A CURIOUS STORY.

A lady having been interested in the pc
rusal Of an article on somnambulism, pub
ished in the chronological Journal some
time since, communicates the following in
terestipg facts as among the particulars of
her own psychological experience After
speaking of course Of unwilling psyche
logical infractions and victimzation, by
which she lost her health aud became a
confirmed dyspeptic, she proceeds thus:
cit was at this period, when the cnfec-
bled organs rejected the most simple nour-
ishment, and the morbid appetite was more
clamorous than when il, health, that l
became quite noted for sleep walking.
would get up at night, go softly into the
pantry, and help myself plenlifully to all
the good things could find. The moment
[ awoke in the morning, commenced vom-
ling, and threw up many things that [
knew positively had never swallowed 1,
Of course, had no knowledge of what 1 did
in my sleep.
g. This was constant practice for some
weeks. My friends had become greatly
alarmed. They thought was playing off
the grossest deception. What else could
they think? In vain they threatened and
cntreatcd. Vain were all my protestations
f innocence. The proof of my guilt was
before us, and yet, in the purity of my soul,
| could say, in this thing L am innocent
One night, after several weeks of painful
anxiety, my father, as he lay awake, heard
slight noise on the stairs. Getting up to
see what it might be, he saw me in my
night dress stealing along towards the pan
try. lie saw at glance that l was utterly
unconscious of what ] was doing. He did
not wake me hewever, but waited to see
what would de- l entered the closet, and
made hearty meal and he said he never
in his life saw person eat when it seemed
to do them so much good. He said lie was
verv much amused to see how much art
used to remove all evidence of my nights
work and SO effectively did 1 do this, tat
no one ever suspected it till 1 was caughtin
the act. Next morning I awoke, as usual,
too sick to raise my head from the pillow
and oh, how thankful was |, when my IA
ther entered the room with smile, saying
he could now explain the mystery.
For many years after this, on refining at

secured to the bed post in such way that
I could not remove it myself How many
times | awoke and found myself tuggiDg
away with might and main to break the re-
straiuing cord. If this was omitted. was
sure to get up and do some mischief. At

DAILY EVENING STAR.
TIE OLD TURNPIKE,

We hear no more Of the changing hoof
And the stage-coach rafting by;
For the Steam King rules the Travelled world,
Aud the old Pixies left 10 die!
The grass creers DER the finty path,
And the healthy daisies steal
Where once the stage horse, day by day,
Lifted his iron heel.
No more the weary stranger dread,
The toll Of the coming morn; ~
No more the busting landlord runs
At the sound of the echoing horn;
For the dustlics still uron the road,
And brishteyed children play
Wee once TIE clartering hoof and wheel
Rattlcl along he way.
No more we hear the crack ng whip,
Or the strong wheels rumbling sound
And, ah! the water drives us on,
And an Iron Horse is found!
The coaca stands rus ting in the yard,
Ard the horse has sought the blow;
We have spanned the world with an iron all,
And the Steam King rules US now!
The Old Turnpike is pike no moro,
Wide open stands the gate;
We have made us road for our hcr:e to stride,
Which We rid. at fl,ing rate;
We have filled the valleys and levclcd the hills
And tunne'ed the mountain side,
Ard round the rough crag's dizzy verge
FearlesSly COW We ride!

family, and wept because they did not
come. This was the last of my sleep walk
ing. From this time 1 was not permitted
to sleep alone
But now comes the strangest part of the
story. From that period up to the present
time, l have very often seen in my sleep
transactions, that after few weeks or days
transpired exactly in accordance with nv
dream. At one time dreamed that a hor
riblc disease had prostrated one of our
neighbors-a lady, who was then in good
health l saw in my sleep the doctors
horse Stop at the gate, saw the lady die.
and heard my sisters express their fears Of
taking the disease, if they went ia to dress
the corpse. But L thought that they did
go, and that enc Of them cought the disease:
saw her in dark room, her whole person
covered with loathsome eruption; saw
her get better, go to the door and take
cold. Then came relapse, but in some
what different form. Then one and another
of our family came down with the Same
terrible disease, until we were all sick TO-
gether.
The neghbors all stood alott, for fear of
the contagiou, and we were almost alone in
our affiiction.
Such was the dream; related it ia the
morning, but thought no more of it. I've
weeks passed by, and tue same lady was
taken sick with measles, III the most malg
nant and contagious form. The neighbors
all fled from the house in terror, except nv
sisters. The lady died, aud then heard
again the same remarks about dressing the
corpse that L heard in my sleep. | spoke of
1T at the time as a strange coincidence, and
one of them said she wondered if the rest
would come true also. Suffice it to saw. it
did, even to the most trifing particular
My sister took the desease and was very
sick. Recovering, she went to the door
and took cold. The same day she was cx-
posed to the small pox, and again she was
brought to the very brink of the grave. We
all took the disease from her, and were all
sick together.
Another time was away from home, and
dreamed that an invalid sister was sick
and dying. | saw her laid out after death.
in my sleep, and witnessed post mortem
examination. The body, before burial, and
the grave, after the funeral, were closely
watched, lest the corpse should be stolen by
medical students. This, and other circum-
stances too numerous to mention, saw iu
my dream. The very next day the news
came that my sister was dead And not
only so, but everything transpired just as /
saw it in my dream.
A few days since, VIC engaged girl to do
our house work. The next night dreamed
that she was sick and could not come. But
| saw another doing the work, whom we
called Lizzy. Next morning | told my Sis
ters that Miss c. would not come to us, that
sickness would prevent. They did not be-
lieve, Of course, until note, saying that
she had severe cold and could not come
But we have nsw another girl, and her name
is Lizzy.
Now, sirs, can you tell me q reason for all
this? Yes, all this, and very much more of
the same character To me it is wonderful
past my comprehension entirely"
