My Spirit Bride.
I have a bride ;—I see her noi,
Vet what; the evening shades descend
I hear her gentle voice of love,
My beautiful—my spirit friend !
I know her face is passing fair,
'Her eyes frith holy radiance bright ;
Her lips are formed for truth and smiles,
Which may the coldest heart excite.
In fancy oft her small, white ham],
I feel upon my weary brow;
And know her Guardian spirit near,
Watching my footsteps even now
And this sweet spirit bride I love
With more than earthly passion pure;
Our souls are linked by deathletts ties.
Unknown in time's dark passing hour.
When clouds roll on my darkened sky,
And life's wild tempests round Inn beat,
I look to heaven and her (or aid,
And find a sweet and sure retreat.
And when this mortal frame dissolves,
Commingling, with its kindred sod;
Rising ahove the wreck of worlds,
Our spirits shall commune With God

The Nan who has Slept Five Tears.
We called yesterday to see the man
has been asleep for five veius, and whose
case was detailed in the Tintes some weeks
since. We found him in what seemed like
a sound sleep. He , was lying in bed, his
eyes nearly closed, his respiration rather
slower than is usual, his breathing a little
stertorous. pulse some sevent -five strokes
in a minute, soft and weak. Omattempting.
to open his eyes, he firmly closed them, and
when, by force, the lids were opened, the
eyes were rolled upward so that it was im
possible to see the pupils: The mouth was
slightly opened ; on attempting to open it
wider'', the jaws were instgutly locked.—
There was a constant tremor oldie eyelids,
and from his mouth there teas some dig ve9.
112".. llis bOd v was extremely emaciated ;
his arms were folded upon his breast, and
any attempt to remove them was strongly
resisted. The muscles seemed rigid and
tense when the effort was made, and indeed
it was impossible, without violence, t o
change at all the position of his limbs.
MCC during our stay, he drew a long breath,
like a man who is about to turn in It is sleep.
At another time. he hitched himself- up a
little in bed. Ile was lifted up bodily and
seated on the side of the bed ; his head was
still bent forward upon his chest, his legs
crooked under him at the saute angle, and
his arms folded as when he was lYing.—
There was nothing to indicate that he would
not retain the same position for weeks. We
lifted one foot, the other came up with it.—
There was little or no bending at the knee,
or at the hip ; the feet were raised only as
the upper part of the body was carried back
wards. Ile was placed standing upon the
floor. It required afew moments to balance
him exactly ; after that, he stood in the
same position so long its we remained ;'there
was nothing Co indicate that he would not
maintain the same posture for a month.
This certainly is it most marvellous case.
There is not the slightest chance fur any col
lusion or deception in the matter. Many
of our best physicians have examined
none, so fur as we can hear, believe any de
ception in the case to be possible. From
physicians in the Western part of New
York, and from men of the highest standup.,
we are assured that the story which, is told
of him is perfectly trite.
Though we have given a history of it h. -
fore, a brief restatement is w a rranted by th e
interest created by his presence here. fits
name is Cornelius Vain - inn ;he was born in
Schuharie county, but has liv i d .since he
was seventeen years of age in Clarkson,
Monroe county, not far front Rochester.—
He was a hard-working limn, a good worker,
temperate, trusty, and at the time when hi s
strange sleep Caine on, he was working mu
the farm of Mr. Moses Jennings. His
another is .dcatk has a father and two
brothers living in
; Clarkson. On rho 19th
of June, 1848, he felt unwellenOugh to call
in Dr. John S. Cole, who found him com
plaining, of some pain in the stomach and
in the head, for which he prescribed. Af
ter this, without becoming any more sick,
his sleep each night grew longer, until at
last it was found impossible to wake him.—
Out-of this sleep he has never come, to re
main wakeful for more than sixteen hours
at a time ; and the aggregate of all his wa
king hours since the seizure is not over three
days. At first Ahoy were oftener, but "" '
the waking intervals recur about eelY six
weeks. The laSt time he awoke was while
he was in Rochester, some ter -
weeks since,
which gives us a hope tluyins waking hour'
now approaches, arid tlAt we may see him
in his wakeful co;
-anion. When awake,
he seems totally unconscious of his peculi
arity, and has:mid some things which indi
C:=sll
cate that he remembers matters as they
were before his change. They say that he
straightens himself up then, and walks as
limberly as others. Yet. now to handle his
limbs, we fear that they must be partially
anehylosed. But on this point we are not
satisfactorily informed.
His diet consists principally of milk,
sometimes with a hide bead soaked in it.
It is with some difficult) , that it can be ad
ministered. The jaws must be forced open
as in tetanus. and the liquid poured in be
tween his teeth. Once he went without
any fond for five days ; but his friends ob
jected to any fluffier conduct of the experi
ment, thon2h there was no change in his
symptoms during that time. \l,lien the
seizure occurred he is said to have tveimffied
160 pounds ; tow he cannot weigh over 90
pounds. I Its heirila was six fe,q. two inches.
The secretion of the kidneys is discharged
mot , - or twice a day ; it is very hi;mh colored,
and no: much diminished in quantity. Pos
sildc it is from halOt, possibly front some re
mains of consciousness. that in this matter
Imp is subject to time wishes 9f his attendant:3.
The alvine evacuations are very scanty, oc
cu, ring not oftener thim at iotervals of from
six to twenty days. Once he was left stand
ing for three days ;• there was no change in
his position during that time.
We are not infortned definitely as to the
medical treatment to which he has been
sul:jecfed. We are told, however, (and lie
has scars that attest it,) -that he has been
hiistered and bled, silljOCied to issues, setons,
and counter-irritation of almest every sort ;
that tonics and s u dden stimulants have all
boon applied : but medicine has exhausted
its resources in vain. Once he was thrown
into the water, hut it produced no change.
His personal appearance is anything but
prepossessing. The beard, which covers
his face and Imps, stands erect, and the hair
of his head id's° stands on end. We are
insured that this is no peculiarity in the
family, and that nothing of this sort, no leti
delley to epileptic or kindred diseases, has
ev;a• been noticed in the-family
Nledical men regard this case with the
pr ,, tatindest interest. It is entirely without
a parallel in medical history. Catalepsy it
ht.- , been calied, but the rigidity MM.. inus•
cies is quite uncommon ; indeed, the limbs
of the cataleptic generally seein to he plas
tic, maintaining the position in which they
are placed—yielding readily, however, to
any counterbalanci n g power.
We have seen another form of it, in
which, though the head, the neck, or the
limbs would take any posture given them,
after the lapse of a few moments they
w add begin gradually to return to the posi
tion occupied at the, time of the seizure.—
The maintenance of the cataleptic state for
even a few days is extremely rare. The
manic spasm of the month upon attempting
to open it, the forcible closing of the eyelid, °
and the other . slight indications of coni.,cious
ness, are not common in catalepsy.
The ecstasy of nosologists recognizes a
lack of all consciousness and recognition,
and great muscular rigidity, but more or
less mental excitement is supposed to be
indicated by that term. Strange ecstatic
seizures connected with hysteria are on re
cord.
Cases arc recorded w here lethargy—or
cpta p hora, us some prefer to call it—and
coma have been greatly prolonged, but in
these we believe the voluntary motions of
which we have spoken were entirely absent.
No caw, however, of either lots been pro
tracted for years as has this. This curious
case seems bath to Emilia all ioedical skill,
and to (JOY the. history of medicine to ad
duce a parallel.—S. Y. Time'.
