'The eirenine_tances of the case are these.
Some ten years ago,
a young minister in the
town of L., in the state . of New York, "was
paying his addreqes to . n yontig lady, of the
:place. and after a short eonitiiphe.married
•
er.
They lived hippily Ltogether for.about
year, when the general quiet! of the Me
town was seriously disturbed by. the sudden
advent of a beautiful, dashing young widow
from New. York City. „
She seemed:to posseisTtlitiangepowe
seinatin-contact-with
her, and hermorning receptions, and even
ing soiress, were soon largely attended.; A
mong other things, it . was soon- noticed that
Mr. Tremorne, the, young, minister, called
upon Mrs. Riviere quitcc.ilequently,,but per-
sons charitably disposed ) imputed . these calls
to-his-zeaLto_persuade_thia_b_eautiful_youtig
lamb to become a member t of his.flock. A
bout this time Mrs Tremorne became the

ed bell proclaimed in a me lancholy tone, to
Mrs, Tremorne, the young pastor's ° wife.
One, year flew quickly by-again that bell
pealed forth,-but now its.tones were notes of
joy, for from out the portals of the old church
door, slowly emertes - a - gay - procession - , andut
its head, we see Mr.sTremorne, with a beau
tiful
female on-his -arm. Reader, benold the
second wife The dashing Mrs. Riviere,
has condecended to become the humble Mrs.
Tremorne, A smile of-triumph-seem,
wreathe her beautiful mouth, as they slowly
weeded their way underneath the. Arching
elms, that led from the church to the ,parso
-nage. To-a casual observer, that couple teas
supreraely_happy._Shortly_afterthis, a change
seemed to come over the young minister.—
His happy smile - s - had fled before the ap
_preach of a clouded brow, and a downcast
eye. ln his preaching,-it-was noticed that
he dwelt more than was his wont, upon the
rust - retribution - of •a - broketi law, and the end. ,
less torments of him, who dies in his sine.—

His wife has settled down into a steady house
keeper, but She holds little or no communi
cation with her neighbors. Little Clara Tre
morne is a beautiful girl Of eight summers.
At this .time, I passed through L. on ,a lec
ture tour. I had been very deeply engaged
upon the' subject of Psychology and Mesmer
ram in their applications to the discovery and
cure of disease, and fancying that I had dis
covered the long sought for connecting link
between mind and matter, I started forth,
deterinined to give my ideas to the
I secured the church in L for my lecture
room. The evening arrived, and the people
flocked in erowdS•to the church, to hear the
younc , doctor "who. could read a ,persta's
thoughts, and ,hold communion with the spir
it world." At the conclusion of the lecture
Fproposed as usual; to practically demon
strate my theory, by experimenting upon who
ever chose to present themselves. Arnow ,
others that came, upon the stage, was little
Clara Tremorno. Selecting her 'on account
of her peculiar suseeptib!lity, which I pey
ceived at a glance, I made a few passes, and
soon threw her into a deep mesmeric slumber
and from certain indication's *known - to the
initiated, I saw that she, would prOve to be
one of the best elairmeyants I. had ever met.
Presently,, white the attention of:the whole
audience was fixed 'ripen - her, -she arose, and
ettending her little
,arm, the exclaimed :
"Father, • come with me ! Let Us go to 'the
cemetery and yisit my mother's. grave. , Oh!
Father I Ivho ha broken off the little angel,
on the top of the monument ?" Then point
ing downwards with .her -hand, she suddenly
called out at the top of. her voice, "Look I
look 1 father, there is mother in the coffin,
just as she . hicks in my picture at home,"
overcome with emotion, she..
isank upon
her seat. All was confusion in, an instant.
The meeting. was broken Up. The next morn
ing it was reported that out of curiosity,
somebody had visited the cemetery, and had
found the monument upon Mrs. Tremorne's
grave, defaced in the manner described by
Clara., This incited still further -research,
and the sexton was sent for, who, when open.
ing the 'grave, found, Mrs. Tremorno, after
having been hurried upwards of eight years,
lying in the coffin, as fresh and as well pre
served as though shelad died but yesterday.
The story is now soon told. The physician
of and :myself Were summoned by the
Coroner to-attend on ;the inquest, and after
a careful chemical analysis of the remains,
we decided that Mrs. Tremorne had died
from the effects of arsenic, whichoua is well
known to the medical profession, will often
times preserve the body *dm 'putrefaction
for a long time. Mr..Tremorne was arrested

to themselves. It has shown that in less

Up to the present moment you have read
ily and cheerfully afforded the means neces

claimed it, and you have sustained it against
traitors everywhere, with a patriotic devo
tion usurpassed in the world's history.
The securities offered are such as should
command you ready confidence. Much ef
fort has been made to shako public faith in
our national credit, both at home and a
broad.- Aa yet we have asked no foreign
aid. Calm and self reliant, our means have
thus far proved adequate to our• wants,—
They are yet ample to meet those of the
present and the future. It still remains for
a patriotic people to furnish the needful sup
ply. The bravo men whb are fighting our
battles by land and sea must bo fed and cloth
ed, munitions of war of all kinds •must be fur

disgrace. _This is not the. time for any lover
of his country to inquire as to the, state of

invest his surplus capital as to yield him a
larger return. No return, and no ptefit i oan
