re-generations:

wierd- i ike lul laby, a murmur ing uinsicof tlie w.tves on the shore which givesinanimate Nature a tongue to voice syl-lables almost human-like.

On both sides of the lake —we say bothsides because its inlet is the majesticMississippi anditsoutlet thesame noble"Father of Waters"- are the widely-known bluffs, the most beautiful formsin which Nature molds hill or mountain- bold, massive, imposing, projectingfronts of rounded rock and earth nearlyperpendicular,rising four hundred feethigh in stately grandeur from the lake'sbrink. There they stand! long lines ofsolemn sentinels! along the Wisconsinand Minnesota states, as far as the eyecan reach, monuments of the age's, chis-eled by the hand of Time; unsurpassedby the attractive and world-renownedpalisades of the Hudson. In such a set-ting sits Lake Pepin in regal beauty,Queen of three thousand charming, sky-Uuted lakes, tor which Wisconsin andMinnesota are celebrated; rivaling Como,of Italy, and Geneva, of Switzerland.Kxquisitely grand is its scenery. Fromeach new stand-point new beauties burstupon the sight like a master piece ofpainting in different lights. In this pe-culiar feature, variety of landscape,Lake Pepin is absolutely indescribable.

Let us mount the bluffs. Pulling, butnot tired; rather exhilarated, we reach thetop. From that eminence we behold«t picture never by human artist equaled.

On this May day, in the year 18H2. thebuds and blossoms just bursting into lift

should never interpose its prosaic lengthto spoil a poetic love-leap.

FREEDOM OF THINKING.

to theTruth's standing challengeworld, voiced by human lips:

"I mu'-t t'">tify what I bclicvo to bo the truth."— JOHN WESLEY.

!So must \ve, John. Although we maynot agree as to what the truth is, doubt-less it is best that each one should testifyfor himself and herself, and freely, brave-ly, grandly admit that, others have thesame right which we chum for ourselves.

Would not this be a good place to ap-ply the Golden JluleV If so appliedwould- not all religioxis bitterness andprejudice end.?

Are we not all inclined to selfishlyclaim liberty as our own private inherit-ance; and deny it to our rellows, on onepretext and another ? Some do it on theassumption of serving God; hut can anyhuman being serve a god while hatingman V Would not the world be a gainerby dispensing with all such service?

mo the liberty to know, to utter, and to ar-gue freely aeuonliiiK to conscience, ubovo all lib-erties." — John Miltou.

Which is precisely the same tone ofthis we are writing. Grand, inspiringJohn Milton! Would that all Christianscould come up to tt»".t measure; but jilus!there are so many of a stunted growth.They are like oaks in flower pots; trews,to be sure, and, us a prominent American

AVhat a vision! towering bluffs as faras the eye can see! Midway the crys-tal IWd"glistening in its sunshine splen-dors. We are taking our view from thehighest bluff of Stockholm, Wis. Threeiinli\s above us is the most famous bluffof the entire region. Maiden Uock, fourhundred and twelve feet high.

On so grand a scale are carved theseblocks that Maiden Rock, viewed froma distance of ten or twelve miles, ap-pears in the clear atmosphere of thisbreezy, health-giving land but half, or athird," of that distance. The experimentof A journey to it. as we have found, ef-twtually dispels the illusion. As we ap-proach it there is a growing appearanceof ;t frowning front of some trigstnti'1 en>-battlement.

The Christian hasa perfect right to his view, and we feelvery confident that we have to ours.We mean to go ahead as if we had;swerving neither to the right nor left, jfor profit, emolument, or reward.

The meetings of this truly Orthodoxorganization are held at intervals—weak-ly, and are strictly private and confiden-tial, the members pledged to life-longsecresy;but LAKE PEI'IN GA/JETTK hasa, phonographic ariel ever present, withwatchful eye, to report proceedings forthe country's good.

Dr. D. K. Boutelle,with that austeredignity which so well becomes him, arisesand announces himself Chairnian>f themeeting. The Doctor is a natural-bornpoet; does not depend upon cultivationfor his inspiration! It issfnpossible topredict when the fit wfll seize him.AVhen the divine afflatus doeo capturehim his handsome face beqguies suffusedwith the glow of the godltod he lookslike an inspired ruediun^—Cora L.V.

