Mr.. Phillips willingly acceded, and having
strolied through the park they at length reach
ed the house of the latter, where they went IN
Several letters had arrived by that mornings
post, and were lying on the table, when were a
soon opened and read. The last which mr.
Phillips took up was addressed to hlm oy an oio
friend. It commenced:
"DEAR PHILLIPS You will laugh at me tor
my palms, but l cannot help. feeling uneasy
about you; do pray write and let me know
how you are going on. 1t Is exceedingly
absurd, but I really canuot shake OFT the recol-
lection of an unpleasant dream mad last
night, in which thought saw you hanged.
The letter fell from the readers hand: all
his scarcely-recoveredo equanlmlty vanished
nor was it till some weeks had elapsed that
he had quite recovered his former serenity OF
mind.
It is unfortunate for the lovers of the mar
velous that fve-and-twenty, years nave now
elapsed, and Mr.. Phillips has not yet come
under the hands of "Jack Ketch." l suppose
we must take it sexceptio probat regulam."
Not less remarkable than the above was a
case mentioned by DR.. Abercrombie, of most
respectable clergyman in country parish
in Scotland. who made a collection IN his
church for an object of public benevolence In
which he felt deeply interested. The amount
of the collection, which was received in ladies
carried through the church, fell greatly short
of his expectations, and during the evening OF
the day he frequently alluded to the fact with
expressions OF much disappointment. In the
following night he dreamed that three one
pound notes had been left in one of the ladies,
having been so compressed that they had stuck
in the corner when the ladle was emptled.
He was so impressed with the vision, that at an
early hour he went to the church, found the
ladle he had seen in his dream, and drew from
one of the corners of it the three one-pound
notes.
The same writer tells of another clergyman
who had gone to Edinburg from short dis
tance in the country, and was sleeping at an
inn, when he dreamed of seeing fire and one
of his children in the midst of it. He woke
with the impression, and instantly returned
home. When he arrived within sight OF his
house he found that it was on fire, and reached
the spot just in time to assist IN saving one OF
his children, who, in the alarm and confusion
resulting from the fire, had been left IN state
of danger.
A lady dreamed that an aged female relative
had been murdered by colorcd servant, and
the dream occurred more than once. She was
then so impressed by it that she went to the
house to whom it related, accompanied by a
gentleman, whom she prevailed upon to watch
in an adjoining room the next night. About
O'Clock in the morning the gentleman hear
ing footsteps on the stairs left his place of con-
cealment and met the servant carrying up a
quantity of Goals. Being questioned as to
where he was going, he replied in confused
and hurried manner that he was going to m mend END

possible, and on further investigation strong
knife was found concealed beneath the Goals.
A lady in Edinburgh had sent her .: watch to to
be repaired; a long time elapsed without her
being able to recover it, and after many excu-
ses she began to suspect that something, was
kers boy by whom the watch was ;. sent m h had a
dropped it in the street, and injured 1t IN sGcn e!
a manner that it could not be repaired. She
then went to the master, and without any al!u-
sion to her dream put the question to him
directly, when he confessed that it was true.
