DREAMS" Lively Dreams" says q medical
writer, "are In general a sign Of the excitement
Of the nervous action. Soft dreams are sign
Of slight irritation Of the brain, often nervous
fever announcing the approach Of a favorable
crisis. Frightful dreams are sign Of determi-
nation Of blood TO the head. Dreams about
blood and red objects are signs Of inflammatory
conditions. Dreams about rain and water are
often signs Of diseased mucous membranes and
dropsy. Dreams in which the patient sees any
part of the body, especially suffering, indicate
diseases Of that part" We like these interpre-
tations much better than those of spiritual
kind so uniformly suggested by the ignorant
and presumptuous. That, ON awaking from a
dream, the mind should for time retain the
impression made by it. as il would had the inn
preston been made in our waking hours, Is
very natural and should create no surprise.
Yet, were all who at this day think Of dreams
as prognostics induced to make open confession
of their credulity, the world would be amazed at
the revelation.

DIR. JuDsoN.-We see it stated that this great
man received between four and five thousand
dollars as present for his services as interpre-
ter during the English and Burman war, the
whole Of which he placed at the disposal Of the
Baptist Board for missionary purposes; and
that he also received nearly fourteen hundred
dollars for the memoir Of his second wife, which,
with self-sacrifcing devotion, he also laid upon
the altar, and died poor man. His widow
lives, and we trust win be spared to place be-
fore the world such memorial as will be wor-
thy of him, and of her own exalted talents. 1t
was rare devotion that prompted her, in the
day of her youth and in the tide Of successful
and popular authorship, to wed one for whom
she must have entertained love not unmingled
with the awe Of reverence, and to exchange a
happy and peaceful home for the trials and pri-
yations Of missionary life

SERIOUS WANTs.-In taking up New York
paper, to-day, we find " Protestant Servant"
is wanted, and that g Protestant Servant"
wants place. We recognise, to the full extent,
the right of all persons to elect their associates
of every degree, and to prefer, if they choose,
those who agree with them in the important
essentials of Christian belief. Indeed, when it
is remembered that the training of the children
Of any home is influenced, to no limited extent,
by the servants, who are also its inmates, the
character aed principles of these become sub
jects of no light moment And yet there is
upon the face of the advertisements, Of which
we speak, the evidence of something that
ought not to exist--a DESIRE it would seem, to
be ostentatiously exclusive and unfeelingly pro-
scriptive. That this spirit exists alone with
Protestants or Roman Catholics, or Jews or
Turks, we by no means assume; but that it
ought to be subdued wherever discovered, we
feel very thoroughly convinced The public
journals Of our country, no doubt, afford o fair
index to the popular mind; and these little
blemishcs seem to point to a time long since
passed away. They are, in our opinion equal
ly reprehensible in point of principle and OF
taste.

SCIENCE. WEALTH. AND MORALS.

We can speak from observation and expert
ence Of the plans and measures proposed in the
article on the fourth page, for the advancement
of these subjects. We have seen both their
Importance and feasibility fully demonstrated.
We have witnessed in schools degree of enthu-
siasm and energy excited among the pupils, by
Practical Science as therein proposed, which
rendered their improvement in every subject
both rapid and thorough changing truants into
the most punctual and best Of scholars. Speci-
mems of Geology and mechanism, thus collected
and prepared by pupils, after affording them
the most thorough instruction, with much de-
lightful amusement, are objects of attraction to
visiters, or instruments of instruction to the
pupils of other schools where they are sent,
thus rendering schools in different States and
countries the instructors of each other-an
operation entirely in accordance with the spirit
of the age.
To farmers and mechanics, this subject must
be of the deepest interest. As they constitute
seyen-eighths of our citizens, and as desire
for the scientific principles of their business is
already general, and daily increasing, the Amer
lean press cannot probably do better service to
the public, than by placing before their readers
the invitation presented by list of names suffi-
GENTLY large and of the highest responsibility.
Superintendent, trustees, and teachers of
schools, can probably in no way better improve
the institutions under their direction, than by
introducing at once practical science as branch
of primary instruction.
That the whole subject win be thus brought
prominently before the public, and that schools
will be thus improved, are strongly indicated
by the facts that the series of essays on "AGRI-
CULTURAL GEOLOGY" prepared by Mr.. Hol-
brook, have already been spread by the Ameri-
can press through the entire length and breadth
of our land, and by the agency of Foreign Min
listers, residing in Washington, they are to be
translated into the languages of their respective
countries, and thus circulated through all lands
making practical science, in its application to
productive industry, sort of common rallying-
point for the nations of the earth-producing
not merely "WoRLD's FAIR, but Fairs, -real
"INDUsTRIAL EXHIBITIONS" all over the world.

EFFECTS OF SwEETMEATs.-A paragraph in
the newspapers tells us that San inquiry into
the cause of the recent death of a young lady in
England established the fact that she had been
matter of burnt almonds; and that medical
authority was also adduced to show that, within
the last three years, upwards of seventy deaths
had been produced in England by the use of
poisonous igments in fancy sweetmeats. We
do not hear of such fatal results from this
cause in our country, and trust that our con-
fectioners do not practise the arts made use of
abroad. But the effects Of confectioneries upon
the pockets Of fathers and husbands are, even
here, found to be Of very deleterious character

BURNs.-Al Although students Of medicine and
surgery do not usually resort to the newspapers
for instruction, we feel constrained to transfer
to our columns the result of certain experiments
made by DIR. Reese, physician Of Bellevue Hos
pital, New York, concerning the best mode Of
healing burns and scalds, and checking the
acute suffering. II isstated that he has found
that -four, thrown on with a common dredging
box, is one Of the best and most efficient RENE
dies yet discovered The external air is one
cause of suffering, and -four thus applied both
heals and closes the wounds to the atmosphere.
The edges of the wounds which remained open
he dressed with lime and oil, applied with a
feather. DR.. Reese says the above application
made to wounds by fire, hot water, gun-powder,
&c., has been most happy in the practice Of the
hospitals" Whoever would profit by this in
formation should be particular TO inform him
self in relation to the kinds Of lime and oil TO
be used. We remember, that, twenty-five or
thirty years ago, slackened lime and iinsced oil
were mixed and applied to burns by the most
famous doctors among the old women. The
same ingredients are probably now remembered.
