voice from glory said-pesce, be still,
That voice subdued its maddened will
AT last the turbid waters had spent their
fury, and the two top rails of the lonely
panel were visible. and Uncle Johns hody
was clear OF water to his knees, then at the
next flash the watchers see large man
wading toward them, leading horse.
Some times he would he wading to his arm
pits, and at other times he was only knee
deep, just as the rise and fall Of the road
would hold more or less of the now dying
current. When he came out, all Of the
Lees knew him. 1t was Samuel Dennis.
And now the porsly form of VIM. T. Lee is
seen wading down to the lonely panel where
Uncle John almost exhausted by this time,
is still clinging to the fence The powerful
athlete clutched the old man in his brawny
arms and bore him to safety as if he were
an infant
Mr. Dennis had been swept against a
cluster Of small trees, up against which
many fence rails and logs had formed Il
breakwater, which had saved Mr.. Dennis
and his horse from drowning. He had cut
his horse loose from the vehicle and had
kept his head above water, and both were
thus saved.
The next morning Uncle Johns horse
was found lying at the far side of the
meadow, he was tangled up by the bar
Mt IS, but otherwise he was unhurt.
But must tell my readers as to what
brought out this last story of Uncle Johns
thrilling adventure amid the angry waters
Of the Big Elk. 1t WAS the singing Of the
grand old hymn which the Rev. John Nc.
Elmoyle gave out at the last sad service
before Uncle John was taken to Cherry
Hill, to he consigned to his last resting
place, in the Methodist Cemetery at that
the song that our parents, grandparents
and great grand parents all sang 30 sweetly
in the old log meeting houses of yore,
when the glad halleluiah' went up to
Christ and always fetched him near his
people of old. 1t is this:
Jesus lover of my soul,
Let me to thy bosom fly
While the nearer waters Toll,
While the tempest still is high
Hide me, o my Saviour hide,
Till the storm of life is past;
Safe into the heaven guide,
o receive my soul at last.
Now is there any wonder that the ter
rible scene of twenty years ago came back
to the old scribe, and he again sees his dear
o'd friend cliDging to the lone panel of
fence so piteously asking the wonderous
king who died on calvary to save.

THE NIGHTMARE AFFLTcT1oN.
A Sensation That Makes towards of
lis All

(From the New Orleans Timcs- Democrat)
Strange that We are always SO cow
ardly in Nightmares" remarked a New
Orleans lawyer who has a taste for the
bizarre. 4 don't believe anybody ever
lived who stood up and made a square
stand against the amorphous horror that
invariably pursues us in such visions.
When | have a nightmare and the usual
NOR ster gets on my trail, my blood turns
to water, and my conduct would disgrace
a sheep. l am beside myself with stark,
downright fear. and haze no idea left in
my head except to run like rabbit. All
pride Self-respect, dread of ridicule. and
even instinct OF self-defence are scat
tered to the winds. and l believe hon
estly. l would be capable of any infamy
in order to escape. l have no hesitation
in confessing this. because as far as |
have been able to find out everybody acts
exactly the same way in the throes of
nightmare. and l feel certain l would not
make such a pitiable spectacle OF myself
in real life. no matter what might befall.
Il think that the explanation of the
nightmare panic is TO be found in the fact
that the dream is almost invariably ac-
companied by sense of suffoeatioH. 1t is
well established that ehoking-the shut
ting off of ones wind to use a homely
phrase-has an effect upon the mind which
is entirely distinct and different from that
produced by any other form of pain or
peril. 1t fills the victim with such hor-
ror and distraction that Re is for the mo-
ment insane He will do anything to get
relief This has been bro .aht out on more
than one occasion in the defence of men
who have been choked and killed their as
sailants, and judges have held that the cir,
cumstances of such an attack should be
given special consideration as extenuat-
ing the deed. In dreams the entire nerv-
Gus system is relaxed, and it is natural to
suppose that the mental effect of suffo-
cation would be intensified At least that
is the best apology l have to offer for my
sprints through nightmare land"
