Like wan gray serpents crawl.

Upon the wee1y ground;

Lights up the restless seas.

A Curious CIRcUMsTAScE.-An elderly
lady, the mother Of a gentleman well known
in politics and business in this city, herself
in a low state of health, who now has her
residence in the southwestern portion of the
city, awoke from a sleep last Monday after
noon and at once broke out in fit Of yio-
lent weeping, which attracted the attention
of all IN the house When quieted, she sand
that her husband, long since dead, had ap-
peared to her in dream and told her that
her daughter was dying This incident was
related to persons in another part Of the city.
during the same day, and before the person
who told Of it had any knowledge of what il
recited hereafter. That the mother, who
knew that her daughter had been for some
time sick should become impressed with the
idea that she was dying was not singular, as
that might easily have resulted from appre-
tensions which had, no doubt. been enter
tanned The remarkable fact IS this On
the same day, and, as near as can be ascer-
tanned, at the exact time when the mother
was maniiesting distress Of mind, the daugh-
ter reused herself m her bed of sickness, in
q house on ATbor Hill and said to her at
iendgut, Why, hoT my mother is crying
and a moment hter Don't yG1 hear her

Obliged to say 50, although tue sick woman

that she heard her The younger lady died
