positive indication,' that. the nense • of

tion. • 'Every one is aware, that a pe- I are so wed known to every- one, that
it is needless to enlarge upon the f ree
and impressiveness v1iic1i they 113ay pc-
easionally assume. When • they bear
upon an interesting and important sub -

sho ild deeply afie t the mind, and per
haps leave the parties to whom they oca
eu rred, in permanent doubt as to wheth-
er they were merely dreams or super-
natural visitations. We shall here
quote a case remark Oda in pon, ant.
one, whieh is not nientionee 111 _Engles],
wo-rks on this subject: itis -tont by the
compiller of Les:Clauses Clebres. Tw -
young noblemen, the Marviies de Ram-
bouillet and De Precy, belonging to
two of the first familiesof France, made
an agreement, in the warmth of then
friendship, that the one : who did iirs
should retnin to the other -with tidings
of the werld to come,. Soon afterward
De Rambonillet went to the Wars ii
FianderS, While De Percy remained at
?a ns, stair ken: by a fever. Lying alone
in Led, and severely ill, be cne day
het.r.I a elmli g of his bed-ct r ain:, and
turn.ng round, saw his friend lie, Ram'
bomllet in lull inAlitary attire. Tin
sick man sprang oer the bed to wei
come his irienif, but the other receded.
and said th t he had come to fulfil In
promise, having been 1 illed thai
very day. He further said, that it be
'loved De Procy to think more, of tin
after -world, as all that was • said of i
was true, and asthe himself would die ie
his fist battle. De Precy was theL
left by the phantom ; and it was after
xvards found that De Rambouillot hat
fallen on that day. • De Pre -,y rover
went to the wars, And died in hi
ilrst combat.
Here, afier a compact—the very con-
-option of which to gates credulousneas
or weakness of mind -2 ---we not only have
one of the parties -left in anxiety aboui
the other, out left n a. violent fever.
Ind aw?u'e that- his friend was engage(
in a hioody war. • That a spectral il
iusion shoiala occur in such a case, is t.
thing mit at all to be wondered at, ae
little as the direction and shape that the
side man's winderings OA. the ful
tilment of the prophecy is the point
interest : and regarding if we would si.0
ply use the words of' Dr. Hibbert in re
ferr:ng to the story of Lord Balearra:
'Vise° Oil t BUD uee. Lord BalcalTas Wat
confined as a Jacobite in the castle o:
Edinburgh, while Dundas WI(
for the same cause; and on One 0-..cas:
iynsthe apparition of the lattel talnc
the bedside of Balcarras, looked E}A lun
stead-fastly, .eaned for some time 01
the mantle -piece, and then walked
away. It afterwards appeared . ti. a
Dundas fell just rabolit‘tbe time' atKiI .
iiecrankie.' With regard to this po in t,
iavs Dr. I: ibbert, it must be consid
ed that,. agreeably 10 the well-knowL
itecfrine of ihanees, the event (of Dim-
dee's death), might as well occur then
AS at any (Abel time; while a far greaser proportion of other apparitions,
..t...)ss fortunate in sueb a supposed con-
eirmation of the e supernsturai
are- allowed quietly 6o sink into obli-
vion.' `Deis observation applies equally
is well to the eaSe. of De Precy as t�
that ef Ealcw ras, each 'of whom knew
iat 1ii-; friend was then hotly caapaign-
if.g and conld m )St probably even guess
f;om the late -.t bulletins, on what day
the hostile armies would deeisely Feet.
We are not told whether or not Bal-
carras, like De Precy, was in ill health ;
.but the Scottish lord was cOnfined on a,
&large of high treason, and on Dundee's
life or death, vietory or defeat. the fate
of the prisOner must have been felt by
himself to rest. This Was enough to
give ins brdship a vivid dream.; and
even ogive him a waking portraiture
of Dundee, after the fashion or the b. st
of Curran case.
Bat thonh explanation - may thus
he given of th 3 common -run of appari-
tion ceases, it may seem to some that
there are partictilar ones not to be so
accounted for. Ot this nature, such
readers may say, is the weThwar-
ranted atory .of the Irish lady of rank,
who haying married a second time, was
visited in the nigi t time 1 y the spirit of
her husband, from whom she received a
notification of the appointed period of
her own deitth. The, lady was at, first
