It was a horrible dream.
And-tbe Bard's changing Icamres
and brighiening eye attested the'remo-
tion which bad been aroused by the
memory of fhodream.
It was indeed a horrible dream. A
long train of glass cars gliding over a
>lo»# railway, frieghted with youth,
ieauty and music, while on either hand
are stretched the victims of yesterday,
gliding over tho railway of Habit, to
wards a fathomless abyss.

A Kissing Holydajv
The English correspondent of the
New York Commercial Advertiser gives
the following description of one of the
Easier Holvdays, which he passed at
a small town in the heart of Stafford
shire :
♦'On descending to the little parlor
of the inn, on Monday morning. I per

termined any serious notions of work
however, caljing up a ’ look of magnifi
cent stand-ofF-or-l'Urbite-you expres

head, to check too familiar advances by
an assumed hauteur.
. I was miserably deceived, for a
strong-built young lady, jin a slate of
most barbarous: health, came forward
to meet jne. with an anful. carelessness
of manner, evidently wiabihg to per
suade me that. 1 was unnoticed, and
she was only going to the spring for a
pail of water; but when she arrived
within grappling distance, she flung her
pail away, clasped me rudely around
the waist,ami before 1 could say alasl
she lifted me from my feet and kissed
me with violence. She offered no apol-
ogy. for thus assaulting -me on- the
Queen’s highway, but laughed in my
face immoderately, and - called, oul,
“ Sukey, I’ve got hirai” Oh dear!
scarcely bad she spoken, before Sukey,
and Bet, and Polly, and a dozen others,
sprang into being from invisible places,
and 1 was surrounded by a laughing,
shouting group of unfeeling, robustious
females. -
I expostulated and enircaled in vain

kissed without mercy; till, making a
desperate rally, I burst from ;their cm-

An Interesting Narrative.
Beautiful and Affecting Incident.
The Paris correspondent, of the St.
Louis Republican, in' his letter of the
2d instant, says:
A young man recently made his es
cape from the galleys at Toulouse. He
was strong and vigorous, and soon
made his way/across the country and
escaped pursuit. He arrived the.next
morning before a cottage in an open
field r and stopped to beg Something to
eat concealment while he*reposed
a fittlfe. But he found the inmates of
lhe.cottage in the greatest distress. Four
little children sat trembling in a corner,

On n very warm and sultry evening
during the summer of *48, as Doctor
B—:—and my self were seated in a fash
ionable saloon of our town, indulging
in the cool luxuries which the proprietors
of the establishment.know so wel! How
to prepare, and chatting the while upon
such subjects as fancy and caprice sug
gested—a tall, limber-looking individual
of about 23, made his appearance, and
after looking about him for some time
in bewildermenUand doubt, seated him
self at a table close by the one at which
we were sitting. The young man was
apparently a stranger, and from the
country; and the illutninated sign, with
* Ice-cream,* “ Confectionaries” &c„
blazoned thereon, bad evidently taken
him in. . Knowing lbe Doctor to have a
good propensity for practical joking, I
turned to see what effeenhis new arrival
would have upon him ;„ a rid one glance
at his restless, twinkling eye, satisfied
mei that there would be sport—the tiger
already in imagination gloating
his prey. '
Afier sitting soibelime as if uncertain

up sufficient courage to address-us, and
inquire whether .be cotild ' get some ice

He accordingly returned to the latter
place, where he looked -about tor a lucar
lion. Finding an unoccupied piece of
ground, he put down .stakes, stretched
a rope around it, and pitching his tent
the enclosure, commenced trade.-—
Presently’ an old settler came 'nlong,
and. accosted him rather roughly as
follows: .
Hallo, stranger! what are you do-
ow this ground ?”- . ....
Selling licker and small notions.--
Anything you want to buy ?”
“ Well, you lake it mighty coolly, this
is my property and you mus.l leave.It^”

Yankee. “ I’vebeam tell that * posset-

The Teutriloqnist Ifouplossed*
OR A BET FAIRLY iwON-.FEEOlNQ THE QtAO.
It w as many years ago, prior to tho
revolution/when the good old laws for
hanging for numberless crimes (for
which a short imprisonment answers
i-days) were in full vogue, that a
small party were gathered one bright
inoon-lighi night in an eating cellar in
llie city of New York around an old
table, from which the steam rose to the
ceiling as it left the surface of a large
dish of soup set in its centre. The par
ty appeared tu a merry humor, and as
tbree noted characters had that day
swung from the scaffold, '• the topic of
conversation naturally turned upon the
execution. -. . '•
Old Jack died game, al all events,’
said one of the men.
“ I’m ’frqid that!s mor’n you’l do,* re
torted another. . ' ' .
“ I don't fear death ia any shape,* re
plied the first speaker.-
‘You don’t,hey/ suddenly: chimed
in a third person.
‘ No, I don’t, nor I can’t be scored
either,’ was the bragging answer.
‘You can’t, humph—allowr. end . to
doubt that, will you,’ sneered bis oppt»>

“ Ifyou don’t believe it you are free
ly privileged to lest me; but, mind you,
the consequcnccs be upon your head,
not mine.*
Well, we’ll see. You 'don’t, fear
dead people do you ?!
Not so much as living ones.'
Very well. Now, then; I’ll bfet ynu
twenty” dollars that you dare hot go
dowu to the scaffold and . feed one, of
hung to-day whh. some hot
soup!’ .• '
‘ Are you in earnest ?* -i J,. -J
‘ Never more so.in my life; there’s
the money—let’s see you cover ft.*
Thebo.aster put his. handlu his pock
et, drew forth a well filled -vvajlm. aml
placed twenty more dollars upon, tbe
table.
* Then you take the bet!' exclaimed
his-opnonent, in tv surprised voice. • »
* I do. Let George hold ike stakes.'
The preliminaries were soon arrang
ed, and with a bowl ol soup and spoon,
the boaster took bis way to the scaffold.
Now it happened that the person with
whom he bad bet was a ventriloquist,
and no saaneF had he left the house than
his opponent also .departed, taking a by
