A little life clos‘ed,
A life God-given;
A little bird flown
Homeward to heaven.
A white lamb lifted
Up to his breast;
A sweet flower gathered
To his heart pressed.
Gentle eyes searching
To meet his face';
A little voice raised
Tosing his praise.
Little feet standing

Little hands reaching
To help us home.
Dear little darling,

The following Report was read at the
American Institute Farmers Club, New York,
April 3d, 1877.
To the gentlemen of the Farmers’ Club:
Your committee, appointed to examine the
article named Crystalized Egg, manufactured
by the United States Egg Desicating CO., and
to report suchzinforination relative to it as may
be of interest to the club, respectfully sub-
mit the following : ' '
The factory for treating the eggs which
yield this product is located at at St. Louis,
M0. The processes practiced, and machinery
ciiiployed,'are the invention of M. Lcinont,
who has obtained several patents Of the Uni-
ted States for them, and experienced the
usual trials of patience, perseverance and ex-
penditure of money necessary to develop and
introduce to the public a new invention or
discovery. The main or leading features of
the processes are that the eggs employed
must be fresh, each examined, and in batches
of ten barrels in bulk, placed in what is call-
ed the “cracking machine.” _ This breaks and
separates the shells from the white and yolk '
of the eggs, triturates the two latter,
. strains the mixture and passes it to the crys-
talizing machine, which consists of an enam-
eled receptacle in which revolves vertically a
porcelain disk, about four feet in diameter,
and one inch in thickness, making forty rev-
olutions a minute. The albumen adheres to
the sides of the porcelain disk sufficiently to
be carried by it within layers or strata, cov-
ering each side. On each side .of the disk is a
bracker’madc of hard wood faced with steel
which separates the coatings of the eggs,
which have become thoroughly dried by a
continuous current of warm air at atcmpcra-
ture of 90 3 Fahrenheit, forced over the sur-
face of the disk. The current of air also
carries the detached particles forward to a
receptacle provided for their collection. From
this the crystal-like grains are removed and
placed in barrels or boxes and forwarded to
‘ their market.
The inventor has recently foundttliat the
large disks necessary may be made of slate
which answer the purposes equally as well as
porcelain at about one-twentieth the cost.
This it will be Observed is of no inconsider-
able importance at the commencement of a
new manufacture, when it is known that
there are one hundred of these disks at the
St. Louis works, and that they cost about two
hundred dollars each making for one hun-
dred, twenty thousand dollars, while the late
disks amount to about one thousand dollars.
The operations of the- process are Wholly
manual and mechanical ; no chemicals, salts,
or ingredients whatever are employed. The
' process consisting solely in forming a homoge-
neous mixture of the yolk and white of the
egg, and the removal of the water portion,
leaving the albumen and natural constituents
of the egg in a dry condition. The name
crystallized egg has been given to the product
not wholly inappropriately, as it resembles a
collection of small amber colored crystals to
the unassisted eye, the geOmctrical- forms of
the particles not being observed. Albumen
when dried is reduced in weight from one
hundred parts to from 10.5 to 14.5. When
burnt the ash resulting is about 25 per cent.-
Natural albumen coagulates at 159 ° Fania,
