I li.nl been always iHspuwl lo agree with

: Hlmkespeare's apothecary ami - throw (i physic to the dogs," but in .the end I j a I tvas obliged to apply to a physician for j v | advice. It was nervous prostration, | ( lie assured me, brought on by excessive ' bowks and get atvay to the country, i ^ "You will llnd the very tonic you re- j a !| quire in the kalt sea liree/.e at some ' n | j pleasant watering place," he said to I s [ me. On reaching my lonely room that y l evening I bunted up a letter receive I from a'U old college chain some days before, and this Is .what I read: • j "DEAH.CltAWfouit: I'vi-h-arl w;;li | cousidvfabie rASeerii that" your lieaiUf j has l>ecn failing you lately, and that a „ j too close application to your books is ,, I the cause. Surely this is an eminently i proper time to fulfill a promise so ' a often made to spend a few days with me. The invigorating sea breeze will j 1; !• build you up in 110 time. Come away j , then, froiii that wilderness of brick f | and mortar they call New York, and f s learn what happiness can be found in a ; t healthy country life. I shall not take „ nay for an answer, so don't compel me ]( to run up td town and. carry you away n Within ;ui hour a valise was packe 1 a and a letter written to the office stating t my intention of-takiiig a short vaca- i; tion. The anticipation of a long-wished- 9 ' for holidayand jts-eonsequeni -excite- - 1 ; ment rendered me nervous and restless, ; s and when I retired to bed it was to 0 remain awake and feverish through || , half the night. , t I Toward morning I grew more coin- t ! posed, and felt that . blissful sense of | rrstfulness which heralds a' peaceful t sleep. The transition from the reality ): of these wakeful hours into the "fantastic realms" of sleep must have |, ! been instantaneous. A palpable pres- j rate was in the room and bending over a me, and a voice was whispering softly, ' r "Leslie Crawford, I" am thy guardian j fairy! Thou hast been poor and ill and j lonely, aild I Imvo sorrowed with thee. : ( Tint the shadows of the past are clearlug, and a brighter future will open t. for thee to-morrow. Within a stone's | 1 throw of the friend's house thou nrt t about to visit thou will ilnd a treasure th.it will bring thee happiness." My ; former knowledge of fairies had been | confined to those of the species that in abbreviated skirts appear occasionally , in burlesque. But my* guardian fairy t • seemed a widely different t-etug. albeit , , endowed with all the attributes of a ( ■ sucetly -perfected womanhood. We ( I never notice tbe startling incongruities , of dreams until we wake from them, j 1. ltd to me there was nothing that was , . not serenely proper In this tall and , stately girl, dressed a la motU, bending , over tne as 1 slept. So vlridly was bcr | r corporeal presence impressed upon -my ' retina while I slept ttiat I drew her j portrait when I woke In these words: , A fairy clothed in all the " ripe and ( real" charms of a woman, with the | voluptuous form of a Juno, Die etbo- , real beauty of face of a St Cecilia. * , It was late In the afternoon when I 1 reached the end of iny journey by rail . and started on the half-mile walk to , my friend's home. I had' been there , some years before, and the road was 1 not altogether unfamiliar to me. We i were lads then, but now I would And 1 him a married man cultivating tha i domestic virtues and bneolhj tastes. I Ax 1 reached the gate I stooped to ; brush the dust from my shoes, and as 1 i did so a glittering object hidden in 1 Die grass, attracted my attention. With some curiosity I picked it up, as 1 .1 wondered was this the treasure trove 1 of which the sibyl of my dreams had : told ma It was a Maltese cross of ; gold, quaintly chased, and with a single 1 _ sapphire set in the center. Did I be- 1 licve In dreams? Not Uicn, Indeed, i Such belief 1 regarded as a superstl-j 1 tion, which time had consecrated into • j a religion for the ignorant Fred Llv- , 1 ,, ingston and his charming wife received ' me with a cordial warmth that was, very gratifying. I ; M Why, Crawford, you d» Indeed seem off ycur for*. But never mind, old1

fellow, tha little woman anil I shall 1 send yon back to New York with the blood in your cheeks agsii)." « "Indeed we shaB, Fred. And now 1 l'ni going to let you two talk over oM times while I look after dinner:" ' " Before you go, Mrs. Livingston, let ' roe show you a trinket I found at the ! gate below, and. which very' likrly is . " "Why. Fred." she acclaimed, "if it' , ain't Virginia's lost brooch, l'erhaps ; It ain't a valiviMe article, .Mr. Craw-! ford, but tho way my friend was put" j ' out over the loss, It must be ah old | , heirloom." r j "Or the gift of a lorer," her husband | added, dryly. "The young lady is a , school friend of my wife, and is spend- , I ing a little time with us. For your ] own sake, old man, I hope there's an . entanglement In New York, for if , ' you've come down here hcartwhnlo , you're a 'goner.' " t "Fred " : "1 beg your pardon, my dear: but , here is the lady returning from her walk. Come over, Crawford, and judge , [for yourself." 1 approached the window, and a cry , j of amazement almost escaped me. , Surely 1 could not mistake the grace- , : ful i>ose of that sliapely head, the l.>w, , jbro.nl brow, tho exquisite curve of the , ' j "the tender blue of the large, loving eve." ' K Yes. she was the fairy of Last night's 1 " ! dream. By an eifort I control:.- 1 my agi- , j tat ion as she entered the room. ' ! stores' it. Mr. CravXrd. Mis.

