a strange Dream and a WeddfnE

II. AT6LE4luIt IDEGlAMLl 1AlLlAaA "
p one OF the. ahappiest men that ever,
iourneyed q hundred miles from Michi-
gan took the Toledo express on Satur-
day atcFremont, bound for Toledo and
his home in Michigan. he told q
strange story, of which the following
Is the substance:
Some weeks since, while at home In
Michigan, he retired to rest after a
hard days work, and falling asleep
have taken a long Journey from
''home," where he had been located for
ten years, and had scarcely lost sight
offand where he had lived ga happy
old baeh,n and never thought of matri-
mony. q
In that dream vision appeared unto
him. He arrived at place in Ohio,
which was called Fremont. 1t appear
ed that soon after his arrival in that
place, he formed the acquaintance OF a
young lady, and that, after short but
happy courtship, he married her and
returned to his home in Michigan,
where he became wealthy, lived happi-
children, and in time trotted his grand
children upon his knee. he then
Rwoke; 1t was broad daylight, and his
mother was at his door calling him
down to breakfast. II
At the breakfast table he related his
dream to the old lady, and she was
deeply impressed with 1t. BE told her
1t was his intention TO at once seek out
the beautiful creature of whom he had
dreamed, and the old lady, believing
there was a special providence in IL,
and being also a firm believer In
dreams, advised him by all means to
go and find her II he could, and If he
couldn't find her to bring back an Ohio
girl any way, "for you Know" said
she. 'the Ohio girls are right smart"
So John packed up his little wardrobe
and took the first train out for Ohio,
and lost no time In reaching Fremont.
= When he arrived at that place he was
surprised to discover that the sign at
the depot, containing the name OF the
place-was an exact duplicate of the
one he had seen in his dream, and that
the depot buildings and the general APP
pearance of the city correspondent eX-
actly with his vision. He put up at
the Kepler House and began his search.
For TWO or three days he was unsuc-
on the point OF returning home he came
face to face with a maiden at the post
office. ""Tis she," said he, all to him
self, and then he walked up manfully
and told her his story; his dream, and
Of his place in Michigan, and frankly
asked her to share his lot with him.
She said something about its being
sudden: she would rather wait q few
days before giving an answer; but he
was determined to have it there and
then, and. she finally said she was all
his own, He accompanied her to her
home, and that evening he told her
fond parents all about t.. And they
pronounced 1t good. The day follow
ing they were hurried, and at once
commenced their journey Michigan
ward.
The man was a fine looking fellow,
and so happy that he could scarcely
contain himself he protested loundly
that 1t was the woman he saw in his
dream that he had met and married,
and that all, from first to last, had been
exactly as he pictured in his dream.
The lady was a pleasing appearing,
comely looking lady, few years
younger than the man, and seemed to
be brIm tull of fun and to enjoy-the
novelty of the thing fully as much as
her husband. Take them all in all,
they were well matched and were
doubtless made for each other. He
said only one thing was lacking to
make his happiness complete, and that
was the fultillment of the latter part OF
his dream.- Cleveland Leader.
