Sleep Walker.-A young man b.
the name Of Isaac Chandler, residine
in Fryeburg, state of Maine, got up in
his sleep. went about half mile to a
neighbor's barn, procured cord and
bundle of hay, and carried them into
the woods at considerable distance
from the house. Ho then ascended 4
maple tree with the cord aud hav :
after reaching the height Of 26,fsss.
ne then placed the hay i'm a crosch
ofthe tree, ascended about 6 feet hieh-
er, tied the cord to limb, and sSsu
fastened it around his ancles, aiier
which he swung off head-foremost, %
that his head touched top of the hay.
In this horrid situation he awoke, and
with his cries reused the nearest neigh
bors, who directed their course TO tbe
place whence the noise proceeded. II
was about the break of day when thew
arrived there when, to their astonish-
ment, they found the young man in
the situation described, suspended "a
feet in the air. a number Of attempts
were made to climb the tree to extr;-
cate him, but it being large, without
any limbs near the bottom. and the
bark smooth, they proved intellectual |.
and dhe, after becoming composed e.
nough to relieve his situation, recover
cd his former posture on the limb. from
which ne made his descent, Iooseued
the cord and came down, much to the
satisfaction Of himself and friends.
Since the above took place, he has
been confined to his house, in couse-
quence Of the lameness occasioned by
the great exertions he must have made
In accomplishing SO curious midnight !
enterprise. There are moro tfan
twenty who can testify to the forgoing |.
relation as strictly true. Buns. Her.

And haste on board, and sail with Love!

Young Enterprise the rudder brought,
Which his adventurous spirit guides.
Upon the deck is reared light,
A richly canopied alcove,
The winds are hush'd, the skies are bright;
Oh haste on board, and sail with Love!
The Maiden heard the gentle song, 1e'.
She saw the gaily painted bark; wu
The path that Prudence urged was long,
And led through valleys drear and dark.
The silken sails the s,reamers gay,
Have lured her iruant steps to rove n
She leaves the rough and rugged way,
To roam Ger tranquil seas with Love.
Swiftly tow'rds Pleasures flowery realm,
Loves fleet and buoyan. vessel flies,
And still through sunny straits the helm

To sail to Pleasure . isle with Love.
But soon tempestuous winds arise, n
Loud roars the surge, descends the rain
And vainly does young Enterprise,

He turns To shore on pin'ons gay,
While with the whelmihg seas he strove,
His willy patron speeds away