and is then insoluble in water. The yolk of
the egg contains a larger proportion of sul-
phur than the white, and it may be passingly
remarked that albumen, whether it be of an-
imal or vegetable~ origin always contains sul-
phur. The 'use of albumen of eggs is not
confined to the preparation of the various
articles of food, but it is largely employed in
the industrial arts. Of these may be men-
tioned the calico print works; and the pho-
tographers art which consumes no insignifi-
cant quantity annually for albumizing the
paper on which he chemically prints. Albu-
men prepared as by the processes of Mr.
Ler‘nont, freed from moisture, is not subject
to decay rancidity, souring, or any of the
changes which might at first seem natural.
The committee have examined samples which
have been prepared several years, and also
two barrels of the product which have been
carried to China and returned for the purpose
of ascertaining the influences of the voyage,
if any, upon it, with reference to ship-
ping it in quantities. No obvious or palpa-
ble change has taken place in the samples.
When it is called to mind,in connection with
the subject, that geletin. is the nearest sub-
stance in character to albumen with which
we are acquainted, and that it has been pre-
pared and dried in large quantities for many
years constituting an article of great value
to commerce; and that it may be and is kept
fer years exposed to every kind of atmos-
pherical condition without deterioration in
quality, it would be naturally expected.that
albumen in a similar state would deport itself
- in alike manner.
New York office of the company, its store
house and the laboratory for experimentally
and practically exhibiting the qualities of the
crystalized egg. On entering the store-house
_ rows of barrels displayed the crystal-like
particles sparkling in the light as we passed
them to the laboratory. This consists of the
appointments of a hotel kitchen. The Oper-
ations of heating the crystal egg, preparatory
to the changes which it was soon to undergo
through the skill of the young man who oili-
ciated as baker, were in active progress.
These having been witnessed and examined
and the cooking and baking completed, the
committee adjourned to another apartment,
and when seated at a table where the prepar-_
ed samples had been placed whilc' hot, com-
menced a very important part of the investi-
gation, and in several senses the 'most tiying'
ordeal to which the products will be submit-
ted. On the table were arranged the follow-
ing samples: Omelets, custards, custard pies,
lemon custard pics, cream puffs, jelly cakes,
jumbies, vanilla biscuits, drop cakes, lunch
cakes, muffins, wine cakes, lemon snaps, and
afiee which had been'clarifiedtby adding the
crystalized egg before dccoction. , The quali-
y of each article were the best, and in the
opinion of the committee the crystallized egg,
when properly used, will not be distinguished
from that directly from the shell; .and the
mpression that there is a difference, if such
has or shall occur, will depend upon an exer-
‘ cise of the imagination. Sufficient quantity
_ of the articles prepared were consumed to
enable the committee to judge of thc'physi.
cal effects of the product after digestion.
These trials have proved" satisfactory in every
particular. It may be stated here that the
factory at St. Louis is open for the inspection
of those who may wish to witness the pro-
cesses. Cleanliness is specially provided for,
and an improper egg would be detected by

