DR. DODDRID-G.-E'S DREAM
Dr. Duddridge was on terms of very
intimate friendship with Dr. Samuel
Clark, and in religious conversation they
spent very many happy hours together.
Among other matters a very favorite top
ic was the intermediate state of the soul,
and the probability that at the instant of
dissolution it was not introduced into the
presence of all the heavenly hosts, and
the throne of God. One evening after a
conversation of this nature, Dr. Dodd
ridge retired to rest with his mind full of
the subject discussed, and in, 'the visions
of the night' his ideas were shaped into
the following beautiful form. He dreamed
that ho was at the house of a friend, when
he was suddenly taken dangerously ill.—
By degrees lie seemed to himself to grow
worse anchworse, and at last to expire.
In an instant he was sensible that he had
exchanged the prision house and suffer
ings of morality, for a state of liberty and
happiness. Embodied in a slender' aerial
form, he seemed to float in a region of
pure lightßencath him lay the earth,
but not a glittering city or village, the
forest or the sea was visible. There was
nought to be seen below save the melan
choly group of his friends, weeping around '
his lifeless remains. Himself thrilled
with delight, he was surprised at - their
tears, and attempted to, inform them of
his happy change, by Some mysterious
power, utterancd was denied; and as he
anxiously leaned over the mourning cir
cle, gazing fondly upon them and strug.
gling to speak, he rose silently upon the
air, their forms became .more -and more
indistinct, and gradually melted away
,from his sight, Reposing upon golden
clouds be found himself swiftly mounting
the skies with a venerable - figure at his,
side, : gtfidin his mysterious movements,
and in whose countenance he remarked
the lineaments of youth and- a g e. blended
together with an intimate' harmony,and
majestic sweetness. '
They ,traveled together through-a-yak
region of empty space, until at length . the
battlements of a gloriope edifice shone in•
the distance, and as its form rose brittle&

the interval before his arrival the apart-
mcnt would furnish him with sufficient
entertainment and instruction. The guide
vanished and ho. was left alone. He be-
gan to examine the decorations of the
room, and observed that the walls were
adorned with a number - of pictures.—
Upon nearer inspection he found, to his
astonishment„that they formed a complete
biography of his own life. Here he saw
upon the canvass, that angels, though un
seen, had ever been. his ' 'familliar atten
dants ; and sent by God they had some-
times preserved him from imminent per
il. Ile beheld himself first represented
as an infant just expiring, when his life
was prolonged by an angel gently breath
ing into his nostrils. Most of the occur
rences here delineated were perfectly fa
milliar to his recollection and unfolded
many things which he had never before
understood, and which had perplexed hi in
with many doubts and much uneasiness.
Among others, he was particularly struck
with a picture in which he was-represent-
ed as falling from his horse, when death
would have been inevitable had not an
angel received him in his arms, and
.bro
ken the force of the descent. These mer-
ciful interpositions of God tilled him with
joy and gratitude and his heart overflowed
with love as he surveyed in them all an
etilibition of goodness and mercy far be
yond all that he had imagined.
Suddenly- his attention was arrested by
a rap at the door. The Lord of the Dian-
sion had arrived—the door 'opened and
he entered. So.powerful and overwhel-

with his appearance, that lie sunk down

with his fin;ers the juice of the grapes

than all uneasy sensations vanished, per

bliss, that glided over his spirit and slid
into the very depths of his soul, he sud
denly saw glories upon glories resting
upon his view. The Doctor awoke. Tears
of rapture from this joyful interview were
rolling down his cheeks. Long did the
lively impression of this charming dream
remain on his mind, and never could he

SPITING A THUNDER STORM
It always rains on picnics. Let Jupiter
Pluvius be never so chary of his drops,
let the earth be, parched fin• weeks, and
let the farmers complain as loudly as they
may, let the corn droop and the potatoes
dry up for want of a shower, let the riv
ulet-beds be streandess, and the runs run
nothing for a whole, month together, it is
sure to rain on a picnic. Prayers are of
no avail, but let a picnic come off, and
shower is sure to follow.
We . retnenibi , .r, when living in Hoosier
Slate, "a ion , t' time ago," going on a pic
nic, when if this fact was not demonstrat
ed, it might have been.
The Wabash bad been drier than a
toper's throat before he has taken his eye
opener, fur weeks. The river was as low
as the spirits of farmers, and rain was a
thing most anxiously looked for. As it
did not come, however, the young folks
of New Harmony made up their minds
to take advantage of the dry spell and
have a picnic. The preliminaries were
soon arranged, and on the day agreed up
on, some forty couples started in buggies,
and proceeded, fully armed" and equipped
with all the means and appliances to boot,
to a sequestered spot on a bend in the
river, sumo five miles below the town.—
There was.never a merrier, happier set,
add the happiest among them all was Joe
8., one of the best fellows that ever lived,
and the life of every gathering in those
diggings, Joe-got up the dances, called
the figures, paraded himself everywhere,
and managed everything in such a man
ner that the picnic promised to bo the
greatest of great successes. • ' =
At'last, the hour for dinnercame. Joe
spread, hiinvlf to the utmost, and with
the assistance of the girls, with whoin he
was a universal favorite, he spread the
olo.th under an enormous twin sycamore,
and placed the'chicken fixens and 'a ger
feqt,abundance of good things-thereon. in
tempting array. After - everything had
been arranged to his entire satisfaction,
and as he paused aononient to omitein
plate the general effect, he beompel'eon
scions of a gathering shade, and jet .the
same identical moment a •drop-fell.uPen

