up his hand.' This and much more was said by her. I
let her remain calm after dispelling the influence of the
excited organs, for ten minutes. She awoke, was uncon-
scious of having spoken, and said she had had a nice
sleep.
"The test of the foregoing is as follows : C. wrote
to her husband at New Orleans by the mail packet of the
following month, December, wishing to know what kind
of passage he had, and particularly requesting him to
state the weather and general transactions of the night
of the 17th of November, without stating her reason for
so doing. Mrs. C. received an answer to this letter on
the 6th of February, 1849; Captain C. observing that
the mail for January had unfortunately left before he
could write. In this letter, which I have seen, he says,
that on the morning of the 17th of December to that on
the 18th it was blowing a gale of wind, but quite fair
for them; they were to the westward of Madeira • that
there was a very heavy sea rolling, and the ship laboured
a great deal; the emigrants were very sick and frightened,
and the most troublesome person was au itineraut deaf
preacher, who was constantly exhorting them much to
their annoyance; that ho was on the poop deck the whole
of the night; and never did the ship run such a distance
as she did in the 24 hours of the 17th and 18th of No-
vember, 1848.

" Mrs. C. has since seen her husband at Liverpool,
and has to.d me that everything stated by the somnam-
bulist had been fully corroborated by him."

EARLY TO BED AND EARLY TO RISE."
" Early to bed and early to rise "
A) e, note it down in your brain,
For it helpeth to make the foolish wise,
And uproots the weeds of pain.
Ye who are walking on thorns of care,
Who sigh for a softer bower,
Try what can be done in the morning sun,
And make use of the early hour.
Full many a day for ever is lost
By delaying its work till to-morrow;
The minutes of sloth have often cost
Long years of bootless sorrow.
And ye who would win the lasting wealth
Of content and peaceful power,
Ye who would couple Labour and Health,
Must begin at the early hour.
We make bold promises to Time,
Yet, alas! too often break them;.
We mock at the wings of the King of Kings,
And think we can overtake them.
But why loiter away the prime of the day,
Knowing that clouds may lower?
Is it not sater to make Life's hay
In the beam of the early hour?
Nature herself ever shows her best
Of gems to the gaze of the lark,
When the spangles of light on Earth's green breast
Put out the stars of the dark.
If we love the purest pearl of the dew,
And the richest breath of the flower,
If our spirits would greet the fresh and the sweet,
Go forth in the early hour,
Oh ! pleasure and rest are more easily found
When we start through Morning's gate,
To sum up our figures, or plough up our ground,
And weave out the threads of Fate.
The eye louketh bright and the heart keepeth light,
And man holdeth the conqueror's power,
When, ready and brave, he chains Time as his slave
By the help of the early hour.

COWES, AUGUST 20.

Wyvern, 205 tons, the Duke of Marlborough.

before the wind, but it was not till one o'clock that they
passed Ryde; the breeze then freshened, Capricorn
being then ahead, followed by Brilliant, Gitana, and
Wyvern. On rounding the Nab the Capricorn was one
minute ahead; she gradually increased her distance,
working down the Wight, and on passing the Needles,
about six p.m., was 19 minutes ahead of Brilliant; the
others were still further astern. The Capricorn passed
the starting vessel at 7.35.
