• A VIVID DREAM. B« Heeded It, Too, and H»d the Muitsrd Planter When Needed. •‘I bad a dream once that I died from pneumonia,” said a well known southern tnan who had a very creditable record as an officer in the Confederate army to a re porter. “It was one of those j>en»iMent dr cams that I could not shake off. While underlie Influence I think I suffered as intense j«*ln .»« I afterward did when I had ar- al case of pneumonia. The dream no controlled me that I Fpoke about it to the member* of my family, to the exclu sion of almost everything else, for several days. In a tew the war broke out, and with the young m<-n of my wetkn ot North Carolina I entered the Confederate army as a private, though I held- a com mission when the war ended. “When the day came for me to leave my home., my mother, who had packed up about everything I thought I -hould need, much of which I had to »y the way side MM>n after, awlutl me if there was anything else that I could think of that I would need. In an apologizing kind of way I said yes. that I would like a box of mustard for use in caw I ever got pneu monia. such as I dreamed of. for I forged to nay I dreamed that after I was dead a mustard plaster on my side cured my pain. When 1 looked into my knapsack, I found it so full of stuff that I could not find a j lace for the box of mustard, and I thought I would have to leave it. “That night I started out to conquer the whole Yankee army, and just, as I was about leaving the door of my house a pain titruck me in my siue. exactly the place af fected in the attack of pneumonia from which I had my dream death. It passed off in an im»taj.it, not. however, until I had asked my mother if she had found a place for the mustard. She told me she could notffind space in my knapsack, but that she had sewed up a bundle’of mustard in a parchment bag in the lining of my over coat I carried that overcoat four years and had f< It the mustard sewed up in the breast lining hundreds of times, but never supposed 1 would havt to use it. “It was four years to a day from the date of my enlistment when I was taken sick, ami with me a man in my company, for by that time I was a. officer. We were bundled off to a field hospital, neither one of us having any idea what was the mat ter with us. That night the doctor, the surgeon of the South Carolina regiment, visited us. He told us bluntly that we were suffering from pneumonia and that the chances were all against us. 'lf I could put a mustard plaster on you, 1 could save you both, ’ he Baid; ‘but, as you know, mustard is a rare possession in this part of the south now—m grain of it espial Ing in value a grain of gold, and scarce at that. ’ “All of a sudden the lining of my over coat came to my mind, and I asked if my coat was handy. I was told it was, and in a few moments the doctor had it ripped open Mixing it up with some bad bran, he divided it up at my request into two piasters, and my comrade and myself have Ihhju able to eat thrpe square meals every day since, barring the remainder of the war, when we wi re rather high toned and only indulged in one regular meal a day and in eyr minds. Though pneumonia killed me in liiy dream, tne same dream furnished me with the am munition which baffled death when hr at tacked us. My mother went to heaven without knowing that the bag of mustard she sewed in my coat saved my .life and that of my comrade.” —Washington Star. The Swamp Cabbage ax a Cat Flower. The swamp cabbage (Symplocarpus fortidus) has generally been regarded as a sort of joke among spring flowers, al though there are those who hail with pleasure the appearance of its purple streaked hoods in the bogs of late winter. The general public has been rather inclin ed to turn up its nose at the humble plant and its flowers. That it is by no means undeserving of a place, however, in the spring bouquet, was made manliest this season to the writer, who saw cut speci mens of it set in vessels of water in at least two windows fronting on business thoroughfares in Philadelphia. The cuttings had been made at a point six or eight inches below the base of the spathe and so as to include both flower ing an I leaf stalks. The effect was really striking and picturesque, the rich colors of the hood standing out boldly against the green background of the great open ing le.i'.cs in away that must have ar iest<d file attention of .ill that looked in the windows —Meehan's Monthly. How Lewis Carried the Day. Cougres'.n.:.n .lan.es Hamilton Lewis arrived nt Spokant during the boom. He had just graduated from the University of Virginia and had been recently admit ted to the bar. Like many another, lie reached Spokane almost penniless He put up at one ot the ch -apest boarding houses and began to look over the field. On the secund evening after his arrival in the city a muss meeting