My Dream Last Night.
BY MRS. J. J. BAIL.
Dearest, I had a. dream last night—
I was dressad inrobes of splendid bright,
And words cannot picture the brilliant sight ;
No words can ever paint
The glory and bliss of that heavenly land,
The peaceful songs of the angel band
Who turn their harps on the coral strand,
For language is too faint. '
We met in a. fragrant shady grove,
,Whers the very breeze was s song of lovo,
For the air was peace in that waild above,
And the portals were truth and joy ;
And above us floated a form most fair,
With calm blue eyes and golden hair,
And the face that only angels wear—-
And we knew our long lost boy.
Dearest, there were loved and lost one: there,
And their brows were free from sin and care ,
But the glorious forms those dosi- ones bear,
My tongue can never tell.
But my spirit full the love and grace,
That binds the heart in soft embrace,
Of that divine and glorious race
That in those regions dwell.
I awoke with the first faint dawn of day,
And a little sinless form‘of clay
Soft breathing on my bosom lay ;
And I thought not strange my own,
That the angels came in the silent night,
With wings all bathed in heaven’s own light,
And scattered flowers of 'purest white,
Plucked by the holy throne.

Homeopathy.
Among the inventions and improve-
ments with which the day is so rife, that
made by Prof. Hunrniisvs is not among
the least. With all the superiority of
the Homeopathic system of medicine over
that of the old school in its freedom from
danger and the ease and pleasant-
ness with which its medicines may be ta-
ken or given to children, it still remained
an intricate system for the people to use.
From the fact that a. single medicine is
given at a dose and each applicable to
only certain symptoms, a. large number
of medicmes and a large book of direc-
tions become necessary to their use. And
what is worse, these directions are of the
most nice and discriminating character,
so that often the longer one looked and
studied the more puzzled he became, 1101'
could any amount of learned lumber in
the way of Domestic Manuals explain the
matter. ‘
At this precise point the discovery of -
Prof. Hummers comes in. He ascertain-
ed om repeated experiments what had
been before denied. that certain medicines
in this system might, be harmoniously
combined in a single remedy which pos-
sessed in good part the advantages of
each of its ingredients and upon this
principle forms a series of Specific Femo-
dies for each of the more common dis-
eases or ailments. .With these all uncer-
tainty and embarrassment in giving the
remedies is avoided, and may then be
properly administered by any person of
ordinary intelligence. His improvement
is certainly valuable and one which
throws the benefits of this beautiful and
efficient system into the hands of the peo-
ple, and must provea blessing to thous-
ands. His Specifics are spoken of in high
terms by those who use them, and we
can readily conceive must prove a valua-
ble addition to the comforts of a family.

CHAPTER 1.
Christmas, Kate O’Hara was the beauty
far away. I remember our little silence
of admiration as she came into the draw-
ing-robm just before dinner was announ-
ced (for your prime donna. does not care
to enter until the house is full,).and the
great sensation her arrival made, though
she could not have approached more qui-
etly or meekly if she had been the cat.—
Half-a-dozeu young ladies who, before her
advent, looked pretty enough, suddenly
pending number of bachelors and even
we married gentlemen paused awhile in
our talk of shorthorns to steal an admir-
ing glance. 'We had resumed our bovine
conversation, and were diverging if I re--
ineminr oright, in the direction of the
Prince Consort’s pigs, when my wife came
up to me and whispered :
3“ That’s little Kate O’Hara !”
Why did my cheek glow and my heart
'throbr?” Why did the name of one
whom I had not seen since she was a lit-

stokes,” in one of them was subsequently
pleased to designate the dreaming of
Love’s young dream ; and two of them—
a middy ,and an undergraduate—got
the start, and made the running at the
most reckless pace I ever saw. Indeed,-
the sailor proposed on the third evening,
and was declined with such good-natured
checrfuiness that he seemed to be rather
pleased than otherwise ; whereas the col-
legian, who was of a poetical turn, took
his refusal, the day following, very seri-
ously to- heart and passed the remaining
part of his visit in sorrow and the shrub-
beries. Two other competitors, unattach-
ed (except to Kate,) were disposed of at
an archery bull; and the race then lay
between Charley‘ Nor'thcote, captain of