others, being allyetidyi'shouted to him to
come on. As be raised his foo,t, to step
in the vehicle, the ftill tfut'co of his dis

feet from the shore,

OR, WIIICH HAND TAKES THE TOT.
—A Gambling Trial toi, Co/iforniq..+-
There is such a place as "Deadwood" in
California, and in that town, some time
since, a trial came off before the chief of
ficer of the day, vulgarly called a Justice'
of the Peace.
The case was "Hanks vs: BreeSe," and,
the facts were :
First—That the panties had violated
the law by playing "poke" on the Sub-I
bath. (1 t is, perhaps, proper to state that ;
the good folks of Deadwood bad not seen
the Supreme Court decisions.)
Second—That Breese played very "low'
down," or, in other words, cheated plain- t
tiff.
Third—That the game hroke pp in a
row, the parties being arrested by the
Justice, who happened to be present.
It was an important ease. Both parties
were well known, and had hosts of friends.
The defendant, through his attorney, a
sharp little man, demanded a jury. The
people of Deadwood never go to trial
without a jury.
The legal preliminaries having been
properly arranged, the 'case was called.
Twelve of the best men in the locality
formed the jury. The attorneys were big,
with the event of' the honr. At. length
an odd-looking genius ' :named Stephen
Lick, was placed on ,the stand by the
prosecution. The case proceeded.
' " You said you were present during
the game between the parties. Did we
so understand you, Mr.,Lick ?"
The witness nodded its the akmative.
" Did you observe .the progress of the
game with any interest ?' •
"I reckon I did—licker was pendin'
on -
" What was the aMoutit at stake at the
time the row' occurred . ?'' •
" Well, the ante was two bita, and born
Hanks bet a half on his little par. Then
Bill he went in—" •
" Never mind the details," interrupted
the lawyer, impatiently, , ,"hut answer any
question."
" That's what I'm going; nto'do ',' replied

The lawyers here protested against this

witness what the parties did then.

" Will the constable please keep order

jurors.

" Stop, stop, stop !" shouted one of the
lawyers, whose pkience was exhausted ;
" we do not care about so much detail,
but desire simply to know what amount
of money is. in dispute."
" Mr. Constable," holloaed the Judge,
who was deeply interested in the witness'
story, "do your duty.'' Then fixing his
eye upon the witness, ho asked, •' Sieve,
my buy, when Bill plunged his thirty
better, what did Lem come up with ?"
" Why, Lein he lifted him a cool fifty."
The Judge collapsed.
" Gentlemen of the Jury, that's so, fur
I was thar, and seen Lem do it."
By one of the Jury—" What did Bill
do then ?''
" Bill he tuck another look at his hand,
and then got down and scratched his foot
agin. When he cum up, he said to we,
said Steve, lend me a-hundred
tars.' Says 1 - , ' what fur ? lie said, to

he did on your par of juees, for he's got
*bully sixes.' Good thing,' says he, o-iv
ing nie a wink. 'Kiver his pile, and I'll

" Never mind what you did," said the
lawyer for defendant, " that has nothing
to do with the merits of"the case."
The, Judge gave the lawyer a terrible
look: 'Then turning to the witness, he
said;‘‘' Steve, if the,Court recollects-her
self, tbcu you came up with the spondu
licks, and Bill Breese tuck down Low's
pile."
This announcement was followed by
murmurs of dissatisfaction. The attorney
for the plaintiff was the first to speak.
" Now, if your Honor pleases," said
he, " I would like to ask one question.
How conies it that the defendant g ot the
tummy If he only

• " Yes," said several membei.s of the
jury, " how could thlt happen ?"

to that," resumed thewitness, "but some
how when it came to the last, he was
stronger."
The lawyers, thinking lie was about to
continue the story to an endless length,
I requested him to be brief. Taking
fresh Citaw," Steve said :
" The way of it was this When I kiv
erod the pile, Bill called Lein. Says he,
!I-'Zeal-,-what-have yotr-Tit 7 r -yours'elf-? 7 '- •

out his arm.• Three what?' says Bill.
'Nice little spots, all in the middle of the

money. ' Show 'eni," says 13ill, ' Thar,
they be,' says Lein. 'That's clever,' says
Bill, but they can't win this pop ' llow

revolver. ' Cause, here's four of the som e
sort!' says Bill. puttin' one hand on the I
money and 'taller on his revolver. All
I know is, Bill got the pot Wee he was!
arrested."
The lawyer for the plaintiff intended
to have made a good case in relation to
the manner in which defendant's hand
became strengthened from a little pair of
" juces" to four aces; hot to do so, he
would probably have been called on to
explain how Lem got his three " spots."
The Judge saw ,through the case at
once. Ile charged the jury that if they
thought that there was anything wrong
in a man 'scratching his foot ring
game of poker, they would so find ;but
if they thought such a movement was, on
the square, they would also be likely to
pass over the act of funibling with Ail
sleeves ecnnwitted by plaintiff.
The,," charge" was followed by loud
demonstrations of approval, such as yel
ling, throwing up bats, &o.
• The jury, after being out just three
minutes, brought in a verdict that it was
a "draw game," and the Judge thereupon
dismissed the ease.

