THE"DoUBLE soUL"IN SLEEP.

An article in this mornings paper
on the "Mysteries of Dream" recalls
TO my mind dream which illustrated
and apparently answered the query,
Does the soul really leave the body

thought was, how comfortable the
contrast between the watch below and
the one on deck. When, prestol /

morning. had landed at the Battery
The lower part of the city wore the
usual deserted look. 1 wished to lin
ger and look around for familiar
things that had not seen for some
time, but was hurried on by the i'm
preston that was only on short
visit, and that the watch would soon
be called, and I had bat a little time
to visit home and back to the ship in
time for duty so up Broadway took
my way as soon as my legs could carry
me, and was soon in the old familiar
Bowery. By this time things began
to look lively. Carts and omnibusses
came rumbling down town. Shop
keepers were out taking down their
shutters and crowds of artisans were
hurrying to their work with tools and
dinner pails, as natural as life. AS
the morning wore on the streets be-
came more lively and crowded, and
as l neared home | began to meet
those whom l knew; but had no
time to talk to them, the feeling that
my time was limited grew stronger
and stronger, and passed them with
nod of recognition, even when they
apparently wished to stop and talk.
for l noticed that they seemed sur.
prised to see me. AT last ! was with.

l had another little sister and-eight
bells and starboard watch ahoy
forced me to drag myself slowly and
sorrowfully from between the blan.
kets, without completing the journey
Now all this is common-place
enough, and would not be worth the
time in relating if it were not fol
three things: First, that was the
birthday of sister knew not OF, ani

years afterwards; second, that those

This Sarsaparilla is a combination of

of Potassium and Iron, and is the
most efficacious medicine yet known
for the diseases it is intended TO cure.
Its ingredients are SO skilfully
combined that the full Alternative
effect of each is assured, and while
it is so mild as to be harmless even
to children, it is still so effectual as
to purge out from the system those
impurities and corrupfions which
develop into loathsome disease.
The reputation it enjoys is derived
from its cures, and the confidence
which prominent ply all over

experience of its usefulness.
Certificates attesting its virtues
have accumulated, and arc con-

of these cases are publicly known,
they furnish convincing evidence of
the superiority of this Sarsaparilla

A PIoUs editor of the Chicago jour

A mule is a great prophet.
He can prophesy mans sudden ILL

He is also possessed Of great heeling
power.
The saying that a bright jewel lies
deeply buried In the end OF a mules
tail is delusiOD and a snare.
The only way we could be persuad-
ed to eat a mule would be TO beat
him.
Likewise, the only way we could be

Now that tho smoke Of the October

true that several ingenious combinations
can be suggested on both sides, showing
that either Hayes or Tilden 'can be elect
Cd without the vote OF New York, audit is
barely possible that such an event may
take place; but the rational probability
Is that the thirty.five electoral votes OF
the Empire State will constitute the CEN

victory with them wherever they so.
The strength Of such compact body
Of votes Is too great, The country, ia

important TO be neglected by intelligent
