[To TIER EDITOR OF THE SPECTATOR."] Sin,—The experience of your
correspondents reminds me of a tale related by the late Dr. Littledale of "the good old Roman Catholic Bishop Milner." "A lady came to him for spiritual counsel one day, and recounted at length some remarkable visions with which she said .she had been favoured. Oh father ! ' exclaimed she, ' aren't they lovely, aren't they heavenly P Isn't it a blessed thing to be so privileged? ' Very lovely, very heavenly,' replied the old Bishop, and as you say, my dear child, it is a blessed privilege, but don't you think you had better take a little blue pill P " If A. B. W. or K. D. E. should again be troubled with visions -of boys or vanishing ladies they might do worse than follow the old Bishop's advice.—I am, Sir, &c.,
