the State. Two candles signify breaches of friendship and dissensions. Dreams of hares signify fight; of dogs, quarrels; of sheep, wealth, unless they should be shorn or dis essed: the growing of a cock denotes victory, unless anyone should interrupt it. then it is an omen that the victory, which was on the eve of being obtained, will be lost.
 The rising sun denotes increase of wealth and spIendor; the setting sun the contrary. A dream of the full moon is one of very bad omen, for it signifies that immediate misfor- tunes and decrease of greatness will follow. Dreams of the eclipse of the sun or moon predict an intermission of prosperity, but that it will again return. Whoever dreams that his hair is pulled, it is 8 warning that something will happen by which his pride
 will have a fall. The loss of hat has at one time been interpreted as an omen of disgrace,
 at another as protection from some injury; but the loss of & cloak, & O., is 8 sure sign
 that poverty will succeed to wealth. To
 dream that the pillow is dragged from our
 bed signifies that something will happen by
 which our rest will be disturbed.
 Whoever dreams that he is smoking tobac- co has a warning that he will turn his wealth into smoke. The best omened dreams are those in which the dreamer fancies himself carried gently through the air, for they fore tell increase of dignity or happy death. To dream that handsome shoes are presented by friend is 8 warning of timely flight; but If anyone in his sleep searches for boots or shoes without finding them it foretells that when in great danger he will be prevented from escaping. Whoever dreams that some one puts clowns cloak on him, a mask, etc., ! must be cautious lest more cunning man than himself should deceive him and then l laugh at his simplicity. dream in which person seems to follow 8 cross in some public procession is sAgnifcation that he will be per- secuted on account of his religion.
 If anyone dreams of violent knocking at . I.s~A ISF f1 vAd 1n O warning of approaching death. If a man dreams that he is dead, it is not an omen of his death, because whoever dreams that he is
 dead also dreams that he sees or speaks after his death but to dream that our curtains are
 drawn aside by 8 man lately dead is an inti- | nation of the death of some near relation. A man having dreAmt that an egg was | buried beneath his bed went to consult 8 conjuror, who told him there was a treasure concealed under his bed. The men dug and | discovered quantity of silver, in the middle
 of which there was gold. He ran in ecstasies
 to the conjuror, offering some pieces ots1lver as reward; upon which the conjuror said -'tDo you give me none of the yoke of the egg?" meaning that he expected some of the 1 gold also. This dream is related by Cicero, De Divinatione," ibro primo; also by Vale- 1 rius Maximus.
 The dream of Guntramnus, king of the Franks, is very remarkable. This good king,
 
 one day separated from the whole of his train
 except one servant, and night coming on while in the midst of thick wood, he sat 1 down on the bank of a stream, and being ex- l tremely weary fell asleep on the bosom of his
 servant. The servant keeping watch, and
 having his eyes steadfastly fixed on the coun- | tenance of his master, he saw very small animal of the lizard species issue from the
 mouth of the king and make for the stream,
 which it seemed anxious to pass; then the
 servant, stretching out his sword, formed 8
 sort of bridge, over which the reptile passed; ! and having cave at the foot of the noun
 tain side opposite, remained there few min
 utes, and then coming out, passed over the
 same bridge, and entered again into the
 mouth of the King. who just then awakening,
 said that he had dreamt that he had passed
 over an iron bridge, and having entered 8 1 cave, found there vast heap of riches. Then 1 the servant having related what he had wit messed, they both entered the cave by the
 way the beast had pointed out, and found there great treasure.
