... | {{Style P-Poem|poem=Not much of earth belongs to me. | ||
A few short feet of mossy ground, | |||
Soon measured o’er, in sheltering nook, | |||
A little lowly grass-clothed mound. | |||
Not much—for all I have lies here— | |||
A maiden young, and fresh, and fair, | |||
A very flower in early Spring, | |||
She seemed to scent the vacant air. | |||
But Death, with never-idle scythe, | |||
Out short my darling’s little life, | |||
And buried with her are the dreams | |||
Of when we should be man and wife. | |||
Not much of earth belongs to me. | |||
Yet is that little dearer far | |||
Than any gem on monarch’s brow, | |||
Than light is to the evening star. | |||
Not much of earth belongs to me, | |||
But in yon heaven of sapphire blue, | |||
One treasure stored is all my own, | |||
A maiden lovely, sweet, and true. | |||
Death may not hold the fragile flowers; | |||
They die, but every Spring-tide brings | |||
A new and bright awakening | |||
Of all earth’s pleasant sleeping things. | |||
So doth my flower bloom again | |||
In yonder blissful, deathless home; | |||
An angel wears her at his breast | |||
Until her long-lost lover come. | |||
And as I sit beside her grave, | |||
Shining in tender Spring sunshine, | |||
It seems to me as though all earth | |||
And all the heaven were wholly mine. | |||

Mr. George Curling load, of Oakfield, Wimbledon, who recently passed to the higher life, was until a year of his demise a liberal patroniser of mediums; he also was one of the witnesses in favour of Henry Slade during the time of the persecution and prosecution of the latter in London. He was a clear-headed investigator of the phenomena, and highly popular from his gentlemanly and kindly ways. Mr. Joad was one of several of the very best men interested in Spiritualism who retired into private life from general public work in the movement some two years ago. Subsequently he worked for a time with Mr. Serjeant Cox and others at some psychological researches at our office with the apparatus constructed by Mr. Frederick Varley for Mr. Blackbum, whioh researches have most unfortunately for the public interests of Spiritualism, been abandoned. He has left behind him property to the amount of £91,000, and a very large proportion of it he has given in charitable bequests. He was a good man, respected and beloved by all who knew him. Death has been busy of late among good and true men interested in occult subjects. | |||

... | A few days ago I had the pleasure of attending a meeting of the managers of the Paris Psychological Society, under the chairmanship of Mons. Fauvety. Its public and other meetings are held at No. 5, Rue Neuve des Petits Champs, the premises of the society, established twenty-four years ago for the publication of the works of Allan Kardec. | ||
The “''Society Scientifique d'Etudes Psychologiques” ''was founded four years ago. It studies every branch of psychology; it is open to the consideration of all religious and theosophical questions, and thus stands upon a somewhat broader basis than the older society. The meetings of the members and friends of the society are held every Friday evening, when correspondence is read, lectures are delivered, discussions take place, and experiments are made. Several writing and trance mediums are members of the society, and the communications they receive are examined and considered at the meetings. It has also established a “School of Mesmerism.” The organisation has about two hundred members, among them Mons. Fauvety (president), a literary man “philosophe;” Mons. Eugfene Nus, dramatist, poet and author; Mons. Bonnemfere, historian; Mons. Valles, engineer and author; Mons. Chaigneau, poet and author; Mons. Tremeschini, astronomer and mathematician; Dr. R. Thurman (vice-president), professor of philosophy; Mons, de Rappard, editor of ''Licht, mehr Licht''; Mons, and Madame Leymarie; Madame de Morsier; Madame de Rosen; and Mdlle. Laserre, novelist. | |||
In founding the Society it was necessary to obtain authority to do so from the Minister of the Interior, who gave his approval to the rules and constitution, which differ but little from those of any English society having the same objects in view. | |||
