A Dream Remarkably Fulfilled.

Rev l.. w. Lewis is now publish
ing, in the Texas Christian Advocate
his "reminiscences of the War, and
gives this remarkable instance of the
fullillment OF a dream: ..... .
A man by the name of Joe Will
liams had told a dream to many of
his fellow soldiers, some of whom
related it to me, months previous to
the occurrence, which now relate:
He dreamed that we crossed river,
marched over a mountain and camp
ed near a church, located in q wood,
near which q terrible battle ensued,
and in charge just as we crossed
the ravine he was shot in the breast.
On the ever-memorable 7th of De-
cember, 1862, as we moved at dou-
BILE quick to take our place in the line
Of battle, then already hotly engag-
ed, We passed Prairie Grove Church,
a small frame building belonging to
the Cumberland Presbyterians. i
was riding on the flank OF the CON-
mand. and opposite to Williams, as
we came in view of the house
THAT is the church, Colonel saw
it in my dream,n said he. ! made
no reply, and never thought Of the
matter again until in the evening,
when we had broken the enemy's
line. and were in full pursuit, when
we came upon a dry ravine in the
wood. and Williams said: "Just on
the other side of the hollow was
shot in my dream, and / will stick
my hat under my shirt Suiting the
action to the word, as he ran along,
he doubled it up, and crammed it in
to his bosom. Scarcely had he adj
justed it before a mimic ball knock
ed him out of line. Jumping up
quickly, he pulled out his hat, waved
it over his head, and shouted, "I'm
all rightT The ball had gone thro'
four thicknesses of his hat, and rails
ell black spot, about the size of
mans hand, just over his heart, and
dropped in his shoe.

How Women Fail as Workers

That clever and kindly Old Bach
elor who discusses social questions
with such genial wisdom IN the pages
of Uarper's Bo=dr, tells the follow.
ing story to illustrate the reason why
women do not usually prosper as
well as men in some of the profess
ions for which they would seem to
be quite as well adapted:
IL seemed to me that women might
Especially succeed as wood en-
grayers, so | went to one Of the most
experienced and successful engravers
in the city and consulted with him.
"Don't you see the d;lliculty?" he
asked, with great kindness and in
tcrest.
"No.' said | you must instruct
me-
"Well," answered he, 81 have en-
plOyed women here very often, and |
wish | could feel more encouraged,
but the truth is, that when n young
man comes to me and begins his
work, he feels that it his life bust
ness, how to cut his future out OF the
little BLOCKS before him. Wife, fam
lily, home, happiness. are all to be
carved Ivy his hand, and he settles
steadily and earnestly to his labor,
determined to master it and with
every Indictment squirting him On.-
He cannot marry until lie knows his
trade. 1t is exactly the other way
with the girl. She may be as poor
as the youth, and as wholly depend
cnt upon her labor for her living. But
she feels that she will probably be
married by and by, and then she
must give up wood engraving. So
she goes on listlessly; she has no
ambition to excel; she does not feel
that her happiness depends upon it
She will marry, and then her hus-
bands wages will support her. She
may not say So" said the engraver,
"but she thinks so, and it spoils her
work"
The same is true with regard to
many employments in which women
have been engaged. We know that
as clerks at Washington they are far
less useful than men. Their habits
of work are much less accurate, and
they do not give their minds to their
duties with the same conscientious.
ness and fidelity. The reason is the
same as that given by our old bach
elor. They do not feel that these
duties are the business of their lives,
and that their whole success or fail
ure depends upon the manner In
which they are performed. Whatev-
er they do, love, matrimOny, and the
care of house of their own, are al
ways at the bottom of their thoughts.

Value of MOdeSty.

1t is very good quality, which gen
erally accompanies trne merit; IL en-
cages and captiyates the minds of peo-
ple as, on the other hand, nothing is
more shocking and disSustiul than
presumption and impudenee. We
cannot ike a man who is always com
Imendirg himself, and who is the hero
of his own story; on the contrary, q
man who endeayors To conceal his
own merit, who sets that OF other peo-
pie in its true light, who speaks but lit
tie for himself, and with mo'lesty, the
understanding of his hearers, acquire
their love and esteem.

The Religion of Manners.

There is nothing more unpleasant
to refined ceiling than lOoseness
of manners, or rather an indifference
to personal behavior, among the
members of family in their domes-
tic retirement. 1t shows that their
behavior in the presence of guests is
a mere Sunday suit put on for the
occasion. Good manners, politeness,
respectful attention to others, if they
be at all ingram, are not respecter
of persons and occasion. They
should be ever-pervading; and al
though they may be in their fullness
observed between parents and chill
dren, they should be relaxed in none
of their essential applications. What
is more charming than to behold a
gallant and affectionate consideration
between man and wife; or that ever
lpresent courtesy, and loving kind
ness between brothers and sisters
The respect due to parents on the
part of children, without regard to
the number of years that have passed
over the heads of the latter, should
never be forgotten; but it should be
held in remembrance not so much as
an exacting duty as an ever conscious
happiness.
While l love to see and often join
in the ligh.-hearted pleasures and
frivolties of the family circle, and
think that children should never be
checked in their innocent enjoyments,
I nevertheless abhor the behaviour
of boys and girls, and especially OF
parents, who forget practical good
manners at home. How many wives
and husbands are careless in their
dress, captious or rough in their con
versatiOn, unbecoming in their pos
lures, and the children following the
example set before them with so much
authority, grow up without the true
instincts of what is thoroughly be-
coming in society. II persons can
put on and put Off their manners as
they can dress or coat, they are
often liable to be discovered in dis
haJiHe. Saying, "You must put on
your best BEHAVIOR on such and
such an occasion, is an insult to a
gentleman or lady, and implies thai
the utterer himself or herself is lack
ing of qualities in which others arc
attempted to be taught. Good man
ners should be as inseperable IN wei
bred persons as their epidermis frou
their bodies, and such being the fact
they can never be betrayed into con
duct unbecoming proper regard fol
the feelings and opinions of all will
whom they may be thrown in con
tact.

A Religious Fanatic.

Among those who are mixed NJ

you have doubtless noticed the nam,

One terribly hot Sabbath afternoon

Herrick, of an Ohio regiment (now
Cassius NJ. Clay's son-in-l law, and 6
lawyer in Cleveland.) We started
out for the green fields, hoping to
find some blackberries. The enemy
having been seen up the valley toward
Charleston, we then had three lines
of pickets. As we neared the inner
o. first line we discovered q sentinel
iutently reading his Bible. On CON-
ing up. he stopped us, and asked,
"Where are you going?" Ut was
not customary to prevent our soldiers
from passing to and fro across the
inner line OF pickets. "Out into the
fields" was Captain Herrick's answer.
"Don't you know better than that, ,,

much about the Bible as you do,'
was Captain Herrick's response, and
we moved on. Corbett instantly
threw down his Bible, grasped his
musket, and, pointing at the breast

back on this invitation, and it was
well that we did, for after events
proved that Boston would have made
his word good, and let daylight
through one or both of us. A few
days later, Colonel, row General,
Dan Butterlield, who commanded
the 10Th New York militia, to which
Corbett belonged. swore at the men
on dress parade. Boston immediately
stepped out OF the ranks and rebuked
his Colonel for profanity, at the same
time quoting Scripture. He was
promptly sent to the guard house and
kept on bread-and- water tiet for
some days. This slim bill of fare
did not, however, restrain his bellig-
erent qualities. An opportunity pre-
sented itself soon after his release.
My own regiment, together with the
18th, was ordered down the Win
chester railroad on guard duty
