The Tiffin tribune. (Tiffin, Ohio) 1868-1887, 1876-11-23

n The reader Will have anticipated
what happened. That night, thu
very first 1 had spent In England, sht
! came to me again and owing, sup.
pose, 10 the rarity of the vision, she
seemed TO have gained new IOvelInes:
during the time she hsd ceased tC
bless my sleep. Never, l fancied, moi
even when she has appeared to me,
had her fsce come with greater dis
tinctDess, and / woke In the morning
with q more vivid memory OF ii than
ever. Had | possessed the artistic
faculty, believe that on the morning
after tnat dream / could have painted
her so as to be readily recognizable
by any one who knew her if she hsd
any real existence. It is impossible
to tell the length OF dreams, for so
much seems to happen in them in 8
very short space Of them ; but as far
as could judge, the dream on this
occasion lasted an unusual length Of
time, and in fact seemed hardly ever
to leave me during the night. ut
Ny first feeling in the morning q as
one Of delight. l had yesrued for her
coming, and now she had visited me
again, and yet, such Is the ineOn-
stancy OF human nature, felt at the
same time alarmed and startled at
her reappearance. It seemed 50
strange that all the time l had been
in France hsd no vision of her, and
now, the moment / set foot in Eng
land again, she reaPpeared. I had no
difficulty in deciding what 1 should
do. / would commence the search
again, this time in England. The
omen was too plain, | thought, to
be dIsregarded but before I went
away l must wait in town to see my
father and mother, who were expee-
ted, as l learned, in two days tine.
i had the same dream next night. !
On the day after my father arrived I; ]
and | told him as vaguely as l could |
do, consistently with truth, what had |
occurred and what proposed for N.Y.
self.
My father looked very grave, and
(it was at dessert) played with his
seemingly in a great
state Of bewillermeut At last he
said
''You knew my opinion OF ali this
business. Frank, when you left
home, and it is not changed. But it

My fsther caught at the suggestion