‘which they are otherwise deprived. The
public are provided at a reduced cost with

those who economize through necessity it is
an especial boon. -

“L0” as a Jockey.
The following amusing extract is from the
new book entitled “The Wigwam and War-
path,” by A. _B. Meachani, giving his obser-
vations while superintendent of Indian affairs
in Oregon : .
Umatilla is known to be a great country
for horses. I doubt if anywhere on the
continent there can be found horses of great-
er speed or powers of endurance. How-lish-
wam-po, chief of the Cayuse (Kinse), is
owner Of several thousand horses. He isa
stout-built man, has a dark complcction,
wears his hair just clear of his shoulders, and
is now past middle age.
Several parties had visited Umatilla, bring-
ing with them men and boys to drive home
the, herds of Indian horses they were “going
to win.”
Joe Crabb, the OWncr of an imported horse,
had been present at a race some months pre-
vious, when How-lish wam-po had permit-
ted his horse to be beaten ; and as he measur-
ed the distance, marked the time, and sub-
sequently tested the speed of his horse with
the winner on that Occasion, 'he,of course,had
a “dead” thing. .
The. white men came with groom and
riders, making a» camp near the Indian,
standing guard over his own horse to prevent
accident.
The Indians were not so careful of their
horse ; at least J 00' Crabb thought they were
not, and, since everything is fair in gambling
as in war, he concluded to know for himself
how the Speed of the two horses would com-
pare. ‘ ' °
There is a general belief that Indians sleep
when their eyes are open, and especially just
before daylight, and sending a careful,trusty
man to get the Indian horse, leaving another
in hisplace, he led his own out on the prairie,
and made a few trials of speed with the two.
The result was satisfactory. He found that
his horse was able to distance the other.
When the morning agreed upon arrived, the
grounds leading to the valley of Umatilla
gave full proof of the interest the people of
the surrounding country had in this impor-
tant affair. .
As the starting hour approached, two
judges were elected—one white man and one
Indian. But two are required, since the
horses run out, turn the stake and come
back to the Starting-point. The first horse to
get home is the winner. No account is made
of the. start, each party depending on his
shrewdness to get the better in this part of
the race.
The prevailing idea that Indians are al-
ways cool and stoical is not correct. They
become very much excited at horse races,
While the preliminaries are being arranged
they are serious, even solemn-looking fel-
lows, and with great dignity come up with
the money to bet. “Capable of dissembling,”
I should think they were from the cool face
of Hw-lish-wam-po, when the money is
being counted out by the hundreds, in twen
ty dollar gold pieces—not a few, but hand-
fuls of twenties. One could 'not have de-
tected tlie'slightest twinkle in his eye or
other sign that Joe Crabb had §tolen his
horse and run him secretly. Cool, calm,
earnest, as if' he were saying mass, this
chicftain came up and handed over his
money to the stakeholder, while numerous
bets were being arranged between the other
Indians and white men. Horses were wager-
ed, and tied together and led away. Many a
fellow had brought extras with him for the
express purpose of gambling, expecting of
course to take home twice the number in the
evening. - _
Crabb had confided his secret about his
stolen run to a few friends, and advised them
to go in and win all the horses they wanted.
There was no danger.; he knew what he was
talking about. He had the Indian’s horse’s
speed by time and also by trial. ‘
The trick that Crabb had played was final-
ly known to How-lish-wam-po. He and his
people were cooled down and seemed anXious
to have the race come off before more betting
was done. _
This made the white men more anxious,
and they urged, boasted and ridiculed, until
in manifest desperation, the Indians begun to
bet again, and the noble white man generous-
ly took advantage of the Indian’s hot blood,
and forced him to make many bets that he
appeared to shun .
The horses were brought out to start, and
while the imported horse of 'Crabb‘s looked
every inch a racer, the other stood with head
down, a rough, hard, uncouth brute, that up.-
peared then to be a cross between ex and
horse. ' .
The sleepy-looking Indian horse stood un-
moved, uncovered,'ivithout saddle or bridle
or anything, save a small hay-rope on the
lower jaw, his mane and tail unkempt, his
coat rough and ill-looking.
On his right Side stood a. little Indian boy,
with head close Shaved, a blanket around
him, and to all appearances unconsciousthat
anything unusual was expected;
The other rider’s horse was making furi-
ous plunges to get away . -
How-lish-wam-po was in no hurry, really ;
indeed things were going very much to' the
satisfaction of that distinguished individual.
He was willing to see the other man’s
horse chafc and'fre't—the more the better ;
and he cared nothing for the sponge that
was used to moisten thgmouth of- the great
racer.
Look away down the long line of white
men andfiidians, and ,on the low hill above,
see the crowd eager to witness the first jump.
; The chief gives a quiet signal to the Indian
boy. The blanket dropped from the boy’s
shoulders, and a yellow-skinned, gaunt-look-
ing sprite bestrode the Indian horse, holding
in his left hand the hair rope that was to
serve him for a bridle, and in his right a
small bundle of dried willows.
Presto ! The stupid looking, brute is in-
stantly transformed into a beautiful animated
racer. Hiseyes seemed almost human. Ilis
ears did not droop now, but by their quick,
alternate motion, giving signs of readiness,
together with the stamping of his feet, Slow-
ly at first, but faster and more impatiently
the momentit was intimated he might go ;
and the other was making repeated efforts to
escape, his ma'ster’s manoeuvering for the
advantage. ,
The little Indian boy managed his horse
alone as the chief gave quiet signs. Three
times had they come up to the scratch with-
out a start. Crabb seemed not very solicit-
ous about the race. I think probably, be
had by this time found the ~ “hornet in his
hat ;” at all events, he was pale, and his rider
exhibited signs of uneasiness. '
At length, thinking to take what western
importance of eggs as an article of diet, and
but not generally until .the race begins,

