DREKs1s.-Dreams are night thoughts, un-
checked by the judgment and uncontrolled by
the will. It is not true that we do not reason
in dreams, that exercise of the judgment is
wholly sus pended, and the will is entirely pow
erless or ceases to act. These faculties are
not altogether in allegiance, but they doze
while the subordinate powers of the mind
those which play the part Of picture carriers
and record fnders-ransack the treasures OF
memory and mingle together in the direst con-
fusion of old things and the new. Imagination
is not active, but it remains just long enough
awake to supply the connecting links which
give seeming continuity to those parts OF the
phantasmagoria which we chance to remember
on recovering perfect self-consciousness, and,
which, being remembered, we call dreams" !"
No one remembers more than one dream. un-
less he has been aroused from sleep more Jilan
once. This has led to the inference that
dreams only occur at the moment or in the act
of awaking. There are dreams which take
place in the process of returning to conscious
ness-for example, those instantaneous scenes
and spectacles which are suggested by the
sound or feeling which rouse the dreamer !;
but as the result of a long and close study OF
the subject with view to discover the nature
of dreams and the laws of dreaming, for med
ical purposes, in connection with the treat
ment Of sleeplessness, 1 am persuaded that
dreams occur in the course of sleep and are
wholly forgotten. That they do not and can
not take place in deep sleep is probable, be-
cause deep sleep is general sleep, and when this
state prevails the subordinate faculties are
sleeping, and the pictures and records which
compose dreams are not disturbed. To under
stand dreams we must understand sleep, and
it is because the two phenomena have not
hitherto been studied together that so little is
generally known about either.

THE SHADoWED CROSS.

II E
In welded love our lives had twined.
One year-one careless, golden year
And then he died, my darling died;
And, for the JOY that barbored there,
Ny heart was filled with dark despair
traced the haunts he loved the best
In dear, lost days-alas, so brief!
And Mem'ry's breathngs, once SO sweet,
But famed the furnace of my grief:
They brought no tears to my relief.
At early dawn sought his grave,
Mid quaint carved stones, o>ersroW with moss
And 10 upon the hallowed mound
In seeming emblem of my loss
There fell the shadow of Cross
And kneelng there in fearless woe,
Methought heard my darling say:
ooh. love thy grief shadow is,
Which as dream shall pass away,
Where shadows melt in cloudless day.
Then found my anguish vent in tears,
Strange tears of heav'n born peace, that shed
Around my soul a holy calm:
And when rose thus comforted,
The shadow from the grave had fled.

THE MAY FLOWERS.

OFT have walked these woodland paths
Without the blest forcknowing,
That underneath the withered leaves
The fairest buds were growing.
To-day the sweet wind sweeps away
The faded autumn splendor,
And shows the sweet arbutus flowers -
Springs children, pure and tender.
O Prophet souls, with lips Of bloom
Outvieing in their beauty
The pearly tints of ocean shells,
Yet teach me faith and duty.
"Walk life's dark way" We seem TO say,
with loves divine fOreknowing
That where man sees but withered leaves
God sees the sweet flowers growing

HISTORICAL AMERICAN FLAGS.

