The popular impression. strengthened BY
some scientific opinions, that consumption
cannot be cured, has no doubt fastened the
death of many invalids, by depriving them Of
the consolation of hope. Persons afflicted with

gloomy, foreboding countenances of those
around. For our part, we do not believe that
consumption is incurable, and let physicians

Some Strangely Fulfilled Dreams

Richard Proctor writes in Belgra-
via: Dickens once had dream
which was fulfilled. at least to his
own satisfaction. Here" he wrote
on May 80, 1868, sis a curious case
at first hand. On Thursday night
last week, being at the Office here, "
in London, dreamed that / saw a
lady in a red shawl with her back
toward me, whom l supposed to be
e. On her turning around 1 found
that l didn't know her, and she
said, Il am Miss Napier.' All the
time | was dressing next morning

her brother. and the lady in the red
shawl, whom they present as Miss
Napier.' These are all the circum.
stances exactly told" This was
probably case Of unconcious cere-
bration. Dickens had no doubt really
seen the lady, and been told that she
was Miss Napier, whom his attention
was occupied with other matters.
There could be nothing unusual in
his dreaming about person whom
he had thus seen without noticing.
or course it was an odd coincidence
that the lady of whom he had thus
dreamed should be- introduced 10
him soon after-possibly the day after.

been specially warned in dream

THE LAST DAYS OF JOSEPH.
GENERAL STATEMENT.

The last song has burst from the lips of the
dying Jacob his farewell prophecy has been
uttered, proclaiming the future of the twelve
tribes; his final charge has been given, COM
manding that his ashes shall rest. not be-
meath an Egyptian pyramid, put beside his
fathers dust in the cave of Machpela, and
then the soul of the patriarch ascends the
golden ladder of his early dream. Soon slow
and solemn procession winds its way from
the banks of the Nile, across the Arabian
sands and up the sleeps of Canaan, to He
bron's hill The ancestral sepucher is open
ed once more, and by the side of Leah the
embalned form of her husband lies down at
last. The three great patrarchs rest together,
keeping watch ind ward over the Promised
Land through the centuries. until, in Gods
own time, the fiery column shall lead the
hosts into their heritage. AS the mourning
company return TO Egypt, o new fear nils the
breast of Joseph's brothers. Their own gull
ty memory haunts them, and they dread a
just vengeance now that their father is no
more They send Ia Joseph a full confession
and prayer for forgiveness, presenting the
name of the departed Jacob as their plea, and
bow around him in humble supplication,
pledging the service of their lives. Tears
start from the eyes of their princely brother
whose nature is nobler than their narrow
thought can comprehend. He relieves their
fears by words of comfort, and shows them
how God has overruled their evil purpose
and nade it the means of preserving multi
tudes he rewards their wrong with tender
ness, and cares fog them and their children.
The picture of a happy old age rises before
us. We see great grandchildren climbing
upon the knees of Joseph; and descendants
rising up to do him honor. We hear him from
his dying pillow repeating Gods promises,re-
minding his people that Egypt is but their
place of sojourn, and their true home awaits
them in Canaan. To attest his own faith in
Gods word, to show that. though dying
prince of Egypt he would live in memory as
a son of Israel, to encourage the hearts of his
people through the long night of oppression
awaiting them, he commands that his bones
shall not be buried until the hour when they
can rest in their own land. SO. during
hundred and fifty years, the mummied body
of Joseph lies in its caslket, guarded by his
descendants, and awaiting the hour when
God shall lead his people home.

Progress In Telephones.

The Scientific American describes
some experiments it has been making
with telephones. One of these was to
place two of the we'll known Blake
transmitters near Mr.. Beecher's church,
Brooklyn. Connecting wires ramified
from this point in all directions as
far as Yonkers and Elizabeth, and a
large number Of telephones were placed
in circuit. On Sunday, April %, the
second trial, the result was st-ikingly
successful. From the opening note of
the organ prelude to the last word of the
preachers voice at the close of the serv-
ice. everything was delivered to the ears
OF the listening telephones in the most
perfect manner, the tones that came
over the wires being SO full, round, clear
and distinct, it almost seemed to the
hearers in New York, Yonkers and Eliz-
a5eth as if they were stationed within
the church itself. directly in front of
the speaker. The delivery of music
was equally perfect, every note of the
organ and of The individuals of the choir
being fully brought out.
In consequence of the successful result
OF these experiments, says the Scientific
American, several new improvements
have been suggested for trial, and there
seems TO be every probability that IN a
short time some new and very effective
instruments viii be in use, by which all
who desire may carry the sounds of
church service into their dwellings,, and
may also enjoy the best lectures, mu-
steal and other entertainments with the
utmost satisfaction in their homes.
Heretofore, in listening to the telephone.
it has required effort and strain of the
ear on the part of the listener. Butt this
experiment shows that all sounds may
be delivered in full and easy tones, read
lily heard, with all the natural charac-
teristics, modulations and infections of
the human voice.

THAT GRUmBLIye OLD WOMAN

There was an old woman, and--what do you

Yet this grumbling old woman never was

She had nice cottage, a hen-house and barn,
And sheep whose fine wool furnished blank
A COW that supplied her with butter and cheese,
A large flock OF geese, and a hive full of bees.
Yet she grumbled and grumbled from morn
For this foolish old woman thought nothing

But when descended the gentle rain,
Blessing the bountiful fields of grain,
And bringing new lie TO flower and bud,
She said there was coming second flood.
She never gave aught to the needy and poor;
The outcast and hungry she turned from her
door.
"shall work." she said, with awas of the

But the rich she regarded with envy and spite;
She said twas a shame-'twasn't decent nor

That the naughty old Squire. with his bow

And the grabbed old fellow-to spite her, no

With a cupola on 1t, as grand rs you please,
And rooster that whiried head and tail with

The wind took the old woman up like a kite