“Go i" said the little Indian boy ; and away
went twenty thousand dollars in the heels of
the Indian horse, twenty feet ahead before
the other crossed the mark, making the gap
wider at every bound.
Away .they sped like flying birds; the
crowds joined in shouts and liurrahs, hnn.
dreds of all colors falling in behind and fol-
lo'wing up. ‘ ' .
Away go the flying horses, and several
thousand eyes following the yellow rider,
still ahead as they grow smaller in the dis-
tance, until the Indian horse turns the stake
at the farther endrin advance. Now they
come, increasing in size to the eye as they
approach, the yellow rider still in advance.
Crabb gasps for breath,and declares that his
horse “will yet win." .
The eagle eye of the old chief lights up as
they come neuron-his rider still leading. Ex—
citement is now beyond words to tell. Look
again ! The Indian boy comes along, settling
his dry willows over a horse that was mak-
ing the fastest time on record, considering
the nature of the turf.
The Indians along the line fell in and ran
beside the victorious racer, encouraging him
withwild. unearthlyshouts, while he the

and one-fourth and eighty three yards'in the
unprecedented timc'of nine minutes and fifty-
one seconds, winning the race and money,
much to the joy of the Indians and their few
friends, and to the grief of Crabb and his
many friends.

white men along the frontier line declare

The Telephone. . ,
And now we have the Telephone. This is
an instrument designed to convey sounds and
render, them audible to listeners at longer dis-
tances than is usual according to ordinary
methods. In' its simplest form, the telephone
is only an improvement on the. toy familiarly
knowri asthc “lover's telegraph.” The prin-
cipal medium of communication in this case
is a common wire. .Every one knows that
sounds are transmitted further through a wire
than through the air. By fitting two sensi-
tive membranes to the ends of a long wire
one can talk against one of the membranes,
the vibrations of which are imparted to the
wire, and are caught up and rendered audible
by the other membrane on the receiviiig in-_
strument.milcs away. The more complex
telephone, just invented by Professor Gray,
is designed to convey musical sounds long
distances in a Similar manner. This requires
the aid of electricity, and is an adaption of
the ordinary telegraph. The following de-
scription will be intelligible to all who have
any acquaintance with the sciences of elec-
tricity and music :
The sending instrument consists of a key-
board like a piano, each key striking and
causing to vibrate a tiny bit of .stch called a
reed; substantially the same as the reed in a
musical instrument. These reeds are of dif-
ferent sizes and tuned to give out exact tones
and semi-tones, one for each note. It is a
well-known fuel; that the difference in the
tone of a reed or string in a musical instru-
ment is due to the difference in the rate of its
vibration. The deepest tones of an organ,
for instance, give only forty vibrations to a
.second, .while the shrillest note it‘ is possible
for the human ear to hear is made up of
five thousand vibrations to a second. Now
the reeds in a telephone are all arranged to
vibarte, when struck by the pianoforte key,
between little magnets in such a way as' to
break and restore the through electric nrrent
at eachcontact, and to make a contac with
every vibration. As the several notes of a
piece of music are played on the keys of the
instrument, the electric fluid' goes over the
.wire in waves infinitely small but v . ing in
the rate according to the different rec s suc-
cessively employed; ‘ At the'ofilce whenegie,
music is to be received, a series of ree s‘,‘
tuned to exactly correspond with the first set,
are attached to an extremely scnsite and re-
verberative sounding board, which magnifies,
so to speak, the faintest vibration of any one
of these‘ reeds, and converts it into audible
sound. This apparatus is attached in such a
way to the magnet around which the electric
current flows, that whichever reed corre-
sponds to the particular rate of electric
waves in the wire, will vibrate; and that vi-
bration, though infinitesimally slight, iS'made
audible by the sounding board, and lasts just
as long as the waves continue to come at that
particular rate. The rate of the electric
waves is constantly changingas different notes
are struck by the sender; but whatever the
rate and however brief its continuance, one
reed or another on- the receiving instrument
feels the vibration, and responds instantiine-
ously. Thus the notes orginally played are
reproduced in exact tone, length and order
on the receiving instrument. - -
This apparatus was practically tested at
Steinway Hall,‘ New York,last Monday night,
when and where a large audience gathered to
listen to music performed at Philadelphia by
Mr. Boseowitz, the pianist, and conveyed to
New .York by the telephone. Mr. Boseowitz
played several familiar tunes, like “Home,
Sweet Home,” “You’ll Remember Me,” etc.,
which were distinctly heard and recognized
in Steinway Hall, a hundred miles away,
though the tones were very faint and not al-
ways correctly given. This,,it was explained,
was due in the main to the unfavorable state
of the weather, and in part. to the imperfec-
tions of the instrument, which could not be
expected to be a complete success at such
short notice. Enough was exhibited, how-
ever, to prove that musical sounds can be
conveyed long distances and reproduced hun-
dreds‘of miles away by the telephone.

