dlsspatlon his passion for the drama and social glass
became proverbia and his attention to business de-
Ginning, his affairs became embarrassed and he bank
rupt.
About this time chance threw in his way Young
and lovely female of large fortune and he married her
after very short courtship but unhappily, she
discovered his affections were not centred in her. and
that his union with her but mercenary. Writing
under such feelings these, she reproached him most
bitterly, he recrminaed, and they most wretch
ed couple. AT length she died of broken heart and
he too convinced the world that he rioted in his
freedom for with a handsome fortune he sbone forth
comely widower, and his early attachment revived
with renewed ardor when he behed his long-oved
Adea at public watering place, encrcled by affec-
tonate friends, who endeavoring to console her
for the recent loss of her bosoms lord and had ndu-
ced her to take journey in order restore her health
He conveyed note to her, in which he begged to be
permitted TO address her as her year of nou-
ing was completed; but the proposal rejected with
kind Of shrinking horror, and he from that hour gave
himself up to inebriety and in very few years was
consigned to the silent tomb, leaving his infant children
to the care of strangers. THEODORE.

SLEEP WALKING.

The following extraordinary instance of somnarn-
lbulism recently occurred in Middle Haddam, (Conn
The writer of the article states that the facts be
substantiated by the most unequvocal evidence.
boy living in this village about 10 years of age,
who is accustomed TO walk and converse in his Sleep
fell asleep in his chair in the fore part Of the evening
In short time he began to talk and called upon
boy who was not present, and said come let go
TO school, There were two young men present, who
accompanied him to the school, one of whom respond
ed to the name, and acted the part of the absent boy
On arriving at the school house where the instructor
happened to be- he went n took off his hat and took
his seat with all the propriety and decorum that he
would have observed at any time, He said in low
tone of voice, | must GO to studying, and mmedi-
ately got his slate and book. He turned to the place
in Arithmetic where he had been cypherng. This
was the 40th problem in the Rule of Three, in Da-
bos Arithmetic, which he had studied the preceding
day without being able to solve. The Instructor came
to him and asked him if he could not get the answer.
He replied in the negative. He then read the ques-
ton and the teacher told him how to state it. He
made the statement, and then said he could not bring
the pounds, shillings, &c. to dollars. Being told
how to do it he proceeded according the directions
and brought out the true answer. The teacher then
