bedroom on the Sltfin0~roOm. In the
night she dreamed that her son came
home. entered the sitting-room. armed
himself at the fire, took off his CO al an5
hung it over chair, and LOOKED in at
her moment, as was his habit before
retiring. She tried to speak to him,
but could not. In the morning she
awoke with the impression that he had
really come home and looked for his
coat and hat, but, as it was not there,
concluded he had taken itup-stairs with
hir. At breakfast. as he did not app
pear. she sent one of his brothers up TO
call him, but the young man came back
and said his bed was not disturbed and
he had not returned. While they were
eating breakfast he rode into the yard
on powerful black horse he had lust
bought All the family turned out
TO welcome him and inspect his new
purchase, and as he stepped out with
the animal &c show it OF 1t kicked
at him viciously, killing him on
the spot. Four of the five sons in
that family died violent deaths, and in
each case the mother had remarkable
dream. But these are condolences
rather than warnings, and are not sus-
ceptible of any coherent or scientific
analysis. That myst lious re ex chord
which unites kindred may act as an
imperfect spiritual telegraph wire over
which i'll news travels in ghostly, intan.
gible shapes, but it is worked by no
human agency. As the moon controls
the tides in their ebbing and flowing,
SO do the powers of air control our
world OF dreams. 1t is only when we
give them reasoning or perceptiye faeul-
ties that we maze mistake, and over
value the power.
Ignorant people fortify themselves
with what is called dream book. BY
reading it for an Interpretation we find
that TO dream of snakes denotes an enc

son; to dream cf receiving letters is a

Ply; to dream of a pea ock is sign of
poverty; to dream of wedding is
sign of funeral, and to dream of

is believed that certain days and con-
ditions will regulate the quality of the
dream.
fo-night, tonight is Friday night,
Lay me down in duty whifc
Dream who my husband is to DO;
And lay my children by his side,
If I'm to live to be his BRIDE"
Fortune, marriage and death are the
events which the dreamer is always
endeayoring TO interpret. The first
two belong naturally to those who are
beginning life. Gamblers think "a
great deal of their dreams, in regard
to cards, but as it is hard TO control
those erratic messengers q class of peo-
pie called fortune tellers do the dream
ing for a consideration and predict
luck. The queen of hearts is con-
sidered favorable TO marriage and
riches. To dream of this card is great
good luck. The Jack of spades is an
i'll omen. There are conditions at
tached to the objects dreamed Of, as
this:
. maid who dreams of verdant groves,
VIII surely have the man she loves;
lsut II the groves are nipped with frost,
-Shel be sure in m trriage cross't."
If a young man dreams Of mai'ying
a pretty g RI, he will be sure to marry
q simpleton; and if girl dreams she
has a nice-looK ng lover, it is sure
sign she will take up with putty
head.
40 dream you love girl who's pretty,
Foret lis that you'l in sorrow part;
But II sou dream SHE'S wise and witty,
Shell be the darling of your heart
There is this popularity Of dreams
they all stop gust short of fulnllment.
If we dream of banquet we awake
just as we raise the vands to our lips.
We dream of thirst, but not Of quench-
ing it, We dream Of flying, and ust
AS we launch out and are about to en-
joy the delightful sensation Of floating
in space we awake with bumped head
from having come in contact with the
floor. The dreams of an opium eater
are said to be delightful, but not so are
the contortions and shrieks which ac-
company them. The same law of con-
trad ction which is used POLITICALLY to
express the meaning of dreams may be
applied to their actions. When baby
smiles sweetly in its sleep the mother
says it dreams Of angels, but the doctor
explains that it has the stomach-ache.
Lover gives the correlative of this very
prettily in his ballad of Rory O'More:
. Now, Rory III cry if you don't let me go,
Sure dhrame every night that I'm hating
you So.
"och," says Rory, that same I'm delighted to
hear,
For ,dhrames always go by contraries, my
