phvsical or mental SAent. or such a nature was :he dream am about to relate, if dream it was:
 I thought that after tossing for hours on my bed arose snd taking my hat, the only gar menl of which had dvested myself started forth to cool ny burning cheeks and brow in the cool night air. t-
 Note attribute the heat in my face to the presence. as the doctors would say, oftae pre- vaiIing fever of the country, the victims ot which may be known by an intense rednes- of the face, particularly in the vicinity of the tip of the nose notice that almost every body in town has it,
 A blush of daylight was just visible in ihe east as reached and tuned down street that seemed the sam, and yet not the same through which 1 had a few hours before, wound my tortuous way among staggering houses, in search of my own, Some street com mis sioner from fairy land seemed to have straightened the crooked highway into its wonted channel and to have returned the reelihg houses, now perfectly sober and steady, to their usual sites With my head cooled by the morning air, and my nerves stilled by the quiet hour 1 wandered on, as one will in dream, from street to street; every now and then stumbling against something soft ami yielding. For some tune l took no nOt.ce of these interruptions, but at length they became so frequent, and there seemed such q similarity in the objects in my way, that l was induced to stop and examine specimen. when ''alas 'roor Yorick" found, to my surprise, that it was the body of poor dog who had launched his last "bark." 'Is it possible" thought 'that all he objects I have been so uncer- moniousy kicking along my path are the de- funct bodies of mans best friend |" Alas too true. Death had been busy-very busy, in truth, he must have b@n, if he did it all alone but l don't believe he did think he got somebody to help him,
 "Oh, ye hard hearted men" thought "who find us our daily neat can ys have con science and sill charge such enormous prices for Sausage.
 ''However" I founA myself musiLg as l passed along perhaps I should not lay the charge at their door that suggested itself tome, for find that not only ut their doors but for rods from them on either side not a body 1t to be seen.' This was fact that l found myself wholly unable to account for, and I can't ac- count f'r itJet; but then you see it is only in lrea ms that such inconss ste ncies occur.
 Hurrying on, as thought to find spot where dead dogs were less and fresh air more plentiful, came in sight ofthe door of friend
 "Well thought '--is is quietly sleeping | mo night mare dream haunting his slumbers, .nd"-no, he is not sleeping, for through the partially open door can see the outline of his 1 ace and form and--heavensl 1 see the cor Ter of shawl futtering through the door Poor -" thought must be very sick nd some kind female friend is watc hing by his evered couch. musical chant, and approaching an open GOT, saw stretched on a low table or bench, the oiy ofa little Mexican child; which, by it's ,ng hair and feminine features was eyidently | nat of little girl By it's side sat a woman hanting in low and sad tones, a funeral dirge. At its head and feet were the remains of alf dozen candles, now faring brightly up nd anon dwindling away and going out, just 8 the life of the young sleeper had done in le early morning.
 Happy infant thought you have gone tanless and pure from this to better world ow far better W puld it have been for scous ally meet had yonr fate been theirs
 
 Passing on, came suddenly on man V arrying on his shoulders large box which, { 3 passed gave out strong odor of Sonora
