to me as if I had gone to visit you.
 Impossible,' I cried; tell me what | makes you think so.'
 , My wife then told me that seeing | the great storm raging, and knowing
 of the loss of the Africa bound for | Boston, which sailed the same day we
 left Liverpool for New York, and had | gone ashore on Cape Race, she had | been very anxious about my y.The | night before, the same night when, as I have said. the tempest commenced to abate, she had stayed awake a long time thinking of me, and about four o'clock in the morning it seemed to her that she must come and fine me. Crossing the angry waves of the vast sea, she imagined that she came to a , black ship, low in the water; she
 climbed on board, and, going down to the companion stairs, passed through h
 the ship until she reached my state room- Tell me- she said are all the state rooms like the one I saw you in from the under one? There was man in the upper berth who looked straight at me. and for a moment I was afraif to come in, but at last T. came up to you, bent over you kissed you, press ed you in my arms, and then I went away s.

 The account continues: "The New York Herald says that the City of Linn
 erick left Liverpool Oct. 8, 1865, Queenstown the 5th, and arrived at her wharf early on Oct. 2S.
 ''1t also tells of the great storm, of the critical situation of the steamer and of the shipwreck of the Africa. InQury has confirmed in various ways this strange story. MT. Wilmots sts- ter, who was on the same boat writes:
 "On the subject of the singular ex- perience of my brother one night on board the City of Limerick, remem- Der that MT. Taft, who that morning took me down to breakfast because of the terrible storm which was raging. asked me If the night before had room he shared 'No,' I answered, Why" Because, he said. I saw a woman all in white who came to see your brother"
 "In answer to your question, did you see anything peculiar about the man in the upper berth? I must answer that after so long time I cannot speak with any certainly as to minor details. but I know that I was much troubled by his presence and by per
 cetving that he was watching me from above. think that l told my and I know that all day had vivid impression that I had been to see my husband. This impression was so strong that I felt myself reassured prise. Mrs. 8. R. wilmot."
 E The account continues: rThis re- markable case deserves particular at tention- It is rather old. The account was probably written more than 20 years after it took place. One of those who saw it is dead and cannot give an account of what he saw at first hand. We cannot feel certain that the testimony of the witnesses after so long time had passed is exact, how ever honest it may be, nor can we trust all the details. Yet, after all these reservations, there is doubtless a remarkable correspondence between the impression Of the three persons. Mrs. WiImot had, either dreaming, or awake, a vision of her husband, and was able to make her way to him through the obstancles that surround ed him MT. Wilmot dreamed what his wife thought, and MT. Tait, awake. saw with his own eyes what seemed a dream to MT. Wilmot. These are three inexplicable facts which we are forced to admit"