NEW YORK, April 4.-—-Prof. Bell made an
experiment with his telephone over the At-
lantic doPacific Telegraph Company’s wires
between Boston and New YOrk last night,
the ProfeSsor, who was in this city, commu-
nicating with his associate in Boston. The
experiment was agreat success. Everything
said by the Professor’s associate was plainly
heard by those in attendance here, the con-
versation being carried on at the ordinary rate
of talking. Prof. Bell told his associate to
go ahead and play on the organ. The music
came thrOugh plainly and distinctly, the op-
erator sending a chord through at a time, in-
stead of having to send by the single note.
iThe associate then sang “Yankee Doodle,”
which was as plainly heard gs if he had been
only a few yards off, while in speaking, his
voice was just as distinct as though it was
through a tube from the bottom to the top of
a building. It is probable that arrangements
will be made for utilizing the system in send-V
ing messages and press reports.
The Connecticut Prison Association has
issued a circular explaining its work, accom—
plished and proposed, and appealing to all
interested in the work for assistance. The'
each convict, a month before he is discharged
and becomes'acquainted with him, his capa-
bilities and intentions. If he have no friends
or definite plans for the future, but desires
to live an honest, industrious life, the agent
strives, by assistance and personal sympathy
to step between him and the dangers that be-
set him most severely at the moment of his
re-entrance into the world, when the honest
man shuns hini,and he is left to the mercy of
the same companionship that debascd him be-
fore. ,Homea and employment areprovided
by the association for those who will accept
them, and frequent visits are made afterward
by the agent, or a member of the association,
to assure them that they have personal friends
interested in their welfare.
There is , but one man under salary, the
work is being done systematically and eco-
nomically. The appeal for help is either for
money or employment. Subscriptions are to
be sent to John B. Corning, treasurer. It is
a most worthy endeavor to assist debused
men at the time when assistance is most
needed and most likely to prove effectual.

