In certain conditions of the body, the - mind seems to become possessed of a new and un suspected power independent of volition—elu sive and unmanageable as the plot of a dream —to whicb we fain would give an agreeable solution, yet are helplessly carried on through a series of accumulated difficulties. Perhaps the term “natural clairvoyance” will best de scribe this power ; since, the eye of the mind looks straight through all material hindrance, anid not only perceives that which is beyond tbp horizon of the bodily eye, but forsees what ban nob yet come to pass. Of course such experiences are retry rare ; and os they generally occur at the most unex pected moments, it is next to impossible to go back, and ascertain bow the first impression mikes itself felt. Once, only, have I been cbn 'fccioos of the operation of the faculty. This took place in . Racine, Wisconsin, oh the morn ing of the Ist of March, 1855. My bed-room at the hotel was-an inner chamber lighted only by-a door opening into a ; priva£e parlor. Con sequently, When I awoke in the morning it was difficult to tell, from the imperfect light received through the outer-room, whether the hour was early or late. A lecturer—especially after his hundredth performance—is not inclined to get up at daylight; and yet, if you sleep too long,, in jmany of the western towns, you run the risk of losing your breakfast. I was lying on my back, with closed eyes, lazily trying to solve the question, when all at once, my vision seemed to.be reversed —or, father, a clearer spiritual vision awoke. Independent of fhexjJbysicai sense. My head, the pillow on which it rested, -and the hunting-case of my watch, became as transparent as air; and I saw distinctly, the hands in the dial, pointing to eleven minutes before six. I ctin only compare the sensation to la flash of lightning on a dark-night, which for the thousandth port of a second, shows you a landscape as bright as day. I sprang up in stantly, jerked forth my watch, opened it, and there were the hands, pointing, to eleven newe st tc» before »ix —lacking only the few seconds which had elapsed between the vision and its prdofl - Is this, after all, any more singular than the fast that a man can. awaken any hoar that be chooses? What is the spiritual alarm clock which calls ns at four, though we usually sleep Until sis ? How. is it that the web of dreams is broken the helpless slumber’ of the senses overcome at the desired moment, by the’sfanple passage of a thought through the mind, hours before? I was once, of necessity; obliged to cultivate thia power; and brought it, finally to sneb perfection, that the profoundest deep ceased as suddenly, at the pre-appbmted min-, ntei as-if I had been struck on the bead with a niallet. Let any one tell me clearly and sat isfoctorily, how this is done, before asking me to account for the marvel. lint, in certain conditions, the mind also foretea. This may either take place in dreams dr in those more vague and uncertain J impres tioas which are termed presentiments, j I, will only relate s single instance, since it is useless to adduce anything which is not beyond the range of accident or co-incidcnce.

We thereupon went.* up the dining room on the third and looked down into tfae street; and there stood the poetmanjn, who, as soon as he saw ns, held up a letter! at arm’s length, holding it -by the lower right-band corner. Though he whs in the street, land I. in. the third . stpryjl read.iny name upon it. 'I I arose in the morning, vrith my head "full of the dream. 'When 1 was abont' half dressed, Mr. Willis came into my room repeating the very words I bad heard in my sleep. Wo went into, the (fining room together, looked down, and there stood the postman, holding npfa.let ter by the lowjer right-hand corner ! . OF course, I could not read the address at that distance; bat my name was'upon it. In this case, the - circumstanced were altogether beyond my tjort trol ;, and the jiteral roanner in which the dream was fulfilled in every minuti particular, is its most astonishing feature. Nothing was added or omitted; the reality was a daguerreotype of jtha. vision. Never before had my friend pa ltered* myrooin at so early on honr—never he- Ifore had myifiostman held op a letter in that manner. HA coincidence only, the oconrrence |is all the mhri marvelous, ] I ! When I wall last in Florence, the sculptor, [Powers, related to me a still {more remarkable [story which hadcoma toi pass only a few day a Jbefore my arrival there, A young" English jlady of his acqoaintance, who was living With - per brother in the city, was, bn terms of great |intimaey and- affection with a lady of her own (age, who was spending the summer with her {father in-a villa among the' Appenines near litoja. j This friend had invited her to visit ■ during the summer; she bad accepted the Station, and the middle of'August was fixed mas the time. Three weeks before, how