He told a strange story, of which the following is the substance : Some weeks since, while at homo in Michigan, he retired to rest after*a hard day a work, and falling tHleep dreamed a dream. He appeared to have taken a long journey from “home,’* where he hail been located for years and had scarcely lost sight of, and when* he hail lived “a happy old bach,” and never thought of mat- rimony. In that dream a vision appeared unto him. He arrived st a place in Ohio, which was called Fremont. It appeared that soon after his arri val in that place, he formed the acquaintance of a yonng lady, and that, after a short and happy conrtahip, he married her nil retained to his home in Michigan, w here he became wealthy, lived happily, and raised a numerous family of children, and in timo tottered his grandchildren upon his knee. He then awoke; it was broad dayligLt, and liis mother was at liis door calling him down to breakfast. At the breakfat tablo he related liis dream to the old lady, and she was deeply impressed with it. He told her it was his intention to at once seek out the lieantifol creature of whom ho had dreamed, and the old lady, lieliering there was special providence in it, and being also a firm » ^ believer in dreams, advised liim by all means to » V. ol\(J VY jVJ 9 i go and find her if he could, and if he couldn’t attorney at J.AIV, ,, ‘' r *" S.

Many yens ago, my health Having become much impaired by over study, I was recommended to pom a winter in the Sooth of France. Of so agreeeble a prescription I readily availed myself. I was without wifo or child to encumber my departure; and, armed only* with a portmanteau, made a most delightful journey of it to tine (harming town of Shortly after my arrival, whilst sitting at the window of my hotel, a man passed by, so vory much like myself that, struck with the resemblance, I arose, and, lean ing forward, followed him with my eyes. His dress bespoke him on Englishman. He was tall; so was L Slim; I was allm. His eyes were blue, his akin fair, his hair a deep auburn, his nose aquiline. All this was my potrait When he had reached the bottom of the street he paused, looked round, then slowly re turned, crossing the road, however, and tricing the opposite pavement This — abled me to gets clearer view of tho m I confess I was. much impressed with the vescmhhiaao, -and hardly Kked it. The physiologist I thought may delight as much as he pleases in such coincidences; for my part I decidedly object to being mado a portion of any sort of phenome non. I had read of very unpleasant con sequences following personal resemb lances. and earnestly hoped that this in dividual wonld speedily clear tho neigh borhood of his presence. A week or two after this, in taking a walk across a beautiful bit of adjacent country-, I snddeniy encountered my likeness, seated on a rustic bench be neath a tree, with his arm circling tho waist of a beautiful peasant girl. Her dun, of a pure and cream-like tint, finely contrasted the splendid luxuriance of her black hair. Her eyes flashed up on me as I passed, and I noticed her draw herself erect with rapid hanteur, as if indignant or impatient of detection.— The man by her side, who wonld have passed very well for me to any other per son bnt my mother or myself, still main tained his caressing attitude. He did not condescend to raise his eyes to mo as I passed, but kept them llxed upon tho face of the girl, who, I could see, watch ed me with a species of sullen eagerness as if wishing mo out of sight. As I passed them, I must confess to having experienced a momentary sensa tion of envy of tho man.

For all I know, I re flected, that beautiful peasant girl might have been originally destined for me; bnt the intention of nature hail been de feated by her love of coincidence. I laughed at my thoughts as I walked on, and, turning a corner lost sight of the lovers. On reaching the bottom of tho lano I found that I had fallen upon acvl da sac.
