Some folka are in the brbitof talking in their sleep, and Miss Betsy Wilson was ono of the number. This peculiarity she acci¬ dentally revealed to Jedediah Jenkins in a careless, conversational way. Jedediah had just finished the recital of a matrimonial dream, in which the yoting lady and him¬ self figured as hero and heroine, he haviug invented tho same for the sake of saying, at tho conclusion, it was "too good to oe true, and by thus apeaking parables, u- saring the damsel of what he dared dot speak.
