4 DREAM Oh THB DEAD.

I dreamed that found myself sud
denly in place which impressed me
with an instantaneous sense of strange
ness; it was like nothing 1 had ever
seen. then became aware that my
own state of feeling was like nothing l
had ever felt, 1t was a sensation of in
oxpressible physical relief all ailment
to which / had been familiarized was
gone-gone all weariness, heaviness, in
ertness of music, of nerve, of spirit
Time and its effects palpably-abrupt-
ly--lifted from me as a load may be
lifted from the shoulders of tired and
sinking man, l was conscious of an
elasticity and lightness Of frame, to
which that of a vigorous school-boy
bounding into the play ground can be
but inadequately compared. My first
idea was that l was made young again;
my second idea which flashed on me as
conviction, made me aware that l was
dead I said to myself; 81 am dead and
amongst the dead" With that con-
sciousness came no awe, no fear, only
the sensation of unutterable strange
ness, and a sentiment of intense curl
osity. The place in which l stood was
the far end of an immense hall or
chambor-so immense that it battles all
attempt to convey a notion of the space
Its walls we're proportionably lofty, it
was without roof; above it dull blue
sky, without cloud, without sun, moon,
or stars, Along this hall human be-
ings, dressed as we dress in life, were
hurrying in various groups or detach-
ments But so vast was the place, that
though I was aware there were millions
of such beings within the walls, they
appeared like tiny rivulets running on
through a mighty plain. / hastened
towards one Of these detachmcnts, ac-
costed a man, and said "Tell me, is it
true that | am dead?"
"You are dead, of course" said the
man, impatiently without stopping.
"And you, too2' 1 asked
can here are dead We are the Dead ."
/ caught the man by the arm, which
/ felt inquisitivoly. / wondered to find
it so material, contrary to all my pre-
conceived notions.

Neatness in Dress.

The neglect of outward appearance
indicates either a little mind, or dis
regard of the opinion of our neighbors.
One should always be neat and clean
in person and dress, because this is an
evidence Of responsibility. No lady
who has any regard for herself, or any
respect for the society in which she
moves, will be slovenly in her appear
ance, or careless in her attire. 1t is
true, there is no danger in being too
particular, but every lady is entitled to
follow her own taste as to dress, provi-
dcd she dresses suitably, that is, ac-
cording to her age and circumstances.
The young of either sex, but partic-
ularly the female, ought to regard their
external department and appearance
as to a certain extent essential to char
acter.
To dress simply, and without ostenta-
ton, is a mark of mOdesty; but, in en-
deavoring to avoid everything like dis
play, young ladies, especially, should
be careful not to fall into the opposite
eXtreme-that of prudery. There is
more sincerity if there be less nicety,
in the conduct of a really virtuous wo-
man than there is in that of a prude;
and some degree of freedom, so far from
being incompatible with the strictest
virtue, is one Of its principal privileges.
If lady is obliged to receive company
en- dishaJUe, it is a sign of good breed
ing if she appears perfectly at ease, and
makes little or no apology for her ap-
pearanCe,

I continued to stride on through the
building, always trying to escape out
Of it, Miles and miles, and leagues,
and leagues, I went on--always between
those lofty walls, under that unchange-
able sky. And Eoould never get peep
into what lay beyond; for to those walls
there we're no windows.
1 said to myself, "If I were alive 1
should have dropped with fatigue; but
I feel no fatigue-not the least tired.
Still, if I remain here, I should like to
have a quiet lodging to myself Where
can I rest2"
So again 1 stopped a man. I saw a

day in Oxford street or Cheapside. ]

is incorrect; no man ever stopped at my
bidding, but walked on as I spoke, and
never agoin did I come up to the same

"But stay Ihavo only got about me

of fortune in this placer are there wealth
and poverty? do some place people come
with more riches than others2'
"To be sure"
"And is it good thing to be a rich

Better. Poverty here is dreadful
for here none lend, and none give"

"Ycs!"

