PLEASANT DREAMS.

"It alnt ev'rybody I'd pot to sleep in this room," aaid old, Mrs Jioka to the fastidious and extremely nervous yonng minister who was spending his fiwt night In B ,at her house. •' TLis hero room is foil of lacred associations to me," she went on. "My first hnsbaod died in that bed, with his head on them very plllers, and poor Mr Jinks died sittin' right in that very chair there in the corner. Sometimes when I come into the room In the dark, I think I see him sittin' there still. Bly own father di«i layin' on that lounge by the winder. Poor pa ! Ha was a speeritoalist, and be alius s»id he'd appear in this room again after ho died ; and sometimes I'm foolish enough to look for him. If yon see anything of him to-night, you'd better not tell me ; for il'd be a sign that there was something In apeeritnalism, and I hate to think that. My son by my first man fell dead of heart disease right where yon stand. He was a doctor, and there'* two whole skeletons In that closet that belonged to him; and half a dozso skulls in tha lower drawer. Well, good night, and pleasant dreams."
