Dreamed He Was a Horse.

There are dreams and there are dreams
dreams which are as vague as thin air,
and dreams which make and leave an i'm
preston on the mind which days cannot
eradicate; dreams which make us laugh;
dreams which are foolish or simple; dreams
that are profound and mysterious; but it
was left for good old Parson Squills, of
Florida, to dream that he was a horse
one of your masculine, noisy, neighing,
kicking kind
The good old parson had many appoint
ments far and wide apart, and some days
he rode as much as fourteen hours to
reach the most remote ones from his home.
One night about dark he rode up to
good brothers house to spend the night.
The brother had been killing hogs, and
the supper table was laden with spare ribs,
sausage, hogs-head cheese, etc. The par
son had missed his dinner and had keen
appetite, and he could not resist the tempt
ing, steaming bits of choice meats before
him, and, unmindful of dyspepsia or what
not, he ate very heartily.
At a reasonable hour he was shown to
his room, and he retired for the night.
The good farmer brother was also wearied
from his long days labor, and he also
retired rather early
About midnight the farmer was aroused
from peaceful slumber by considerable
noise somewhere about the premises. He
lifted his head from the pillow, and he
plainly heard horse neighing, whiekering
and kicking violently against the stable
door, and assuming at once that the visitors
horse had gotten out of the stable and was
creating riot among his own stock, he
bounced out of bed, hurriedly dressed and
stepped out of mis- bedroom into the hall
Then his attention was drawn to the par
sons room across the hall, where he heard
the horse squealing and neighing and kick
-bam-bam-bam and puzzled be-
yond measure, he forced his way into the
room, and as the farmer opened the door
he saw the outlines of the good man stand
ing rect in the middle of the floor, and he
heard him painting for breath, which was
followed by long-drawn sigh of relief.
'Strike-a mateh-my good brother, said
the parson between breaths, and then he
calculated ''Pshwhew good sakes alive,
must be fool r The brother struck
light, and he found the bedstead scattered
and broken up. The footbar was shattered
and the mass of bedstead and bedding had
come down upon the floor in heap.
g 'Pshwhew," calculated the parson again,
Il must be fool dreamed l was
horse, and | thought was kicking at the
barn door. Fetch the light this way,
brother. don't believe there is any skin
eft on my heels
The bedstead was past further service,
md the brother had to spread the parsons
bed on the floor.

Water as a Substitute for Grace.
From Lewiston Maine, Journal.

tFnm Lewiston tMaIhel JOURNAL
Sister Weymouth was one of the most
notable women that ever lived in the good
old Maine town Of Blankmouth She was
notable for her powers as an exhorter,
which shoue in the village prayer-meeting
as brilliantly as those of any licensed
preacher whom the villagers heard, and for
her quick wit, that found expression, in
many quaint and pithy speeches, some Of
which are treasured to this day, although
she has long been gathered to her fathers
and mothers,
A worthless young man named Frost
fell in love with Sister Weymouth S daugh-
ter. Failing to melt the stern objections
of the young woman's mother in any other
way, he pretended to be converted under
her exhortations, Joined the church, and
was married to his hearts desire.
Very soon the bad blood in Frost's veins
asserted itself, and the rascal deserted his
wife after he had lived with her but FIVE
or six months Not long afterward his
child was born While the officiating par
sou was giving the infant bath Sister
Weymouth came in.
Look here r said she "Be sure to
hold that baby under the water long
enough to get all the Frost out of it =

Of Europe has developed the fact that catar-

germs or parasites, which infect the mucous

that will do this. In diphtheria, its superior
excellence is most strikingly observed, as il
dissolves and promptly removes the pseudo
