The Male vision again disturbed him, and again he dismissed it as being ridiculous. The third time' however, a voice seemed to tell him that if he neglected the warning he would surely lose the bulk of his prod-nce. He therefore arose, dressed, and descended into the garden, and arrived in time to see the thieves leaving the ground loaded with sacks of hops. Another_ gentleman relates a startling episode which happened to him. At the in time he was in different health, and his physician had written him a preecription for some tonic medicine, which had from time to time been dispensed at a certain chemist's. , lir. B. had the medicine prepared as usual one night, but not requiring a dose until the following morning, he retired to rest, having placed the bottle upon the dressing-table. During the night he dreamt that some fearful calamity was impending, " and " said he, "I seemed to hear, but not with the outward ear, a beautiful prayer. It was not myself that prayed—the prayer was far beyond anything I am capable of composing. The voice supplicated that, for the sake et my widowed mother, the calamity might be averted." Wheh he awoke in the morning the whole was present to his mind, but he felt that some mitigation of the impending evil had taken place. Shortly he prepared to take his medecine but he noticed that the colour was slightly different from what it had usually been, and after hesitating in doubt, he took one tablespoonful instead of two as ordered.

The other put 7at the village inn. During the night e former dreamt that his friend appeared ict him and imploted him to render speedy assistance, as the landlord of the inn about to murder him for his money. The Mend, reflecting that "it was only a dream," neglected the summons. Shortly, the friend appeared once more, this time covered with blood and disfigured with wounds, and entreated the sleeper that since he had not rendered him any help, he would at all events avenge his death. He said that his villainous host had killed him and was about to secrete his body in a cart, preparatory to conveying it out of the neighbourhood. In great alarm, the friend arose and went to the inn, when he saw a cart identical with that which his companion had described, and, on making a search, the body of the murdered man was found in it, covered beneath some refuse.
