In 1.-THE Story of My Life" by Mr..
Augustus J. G. Hare, are told the follow
ing dream stories: When staying at
Ravensworth castle in November, 1876,
General Stanhope, talking of dreams,
said:
Lady Andover, who was the daughter
of Lord Leicester, was with her husband
at Holkham, and when one day all the
other men were going out shooting she
piteously implored him not TO go, saying
that she had dreamed wildly that be
would be shot If be went out. She was
so terribly eager about 1t that he acceded
to her wishes and remained with her In
the painting room, for she painted beau
tifully In oils, and was copying a picture
of the 'Misers' which was at Holkham.
But the afternoon was excessively beauti-
full, and Lady Andover's strong impress
sion, which had been so vivid IN the morn
ing, then seemed to wear off, till at last
she said; Well, really, perhaps / have
been selfish In keeping you from what you
like so much because OF my own impress
sions; so now, If you care about going out,
don't let me keep you in any longer And
he said: We'll, if you don't mind, l should
certainly like to CO. and he went he
had not been gone long before Lady An
dover's impressions returned just as WV
idly as ever, and she rushed up stairs and
put on her bonnet and pursued him. But,
as she crossed the park, she met her hus-

out his coat Don't tell me- she said at
once. I know what has happened and
she went back and locked herself into her
room His servant was handing him
gun through hedge, it went off, and he
was killed upon the spot"
While in Rome in 1870 Mr.. Hare heard
the following dream story:
Lady Vernon dreamed that she saw
the butler, with knife in one hand and
candle in the other, crossing the entrance
hall, and she awoke with great start.
After awhile she composed herself to
sleep again, and she dreamed-she dream
ed that she saw the butler, with knife
In one hand and a candle in the other, on
the middle of the staircase, and she awoke
with a great shock. She got up; she
thought she could not be quite well, and
she took little sal volatile. At last she
fell asleep again, and she dreamed-she
dreamed that she saw the butler, with
knife in one hand and a candle In the
other, standing at her bedroom door, and
she awoke in a great terror, and she
jumped out of bed, and she said, "Tn
have an end of this; I'll have an end of
these foolish imaginations," and she
rushed to the door, and she threw the
door wide open. And there at the door
stood the butler, with knife In one hand
and candle in the other. And when he
suddenly saw Lady Vernon in her white
nightdress, with her hair streaming down
her back, he was so dreadfully frightened
that he dropped the candle on the floor
and rushed off down the staircase and of
to the stables, where there was horse
ready saddled and bridled, on which he
meant to have ridden away when he had
murdered Lady Vernon. And he rode
away without ever having murdered her
at all, and he was never, never, never
heard of again.
Lord Denbigh sent the following story
to Mr.. Hare Of a supernatural vision
which he had heard from Henry Malet
in 1869: In the winter Of 1654-5 Malet
was in Paris and saw a good deal Of
Palgrave Simpson, the dramatic author.
pressed himself believer In clairvoyant
phenomena. A few days afterward Ma
let received an order to return to London
and hold himself in readiness to embark
for the Crimea with his regiment. On
the night before his departure for Malta
he received a note from Simpson inclos-
ing an antique ring. The note saidi ''Do
not laugh at me, but while you are In the
CrImea wear the inclosed ring. It was
given to me by the last representative of
an old Hungarian family on her death
bed. In her family 1t was an heirloom
and considered as a most precious tails
man to preserve the wearer from any
external harm" Malet slipped the ring
on his finger without attaching any great
importance to the matter and the next
morning sailed from Portsmouth. We
will let him tell the remainder OF the
story:

not till our arrival at Malta that heard

from my mother dated from Frankfort on
the very day of our sailing from England.

about you, and could find no comfort any

extraordinary reason. This morning as