ir, the young lady bad a remarkable dream, ieemed to hler that the day of her departure the villa dear Pistoja, had arrived. Her nk was packed, and early in the morning a y curious looking oid carriage drove op to eiye her. Phe vetturino slung her trank to axletreo with ropes—a disposition of bag ;e which shb had never seen before. She k her seat, nnd for several i hours journeyed ra theivale of Arno, noticing the scenery, kvbioh was entirely new to her. Several tri-‘ png incidents occurred on the way, and there teas a delay occasioned by the giving away of he harness; but towards evening she reached the Appenine villa. > • I As she approached thevillalshe perceived the | father of her friend standing in the door with a very troubl'd countenance. He came for ward as she wis preparing to alight, laid his hand on the carriage door and said: J “My dnngh er is very ill, nind no one is al lowed to see hir. To-night is'the crisis of her fever, which w ill decide whether she will recov er* I have made arrangements for you to spend the night in the-villa of Mr. Smith, yon der ; and pray Heaven that my daughter's con dition will permit you to return to us to-mor row f Thereupon he gave direction to the vet (iurino, who diove to Mr. Smith’s villa. The host received her kindly, ushered her into a broad entrance-hall, and said; “I will endeav or to make you comfortable fbrjthe night. That will be ybiir room,” pointing to a glass door, with green curtains at the end of the hall. Here her drea n suddenly stopped. 7 | The next morning she related the whole qtbry to her brother., jFor a jfew days after ward, they occasionally referred to it: but as he received information that her friend was in excellent health, she gradually banished from rfer mind the anxiety it bad caused her. The day fixed upon for her journey at length cr aved. Whatj was her astonishment, when the identical queer old carriage of her dream drove i|p to the door, and her trunk was slung by tuples to the axletree ? This; was the com mencement; and during the Iwhole day every tning-occ’iirred precisely nS she had already ®en it. ToWard evening she arrived at the valla near Pisooja; and the father of her.friend stood in the door, with a troubled countenance. He came fprwkrd repeating the intelligence of His daughter’s illness in the same words, and ordered the vetturino to drive to the villa of Mr. Nmith. The [excitement end alarm of the yjbonglady had been continually on the increase; sp that, when [she finally reached the broad en trance half and Me. Smith said; j “I will endiavor to comfortable for the night—that wiU- be your room,” (point ing to the glais door with green curtains,) her rterves, strung to their utmost tension, gave way; and she fell upon the.door in a swoon. Fortunately there was no ground for supersti cfonrforebiodi igs. The crisis ipasaed over hap pily, and the ’ ery next day sbje was permitted t| nurse her onvaloscent friend. iHere the dream, in all its details, was naira- I three weejks before its verification—thus . titling aside any question of the imagination having assisted in the ’ latter, | It is one of the rdost satisfactory examples of second sight I hate ever heard of; and this must be my justi fication for| giving it to the world. | Judge P- ,of Indiana; has his- oeoerrtric itiea, but ah al iler jurist cannot he found-in the ft’est.

Thou art a pretty fountain,” said o man, as at the" base of a mountain in the East- herose up to pursue hw way'after 'slaking his thirst; “ thouarta pretty fountain,” said he, and pass ed 00, no more to think of it again.'Sintil his thirst returned* . Not so with another man, who stood at the samo 4 Jittle, fountain. — “ Thou art a sublime object!” said he. Now, why this difference? "I will tell’yon, or fry to, at least; .The first war thirsty, And; having drank of ; the cooling spring, and, being refresh ed, carried his, thoughts bo., farther.. It pad served hispurpose well for the time being, and he cared no more about it. The other looked dp on it as the source of a mighty river; and, in thought, be fallowed' its flow through the huge forests of India, recaiving many other streams . ah it rolled'along .toward the Ocean, thus, con stantly increasing its volnme, deepening its bed, widening its banks, and carrying on its yield ing bosom vast ships laden with the commerce of nations and constituting an arm of the sea. Who could calculate the value of such a river? Its uses, what tongue could tell; or what pen describe? They, begin with the first thirst ■quenched at its gurgling fountain, and only end with the burning up of the world. Now, I have thought that we were in the midst of more thah “.pretty fountains” here to day. And, for the sake-of being better under stood, I’ll call them girl-fountains and boy-foun tains ; and now I’ll say .every little girl and boy is either a good fountain or a bad fountain.