that his instructors predicted that he would make

World of 3hrits.—Dr. Samuel Johnson had a

impressions, and often sought to strengthen Ivin faith
by evidence of the disappearance of di»eml»odied
spirits hovering about their friends in the fleslw—
llis inquiries into faculties of second sight, suppos
ed to have been possessed by the Hcotclidiighland-
ers, have caused some ridicule*. But how emphat
ic the old doctor would have been, could he have
been nt the meeting of Wesleyan ministers, as de
scribed in the following from the N. H. Whig and
/Kgis :
Appearance of a Departed Sfirit.—At a con
ference of Wesleyan ministers, held*in Sheffield, in
the year 1H17. the Rev. Thomas Savage, one of the
young preachers who was received in full connex
ion. gave the following account of the appearance
ofthe departed spirit of his brother-in-law. After
a very appropriate introduction, in which the Rev.
gentleman asserted that the 41 solemn fact” which
In* was about to relate, “ was the first grand means
of leading his mind to think seriously of the so
lemn tealilies of death, judgment and eternity,” lie
proceed**d as follows :—
44 A sister being married to a gentleman in the
army, received intelligence that the regiment to
which he belonged luul orders for one of the Span
ish Isles in the Mediterranean. One night ubout
ten o’clock, sixteen years since, in the town of Don
caster, in Yorkshire, Knglandvas his wife, bis child,
and older sister and myself were sitting in a back
room, the shutters were closed, barred and bolted,
ami yard door locked—suddenly a light shone thro*
the window and illuminated the room in which we
were sitting—we looked, started and beheld tho
spirit of our departed brother. His eves *. j fix
ed on his wife and child alternately—he w... d his
hand, smiled, and remained about half a mini to*—
1 hen vanished from our sight. The moment before
the spirit disappeared, my sister cried, 44 He’s tk ad !
lie’s head !'* and fainted away. Her little boy run
toward the appurition, and wept because it would
... not stay. A short time after this, we received a
the captivating i letter Irom the Colonel of tho regiment, sealed with
u black seal—the emblem of death—bearing a
doleful but expected news, that on such a night, an
swering to the same on which we saw his spirit, my
brother-in-law was found weltering in bis blood,
having been murdered by the Spaniards when re
turning from the mess-room. Tho apork of iifo
was nut quite extinct when he was found, and tho
last w Lh w hich he was heard to breathe, was that
he might see bis wile and child once aguin ; w hich
w as granted him in the Ulaad.uf Minorca—in that
same hour Ins spirit appeared lodiis wid- and child,
an elder sister and myself!.
Hefi>ru this vu*.ut, though a boy uirie years old,
I was a c tinpletc ath. Lt. having been taught hy my
f.itlier to di»lx iieve ever\ tiling except what 1 *»nw ;
but In this .tuiclitli (..it ulmtUlitA: t WuS Lult'.it.u.u »i
the reality of another w orld’s existence—and by the
solemn impression tlu;*. it made upon my mind, I
was led to pray foe mercy—which mercy l found at
the foot of tho cross, and now Cl*l*1 the Holy Spirit
preparing my soul to enter those eternal ard uivisi-
ble regions—tlu; world of spirits. My sister, from
the night that she suw the spirit of her husband, and
before she received any intelligence of his death,
went into mourning for him, nor could ivy father
prevent i' by any argument, lie endeavoured to
persuade u? we wi re all deluded and deceived, yet
he acknowledged that the testimony which the child
gave staggered him—but when the letter arrived
from the Colonel of the regiment, with the awful ti
dings of our brother’s death, hi; was struck dumb,
so to speak, and had no inure to any. My two sis-
t« rs are yet living, and can testify to the truth of this
account; besides widen, at least one liundn d per-
s* ms can prove our mentioning the hour the spirit
appeared,several weeks bt fore we received the me.
laneluly li tter, and that the letter mentionod the
night and the hour as the same in which we beheld
his spirit.”

-There are
few persons thirty years of age that resided in this
vicinity twenty years ago who will not rememberllio
late Robert 15. Wilkins. Having served through
the war of the revolution in the New Hampshire
line, there were no officers and few soldiers of that
line of whom lie did not personally know some
thing—w here each man was from, to wliut compa
ny lie it douged, in what battles ho was engaged.
While hi* li vt d, li** was the living chronicle of the
events of the revolution. A limn of undoubted
coinage, be w as free to own that he did not go into
lmttle without “ fear and trembling.” We remem
ber to have heard him remark, that although then an
orderly sergeant, he acted as ensign, and carried
the standard of his regiment nt the battle of Mon
mouth. To b** engaged ii. the ardent light side by
side w ith his comrades, he would have considered n
greater relief than to be entirely freed from the
danger of the battle. While lie felt all the while
un indescribable something which some might call
fi nr, ami others would consider being t4 umh r con
cern,” lie maintaini cl his post like a hero, his >lom
pierced w ith many holes, and himself of course ail tin*
time a mark for the bullets ofthe enemy. He caino
out of the fight on this occasion w ithout a wound or
scratch, Lieiitcnunt Wilkins, at live time of tho
visit of La Fayette in this town in June, 1625,
when htimheds of revolutionary officers and sol
diers congregated to bid him welcome as the 44 Na-
tim’s (Sliest, w as one of the only two persons of
the whole number recognized and recollected Lv
that veto run friend of America, after an absence of
many years. Ho was not only remembered, but
the illustrious foreigner was free to relate mnr.v
anecdotes which did credit to the manly bearing of
a comrade in arms, whom he familiarly addressed
ns his old friend 4 * Iiob Wilkes.”
A correspondent has furnished llic following for
the Visitor, ot which wc have no remembrance of

the New Hampshire regiments, (the 1st and puit
of the 2 l, all under command of Col. Stark,) after
having pa < d Charlestown neck under a he avy fire,
were repairing to the position assigned them, to
take purl ... the battle then about to commence

prepared with combustibles to set buildings on fire*)

in Bo»ton.
A woman came to the Captain of one of the com-
panic:*, and requested him to allow one of bis men
to jM*ist in iviit*>viiip her valuables from u house,
which was expected soon to take fire. The Cap
tain told Wilkins, then n youth of sixteen or
s« ventoeu years, that ho might go if he plcos-
id, I li-answer was, that he preferred standing
l»y his Captain in the coming light. A stout men,
however, st .nding from the ranks, volunteered
to nssjist the ludy, and wn« by the Captain permitted
to go.
