A DREAM OF DEATH.

On May 81, lS47, Sir Joseph Noel
Patton, the celebrated artist. wrote a
letter to Mrs. Croine, which she subse-
quently published in her eerie work,
" Night-Side of Nature" The letter,
although it only recites dream, is of
marvellous character, when it is con-
sidered how numerous were the CO.
medicines required in order to accom-
plish its prophetic symbolism. The
vision is so clearly portrayed in Sir
Joseph's own letter, and it is obviously,
in citations Of this kind, so far prefsra-
bic to give the original words Of an
authority, that the letter is here repro
duced:
That dream Of my mothers was IS
follows: She stood in long, dark,
empty gallery; on one side was my
father and on tho other my eldest sis
ter. Amelia; then myself and the rest
Of the family, according to our ages.
At the foot Of the hall stood my young
est sister, Alexes, and above her my
sister Catherine creature: by the
way. in person and mind more like an
angel in heaven than an inhabitant Of
earth. We all stood silent and motion
less. At last there entered an I'M
imagined something, that, casting its
grim shadow before, had envel-
oped all the trivialities of the pre-
ceding dream in an atmosphere
of horror. 1t entered, stealthily de-
scending the three steps that led into
the chamber Of horror, and my mother
felt that it was death. The shape was
dwarfish. bent. and shrivelled. He

santry approaching from the railroad
station. They were mostly in Alsatian
costume or in French blcuses, and
many wore wooden shoes. Nearly every
man carried q bag or satchel or bundle,
and they plodded along in detachments
Of 100 or 200, walking four abreast.
Az they came nearer We saw that each
detachment was under command Of q
sergeant, and that several guards
with rifles under their arms were
marching beside them and keep
\ ing close watch on the moving
columns. These young farmers and
? mechanics had not been found guilty Of
sny crime, and were not on their way
70 punishment. They were German
citizens, and for that reason were being
marched away to the forts to carry
rifles and bayonets for the greater
power and glory Of Otto Won Bismarck
2or some Of the best years Of their
lives. Their mothers and sisters and
wives were at homo, working hard in
order to feed and clothe them and their
lsllow-soldiers through the years Of
their personal usefulness. They did
not look happy.
When No arrived ut the cathedral on

tragic late, and warned him that he
would be slain in a duel. Hence
forth this spectre frequently appeared
to Burroughs, and as often as the ap-
partition came the unfortunate man, I'M
able to restrain his mental anguish,
would cry out, with great shrieking and
trembling Of body "0h God, she
comes, she comes :" These vista
tions continued from time to time until
Caisho's death. He was killed in a
duel, and the morning before his death
the apparition came for tho last time.
The rumor of this haunting Of Caisho
Burroughs had spread so widely that
it reached the Kings ears. Charles l..
was so interested in the account,
Aubrey declares, that he cross-exam-
ined Sir John Burroughs, as also Colonel
Renee, as to the truth Of the matter,
and in consequence of their report
thought it worth while to send to Flor
ence to make inquiries there. The re-
suit Of the Kings investigations in
Tuscany was that it was found that the
unhappy woman had expired at the very
time her apparition first came to her
lover in London, when he was sleeping
with Colonel Renee.
