In a Goat Pocket.

iJy SOSAS COOLIDGE,

AsTLBY COOPER, hat iv liand, was juat turning the handle of the street-door, when » soft call from the sUir-top made him pause. "Are you going to the Post Office, Astleyt" " No, not exactly, but near it. Is there anything you want done!", " Only this letter to pest," and a girlish »hapa flitted down the stairs. Astley watched as she descended, and with sud denly sharpened recogniiion of the fact, »ald to himself, "What a pretty girl Rosamond is 1" - Brothera are not always olive to tnetr Bisters' charms, but the fact waa that rarely in her life had Eosamond Cooper been so near to perfsct beauty aa at that moment, •when «he came down the old staircase, letter io. hand; her cheeks flushed with deepest pink; her eyoa shining, and her red lips parted with I know not what happy stir of emotion and expectancy. Two long braids of. pale broffn hair, thick and glossy.Hke those of some German Gretcheo, hung down her back. Oa the fair forehesd clustered a fringe of light waving rings, not cut and trained after the conventional bang, but a happy freak of nature and accident. The slender figure in its white dress had all the rounded grace of youth and perfect health. Over all was an air of virginal freshne?s, indescribable but charming. It was one of those belmementi which come at times to most young creature?. But Rosamond wa3 too much pre-oc:upied to be conscious of her look 3, as she handed the letter tt> her brother, with fingers which trembled a little, and said anxioua'y, " You won't lose it, will you, Astley i" " Certainly not;" with a superior smile. Ha stuffed it caralessly into a side pocket of bia coat, a coat made.Jlike the rest of hu euit, of that immaculate white duck, in which the American swells delight to array themselves in hot July weather. Forth he went, cleaD, alert, handiome, the very picture of a luxurious young fellow enjoying a summer holiday. No thought of betraying Rosamond's trust was in his mind, and his steps were already turned to the Post Office, when a dog-cart drew up suddenly and a cheery hail roused his attention. . , . " Well met, old fellow. I was just going round to ask yen if yoa would like a game of tennis. The Porterg teat a note early in the morning to ask me to drive round to the Croft for luncheon and a game, and to bring you," "All right. I will." Aatley jumped into the cart and in another moment was bowling down the road towards Croft, a pretty place some three miles distant. Rosamond's commission was clean for gotten, ■ ' Tennis was followed by luncheon, that S; more tennis and a conversation under c shade of the brai^-Wng cedara which flanked the ground. Then pretty Mabel Porter proposed a walk, and led the way through a grassy valley to the gorge beyoud, where a little brook tore its way from higher leveh to the water meadows below. ■;'. The rocks over which the party climbed were slippery here and there, and io saving Mabel from a fall Astley himself had a tumble, trifling in itself, but damaging to the duck suit; so damaging, in fact, that the snit went to the laundress next day. Before its return the weather had chan ged to that odd, almost autumnal coolness which checkers and tempers the heat of American summers. It waa some time before Astley had occasion to wear it again. When it was taken for use, by mere acci dent, he was searching for something in the pocket, when his astonished fingersen coantered and drew forth a rather _thick, flat, hard square ot paper fer which he could in no way account. ii is firat sensation was one of unmixed bowildorment. "Why what on earth! A letter, and what a letter I"—and he proceeded to smooth the rumpjed mass on the table. A few faintly written characters were discern able on what had been an envelope.

