Mystery of Dreams.

A story 10 told Of a man who fell asleep -
the clock tolled the FIRST hour Of twelve and
awakened ere the twelfth stroke hsd died
away. In the interval be dreamed that he
had committed crime, been detected after
live years, tried and condemned. The
shock Of finding the halter about his neck
aroused linn to consciousness. when he dis
covered that these events had happened In
an infiitesimsi fragment of time.
Mohammed, Wishing to illustrate the
wonders Of sleep, told how certain man
began ashek; ound himself for his pride,
made poor fisherman; then he lived rs one
for sixty years, brought up q family and
worked hard; how, upon waking from his
long dream, so short had he been asleep,
that the narrow necksd gourd bottle filled
with water. which he knew he had over
turned as he fell asleep, had I"t time In
which to empty itself.
VITA is il that crowds the experience Of
years into an a"m II time, and how can We
explain the workings "fa mind thst moves

Is ssle.pi How often when we wake do We
shrink from the dull routine Of sordid ex.
perience that 10 befor us, and wish our
selves back into the pleasauter life Of dream
land.

pictured upon our minds, and which dwells
with us for Gays through the influence Of
dream?
Is 1t possible that when one he. been
asleep the soul has aoated away, seen the

impressions which we cannot comprehend,
aud which cling to us with such tenacity

lift 10 true, as some scientific men claim,
that there 10 such Substantial, vital mental
o-gsnisn, which constitutes the incorporeaI
sud essential entity OF every living
creature, then we can understand what IL 10
that controls aud Influences us, that cou-

our bodies, when they lie senseless and
asleep, TO ream the earth at will.
II must be the part of some substance
which bad m actual existence; and as our
material organism necessarily came from
source or fountain of pre-existing matter,

Tom from an old negro who formerly lived
here. and whom she met during her visits to
her brother, the Rev. IL. w. Beecher, while
he resided In this city. In order TO verify

DEAR SIK,-In reply to your Inquiries l

was not the biography Of any one man. The

colored cock TO hSr husband, slave In Ken
tEeky. She told me he was so faithful that
his master trusted him to come alone and
unmatched to Cincinnati to market bis farm
produce. Now this, according to the laws
of Ohio, gave the man his freedom, since II
any master brought or sent his slave into
Ohio he became free. But she said her hus-
band bad given his word ss . Christian 70
his master that he would not take advantage
Of the law-his master promising him his
freedom. Whether he ever got IL or not
know not. II was four or i've years afier,

HAIL STORM.
NoRTu R,vsa MILLS, July a.

Ass's" MILLss July ~.
Mr.. HARPER This neighborhood
was visited on Wednesday last by the
most terrific hailstorm over known in
Its history. The hail began about
nall mile south OF the place OH which
We live, being attended with high
WIND and heavy rainfall, aud continu.
Oh Ito devastation, travelling in nearly
an easterly direction. aud marking a
ieeolation wherever it passed. Corr
nelde and gardens suffered in particu.
!sr' the corn being beaten to the earth,
the blades shivered into strings. and
the stalk badly bruised. Gardens
were fearfully mangled; many of the
most useful vegetables were almost
destroyed. Fortunately, however.
the width Of tho Country over which
the storm travelled. was narrow, not
exceeding mile wide. So that those
injured are comparatively few. Mr..
y: A. Holt and two Of the young MIR.
Riieys took shelter under a tree dur.
ing the storm, they were considerably
beaten by the hail and almost suffoca.
ted by the over accumulation of car.
bolic acid gas in the atmosphere. which
frequently attends these electric
storms. and destroys the oxygen or
lfe.giving principle in the atmosphere,
and often results in an entire suspen.
sion OF respiration and finally in death.
hese young men describe their
ieellngs as rapidly approaching this
crisis. and no doubt if the storm had
continued n few minutes longer, life
would have been destroyed. Doubt.
less tins storm was closely allied to
the cyclones, and tornadoes of the
western states but was prevented by
our mountains from reaching that eli.
max OF terror which is common in le.

This teaches US the important fact
that our livos. our fortunes, our pro-
perry aud all. are in the handle of an
other who can dispose of them when

midst OF lie we arc in death.
The very clements we breathe, and
with which wo arc daily brought in