mas•,,,,,The Albany Knickerbocker relates
an incident 01 noble patriotis.n, on the
part df a marled woman in that city, which
is truly worthy of admiration. A young'
married lady,-named Keefer, entered the
recruiting station of the Third and Fourth
Wards, accompanied by her husband, a
stout, able-bodied man. She inquired for
the recruiting officer, and he was pointed
out. She stepped up and said :
" Sir, here is my husband. He is
sound and able-bodied ; and as our coun
try hat made a call upon her sons to aid
her in this her hour of trial, I willingly
deliver toy husband to you, that he may
join his brethren in arms on the battle
field, to avenge the deaths, of those who
have already fallen, and make an humble
effort in crushing out this wicked and un
natural rebellion."
Her husband was sworn in, examined,
and is now a member of the 'Third Regi
ment of New York Volunteers. His name
is HentyrKeefer. Hoiv different this from
young married women in general, who
cling
to their husbands with the tenacity
of aleech ! The example of Mrs. Kee
fer,.of Albany, is commended to all the
young married women of the country.
MUSICAL ACCENT.—Tom Cook was

Cook—" My terms are a guinea a les

Sir James [rather ruled]—" Never

is a musical accent? Can you see it?';.
Cook—" No:"

Cook—"A musician, can." [Laughter.]

A OONFIR NIED GILUMBLER.—Some
time ago there lived in Edinburg a well
known grumbler named. Sandy Black,
whose often recurring fit of spleen or indi
gestion produced some ensuing scenes of
senseless irritability,which wcre highly re
lished_by_all - except the brute's good pa= tient little wife. Ono morning Sandy rose
bent on a quarrel; the habbies and eggs
wore excellent, done to a turn, and had
been ordered by himself the previous
evening; and breakfast passedlithout the'
looked for cause of complaint.., • .
' What will you have for dinner, Sandy?'
said Mrs. Black.
'A. chicken, madam.'
'Roast or boiled?'
• 'Confound it, madam, if you had'beett
a good and considerate wife you'd have
known before this what I liked,' Sand 3,
growled out, and, slamming the door be
hind him, left the, house. It was in spring,
and a friend who was present heard the lit
tle wife say,' Sandy is bent on a disturb
ance to-day; I shall not please him, do
what I can.'
The dinner tithe carne,:and Sandyand his
friend sat down to dinner, and fish wore
eaten in silence, and on raising the covor
of the dish before him in a towering pas
sion he called out,' Boiled chicken? I bate
it, madam. A chicken boiled is a chicken
spoiled.'
'Madam, I won't eat, roast chicken,
roared Sandy, 'you know how it should
have been cooked!'
At the instant i broiled chicken, with
mushrooms, was placed on the table.
Without green peas!' roared the grum
bler.
'Here they aro, dear,' said Mrs Blaok.
"'How dar,9 you spend thy money Wan - it
way ?'
'They were a present,' said the wife in

Rising fromhis chair and rushing from
the room, amidst a roar of laughter from
his friends, he clenched his fist and shout
ed; 'How dare you receive a' present
without my larve ?'
Ii.YEARS AGO Lewis Holt kept a rail
road refreshment stand at the station at
Attica,-on the road running west. He
had a way which men of his persuasion .
have not altogether abandoned, of taking
the money of passengtrS, sweeping it into
his drawer, and fumbling after the change
till the cars were off, when the passenger
would have to run and leave his change.
Charles Dean stepped out of the gars there
one day, took a "ginger pop," price six
cents, laid down a quarter, which Holt
dropped_into his till, and went hunting to
get out the change. Away went the cars
and Charlie jumped on without his change
but he had"linie to read - the nanie of
Lewis Holt over the door, and, making
1 note of it.rode on.
Postage was high in those days, and was
not required in advlince.' From Buffalo
he wrote a lettor to Holt—" Sell foam at
twenty five cents a glass, will you?" Bolt.
paid 10 cents on . this letter, and 10 . more
on one from Detroit, and 25 on annther7
from St. Louis, and for two or three years ,
he kept getting letters from his unknown'
-customer,- -and - would - have-got- -more tot
this day, but for the law requiring postage
to be paid in advance. He had to pay
two or three dollars in postage before
the letters ceased to come, and as they
were always directed in a new hand wri
tipg, he hoped each one was of more un-
Ortatice than the one before. If he of
Attica reads this, in the drawer, he wilt
