Prayers and provender n«ver hinder any & HARRINGTON, Q. B . SMITH, Slept tne great monarch of old! Sleepers on mother's breast. A lady was onoe passing through a Wood, in the darkening twilight of a stormy evening, to visit a friend who was watching over a dying child. The clouds were thick—the rain began to fall; darkness was Increasing; the wind was moaning mournfully through the trees.— OQhe lady's heart almost failed Der as she saw that she had • mile to walk through the woods in the gathering gloom. But the reflection of the situation of her friend forbade her turning back. Excited and trembling, she called to bar aid a nervous resolution, and pressed onward.— She had not proceeded for when she beheld in the path before her the movement of some very indistinct objeofc. It appeared to keep a little distance in advance of her, and as she made efforts to get nearer to see what it was, it seemed proportionably to recede. The lady began to feel rather unpleasantly. There was some pale white object certainly discernible before her, and it appeared mysteriously to float along at a regular distance, without any effort at motion. Notwithstanding the lady's good sense and unusual resolution,» cold ehifl began to come ovefr her. She made every effort to resist her fears, and soon succeeded in drawing nearer the mysterious object, when she was appalled at beholding the features of her friend's ehild, cold in death, wrapt in Its shroud. She gased earnestly, and there ii remained distinct aud clear before her eyes. She considered it a monition that her friend's ehild was dead, and man's journey. Sleepers happy and warm, Coxy as birds in their nest. As the knocking and scratching only followed the children, the girl who bad-seen the supposed apparition was interrogated what she thooght it was like. She d«oUrrCi it was Mrs. Kempe, who about two years before had lodged in the house. On this inforptatign, the -circa as tauces attending Mrs. Kempe's death were recollected, aqd were pronounced by those who beard them to be of a dark and disagreeable nature. 8us picions were whispered about, tending to inculpate Mr. Kempe; fresh circumstances Were brought to light, and it was hinted that the deceasod had not died a natural death—that, in foet, she had been poisoned. The knocking and scratching now began to be more violent; they seemed to proceed from underneath the bedstead of the ehild, who tras sometimes thrown into .violent fits land agita tions. In a word, Parsons garve oht .that the spirit of Mrs. Kampe had taken possession of the |M.

Crowds now went to hear the ghost; among others, Dr. Johnson, "the Colossus of British literature," who was imposed on like the rest Many persons, however, would not be duped- Suspecting a trick, with the sanction of the lord mayor, they set themselres carefully to watch the movements of the girl. The supposed ghost having announced that it would attend any gentleman into the vault under St. John's church, hi which the body of Mrs. Ketnpe was entombed, and point out the coffin by knocking on the lid. several persons proceed ad to the vault accordingly, there to await the result. On entering this gloomy receptacle at midnight, the party waited for Mme time in silence for the spirit to perform ita promise, but nothing ensued. The person accused by the ghost then went down, with severs! others, into the vault, but no effect was perceived. Returning to the bed-room of the girl, the party examined her closely, but could draw no confession from her; on their departure, however, toward morning, they arrived at the conviction that the girt possessed the art of counterfeiting noises. Further examination took plaoe, and ultimately it was discovered that she was a finished impostor. They foond that she had been in the habit ot taking with her to bed a thin and tonorous piece of wood, on which she produced the noises that had deceived such crowds of credulous individuals. Parsons, who had been privy to the plot for injuring the reputation of Mr. Kempo, with his daughter, and several accomplice*, were now taken into custody; and after a trial before Lord Manafield, were condemned to various terms of imprisonment; Parsons being, in addition, ordered to stand in the pillory. Such was the termination of an affair which not only found partisans among the weak rnd credulous, bat even staggered many men reputed for possessing sound understandings. A worthy clergyman, whose faith was stronger than his reason, and who had warmly interested himself in behalf of the reality of the spirit, was so overwhelmed.with grief and chagrin, that he did not long survive the detection ot the imposture.

Dec. 6,1867-Iy Two young noblemen, the Marquises De Rambouillet and De Precy, belonging to two of the first families of France, made an agreement, in the warmth of their friendship, the one who died first should return to the other with tidings of the word to come. Soon afterward, De Ram bouillet went to the wars in Flanders, while De Precy remained at Paris, stricken by a fever. Lying alone in bed, and severely ill, De Precy one day heard a rustling of his bed Curtain!, and, turning round, saw his friend De Rambouillet in full military attire. The sick man sprang over the bed to welcome his friend, but the other receded, and said that he had corns to fulfil hia promise, having been killed on that /Very day. Ha further said that it be hoved De Precy to think more of theafterWorld, as all that was said of it was true, and aa he himself would die in his first battle. De Preey was then left by the phantom; and it was afterward found that De Rambonillet had fallen on that day. De Precy recovered, went to the wars, and died in his first combat. Here, after a compact—the very conception of which argues credulousness or weakness of mind—we not only have ona of the parties left in anxiety about the other, hat lef in a a violent favor*and aware that hia friend was engaged in a bloody war. That a spectral illusion should occor in such a ease is a thing nat at all to be wondered at, as little as the direction and shape that the siek man's wonderings took. The fulfilment of the prophecy is the point .of1 interest; and regarding it we would simply use the words of Dr. Hibbert, in inferring to the story of Lord Balcarras and Viscount Dundee. " With regard to this point," says Dr. Hibbert " it must be considered that, agreeably to the well-know doctrineof chances, the event ( of Dundee's death ) might as well occur, then as at any other time; while a far greater porportion of other apparitions, less fortunate in such a suppose confirmation of their superaatnra! origin, are allowed quietly to sink into oblivion." $ T A R • SA L 0 O N, It will be the duty of the bosa to sweep out regularly, and to see that thera are plenty of "deaths and marriages" manufactured for the morning paper.

