Prizes were awarded by the principal of our Academy, and both Hartley and Jemson received a creditable number; for, in respect to scholarship, these two were about eqnal. After the .ceremony of distribution, the Principal remarked that tnere was one prize, consisting of a gold medal, which was rarely awarded, not so much on account of its great cost, as because the instances were rare which rendered its bestowal proper. It was the prize of heroism. The last boy who received one, was young Manners, who, three years ago, rescued a blind girl from drowning.

There is, however, no necessity to eat opium to bring on frightful or distressing dreams; they will sometimes come of themselves, even when least expected. The following is a case in point: Au organist of local celebrity had been practicing with enthusiasm some of Sebastian Beeh's most elaborate fuguesUntil he had acquired the most facile execution even with the most difficult; and he had continued these exercises as the sources of his highest emotional gratification. One night, after his usual occupation of teaching music, he went to bed, but did not recollect whether he felt more than ordinarily fatigued. He dreamed ti at he had to play these fugues to a large congregation, but he found to his horror that the pedals would not move and that it was utterly impossible to give any effect to these sublime compositions. He tried todoso with great Dind intense anxiety, and with the most indomitable perseverance; but the difficulties increased, and his chagrin and disappointment were great, as he had never anticipated the possibility of such a complete failure. Hence he made still greater efforts, trying with all his energy and might to make the pedals act. Hut with all his additional labor* he could not succeed, and under a sensation of despair he awoke. He was quite jaded and physically prostrated, particularly his legs and arms, which pained him as much as if his dreamy adventure had been an actual reality. There is no doubt that if he had not actually used the muscles of his arms and feet, he had yet expended as much nervous power as if his limbs had been exercised under the perfeet volition of con- I'ittslon, I'a.

Of the scholars who had unintentionally caused the disaster, none followed to learn the fate of the wounded boy.

ALE, PORTER, &o Undoubted proof has bfcen afforded that the energy of the intellect is sometimes greater during sleep than at other times, and many problems it is asserted has been solved in sleep which has puzzled the waking sense. Cabanis tells us that Frrnkin on several occasions mentioned to him that he had been assisted in dreams in the conduct of many affairs in which he was engaged. Condillac states that while writing his Course of Studies he was frequently obliged to leave a chapter incomplete and retire to bed, and that on awakening he found, it 011 more than one occasion, finished in his head. I11 like manner Condorcet would sometimes leave his complicated calculations unfinished, and after retiring to rest, would find their results unfolded to him In his dreams. La- Fontaine and Voltaire both composed verses in their sleep, which they could repeat 011 awkening. Dr. Johnson relates that he once in a dream had a pontest of wit with some other person, and that he was very much mortified by imagining that his antagonist had tlie better of him. Coleridge in a dream composed the wild and beautiful poem of Kubla Kltan, which had been suggested to him by a passage he had read in Purchaa'a IHlgrimaye before he fell asleep. On awaking he had a distinct recollcction of between two and three hundred lines, and taking writing materials, began eagerly to set them down. Unfortunately he was Interrupted before quarter of the task was done—was called away to attend to some business which detained him an hour—and found when he returned to his writing that the remainder had vanished from his memory. The most remarkable testimony of this kind is perhaps that of Sir Thomas Browne, who declared that if it were possible, he would prefer to carry 011 his studies in hi'a dreams, so much more efficient were his faculties of mind when his body was asleep. He further adds that were his memory as faithful as his reason is then fruitful, he would prefer that season for his •' Never mind, good woman, said the scholar, I can drive your cow !"

The morning was come of a mighty day—a day of crisis and of final hope for human nature, then suffering some mysterious eclipse, and laboring in some dread extremity. Somewhere, I knew not where — somehow, I knew not how—by some beings, I knew not whom—a battle, a strife, an agony, was conducting, was evolving like a great drama or piece of music, with which my sympathy was more insupportable from my confusion as to its place, its cause, its nature, and its possible issue. I, as is usual in dreams (where of necessity we make ourselves central to every movement), had the power, and yet had not the power, to decide it. I had the power, if I could raise myself, to will it, and yet again had not the power, for the weight of twenty Atlantes was upon me, or the oppression of inexpiable guilt. "Deeper than ever plummet sounded" I lay inactive. Then, like a chorus, the passion deepened. Somegreater interest was at stake, some mightier cause than even yet the sword had pleaded or trumpet proclaimed.