Mr Dw - Edgar, P. Box 5-

Hew V— "Dwigh Edgar. Why, vrhat does this mean. I have had no letter trom him," reflected the astonished Astley, still intent on the disorganized fragments. " Bat stay —This isn't a letter from him—hut to him. How could it get into my pocket?" , Here and there a sentence could be made out or parts of sentences. "I am so very, very happy, but I can't tell you ahout that until "—" Ought to have got your letter four days ago."—"So you needn't go to Europe you see, for"—and then a blurred tignature. "Come soon to your own Bos "-— It flashed across him then. This was the letter which Bosamond had aiven him to poßt font weeks ago. It had lain in his pocket all this time, and had none through the wash besides 1 Here was a pretty kettle of fish! Quickly hia mind ran over the disjointed Sbrases, reading the half-obliterated mean ig " between the lines." The letter was in reply to an offer from Edgar, there could be no doubt of that. Aatleyhad always snspected that there wa» a tenderness in that quarter. And Rosamond had «aid " yes." What must she have heen thinking and feeling all these weeks ? And then a groan escaped from Astley, : m it flashed upon his mind that only a fort i night since he had read Dwight Edgar's name in the list of the sailed for Europe; 1 read it aloud, with some careless cam £ jnent. - Bosamond was in the room, he recol lected. .What had she said? Had she [ said anything? He seemed to remember (has she got up quietly and left the room. i How should he ever tell her ? And what use to tell, when Dwight was gone, gone | for years at likely as not? Ob, what had his carelesineis done? "I snppose he went because he thought she would have nothing to say to him," he Skid to himself, miserably. r: The sound of the dinner-bell interrupted his unpleasant meditations and he went down feeling as if he ought to be hanged. Bosamond was In her usual place, neat, graceful, smiling even; bat studying her lace with awakened attention, Astley thought that he detected effort in the smiles and -the cheerfulness. The sweet face was a little thinner j the wild-rose bloom, which was its characteristic, had paled to a fainterpink, and Astley heard his mother ask, "Headache again, my child?' ' And caught the pa'ient answer, "Jnst a little." ■:>'] With increased remorse he execrated his carelessness What ou^ht he to do ? What co aid 'he do 1 Long and deeply did he study over the question. At last he took a half-manly half-cowardly resolution. Confess his de linquency to hi 3 sister, he absolutely darea not, but that night he wrote to Dwight Edgar, made a full exposition of his fault, and enclosed the fearfully blotted scrap which said co little and meant so much, This done, he set himself to wait for the moment when he could produce evidence that, nc far as in him lay, he had made amends for his misdoing, and till then he re solved to be silent. Astley was right in his guess. Dwijsht Edgar had gone to Eu'ope a deeply dis appointed man, In the letter, to which Bosamond's was answer, he had written, " Don't say no. I could not bear that, nor could I give your gentleness the pain of utteriug the word, I will wait two weeks, and if at their end you have said nothing, 1 shall go abroad, and travel till l.e«n bear te come home again." Not a wise arrangement this, considering what chances and chaDges, including Post Office laxities, are involved in this mortal life; but lovers are not always wise. The two weeks passed without word or token 5 each slow day deepening his hope lessness, and at their end he sailed. Hia final arrangements were made in a hurry, and he had been glad to accept a friend's benevolent offer of half a stateroom on the over-crowded steamer. It was benevolence Very poorly • rewarded, for John Blagden found him very dull company. For the first few hours he made some tittle effort at conversation, then he dropped all pretences and sat in moody silence, storing at the dim backward horizon bom which each otroke of the paddles carried theu» farther and farther. • It was bo better after they reached Lon don. The two meu took a tpA of rooms to gether at the JL&Egkam, but to all plans for pleasuring D vvigut turned a deaf ear. if'iGp byjojuself, tljftt'a a feJipw," Ae t ßssar i- ;I ."vypn't bore yx>u wjLt|i my 4jil» ness. I'll just ait here till poai and ieafi. tjie Ajucriean newspapers,"

"And that is wbat I left him at," ex. .lamed Johußlagdcn to a mutual acquain ance encountered the coffee-room. 'Poring over an old "Herald," twelre days out —what an occupation for a man to tike up in Loadon ! "Poor D;vigbt, I never sew a fellow so changed in my life He's all cut up about omething, and I wish I knew what, for really I have uo notion^what 1 ought to do about Him. Nothing I en fay makes any difference."

