Life OF Prof. De Morgan.

Life OF Prof. DE Morgan.
DIR. Briggs, when quartered in the
Hill Country, used to meet once week
with the officers and others, the custom
being to breakfast at each others
houses after the sport was over. On
the day for DR.. b. s turn to receive his
friends he awoke at dawn and saw a
figure standing at his bedside. Having
rubbed his eyes to make sure that he
was awake, he got up, crossed the room
and washed his face in cold water. He
then turned, and, seeing the same figure,
approached it, and recognized a sister
whom he had left in England. He ut
tered some exclamation and fell down
in swoon, in which state he was found
by the servant who came TO call him for
the hunt. He was Of course unable to
join his hunting friends, who, when at
breakfast on their return, rallied him as
to the cause of his absence. In the
midst of the talk he suddenly looked up
aghast and said, in trembling voice:
lis it possible that none of you see the
woman standing there?' They all de-
clared there was no one. II tell you
there is; she is my sister. beg yon all
to make a note of this, for we shall hear
of her death"
All present, sixteen in number, of
whom Sir John Malcolm was one, made
an entry into their note books of the oc-
currence and exact date. Some months
after this, by the first mail from Eng
land that could bring it, came the news
that the sister had died at the very time
of the vision. having on her death bed
expressed strong wish to see her broth
er and to leave two young children in
his charge.