soniest. face, and playing with a bullet
pendant from his watch-chain, but which
had previously resided in his leg, could
talk of the time “when I was in the
Crimea,” Philip had the more intellectual
expression, and had won at Oxford the
gate prize for English verse. Charley,
it is true, when we Were skating on the
lake, produced upon the ice such won-
drous “ eagles” as Audubon never dream-
Ed'Df ; but he was on the other hand, the
first to own when the frost broke up, that
“in; a really good thing with hounds,
there was not one of them could catch
the person.” For Philip, though he did
not hunt in his own parish, could “go
like a bird” out of it, whenever he could
get a mount. .
CHAPTER II.
On the night before our party separated
we had a grand performance of charodes
and, in the last of these, the Reverened
Mr. Lee had won immense applause as a.
ferocious captain of banditti, acting with
the greatest enthusiasm, and having com-
posed for himself,with the co-operation of
a cork, a pair ('noustachios, which ri-
valled Charley’s. We were to appear at
supper in our charade costumes, and were
waiting the announcement of that refoc-
tion, when I noticed an extraordinary
phenomenon which caused me instantly
and earnestly to whisper to Miss O’Hara
“ I have something to say to you. Come
at once.”
We passed unnoticed from the crowd-
ed drawing-room into the library, still
littered with our theatrical properties.—
Seizing a dagger, and assuming a charac-
teristic scowl (I'wss attired as a brig-
and’s assistant,) I bade her “ Listen 1”
And she (I see her now in' her pretty but
and cloak, for she had represented in our
last scene the young English countess
stopped by robbers,) ever ready for bur-

“ Say on,”
“ Twelve years ago, Catherine O’Hara
I wooed and won in the home of your
childhood the lady who is now my wife.
On a sweet summer’s eve [I told my love
sitting under on in min. and upon a. gar-
den-seat. the prOperty of your respected
sire. Hard by, you, then _a.- little child,
were swinging in a swing. Those some
long silken Irish lashes drooped over those
deep blue eyes, and we never dreamed
that you took note of us, scaling, in the
usual manner, our vows of mutual love.
Judge, then. how intense our agony, how
complete and awful our abasement, when
as we rejoined the festive throng for cof-
fee, you cried aloui’for all to hear :—
‘Oh, mammal those two did so kiss
each other; when I was swinging in the
elm 1’
For twelve years Kate O’Hara, the
memory of that humiliation has troubled
my indignant soul ; but, at last I am
avenged—look here !”
I held before her one of the hand look-
lug-glasses which lay on the table near,
and she was preparing to say something
in the dramatic style, as she snatched it
from me with the proud air of a tragedy
queen, when her eye caught the reflection
of her face, and in a moment that fair
countenance was blanched and pale, and
she stood,with her head dr00ping. speech-
less. For upon her lip, reader, she saw
as I had seen, the certain sign and trace
that in some obscure corner behind the
scenes, the race had been decided for the
“ O'Hara. Stokes,” and that Brigaml Lee
had won.
“ Kate,” I said, “ you cannot be vexed
with me, for I congratulate'yon with all
my heart. May you be as happy, dear
girl, with our friend the Robber, as “those
two” have been happy, whom you saw
“so kissing one another, from beneath
those silken lashes as you out swinging in
the elm.”—0'nce a. Week.