The Situatibn' in Turkey.
Extracts from two private letters written
by 0. Norwalk lady who has been living in
Asiatic Turkey for several years with her
husbaud,a missionary of the American Board,
were read at,thc Missionary meeting at the
First Congregational church on Sunday even-
ing last. As the letters were of much gener-
al interest we soliclcd and obtained the con-
,sent of her friends to publish the follovflng
extracts. The first letter was written in De-
cember last, and 'addressed to her sisters. It
was hastily written, under pecutiar disadvan-
tages, and with no idea whatever of its pub-
lication. The missionaries had just moved
.into a new house, and this letter was written
before they, had become fairly “settled :”
And now we a_re beginning to feel that
there is a strong probability that we must
leave these pleasant homes in the Spring, and
go—whcrc? “’0 must,» wait developments
and watch the indications of Providence be-
fore we can answer, that question. Some of
you probably read the papers, and watch
with interest the progress of events in Tur-
key, and perhaps know quite as much about
them as we do. Until_within_ the last 'week
we here in Van have been perfectly quiet,
and the Turks have appeared as friendly as
usual—to us‘they are so still. But as thewar
news looks more and more stormy, and the
prospect of a general European war more im-
minent, the wrath of the Turk against the-
Christians bursts out, and the past week has
libel one of intense excitement and conster-
nation to the Armenians in Van. The reason
is, 'that last week Tuesday night almost the
entire business part of the city was destroyed
by fire; the shops destroyed being almost
exclusively Armenian. Almost every rich
Armenian-in the city was thus in one night
made poor. It was the work of the Turkish
soldiers, urged on by the leading Turks of
the place. The pasha was sick at the time,
and nobody knows whether he had any part
in the affair or not. The shops were first
plundered and .then, so report says, kerosene
poured on and gunpowder thrown in to make
them burn. Soldiers stood by, driving’back
any who'made attempts to put out the fire or
save goods. There were from eight hundred
to a thousand shops in the city, and it‘ is said
to be a low estimate to say that five hundred
of them‘ were burned. The poor Armenians,
who are always afraid of the Turks, are now.
terrified, and they have reason to be. They
fear for their lives. Threats have been con-
stantly made by soldiers and leading Turks- to
this effect—“You are alive yet, wait a few
days and see what will happen ;" “We have
burned your shops, we will cut your throats-
soon. ” Our hearts bleed for this poor people,
always oppressed, but now in so much of
danger. Then too, they have no source of
comfort—as we have—and no redress for
their wrongs. If they only knew the true
source of comfort, the “very present help
in trouble,” how much easier it would be to
bear all this anxiety and care. As for our-
selves, we have been unmolested so far, but
we, of course, cannot tell how long we will re-
main so. I think the others fccl that the
probability of our becoming martyrs is very
strong; but for myself I, do not feel so. It
seems to me that the probability Of our houses
being robbed is quite strong, but I do not feel
or much fear that violence will come to us. ‘
Whatever may happen, we are in the Lord’s
hands, and He will give strength to bear all
that comes upon us. Of course, we know
not what an hour may bring forth, for these
Turks are bigoted, and we are Christians and
they hate us with perfect hatred. They
would just like to kill us if they dared. For
nearly a year, the English Consul in Erzroom
has been advising us (missionaries in all the
interior stations) to hold ourselves in readiness
to leave our stations at any time. Until now,
it has not seemed necessary, but if there
should be a general European war, it may
seem wise for us to do so. We have had re-
peated invitations from missionaries in Oroo-
miah and Tabreez to take refuge in their
homes whenever it seems. necessary for us to
leave. Even Persia might not be a safe rc-
treat, and in that case I suppose America
would be our. refuge. But don’t count on
that. We shan’t go there if we can remain
in this country in safety. 4; '
The second letter was written last January,
to her father.
I have felt constrained to answer you right
away, before our mail communication with
the outer world is cutoff, which is beginning
to look almost certain; or rather, war is be-
ginning to look cerlain, and one of its conse-
quences may be .the cutting off our mails.
Another one, a probability which is often
spoken of no .v, is that we may be obliged to
leave Van, for a time at least, and . we are
daily praying to be guided of the Lord in the
course we shall take in case it seems clear
that we must leave. No one of us wishes to
leave our work here if there is any possible
safety in remaining. You need not fear, as
you seem to, somewhat, that we are unaware
of our danger, or that. we will remain too
long. We are constantly watching the polit-
ical skies and doing all that is possible to as-
certain what the prospects are. In Erzroom
there is an English consul,who is very friend.
1y to the missiOnaries, and who is constantly
doing all he can to help them in all kinds of
difficulties. He has .also promised to throw
the wing of his protection Over us, and to
telegraph to us as soon as it seems best for us
to leave. I wrote some weeks ago that in the
event of our being obliged to leave Van, the
probabilities of our going to America are not
very great. Our missionary friends in Persia
(Tabreez and Oroomiah) have cordially and
repeatedl invited us- to take refuge with
them, and if the roads are safe, and Persia
does not get mixed up .in the muddle, we
shall-undoubtedly go there. Of course if it
it were necessary for us to go to America, it
Would be equally necOy for all the other
missionaries in Turkey. Now, if there is a'
safe place for us as near as Persia, it would
be Wrong for us to cause the Board (especial-
much needless expense. We should none of
us want to leave our work for the sole pur-
pese of seeing our friends,dearly as we should
love to see them again. Now you must not
misunderstand me and interpret this asmean-
ing that we have lost all natural affection
and interest in our friends. Y ou know that is
not true.
must be done while the day lasts “for the
night cometli quickly in which no man can
,work.” - ~ '
You may like to know that we are now
comparatively quiet and the people somewhat
reasgured. A new pasha, said to be the best
governor in Turkey, has just come. The old'
one (who was sick at the time of,_the fire)
died soon after. This new one was at Har-
poot, and is very friendly to us. He is also
considerably enlightened, and has a keen
sense of justice. He is also higher in rank
than the other one, so ‘we all feel safer with
him here than we did before. .But it is bet-
ter to trust in the Lord than to put confidence
n Princes. .

