I’hof. McFarland in an essay on
“Life on the Planets. ” says :
“That the four large outer planets
have not sufficiently cooled down to al¬
low life on their surface, sucli as we see
mi the earth ; that Mars gives all tele¬
scopic and spectroscopic probabilities
of conditions compatible with life as
we see it ; that the earth certainly for
millions of years has been covered with
multifarious life ; that of Venus and
Mercury we have no certain k 1 *•
ami tl^it the satellites if
tain lv noLtltU‘4 tw wuof. w# as is on
the earth ; that, in particular, our
moon has no water and no atmosphere,
consequently no climate or vegetable
lile. If tin* sun and the planets con¬
tinually lose heat, and there will come
a lime in the fur future when the sun
itself shall go out in everlasting night,
and the planets cool down so that the
“eternal snow” would be hot compared
with the degree of cold throughout nil
space, where every tiling shall be
dead.”
It is said that Pr< sklent Lincoln
once dreamed that he would be assassi¬
nated. lie was very fond of reading
and discussing the Bible, and on Sun¬
day evenings lie invariably read a chap¬
ter or two fioin the scriptures and then
gave Ids explanation of it. One Sun¬
day evening at the White House he
read several passages both from the
Old and New Testaments relating to
dreams, in the presence of Mrs.Lincoln
and the children. He then began to
talk with them on tlie subject of
dreams, and told them he had been
haunted for several days by a dream
lie had had.
They asked him to tell it, though
Mrs. Lincoln said she didn’t believe in
dreams in the least, and he told the
following dream :
“About ten days ago I retircil one
night quite lute, Iliad been up wait
ing for important dispatches from the
front, and could not have been long in
bed when I fell into shunter, for 1 was
very weary. During mv slumber 1 be¬
gan to dteatn. 1 .thought there was a
stillness about me, and 1 heard weep¬
ing. 1 thought that t got up and wan¬
dered down stsirs. The same stillness
was there. As 1 went from room to
room 1 heard moaning and weeping.
At length I came to tlie end room,
which 1 entered, and there before me
was a magnificent dais, on which was
a corpse. Here there were sentries and
a crowd of people. 1 said to one of the
soldiers: * Who is dead at the White
House ?’ lie answered : ’The l’resi
•lent.’ ‘llow did he die ?’ 1 asked.
By the hand of an assassin,’ was the
reply Then 1 heatvUa great wailing ail
over the house, and it was so loud it
seemed to aw aken me. 1 awoke much
depresed, and slept no more that night.
8uch was my dream.” From that
tune until his sad death, Mr. Lincoln
was haunted by the tear of assassins
tion, and Mrs. Lincoln’s first words,
after Wilkes Booth had shot him, ami
A pril 14. were : “His dream was pro
phetic.” The remark was not under
stood then, but when the story of his
dream was consequently told it was ex
plained.
