A MIDNIGHT I SHALL REMEMBER.

JiCK Templeton had beeu my closest friend in boyhood, was my cherished £ ompanion in the daya of our early manhood at college, and my delightful corre3 pondenfc during the ten years that had gone since the close of the happy period of student life. This '^.ggpondence had not been the only cOioniunication between us, for we agreed) on the final leave-taking of cur ofd college quarters, that visits on each other should be kept up, Jack setting •side at least two Aveeks in one year to be spent with me wherever 1 should be settled, and the- year following I s to visit with him for a short season. This arrangement had been observed by both with punctuality and and we became well ac nuaiute<i with each other's mode of livin" occupation and surroundings. T ac k\vas a physician in Greenwich, Conn. Anyone knowing him during fa character-forming period of his life Tfould have marked him for a futore tihvsician. He possessed those traits of character, those oddities of native dis position which mean strong individual ly He was drily humorous in his ordi nary conversation, candid in his intor conrsa with his acquaintances, cheerful enough on occasion, ingenious in his estimate of people, not by any means brilliant, but studious and determined, especially so when concerned in the in vestigation of subjects belonging to the obscure and having a dash of the mys terious. To him the Greek grammar id Latin construction were dull plod din*, but mathematics, and especially the°study of mental science and of those Questions the solution of which involves anexploitinto the depths of psychology, to him a genuine pleasure. Ex ploring the mysteries of the human mind was that which made up the texture of his thoughts by day and was apt to weave the fabric of fab dreams by night. A. trick of Biagic, no matter how obscure, did not interest him because there was no pretence thatitsoperation depended on anything but some clever mechanical contrivance or sleight of hand. Such tilings wew Jacking in that essential, the supernatural, which so absorbed his evory thought. But an exhibition ofmesmerism filled him with wonder, {or he recognised in it the manifesta tions of the unseen workings of the human mind, and much of his time was spent in the study of its strange phenomena. It was his claim that could mesmerism become other than the ungovernable thing it now is, and fee brought under the subjection of the human will, it would prove not only a mighty aid in medicine and surgery, but'wouUvery likely afford an explana tion of those sttaugo mental conditions

Trhich so puzzle the world to-day. E&ving 9 Mad thus fashioneJ, it vras cfie riost natural thing for Jack to take to mediciue as a profession— petoe in its broad sense, the en thusiastic study of which will gratify the thinking man in his search for lightnpon tho intimate and intricate relation of the human body to human soul.

The newspaper field had been chosen by me a? the one in which I would ex ploit whatever of learning and energy Did determination I possessed, aud at this timo I was engaged on a morning daily in a vigorous Michigan town. It was Jack's year to visit me, and the time being at hand when he might ta looked for 1 had completed the few preparations about my bachelor belong ings which his coming would make necessary, 90 I was not surprised when just at twilight one evening in July he came in upon me, sitting alone, in meditative mind, in my second-story flat apartments. Not surprised, I say. At the time, truly I was not. '1 re member the date of his coming. It w»s Friday night, the 12th of July, 1567, a fact which in the light of what followed 1 had good reason to re member. Our greetings were as cor dial as usual, our handshaking as vigorous, and our mutual inquiries about the things that had como into our lives siuce the lai?t meeting were as rapidly and enthusiastically spoken as ever. My own experiences for the twelvemonth,commonplace and comparatively uneventful, were told, but what they lacked in novelty and volume was made up by. the perfect avalanche of incident and adventure Jack had to relate of himself. He told me that night the details of experi ment after experiment he had made with the human physical organism : Whe had tested and analysed and taeorised iv his endeavour to sift down, satifactorily to himself, the grand mystery of what portion of a jaan'B body is most closely related to his soul; what one of the various sys tems in the human framework gave ">ape, and motion, and energy to the sublime thing, mind. This was his hobby. He did not spare me. He oever did spare me when thus occu pied. He had become 'accustomed to having me indulge him when on his favourite theme. In this connection he had many new interesting stories to «1 about mesmerisms and what he called its measureless possibilities. He reluted how he, while in the mesmeric 6leep, at the will of a person who pos- ? essed the power of putting one under ! ts influence, had been sent, at the instance of a third person, a Jjwger, to a far distant city , eie h6 had never been before, not at 'east in the ordinarily understood ""•e of being, and had described »«nes and objects about the streets of 'hat <% accurately enough to be easily jwognued by the third person, whose Su h Wa3" Several t6Sts of is "tt had been made, each time with ™?.Tnost astonishing results. Jack's "^fm iv this narration was only JflttUed by the readiness with which «came to his conclusions, that the "^ 01 the mesmerised subject had,

unhampered by mattor, time or space, been transported attliawill of a desig nated persou to a place chosen by that person, and being present in that place had, of course, actually seen subjects there, and, easily enough, could tell of them; in other minds the objects had made their impressions on that mind, add, that mind returning to its accustomed habitation,. the subject's body, could readily give an account of those impressions. "And," he added, with a peculiar imprejsiveness in his voice, " I believe that if the conditions are favourable the subejet under the influence of this subtle something can be transported in spirit to a distant place, can sea and talk with a second person, and this visit with all its incidents will be to that second person in everything im portant an absolute reality—so real that he will never feel those unpleasant sensations that accompany what are called ghostly visitations."

