tells this story of dream.
a strange story has been currentt
oere during the past week, and has
gwen rise to much curious speculation
ana superstitious feeling. The cir.
cumstances are so far removed from
urinary coincidence, and yet bear SO
nucn evidence of being something
more than fantasy that we give the
"DETAILS as gathered from a reliable
source The subject of the story is
or was, young married woman.
whose maiden name was Jessie Elton
ene daughter of Charles Elton. who
mas been cattlemau for many years to
Mr.. drekie, of Rosemount, about two
miles from Blairgowrie. Jessie lived
with her father before she was mar.
RED, and was employed occasionally at
farm work along with other Young
women belonging to that neighbor-
mood While so engaged, about two
years ago, she told some Of her com.
panlons OF remarkable dream that
she had had, more than once in suc
cession, which caused her mucb anx;e
tv and uneasiness at the time. She
thought she stood in the centre of a
circle, which was like hayrick stand
or something of that kind, and saw in
mineral letters two KS and V. and
other symbols, which, taken together,
lett an indelible impression on her
mind that she would die on the 25th
OF September, 1857, just two years
after the vision. Being out of her or
binary course of dreaming, the recital
caused an unusual sensation at the
time, but the gossips made light of the
matter, comforting her with the assur-
ance that according to the "book of
fate" the contrary will result in her
marriage.
About year after her dream, Jes-
sic was married to young tradesman
named Bowman, belonging to Coupar
Angus, and shortly after she removed
there to live with her husband 1t
appears that her health gave way
soon after this, and she was believed TO
have fallen into consumption, and the
next time we heard from her she had
come to ROsemount to try and recruit
| herself at little harvest work, Just a
fortnight since. She grew worse, took
to bed, and fingered till at eight
o'clock on the evening of Wednesday,
the 25th of September, she died, aged
twenty-six years. Such is the story
vouched for and verified by the people
of the place; and what is worthy of
notice, the neighbors, remembering
the dream, were wondering some days
before her death whether it would
really happen on the fatal 25th accor-
ding to the mysterious warning which
she had been given two years before.
MoDEsTY.-A gentleman met beau
tiful little dark eyed girl on her way
to school. Her happy face attracted
him so much that he wished to chat
with her.
"Good morning sissy" he said,
"where are you going?'
''To school, sir"
"Ah?" and do you love to go to
SCHOOL,"
90, yes sir" was the eager reply.
"And do you love your book?'
Eyes sir"
"That's right; now, are you good
scholar?"
| She colored modestly. go, that
isn't the word for me to say"
Was not that a beautiful illustra-
ton of the text, "Let another man
praise thee, and not thine own lips"
She was good scholar and good
daughter; but her pretty blush ano
naive answer was better proof OF II
than any amount of boasung words