And nothing did make any difference till a week after this conversation, Mr Blagden returned from an excursion to Hampton Oourt, to find his friend busily engaged in cramtnfcu his oelongings into a portman teau, with a light in his eyes and a colour <\x his cheeks which made bim seem a different man, "Halloa! I'm glad you ye come, old ''cllow, I'm off at once." "dh I Where to I" " Home. Liverpool train at nine o'cldck, and catch the Bohemia." " Home? The States? Why, wbat does it mean ? You were going to Paris with me on Tuesday, you said." « Vfell—so I did intend, "but I've had Utters and must get back as soon as pos sible."

■'Nothing wrocg, I hope." "Not at all; quite the contrary. Every thing is light." Marvelliog grfatly, Johnßlagden turned totuetible, whe c amid newspapers and torn wrapper?, and other symptoms of a just-arrived mail, lay a sheet of closely written paper with a little heap on it of simething odd and blotted, " What's that ?'' he asked, with a Datura! curiesity, <tooping to examine it. ' ( Dwignt Edgar snatched it up 'fit's -it's nothing." he explained, "only a Utter I've had." Then breaking into a laugh at his ftiet.d's discomfited counte aaiice, the first real laugh which John had heard him give since they left America, he added: " Never mind, old boy, I'll explain some 'ay. It's all right, at least I hope it is, and ( know I've ben a dull unsocial dog all his time. You've been awfully good to out up with me, and I'll try and make amends next time we meet." Meanwhile the days were passing heavily enough in far-away America where Rosa ■nond bore her secret pain. She had kept rhe knowledge of her plighted faith as a choice secret, not to be revealed till Uwight should come. When he failed to come, pride kept her silent still. The news of his departure struck in her heart a blow. What did It mean? " I will not be base, or little, or SHsplcious," she said to herself; " there is some blunder. He will come back, he will explain." But weeks of suspense and uncertainty passed. She could school her words and manner, but not her face, and that fair face began to look piteons and wan. Astloy, watching with compunctious an xiety, felt an ever-deepening heart-ache. Three weeks had pasted since his letter of explanation was posted. Any hour might bring a response, and he haunted the Post Office with a pertin-.city inexplicable to his father. ■'I can't stan 'it muco. longer, he tola himself. "If that fellow isn't heard from to-morrow night, I shall make a clean breast of it to Kosy and confess the whole thing." And the nexr evening, "that fellow" still not being henrd from, he did it. ■{osamond, spirit-fair and fragile in her whi'e dress was sitting on the doorstep ia the moonPght, and fitting at her feet, he plunged into nudias res, " Hose, do ynu recollect a let'er you gave me to post more tban a month ago. " Yes " "Well, 1 forgot it."

"O, Astley!" " Yea; it was in my pocket, you know. I was going straight- to the office, but some thing interrupted me - lawn tennis at the l'otter3',l believe -and then 1 seni my coat to the wasb, with the letter still in it. I never foutid it out till the confounded thing came back, and some days after, as I put It on, I happened to feel in the pocket, and there it was—wbat was left of it."

Rosamond sat perfectly still. Not a -ound.came from her lips. Astley waited on Instant, as If in hope of an answer, then went on:

