THE DREAMS.

Two dreams came down to earth one
night
From the realm Of mist and dew;
One was a dream of the old. old days.
And one was a dream of the new.
One was dream of shady lane
That led TO the pickerel pond.
Where the. willows and PUSHES bowed
themselves
To the brown old hills beyond.
And the people that peopied the old-time
dream
Were pleasant and fair to see.
And the. dreamer he walked with them
again
AS often of old walked he.
Oh cool was the wind in the shady lane
That tangled his curly hair!
Oh sweet was the music the robins made
To the springtime everywhere!
Was II the dew the dream had brought
From yonder midnight skies.
Or was II tears from the dear dead years.
That lay in the dreamer's eyes?
The other dream ran fast and free,
As the moon benignly shed
Her golden grace on the smiling faco
In the little trundle bed.
For twas a dream of times TO come.
OF the glorious noon OF day.
when the child is done with play.
And twas a dream of the busy world
Where valorous deeds are done:
OF battles fought In the cause of right,
And of victories nobly won.
It breathed no breath of the dear old
home
And the quiet joys of youth:
II gave no glimpse Of the good old friends
or the oid-tlrne faith and truth.
But twas dream of youthful hopes.
And fast and free ii ran.
And IL told to little sleeping child
OF boy become man.
These were the dreams that came one
night
To earth from yonder sky:
These Were the dreams two treamers
dreamed. =
Ny little boy and I.
And in our hearts NY boy and
Were glad that II was so:
He loved 20 dream of days to come,
And OF long ago.
So from our dreams my boy and
Inwillingiy awoke.
But neither Of his precious dream
Unto the other spoke.
Yet OF the love we bore. those dreams
Gave each his tender sign;
For there was triumph in his eyes,
And there were tears in mine.

The ExiIed King of Dahomey,

London Dally News.
That interesting king in exile, Benhan-
gin OF Dahomey. seems TO accommodate
himself fairly well. by ali accounts, TO cir
cunstances in his enforced residence at
Fort de France, In the French possession
of Martinique. A traveller who visited
him only the other day describes him as
having been surrounded by his wives and
daughters. according to the etiquette OF
his country. He stood in the high road,
and was about to return to his quarters.
In answer TO a salutation from his visitor
the black monarch made profound bow.
Up to the present time, IL seems. he has
learned very little of the language OF his
captors. He knows only dozen words or
so of French However. he contrived TO
convey the information that he considered
the surrounding country very pretty, and
that he and his suite were in good health
and spirits. He is extremely fond of Eu-
ropean music. and never neglects an OPP
portunity of listening to the band OF the
French marines. The road TO his resi-
dence is a steep one. and covered with
loose stones. 1t is about twenty minutes
walk from the harbor, where a French
man-of-war. the Duquesne. is stationed.

vANDERBILT's NEW VILLA.
A Gorgeous Palace With Few Equals
on Earth.
Newport Cor. New York Press.

Newport Cor. New York Press.
After having ransacked Europe in
search of costly furnishings for their
new villa here, Mr. and Mrs. Cornelius
Vanderbilt returned to this country this
week and visited Newport Thursday. In
their absence they found their house had
developed into palace without an equal
on earth as a. private summer residence.
1t far exceeds in cost and beauty the mar
BILE house of Mrs willie" Vanderbilt,
which this society queen was led to be.
lieve would long remain without a peer.
The shell is Indiana limestone. In
stead of piazzas there are great broad ter
races. The structure is much the larg-
est in Newport, and consists of three sec
lions, a square mid-house and a wing on
each side The carvings outside were
executed by Karl Bitter. who did the
worlds fair statue of the republic. The
designs are partially nude figures, hold
ing laurel wreaths and flowers, and have
just been made quite famous by Mrs.
Vanderbilt having ordered their busts re-
duced, because she regarded them as
slightly immodest. She denies this mo-
tive, however.
The interior of the house presents some
wonderful creations in the line of decora-
ton The best of the old worlds artists
have been mere OOlnS lnlS NOTh, ana as
one stands overawed at the astonishing
display of matches art he cannot help
but think that only an expenditure of
many thousands of dollars could have
brought together so lavish collection of
all that is costly and beautiful.
The house is entered from the west. The
vestibule is semi-circular, and beyond ex-
tends the great hall, reaching upward
clear to the very roof Many great balls
will doubtless take place here, for il is
we'll adapted to any such fete Entirely
around the second story is a great gallery
with an exquisitely carved and modelled
balustrade. The stairway opposite the
door, is most imposing in its lavish ele-
gance The general decoration is onyx
italian marble and dark mosaics The
scene painter has also delicately intro
duced his art.
Great doors open from the hall, to the
right to the left before one. The draw
ing room is directly to the left, occupying
ali OF the north wing of the house. 1t is
closed as yet to the view of any save
few, and probably will not be ready for
use next summer. Its general finish will
be white and gold, and its walls are TO be
hung with the celebrated Vanderbilt tap
estries.
The dining room is along the cliff side of
the house It's windows are high and
arched, and to all practical purposes they
are doors opening to the terrace overlook
ing the ocean The hight of the dining
room Is two stories of the house proper,
this altitude aiding to mHrked degree the
