Visions Oflhe Seuf.

Under the above heading, the
following article appeared IN the
Pittsburgh Christian Advocate, of The
22nd. As it bears upon a matter
which occssloned considerable dis
custom through our columns last
Spring, We publish ii:
Rev. DIR. Oliver S. Munsell, Pres
ident OF Illinois Wesleyan UDiver-
SHY, was, years ago, driving in a
carriage alone across an unsettled
prairie. Ii was a sultry July day.
He fell into a light slumber. He
seemed 10 himself TO reach his
fathers house. and at the gates
way mel Il younger brother, from
whom he had parted II few days
before, u hundred miles away from
the homestead, and who said tU
him: add you get u letters, and
do you know that father is dead?'
With this vision he awoke. When
ne reached home he met that broth
er in that very gateway with those
sad words upon his lips. His vi
sion was "a prophecy. He con-
cIudes from this and other well at
tested similar instances that the
vision and the event are not mere
condolences, and that a limited
prescience is an attitude of muEd,
simply as mind.

have deferred thoughtful men alto

or not such q course, under present circum-

it is none the less fixed and determined IN

incide. The practice of the political par

have seen evidenced by notable examples
In our midst, has awakened the hitherto
sluggish friend s of good order to a deter
mination to make active and energetic eff
forts to repair the evils resulting from their
former supineness. If our politicians are
wise, they will be more cautious than they
have hitherto been in their nominations.
Only by such q course can they prevent a
third ticket, which will sweep the deck.
Should they not do so, and neglect the
warning voice which fills the air, BY max
ing some contemplated nominations and

Dress and Health.

THE Journal of Chemistry thus talks
The tight waists, the low necks to
dresses, and the high-heeled shoes, are
most fragrant abuses, and ought not to be
longer tolerated. We shall not quarrel
with the little jaunty hats of the ladies,
for they are indeed pretty, and no harm
results from them, as of all parts of the
body the head needs the least clothing
But, to pass to the other extremity, we
have to say that the detestable high heels
to boots and shoes, running as they do al
most to point, are spelling the gait and
running the ankle. joints of children and
young misses We are careful to order
our shoemakers to remove such heels from
shoes before permitting them to be
brought into our dwelling. Heels of mod
crate height and good breadth are of great
service in elevating the feet, so as to avoid
direct contact with the moist earth, and
they also give support and add firmness to
the step. Why should Fashion push good
devices to absurd EXTREMIST We must aid
In dethroning the tyrant when her DEGREES
lead to the physical or moral injury of the
race. The present fashion of leaving the
neck and the upper part OF the chest bare
Is fraught with evil consequences. II
would be less Objectionable in countries
uniformly warm but that our daughters,
here in this frigid and changeable climate,
should constantly expose to the chilling
winds vital part of the body, is one OF
the evils of fashions which should be dis
countenanced by every mother, and father,
and brother"