' , ! From njy childhood 1 had hiv-1 Mi- ) the shore, often alone, but rather i oftener with Miss Vane as a com- 1 1 panion. Even if her beauty had not ' : already enthralled me, the society of 1 j thi. gentle, cultured girl should have : and. us D.e days wore on. I realized ' • thai the lov--, of which I had only, read ' | hooks, awoke in my (mart at last a ! strange, unquiet joy. Fot what could this new-born jmssion bring- me but I sorrow? When this brief holiday was 1 our paths in life must necessarily j lie far apart. And yet, "how happy ' the, days of Thalaba passed by." For 1 the rest, when the parting came, surely ' I could learn to forget In mental toil this first sweet madness of my man- ' hood. My holiday I tad already been pro- j j longed far beyond thPilmit I at first j intended, but a letter IVeceived ou?. , afternoon from my law-partner summoned mo peremptorily aiitl at once to ! York. I found Yirgini^.yane ; down by the beach, where I sought her , sny farewell. There was a swift up- , ward glance and a sudden drooping of : the silken lashes— that pretty , trick of I had so often admired— when I told her 1 was leaving In the morning. " And the thought of getting hack to New York again makes you feel happier?" "I would have been happier if I never came here. 1 do not think tliat this summer vacation- by the seaside will tend to brighten the dull routine of my city life. May I not sometimes tbiiik of many a ramble by this shore when, night after night, I walk from a lawyer's office to a solitary heme, along the same Btreeta, the same avenue and meet the same frowsy women and unkempt children, and ever to be haunted by the memory of a dream ?" She listened to regrets that must seemed to her almost childishly petulant, in silence, and— well, Heaven only knows how it happened; but 1 1 ! had come to say farewell, and 1 remainqd to tell her that I loved her. I am not going to place on record here . the woids In which that declaration was made. It has long been a settled 1 conviction of mine that In the supreme ( 1 moment when a man wishes to appeai : 1 dignified In one woman's eyes,- he sue1 ceeds in being only ridiculous; and I i bd'ieve that "any young lady who has " 1 ever beeu made love to will snstain me . that conviction. For the first time 1 I had known her the faintest flush of 1 color warmed Virginia's cheeks, as she ! said: " Mr. Crawford, will you call it fe1 male vanity *r female Intuition If I • I knew you would tell mo this? Do I you believe in dreams? Why do I ask? I would say. Tho^night. before you i came here, I saw you "in a dream. 1 - dreamed you came to mo to restore . . this Maltese cross, but on one condi- • ! tion, that I ahoultl promise to be your ) wife, and the coincidence was startling • j enough to explain my agitation when I I met yon the following day." 1 Some moralist tells us that no secrets should exist between husband and I wife, and Fred Livingston once said to I I me, "It's a beautiful sentiment, Craw9 s

1 ford, but It don't work worth a cent-" I 1 Vlrginte Crawford never knew of ray.) own dream until she read this mami- j "It was real tnc.m to keep this nj gecfe'. from me," vf a* her only com-': meilt, "but Will anv of your readers,! , believe the story." 1 Cleveland'' Uaifv Kautiur. ; L'r&ident Cleveland rises at Half ! ' past seven o'clock, dresses and shaves j ' | himself, and is ready for breakfast at j eight. He breakfasts en famille, and 1 thirty minutes. Ills breakfast usually • ' consists Of oatmeal, beefsteak, coffee, cakes, and eggs. He is very fond 1 of fruit, and eats freely of it. He j leaves the breakfast table and goes directly to his office and begins work, j without any exercise whatever, writing au<l looking over papers until 1 tcu o'clock, when the callers begin to arrive. He then lias a slegeof a couple of hours wilh-lhe-slatesiueu Jind .office. ; seekers, which lasts until half-past one 1 r o'clock, when he is ready for hjs ! ! He eats this in less than ' breakfasts and dinners, it is eaten in • the private dining-room, and the whole ' family sit down together. President > Cleveland's lunch consistsof bread and 1 cold meats, a little fruit ami a After lie has eaten It he goes directly back- to his office and works steadily ■ until four. At tills time be goes out to drive, in company with his private I se, notary, Opl. Lament. Ho returns in ■ time IMF-dinner, which is ready at 1 sc-v , -/o'clock. He jjoes not dress for diiiifc^to the conventional style, except I I when Jiehas guests who will app<-ar in 1 evening dress. His private dinners are j plain. Wine'ifsiTvftt only when there ' euesLs nrosent who are accustomed 0

drinking wine with their meals. He is not so fond of beer as has been re- f ported bv— 4he newspapers, the total t White House consumption of this article during the pastlyear being not < more than two dozen bottles. The 1 'resident's daily dinner consists of five or six courses; first there is soup, then 1 dessert, fruit, and. after dinner, coffee. 1 docs not sit long at table, ami immediately on leaving it lie govs up 1 Into the corridors oft he second story 1 ot tbe White House and smokes a cicar. alter which he gocs back.to ids j work. President Cleveland never , smokes in his office, and the only smok- 1 cigar. He goes to bed about midnight, ami falls asleep as soon as his head | touches the pillow. His system is such 1 that six or seven hours' sleep is suffici- j en! for him. — LtppinooW* itttgazCne. la-anting Chlncc.
