A lady and gentleman, in Berwickshire,

which they both Immediately recognised to
proceed from the voice Of their son, who

a strange Dren -.

A lady, not long since, related to me the
following circumstance Her mother, who
was at the time residing in Edinburgh, in
a house, one side of which looked into a
wynd, whilst the door was in the High-street,
dreamt that, it being Sunday morning, she
had heard sound, which had attracted her
to the window and. whilst looking out, had
dropt ring from her finger into the wynd
below. That she had, thereupon, gone
down in her night clothes to seek it: but
when she reached the spot, it was not to be
found. Returning, extremely vexed at her
loss, as she re-entered her own door she met
respectable looking young man, carrying
some loaves Of bread. On expressing her
establishment at finding a stranger there at
so unreasonable an hour, he answered, BY
expressing his at seeing her in such situa-
ton. She said she had dropt her ring, and
had been round the corner to seek it; where
upon, to her delighted surprise, he presented
her with her lost treasure. Some months
afterwards, being at party, she recognised
the young man seen in her dream, and
learnt that he was baker. He took no
particular notice Of her ON that occasion,
and, | think, two years elapsed before she
met him again. This second meeting, how
ever, led to an acquaintance, which termi-
mated in marriage. Here the ring and the
bread are curiously emblematic OF the mar.
riagc, and the occupation Of the future nus
band.-4Ms. Cro,ce's Might-side of Ma

brought me into conflict Of mind; how far

upon our children; to do enough, and not
too much, is a most delicate and important
point. begin seriously to doubt, whether
as it respects the peculiar scruples Of Friends,
it is not better, quite to leave sober-minded

Shakespeare. The STUDENT himself could
not be less than Claudius but with our
three opposite neighbors he was somewhat
perPlexed. One was young girl, about
eighteen years OF age, who accompanied
her uncle, an old apothecary, from Bruins
wick; he was at last obliged to call her
Miss Mumme, and the uncle, Henry Love.
But the last Of the passengers was quite
anonymous, as We could not find any ia
nous characters in that otherwise salt-pro-
ducing town, Lyneborg, whence she came.
She was. therefore, a step-child; and it ap-
peared as il she had often been treated as
such, for she smiled with strange sadness,
when We could not find a name for her in
the society. This circumstance caused me
to regard her more particularly. She was
about fifty years Of age, had brown skin,
and some traces of the smallpox; but there
Law something interesting in her dark eye
something deeply sad. even when she smi-
led. We heard that she kept school for
young girls in Lyneborg. lived quietly there
in small house, and had now, for the first
time, hui only for few days, been in Ham,
burg. scarcely heard her speak a word
the whole way; but she smiled kindly at
Our jests, and looked good-natuedly happy
at the young girl, every time she laughed
heartily at what was said.
In the midst of us chaiterers she was the
most interesting TO me, on account OF her
silence. As We rolled into Lyneborgs mar
low streets, where the houses stood in the
moonlight. 80 old. and, with their pointed
gables. so cloister-like, heard her speak
for the first time:
Nov am at home" said she.
We alighted; the old apothecary offered
her his arm to conduct her home-it was
close by-and the rest accompanied her. 1t
was about eleven o'clock; everything was
50 still in this strange old town; its houses,
with pointed gables, bow windows, and out
buildings round about, looked singular in
the bright moonlight. The Waterman had

of-sang his verse-and ratified again.

| know instances in which, for several
mornings p,eyioua 10 the occurrence OF
calamity, PERSONS have awakened with
painful sense Of misfortune, for which they
could not account, and which was dispersed
as noon as they had time to reflect that they

twice, in very marked and unmistakable
manner. As soon as the intellectual life,

polar relations changed, and the nerves were
busted with conveying sensuous impressions

state now being transferred from the inter-
nal to the external periphery. 1t is by the
contrary change that DR.. Ennernoser seeks
to explain the insensibility to pain Of mes
merised patients.

at some distance, was murdered by black
