The Jews were n many respects the same, and ther dolotry conssted n symbolzng the sgns of the zodac, So general was'ths knd m star worshp at, the outset of- the-so-called Chrstan* movement, that the founders of that relgous system, at frst, but, slghtly devated from the olderyrelgous teachngs, but as-that.system struck deeper, they sought to dsguse by chcanery and nterpolaton of new expressons n the wrtngs of the older authors, the nature of ther relgon, n o rd e r that, the masses should never know that, -mportant fact.

[W e take the fol-owng account of Flavus Josephus from the Ennclom la rtunnea. VA.] Flavus Josephus, the celebrated Jewsh hstoran, was born lt Jerusalem, A.!)., 37, n the frst year of Calgula, and four years after tn > t s true we lne! one apparent dscrepancy between the communcaton and translated copes of Josephus s works. T hat dscrepancy conssts n ths. The communcaton says that there w ere only two Jesuses that were publcly known n h s tme, whereas, there are mentoned n hs transtron Ttus qu the expedton, tred to'persuade hs countrymen to yeld; but he was treated by them wth scorn as a renegade, and even wth- the Roman solders he.was very far from 'popular.. W hen the cty fell, Ttus offered to grant any favor he mght ask. Josephus asked'fov the lves of hs brother and ffty frends and begged that the sacredt books be spared. Besdes hs request, le obtaned a valuable estate n Judea, and on returnng to taly wth hs patron was rewarded wth the freedom of the state, a large annual penson, and a Rouse orgnally.occuped by the emperor hmself, n conplment to whom le assumed the name of F lavus.. U nder Ttus and Domtan he was confrmed ll all hs prvleges. The remt- der of hs lfe was spent chefly at Rome n lterary pursuts. The exact date of hs death s not known, le was alve very near flc close of the frst century, and probably survved a few years of tn1second. What hs-relgous creed was, s exceedngly dtlcnlt to decde. n a famous passage of hs Anth/ates of tn1jews, frst quoted by Fusebus, he speaks of Chrst as somethng more than.hum an, and attests hs mracles, death and resurrecton. The authentcty of the passage has been very much dsputed. f t he admtted (and the nternal evdence n ts favor s very strong,) then Josephus must have been a Chrstan. On Josephus the other hand the common belef that le was not, a Chrstan- condemns the passages as spurous, f But t happens that, Josephus nowhere.close n all hs wrtngs commts hmself n- thvor of Chrs- tanty. As an mpartal hstoran le could not, but accept t as an.hstorcal fact; yet even though le may have beleved n ts truth, le was. too sceptcal.and ndfferent to make hm self a m artyr for the sake of any truth or doctrne whatever. '. t s most, probable that the passage n queston, w thout, beng absolutely spurous, has been modfed nto ts present, form by Fusebus; who s well known to have often.taken, such a lberty n hs quotatons. - As a hstoran Josephus possesses many valuable, qualtes. He clams for hmself the m ert of strct fathfulness, and under certan lmtatons le deserves t. H s most, m portant works are hs Hstnr of thr Jewsh. 'm-1, and hs. Antt/uHes of-the Jews. Hs o th e r works are an Attohopropln, md two books A ytnd :/lpm»,'n whch he answers the charge brought, aganst the earler part of hs Antqutes, who are called bv the translator Jesus. These were Jesus, the son of Plabet; Jesus, son- of A nanus; Jesus, or Jason; Jesus, the son o f Sapphas; Jesus, brother of Qnas ; Jesus, son o f Gamalel; Jesus, (he prest; Jesus, son of Dam-- nets; Jesus, son of C am lla; Jesus or-joshua, son of N u n ; Jesus, son o f S ap h at; Jesus, son of The-. buthus,,and-jesus, son of Jodezek ; besdes Jesus Chrst. We fnd So reference n the translated works of Josephus, to ether Jesus of a Samarnn cty who was hs ntm ate frend, nor to a Jesls of Gschala, who was hs deadly enemy. The nam e of the enemy of Josephus, was John of Gschala, and not Jesus, t' the name has been trulv translated. Notwthstandng those dscrepances, we cannot doubt tle genuneness of the communcaton. - We can see no reason why any sprt should seek to personate, the-sprt of Josephus, and we know the communcaton to come from nsprt. We havo found t most unsafe to'queston some of the m ost mprobable thngs gven by sprts, as n nne- tmes out of ten they ultmately prove true, anl seem often to be gven to make the test of dentty more postve, The communcaton settles the queston as to why Josephus wrote nothng- concernng Jesus of Naz reth. That reason was that no such person lved n the only.perod o f the world s hstory n whch such a man could have lved. The charge, therefore, that Josephus was governed by preudce n takng no notce of Jesus and hs alleged hstory, lalls to the ground.. lolly confrms the astro-theologcal nature of the four gospels and the astronomcal orgn, of.the- Jewsh, as well as the Chrstan relgon.

