Baker.
But to tent the accuracy of the statements, I wrote to the
parish authorities of Pembroke Dock, to corroborate or otherwise tho
lad, and received a reply from Mr. Quarterman, vicar's churchwarden
of Pembroke Dock Church, that, on making inquiry of some of the
oblent, inhabitants of that locality, he found two aged persons who
recollected such a person as Samuel l./ovi, a watchmaker, Ac., who about
the time mentioned lived at Pembroke. The letters from Mr. Quarterman certifying the fact, 1 send to you, Sir, to gratify the curiosity of nnv

taxing your long-enduring patience, and occupying the space of your

P e a r Sir ,— Tho mind of man, like the more material physical
organism of the body, requires sustenance and stimulus to sustain its
powers, or it languishes, loses tone, becomes inert, unimpressionable, and
finally blank. .1 am led to make these remarks in consequence of what
ray experience teaches, that though for four years an ardent investigator
of the phenomena ‘'M odern Spiritualism" presents to inquirers, the
monotony attending the manifestations of spirit-power for the last few
months at the circle at which it is my wont to sit. lias insensibly lessened

finding her at home, alone, knitting, seated at equal distance between