QUITMAN ox rm: STUMP.
“ When Gen. Quitman; glorious old
hero l—was candidate for the Governor-
ship of Mississippi,in opposition to Foote,
the present writer happened to see some-
thing of the canvass. At one point- in
the interior of the State, General Quit-
ruan was addressing a vast meeting, and
arousing all that wild enthusiasm which
he was so Well calculated to inspire in
the masses. He began‘ by saying that he
had come into that section a poor,friend-
less youth ; that he had met .the hand of
good fellowship, and been lifted by it
through the various grades of public po-
sition, he was deeply sensible .that he
owed to that people all that he hoped to
be; a lifetime devoted to their service
could never repaytliem. About this pe-
riod, a fellow directly in front of the stand
whose coon-skin cap and patchwork coat
of many colors proclaimed him to be a
mountaineer, burst forth with a loud
ell :—
‘ Gin’ral l you’re pnnkins l’
Considerably enlivened, the General
went on, ‘Gentlcmen ! when the tocsin
of war sounded over the land, I endeaw
ored to prove to the extent of my humble
capacity, not unworthy of your confi-
dence.
speak of self, but I think I may safely
say that the flag of Mississippi under my
guidance, was ever among the foremost
in danger and in victory l”
The fellow in the coon skin cap again
led the crowd in a shoot of tremendous
excitement. “ Giu‘ral you’re some pon-
kins l”
Quitman continued : ‘ The rush of
war is over, I return to you in the garb
of peace. I find you torn by political
agitations ; and my friends are kind
enough tosay that I can be of service
in this crisis. It so, I am willing and
anxious to serve. I have toiled unremit-
tingly ; I am ready to toil for you still.
You know the present issue and you know
my views. Therefore it is that I come
before you to day, asking to be made
Governor of' the State.”
' Coon skin could contain his emotions
no longer. With tears streaming from
his eyes, he dashed his cap on the ground
and exclaimed : ‘ Gineral, ef you ain’t
all punkins i an’ we’ve kept you working
for us all yer life, an’ it’s a shame, so it
is, I go in fur lettin’ you r‘est a little
bit now ; us’ so I’ll just role for the other
man ! '
The Generals speech came to _ an ab-
rupt termination ; and several persons
were heard to inquire' how that same
old coon had forced himself into the meet-
ing.”
* * * Apropos of political inci-
dents, we have the following shaky story
concerning
THE AGUE CANDIDATE.
Any of our readers who visited Indi-
anapolis during the Governship of Hon.
Jos. A. Wright, now the U. S. Minister
to Berlin, will have come away with a.
pretty good idea of open-hearted hospi-
tality. During the Governor’s two terms
in that office, he kept open house for all
comers, and was never more delighted
than when his house was full and his to;
ble crowded.
When at the expiration of the first
term, he was re-elected by a. large ma-
jority, great numbers of farmers from the
adjoining counties came into town with
their wives, and called upon him to con-
gratnlate him upon the favorable result
of a most arduous political contest. The
Governor had always been a favorite
with the ladies, and listened with peculi-
ar gratification to their congratulations.
Among others, one farmer‘s wife from
Morgan county, a noted fever and ague
district—was peculiarly happy in her
compliments.
“They needn’t run any man agin you,
Governor, down in our country, we be-
lieve in you—we do 1 You’re the right
man for such folks as we are.”
The Governor-,slightly embarrassed by
such eulogy, modestly stated his gratifi-
cation “ that ‘old Morgan should stick to
the Democratic party, and hoped be him-
self would always be found to act in ac-
?rdunce with its glorious principles,”
'c.
"That’s all right about the dimmy-
cratic party, and all that you know,’ was.
the response ; ‘ but we don’t care much
for the dimmycratic party doWn there
though. We're whigs, a good many on
us ; but we like sich a man as you be,
Governor, and whenever you run you’ll
get our votes.’ ,'
Still more embarrassed, the worthy
Governor mustered courage enough to
thank his Morgan friends and their
spokeswoman, and " trusted so'to fulfill
the duties of his ofiicc as to satisfy both
hl8‘Wlllg and democratic friends ;? prom-
ising to let no party or mere political
prejudice stand‘in the Way; The Gov-
ernor does. such a. thing neatly, and was
listened to in silence. But,
“ We don’t care nothin about party 01'
political matters, Governor,’ interrupted
the Morgan County lady ; ‘ we liaiu’t
no dependence on party or politics, but
we believe in you. You’re the man for
us ; you go ahead aii’ make your Indian

majority, down our way, pattyor 110 PM'

yFancy the Governors feeling when the
secret of-his strange popularity in Mor-
gan thus leaked out to be an impression
that he was the manufacturer of a patent
medicine—Wright’s Vegetable Pills-—
which the Morgan people had found a

