ST. PATRICK.

There mas probably never been man, in any
Gatlon, whose name and memory occupied so
much space in the minds of his countrymen and
others, of whom so little authentic information
has preserved, as Of this alleged Saint,
The following is about the substance of all
we have read on the subject
St. Patrick was born towards the end Of the
fourth century, in Fitzpatrick, between Dunbri-
ton and Glasgow. At sixteen he was carried
off with many of his fathers vassals into slavery,
and compelled for six months to keep cattle on
the mountains in ireland, from whence he escap-
ed through the the humanity of some ailors.-
He travelled into Gaul and Italy, and received
his apostolical mission to convert the lrish from
pope Celestine, who died in 432. Determined
on attempting the conversion of the people, he
penetrated into the remolest corners of Irelann,
baptized multitudes, ordained clergy to preside
over them, instituted monks, gave aims to the
poor Of the provences, made presents to the
kings, educated children to serve at the alter
held councils, founded monasteres, restored
health to the sick, sight to the blind raised dead
persons to life, continued his missions during
forty years, and died at Down in Ulster where

DREAMS.

The incoherence, inconsistency, and essen
tial absurdity of many of our thoughts of dream
ing, brings that state into resemblance to in
sanity, which has been remarked by more than
one medical writer. DR.. G. B. Davey, of the
Hanwell Lunatic Asylum, says:
elf we watch lunatc patient we shall per-
ceive very much of what would regard as
state of active dreaming that is to say, con"
dition which would realize action with uncon-
scious thought, An insane person often reminds
me of one asleep, and dreaming with his eyes
open, and in the exercise Of his powers. will
add, the dreamer, with one or two organs alone
active, should be disposed to consider as :,
sleeping monomanlac."
This is very striking, and aryoears to be true
and yet the mind often 8, s,ows wonderful mowers
IN Sleep A dis''~ '~.guished divine of the present
day, who' y. mis- college days, was devoted tC
mar r.lematical studies, was once baffled for sew
eral days by difficult problem, which he final
ly solved in his sleep.
Condorcet often overcame similar difficulties
in his dreams. DR.. Gregory conceived thought
in his sleep, many of which he afterwards EN-
ployed in his lectures. An eminent Scottisl
lawyer, Of the last age, had studied an import
ant case for several days. One night his wifi
observed him rise and go to his desk, where h
wrote a long paper, after which he returned t
bed. In the morning he told her that he ha'
had dream, in which he conceived himself L
have delivered an opinion on case, which ha'
exceedingly perplexcd him, and he would Civ
anything to recover the train Of thought whicl
had then passed through his mind. She direct
ed him to look in his desk, where he found tn
whole train of thought clearly written out Thi

duct of tina case.

Strange Punishment.

Mr.. Lynton lately made communication to
the Asiatic Society of London, descriptive Of
mode of punishment peculiar to the criminal code
Of the Celestial Empire, A Chinese merchant,
accused and convicted ofhaving killen his wife,
was condemned to die by the total deprivation
of sleep. The execution took place at Arnory,
in the month ofJune last The condemned was
placed under the surveillance Of three guardi-
ans, who relieved each other at every alternate
hour, and who prevented him from taking any
sleep, night or day. He lived thus for nineteen
days, without having slept for single moment.
At the commencement of the eighth day, his
suHerings we're so cruel that he begged, as a
great favor, that they would kill him by stran-
gulationl

The First Printed Book.

1t is a remarkable, and most interesting fact
that the very first use to which the discovery Of
printing was applied, was the production of the
Holy Bible. This vas accomplished at Mentz,
between the years 1850 and l455 Gutenberg
was the inventor of the art, and Faust, gold
smith, furnished the necessary funds. Had 1t
been single page, or even an entire sheet,
which was then Produced there would have
been less occasion to have noticed it; but there
was something inTthe character Of the whole af-
fair, which, if not unprecedented, rendered it
singular in the usual current of human events.
This Bible was in two folio volumes, which have
been justly praised for the strength and beauty
of the paper, the exactness Of the register, and
the lustre Of the ink. The work contained
1882 pages, and being lhe first ever printed, Of
course involved long period Of time, and ar
immense amount of mental, manual, and me-
chanical labor and yet for long time after il
had been finished, and offered for sale, not a
single human being, save the artists them
selves, knew how it had been accomplish

OF first printed Bibles, 18 copies are nov
known to be in existence, four of which are prin

CHAPTER III.

AS we were now fairly on the borders OF the
promised land, we had now only to make the
best Of our way to the region of the Placers, so
called. So, gathering up our implements which,
by the way, for convenience sake, put inside
our canvass bags we slung them over our shoul-
ders. and commenced our march. But first,
must not omit to mention one little circum-
stance noticed by us previous to our leaving for
the diggings. We had, as have already stat
ed thrown our utensils on TO the beach as we
neared the shore, and, on reaching the spot
where they lay, and STOPPING down to pick them
up, discovered that nv pckaxe had struck In
to the ground and torn up a small portion of the
soil, on which, happening to cast my eye, thot
discovered scattering particles Of gold dust, to
which called the attention of my comrades, who
agreed with me that it was gold However, not
feeling inclined to hunt gold on such an insig-
nfcant scale, besides being eager to reach the
main theatre of operations, (the great harvest OF
golden wealth, as was just saying,) we slung
our packs over our shoulders, and took up our
march for the main cynosure of all wealthlong-
ing eyes, and hurried on with a speed that
would have done honor to any hunter Of deer OF
other game requiring swift pursuit,-the mair
ambition among us being to try which shoulC

Freak of Nature.

A distinguished lady of Paris, lately gave
birth to child, which, though otherwise well
formed was totally without brains. This young
creature, like the sensitive plant, experienced
the liveliest emotion upon being touched. The
top of the head was completely fiat, which, JOIN
ed to the long and narrow jaw, gave to the face
the resemblance of the head of a rabbit. 1t llv'
ed twenty.t two hours, to the astonishment of the
doctors who had assembled to inspect this ex-
traordinary phenomenon.

The Lungs.

The following simple experiment is said to be
test of the soundness Of the lungs. Let the
patient draw in full breath, and then begin to
count as far as he can, slowly and audibly, with
out initiating the lungs. The number of seconds
he can continue is then to be carefully noted. In
confirmed consumption, the time does not ex-
ceed eight, and it is often less than six seconds.