Jack's conclusions and the earnest ness of his manner were largely inter esting to me, and although J. instinc tively inclined to the natural view of things—a view emphasized by a calling dealing chiefly with the real affairs of this life—had but little belief in any thing that could not be explained by causes we call natural and are easily understood, and would discredit the testimony of any person, no matter how near to me, If that testimony con flicted with what seemed to me reason able, still Jack's seriousness and honesty strangely impressed me thatnight, and I confessed to him that what could not be proved need not necessarily be doubted; that there were likely stranger things on earth alone than were known of, and then with & wish to dismiss the whole subject for one more cheerful, 1 asked about some acquaintances I had in Greenwich, his home, to which inquiries he responded and in turn asked for my father's family, who still lived on the old homestead a few miles from the city of my residence. I replied by arranging with Jack right there for a visit to gether to our early home, and straight way penned a note to my sister, telling of his coming, and our contemplated visit homo, and that arrangements might be made for our stay for a brief season. 1 sealed this letter, with Jack's assent to the arrangement it convoyed, stamped it, and put it in the postal box just outside my door.

The night was wearing on, and bed was suggested, so with many pleasant anticipations of what the succeeding days had in Btore for us, Jack said good night, and went to his bedroom, previous visits having made him ac quainted with my apartments. The night passed uneventfully, not eveu a stray reminiscence of' tho even ing's talk interfering with the senses' even repose. 1 awoke at 7 o'clock, dressed, thought of the planned visit home and the manjrjjgijseable tilings it promised.^ T did"not hasten to aiousd Jack, considerately thinking that the fatigues of his long journey and the late hour of retiring would prepare him for a prolonged rest. More than an hour passed aud 1 began to feel the need of eaiing, aud was promising myself the full enjoyment of a breakfast with Jack for my company ; so 1 went to his bed room to call him. My astonishment was pretty evident when, opening the door, Jack was not in tho room, and what was stranger still, nothing it con tained indicated that he had been there. The bed had not been disar ranged in the least. Not a chair or other article of furniture apparently had been moved from its accustomed position. Altogether there was not a shadow of evidence that any person living had been in that room the preceding night. There were no windows in the room, and no door save the one opening into the room where I slept. A person then could not get out of that bed-room and out of the house except by coming through that door and leaving by the hall door. I remembered that when I awoke this outside door was locked and bolted as usual on the inside; this was recalled by the difficulty in sliding back the bolt that morning. This showed that even had Jack been disposed to leave me in that shabby manner in the middle of the night,, he could not have done so, not to mention that such a proceed ing would be as nnlooked for in the man a3 it would be unworthy of him. The truth remained, nevertheless, Jack was gone. But how he Ka'd taken his departure was a deep mystery to me. Strange as it was, though,'no sugges tion of the supernatural then entered into my calculations, and I contented myself with thinking that a reasonable explanation would offer itself in time. I said nothing to anyone of the occur rence, not caring to bravo the doubt and ridicule the telling of it wou d likely provoke. I was extremely anxioua to come to at least some plausible solution of the affair, yet the longer I sought one the more perplexed I became, till I b«d to conclude that the whole proceed ing was a very vivid dream. A dream it might be; but such a con clusion was exceedingly disappointing and unsatisfactory, for in dreams persons don't grasp each other's hand, and smoke together, and drink together, and talk for hours at a time connectedly on a subject, especially such a one as occupied our attention that night. Then another circumstance came to me with almost startling suddenness. The letter! Did I write that letter to my sister, or was that, too, only a part of the dream 1 If she got my letter that wonW be proof clear enough that that night's proceedings were not a dream, let them otherwise be accounted for as they might. If the letter was written while sleeping, that would be a somnambulistic feat too formidable for belief, and besides I had been known to be a sleep-walker. I could easily find out about the letter anyway. 1 wrote my sister asking simply if she got my letter, in prompt answer to which she

said she had, adding that they were all prepared for and anxiously awaiting our coming. Clearly, the letter was not a dream. Then what on earth, or above the earth, or under the earth would ex plain that nightly visit, that uncere monious and mysterious disappearance of Jack Tempteton 1 It betran to trouble me. A week had passed since that night, when a letter bearing tha well-known postmark of Green = wich was dropped through my door It was from Jack. This 13 what it said :—

I am very sorry ray professional duties and tho amount, of ;tudy 1 liavo laid ouster this e'ummor will tii me down it home, nnd I shall not be able to make yon my usual visit thi« year. * • •

Merciful Heaven ! The man hadn't been with mo at all. Was he dead, and did his shadow como to haunt me instead of his living body to visit me 1 That would not bo likely, for his letter was dated five days later than that night, and ghosts, having a way of making their presence known at the precise time their disembodi ment takes place, are always punctual. The letter did not so far lighten up the matter. It proceeded:

Yon know my hobby, mesmerism. and you know how I ride it. Well, one night last week I mounted my hobby, and took a long ride. I was away out in your country, in your town, in your very room, and I 3at with you and talked with you and drank with you, and all but slept with .you. To bo exact, the night was Friday, the twelfth day of this month, July. Now, all tin's was so real to me that I want you to write to me whether on that night you remember being conscious ot any unusual occurrence. Did I seem to you that I was in your company last night'/ 1 want all tho facts, thnfc I may see how they will fit a little theory 1 have lately been constructing. There it was, and the subject talked upon by Jack, or Jack etherealised, aod me, came back, with his startling assertion about a person in a mesmeric trance being able to communicate with an absent person, and that person to be conscious of being communicated with. So Jack in all things essential had been present with me that night. For is not the mind tho conscious part, the soul, the essential thing ?

This narrative deals only with the facts of a very extraordinary personal experience. If the explanation given of his vi3it by my guest of that night, based upon the narrowly-understood operations of mesmerism, is not suf ficient, let him who, with a clearer view, has traversed further into the arcane of the mystical, advance his theory of Jack Templeton's strange visit."—" Detroit Free Press."