Ths s not a proper atttude for the sprt chosen champon of Sprtualsm.' Sprtualsm s true; and dem onstrated to be so by the phenom ena occurrng through sprtual meda, and needs no apology. Tle sprt band that would appont an apologst for Sprtualsm are not the knd of sprts that are true to th at great cause.- As Prof. Brttan las now, through the Banner of Lght, set hm self up as the specally apponted advocate of Sprtualsm, by sprt authorty, t s well'to test hm and hs sprt prncpals, as to ther goed fath or ftness for the work they have taken n hand.

No languuge of musc s sweeter, Than the odor of roses n June; No words of the prophet can pcture, The nulure of beauty s young bloom. We cannot defne the brght emblems So gracefully placed all uround, Whle tnted wth beautes supernal, Where summer forever s found. 8weet emblems of heavenly beauty, 'Angelc, wth love for a smle, The roses may feel t a duly.

L ock Out, July 10th, Edtor M nd and Matter : H arry Bastan came to Lockport the 8th o f Jane, after fllng very successfully one.week's engagem ent at Utca, N. Y. On the eve of the 9th, gave a seance n our parlor, to a crcle numberng! twelve persons. Care had been taken n selectng the stters, makng, the condtons pleasant and harmonous. After a dark crcle of much nterest full of knd remembrances from sprt frends, and strong demonstratons of sprt power, we ar-1 ranged for the lght seance, and had been sttng only a few moments when a face came to the aperture, whch 1 nstantly recognzed as my ss- ter. She bowed her betd to the company, and mmedately came out of the cabnet smlng and bowng, as f pleased to meet us agan, then re-. tred wthn and doted the dour. My wle sad, Lzze wll you please come agan, wsl so! much to sec you nearer. She (Lzze) then called for more lght, and came out sx feet to wthn three feet of my wfe, where she seemed to decrease n sze,'am faltered as f losng power, returned to, tle cabnet, but almost mmedately came agan, close to the sde of m y wfe and mar k n g sgns wth her hands/w hch faled to understand at the tme but now seem very plan. 1. wll not explan at present, hopng she m ay dem onstrate more fully what wll be a rem arkable test.- She then moved across th e room and takng a char that stood near, placed t n front of the cabnet and made sgns for m y wfe to come and st besde her. She dd so, whle Lzze stood lookng down n her face smlng and callng her by name. Then wshng Mrs. C. to take-her place,n the crcle, threw a kss, and stood n (he door l untl she had resumed her seat. Lzze then sat down n the char outsde the cabnet, lookng) about upon the stters fo ra momentyas f thnkng-1 w hat to do next, then takng the char, she w e n t' wth t to the head of the crcle, sat down there very quetly and looked upon all up and down the Radant Matter. Sprtsm s too much ndebted to the great scentst, Wllam Crookes; to be ndfferent to anythng that m aycontrbute to bs renown. t s one suffcent excuse therefore that he s the author of the adm rable nvestgaton upon radant matter whch have so greatly occuped the press and people of France, th at we gve to our readers a synopss of the dscoveres of the great chemst, who has not been afrad Of compromsng hmself by the study of sprtual phenomena. Ths motve would suffce l/d we not another more drect one, because t reatw s to the very heart of our cause, and because the problem of radant m atter s the problem of sprtsm tself. That whch magnelzers and sprts call flud s probably no more than a partcular manfestaton 1of what Mr. Crookes desgnates by the name of radant maler. The dscovery of a fourth stale or condton of m atter s the open door to the nfn- ty of ts transform atons; s the nvsble and mpalpable man m ade possble wthout ceasng to be substantal; t s the worldauf. sprts enterng wthout absurdty nto the doman of scentfc! hypothess: t s he possblty for materalsm to beleve n the lfe beyond te tomb wthout re- nouncng the materal substratum whch t beleves to he necessary for 1he preservaton of ndvdualty. Many other 'consderatons- mght be named. We say nothng of homaopathy, but t; s qute probable that bonoopathsts especally wll seek-for argum ents n the fact of-radant matter. To gve an dea of (le labors of Mr. Crookes and of he general nterest w hch-hs experm ents have excted n the Bars observatory, n the school of medcne and n the press; we cannot do belter than to reproduce some passages of the, numerous artcles whch scentfc-edtors have devoted to them. Mr. Crookes s not only the recognzed chemst of the scentfc w orld: there s not to-day a, Frenchman seekng nform aton upon the current topcs of-the tmes, who s gnorant of hs name and4.hu- nportanee-of-hs labors, and ths man s- to-duy or scence a resplendent llustraton, a popular glory. t s mpossble that'hs nvestgatons nto the phenom ena of sprtsm shall long reman unknown to the masses. Truth marches by great strdes, and f we have the good fortune to possess some one of those powerful medums, wth whch Mr. Crookes has made hs experment The Actve and Passve n Nature.
