works, all residents of
Johnstown, are visiting at the hospitable
home of Mr. D. A. Reagan, of 1915
Eleventli avenue, this city. Miss Goff,
although only about fourteen years of
age, is said to'be quite an accomplished
pianist, beside being the possessor of a
sweet and melodious voice. Miss Goff's
fnther, just before the fearful flood struck
Johnstown, warned a number of his fel
low workmen of the impending danger,
but they laughed at his fears and left him
to seek his own safety by fleeing to the
hillside, which he did, leaving them to
their fate, which soon came, wiping them
and thousands of others out of existence.
An Kclio of th .Johnstown Flood.
Pittsburgh Leader.
This morning Adam Wagner, of Brook
lyn. N. Y., appeared at the Allegheny
mayor's office with the power of attorney
to take charge of his brother's trunk,
which had been found by the Allegheny
police a short distance up the river the
day after the disastrous flood. It appears
that his brother, Henry Wagner, with his
wife and two children were all lost at
Johnstown, and this trunk is all they have
been able to find that belonged to them,
they having noticed the finding of the
trunk in the Leader. In the trunk were
three policies of insurance iu the Pruden
tial Life Insurance Company on the wife,
father and son, amounting to about 6500.
He took the trunk with him.
