"Yes, yes, eartin ! Yes, yes I be lieve in dreams,' mm! old Silas Tafton lie took another whiff at his pijja, and thru added : "One of the greatest epec illations I ever went in lo came of a won derful dream. I'll tell you about it."- You remember, some of you, about tbe great land' speculations litre in Maine thirty years ago. Poor men a. very few of thf.tn were made suddenly rich ; and rich men .were made suddenly poor. I was living then in Grew. One day old Fam Whitney, of Oxford, slopped at our place, and showed us a map of a new town which had been laid Tut in Saga dn hoc. On the map it looked beautiful There were brooks aud lakes, aud broad plains of pine and oak, and streets all laid out, and spots for churches and schoolhouses marked out in proper array. I had a cousin living dwu that way, and I concluded lo go down and take a look. I found the town of Ellenville, which old Whitney had shown me on his map, to be a wild, worthless tract, all rocks and swamp ; but on the edge of this tract, in another township, my cousin owned a piece of good land, and I bought a hundred and fifty acres of it, and made me an cxcelleut farm ; and for that pur chase I was never sorry. Meanliine Kllfuvilli! was nearly all sold in hundred acre lots Tho excite ment was at fever beat, and people bought without once coming to look at the laud they were purchasing. But by and by the new owners began to look up their property, and yon can rest assured that they were a blue set, when they were reassembled on that territory.; Within all the limits of the mapped-out township there was not an acre that could be cultivated. On the side that bordered my farm it was a craggy ledge of rocks ; and beyond that to the east ward the land settled under the mud and the water of a sunken slough. Some of these lots bad been so!d as high' as one pound an acre, aud a few of them even higher than that Ouo poor fellow, named John Twist, from Vermont, had paid one pou nd au acre for a lot that bor dered on my farm. On the map it bad been set down as a magnificent pine for est, with a river upon its border, upon which was a superb water-power. John Twist bought it and paid for it, and when' be eame to look for it, he found it to be a mass. .of barren rocks, with here and there a clamp of shrub oak and a few Norway pines, and for a river he found a water course which tumbled melted snow over the crags in the spring, and which was dry most of the year. I did not see the poor fellow when he came to survey bis property, but I can imagine huw he felt. '- : After a while, however, the excitement passed on, and the sufferers of Ellenville turned their backs upon the graves of their speculative hopes. On my farm 1 prospered. My land was of the very best quality ; my wife was a true help mate ; nay crops were abundant ; my stock thrived, and I found myself with a goodly pile of money tied np in my stocking. ,One evening, after our crops had been garnered, a man, riding a sorry-looking ng, polled np before our door. He was j a well -looking man, with a sedate and solemn face, and dressed in black. It was safe enough to conclude that the man was minister, and so he announced himself, lie said he was the Eev. Paul Meek more ; he was lin-sionary, on a home circuit, and asked Slieltor for him self and beast for the night. .Of course we welcomed them cheerfully, aud were pleased with him. He had traveled ex tensively, and hia conversation was en tertaining and instructive. Before he went to bed he read a chapter in the Bible and made a prayer ; and Betsey said to me after he had retired that she never heard such a bcantiful prayer in her life. . The next morning, at A'ho breakfast table, Mr. Meektnore was very sedate. He asked a blessing, and then only an swered such questions as we asked him. Fiually my wife told him she was afraid he had not slept well. . He emiled and said he had slept 'very well, saving the spell of a very curious dream which had visited him three separate times during the night. Betsey asked him if he would tell what it was about. "It was the old dream of hidden wealth," he said, with a solemn look. "I haven't dreamed such a dream before, Bince by a wonderful dream in South Africa I led to the discovery of a dia mond miue worth millions of dollars, and it never profited me a cent. But such wealth is not for me. I need it not. My calling hath higher and holier aims. And yet this poor flesh is sometimes weak enough to lust after the dross of gold and silver " By degrees we got from him that he had dreamed of a silver mine among the crnggs of our hills. This miue seemed i hadn't already got all tho sheep-pasture to his vision to bo utterly exhaustless in j I needed ; but I told him he need not tho precious metal ; but be could not trouble himself. locate it. Betsey, whose curiosity was j During the next two weeks I kept aroused, would have pushed the matter, qU;et and held my tongue, giving no op but Mr. Meekmore finally shook his head j portuuity for ray secret to become known, more solemnly than ever, and said that .

