Some Fulfilled Dreams.
Dickens once had a dream which was
fulfilled, at least to his own satisfaction.
'•Here," he wrote on May 30, 1863, "is a
curious case at first hand. On Thursday
night la>t week, being at the ofiice here,''
in London, "I dreamed that I saw a lady
in a red shawl with her back toward me,
whom I supposed to be E. On her turn
ing around I found that I didn't know
her, and she said, 'I an Miss Napier.?
All the time 1 was dressing next morn
ing I thought, ' What a preposterous
thing to have so distinct a dream about
nothing! Ami why Miss Napier? for I
never heard of any Miss Napier.? That
same Friday ninht I read. After the
reading came into niv retiring-room Mary |
Boyle and her brother, and the lady in
the red shawl, whom they presented as
'Miss Napier.' These are all the circum
stances exactly told."
This was probably a case of uncon
scious cerebration. Dickens had no
I
doubt seen the lady, ami been told that i
see was M's> Na. ier, when his attention
was occupied wis other matters. There
would be nothing unusual i \ his dreaming
about a person whom he had thus seen
without noticing. Of cr.r-e it was an
odd coincidence that the lady of whom he
had thus dreamed should be introduced
to him soon after —possibly the very day
after. But such coincidence are not in
frequent. To suppose that Dickens had
been especially warned in a d'reani about
so unimportant a matter as his introduct
ion to Miss Napier would be absurd, for
whether f.lift.led or unfulfilled, the dream
was, as Dickens himself described it, a
very distinct dream about nothing.
Far different in this respect was the
Strang > dream which President Lincoln
had the night before he was shot. If the
story was truly told by Mr. Stanton to
Dickens, the case is one of the most cu
rious on record. Dickens told it thus in
a letter to John Foster: "On the after
noon of the day on which the President
was shot, there was a Cabinet council, at
which he presided. Mr. Stanton, being
at the time commander-in-chief of the
Northern troops that were concentrated
about here, arrived rather late. Indeed,
they were waiting for him, and on his en
tering the room the President broke oil'
iu something he was saying, and remark
ed, 'Let us proceed to business, gentle
men.' Mr. Stanton then noticed with
surprise that the President sat' with an
air of dignity in his chair instead of loll
ing about in the most ungainly "attitude,
as his invariable custom was; and instead
of telling irrelevant and questionable
stories, ho v. is grave and calm, and quite
a different man. Mr. Stanton, on leaving
the council with Atlo. > y G> oral,
said to him, 'That is the most s.itisfact
tory Cabinet meeting 1 have attended for
many a long day. What an extraordi
nary change in Mr. Lincoln !' The Attor
ney-General replied, 'We all saw .it be
fore you came in, While we were wait
ing for you he said, with his chin down
on his breast. 'Gentlemen, something
very extraordinary is going to happen,
and that very soon.' To which the At
torney-General had observed, 'Something
good, sir, I hope?' when the President
answered very gravely, 'I don't know; I
don't know. But it will happen, and
shortly too.' As they were all impress
ed by his manner, the Attorney-General
took him up again. 'Have you received
any information, sir, not yet disclosed to
us?' 'No,' answered the President,' lo.it I
have had a dream. And I have now had
the same dream three times. Once on the
night proceeding the battle of Bull Huu.
Once on the night proceeding such an
other (naming a battle also not favorable
to the North). Ilis chin sank upon his
breast again' and he sat reflecting.
'Might one ask the nature of this dream,
sir, said the Attorney-General. 'Well,'
replied the President without lifting his
head or changing his attitude,' I am on
a great broad rolling river—and I am in
a boat—and I drift!—and I drift!—but
this is not business,' suddenly raising his
face and looking round the table as Mr.
Stanton entered,'let us proceed to busi
ness, gentlemen.' Mr. Stanton and the
Attorney-General said, as they walked
oil together, it would be curious to notice ,
whether anything ensued on this, and
they agreed to notice. lie was shot that i
night."
Here the dream itself wa> not remarl - 1
able; it was such a one as miaht readily j
be dreamed by a man from the Western
States who had been often on broad roll-!
ing rivers. Nor was it recurrence re- j
markable, The note wart he point was'
the occurence of this dream three several
times, and (as may be presumed fiora ti.e
effect which the dream produced on its
third recurrence) those three times only,
on the niglitproceeding a great misfo:-
tnlie for the cause of the North.— Riclinrd
