and "collee without adultcration." He al

SINGULAR DREAM AND WONDERFUL CURE.

SINGULAR DREAM y WONDERFUL CURE.
The editor Of the St. Louis Pennant saws,
that the following Is true, and gives US his
hand upon it. We dare say it may be, and
if so, it only proves that a man pursucs the
same current of thought, asleep as awake =
A short time since, a respectable and fash
ionable young physician, in one Of the cities
west oft,c Mississippi, was called to attend
a young lady, who had suddenly been taken
i'll. lie fastened to attend, but, after exhaust
ing his skill with all his ingenuity and persevc-
rance, he found that the case was entirely be-
yond the reach of his knowledge, and an
eminent member of the profession was called
in to consult with him. After every effort
had been resorted to which, the combined
wisdom of the two physicians could suggest,
the case was given up as hopeless, 1t was
formally announced to the afflicted family
that the sutlerings of the patient would end
in death before morning /; and the night
storVy, the two physicians were prevailed
upon 10 take lodgings in the house. Weary
and disheartencd, they soon fell asleep; but
in a few minutes our young practitioner
awoke from a strange dream. He had no
sooner closed his eyes in slumber than he
dreamed he had given the patient a dose of
a certain medicine, the namc of which he
had forgotten, which had Immediately arrest
ed the vomiting, and the patient had fallen
into a sweet alecp, attended with favorable
symptoms of convalesccnce.
He reused his companion and told him
his dream. The other however, treated it
with lightness, and turning over, immcdi-
ately commenced snoring.-Again the same
him. This time he awoke his companion
and demanded that the medicine thus
strangely pointed out should be tried. His
request met with nothing but a snccr, and a
suggestion that he had better get up and try
1t himself. Again both slept, and again the
same dream came upon the young man, and
he awoke with IA feeling almost of awe creep
ing over him.
Rising quietly, and dressing without dis
turbing his companion, he entered the sick
chamber, and bchcld the poor girl, her eye
balls starting from her head, her face of q
purple hue, still vomiting violently. 1t wa,
evident she conld not live an hour.-Seizing
a brief pause in the frequent commissions. he
administered the exact dose of the medicine
prescribed in his three wonderful dreams, anC
sat down to see the result.
In less than twelve minutes, a change wa,
perceptlble in the patient. The eomitine
returned no more and in a few minutes The
exhausted patient sank into a gentle ant
heal,hfol sleep. She is now, although still
feeble, entirely recovered from her dreadful
malady, and will. we hope, live many years
to be a blessing and a comfort to her famil.
and friends.
Q~This is a fact, and can be fully sub
stantiated.

hapless mortals were hurried into eternity
through the CONSUMED agency of fire and
water. What wonder that the woman was
alarmed at the prospect Of a steamboat
voyage!
After we left the landing, the principal
topic of conversation among the passengers
wss the numerous accidents which had lately
happened. Nearly every person was equip
ped with "a life preserver, and some we're Sc
cautious as to hang them up in their bcrths'
filed with air, and ready for use at a mo-
ment's warning. Night came, and all were
snugly %ensconced in their bcrths, when there
arose the cry of fire! The wood on the
bow of the boat had caught and was blazing
%fcrccly up, shining through the glass doors Of
the social hall and the cabin windows until
the whole boat seemed enveloped in a sheet
of flame.
In an instant all was confusion and alarm
Passengers tumbled out of their berths, and
over one ansthcr some grasped their pre-
servers-some ran for their baggage-some
for their wives-the wise ones kept quiet
In the midst of the hubbub. the doors OF the
ladies' cabin flew vide open, and out burst
our fat lady, dressed all in white, her face
" map whercon terror was drawn in all its
shapes" aud around her waist was a huge
life preservcr, not inflated. Selling this by
the mouth piece with both hands, she rushed
from one to another cxclaiming, in a voice
Of agony, "blow me up blow me up ! for
Gods sake blow me up /! ! will nobody blow
me up !" Had the old lady actually explo-
ded, | must have done as l did, roll on the
floor in fit ofinextinguishablc laughter, with
half the Witnesses of the scene for my com
panions. The boat was stopped, the fire
got under, and, not the least difficult opera
ton, the fat lady's alarm subducd. The
next day we landed her at her place of des-
t~ination, since which time | have never seen
her, but the Recollection of the scene has
cost many a fit Of the side ache.
