... | {{Style P-Poem|poem=From my good native country far banished, | ||
Far from all most beloved away, | |||
Once I watched, as the golden sun vanished, | |||
All my dear ones in mystic array. | |||
Yet no cold, ghastly shapes formed to harrow | |||
My weak spirit, or frighten my heart; | |||
But their kind looks of old, blent with sorrow, | |||
As I thought that our lives were apart. | |||
Still I felt that we never are parted— | |||
We on earth who have faithfully loved— | |||
For when these so beloved and true-hearted | |||
Were restored to my presence they proved | |||
That my dreams were no passing delusion, | |||
No mere flights of a whimsical brain | |||
Nor of love the deceptive illusion | |||
Alike to ''their ''visions made plain. | |||
For when Providence willed to restore them, | |||
As of yore to my natural sight; | |||
Oft they told how I glided before them, | |||
That same eve through an ocean of light. | |||
Thus full surely I trust in my dreaming, | |||
What though strange oven wild it appear. | |||
That despite all material seeming, | |||
E’en on earth souls apart may be near. | |||

... | {{Style S-Small capitals|Will}} some member of the Union Club give an authentic account of the ghost which is alleged to haunt that old and respectable institution? The rumour is that a certain Colonel—left the club some time ago under rather unpleasant circumstances, and then left the world as well. Shortly afterwards a waiter was startled by seeing the deceased gentleman perambulating one of the rooms late at night, and, on walking after him, found himself alone in the apartment. The ghost seems to have become bolder by degrees, for he now makes his appearance at more seasonable hours, and his old acquaintances occasionally see him sitting in his favourite arm-chair. There is, of course, no reason why a ghost should not haunt a club-house as well as any other building; but, if the story be true, and it certainly is a very widely-spread one, it is the first instance of the kind in the history of apparitions with which I am acquainted.— ''Whitehall Review.'' | ||

... | {{Style S-Small capitals| An Address by Mr. James Campbell}}.—Mr. J. A.

There will be a largo and influential gathering of Spiritualists and non-Spiritualists, the latter of whom will have an opportunity of learning that Spiritualism is not what it is represented to be by daily newspapers.