The man escaped me.

of the whole. $50 very ode" 1 said

A HARMONIOUS PARTY.-Mr. Iver-
son, Democratic Senator from Georgia,
says that on the question of Terri
torial rights of the Southern people, he
believes that a large portion, if not the
whole, of the Northern Democracy are
nsomd." He says he believes, and
the whole Southern people believe, that
under the Constitution they have a right
to omigrate to any of the Territories
with their slave property, where they
have a right to the protection of the
law, and Congress has the power to give
that protection, and it is their duty to
do it"
Mr.. Pugh gave notice that he would
have something to say on the subject
before the meeting Of the Charleston
Convention,
This is the harmonious, the united,
national Democracy which has the
same sentiments and principles from
Maine to Georgia They have reached,
in the popular sovereignty doctriuc'
" the only sound and safe solution Of The
slarery question"

Rev. j. W. johnson, a returned mis-
sionary from China, states that spiritu-
alism, with all its mysterious roppings
and other absurdities, has been a COM
mon phenomenon in that country for
more than two thousand years. Such a
system of denominations is better suited
to the soil of heathonism than to a land
and people blessed with the light and
influence Of the gospel.

DEATH FROM THE BITE OF A RAT
About seven years ago a young man
named George Crilley, who resided in
Philadelphia, while attempting to catch
rat, was bitten on the arm. The
wound caused immediate pain, but yield
ed, for the time being, to medical treat
ment. Since then, however, the wound
would infame at intervals, and a short
time since the symptoms assumed dan
gerous character. The sufferer fingered
until the 9th instant, when death came
to bis relief.

she referred to an incident that took
place at the burning Of a steamer on one
of the western Lakes
Among the few passengers whose

saving her two children by means Of a

to grasp it, she cried, Don't take it
away from my poor little children p
The man made no answer, yet the APP
peal struck home, for, by the light of
the flaming vessel she could see that his
face was convulsed by the struggle be-

his hands with a groan of renunciation,

The Chicago Press states that beef-pack-
ing firm in that city have, during the past
season, paid over to David Strawn, of Otta-
wa, SAL 5l S8 for beeyes Of his own feed
ing.
Mr.. Strawn is a native Of Perry county,
Ohio. He has been % years resident of
Illinois, and has resided for 10 years on his
present farm in La Sale county, four miles
from Ottawa He is ii years of age. He
commenced 10 years ago, as the owner OF
800 acres of land, bought at 81, Is per acre,
stocked with Il pair of horses and mode
rate outfit of farm implements. Over and
above this he had three dollars in cash, and
indefatigable and intelligent energy and will
to do.
The Press adds:
Mr. Strawn is now the owner Of seven
thousand acres of improved land, worth on
an average S25 per acre, or total of 49,,
900. He has fed to the beeves he has sold
in Chicago, this season, ten thousand bush
els of corn, and has still on hand at his
farm, twenty thousand bushels. He has
also harvested eight hundred bushels of oats
this season. The drove fed on his corn crop
he sold here. We gave at the outset the
sum paid to him by single Chicago beef
packing house, but this is only part OF the
story.
Mr. Strawn's drove his season WAS TWEEN
ty-fve hundred head, all marke ted this fall,
giving an average Of coo lbs per head net,
at an average price of SSI, or seventy-four
thousand dollars He has still on his farm
two hundred head which will be held over,
and by next season will be increased, by
purchases, &c, to from twenty-five hundred
to three thousand head, to be fed for next
falls slaughter. What an increase is this
on the modest drove of thirty head, mar
keted by Messrs Strawn & Co., in 1845,
and how have these princely transactions
and possessions grown on the three dollars
surplus over that 300 acre farm in l84l--
These latter date figures remind us of moth
ing more strikingly than what we read OF
the latter estate of the patriarch of Uz.
Now, what Mr.. Strawn has achieved
should be an Indictment to hundreds Of nm
developed grazers among our Western
farmers, many of whom will never advance
beyond their present stage for the very lack
of putting forth the eXertion. A word rs

sues the course of commencing to feed his
corn rs soon as it hardens, or in September,
first to cattle, and then follows u with

beef and thus market it, and his own sue