In two weeks Mr. Meekaiorc came back. He had received a summons, ho said,. from the Home Board to return to Bostou and make immediate preparation for a winter campaign in tho West The second evening in tho society of the reverend gentleman we enjoyed more than we enjoyed the first. His fund of anecdote and adventure was literally ex haustless, and yet an odor of esnctity and delicacy pervaded all his speech. We urged that he should spend a few days with us, but he could not. He said it would give him great pleasure to do so, but his call to the. new field of labor in the West was pressing and imperative. On the next rooming, at the breakfast table, our guest was even' more sedate aud thoughtful thau on the previous oc casion, and when questioned on the mat ter he told us that he had been visited by the same dream again. "This time," he said, "the vision came with wonderful distinctness. I not only beheld the vast chambers of virgin silver, but I saw an exact profile of tbe over lying territory. It was a wild, desolate spot, by a deep ravine, through which the snows of winter seem to find release in spring, rushing down a craggy hill side to a dark, wide-Btretching swamp below. This would not impress me so seriously were it not that once before a dream of the eame import proved a start ling reality." . We conversed further on the subject, and after breakfast Mr. Meekmore took a pencil, and upon the blank leaf of an old atlas he drew a picture of the spot he bad seen in his dream ; and he pointed out where, beneath the roots of an old stumpy pine tree, he had seen out-cropping of the precious metal. He had drawn the picture, he told ns, to show us how vivid his dreanvhad been ; but he advised ns to think no more of it Even if it were possible that the dream had substance, the body of the mine was far below the surface ; aud, moreover, the Lord only knew where the spot was lecated, even allowing that such a spot ... b existed. For once in my life I allowed cupidity to get the better of my outspoken hones ty. - I allowed the reverend gentleman to depart, and did not tell him that I knew where there was a spot exactly tbe origi nal of that which he had pictured, even to every rock, shrub, tree and ravine. And that spot was upon the wild lot which had - been purchased by John Twist, and which John Twist owned still. That very afternoon, armed with an old axe aud pick, I sallied forth to tbe rough outside-of the Twist lot. I knew exactly, where the pictured lot was to be found, and when I had reached it I was more than ever struck with the faithful ness of Mr. Meckmore's draft. The ac-1 curacy in detail was wonderful. And j when I reflected that this draft was made by one who wa3 an utter and ab solute stranger to the place made from the simple impression of a dream is it a marvel that I was strangely influenced T I fonnd the old tree which the reverend dreamer had particularly designated and went to work at its roots. And ere long my labors were rewarded. Beneath one of the main roots I fonnd a lump of pure white metal as large as a hen's egg ; and upon further chopping and digging I found several more smaller pieces. They had evidently been taken from a molten mass, and upon rubbing off the dirt I found them all pure and bright. That night I slept but little. I could only lay awake and think of the vast wealth that lay buried in that bleak hill side. But what could I do ? The lot was not mine, and I should run great risk if I troubled another man's prop erty. And, moreover, if I made further explorations while the land was not mine, the secret might be divulged and the i vast wealth snatched from me. I must purchase the Twist lot, and I had no doubt That I could purchase it for a mere song. On the next day I rode over to see my cousin, and when I had spoken of the Twist lot, he informed me that' not only that lot, but a r.nmber of others were for salo. They had been advertis ed, and would be sold at auction in two weeks. lie called me a fool when I told him I should bid on the Twist lot ; but I toIJ him I had looked it over and made up my mind that my sheep could find plenty of grazing there throughout the summer months. He a iked me if I It was to be put up iu hundred acre lots, and sold by the original plans of the Whitney purchase. Lot number one was put up first, and sold for one-quarter 1 r 1 ! of a cent an acre. The next lot was the "Twist lot," so called, and I heard it whispered that iron aiid copper had been discovered upon it. A stranger in jocky clothes started it at fifty cents an acre. Another stranger, who wore a blue frock and top boots, bid seveuty five. There was more talk about, iron and ore. The man in the inekev suit said hat Le La1 positive assurance that pure iron ore uaa oeen touna iu some ot tuc gulches, and ho bid one dollar an acre. At this point I entered the contest and bid one dollar and twenty-five. Up up up twenty five cents at a time, until at length 1 had hid ten dollars an acre. People called me crazy. Ten dollars an acre was more than the very best land in the whole country waB worth. But I held my bid, and kept my own contest. And the Twist lot was knocked down to me for just one thousand dollars. The terms were cash. I told them to make out the deed while I went home after the money. And away I rode. I' emptied my old stocking of gold and silver, and found nine