at-tention for many years to this subject I wish to cite for your readers benefit two or three cases of most remarkable dreams which have fallen under my notice When dreams have been told me I have entered them in a book kept for that purpose with the date as near as could be ascertained and the name of the dreamer affixed to it In mauy instances the dream has been fulOled and but for my record would never have been thought of in connection with the event as the dream had long since passed from memory Mrs B of W had a son 4 or 5 years old a great pet and favorite in the family He was in perfect health when he dreamed of his being taken ill acd that he died His eister a girl of 12 was very devoted to him and the mother dreamed that she was from home when the boy died and when they sent for her on entariug the house she cried out Oh mamma Coly is an angel now isnt he I knew ho would be an angel The dream made such an impression on Mrs U that she related re-lated it to some of her neighbors Six months later the dream was verified to a letter The young girl was visiting and the little brother died while she was away She was sent for and on seeing the dead baby used the very words the mother had heard her say in her dream A young lady was in love with a naval officer and they were engaged to be married Some misunderstanding arose and the engagement was broken Miss S was a great dreamer and the family often laughed at th extraordinary extraordi-nary visions she would relate The officer went to sea and for ten years she never heard of or from him At the end of that time she began to have the most peculiar dreams about him night after night she read letters from him full of tenderness and devotion A year passed and then she commoaeed to dream of meeting him in ail sQ Jts of strange accidental places am at last dreamed they were marrien the I winter of the twelfth year cl sepup tion Miss S was invited Uxso to Vv aaa in ton on a visit White there she joined a party to attend t > je January call given by the cadets at Annapollis to her astonishment rpet her lover who was stationed in Ar napolis A perfect u underatandmq arrived at and soon I after t they Wce married A gen IP l man who hoots at the idea of I areum coming true acknowledged tome to-me a most peculiar circumstance which came to himself He was engaged to a vary charming young lady and for along a-long time the course of true love had no breakers to cross One day she related re-lated half in jest and half in earnest a strange dream she had had It was that he bad fallen in love with another young lady and their engagement broken in consequence that he had tried to hide the fact from her but she could not be deceivod and released him from his ties when he offered himself to her rival The time was set for the wedding and the bride elect had gone to New York to do some last shopping when she was killed on the ferrvboat crossing the river There the dream ended The agony she endured in her dream was as real as though it had been 1 true Her lover laughed at her but in less than a year her dream was fulfiled She saw herself supplanted and knew he was to marry another Two weeks before the wedding the rival left for Bal timoreand was killed in a most horrible railroad accident Nor was thij all Some months later the young lady took up her dream where it was interrupted and dreamed that her lover came to her with a full confession telling her that to his horror and mortification as the time approached for his marriage he discovered what a fatal mistake he had made for that ehe alone was the true Jlve while the rival was the in fatu n that he offered himself the second time and they were married The dream she told to no one but it made such a deep impression upon her hat she wrote it down When her lover returned to her and humbly con ested his great mistake and they were married she read to him the second dream which she had sealed and given into the possession of a friend at the time so that if it ever came to pass no one could say that she had imagined it II What can we say of prophetic utterances utter-ances which come from the mouth unintentionally intentionally as it were and are left as landmarks afterward to astonish the one who uttered them I know a physician of note who often makes what seems strange assertions and yet in so many case hare proven true that hjs friends came at lasttosayDoctorplease dont make any of yoursneeches about me I am afraid of them On one occasion he had a friend starting start-ing for Europe and when he shook lands with him he said Goodby old tellow take good care of yourself well never meet again Why do you say that You make me feel uncomfortable uncomfort-able was the reply Oh one of us will die thats all it may be you and it may be me II In the following spring the friend died in Rome of fever On another occasion this doctor was visiting visit-ing a brother physician in Chicago and when he left the house he shook his host warmly by the hand saying almost the same woidshe had used to his other friend In two weeks the Chicago man was dead Among his patients was a promising young man with whom he grew intimate inti-mate and who was fond of talking to the doctor of young lady to whom he was englt ezf One d yin discussing the affair the physician said Dont give yourself any uneasiness on that score Ben Miss C will never live to be your wife Why do vou say that You never saw her Why she is in perfect health She never had a day of sickness sick-ness in her life the young man answered an-swered Youll never marry her Bee if Im not right She died some I months later Do you wonder his friends said Doctor never make any assertions about me He told me he could not account for saying these things and many times bit his lip in annoyance after he had spoken them |