A Squinting Jury.
The Washington News records the fol-
lowing amusing reminiscence :
“Once upon a time, or to be a little
more particular,.nearly half a century
ago, there dwelt in the town of , in
Old England, a remarkable oddity in
the person of an attorney at law, who
although not fair to look upon—for lie
was in truth one of the liomliest specimens
of humanity ever beheld by mortal man
-——Was withal a person of sound judge-
ment, great benevolence, varied learning
a poet, a painter and a. wit of' no mean
order. - ' -
It so happened that the aforesaid gen-
tleman, G G , Esq., was ap-
pointed High Sheriff of the town of
He was a man of fortune, and had a kind
heart, as many a poor prisoner could tes-
tify who partook of the good cheer with
which the prisoners Were liberally sup-
plied at Christmus'and other well known
festivals from the private house of the
High Sheriff.
It was of course the duty of the High
Sheriff to.snmmon a Grand and Petit
Jury to attend at the Quarter Sessions,
of which the Recorder, Mayor and Alder-
men of the borough composed the court.
‘In the performance of his official duty in
summoning the Petit Jury, our High
Sheriff indulged in some of the strangest
and drollest freaks that have probably
ever been heard of in any town or coun-
try. In the first place he summoned for
the October Court a. jury consisting of
twelve of tho fattest men he could find in
the borough, and when they came to the
book to be sworn, it appeared that only
nine jurors could Sit comfortably in the
box. After a good deal of sweating,
squeezing and scolding, the panel was
literally jammed into the box, and when
seated they presented to the eye of the
court, the barristers, and audience, ” the
tightest. fit” of a jury that was ever seen
in a court room. Literally they became,
much to the amusement ot' the court and
its robed advocates, a. “picked jury,”
and no mistake.
For the January term, our fagetious
High Sheriff—in consequence, it is said,
of some hint from the Recorder that there
should be no more fat panels summoned
to his court—went to the opposite ex-
treme. He summoned twelve ofthe lean-
est and tallest men he could find in'the
borough ; and when they took their seats
in the box it appeared comparatively
empty—there wasindccd room enough
for twelve more of the same sort and
dimensions.
For the April term of' the court, our
humorous functionary summoned a jury
consisting of tivelve harbors. Now it
happened that among the latter were the
very perriquers who dressed the Recor-
der’s and barrister’s wigs, and some of
the latter arriving late at the bar, that
morning came in' court with wigs undress-
ed, 30 as to cut a very‘ridicnlous figure,
amid‘the smiles and half snppressui
laughter of the bystanders. . The High
Sheriff enjoyed the fun amazingly, but
ooked grave as a “judge,” when~lie
tried to keep silence in the court room.
But the crowning joke of’ this waggish
fnuctionary occurred at the summoning
of his fourth and last jury, at the summer
sessions in July. For that term of the
court, the High Sheriff, not having the
fear of the Recorder, the Mayor and
Aldermen before his eyes, actually sum-
moned a squinting jury ; twelve as queer
looking bipeds as ever took their seats in
jury box—a jury that was probably
more looked at and laughted at than any
of the appointed twelve that were ever
sworn to “ well and truly try, and true
deliverance make between their Soverign
Lord and the King and the prisoner of
the bar.”
But the scene was so irresistably droil
that the learned Recorder could not
maintain his gravity. The Mayor and-
Aidermen followed suit. ‘The barristers
laughed while their wigs became bald,
powerless ; nay, even the poor prisoners
in the dock, who were to be pht upon
their trial, and some of them undergo
transportation, could not refrain from
joining in the general cachination. And
when the learned Recorder. commanded
the High Sheriff to bring the court room
to order, and intimated with a. half sup-
pressed laugh, that the latter ought to
be ashamed of himself for summoning snag
a jury, the drollery of this court seen
was considerably heightened by the quick
ready, and sonorous response of theth
Sli'erifi', who, looking at the squinting
jury, exclaimed—”Ail good and lawful
men, your honor.”
' But our humorous reactionary has long
since “shuffled off his mortal coil.”