"Ro?y, darling, you mustn't mind, but I couldn't help seeing who the letter wan for, and that it wa3 something of conse quence. It was all blotted and blurred, but a word could be made out here and there. I waa awfully cut up about it. 1 couldn't bear to tell you, and I didn't know what to do. At last I wrote a full explanation to D wight, and I put the scraps in my letter." " Astley!" There was a ring of hope and dismay in the exclama'ion. So absorbed were both that neither noticed that some one swung the gate just then. "Yes, I did. It went three weeks ago yesterday, and by to-morrow you ought to hear from him, that is, if he happened to be in London when the mail Rot in. I didn't mean to tell yon till his letter came, but I could wait no longer. JuH say you forg—why-what is it?" aa Rosamond sprang to her feet with a cry of " Dwight I Dwieht 1" "She's fainted I" exclaimed Astley in an awestruck tone, as his sister's head dropped heavily on his arm. But happinesi U a better restorative than burnt feathers, and in a little time Rosa mond was able to assure Astlpy of her forgiveness, to smile and ask questions, and finally to be left on tbe d"O-step for a long moonlight talk with her truant correspondent. When I saw Mrs Dwight Edgar at New port last year she wore on her wrist a slender chain to which was attached a locket whose lid was a big moonstone. Within was a singular little wad of what looked like paper which had been wet and pressed together. When I a?ked what it could be, slie answered, evasively: " Ob, papier mache; a bit of an old letter, which I) wight makes me wear. There's quits a / queer story about it, but it's too long to tell." Her husband chuckled, and later, seeing that I was carious, he told the story which I have told to you. " And you never saw anyone so reformed aa Astley is ever since theD," added Rosa mond, with laught'r in her voice. " He's the most particular creature you ever saw, always fidgetirg and fussing for fear he may have forgotten something If he lives to be a hundred you may depend upon it he will never again forget another letter in a coat pocket."—"Youth's Companion."

SPIRITUALISM; The Various Theories Examined.

" The spirit that I have seen •'•/.' ■ May be the devil; and the devil hath power To assume a pleasing shape 1" -,: •■•'_. —Hamlet, (To the Editor of tbe Evzning Stab), Sib.—l would again, with your permission, offer a few remarks on the subject of Spiritualism; and this time I address myself lo the gentral reader, and not ex clusively to exponents of pbyßiejl science. My former communication, headed " A Medium in Spite of himself," has elicited but one attempt to explain on physical grounds, tho occurrence described therein ; but while much indobted to " T.G." for his letter, I cannot accept Dr. Carpenter's hypothesis of " unconscisus cerebration" as an explanation pf my experience. I possess in a high degree the power of analysing the nperatioos of my own mind, and -I never lost consciousness during my trance, and was, during Its continuance, engaged in an analysis ot my sensations—a fact which does not at all accord with my ilea of " unonscioiis cerebration.'' The iheory of animal magnetism also_ seems un satisfactory ; for though I admit that, by means ot this subtle force, men may be thrown into a dangerous delirium, I em phatically deny that such was the case with me. It appears incredible tnat a person in full health, sitting in a social cirple, sbou'd receive a shock with the suddenness of lightning which i-hould have the effect of throwing him into a raging delirium • that he should remain in that Btflte for five or ten minutes; apd that be should then emerge from it without suf fering any evil consequences. My pulse after the .trainee was as tI"W and equable as it usually is. my brain clear aud col lecleo, and my physical condition normal, i'o believe tbat 1 had, in a few mnute-, passed through the stages intervening be tween health, acute disease, and back to health aga: n, wit/tout knowing it, and without any after symptoms being appa rent, demands as great an exercise of credulity as does the Spiritualistic theory. I have had brought under my notica privately the theory of Professor 2;Bllner of a "fourth dimension of space." This, of course, implies an admi.sion of the exis tence of beings .whom we designate " spiritual j" and until the theory is proved true offers no scientific explanation of the extraordinary -phenomena observed by Zoll ner .undxjr glade's mediumship. "I have also i if^i ved other jroiritualiatic evidence, in the

shape of the testimonies of' prominent men regardingoccurwnces witnessed and verified by them ; hut a* I have reached the stage at which thi« kind of evidence ceases to be cumulative, I cannot say_ that this testimony has made any impression upon me. Ma thematicians should be able to tell whether ZBliner's theory is at all admissible. A gentleman has informed me that he had a similar experience to mine, though not so intensified, on the. occasion of Pro fessor Denton's last lecture in this city, and this would Beem to ally the sensations with those of people who shou', scream, dance, and see visions when excited by revivalist preaching. I have been told of one such religious gathering where the whole assem blage were cait into an ecstafc trance, and there was heard the sound of a wind or other invisible element sweeping through t"ie room. These experiences would seem to be due to the influence deaciibed in Scripturo as "The Holy Ghost," ra'.her than to the power of departed spirits or of animal magnetism. Peligioua excitement, like Spiritualistic trances, appeals to have a bad effect on the mental system, and this fact offers a presumption of the causes being identical, and of these causes being physical; but no more than a presumption exists—bo backward is physical science in all that pertains to the connection between Mind and Matter.

