ed, but still marked with traces of suffering and anxiety, and, warmly thanking her friend for what had been already done, adjured her, in the most touching language, (repeated by the narrator with wonderful power and pathos,) to prevail upon the zealous intercessor to engage once more — but once again — in prayer, on her behalf. Madame L--, deeply moved, did as she was requested, and wrote at once to--, who happened at this time to be absent at the distance of two days journey. On the third night the spirit once more stood by her friend's side, with an aspect of complete tranquility, and surrounded with angelic radiance, declaring that all was now well. Two days more, and — bursts into Madame L--'s presence, pale, and greatly agitated. "Woman, woman!" he exclaimed, "what have you done?

On being questioned as to the cause of her agitation, she pointed to a sofa, and, weeping bitterly, declared she had seen descend upon it the figure of her elder sister, Rosalie, then on a visit to some relations at or near Havre. The countenance of the phantom was pale and death-stricken.--This occurred at 4 o'clock in the afternoon of the 17th September. Two days after, tidings arrived that Rosalie L — had been unhappily drowned in a boating excursion at Havre, at (it was affirmed) the precise moment of the appearance. As another instance, here is a circumstance minutely related by Monsieur M--, a retired French officer, in a letter to a friend: "Left an orphan at an early age, I was brought up under the care of a kind-hearted god-mother, who could scarcely have cherished me more had I been her own offspring.

ucing him, on his own earnest request, into the navy. Several years passed, during which the young man advanced rapidly in professional and general knowledge, and was to all appearances on the outset of a prosperous career, when, one rude November night, about half-past 12, the inmates of Lady S--'s country-house, at which she was then residing in the absence abroad of Sir M--, were aroused by a loud ringing at the bell. Lady S--, herself awakened, heard the step of her steady old butlere foot of her bed. Believing at the moment that it was actually himself, she had accosted him-- "What, Edward, you here?" The figure immediately disappeared. News shortly arrived that the young man had perished at sea on that wild November night, between the hours of twelve and two. The following singular story, belonging, perhaps, more strictly to the realm of dreams than visions, was related to the writer a short time since, by the lady of a distinguished German diplomatist

They are cheerful creatures-- And quiet as the sunbeams — and most like, In grace, and patient love, and spotless beauty, The new-born of mankind. To proceed at once to illustration, here are two instances of "intuition," both brief and true. The first is supplied by a gentleman well known in French literary circles, whom it induced to bestow much attention on that and kindred subjects. In 1845 he was visiting a lady of his acquaintance at Rouen. They were engaged in earnest conversation on the subject of the future prospects of the lady's children, the youngest of whom — a girl of eighteen--sat working beside them. Suddenly the latter started from her seat with a loud shriek, and threw herself into her mother's arms.

ancholy. Nevertheless, under the influence of some impression caused by the plaintive summons, I refused to play any longer, and presently returned alone to Harfleur. On reaching my godmother's house I was shocked to learn that she had expired during the afternoon, pronouncing my name twice, and breathing her last sigh at the moment of the second summons I had heard.-- These facts are well known to some twelve or fifteen people at Harfleur and at Quillebœuf, most of whom are still (in 1854) living, and were I to live fifty years the sound and the impression will never depart from my memory." But, of course, these so-called facts had their common source in the narrator. Therefore, as a question of evidence, no corroboration is gained by their being known to the dozen or fifteen people still living. The heroine of our next illustration is Mrs. D--, an English lady. When, five years ago, Mrs. D — became a widow, it pleased the brother of her husband to dispute the disp

might wrestle for her in prayer, and emancipate the afflicted spirit, if it might be, from its present intolerable condition. This condition she described as one of an eager longing to repent, but of perpetual contention with some terrible hindrance, only removable through the means suggested. Much troubled in mind, Madam L--, after some deliberation, resolved to appeal to the strongest and most ardent soul within the range of her acquaintance, in the person of--, sometimes called the "German Luther." To him, accordingly, she made her appeal. The good man consented, and redeemed his promise with characteristic zeal. Soon after, the apparition revisited Madame L--. This time with aspect more composed, but still marked with traces of suffering and anxiety, and, warmly thanking her friend for what had been already done, adjured her, in the most touching language, (repeated by the narrator with wonderful power and pathos,) to prevail upon the zealous intercessor to engage once mor

ed in prayer as he was desired, he felt as though at once environed by all the powers of evil. Nevertheless, with reeling brain and bursting heart, and all but overcome, he steeled himself to the very utmost, and struggling on through unutterable mental torture, at length regained his calm. But never more, for him, such fearful championship! A broad distinction, of course, lies between cases of mere cerebral excitement and such as we have before adduced. Hallucinations are as fully recognized, if not quite so common, as colds in the head. Few of those who must have noticed the twitch or toss of the head peculiar to the late eminent counsel, Mr. B--, were aware that it was engendered by a perpetual vision of a raven perched on his left shoulder. A gentleman now residing in Broadway, New York, transacts business daily under the immediate supervision of his great-uncle, who, in a laced coat and ruffles, occupies a large arm-chair placed expressly to receive the honored vision.
