4 Dream Realised,

Some time during the past summer, a
stranger stopped at one OF the watering
places on the mountain south of Waynes-
boro, Franklin county, in this state. After
his arrival there he was taken sick, and for
several days apparently deranged On
his recovery he informed the proprietor Of
the house, that daring his illness he had
dreamed for three nights in succession
that he had discovered at certain distance
IN the mountain, under rock, an carthen
crock, containing large amount of silver
At this the worthy host expressed his sur
prise, and spoke of it as a mysterious
dream. Afterwards, however, they were
walking together in that direction, when
the dream was again adyerted to by the
stranger, and the proprietor at once pro-
posed an examination, to satisfy their Gu
riosity. The rock was soon found, and
alter carefully brushing away the leaves
II was moved and 10 their utter astOnish-
ment there sat crock full of silver. They
took II out and conveyed it secretly to the
house, and on examination it was found
to contain 500, (alI IN half dollars which
was divided equally between them. The
day after the discovery. the stranger was
about to take his leave OF the mountain,
and complained TO his friend, the pro-
prlctor of the springs, of the Inconvenience
OF carrying silver, when an exchange was
proposed and made, the stranger receiving
bankable paper for his silver. 1t was not
long after his departure, however, till the
proprietor had made another discovery
his .toln hmdrcd dollars IN 8itrer ocas
counterfeit, and he had thus been ingc-
niously swindIed out of two hundred dol
lars
These facts we have gathered from a
reliable source, and that they are correct
there is not the shadow OF a doubt

lost love.
i hastened to see her. | arrived in
time to hear from her own lips, so cold and
pale, that her heart had been faithful to me
ever-that cruel as | had been, she had
never ceased to love me. arrived in time
to know that my folly had cost me price
less jewel-the pure love of a true-hearted
woman. | arrived in time to confess NV
faults with heart-breaking sorrow, and to
be lorgiyen--in time to see her-die!
1t was that grief which knows no con-
ISOLATION, that had worn out her life. She
had rejected the best offers of marriage.
because, loving me, she could love no
other; and without loving, she could never
marry.
All, my nephew | have no words to
express the bitterness, the sharpness of
my regrets, remorse, grief, despair urged
me near TO The grave-but-I haze Eued
to remember and mourn!
And | tell you more =
And with trembling fingers, the old gen
tleman brushed a tear from his eve: while
Hiram, pale, thoughtful, agitated, regarded
him earnestly.
No., murmured the young man, in a
deep voice, as he pressed his unclc's hand.

plness in married life, except that which
crowns the domestic hearth. Fashion is

A few weeks later, the old gentleman
attended a wedding and he was happy in
the thought that his sad experience had
been the means Of uniting the youthful
Hiram and his true hearted Sophia.
