A Dream that Frightened a Woman

Bath [Me.) Times. < A lady in Battf* was recently much alarmed by breaming tbat some one was holding her wrist. Vainly endeavoring to scream for assistance, she succeeded at last in whispering just loud enough to awaken herself. After a few minutes’ relief at being no longer under the influence of the dream, she became conscious that some one was really holding her left wrist, and all her strength was inadequate to release it. Whether to call her hostess or not was easily decided, for as terror rendered her as speachless as she had been before awakening. It could not be that any of her friends had seized her wrist in sport; it was too rigid a clasp, and had been continued some time, for her lefthand was cold and numb. But just as she should be able to speak in a moment she found the relentless grasp was that of her own right hand, and not easy to withdraw from its twin companion, so desperate had become its hold. - , - j
