The flowers we brought a year ago,
With grateful hands to spread

To dress the soldiers grave.
Her fairy finger, weave hi. .hroud

And steal from yonder passing cloud
Dew pearls to slip between.

Some Remarkable Dreams.

What are our dreams? Are they the
idle fancy of passing moment, time
when the Imagination takes the reins while
will, reason and judgment sleep, or do
they in = mysterious way give us glimpses
of some remote pre-existence or of some
future event2 Probably there are almost
as many answers to this question as there
are peIson in the world and few records
of personal experience are more fascinat-
ing to the general public than those relat-
ing to dreams.
Hon. Horatio King, the famous Maine
statesman. contributes an interesting chap
ter to the literature on this subject in the
May number of the Neic England Maga-
zine. Besides recalling many strange aud
well-authenticated dreams referred to by
different writers, he gives many that may
be considered As personal "reminiscences.
One of the strange things about dreams
that he mentions is the fact that they of
ten appear TO be occasioned by Impressions
made upon the brain many years before.
and in this connection he speaks of two
matters in respect to which he never eX-
poets to cease from dreaming.
The one which most disturbs him is that
of printing, and though he quit that bust
ness over half a century ago hardly month
since has passed in which he has not
dreamed about 1t. His experience in this
business was a trying one. 1t began be-
fore he was 10 and lasted about eight,
years, and he was the publisher and for six
of these years the editor of weekly news
paper at Paris, Maine Not only was the
labor severe but he also encountered sio-
lent opposition from a section of his own
political party which sought by most un-
fair means, To crush him. In his dreams
he always goes over those same eXpe-
rlcnCc-, and whereas in reality he invaria-
ply got his paper out On time, In his dreams
ht always fail, To get the type set in sea
son, the forms are pied Or something else
goc, wrong The other dream relates to
his life III the po>tofiiCe department, where
the fear that he has overstaid his time
when absent on leave, or in some other
way ha, failed TO do his duty haunts him
in Sleep. Evidently these two experiences
We're the hardest and most trying time, of
his life
AS for dreams forcte,ting future events,
Mr. King say, he takes little note of and
gives les heed to his owu dream faucte~.
But one of hIs experiences was TO say the
HAST remarkable, Years before the war
dream occurred 70 him. not once only but
several times and each time more aud more
yividly. lie thought he saw two armies
engaged in deadly combat and was himself
in immlucn: danger in h> own home. The
country wa> then al peace aud he asked
himself If it were possible that We were to
have another war with Great Britain. Such
thing as civil war never occurred to
his mind. No wonder he asks: Was

"A sober life" according TO an eminent
author, "implics moderation in all things.
1t consists in moderate eating, in moder
ate drinking, and in the moderate enjoy
ment of ali the pleasures of this world
in keeping the mind moderately and con-
stantly employed, in cultivating the atfec-
tions moderately, in avoiding extremes of
heat and cold, and in stunning excessive
excitement, either of body or of mind"
