With tlie dose of the old year we have

To our many emoe rat and Union

for the time teing to soar above earthly
things, or rattier to direct its self

is surely able to ilo it once freed from

" n thinking over this matter the
thought took possession of me, that if
some agent could lie found that would
accomplish this separation and still leave
the body capable of being filled with
some other intelligence, how great the
value of the secret would lie in this age
ijof rushing business transactions. For
.instance: I have a business acuuain-
Itance in New Orleans who has some par
ticularly private busines in this" city to
transact and I am desirous of going y
there for a short time. By taking a dosarl
of this discovery of mine (for I was su-1
eessful in my researches,) carefully prta-l
jiared with reference to the length of
.'time he jircposes to (-penel in this city, lie
is at once released from the trammels .of
distance, and arriving here he takes pos
session of my body and gees about his
business, his reason identifying itself by'
.certain signs Unit have been agreed on.

with the sudden question, " id you read

said and then stopped, and I settled back
in my chair again, feeling that the de
ferred explanation was coming. For
some time he sat there evidently consid
ering and then burst out in a loud hearty
laugh. I don't think his mirth was con
tagious, but the sight of a man with two
badly damaged eyes, and a face looking
as if it had lieen run through a threshing
machine, with the teeth hooked for
threshing flax, laughing lirst on this

I some strong desire, and annihilating dis-
i tauce, put itself in communication, in a
moment, with persons a long way oil'.
"These occu ranees of course have here
tofore lieen considered dreams, and the
liullucinutious of minds abnormally n t d

tliey always seemed to me to lie p .,-:-ble,

I ''You remember the time and trouble
if took to discover this f'epabling agen
cy" as 1 shall call it. Howl threw my
entire sedf into the research; neglecting
a I) other duties. I was at last suce.ess
cessful beyond all my expectations, and
rutin net a week ago I perfected the "agen
cy'' to such a state that 1
was satisfied I was not only safe in mak-
;',ing an experiment ., but that I could also,
by means of using the ingredients in
certain vnrialle proportions, regulate
the exact length of time that the ab
scence might extend."
"At that time Fred Jones was just
starting to Boston, and although I knew
of his wild ways, ; thought his ree kless
nature would be just the one to help me
with my experiment, so took him into
imy confidence, and he heartily agreed
tliat to-day we would both take a dose of
the "agency" nt the same moment nnd
d'rect ourselves ' ti each other's bodies.
We were to change for just five hours.
At the time agreed on 1 got all in
readiness arid swallowed the portion of
the "agency" : had set opart for this pur
vnose. 1 will not try to descri'ie Id you
.the sensation I experienced on leaving
bchir.d me, myself as it appears to you,
because T hope you will soon try the
"agency" yourself. Jt is sufficient to
state that this portion of the experiment
was a complete success.. After linding
myself freed, hy a simple ell'ort of the
will, l was with Fral in Boston. Here
however was a hiti h in the proceeding's.
Fred had evidently forgotten nil about
our contract, "agency" or anything else
excepting the shortest way to dispose of
a whiskey straight that w-as in hand at
the momfint of my coming.