reported from Brooklyn, the merchant being

the Corners for a few days on an expedition
to replenish his wardrobe, and during his ab-

peace policy of the President. On his return
home he found the meeting in session and
the “Deekin” reading some conciliatory reso-
lutions. But before they were finished, Nas-
by, unable to restrain his emotions. sprang to
his feet and said : “Bascom, cf them reso-

then, Mr. Tilden. more’s the pity,- is not in

pious Democrats is to wait until the crop of-
devout Republicans is exhausted, or else “to

VOL. LX:NUMBER15,
DREAMS. ,
’Tis superfluous to think of ‘the dreams of
multitudes ; the astonishment remains that
one should dream ; that we should resign so
quietly this defying reason, and become the
theater of delicious shows, wherein time,
space,persons, cities, animals, should dance
before uslin'n‘ier‘r'y' and "mad confusion a dell-
cate creation outdoing the prime-and, flower
of actual nature,antic comedyalteriihtihg with
horrid pictures. Sometimes the‘ forgotten
companions of childhood reappear._ '
“They come, in dim procession led,
The cold,‘ the‘ faithless and the dead,
As warm each hand, each brow as gay,
As if they. parted yesterday.”
_ ‘ Or we seem busied for hours and days in-
peregrinations over seas and lands, in earnest
dialogues, strenuous actions for n9things and
absurdities, cheated by- spectral .jokes, and
waking suddenly with ghostly laughter to be
rebuked by the cold, lonely, silent midnight.

the gibbering nonsense. to find the. gnotive
of this contemptiblewcachination.“ Dreams
arejealous of being remembered ‘; they dis-
srpatc instantly and angrily if you try to ’
hold them. When newly awaken from live:
ly dreams, we are so near them, still agitated
by them, still in their sphere—‘sgivc us one
syllable, one feature, one hint, and we‘ should
repossess the whole, hours of this strange
entertainment would come trooping back‘to
us; but we cannot. get our hand onthe first
link or fibre, and the whole is lost. There is
a strange willfulnes’sin the speed witlrwhich
it disperses and baffles our grasp. A disloca- .
tion seems to_be the foremost trait Of dreams. I
A painful imperfection almost always attends
them. The fairest‘forrns, the most noble and
excellent persons, are deformed by some piti-
fu‘. and insane circumstance. The very. land-
SCape and scenery in a dream seem not to fit
us, but like a coat or cloak of Some other
person to overlap and incumber the weaver ;
so is the ground, the house, in dreams,
too long or too short, and if it served no
other purpose Would 'show us how ace:-
rately nature fits man awake. There is o e
memory of waking and another of Sleep. In
our dreams the some scenes and fancies are
many times associated, and that too, it won“
seem for years. In sleep one shall travel cer-
tain roads in stage-coaches .o'r gigs, which he
. recognizes as familiar, and has dreamed that

