When ſhe aroſe in the morning, her father ſeeing her look much concerned aſked her what was the matter with her ſhe replyed, I believe my ſiſter Molly is for this night I heard the voice of my mother lamenting her death. Says the father, I heard the ſame myſelf, and her voice ſeemed to me to be in my ſtudy. Soon after, the ſame morning, came a meſſenger with tidings of her death. The deceaſed was brought to her father's to be buried, and after the funeral, her mother relating the manner of her daughter's illneſs, and that as ſoon as her daughter was dead, ſhe being weary with watching, and tired for want of ſleep, lay down in her clothes, and dreamed that ſhe was with them telling her grief for the loſs of her daughter. This ſurprized them; and aſking the time, it appeared to be much the ſame in which they heard her voice.
