“Maybe you’re going to put up

seemed to have been left in an unfin

On entering the bar-room, which
was a dingy, half lighted apartment,
Mr. S. found a few men, very ordi
nary in botli dress and appearance,
relating to each other the gossip and
news of the neighborhood. He seat
ed himself in their midst, and await

supper.
After eating a hearty meal, feeling
both fatigued and drowsy, he request
ed to lie conducted to his room. The
landlord, taking a lamp in one hand,
and the saddle bags of the traveller
in the other, went out of the bar
room into the yard, requesting Mr.
Spnnders to follow him.
At the extreme end of the tavern
building, they ascended a flight of
rude .-tops to an upper story. En
tering a narrow, dark passage, Mr.
S. was shown into a small, uncom
fortable room, furnished with a bed,
a chair and a small table. The land
lord put his lamp on the table, bade
his guest good night,and immediate

As the door of the room was with-

Early the next morning lie sent a

Some years afterwards ho met liis

In his vision he saw a man, grim
and dark, ascending the outer steps
of the passage which led to his room,
he bore a long, glittering knife in his
hand, and came up the steps with n
slow and silent tread. At the sight
of him a feeling of apprehension—a
presentiment that danger was nigh—
came over the dreamer. He sprang
out of his bed, opened f!is door, thro’
which he felt impelled to make his
escape. Opening it, he saw a hole
in the middle of the floor, over which
the timbers of a bedstead were ex
tended, the cord hanging down to the
floor beneath. As he was in the act
of seizing this to let himself down, he
awoke and found it was all a dream,

The Rev. Mr. Peters, of Tenuessee,
was preaching, and, having a large
gift of continuance, was sonewhat
protracted in his discourse. Several
of his heavers left in the midst of his
sermon. Ore young man was on his
way to the door, when Mr. Peters
pointed his long finger at him, and
said, “Brethren that young man has
just as good a right to go out as any
one.” It is needless to say that he
was the last deserter.
At another time, while Mr. Peters
was preaching, a young man started
to leave, the house, and m iking some
noise as he went, Mr. Peters paused,

A Cockney Outdone.
Our friend Bob Crandall visited
England last summer. While stop
ping at the metropolis, he happened
to drop into a coffee house, where a
lot of cockneys were speaking about
the swimming powers of different in
dividuals. One old gentleman, said
bis friend Williams, could swim five
miles in forty minutes. Another al
lowed that Tibbets could do more
than this, having swam forty miles
in seven hours. Just here, Bob ask
ed if he might “offer a remark.’’—
The answer was,
“Yes, certainly.”
On this Bob opened.
“Your f iend Tibbets is some swim
mer, gentlemen, but his performance
would be considered nothingin Ameri
ca. On tho Mississippi, men swim
with such rapidity that they go ahead
to pilot steamboats.”
‘Nonsense.”
‘No nonsense at all. To show yon
that I’m not joking in this matter,
I’m willing to make a bet with any
person present.’’
“What is it.”
“That I can out-swim any man in
England, and give him an hour’s
start.”
“For what sum, sir ?”
“Anything from j£50 to a Califor
nian gold mine.”
“We’ll take that bet, sir, and put
up .£100 that you cannot beat Mul
lins and give him that start.”
“Very good, I stand the bet.—
There are twenty sovereigns to bind
the bargain.”
“When shall the swim come off?”
“Now^—this very instant.”
“That’s preposterous. The day is
too far spent,”
“Day ! Why, my dear sir, I in
tend to swim a week. In the United
States a week’s swimming is noth
ing.”
“Possible ?”
“Yes, sir. Harry Slocum, of New
Orleans, once swam from Charleston
to Cuba. But this is wasting time.
