VERIFICATIoN OF DREAM.--Just two
weeks ago last Saturday night, \ young Ia
dy residing in Hanover street in this city,
retired 10 bed at her usual hour, and in her
usual cheerful, happy frame Of miud. At
ter having fallen asleep, she had frighiful
dream or vision. She dreamed that her
brother, who was in the western part Of
New York, was killed, aud his body horrld-
ly mnpgled in death. This dream seemed
30 vivid and real, and impressed her mind
so forcibly, that she woke, and even rose
from her bed, and walked her room, weep
ing in great anguish.
Another lady, who was asleep in an ad-
joining chamoer; was awakened by her
wailings, and, on going into tho room to as.
certain the cause, found her sitting in
chair weeping. The lady endeavored to
soothe her fears, md finally persuaded her
10 retire once more to bed, and try 10 forget
the dream. The next Monday morning
tho young lady received telegraphic des-
patch, announcing that her brother, Mr..
Wise, brakeman on the Western Railroad
had fallen from the cars on one Of the
freight trains near East Chatham, N. y,
and been run over, and instantly killed
The Incident happened about two O'Clock
on Sunday morning, precisely about the
time Of the dream.--Boston Tran.

ADVENTURE IN A MILL.

A gentleman Of New York related the
following to the editor Of the Waterloo
Journal. The subject Of conversation was
the narrow escapes from death that are Of.
ten experienced by mankind in the ups
and downs Of life:
When my father, said he, emigrated to
Jefferson county, in the days Of its first set
Element, he located, with his family, in one
Of the southern towns. Among other i'm
provements on his premises, there had been
erected one Of the first essentials to new
settlements saw-mill. 1t was one Of
those old-fashioned concerns, common in
those days, rugged with the huge undershct
water wheel, long heavy pitmsn aud cum
brous saw.frame. Those unwieldy wheels
are now quite forgotten in the improve
ments that have been made in these agents,
but ! never shall forget the one attached
to my fathers mill.
was engaged in getting out lumber,
when an accident happened to the water
works, and went alone the next day to
repair the damage, Carelessly kneeiing
upon one Of the fiat boards of the wheel,
without observing the position Of the crank,
| proceeded TO survey the nature Of the de-
rangement. While thus occupied, | did not
observe the slight motion towards revo-
luton which had commenced by the wheel,
caused by my weight, and my attention
was first called to the nature Of my si.ua.
ton by slow heavy pressure above my
knee. At glance comprehended ths
peril that was in, and made an effort tc
extricate myself, but it was too late; was
fast wedged between the floats Of the whee
and the sill OF the flume.
With considerable alarm now observed
that the crank fthc wheel was turned up
and that my weight had slightly turned il
from the perpendicular. A moments re-
Aec,ion increased my alarm, as fully com
pretended that the heavy pitman, and the
saw frame above that, were pressing will
their combined weight upon the crank.
To compIets The horror Of my situation
| perceived that the crank was moving al
most imperceptibly, and | knew without
instant relief should inevitably be crush
ed to death between tho wheel and tht
Aume. Igszed around and called loudly
for help; but no human answer was given
back to my cries. My eyes fell again up
on tho crank lit was atilImoving, and draw
ing me into that awful death. Inow look
ed round for some object to interpose be
tween the wheel and the fume, and saw
an axe that ] had brought with me lying
at one end Of the wheel; but the JOY tha
was lit up within me by the sight Of thi'
object was dispelled in moment on find
ing that with my utmost exertions coult
not reach il. In my desperation | ther
tried to wrench something from the wheel
but every thing resisted InyIutmost strength
My last hope was that somebody NIGH
pass upon the road which ran along the op
posi,e bank Of the stream; this hope dice
within me when reflected how seldom il
was that travellers came that way.
The crank had now reached an inclinn
tion Of about thirty degrees, and knew
that its motion would soon become fearful
lily accelerated. My limbs had gradually

YOUNG MEN,

What are you doing for the improvement
Of your minds? Are you aware that you
are on the great railway Of time, rushing
and whirling past the station Of youth?
The world is all before you-it is yours
God gives you lease Of il! You see the
philosophers, the statesmen, and the teach
ers Of the present time---n their places 20
be filled? What mean those telegraph
posts and wires? those cars and boats?--
those fast printing presses? They are
monuments Of genius--ths genius Of men
now passing away. Up-bestir yourselves,
with firm purpose and stern resolve to
penetrate still farther into the arena Of ma
ture, and open TO human gaze mysteries
unrevealed from the foundation Of the
world. Prove The nobility OF your natures,
by deeper diyings into scientific research,
by higher flight Of genius, and by wider
range of thought. Shall the mind OF the
succeeding age bo charged with effemina-
cy or inbeciity? These questions we
cannot answer. Young mcn--their an
swer depends upon you. We see what has
beeu done in fifty years; we are staggered
by the sight, and exclaim-how Sigh,
prospect Of such vision in the future!-
Who are TO be the men Of cminence in the
age before Us? Not you who are lounging
there on the sidewalks, or ia tho streets
not you who are spending your time with
boisterous companions, repeating unlnean-
ing gibes and senseless jokes-not you who
are wasting the midnight oil over Eugene
Sue and Paul de Kock-not you who fire.
quent the bowling saloons aad bar-rooms.
No--you must pass through different dis
cipline; you must bend down the undivided
energies Of your ardent souls to perseye-
ring, unremitting and laborious study. You
must acquire an intimate and thorough ac-
quaintsnce with the world, discover tho
hidden intricacies Of human character, and
acquaint yourselves with the operation Of
natural laws. You must bring truth from
chaos to the golden sunlight Of order and
system. This has been the work Of the
mighty minds Of the last century.
Say you that you have no time for this?
that your hours are those Of toil2 that the
workshop, the counter, and the mill demand
you time? So they do-but that toll will
induraie mind as well as body. Il is the
union ofmanual and ental toll that makes
the iron men who grasp the mighty things
Of the universe. You indulge, then an idlo
whim. The mind can be revolving weigh
~ things, while the hands are in motion.
In your leisure, even If it be in the silen,
hours Of night, feed the immortal mind
with food worthy Of il, and the hours Of toll
viii be cheered BY the light Of the intellect.
The mighty mind Of franklin gave birth
10 sublime imaginings, even while at the
compositor's case, and the pressman's lever.
Learn to think--think deeply that you
may act wisely.