— Jesus, who loved little children, and loves them stilt; said something about “ sweet”'fountains and “ bitter’’ fountains.. I thinkbe'mcantyOod when he said sweet, and had when he saidiftter ; if you are of the same opinion, just bold up your hands. Wall, IhavecaUedyou fountains, and have said that you were either good or bad ones. Which would you rather be ? If good ones, say good ones; if bad Ones, say bad oBes; You are fountains, then, and would rather be good, fountains [than be bad ones. So far, so good ; bat I did not mean, nor did you, that we were fountains of water; no, not at all- What fountains are you,'then? I guess you'are thinking fountains; for you have been sending out yonr thoughts to this day and ■ to this cele bration for two weeks or more; and although I do not know what those thoughts were, I guess they were very interesting thoughts to yon.. 1 guess so because you look interesting, and our thoughts have a great deal to do with oar looks. Little fountains of thought—did you ever think*of that? Well, whether you have or not, it is true. Take a person who has learned to love, to think of God, and good men and good things, and who has also learned to think that every oloud has a silver lining, and who has Required a,n ability to see it, as also to see the hand of God holding the stars .in the heavens, nnd the pearly dew-drops falling from his fingers, and you will ever find him with a smile upon his cheeks, and words of good cheer falling from bis lips. The. truth is, such a man lives in the sunshine, not because there are no shadows, but because his thoughts carry him beyond to the other side. Oh, it does one good to look at soph a man 1 His countenance. looks ns if it had been bathed m brightness, loveliness nnd beauty. Take another—him who will not think of God, but to use his name profanely ; who was never kind or obliging in all his life out of respect to Ond, but from pure ly selfish motives; who acts as if the world and every thing in it was made for him ; who Wants the sun to shine when it does not, and the rain to fall when it will not, and the frosts to keep off when they will come, and his neighbors to think well of him whin he does not deserve it, and who envies everybody who is richer or hap pier or better looking than himself; —my ! what a looking roan be is 1 Almost any body would say at first sight that be had lived on sour grapes and pickles,, and that he had been fight ing against thunder and lightning all bis days. His anger-flashing eye glares mimic lightning, and his impetuous wratby voice utters mimic thunder, A common sense child runsfrom him ns from the very devil. He looks bad, because his thoughts are bitter. The features; of his soul are drawn with horrible exactness upon his face, with,only this difference— mind takes a deeper impression than' matter can. Would any of these,little thinking fountains hero to day like to become such great bitter fountains? If you would not, Say Nnl Well, I am. sorry to say it, but let me tell you I- am really afraid you will • for it costs conaiderable.to'be a good, sweet fountain. Your fathers could raise.large crops of weeds without any plowing or hoeing ; but if they would raise great crops of good corn, (hey must plow and hoe a good.deal. So is it with your minds-4-they will keep thinking and sending forth bad thoughts without much train ing; but if you would have them send forth good thoughts and more of them, they must be cultivated; nnd,(his is the. reason why your pa rents and frieffqs are. willing to give of their money to buy Sabbath School Books.for you ; and this'is, or should be, the reason why your teachers spendtheir time with yon, listening to year recitals of God’s .word; and.this also is tfao.reasoa whyiyour superintendents question you oh your lessons, ;and impart to you instruc tion. , . - 1 Yon see, by these remarks, that these yonr friends are wishing.to give 'direction to your thoughts, so that they will flow, or ran'toward the great sea of infinite love and goodness, froftn which-flows the.istneamof redemption, fringed on, either side with flbwers of jiromise-siexolics from heaven. Godi help yon,- children, to.'love to pluck those flowers with..thankful hands and, hearts, and, in theaghtj explora that sea—not that yna may ever hope to bound' it or to fath om its depths,>bntithat you may-find employ ment suited tp yonr spiritual natures, and grow, larger of soul than, yon could hrany other pur suit. . -But yon are.not merely fountains of thought, but fountains of feeUng-also; ■ May I not be al lowed to call you feding-foimtainst And. O, what fountains are these i. Laughing, playful,' joyous fountain&faagry, bitter, waging foun tains; evec:v4rying, changlag . fountains.