215. During a visit made to Boston last autumn, on sitting with a medium, my sister addressed me in the following way, by spelling the words out upon the disk apparatus just described:

Brother beloved, of ardent soul,

Striving to reach a heavenly goal;

Wouldst thou attain the blissful height

Where wisdom purifies the sight;

Where God reveals to humblest gaze,

The bliss and beauty of his ways

Incline thine ear to angels bright,

Who radiant from the realms of light,

For ever hover near,
