understand my thoyglhs from afar, without touc hing her. I said I did not know but was going to try. I sat four or five feet distant from her, fixed my eyes upon her face, and called her by her name; immediately she moved her head towards nve and said very audibly, what do you wish for, sii V7 We were all in amazement. Then 1 approached her, took up her hand, and talked with her two or
; three minutes. As it was irrowinsr late. I susr-
gested the idea of bringing her to her sleeping room, in order to procure her a good night's rest. The room having been prepared by Mrs. Pales, 1 mentally requested the somnambulist to go to bed. She made an aftimativc motion with her head. Then I gave Iter my hand she got up very readily, and walked into her sleeping room, her eyes being perfectly closed. I left her there with Mrs. Kales, and re-entered the parlor with Mr. Richards and Mr. Falcs. A few minutes being elapsed, Mrs. Falcs came and told us that the somnambulist was in bed. 1 entered the room with Jlr. Fales I approached Miss Gleason, and mentally asked her whether she wished for anything? She ?aid. I should like to have some water; a
tumbler was then presented to her b Mr. Fales, but she would take no notice of it. 1
took the tumbler, and magnetised it, without pronouncing a single word. I presented it to her, and she immediately held out her hand from the sheet'-, and before driking, jcslinglv, said, I hope your water is good, ami costs you nothing. She then put the tumbler to her mouth, and drank the very last drop. Unobserved that she kept the glass to her mouih for half a minute, ami sucked as a child would its mothers milk. She then took it from her mouth and asked for some more. All this scene was the most interesting and impicssive that I have ever witnessed. A few injinctiis after, I held my right hand on her forehead, and mcntaly bade her good night. She answered very distinctly, at the same time gnuping my hand, "good night to y u when shall I see you again?"' Te-morrow morning at half past 8 o'clock. That is rilu." Then again my hand on her forehead, I wished her a profound and restoring sleep, and
told her, mentally, t sleep until eight o cIock
She answered, - I understand u.
him her hand, in a friendly manner, and be-. about the sevmth mouth, and, subsequently, gan to hold conversation with him. I signi-jthose of the upper jaw; next the inferior and
iu.u mail wouia cause the communication to superior lateral incisors in succession, then cease. I merely wished that it would be so; the first lower double and the fust upper; next and immediately the somnambulist pushed a-!thc inferior and superior canine teeth, succesway l)r. Mauran's hand, and ceased to hear sivrly; and, lasth,the second molares of each him. Another eentlemnn tried the samp v. law.

reurea the length ot the room, and while eight or nine persons were standing between the somnambulist and me, I put the qucston simply by moving my lips, without uttering any sound. (She answered distincly H cents, which was correct.) This other question was written on a piece of paper and handed to me. " How many cuts have you woven in a week I" She answered sometimes more and sometimes less." Charles Poye.v.
From the Philadelphia Saturday CAren. TIIF. HUMAN TEETH. If vc exi.rpt the eye and the brow, there is perhaps no part which has so often been the suhjert of eulogy and admiration of poets, as the teeth, 'the rows,of pearl." These eulogies are founded ;n nature. For that which attracts by its symmetry and perfection the attention of genius, is generally found not alone handsome and attractive, but useful. Some philosophers have gone so far as to assert that our ideas o( beauty are bated on the fitness of objects for tlieir particular oflire; which properly translated means their utility. This assertion, when applied to the teeth, e"e, brow ;r.'fort hi:ud, is dubtless correct. Beautiful and well arranged let lb, denote no inferior powers of njalicati in and expression. The first i all imj!rtant t mir physical health, and the tpcond is necessary to a proper exhibition of thought and sentiment.
i he oidiuary number of teeth in an adult,
1 he loilowing is an approximation to the times at width they appo.ir. From five to cvght months, the four central incisors. From seven to ten, the four lateral incisors. From twelve to sixteen, the four anterior molares. From fourteen to twenty, the four canine. From eighteen to thirty, the four posterior molares.
Stkam Voyages. The longest steam voyage undo taken at present is from Corfu, bein' l.tHJO miles, and is accomplished at an ave rage speed of seven ai.d a half miles an hour.

A .Magnificent Picture. An extent of navigable communication of mere than thirty .housand miles, is afforded by the inland waters of our country. On the banks of these, including lakes, streams, and canals, there are upwards of live hundred flourishing ullages, many of which will be cites soon, ou their bosoms, five thousand vessels, five thousaud steamboats, thiee thousand canal boats, and four thousand various crafts, of other descriptions.

The Practical Printers Assistant: containin numerous schemes of imposition; definite directions for making composition rollers, and manv useful tables. By Theodore Gazlay. Cincinnati: published by J.

shaped; in the canine, conical ; and in the mo
lar cubical. The last of the molares is called wi-dom tooth, from its appearing generally about adult age. It is, however, often the first to decav, Irom want of sufficient room in the jaw for its growth and expansion. '1 he foregoing description applies strictly to the permanent teeth, those which are to serve us during life. Before these are developed, before the jaw has attained its full size, while the being is in its infancy, and does not therefore require teeth very strong or permanent, it is supplied with a set smaller in number, and more delicate in structure; which passes away, before greater powers and a more robust constitution of body demand
strong and permanent organs of mastication. This set is called the diciduous, or milk teeth, and its number is twenty, nnd is composed of the follow ing named teeth on each
jaw first, two cential, and two lateral inci
sors second, two canine, one on each side; and third, four molares, two on each side. (For mothers.) The age at which these make their appearance, varies. Occasionally children have been bem with them, whilst in other ca-es they have not pierced the g'i. until after the age of two years. Generally the middle incisors of the hzocr jaw appear u-
The best moon story yet. The editor of the New IIuinpshireGazetlesays "While search ing the heavens about a.forlnight ago, with our antiquated spectacles, of which we have before spoken, to sej if we could not catch a glimpse of the comet, our attention was suddenly arrested by a vivid flash of light near or in the moon. This we concluded to be lightning, and strange to tell, about (j o'cloc k last evening it being just I w days. SO hours, 13 minutes, and 52 seconds from the time we
saw the flash (which time comports admirably
well with the Known rate at which ound travels,) we distinctly heard the thunder." The ship Emulous which arrived at New York from Liverpool, not long since, brought a cargo of coal from that port, that afforded specimens which were really curiosities. One of the large ina-scs weighed twenty-seven hundred pounds, and another fourteen bundled. If we should continue to import such respectable portions of the Island of Great Bi itian, enquires the Courier of N. York, how long will it be before we remove the whole United Kingdom into her former colonies? All ueelcss murmuring is weakness nnd '! ly;if a thing ran he remedied, remedy it, but murmur not; ifit cannot be remedied 'tis folly to murmur. , High minidetl r.ren disdain rex enge
