She awakened her companion and related her vision, bat being of a practical na«ture, the listener yawned, went to sleep, and ho did the dreamier. On the third recurrence of the vision* iter companion -was once more- awakened to hear the same narration. Some time passed and )ltjt»e fair dreamer capne to Sew York. iSbe called at the office of a physician of her acquaintance, and was told by a gentleman visitor that the doctor would soon be in, and was requested to take a seat •She gazed at the gentleman in speecli-

HOW THE liED-HATRED GTRLS SHOULD DRESS. 'ow that rod-haired girls are in style, •we are receiving suggestions as to the way tboy should dress. A fashion •writer says: "Th*** three types of auburnnaireu womw*—brown-oy^d, blue-eyed and gray-eyed.

Now, I put on a bit of green ribbon, and the green snots tako your eye now a red one, ana the red spots-stand out. This gives a hint to blue-eyed girls who are not red-haired, and togirls with greenish gray eyes, with prominent, transparent corners, who can, by wearing a bluo dress, or blue rihljons, or turquoise jew «lry, enhance the blue of their ayes.

"Well, vou see, stranger, I used to think a great ileal as vou do. I had one hundred^and sixty acres of land and one vrtfe, but I didn't make much headway. There was too much work for opo man to attend to. Finally I took a second wife.

THE LATEST KISSING QAMEl New York Times. A Paris correspondent gives this ac* count of a pretty gaine of cards, how fashionable in that city: The participants were young ladies and gentlemen^ who sat on either side of the table. The cards wore dealt to each, and one hand settled the wager. The wager played for in this game lis that the lady oagentleman who gets the ace of hearts find can take a tries with it or beat it with another card has the option to kiss any lady or gentleman he or she inav select. If a lady is the winner of the successful trick, this option may be used or not, as she elect, and generally she does waive her right but if a gentleman holds the lucky card, of course he invariably exercises his right. The result was that a gentleman when' he held thei acte of hearts was sure to get it parsed if a ladv had it she always had it ta^en. It was quite a study to watch with what perfect sangfroid tlie gentleman stood up to receive the stake lie had won, and with what consummate grace the lady bent lier head-to one skfey so that her luekv .opponent, across, the table should receive his full pound of flesh, not lb mention the utter indifference of both to the presence of friend« or strangers sitting around. I do not know how the plavers felt, but the watching of a few Sands played was sufficleot to satisfy iue that it was but a poor game after all. How it came about I do not know, but I saw one gentleman win six games in rapid succession,jand kiss the same lady many times. That destroyed all the interest I had up to that point taken in the game. It satisfied me that ft was a game in which the cards could be So manipulated that a poor player or a beginner could bave little chance.

Charlie hadn't told me Where we W8re to go, and I rather liked being left-in ignorance, knowing no more than that we were being swept away to some little Paradise of our own—it might be an island of the Hesperides, or Crusoe's kingdom, or Eden itself. We stopped at a good many stations by the way that looked anything bnt Paradaisical but I saw everything through a glass, rosily, as I sat there demure ana mute, by Charlie's side. The shadows were growing short, and it was just noon, when

Of course I didn't, but of course be said I must have it, and Immediately started up. He wouldn't be five minutes, he said, and I mustn't move till he came back.

I nodded obedfenee, and" Mr.-Vail marched ont of the car, laavlng me to peer after him in the crowd and catch the last glimpse of, his strew hat vanishing down the street.

Everybody began to scramble their ban and bundles and canes together, and there was a rush among the few wbo romalnedmy fellow paasongeis.

Pretty soon I should begin to cry. for Icouldn stand it much longer and here I began to feel for my pocket-handkerchief, and that reminded me of my pocket-book a* a slight resource.

