At the close of the year there remained upon the pending files original and increase claims of this class. It is by the fourth Day. Of Decem Ber there will b6 filed in this office applications for increase of pension based upon the biennial examinations of 4th sep tember last. J of the soldiers who served sixty Days in the War of 1812, by per cent have been pensioned under the act of februa3-y 14, 1s71. Including the widows of such soldiers pensioned the proportion is per cent.

I have often wondered concerning the mysteries of sleep. If you have watched any one slumbering you must have Felt that there is something absent which is absent when the Sleeper is awake. Thought in a moment can Fly to the other end of the Earth. A woman born and bred in austra Lia being in London can constantly conjure up the Homestead. Why then shall hot the soul be Able when the body sleeps to knows whither sometimes whence Wake for some moments we appear to be struggling with some Thimig and suddenly we Are still where Are the souls of the mad the soul being a. Perfect existence if it. the mad then its perfection would overcome the madness. A Man who. Has never known any Iohp Unity of thought becomes mad and his fancies Are in the last degree terrible. Can the soul which guided him when sane be still with him when he has become some thing worse than a who knows who knows Mohommed wishing to Illus trate the wonders of sleep told How a. Certain Man being a Sheik found himself. For his a Pook Fisherman that he lived for one As sixty years bringing up a family and working hard Aind waking up from this Long dream so Short a time had he. Been asleep that the narrow necked Gourd bottle filled with water which he knew he overturned As. Fell had not had time in which to empty itself. How is it thac sometimes when strange place we fancy that we have see nit before is it possible one has been asleep the soul has floated the place and it which so surprises us in a word How far dual is the life of a far not v a teens a just what Yon see their in front of k1 i less office and Call on e.
