Itcomes 10 the writer OF this paper as
a slgh--not sigh or pain or passion or
regret, but the sigh that the glorified

Heaven. IL i like a strain of sweet IN

rest. Whist does il mean? Who sighed
An. that IS the mystery.
A lady OF this city, we'll known and
whose word IS reliable, Is guided IN all
/ the perplexlng events OF lie by dreams.
A few years ago her mother died and
| within the year her father married
/ again. She was much troubled at TINS
| wantof respect 20 her mother smemory.
I and on the eve Of the sunday when
her father was 10 appear a church with
| his new bride she had remarkable
/ dream.
Il dreamed !" she said, 'that went
/ 10 church and saw my father there
/ with his new wife. / also IN my dream
saw my mother and her presence did
/ not seem IN any way unaccountable,
/ but 1t distressed me very much because
| | seemed to know that she was not
aware of my fathers hasty marriage.
| In my dream | waited inlpatlently for
/ the sermon to end, then / hurried out
/ and waited in the vestlbule for my
mother. AS she came out | stopped
| her and drew her hurriedly away,
while | communicated the news that a
new wife occupied her place. She
smiled d sweet seraphlc smile and said
! slowly:
~ know it. We know everything
where am, and nothing has power TO
| distress us
''The relief her words caused ME in
my dream produced reaction, which
awakened me, and no scene In real life
was ever more vivid than the one /

A lady who was guest at a Washing
ton hotel was awakened one night by
the 6oleful bowling of a dog. Not
being IN good health IT made her very
nervous, and she rang for the night
clerk and requested him to have the
animal driven away. But the dog re-
turned and howled worse than ever.
The lady again sent for the clerk and
inquired If any one In the house was
Ill, and was assured that there was nc
case of sickness there. The dog re-
turned when driven off, and howled al
intervals all night. The guests OF the
|
cided that the bowling meant nothing
as there was no one more than another
in prospect of immediate death. But
at noon of that day a tardy chamber
maid unlocked the door of the room
above that occupied by the lady II
question, and discovered that the younJ
man who occupied 1t was dead from
hemorrhage of the lungs. Apparently

We pooh-pooh these things as super
stitions, and say they are mere colnci