hundred and fifty dollars. - I borrowed the other fifty vfithout trouble at the settlement, and straightway pro ceeded to the oflice of Squire Simpkins, where the deed had been mado. The instrument was duly signed and sealed. and when the Squire has assured me that the payment of the money would make all fast and safe, I banded over the gold and silver. I observed that the name of John Twist had been recently signed, and I asked Simpkins if Mr. Twist was pres ent. "He was present a few minutes ago,' said Simpkiugj "and will be back again for his money. He's feeling pretty good I should judge, since he has got rid of his hundred acre lot for twice as much as it cost him, and for a thousand times more than any sane man would think it was worth. Half an hour afterwards I called at the Squire's agnn. Mr. Twist had just gone out with his money. "There he is now said Simpkins, 'just bound off ' I looked out the window, and saw at the door of the inn, on the opposite side of the way, a tall man, in a bottle green coat, with bright, glaring buttons, just mounting a horse, I recognized the horse and I recognized the man ! "Who is that man ?" I asked : 'he with the green coat and brass buttons V "That," said Simpkins "is Mr. John Twist" , In a moment more the man in the bottle-green coat had ridden away, with his heavy saddle-bags behind him, and buttoned up within that coat I beheld my reverend guest 1 It rushed upon me that the Rev. Paul Meekmore and John Twist were one and the same person ! i And tbis was not all that noshed upon me! A few days afterward I took my. lumps of white metal to a man who was versed in such matters, and asked him what they were. lie took tho largest lump and tested if, and said : "Pewter !"' I asked him if pewter was ever dug out of the earth in that shape. "Well,'' said he, "seeing that pewter is an alloy of lead and ' tin, it couldn't be very well dug up, unless somebody had gone and buried it before hand." Touching further explorations on my "Twist lot,'" I will not speak. I will only add that I have an old stocking with a half a dozen lumps of pewter in it ; and I never look upon it, but I am forced to acknowledge that dreams are sometimes very strange and wonderful thing?.

' Some men there are who can quit the use of tobacco at once, without the in tervention of any such tapering off pro cess as that described above. When this can be done without suffering or other inconvenience, we say, by all means An ,f tn..ft linivai.A. i m nn( ika i-i .1 u with thA mnl.rUv Ttnf mrxa n1.o'..iil f - - least 1 nose who nave not maae an nnmod-1 erate use of the weed, may give it up j by following the plan we have recom- , ., . , . , . , , . whtle still following their ordinary bust-; some persons, though, who have used to-! baeco to excess, aftd for a long period at that, who cannot by either of the meth ods suggested above, or by any method that we know of relinquish the habit without exderiencing such a reaction of the nervous system as to unfit them for the time being for business pursuits. Such should choose for the experiment a tine when their presence can, with the least inconvenience, be spared from their business, and take a furlough for this purpose. Had we hospitals for the re ception aud treatment of patients of this character, they wonld meet a great pub- 1 ' .

Such usually resort, when it is a case demanding treatment, to some water cure. And trpon the whole we think they could not do much better than this ; for the water treatment is well calculated to' allay the nervous irritation they will experience. There is one symptom which is very likely to appear early iu the process of quitting the use of tobacco, that is in somniu sleeplessness. For this the best remedy is hydrate of chloral, from 15 to 30 grains, dissolved in'water; one drachm by weight of the chloral tj 16 fluid drachms of water, or to 12 drachms of water with 4 drachms of syrup of orange pee!, or lemon syrup, to flavor it. 1 P "! again, and his old feelings and appetites begirt to return, the appetite for tobacco will doubtless, to some extent, return with the rt;st. But we can not believe that after having been" without the weed for, say a month, the craving will come back with anything like its former pow er. In this length of .time the nervous system must have undergone a complete revolution with respect to the drug, but any perturbation caused by i absence has been lost sight of in the prevailing malady, and in the effects of other drugs administered for its cure. We would say then to any user of tobacco to whom such such an incident may occur, seize the golden opportunity ; such may never happen agaiu. And if"you do thus take advantage of it .you will be richly repaid for all yon may have suffered otherwise by your illness, and may thank Heaven for it. Do not, though, wait for a period of illness to reform, for that may be a long timtfln coming may never come in season to do you any good. Be form now. "Now is the accepted time, now is the day of salvation." In entering upon an undertaking of this kind much assistance is sometimes to ho derived from association This was a power in the days of the temper ance reformation. Many a poor sot was enabled, by the moral support he obtain--ed in this way, to resist and finally to conquer his craving for strong Ilrink, who conld never have done so otherwise.
