fluent.
Writing of dreams and their fulfilment, a
correspondent of the Si, Louis Globe -Demo-
crat relates thln actual incident :
We were eating breekfa •t one morning,
when our nearest neighbor, the miller's wife,
came in. She was pale,and excited, and to
our great astonishment she at once told us
that her husband would be drowned tI at af•
ternoon. She said :
"Only last night I dreamed that my i7 us -
band was drowned in the mill -race, and that
a man, riding a white horse, had come about
dusk, and told me the news. So impressed
was I with the dream, that I warned my•
husband not to go near the mill to -day,
and I told him my dream, but ho only
laughed at my fears, and said that we no
longer lived in dark ages."
We thought at firat that she must be
crazy, but at last she no far convinced the
folks that she was not, that they consented
to have me stay with her during the day,
and I accompanied her to her home, she
muttering all the way :
"I warned him, but he only laughed at
me, I know he will never return home,"
As evening came on, her anxiety increas-
ed. The approaohing darkness seemed to
her the shadow of death, and her face grew
paler as the last sun -tinted cloud in the
West gave way to the all -ruling twilight,
Although I put no faith in the woman's pre-
diction, yet her strange murmuring had had
an effect upon me, and it was with some-
thing almost like disappointment that I saw
the night close in, and no messenger appear.
For I was young, then, and fond of the ex-
citing and marvelloua, without stopping to
inquire the cause. And so it was with a
sudden shock that I again looked out of the
window, more carefully this time, and saw
a white horse come galloping over the hill
at its utmost speed. The woman saw my
emotion and quickly flew to the window.
Down the short hill, over the atone bridge
in the hollow, and up the long slope to the
house, we watohed it come, together, and it
would have been hard to tell which was the
meat excited ; for although no personal feel-
ings moved me, yet I was in a state of the
utmost uncertainty as to the outcome, while
the woman, although agitated by the ter-
rible grief, yet had not a doubt as to what
the message would be. And it was no sur-
prise to either of us, to see the man stop at
the gate and walk slowly up the avenue
leading to the house.
The lady met him at the door. As I
watched her standing there in the twilight,
swaying back and forth in her agony, with
her hand on the door knob for support, I felt
a great throb of pity at my heart, and at the
same time a certain awe for the two who
were playing so great a part in the drama of
death,
The fact hat the news had been expected
all day, and had been foretold in a dream,
which I knew of only as belonging to the
mysterious past of King Arthur and Frois-
cart's Chronicles, placed the characters be.

the cold wind which came in through the
open door, had carried me back hundreds of
years, ani placed me in a different age.
Even the calm, prosaic farmer, with his
snow-white hair, and flowing beard, seamed
like some old seer, as he passed his hand
over his forehead, and tried to collect his
scattered thoughts, The silence became
terrible,
The pale -faced sufferer was growing impa-
tient.
"Speak 1" she said, ""I can bear it now as
well as any other time,"
And then the farmer looked up.
"Ah, yea ; I remember, I remember, now,
madam," and his voice was low and meas-
ured ; "`Madam, your husband wants the

Then he turned and rode away as s wlftly
as he name.

Bo -Peep.
That's whata lady, sojourning fora while
in the Bavarian Tyrol, called the pretty
herd girl that she learned to love upon
slight .acquaintance. Bo peep's herd was
not composed of sheep, however—only cows.
I have no doubt you would consider her
life a dreary one—sleeping, eating, dream-
ing, all through the summer, with only
cows for company, But upon the moun-
tain -side, where the hard wee gathered, she
had one compensation for her isolation—
all was so pure and lovely that the "trail of
the serpent" was entirely forgotten,
While she watehed her herd she was
away from all tumult and surrounded by
scenes of inexpreeaibloloveliness. The sun-
shine bathed the lovely hills, The Alpine
fl ewers starred the mountain side. The
blue sky smiled above her and the faint
echo of the church bells in the valley be-
low seemed like voices from another world.
One summer day the lady above alluded
to undertook, without informing hen friends,
to climb the mountain alone, in search of a
rare flower that she desired for her collec-
tion, She had the misfortune to drop her
a'ponstoek, to slip and fall, badly spraining
her ankle, so that she could not rise, Even
in her pain ahe enjoyed the place of her
rent, Noble trees guarded her, and a gentle
wind fanned her with its low aweet breath.
But after awhile the pain grew worse, and
as twilight approached, she fairly sobbed
aloud. What should she do ? Must she lie
there suffering all night? Why did not her
friends come in search of her? "But I de-
serve it all," she said ; "I'd no business to
wander off alone." She called aloud with
all her strength. Far above her the herd -
girl was listening.
"What is that sound ?" she questioned
herself ; but only the murmur of the moun-
tain stream answered her. ""Hark ! I hear
it again, Is it the wind stirring the tree
tops ? Or can it be a bird's call ?"
Very soon she became positive it was
neither—it sounded more like a human
voice in distress.
"Come, Dolly," she called to her faith-
ful bell -cow, "we look up the loat cowa—
we must treat the lost human traveller as
well,"
With Doily she walked down the moun-
tain and plunged into a belt of woods, call-
ing : "We're coming, coming, coming."
Her call received a quick glad response,
Back and forth rang the words like chimes :
"Here, hear," and "Coming, coming," until
at last before the fallen lady knelt the herd
girl --a vision of beauty, with her fresh,
glowing cheeks, her bright eyes and her
Tyrolean hair, garlanded with A'pine blos-
soms.
"You're hurt, dear heart," she said, pity.
ingly, taking the lady's hand within her
pretty brown one,
"Yes ; I've sprained my ankle, and don't
know what to do, " came the anewer,
wearily.
"But I do," the herd -girl said decidedly.
"Put your arms around my neck, and dear
old Dolly will carry you up the mountain,"
" But 1 am too heavy for your young
arms," expostulated the lady. .
"Try me and see. You are a hothouse
flower, fair and frail, and I am a mountain
blossom, strong and sure," she said, cheer-
ily.
Very soon the ""hothouse flower" was on
the back of the boll -cow, riding slowly up
the mountain, while the "mountain Leos-
aom," strong and sure, walked by her side,
aupporting the bruised limb as best she
could,
Arriving at the herd•girl's tent, the girl
lifted the lady from Dolly's back as gently
as if she had been a child, and laid her
down upon a •sort of hammock•.bed, No
one could have tended the spraned ankle
more gently or efficaciously than .did the
herd -girl. She bathed it with a liniment
composed of mountain herba, and ban-
daged it with strips torn from the whlteat
of aprons.
All night long the lovely girl -nurse bent
over her patient in tireless watching, al-
though the lady protested against it, as it
was entirely unneceasary. *Toward morn-
ing hostess and guest both fell asleep, with
their faces both together and their halide
interlocked.
At early dawn the lady was ahnost sorry
to see several of her party coming up the
mountain after her, Thay began to utter
profuse expreasiona of sympathy when they
were told that she had sprained her ankle,
but she only laughed as she answered
""I would suffer the same pain again will-
ingly for another bit of such sweat experi-
ence as I have had. I did not find the flow -
era for which I was looking, but I found
the eweetoat mountain bloeaom in all the
Tyrols—my strong, sweet, tender-hearted
Bo-peep, who in her quiet way is following
in her Master's steps."
