mind aud dream dreams so HORRIBLE
that | awake with cold sweats onto
me, and shivrin ez though bed the

reared to me with hoofs, horns and al
tail. He perched himself on my
stummick, squatting like hidjusI
toad and putin on his spsctacles, del
liberately read me, from an old copy
of the Tribune, six yards Nv his owD
editorials on the slavery question
Last mite | bed another fritetui
vision. We hev a family in our vii

the most huge and comprehensive

his arms wuz like beams, and biz /
hands spread out like the map Of our

country. He seemed to be in thts
last stages NV fearful sic kness. H,E
he'd bin, in his days. giant ofimmenstE
strength,a ana wuZ, even in his illness K

that be wuz goin fast. He draweoE
his breath painfully, and from ugly
wounds on his body blood oozec
slowly but deplentinly.