At this alarming discovery, a «kl moisture broke out upon my entire frame. A night passed under tho leoof the depot, crouched among ttiy little possessions, now loomed before me— unless I could deposit the same possessions# or pawn my diamond ring and my gold bracelets tor a flight's lodging and a ticket back to New York. I suppose the horror depicted on my countenance was a sufficient challange for inquiry. I don't know what an extreme it must have reached, but somebody appeared to find it moving, for a bertevtolent voice presently saluted my ears. "Are you waiting here for anybody, miss?"
I turned around with a gasp of alarni, which subsided, however, when I met an elderly face, spectacled, and benign in the extreme. ,, "Excuse me, miss," said the old gentlemati, in a sympathizing tone, "are you waiting for anyone?" »I-iI—yea, »ir,—I'm waiting «or—'

"Where are you going, my dear?" in-1 quired the first Samaritan, after a solemn pause of some minutes. "Idon't know," I answered faim^v "He didn't tell me he just said, whc*^v' went to get me souio lunch, that I wasi to move if the man said to change can for we wefo going through and I tolthe man so, but lie madame change."

looked queerer still when I answere faintly—: "He's got it—and—my money—and— oh, why don't ho come?"

"Pretty- bad buslness!-',*one,'Mthe men muttered aside to anotheiv "Sharp fellow!" dryly responded'a' second. And itben- there were somo antlstroplies of "What's tlife matter?" "It's a shame!' "Left her, did ho?" from a* nnaft crowd that had by this time started up-around me. "Well, now, just come iinhere and sit down," said niyold gentleman, paternally gathering up my bag* "and compose yourself, my dear, and we'll see what can be done. Don't cry-! it'll only flurry you, and won't do any good, you know. There, that's right!?' For I wiped my eyes, with the remnant of a sob, pulled my veil down, and was turning to follow nim. when, behold! as I swept the landscape o'er desperation#
wltli one last
look of desperation^ there' appeared Charlie—grey clothes,.and straw hat, and yellow moustache,—coming in tho distance, with a brown paper parcel under''each arm, "There he is!" I shrieked, dropping bag and parasol in my ecstacy, and rush'., Ing down the platform with extended arms. "There he is! Oh, cAll lilm, somebody—tell him I'm here! Make him look tills way!" "Where? Which? Whoro is 1io?"k cried half a dozen men, quite excitedly. "Him in the straw hat, with the bundles? Halloa, sir! Halloa? Stop lilm!" and three small boys aud one man started in pursuit.
PoorCharlW! There ho came, hurrying along in our' direction, rathor swirtly. it is true, but quite at his ease, and with a smiling fuce, when my four champions Brave chase.. And just as they 'uplifted their vbices, and just as Charlie's eyes, sweeping the surrounding scene, appeared to light upon them—just then did tlie locomotive behind which we had been sitting fifteen minutes before, and which had b«en backing and snorting, and advancing and backing againi after tl^o manner of traius, chose its tiino to set up a shriek and a violent 'ringing of the bell, and go to pnfl\ng.on
New York. And Charily, and then turned the locomotive, and
its way back to lie-first stared wildly around and cliasod ti« the three small boys and the man chascd him, tending the air with shouts- of '.*8tophim!"
But Charlie conldn^t.keep up. witlitho train very long, and the fmpotency of his efforts seemed to break upon him suddenly, after he had .run himself very hot and damp, and shed all the hot buns ,from his brown paper parcel .for twenty yards along the track. He turned and faced his pursuers like a man at bay, and figuratively speaking, thoy all fell upoir lam. "Stop there! where are you. going?" "Come back after your' lady, you scainn!" "Ain't you ashamed, of yourself?" shouted the small boy, in eestacy. "Wanted to run away, did you?. Didn't do it that time, old.fullorl!'' "What tho a do you want?" said Chariio fiercely—only i»o uuu»i tho wholo word instead of the initial. "Where's Sarah? Where's my wife?" "Thero she is!" roared a dozen voico^ with appropriate action of as many unwashed liands. "Ain't got rid of her so oasy yet!"
I will draw a decorous veil over the embrace tliat followed, and the profanities with which Charlie punctuated it, and the compliments exchanged by the populace, who evinced the wildest joy at what was supposed to bo the discomfiture of villainy. 1 will merelv observe that the whistle of tho ijoston train cut shori our little scene, aiuf that I was haulier