Since 1 last wrote I have had the benefit of hearing the Key Dr Wallis explain the oudiumfhip of ancient and modern times in i single aeu'ence, and I have aho had the pleasure of reading:. Mr. Mackcchnie's lengthy paper on " The Visionary Faculty of Mind " Dr Wallis'B lucid exploration of tae whole matter i 9 that it is " all impos ture aud,delusion," and Mr Macktchnie's ling disquisition on the philosophy of visions and spirit commuuion may be summed up in one word—" Disease " The foimer explanation may be dismissed as being founied on igaoraoce and conceit, since it is evident that Dr Wallis has not looked into the subject, and has an over weening .'ensc of hi* own superiority, or he would not thus stump as fools or rogues thousands of men possessed of far higher abi'ities tban himself. Mr Mackecbuie's theory is that "seers" suffer from a 'diseased brain, caused by want of nutrition, but he seems to forget that Swedenborg's first spiritual vision took place in London, ■when in peifect health, and after partaking of an un asuallyheirty meal. Indeed, I have never heard it asserted of Swedenborg (who was a man of strong practical sense, and who never showed any signs of being a "vfrion ary" until he had reached mature yea's) that he neglected tbc nourishment of his body in any way. Therefore the fact of Shelley and Blake neglecting the taking of food, and having trances in consequence, doss not prove that Swedenborg's trances were similarly produced; and the theory iB valueless when applied to the visions of Spiritualist', many of whom are of full habit of body, well-nourished, and experi ence their contact with spirits when in their normal state.

1 have also heard the lecture of Mr C. O, Montrose, a Spiritualist and medium, on thesubjectof "The Spiritual Borderland," in the courae of which he traversed pretty nearly the whole field of the phenomena. His conclusions are well worth considera tion, being based upon a lengthy experi ence. He believes that the generality of the spirits are of a very low order, if not of, a diabolic nature ; but tbat (hey arc possessed of superior sources of informa tion, and power over matter and its forces, than the human race has yet attained to. tie believes also that the practice of mediumship is inimical tobodly and mental health, and is of no practical utility, and he therefore altogether discourages the pur suit. The:e conclusions', though those of a firm belitver in the reality of spi'it-com cnunion, agree to a great extent with the opinions of many Christian people and the • xperience of physicians. Honest spirit ualists generallyadmit that the "influences" arc mixed, and are often of an evil and debased or "sub-human" character, and this admission seems to me to involve the concession ot the diabolical theory which is held by many orthodox Christians. If a low spirit tray personate a humau being in any one instance, and offer opparcntly satisfactory proofs of iden tity, then xhero may be personation and imposture in every cuse; and not even the most crucial "tests "will afford a guaran tee against error. The theory of sub human spiritual agency supplies an ex cellent working hypothesis.since i« explains well-nigh all the phenomena, if its truth is assumed; but for obvious reason", this theory is ai objectionable to Materialistic philosophers as that which attributes the phenomena to the spirits ot men. If we proceed on the assumption of dia bolical agency, we cease to wonder at the Biblical ban pronounced on all those who "have familiar spirits," or in any way practise mediumistic arts, and we find sufficient reason for the Christian Church discountenancing these practices in the present;' day. If angel • com munion, or communion with tbe spirits of tbe departed, were proved, it would be the duty of Christian people to cultivate mediumship; but so long an there is imposture by immoral spirits, and so lorg aa the conditions by which we may iafallibly "try tbe spirits" are unknown, it is an act of prudence to hold aloof from the "inflaences." Atheists, sceptics.and all who have any doubt of the reality of spirit existence and the continuance of human 1 fe beyoud the grave may, however, find m'ich profit by engaging in the enquiry ; and it is alleged by some Spiritualists tha' tie best manifestations occur in " circles " composed of Freethinkers and Materialists But for my own part I am singularly averse to tbe theory of diabolic agency, an aversion which springs perhaps from my disbelief in the orthodox "devil and bis angels" Jh the words of the German piet—. .