MARSHAL STREET, SOUTH NOR WALK 10““ “9°” This feature 01’ dreams deserves
the more attention from its singular resem-
blance to that obscure yet startling experience
which almost every person confesses in day-
light, that particular passages of conver-
sation andaction have, occurred 'to him 'in
the same order before, whether dreaming or
waking—a suspicion that they have been with
precisely these persons, in precisely this room
and heard precisely. this dialogue at some
former hour, they know not when. Dreams
have a poetic integrity and truth: This limbo
' and dust hole of thought is presided over by
a certain reason, too. Their extravagance
from nature is yet within a higher nature.
hey seem to us to suggest a certain abundance
and fluencyof thought' not familiar to the
waking experience. They pique us .by inde-
pendence of us, yet we know ourselves in this
mad crowd,and owe to dreams a certain divi-
nation and wisdom. My dreams are not me ;
they are not nature, or not-me ; they are
both. They have a double consciousness, at
once sub- and objective. We call the phan-
they act like mutincers and fire on their com-
mander;showiiig that every act, every thought,
every cause, is bipolar, and in the act is con-
tained the counteraction. If I strike, I am
struck ; if I chase, I' am pursued. Wise and
sometimes terrible hints shall in them be
thrown to the man out of'qniet unknown in-
telligence. He shall be startled two. or thrcc
times in hir. life by the justice as well as the
significance of this phantasmagoria. Once or
twice the conscious letters shall seem to be
unlocked and a freer utterance attained. A
prophetic character in all ages has haunted
them ; our dreams show like the sequel to
waking knowledge. .Thc visions of the night
bear some kindred to the visions of the day.
They are the maturation often of opinions
not consciously carried out to statements, but
whereof we already possessed the elements.
Thus,‘wheii awake, I know the character 'of
Rupert, but do not think what he may do.
In dreams Iseehim engaged in certain actions
which seem preposterous~out of fitness; He
is hostile, he is cruel, he is frightful, lie is» a -
poltroon. It turns out prophecy a year later.
But it was already in my mind as character,
and the sibyl of dreams merely embodied it
in‘a fact. Why, then, should not symptbms,
auguries, forebodings, be, and, as one Said,
the meanings of the spirit ? We are let, by
this experience, into the high region of cause,
and acquainted with, the identity of very
unlike-seeming efforts. We learn that actions
whose turpitude is very differently reputed
proceed from' one and, the same affection.
Sleep takes off the costume of circumstance,
arms uswith terrible freedom, so that every
will rushes to a deed. A skillful man reads
his dreams for his self-knowledge ; yet not
the details, but the quality. What part does
he play in them—~11 cheerful, menly part, or a
poor, drivelling part ? Hewever monstrous
and grotesquctheir apparitions, they have a
substantial truth. The same remark may be '
extended to the omens and coincidences -
which may have astonished us. Of all it is
true that the reason of them is always latent
in the fi individual. Goethe said : “These
whimsical pictures, inasmuch as they origi-
nate from us, may well have an analogy with
our whole life and fate.” The soul contains
in itself the event that Shall presently befall
it, for the event is only the hctualiaing of its
thoughts. It is no wonder that particular
dreams and presentiments should fall out and
be prophetic. The fallacy consists in select-
ing a few insignificant hints when all are in- '
spired with the same sense. " Evcry. man
goes through the world attended by innumer- ‘
able facts, prefiguring (yes,distinclly announ-
cing) his fate, if only eyes of sufficient heed
and illumination werefastcncd on the sign.
The Sign is always there, if only the eye
were also ; just as under every tree in (he
speckled sunshine and shade no man notices
that every spot of light is a perfect image
of the sun, until in some hour the moon
eclipses the luminary ; and then first we no-
tice that the spots Of light have become cres-
cents, or annular, and correspond to the
changed figure of the sun. Things are Signi-
ficant enough, heavens knows ;. but the sneer
of the sign—where is he ? ,lVe doubt not a
man’s fortune may be read in the lines of his
hand, by palmistry ; in the lines of his face,
by physiogonomy ; in the. outlines of his
skull, by eraniology ; the lines are all there,
but the reader waits. The long waves iridi-
cale to the instrustcd mariner thatihun: is no