"Kcetiiftn, I see streaksof dawn! Day is coinmg;the dog-star isrising, twinkling gloiiously. Ah, mysoul!--if 1 have one:

"Orthodoxy's getting t-lmky.Hell is losing tmlf it* charm,

Buecher stole the devil's brimstone,Churches all are in alarm."

doyen tongues of poetic fire at mice fell upon >-v-ery old man present. Deacon Dwelle, although hehas seen seventy-seven springs, nimbly jumped t<»his feet, gave an unearthly Indian whoop, and wingfalsetto-like,

"Hell was once a lake infernal,Fast description, past all name?-,

Yours Truly, Win. Holgate,Mansion, Wis.

This hearty, rotund Englishman, aper-pel nal joker, an inveterate reader, not-withstanding his coal-mine graduation,writes ;«* plain an print, and us hopefullyas .sixteen, instead of toward seventy.()h, for a thousand Holgates! rough-hewntliongh they bo; for this one obtained sub-seribiii-s for LAKE PEPIN GAZETTK, andplaced 820 in our possession, and we be-queathed it to the paper-maker.

I have seen your advertisement in the"Investigator, and I write this to say toyon godspeed. I wish you every success,us 1 iwlieve you deserve it, and I believeyou are on the right track: make your pa-per a newspaper, and at the same time, aLiberal paper. I think it will succeed.

Many of the American people take butone paper: few people take a paper devot-ed exclusively to Liberal principles; con-sequently I think more liWal ideas andthought*) \v 111 reach the people througha newspaper, than radical, exclusive lib-eral papers.

Please send me a paper as soon as con-venient, and I think I can get a few sub-scribers.

Isaac Corbin.Kendall, Wis.Friend Corbin has hit the nail square.

We pack our News page, and furnish theweek's history in as few words as possi-ble.

From the very fact that our paper willbe different from any other published,ought to give it an extensive circulation,and thus enable us to do all the moregood. We have been garnering thoughtfor a generation, and think that the factsand principles accumulated are such asthe world ought to read. Give us agot*! chance, and we will try to showthe real meaning of a Free Press.

matters of public concern. This conced.ed, (and to deny it, is to defend mentaldespotism,) no Spiritualist has any mor-al, or intellectual, right to become "irri-tated" over any expression, howeversweeping.

The truth is, blink it as you will, Spir-itualists (as a body) are about as clannishand bitterly sectarian as the worst ofChristian sects. They bear unwelcometruths not a whit more philosoph-ically than the Christians they condemnfor illiberality and intolerance.

Mrs. Lake, a Liberal Spiritualist,knows this and tells it to their faces.They preach liberty and maintain men-tal slavery: they s;»y, "Follow your high-est convictions," and then impugn thepurity of your motive if you dare to doso; they call themselves harmonial phil-osophers and quarrel endlessly amongthemselves. The intelligent ones amongthem know that these words are true.

We do not say that all the so-calledspiritual phenomena are fraud. Nordo we admit that what is not fraud mustbe spirit; although the logic of mostSpiritualists is, that if a phenomenon isnot fraud it must be spirit! Epileptic fitsare not frauds. A thunder storm is nota fraud. It^a "genuine manifestation."Is it spiritffln in its origin V

Spiritualism will never supersede theChristian religion. Christianity will ab-sorb from Spiritualism whatever willstrengthen the Church; and, thus re-en-forced, figM its great intellectual battleat last with Scientific Materialism. Sci-ence will finally bury them both—Christianity and Spiritualism.