" Ich glanb' nicht an den Boson, 1 An H6U, und Hb'Uenschmerz," and cannot tolerate the idea that a low set of invisible.and malevolent beings should have the power to make immoral and debasing suggestions to my mind; It does not seem at all a diabolic mission to demonstrate the reality of spiritual ex istence to a sceptical and materialistic age, which is, I. conceive, the chief tendency of Spiritualism. More emphatically do I reject the theories of " imagination," " will power," and " unconscious cerebration," because any one, or all of them together, do not suffice to explain the well-attpsited facts of Spiritualism. Neither CBn I admit even the most wonderful of mediumistic phenomena aa proof of man's immortality. They prove spiritual agency—no more; it may bp the spirits of those present, or of i me other order of beings, which produce the manifestations, Spiritualists having admitted that there are " lying spirits," I challenge a single satisfactory proof, or ma-s of proofs, tbat these phenomena are produced hy the cpiri's of departed human beings. I confess that I was in great measure drawn to enquire into spiritualistic phe nomena by the belief that they would prove to bs only a new phaso of physical science; and 1 was not unambitious of sharing in the credit of being an early and earnest enquirer in the new field of knowledge. Bat my investigations, so far as they have gone, have tended to the abandonment of the idea of finding a clue to! the mystery in material' science, and they rather go to confirm the view that the phonomena are mental, psychip, or spiritual. My experiences, though neither numerous nor varied, have heen sufficient for my purpose. Through them I have re ceived (to me) irrefragable testimony of :-r (a) &n invisible or supernatural power not exerted on 'atjies, chairs, or other objects which might be moved by -confede ratfs or niacbineiy; not on the limbs or organs of speech, which might be prodnced by involuntary muscular action j Init directly p» the mind and conscioiisness. (B) A power possessed by men (ei'her in the state known as clairvoyant, pr by the agency of other, beings, or by means of forces of nature unknown to science) whereby they can read ia the minds of in dividuals, thoughts presently passing through them, thoughts and impressions of events and scenes which are lying latent in tbe mind, and future intentions, present or latent.

The weight of outside testimony is so strong that I also believe there is (C) An invisible and. immatertyl power or intelligence, which is capable of acting upon matter, and ia various way?, overcoming the laws by which matter ia governed. Thug far only can I say I am convinced, and as 1 have already said that I g^proaphed this.subject with a strong bias in favour of spiritual modes of thought, I state my con clusions in order1 to hatfß tbtfm tested by aDyono interested. ' I have a firm faith (based upon an intense oonsciousnessj in my personal immortality, and inferpntially in the immortality of the vvhole human race; but materialistic tendencies having dimmed thU cousciousnes?, I sought in Spiritualism the proofs of man's immortal nature, arid failed to find them, I fonnd sufficient, how? ever, to Ibajiieb every particle of Materialism, and I do aofc regret the tjme spent ip the

search. But lam persuaded the only con clusive proof of man's immortality which we can have in our present state is our own consciousness of the possession ; and look ing to the uniformity of my experience in apiritualistic enquiry—that all appeals have been to my consciousness and not to my sonses—l have resolved to make no futher search after merely physical demon strations of the immortality of the soul,— I am, &c, SKEPTIKOS.
