bnr. h«n,;«fl.jliisb Bio bidcasdib THE PHILOSOPHY OF DREAMS.!

Or Cantor delivered a lecture a short time -siitce, ity the course of which he mentioned some curious circumstances respecting dreams. 1 le said that the succession of ideas which had passed through our minds when awake were remembered and recalled during sleep, and that ; was jjjhflt. was calle.(T dreaming. Dreads generally topjt plaeie wheii .th|e circula- tion of the blood was impeded,' Our memory •was much more distinct and strong when we dreamed than when we were awake. It wa# because, when we were asleep, the association pfthe ideas went pn withoutbeing d*sturbed or counteracted, and there was no controlling power over it., He would say a few words about the most extraordinary of all classes of dreams, namely, prophetic dreams, in which the future is revealed to the dreamer. They were all acquainted with the facts connected with the death of Mr Perci val, the Prime Minister. [When that statesman was still alive, a gentleman in the country, of the name of Williams, dreamed that he Was standing in the lobby of the House of Cohmions, and saw Mr Perceval enter, and Instantly a man lev- elled a pistol at him. Mr Williams told his wife, who thought little dPit, and his friends •ailed him a fanatic. A week after, however, the news arrived that Mr Petceval had been murdered in the very same way the gentlemam had dreamed. A very remarkable instance had occurred to the late Sir John Stuart.

When young, and ill of the typhus fever, he dreamed of a dark-haired and dark-eyed young lady, with wjioraheiell iu love. Years after- wards he went to the Continent, and there niei with the identical party, and it Was to her care that he oWOd the complete restoration of his health; and hemarried her. There was a great number of Such dreams recorded. The ancients "paid great attention to dreams. A decree Wa's published !Under Augustus,, as commanding; every one who had dreamed a dream,' to report the same to the government. Tf waS'ceftain that the mind possessed’some- times in dreams an'a pfiori knowledge which was nighty refndrka'ble. It Was Sometimes the same just the moment 'before death. There was indeed Serftitural athorify in favour of dfeams.' But the fulfilment of dreams was bpi| nfeaps' astonishing, generally s^eakin'g.

HOME AFEECriTOX'. ,,’J^he heart has memories that cannot die".

They are memories of home, early home. ,T%fe tec magic in the very sound. There if .the old tree tinder which the light-hearted hoy swung in many a summer day—yonder by which he learned to! swim—there the house in which h,e .hhew a parent’s love, apd found a parent’s protection—nay there is the roqtp^i. which he romped w}th brother or .sis- ter, long since, alas I laid in the yard to which fre Twtet soon b^gathereii, 6Vef^ia|hwed by ^on.oid qbarch, whether wjtha j<nmus troop hhe, Jymaeltehq has often fellowed his parents,
