ly into her room, and taking away her dress
and gloves deposited them in another room
Presently, as usual, the fair somnambulist
began talking in her sleep; her mother
entered, as usual, into conversation with
her; and at length asked "But what have
you done with your ball dress - "Why
you know" replied she, "you have laid
it on the couch in The drawngr ON. " yes ,
continued the mother, "but your gloves
what have you done with them :" 'CYou
know well enough" she answered in an an
CRY tone, "you have locked them up in Jour
jewel-box. Both answers were correct :;
and it may here be observed that somnambu-
lists, if equivocated with in conversation, or
in any way played upon, will express them
selves annoyed, and betray angry feelings
The truthfulness of sleep-talking may, we
always be relied on. In this
state there is no attempt at evasion no
exercised to disguise any thing.

Somnambulisnl.

There can be no doubt that somnambul-
ism is hereditary. 1t is considered by all
medical men as a peculiar form of disease
1t depends physically upon the suscepti-
bility or delicacy Of the nervous system :;
and on this account females are more liza
bic to it than males; and in youth it man
ifests itself more frequently than in ma
ture age. 1t is caused mentally by any
violent and profound emotion as well as
by excessive study, and ovcr-fatigling the
intellectual faculties. Some persons walk
periodically in their sleep; the fit returns
at stated intervals-pcrhaps two or three
times only in the month. 1t has been also
observed although we by no means
vouch for the fact--by an eminent German
physician, that some persons walk at the
full, others at the new moon, but especial
ly at its changes. Whatever may be the
cause of the affection, somnsmbulism un-
doubtedly assumes different degrees of in
tensity. The first degree evinces itself by
the movements we have referred to, and
by sleep-talking. There are many curl
Gus circumstances to be observed concern
inc sleep-talking. The intonation of the
voice differs from the waking state, and
persons for the most part express them
selves with unusual facility.
We were acquainted, says writer in
HousehoH Words, with young lady ac-
costomed to sit up in bed and recite poetry
in her sleep, whose mother assured us that
she some times took cognizance of circum-
stances which she could not, in any way
account for. On one occasion they had
been to ball; and, after the daughter was
in bed and asleep, her mother went quiet5

An Alarmed Trio.

A few months since, son of Erin,
about nine O'Clock one evening, called at
a country inn, and demanded lodgings for
the night. 1t was evident from his ap-
pearance and actions that he and liquor
had been quite jolly companions through
out the day.
The landlord was lazy, good natured
soul, and had imbibed rather freely him
self that day. IF | give you light, and
tell you where the room is, you can find
the place. said the landlord.
och, an it's meself that can do, that
most Elegantly. Jist show me the way,
an I'll find it asy.' rejoined the Irishman.
The directions were given him, and al
so candle. He was directed to 60 to
room in the second story of the house.
BY the time he had reached the top of the
stairs, his light had bebomc extinguished,
and he had forgotten in what direction he
was to 90. Seeing rays Of light issuing
from a room, the door to which stood
slightly ajar, he rcconnoiterd the inside of
the room, and found it to contain bed, in
