A STRANGE CASE.
How an Enemy was Rolled.


 The following graphic statement will be read with intense interest: 'I cannot describe the numb, creepy sensation that existed in my arms, hands and legs. I had to rub and beat those parts until they were sore, to overcome in measure the dead feeling that had taken possession of them. In addition, l had a strange weakness in my back and around my waist, together with an indescribable gone feeling in my stomach. Physicians said it was creeping paralysis, from which, accord ing to their universal conclusion, there is no relief. Once it faStens upon a person, they say, it continues its insidiOus progress until it reaches a vital point and the sufferer dies. Such was my prospect. l had been doctOring 8 year and a half steadily, but with no par ticular benefit. when saw an advertisement of Dr Miles Restorative Neryine, procured 8 bottle aud began using it. Marvellous as it may seem, but a few days had passed before every DlJ of that creepy feeling had left me, and there has not been even the slightest indication of it's return. I now feel as we'll as I ever did, and have gained ten pounds in weight, though had run down from ITO to 137 Four others have used Dr. Miles Restorative Nervine on my recomen- dation, and it has been as satisfactory in their cases as in mine"-James Kane, La Rue, 0.

 Long It Took to Do Ten Hours' Work. newspaper men were in an office await ing the arrival of gentleman who was to call together a meeting that they had been directed to report for their respec. tive papers.
 A number of topics was discussed, and one of these was dreams and the extreme rapidity with which mental operations are performed. A number of experiences were given. but the one that attracted the most attention was that of Call representative, who narrated what he had done in dream.
 Tt was," said he, lin 1868 that after hard days work l reached home and lost no time in retiring. Glancing at the clock as turned off the gas noticed that it was just 16 minutes after mid night.
 Shall tell you at this point how long 1 was dreaming or tell first what 1 did in my dream? That you all may better appreciate what was done, will defer the matter until the end. Bear in mind that what is to be told was all in the dream.

The Beauty of Wrinkles,

And now an authority inveighs against steaming the face as q preventive against wrinkles, alleging tn tt this is the swift est and surest process by which to pro- duce them. "The second layer of the skin becomes attenuated, and there is 8 decrease in bulk of the superficial lay ers,'' is the technical explanation which tho laity will not understand and does not need to. The simple fact is sufi- cient. But why should wrinkles be such a red rag to every woman? They must inevitably come if one lives long enough, and barring the suppression of the habit of frowning and the avoidance of dan gerous cosmetics it seems useless to fight them.
 Time was when we were taught that they were the lines of character, and time is when character, as shining forth in the expression of the face, makes the wrinkles forgotten. Watch the soul be- hind the wrinkles. Take as much care of that as you strive to of the outer layer of cuticle, which is it's external sem blance, and the wrinkles will be lost or overlooked in the serene and steady eye and quiet but smiling mouth.

"A1ld nO1U-7tOlO-I uHn dCud."
 From this period until the close of last week-an interval of nearly seven months we continued to make daily calls at M. Valdemar's house, accompanied now and then by medical and other friends. All this time the sleep walker remained ex- actly as have last described him. The nurses attentions were continual.
 It was on Friday last that we finally resolved to make the experiment of awakening or attempting to awaken him, and it is the perhaps unfortunate result of this latter experiment which has given rise to so much discussion in private cir cles-to so much of what 1 cannot help thinking unwarranted popular feeling.
 For the purpose of relieving M. Valde- mar from the mesmeric trance I made use of the customary passes. These for time were unsuccessful. The first in- dication of revival was afforded by a partial descent of the iris. It was ob- served as especially remarkable that this lowering of the pupil was accompanied by the profuse outfiowing of a yellowish ichor from beneath the lids of pun gent and highly offensive odor.
 It was now suggested that I should attempt to influence the patients arm as heretofore. l made the attempt and failed. Dr. F- then intimated de- sire to have me put 8 question. did so, as follows:
 ''M. Valdemar, can you explain to us what are your feelings or wishes now?'
 There was an instant return of the hectic circles on the cheeks, the tongue quivered, or rather rolled violently in the mouth, although the jaws and lips remained rigid as before, and at length the same hideous voice which have all ready described broke forth:
 "For Gods sake! quick! quick-put me to sleeper quick-waken me! quick! say to you that I am deadv'
 was thoroughly unnerved, and for an instant remained undecided what to do. At first made an endeavor to re- compose the patient, but failing in this through total abeyance of the will re- traced my steps and as earnestly strug- gled to awaken him. In this attempt I soon saw that should be successful at least I soon fancied that my success would be complete-and I am sure that all in the room were prepared to see the patient awaken.
 For what really occurred, however, it

 Overwork kills.
 The great Bishop, Phil ps Brooks, was stricken down in the prime of his man. hood and usefulness as the direct result ot physical and nervous exhaustion brought on by overwork.
 Now comes the news that Rev. Henry Langford the eminent Baptist divine, of Weston West Va., has just escaped utter nervous and physical prostration He is. pastor of four churches. Is it any wonder that he broke down in health? The reverend gentleman gives very interesting account of himself and his | troubles

 In the afternoon we all called again to see the patient. His condition remained precisely the same. We had now some discussion as to the propriety and feasi- bility of awakening him, but we had lit tie difficulty in agreeing that no good purpose would be served by so doing. It was evident that so far death-or what is usually termed death-had been ar rested by the mesmeric process. It seemed clear to us all that to awaken M. Valdemar would be merely to insure his instant or at least his speedy dissolution.