— Sometimes there is pot a ifippleon their surface. Onfall isiqnlct, alt isatrestand peace. .Anon; the windscf - dis'i,p,puintmeqt or day tmotion begin to blow, and these fountains are stirred to the bottom!.; they dasTi, and foam, and roar—-oh, how furiously! They break their bounds, ond are‘seen knitting the brow, firing the eye, and sending forth “ the fist of wicked ness” in mischief-dealing blows. Bad foun tains are these, and (be steams which they send forth do more barm in the world than oil the streams of melted, burning lava which have ever flsied, - But good fountains have a place in this world as well as bad ones. 0! lam glad of that.— Are you not also, girls and boys ? I have seen some of them, jond they were- beautiful to- be hold. All- around wjHere these good fountains are located, are signs hung out with great accu racy the precise location pf the fountains. Let rae'twl-youttie names of some of them : Love for the Bible; Lovej£br~the Sabbath School; Songs of praise to Thankfulness for all favors -y-BesTTe to begepd ; Desire to be useful. “ in Christ and no. confidence in the flesh.”' "Wherever you see the'first of these, anq follow pn a little, jnst a Uttjejgnd yon will bebibld the next, and so on to the next and the next, till yon reach.’ the last, and there, just there yon will see a: good fountain, and know the reason of its being good: fur there, right there you will feel your own heart made a foun tain—a fountain of delightful feeling, of rap turous joy; a fountain of music, in which the passions shall sing fii harmony, making melo dy in the ear of God 1 , thy great and good fath er—melody for yourselves, and melody for an gels. 0.1 children, lam gladto have an op portunity of telling you that, though' yop are in a world where are howling winds and-pelting storms, nnd furious tern pests, and roaring, an gry seas,' arid hungry floods,.and devouring fires ; that there are [also here gentle zephyrs, balmy breezes, singing birds and rosy bowers, quiet lakes and gliding rivers, pearly dew-drops and glorious sun-shine, and that you maybe happy here, in spitej of “the war of the e!e ‘ments and the wrath of the sky.” Yes, I nm. here to .tell you.that your hearts may be taught even in this very wicked, and, therefore, very unhappy world, to beat time to the harmony of angels, and bh made fountains of feeling, of af fections such os angels never knew. And.l am here to tell you that jit is your business to be happy. He who is nof happy, even iii this world, must have made a great blunder—a sadandbad mistake.

Myriads of flowers, clothed in rainbow beauty, emitting odors grateful to the Ismell and Inspiriting to all the man; towering mountains whoso peaks have clouds above and below them, and receiv : ing the first kiss of sunshine .in the morning and the last one at evening ; the rainbow, born in the moment, yet'spanning bended by the band of “ OurEather;” the deep, blue sea, flawing river, rippling streamlet, and the dashing cascade ;-j-but time is wanting, ns also an ability to furnish any more than a few of the diversified objects of liveliness, grandeur and beauty which roll in space, spring from , the earth, or that constitute a part of it. They are above ua, underneath us, and thrown in beautiful profusion ail (around us. In the light of these facts, do yon not see that lam justified in saying that-it is your business to be happy ? And, that if you are not happy, some blunder or mistake demands ? Little fountains of feeling—girls and boys, God wants you to be h ippy ; just ns happy as yon can bear to be—so happy that your little hearts will bound and cap for joy—so happy that you would just as soon live hero “an hun dred years to come,” as to go to heaven to morrow—so happy, that you could lay your-, selves down to die as qalmly as the smiling in fant is laid away to sleep in its “soft cradle bod.” But remember the o:-der of God—“first pure, then peaceable,” First good, then Happy. Never try to bo happy without 'first trying to be good. Aim to be gbod, and happiness will certainly come and live in your hearts. Be good, nnd you will have the elements of happi ness within yon; and you can carry these with you into a hut, as easily as you could into a palace. And now you are asking down deep in those thinking' fountains, “ How am I to become good f” I am here to tell how, and will do it now. Oo in thought, in prayerful thought to Jesus, nnd go often thus. He loves to have you come oftenj and do not be ashamed or afraid to go. He came away from heaven' to earth to convince or show you how ho loved you; how he desired your feeling hearts might know his love. Oh, he would a great deal rattier yon would cemC to him than to stay away. Gq, just nowl in thought to Jesus. Make a thinking trip tj)-day “to the fountain”, he has| “opened.” OH, lift up your thoughts to theLamb.of God j” he “ takatli away the sin of ihe world.” May ,the blessed .Saviour gently, draff' you in. thought to himself, and .finally to bis. own happy heaven. Blessings, everlasting! blessings 'be upon you children. Ameb. ‘ ’ ' ’ Tns Joke of the Oit/REaitm.—Ther follow ing'stoty isf current in Titusville.
