/ ascribe the character of my
dreams to my inherited
love for the sea. That they shoul
relate to far distant continent
beyond the wide vast of water
resulted from the ever recurring
visions of undiscovered regions t
my mind. The numerous islands
detting our beautiful archipela
go, suggested to my mind the
conviction that in the vast unex-
plored deep lay other islands, OF
perhaps continents which in some
future age would be revealed to
the prying eye of discovery. The
art of navigation, now little I'M
derstood, would reopen into per-
fection, and the unexplored exist
ing wilderness of the seas would
rejoice in sustaining, on It's very
CLASSY bosom, fleet of ships link
ing the whole earth in bonds OF
0mity and commerce. This solu-
ton of my dreams concerning
the distant continents satifled me
but why on that continent should
l ever meet with the same beau
tiful creature, is still inexpllca-
BILE. l am impelled by sense OF
the singular character of there
dreams to relate them, and parti-
cularly as / am induced to be-
Heye that they are the Sha adowS

of "a fine morning. | fell asleep
in my bark on the lulled sea,
and dreamed that it was trans
formed into large vessel, load
ed with a crew of sailors, and
that | commanded it. Impressed
with the conviction that in the
vast ocean there were unknown,
islands, or, prhaps, continents
We were plonghing the unexplor
ed deep, where no ship had be-
fore ever ventured Months, it
seemed, had passed away in our
voyage, and no sign or trace of
land could be seen. Depression
had siezed the crew, and de6pOnd
ency was taking possession of my
own bosom, when suddenly the
whole crew raised loud shout
Land, land, land, land ahead.
The loud shouting and rejoic-
ing awoke me, and ! found it was
all a dream. | returned to my a.
partment on the island, and re-
garded myd cram as the effect
