running splendidly ever since. He won the

A Remarkable Instance of TeIepatr


An instance Of sympathy or telepathy,
which has been related to me is in some of
its features uncommon, so far as l know,
even among strange visions. Two young
men, brothers, one being an officer in the
British army and the other a well known
and highly imaginative popular writer,
were sleeping in the same room. The Off
Ger, my informant, was reused by moaning
cries from his companion, as Of extreme
terror and distress.
Shouting loudly to awake him. he asked.
"What was the matter?" To this question
his brother, when fully awakened, would
give no answer; he declared that he could
not then tell the cause of his distress,
While wondering at this, my informant
himself began to fancy that there was
something in the room. Gradually in the
gloom, half way between the foot of his
brothers bed and the opposite wall, there
developed itself dusky figure of forbid
ding aspect
What is that he exclaimed, but his
brother said he saw nothing. After
awhile, to solve the mystery, he rose from
his bed and approached the figure, which
disappeared rs he did SO. The next morn
ing the dreamer explained that he had
seen standing at the foot of his bed a fig
ure which filed him with intense horror.
1T was the devil"
1t is very remarkable that in this in
stance it was not until after the dreamer
had ceased to believe in the specter as a
reality, and not until after the image had
so far faded away that when awake he
saw nothing, that the telepathic impress
sion made upon the mind of his compan-
ion gradually gathered strength enough to
develop itself as fearful shape.-Black-

The happy boy was heard to remark: 81

| The inquiries of the executor disclosed
the fact that Samuel Karch had died in
great poverty five years previous to the
| death of his brother, so that Mrs Bryson
became the possessor of all the boarded
wealth of the miser, Jasper Karch.