IQ‘F The Pittsburgh Dispatch says that
thu Thomas Cunningham, Esq., of Bea-
ver, went to Kansas, under an appoint~
ment as U. S. Judge, in passing through
a settlement he met with old Ossawato-
inie Brown, who had just arrived with
half a dozen Pro Slavery prisoners, cap-
tured while in .arms to assail the Free-
State settlers. Among them were sever-
ral slave holders, who Were discharged
by Brown, (as Gov. ‘Wise promised to
discharge Gerrit Smith,) with a. lecture,
as poor ignorant devils, who knew no
better ; then turning to the Northern
men with Southern priné’iples, lie remark-
ed : “ As for you fellows, who ought to
know better, having been brought up in
the Free North, I must. ask the Lord
what I shall do with you l” Whercupou
the stern old man commenced praying to
the Almighty, asking his aid that he
might so dispose of these prisoners as to
best promote the Free State cause, &c.,
in the midst of' which Judge Cunningham
after vain attempts at restraining it, burst
'into a fit of laughter. In a moment
Brown ceased praying, and turning his
piercing eyes upon the offender, remarked
“ And it' you don’t stop laughing, I shall
dispose of you, sir without asking the Lord
anything about it I” It is unnecessary‘to
say that the honorable Court resumed its
accustomed grave demeanor, and that the
subsequent proceedings of John Brown’s
drum-head court martial were marked
with no levity so far as Judge Cunning-
ham was concerned.

“ THE LITTLE FAIRY," Miss DOLLIE
Demon—There is a little girl in Boston!
“ I should think there might be, quite a
number,” exclaims some reader. Well,
but there is a. little girl in Boston, and
we don’t suppose in the whole World there
can be found another of the same age, as
tiny and cunning with such a~-comical
little face and hands, and'body, We
wish all our readers could see her. ' How-
ever, f'or the entertainment of those who
cannot, we give the following description
in a pleasan letter from a lady :-—-a
. “ My young friends, no doubt you have
heard and read about ‘The Little.Fairy,’
Miss Dollie Dutton, probably the smallest
person in the world of her age. I really
wish I could let you see her portrait, not
larger than a doll. She is a. real living
doll. Yes, and this beautiful little crea-
ture, she is worth more than a thousand
wax dolls. What a. charming little crea-
ture she is and how beautiful i ~ What a
little angelic form 1 She attracted forty
thousand persons to see her in Bostou.—.
Dollie was born in Framingham, Middle-
sex county, Massachusetts, and. at the
time of her birth weighed only three
pounds What a dear little baby she
was l Can you imagine a. beautiful, fine-
ly formed little babe,weighing only three
pounds This little newcomer attracted
the attention of the whole neighborhood,
and soon the ladies, little boys and girls,
fathers and grandparents, came flocking
in to'see the little—the very- little baby.
One day, when alarge number'ot'persons
were present,Mrs.Davis,the annt',‘_‘wishing
to show how extremely small the baby was
placed her in a sugar bowi,& thatnponthe
table, causing great mirth and laughter
among the little folks that were'looking.
W'ell, Dollie is now,-in 1859, nine years
old, weighs thirteen pounds,andis_-twenty
six inches high. If you are nine years
old, do you think thatyon are five or six
times as heavy as little Dollie Duttonis?
‘ Oh i what a. dear little girl she is?’
all who see her say. ‘ And nine years
old—we can hardly believe our eyes—4
how very small.”
One little girl, viewing Dollie sitting
in her little chair says :—‘Ma,-ma, do tell
me. can she talk ? Is she alive‘?’ ‘ Oh,
yes dear,’ the mother replied ; " we shall
see presently.’ ‘
“ It was not long before Dollie arose
from her little chair, walked forward and
spoke a beautiful little piece about Anna’s
chickens; and than the little boys and
girls stamped their feet and clapped their
hands for joy to see and hear so small a.
little orator. ,
“ I must tell you another interesting
little story about this little fairy sister.—
Soon after the birth of Dollie a gentle-
man and lady residing in Boston, hearing
of the wonderful little ‘girl, 'and feeling
anxious to see her went to the house of
Mr. Button, in Framingham, to see her.
After having seen Dollie,and nearly ready
to depart unnoticed, the lady placed
Dollie, in her husband’s hat, and then
walked towards the door, inviting her
husband to accompany her. Upon pick-
ing up his hat, he found Dollie finely hid
away in its crown.
We said this little fairy is worth more
that a thousand wax dolls. Yes, for little
Dollie has a soul that will live forever.—
We hope this precious little one will ever
be surrounded by those who will cai‘fully
watch for her soul, as those who must
give an account—teaching her to rever-
ence God’s holy name and word, and day
and to love that door Savior who said,
‘Sufl'er little children to come, unto me.’
May she with all good children, at. last,
in that bright world above, be folded in
his blessed arms, and carried in his bo-
50m.”
We hope all our friends may have the
pleasure of seeing “ ’l‘ns errLii: FAIRY.”