At the commencement of the American
Revolution there was variety OF flags dis
played in the revolted colonies. The Union
flags mentioned so frequently in the news
papers of 1774 were the ordinary English en-
signs bearing the Union Jack. These gener-
ally bore some patriotic motto, such as, Lib
erty'' Liberty and Property and 'Liberty
and Union" After the battle of Lexington
the Connecticut troops displayed on their
standard the arms of the colony, with the
motto Qm transtulI s,tstinet, and later, by an
act of the Provincial Congress, the regiments
we're distinguished by the colors of their flags,
as, for the Seventh, blue and for the Eighth
orange. The early ships Of New York are
said to have displayed beaver, the device OF
the New Netherlands, on their ensigns. 1t is
uncertain what flag, if any, was used by the
Americans at Bunker HILL The flag display
ed by Putnam at Prospect Hill, on July Is,
following, was red, with Qm transtuM sustiret
on one side, and on the other side an "Appeal
to Heaven.n This last motto was adopted
April 20, 1776, by the Provincial Congress Of
Massachusetts, as the one to be borne on the
flag Of the Congress Of the colony, white
flag with green pine tree. What flag Ar
mold carried in his expedition to the Canadas
is not known. The first armed vessel COM
missioned by Washington sailed under the
'Pne Tree Flag" The first republican flag
unfurled in the Southern States was blue,
with a white crescent on the upper corner
next to the staff, designed by Colonel William
Moultrie, of Charleston, at the request OF the
Council of Safety, and was hoisted on the for
tifications of that city in September, IT'S
The flag displayed on the east bastion OF Fort
Sullivan, afterward called Moultrie, on June
2S, 1776, was the same, with the word Liberty
on it. On the west bastion waived the flag
called the "Great Union," first raised by
Washington at Cambridge, January 2, 1776.
They consisted of thirteen alternate red and
white stripes of the present flag of the United
States, with the cross of St. George and St.
Andrew emblazoned on the blue cotton in
place of the stars. This flag was carried also
by the fleet under the command of Commodore
Esek Hopkins when it sailed from the Della
ware Capes February II, 1776. Hopkins had
the device of a rattlesnake in the attitude OF
striking, with the motto: "Don't tread on
me-" This emblem was suggested probably
by the cuts displayed in the newspapers at the
time, which represented snake divided into
thirteen parts, each bearing the abbreviation
of colony with the motto beneath :-"Join
or DE-" typifying the necessity of union.
The snake was represented generally with
thirteen rattles. Sometimes it was coiled
around the pine tree at it's base and sometimes
depicted at full length on field of thirteen
alternate red and white and red and blue
stripes Philadelphia Times.

third grade is branded as "eagles." These are

It may be here stated that a peculiar Kind Of

in this speciality a large trade is done among

right has a girl to marry and 60 into house

LAWLESS BOYS

Under this headline a leading
and widely circulated paper on our
table has an editorial which we copy
for the edi6cation of those of the
young men and boys of MorIistOwn
who hang round the hotels, depot,
church doors of Sundays, in pretty
weather, and on the street corners
Generally these chaps are made up
Of material that will fit in almost
any place whore idleness and impu-
dencs can exp rse themselves. In
the case of bOys-and we know of
no town OF the same population as
ours with a larger supply of pre-
maturely grown boys-parents or
guardians should use every effort in
their power to keep them at home
or in the society of those whose con-
versation and morals are calculated
TO benefit and elevate rather than
degrade and vitiate them. Our con
temPorary's thoughts are evidently
upon older types Of youth than is
our own at this moment. There is
little army of young recruits in
Morristown that should be muster
ed out of the idle, worthless and vi
tiAting life the are now living be-
fore they become entirely untitled
for honorable duties in the battle of
life. This is what is said on the sub
ject by the
New York Ledger
In reading the newspapers of
Australia and New Zealand, we are |
often struck with points of resem-
blance between the condition off
those building empires and our own.
IL Is folly TO compare the United
States with ancient nations, like
those in Europe. The true com
parison is with new lands rapidly
Peopled by emigration from the old
world.
One peculiar product of these new
countries is n creature called by
different names, but essentially the
same in them all. We call him the

styled the hOOdlum. At Sydney he

regretted, as it slid into obscurity,

for scientific purposes, and it was

The man, woman or child who
would now doubt or question the
future Of MorristOwn must be blind
and ''can I see afar off. That there
are persons in our midst who can
not realize this, we do not deny
and yet they are its staunch and de-
voted friends. Nothings would more
delight them and inspire their ardor
than 70 see it pushing up to high
plane of advancement. Their trouble
is a lack of faith in its destiny-a
conviction that "these things can't
be-" We have no words of censure
or rebuke to heap upon them. We
can in part account for their want
of confidence in this direction. Nor
ristown has been so long kept down
by unavoidable causes that it is Diff
cult for them to realize that it is on
the eve of a new era. In due time
the scales will fall from their eyes
and none will be more prompt and
eager to proclaim its achievements.
How does Morristown stand to-
day? What arc its hopes and it's
aspirations? Has it really a future ?
Is it not a fact that we are soon to
have communication by rail with
number of the most important
States of the SOuth-a highway
that will not only penetrate them
but tap the Atlantic coast? 1t re-
quires no great foresight to perceive
how and to what extent this will
tend to enhance aud magnify the
fortunes Of MorristOwn. Who does
not see, in its near future, its Dor
ders extending, its population null
tiplying. its commerce widening and
its manufactures quadrupling?
But this is not all. A vast COM
mercial and mineral region lies
north of it just in its rear, stretch,

of Kentucky and sweeping on to the