NOW BEADY AND FOR SALE CHEAP BILLIARD ROOMS, A respectable person, captain of a merchant vessel, told Sir Walter Scott the following story, in|illustration of illusion, from somnambulism. While lying in the Tagus, a man belonging to hia ship was murdered by a Portuguese, and a report soon spread that the spirit of the deceas ed haunted the veasel. The captain found, on making inquiry, that one of his own mates, an honest, sensible Irishman, was the chief evidence respecting the ghost The mate affirmed that the spectre took him from bed every night, led him about the ship, and, in ahort, worried his life out The captain knew not what to think of this, but he privately resolved to watch the mate by night He did ao, and, at the hour of twelve, saw the man startup with ghastly looks, and light a candle; after wtiioh he went to the galley, where he stood staring wildly for a tima, aa if on some horrible object He then lifted a can filled with water, sprinkled some of it about and, appearing much relieved, went quietly back to his bed. Next morning, on being asked if he had been annoyed in the night, he said," Y«s; I was led by the ghost to the galley; but I got hold, in some way or other* * j»r.of Ap/y water, and freed myself, by sprinkling it about from the presenoe of the horrible phantom." The captain sow told the truth, as observed; and the mate, thongh much surprised, believed it He was never visited by the gbost agtfn, the deception of his own dreaming faoay being thus discovered. Had the mate, brunt ijs hand with the candle, and, by the samo mode of reasoning which led him to believe in the banishment of the fbopf. by holy.water, formed the conclusion that the spectre hadte«cfaeCJhis hand to imprint on it a perpetual mark, what would hay* been said of th» matter by his comrades and himself in the morniag, supposing no watching to have to bava tale* plana?

JOEL BREST ON, Strange and unaccountable as this story at first appears, it may easily bo explained by somnambulism. The lady may readily have risen in her sleep, burnt her band against the bedroom grate, and, conscious of au utpleasing sensation, though not awakened by it, her fancy may have formed the whole story of the preternatural visitation, precisely as the Irish mate of the merchant vassol invented the circumstances connected with the holy water.— When wetf nd that such an explanation of the matter is accordant with observed and unquestionable facts, it would be irrational to overlook it, and seek a solution in a supposed breach of the laws of nature.

Pittston, Sept. 6, FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC MARBLE, Reminiscences of early days could tell of wilder folliee than the human heart vould care to relate. When we boy* obstructed the public highway at Four Corner* With thirty cord* of wood, and removed an obnoxious lawyer'* sign to an out-town shed—then laying in ambush for the elephant, on hi* ingress from a neighboring village—roasting stolen corn to appease hunger, they were not considered by us a* penal crimes. But the climax was the culminating point, and final settlement of the teen* of my youthful follies, viz: It was on a Sue afternoon near twilight, when the wheat field* were ripening for harvest, I and my elder brother played truaut for a swim in a brook below. Roturning, we did not go around, but hurried through the grain, bringing up In the midst of tin and hollow ware—spring "scare crows"— which we averred were not compos mentua in August, so we amused ourselves by 'increasing the sise of stones at hand, till we could see the light of d*y through the targets, not aware that the old Deacon was playing detective on his discarded kitchen utensils. Forewarned is forearmed, and when I saw my brother shying around the corner of the house with eyes like red onions, limping along. I began to realize my late. Though my father disapproved of dancing, be summoned me to follow him, and after closing the door on me, and placing m* just where I had seen bullocks and calves slaughtered, I shuddered, and thought that was a horrible plaoe for a kind father to chastise hi* son, and give him hi* first lesson in dsncing— minus music, exoept a snare drum, while I was imitating a calf or fife, which waa all the same to me. Directly the old, black, rusty, weatherworn ttuff was demonstrated to me in a lively execution of a forced dance on the barn floor, subjecting me to the prank* of a clown iu a circus. It wa* not at a corn-husking, but was gymnastic exercises—kicking up my hssls higher than I ever did before or since; a sensible lesson, hat not an agreeable one. The sever yielding beaoh switches were peactiead upon my extremities till I bad begged for junevile ignorance of wrong, and pertinently assured my father that if he whipped me any more he would have to buy me a new pair of pant*, which o*used him to "let up.*' Jjike a preco- A Friexd once visiting an unworldly philosopher, whose mind was his kingdom, expressed surprise at the smallness of his apartment.— " Why, you have not room to swing a cat f— "My friend/' was the serene, unappreciative reply, " I do not want to awing a eat."

Mr. Kempe, a gentleman from the county of Nor fork, came to reside with the sister of his deceased wife, in the house of a Mr, Barsons in Cock Inme, near Bmithfield. The lady, it appears, slept with a girl, the daughter of Parsons, and complained of being disturbed with very unaccountable noises.— From this or some other Cause, Mr. Kempe and his sister in-law removed to another lodging in Bartlett street. Here, unfortunately, the lady, who passed by tboaameof Mrs. Kempe, was attacked with small-pox, and died, and on the 2d of February, 1'760. her body was interred in a vault in St. John's church, Clerkenwell.

As the reader had enjoyed the intim. cy of the deceased to a considerable degree, be was deeply interested in the publication, whioh contained some particulars relating to himself and other friends.
