Talking in their Sleep.

j A correspondent of the Richmond Dispatch tells an amusing story about “speaking out in meeting” when you d re asleep. He says: z\s the cars on the Virginia and Ten.nes--rsee‘Railroad entered the Big Tunnel, in accordance the usual custom a lamp was lit. A servant girl accompanying her mistress had sunk into a profound slumber, but just as the lainp was lit site awoke, am!' still half asleep, she imagined herself in the infernal regions. Frantic with -.fright, she;implored her Marker to have ineicv on her, remarking at the same time, “the devil has got me at last.” Her mistress, sitting on the seat in front of the terrified negro, ; was deeply mortified, and called upon her: “Mollie, don’t make such’ a noise. It is I; be not a I raid.” The poor African immediately exclaimed: “O! missus, dat you! Jest what I ’sped-" ed; I aljers thought if eber I gotto.de bad place, I would see you dar.” These remarks were uttered witn such vehemence that not a word was lost, and the whole car became convulsed with laughter. We suspect that Lady will leave Mollie at home the next time she travels. We have heard of a marrred man making love in his sleep, and was only brought to a true sense of his condition by finding himself sprawling on the middle of the floor," I whither he was propelled by the muscular ; propulsion of a'pair of legs that belonged to ' his wile. “Dear Cliristovine! I adore you. My wife—what is she to me! Ido not love Irer—l never did; but my condition—her money—such a temper—jealous. O! Chris;tovtne, we will fly together, or expire in j each other's arms.” It is not to be supposed Ihat a high-spirited! wife, lying by the j side of her. husband, cool'd hear him utter such things in> his sleep and not “feel, like ; starting the hajir.” If she could, we should not consider her human. Would you!— -Veto York Atlas. I