THE TRANSFIGL'RATION or MEMORY: In
Mrs. Stowe’s new novel of “The Mini!-
ter’s Wooing,” the following beautiful
passage occurs : . ‘ ~
“As there Was an hour when the 'fish-
erman of Gollilee saw their Masterti'ans-
figured, his raiment white and his face
like the light, so are there hours when
our whole mortal life stands .forth in ce-
lestial radiance. From our daily lot falls
off every weed of care, from our heart
friends every speck and stain of earthly
infirmity. . Our horizon widens, and blue,
amethyst, and gold, touch every object.—
Absent friends and friends gone on the
last. journey stand once more _ together
bright with an immortal glow, and, like
disciples who saw their Master floating
in the clouds above them, we say, ‘Lord,
it is good to be here 1’ How fair the
wife, the husband, the absent mother, the
gray-haired father, the manly.son, the
bright-eyed daughter ! Seen in the oc-
tnal present, all have some fault, some
flaw ; but absent, We see them in their
permanent and better selves. Of our dis-
tanthome we remember not a dark day,not
one serviie care, nothing but the echo of
its holy hymns, and the radiance of its
bright days—of our father not one hasty
Word, but only the fullness of. his manly
vigor and noble tenderness—of our moth-
or nothing of mortal weakness, but a
gloried form of love—0f our brother, not
one teasing provoking word of brotherly
freedom, but the proud beauty of his no- '
bloat hours—of our sister, our child, only
what is fairest and sweetest.”

EARLY EXERCISE—Dr. Hall, in, his
Journal of Health, very decidedly con-
demns the practice of taking out-door
exercise early in the morning, and with
an empty stomach, The reason he gives
for this opinion is, that the malaria. which
rests on the earth about sunrise insom-
iner, when taken into the lungs and atom-
ach, which are equally debilitated with
other portions of the body from the long
fast since supper, is readily absorbed, and
enters the Circulation within an hour or
two, poisoning the blood and laying the
foundation for troublesome diseases ;
while in winter the same debilitated con.
dition of these vital organs readily allows
the blood to be chilled, and thus renders
the system susceptible of taking cold, with
all its varied and too often disastrous
results.
