President llncoln's Dream.

No trait in the character Of Abraham
Lincoln was more prominent and ad.
mirsd than his domssticity and love Of
those times whom he could surround
himself With his family. and entertain
himself and them with cheerful and
profitable conversation. While he was
neither . professor Of religion. nor svsn
fxed in his belief in any creed, still he
wal fond Of reading and discussing the
Bible.
On these Sunday evenings he invaria.
bly, read Q chapter or two from the
Scriptures, and then gave his sIplana-
ton Of IL. One evening he road . mum.
Der Of passages In both the Old and
New Tsstaments relating to dreams, to
which Mrs. Lincoln and the children
gave great attention. At length he
raised his eyes from the book and related
the following:
About ten days ago I retired one night
quite late. I had been up waiting for
some important dispatches from the
front, and could net have been long in
bed before I fell into slumbsr, for I was
very weary. During my slumber I be-
gan to dream. I thought there wal
great stiffness about me. and I heard
weeping. I thought that I got up and
went down stairs. The same stiffness
was there. Al I went from room to
room, I heard moaning and weeping.
At length I same TO the end room, which
I entered. and there before me was Q
magnificent dais. on which wal . corpse.
Here there were ssntries and . crowd
Of people. said to one Of the soldiers:
Who u dead in the White House 2
"Hs answered:
"'Ths President
"'How did be dis?' I asked.
"'By the hand Of an assassin was
the reply.
Then I heard . great wailing all
over the house. and Il vas 20 loud that
II seemed to awake me. ! awoke much
depressed. and slspt no mors during the
night. Such was my dream"
'.Dreadful!" said Tad, with q pale
face. Father. does IL mean a~nythins2"
Mono. my darling" said the
President with his old smile coming
over his face. '.It 10 only . dream"
However IL might have been with his
wife and family. the Impression Of that
dream never did wear away. Day after
day he heard the moaning and weeping.
and the solemn scene Of death again and
again fitted before him. In his rides
about Warrington. and in excursions
that he made be had an e%vsr.prsssnt
dread OF the assassin's hand, but he
brsathsd this to but M person. Attic
same time he said: at 10 . mere dream
On the night OF the fatal 14th OF
April. 1866. when the President was
assassinatsd BY John Wilkes Booth.
Mrs. Lincoln's first exclamation was
His dream was prophetic"
The remark was not then understood.
subsequently. the circumstances OF Mr..
Linooln's dream wal told to many In
Warrington. and formed one Of the most
impressive incidents connected with the
tragedy which gave the nation IT. i'm.
mortal martyr.

The SEWAGE WASTE OF THE FAMILY.
We are making some progress, both on
the farm and in the village, in utilizing
the contents of the sink drain, and the
water closet, or The earth closet. But
still there is great room for improvement
We consume in our families abundance of
animal food. furnishing all the materials
out of which plants are made. These
fertilizing matters are nearly all wasted,
unless there is some conlrivance to incor-
porate them with the soil. If properly
saved, the wastes of the family would
fertilize the half-acre garden adjoining
The dwelling, and make it produce maxi
mum crops of fruits and vegetables for
the supply of the table. We have tried
the two most common methods, that of
composing fecal matters, and that Of
turning them into Il cistern for the manu-
lacture of liquid manure. While both are
good, and each has its advantage, we
prefer the application of these wastes in
the form of liquid manure. There is not
much choice in either case as to the labor
to be expended in conveying fertilizers to
the soil. The use of the liquid manure
involves a little more expense in the fix.
lures. For this purpose cistern is needed
of sufficient capacity to hold all the water
used in the family for six Or eight weeks
The privy vault enlarged and cemented
will answer IL good purpose. large
earthen or iron pipe, four or more inches
in diameter, should conduct the sink and
laundry water into this cistern. This
liquid manure can be used to advantage
at all seasons of the year. For the seven
months or more it is available for direct
application to growing vegetables and
fruits in The garden, and for the winter
season it can be dumped on to the compost
heap where all the vegetable wastes o
The garden, and caves, and muck, arc
fermenting for next seasons use. This
liquid not only furnishes plant food bu
supplements the rain fall, which is often
times quite deficient for maximum crops
SO great is the satisfaction of seeing lu X
urant vegetation in the garden, and o
eating well grown fruit and vegetables
hat we should use liquid manure even il
it WAS more expensive Connecticut, III
