ed wistfully around him as he advanced.
As soon as he came TO the bottom step,
he began to ascend the stairs with slow
and silent tread. In appearance, move
ment and weapon, he was the exact ceun-
,erpart Of the image seen by Mr.. Saun-
ders in MS dream.
What was the traveller 10 do, unarmed
as he was, TO escape the menacing peril +?
He felt glued to the spot upon which he
stood by the very imminence of the dam
ger which apparently confronted him.
The leap from the platform 10 the earth
would imperil both life and limb. A face
to face encounter with an armed man,
could only end in mis- being desperately
wounded or Immediately killed. Nor
was there even time 10 escape through
the room with the hole in the floor, for
the desperate had already mounted TO
the highest illuminated step, and was
only few feet distant from Mr.. Saun-
ders.
Summoning all The resolution he could
command, he cried out -

Startled by the voice, the man threw
up his face, and Mr.. Saunders at once
recognized him as the landlord OF the inn
Without saying a word, he turned, almost
ran down the steps TO the house on the
outskirts of the village, where after some
enlreaty, he procured lodging for the
night.
Early the next morning, he sent mes
senger for the horse, with money TO pay
his bill. He made no mention Of The oc
currence o: the previous night, and, as
soon as his horse was brought mounted
him and resumed his journey.
Some years afterwards, he met his for
mer host, face TO face, upon one of the
streets O: Columbus, Ga. They immedi
ately recognized each other, but in a mo-
ment the quandam landlord threw dowr
his eyes, seemed much abashed, and hur
ried quickly by without saying a word.
Was a murder really meditated in this
case and was the dream whish aroused
the intended victim yertable premonl
tion sent to rescue lim from impending
death These are questions which the
writer will not undertake to answer. He
can vouch however, for the literal truth
of the facts herein related. They were
communicated 10 him by the Rev. r. NJ
Saunders, of Alabama, son oflhe gentle
man to whom the monitory dream was
vouchsafed.

swearing an accomplishment Others

Pointed Preaching.

Father Moody was an eccentric man.
He had in his congregation Colonel In

bask his large stock Of corn from the mar

public attack upon the transgressor. One

however, still held up his head, apparent

Mourning Customs.


A French writer gives summary OF
the different observances among mankind
relative 10 mourning and funeral ceremo-
nies, which we think will interest our
readers. Al the world. says he, are ac-
quainted with the grandeur Of the Roman
obsequies and funeral games. The
Greeks also burnt their corpses Of distin-
guished men, with funeral feasts, and the
lamentations OF hired weepeIs, though
they generally displayed less sumptu.
Gus grief, and better rugula,ed piely. The
Persians buried the bodies OF the dead
the Scythans ate them; the Indians en-
yeIoped them, for preservaisn's sake, in
sort Of locker the Egyptians embalm-
ed and dried them, exhibited them on
feslal days, placed them "a. the table a.
mong their guests, guarded them as their
most precious possessions, and loaued and
borrowed money on these strange pledges.
In our time the custom OF dancing al ;u-
neraIs is only prsclised in India and a
mong some savage nauons; but funeral
entertainments still prevail in many Euro
pean countries. Amongst others the GER
emony of interment is solemn and silent,
which nevertheless does no, interfere with
the wish that all may be forgotten a.
speedily as possible We observe moro
ostentsiious rites for persons of conse-
guence. Their carriages follow them 10
the graves, and sometimes their horses
are paraded, which having been made TO
fast seem to partske of The sfIllclion OF
the occasion. The Orienials, from whom
we borrow these customs, went further
;hey made the horses in funeral process
sions weep, by blowing particular kind
of powder up their nosrlls.
In Italy the mourning was formerly
white for women, and brown for men. fH
China it is white; in Turkey. Syria and
Armenia ii is blue; in Egypt, yellow; In
Ethiopia. grey. Each Of lhess eelsrs
had, originslIy, its mystical Specification.
White is the emblem Of purity; celestial
blue indicates the space where the soul
ranges after death; yellow. or the tinge
of dead leaves, exhibits death as the end
Of all human hopes. and man falling like
the leaf Of autumn; grey represents the
color of the earth. our common nelhef;
and black the funeral costume now adopt
ed throughout Europe and America, is an
alluson to the eternal night.
In England, the sovereign never wears
black; he is clothed in dark purple 10
mourning. Till The reign Of Charles
VlII,whiie was the funeral garb in France.
The Emperor Leopold, who died in l705,
used 10 suffer his beard 10 grow in disor-
der during the whole period Of mourning.
In this he initiated The Jews. The dow
ager.empresses never lett off weeds and
their apartments were hung with black
till their death
The Chancellor of France is the only
person who never wears mourning.
But the most remarkable of all these
usages, is, perhaps, that of the people Of
those ancient nations, who dressed them
selves Os women when they lost their rel
atives, in order. il is said, that the ridi-
cule attached to their vestments might
make them ashamed Of their grief.

THE POTOMAC.


On the beautiful Potomac
In the centuries long ago,
Floated the Indian warriors bark,
And the maiden's light canoe
And The wood. crowned hills stood bathing
Their dark shadows in lhe streams,
As they watched at eve, like senlinels,
The suns departing beams.
The old and stately forests,
Raised their hoary branches high,
Like hands upraised in worship
To the silent, beauteous sky;
While within their lonely solitude,
Gathered dark and stalwart men,
The ancient rulers OF the soil,
Of river, rock and glen.
They sang their songs of war and love,
In wild notes loud and free,
Till the forests deep & the mountains high
Joined in their minstrelsy;
The wild deer started from his lair,
As if some hunter nigh
And the panther answered echo back
With his long and p!ainlive cry.
But the forests proud are falling
And the warrior tribes are gone,
They chant no more iheir battle songs
Nor hunt the ;imid fawn
But where the councils watchfres burned
Is reared the stately dome,
And the mansions OF the conquerors stanc
Where sIoOd the chieltain's home.
Beneath US lies the scattered dust
Of the mighty nations dead.
But their spirit bands, at midnight
Throng our streets with nolselesS trea(
They gather on their ancien; hiIss,
Float DER their own loved streams,
Like the viewless tones of music
Or the images Of dreams.
And the beautiful Potomac
Sill flows in sweetness on,
As il bears its Northern treasures
TO The children Of the Sun :
It's waters sound requiem
In Eolian harp notes low.
Ger the forest rulers o. the land
In the centuries long ago.