of the citizens was announced to discuss some of the innu tncral ie schemes that booming cities have lor alluring capital and raising the price of corner lots. Lewis had fallen in with another young lawyer whose condition Was - .:: ilar to his own. He proposed to his fellow barrister, as they had nothing else to do, that they go around to the meeting. The meeting was in progress when they a;rived, and “leading citizens ’ of the town were being called upon to speak. L< wis was not long in grasping the situ ation, and he whispered to his friend. Tin latter shook his head, but Lewis whispered some more and finally carried his point. His friend arose and announced that “he felt sure if the chairman would call upon our gifted fellow townsman. James Hamilton Lewis, he would be glad to speak. ” The people began calling “Lewis! Ix'wis!” and at length he went upon the platform and gave one of his characteristic speeches. flows readily with him, and he carried the audi ence by storm. He then reciprocated by calling upon his friend for a speech. From that day on Lewis was a popular man. Times were often hard with him and his clothing was sometimes thread bare, but somehow he always managed to have a fresh buttonhole bouquet, for which the people nicknamed him “Dude Lewis.” Soon after his speech he formed a partner ship with his friend, and the firm is now one of the leading law partnerships on the Pacific coast.—Exchange. Recovered the Locket. Last August Mrs. Kennedy broke a gold locket which she prized highly, as it contained a picture and lock of hair of her dead mother. She, of course, desired to have the repairs made by a first class jew eler, so she intrusted the locket to the care of her brother, who was acquainted in the jewelry trade. The brother was about to go on a trip through New York state, but he promised to leave the locket with a Philadelphia jeweler on his way to the train and return the receipt by miil. Two days later Mrs. Kennedy received a letter from ner hrotner, who said be would bring the locket with him when he returned, but did not mention where it was being repaired Early in September a dispatch came stating that the brother had died suddenly in Utica and that the b*xly and effects would be sent on at once. Some time later Mrs. Kennedy remembered her locket, but, although she made a thor ough search of her brother’s papers and cloth***. she could find so trace of it. In quirlcs w< re made of all the large jewel er- and advertisements were inserted in the newspapers, but the locket was never found IL- ently a forlorn tramp came to the Kennedy residence and was given some thing to vat. In return he did some work, and Mrs. Kennedy decided to give him a suit of her brother's clothes, which she hmi kept The “hoiA)” seemed very grate ful, and after donning the suit left. Thursday he returned and gave Mrs. Ken nedy a piece of paper he had found in the vest lining It proved to be a receipt for the long lost locket, which hud been left with a well known firm of New’ York jewelers. To avoid any risk Mrs. Ken nedy went to New York in person and re covered her locket. Philadelphia Record Hird* and Bonnets. You would look with anger upon a cat which watches a canary and seeks to seize and devour it, but what shall you say ol the sportsman who would shoot a bird simply to show the steadiness with which he can hold a gun. the accuracy of his sight along the gun barrel and the pre cision w’ith which he can pull a trigger? The cat. acting by an instinct, seeks to satisfy hunger, but the sportsman seeks to destroy life simply for the pleasure of killing. Outside of my study window as I write, among the snowy apple blossoms, a little brow n sparrow rests lor a moment upon a twig, cocking his dainty head to one side, looking sharply about him with his bright eyes, displaying his rounded, downy breast, neat brown wings, compact, mus cular body and complete and pretty form In a moment more he hops from twig to twig, from blossom to blossom, picking a morsel here and there, chirping - with great content and apparently enjoying life to the full. He is joined in a moment by an oriole, whose wings are black, with stripes of white feathers, and whose orange colored breast seems to have caught the rich color of the clouds of sunrise as he soared and sang his morning song, so rich and brilliant is his raiment. To these a third bird, w’ith golden breast and brown wings, joins himself, and the trio feed on the tree with great delight. If I had any one of these birds in my hand, a mere pressure of my thumb and finger would silence the song and still the life of the bird forever But what right would I have thus to take the little creature’s life? If any creature may claim exemption from cruelty and from untimely death, surely a bird may claim it. Homiletic Review. CASITOHIA,.
