A RruvExir-tE I xtekiosly D evtuoreo Bov.—The C ruu, h New
iikroh paper edit*! by Rev Henry Weller, Laporte, Indiana, gives a
interesting account o f tlie spiritual quaSificaiiotx and experiences of
named George C.dder Johnson, of Grand Rapids, who departed this
life June 10th His inner life was opened in a remarkable manner, and
he frequently saw both dark ond bright .Spirits o f the other world
Among the most interesting of his experiences was the following beau­
tiful dream (so-called), which he had about a year and a half before bis
h - He dreamed that he was ‘"in heaven, in a beautiful garden filled
with fruits and flowers, playing with joyous children who were so kind
i
and gentle to him that he felt at home among them.” The thought,
however, came over him that he must return to earth again, which made
him sad. when a sweet little girl, whom he tenderly loved, threw her
arms around his neck nod kissed him, and told him to lie liappv, as he
■■would not have to stay long away from them, for io his ninth rear he
would come to dwell with them, and would never more leave the beau­
tiful heave a-world.' Ever after that be spoke o f the little angel-girl as
his own, and declared that should be grow up to be a roan, as lie felt
that be would not, he oonld never love nor marry another. The little
maiden seemed ever to be present with him prompting him to be pure
and sinless. When be prayed he breathed a prayer for her, and he
would often say he tried to bo goo -1 that she might not be pained ; “ and
if a naughty thought comes to roe, 1 try to get rid o f it ond not be
naughty, this will not grieve her, w ill i t " ’ What a beautiful gleam ©f
leaven and its parity and conjugiol felicity is here! Wc may add that
the boy was in his ninth year when he died, according to the prediction
mule to him by the little dream-maiden.

Rehabk^oi. e I’-jvciiolooical Cure.—The Boston &unlay Acte* speaks
of the case of Albert Putnam Dodge, a smart intelligent boy of about
fourteen years, who, while attending the Academy ut Claremont, New
Hampshire, became subject to fits By a repetition of the attacks his
bodily health declined, and despite o f the best medical treatment pro­
tracted for many months, there was every prospect of his sinking into
hopeless insanity, or even idiocy. Jn this emergency, and as a last re­
sort, the parents were induced to place him in the hnqds of Dr. Cutter,
a psvchologie practitioner of Boston. Dr. C. fouud him impressible,
and forthwith commenced n series of operations with a view to a cure.
At the end o f one week he was evidently much improved, and when
four weeks find elapsed, Dr. C pronounced him entirely cured lie is
health, and as bright and intelligent ns ever.

A few numbers o f yous- excellent journal have providentially fallen
into my hands. The subject o f the •• new era" has engrossed much uf
my attention for some time past, more especially since I became con­
vinced from proof amounting to demonstration, that mortals can hold
communications with the Spirits of the departed. I congratulate you
being the fearless and able chainpioa o f this eternal truth. I rejoice
that you have so many learned correspondents, who unflinchingly feud
on their aid ia sustaining a cause which is destined in the end to tri:nph over all opposition. The sneers o f the op posers w ill recoil on
themselves. Is it not passing strange that there is so ranch infidelity in
the churches ! Here is the very core o f the opposition It is, however,
what has characterized similar people in every age of the world. * •' *
i had thoughts o f presenting to the public, through your journal,
some facts by which I have become established in ray present position .
and as the whole are susceptible of the clearest proof. I give them to you
er my proper signature.
Some time since I was in the presence o f a writing medium, and re­
A stone wall is not a moving pow er; ergo, a stone wall is not a ceived a very impressive message from Elder Elisha Pute. long =incc de­
ceased. The Spirit o f Rev. Hosea Ballou aceompauied him. I was
motor.
A “ Perpetual Motion" should be a construction that starts the ius'nnt very anxious to receive a communication from the latter, bat was told
the last screw is driven home—the last piece of meehaaism adjusted— that he would communicate through another medium. Here was a fine
opportunity for a test I kept this a profound secret. Through another
constantly perpetuates its motion—never stops.
“ A New Greatiou” must, in truth, be a creation wholly ao.l totally medium, more folly developed than the former, who did not know that
even such a person existed ns Hosea Ballou, a message in hi# own pe­
iw—new in every essential and particular.