I am sorry for the feeling which arisesagainst you among many of the Spirit-ualists. " I am glad there are some whodo not condemn you for becoming aMaterialist. I think the great difficultyamong many is that they understandyou to say tliat all spiritual phenomena

I went to Terre Haute, Ind. Attend-ed six seances at Mrs. Stewart's, and it isreally wonderful. I think, friend Jamie-son, that if you had seen and witnessedwhat I did at the six seances you wouldbe forced to believe in immortality, andwould cure you of your Materialisticideas and principles. I am as sure, andknow that 1 have seen, talked to, andshaken hands with my spirit friends, asthat I have an existence liere. In fact Iknow it if I know anything. The ques-tion of a future life is settled. Thereneed be no more controversy about it.1 not only talked with my spirit friends,but one of them walked down from thecabinet, a distance of about twenty feet,sat down on the seat beside me, wrote amessage in her own handwriting to hermother. This is not only my testimony,but I can bring forward sixteen or eight-een other reliable witnesses to provew4iat I have stated to be a fact.

a spirit! That he thinks he did is un-questioned. But did he? The courtwould require him to produce the bestproof, which is the spirit itself. Wouldhe do that ? He would be compelled toanswer, Xo, he could not. Why? Darkcabinets and other "conditions" are re-quired. That looks suspicious. If overmortal man searched diligently for proofof immortality we did, both in Christian-ity and in Spiritualism. It did not takeus long to satisfy ourself that the so-call-ed "Evidences of Christianity" were airynothings. Spiritualism suited us untilwe began to ransack dark circles with alight (not exactly like Diogenes with hiscandle hunting for a man; we were aftera spirit!) Shy souls! Every light weHashed revealed the "medium" playingspirit playing fantastic tricks beforehigh heaven. There is an irrepressibleconflict between modern spiritualismand a tallow dip.

Friend Tighe says he "knows." Someof the worst mistaken people we eversaw thought they knew. It is a studyfor an artist to watch the features of aman who is "positive he cannot be mis-taken, and within three seconds it isdemonstrated, even to himself, that peo-ple can be too certain about uncertain-ties.

Our Journal will discuss Spiritualismwith ungloved hands, ttUk^y, but cour-teously. ^^^K

Our friend thinks if^HRy saw thewonderful things he witnessed we wouldbe a believer in immortality. We haveseen all such wonderful (?) performances,and greater things, and still remain skep-tical about his spirits. The writingwould be proof to many; but not to us.We have seen too many such "proofs"which never yet stood the test of criticalanalysis.

are fraud. Of course so sweeping an as- orsertion would wound and irritate.

Why, it was only a few weeks sincewe held a long conversation with a well-known Spiritualist who narrated to usthe history of his recent visit to the same j.Mrs. Stewart, of whom our friend writes,*and he came away fully convinced thather materializations are frauds.

Does he know that A. J. Davis, andother eminent Spiritualists, reject all hisproofs f Does he not know that a lead-ing Spiritualistic journal denounces thisvery Mrs. Stewart as an arrant humbug?Xo, the "controversy" is not ended, northe "question settled," as friend Tighe

our friends who are desirous of doingwhat they can to extend our circulation,t h a t we will send tl»e 1;\\ KOTKJATOU ONTill A I, FOR TI1KKK MONTH!*, to ZH1V {ld-drcss for 75 cts./or for a less term at thesame rate.) hoping thereby that trial snl>-scrjlwrH after the three months have ex-l>ired, will become regular or yearly pa-t r(»ns to the INVKSTHJATOR.

The i N V K s ' t ' K t A T o i t is devoted to theLibcr;d cause in religion; or in otherwords, to u n i N e r s a l l iber ty . Independ-ent i n a l l its discussions, discarding sup-erstitious theories of what never can heknown, it devotes its colunr.m t i t thingsof this world alone, and leaves the next,if there lw one, to those w ho ha^ e enter-ed its unknown shores. Believing thatit is th*' ( in ty of mortals to \\ork for theinterests of THIS WOULD, it confines it-self to the things of this life entirely.

It has arrived at the age of h'ft>-oneyears, and asks for a support from thosewho are fond of sound reasoning, goodresiding, reliable news, anecdotes, art.science, and a useful family journal.

It seeks for truth inall directions, par-ticularly in the. domain of Nature in theunchangeable laws of UIB universe. Itentertains no reverence lor creeds anddoctrines; whether of the Pagan religionsof the past or in the Christian dogmas ofthe present. It accepts the good wher-ever it can find it; but is an outspoken,untrammeled foe to supernaturalism,priestcraft, mental bondage, superstitionand errors of all kinds. It favors all therational reforms of the times, and advo-cates everything that aids in conferringmental and physical freedom upon thehuman race.
