And pleasing dreams. aud sumbers light"
The pleasures of dreams cal" never be
told. How happy we are when lost to the
troubles and sorrows of this world, and are
roaming in the sweet dream-lands, visiting
the scenes where we spent our childhood,
roaming over the fields where first we know
nature in her true form, spread under the
shade of the old oak where first we loved,
kissing the obiec. of our future happiness.
Dreams, sweet Dreams come to US in our hour
of sadness, and watt our souls o'er thy bill
lows OF happiness. Rested |, the problem Of
life involving many knot!y question; rested
the care that has wrinkled our brow. and
made our heads hoary before their time;
rested thessoul in it's longings for the better
land. The hoary head, the fiery youth, the
babe in the cot, alike, find repose in thy
bosom. When rejected love, with an evil
eye, comes upon his fair one, dreaming un-
told pleasures, with smile of innocence
playing upon her rosy lips, he turns his eyes
to heaven and says: "Sleep on. thou fairy of
dream land, let not trouble nor care disturb
thy repose." Murderous treachery is buried
under repentance.
How many a rich maiden, whose heart is
with poor man, dreams of meeting her
loved one where stern fathers nor silly
uncles disturb their peaceful woeing-meet
to enjoy that which is forbidden when they
wake.
Pleasant dreams are but to the innocent.
To those whose memories are as black as the
darkness of that lowered over Egypt, dreams

The hope of the above is the dream of
home and freedom Altho' scourged by the
mastor's lash, bound in chains of
infamy, and sweating for anothers
bread in his dreams he heeds
not the torturing sores, and the burning
heat::of Southern sun is forgotten.
In our dreams the loved ones that are
departed from us come back to disperse the
gloom that has shrouded US since they left.
We mingle with them as we did in former
days, we cherish them because they have
been pilgrims and have wandered from us.
The Joy of dreams are as sweet to the peas
ant as TO crowned head. If men would
to one another as they wish to be done by,
whether sleeping or waking, life would be
one continuous dream. From the cradle to
the grave would be but day.
