In each man's soul there lives a dream
J-.it by a woman's eyes, ,
.Whose glance is like the tender gleam
That tnnlls the evening skies,
It is a dream that never faints
Though weal or wee befalls,
But haunts the heart and softly paints
A picture on its walls.
It is my dream at midnight,
And in the crowded mart,
That darling face
With gentle grace,
. The picture in my heart.
In each'man's heart there floats a voice
That speaks to him alone.
The voice of her, his spirit's- choice,
He longs to call his own.
Thedays may hasten like the wind,
Or lag with sullen feet,
Some day his wandering heart shall
. fm'
The face he longs to meet'
' It is in my dream at midnight,
Its dear eyes ne'er depart.
Oh, where is she,
1 ; My bride to be
The picture in my heart.
Oh, some hearts range the wide world
through .
. And trhough to find their mate,
And some amid the darkness rue
That they have met too late: j
A vvvstful glance betrays to each
i What neither dares to sigh; f
A weddedr bond forbids the speech
Thats uttered by the eye.
It is my dream at nydnight, . ".
jit makes my pulses start.
O, Fate be kind,
And. let me find.
The picture in my heart.

His Grat Equanimity Amid Trials And
' ' . Crises." '
General Horace 'Porter, in his
"Campaigning with Grant," in the
May "Century," say s: j While sitting
with him at the camp-fire late one
night, after every one else had gone
to bed, I said to him: "General it
seesTis singular that you have gone
through all the rough and tumble of
army service and frontier life, and
have never been provoked into swear
ing. I have never heard you utter
an oath or use an j imprecation."
''Well, some .how or other, I never
learned to swear,'' he replied. "When
a boy I seemed to have an aversion
to it, and when I became a man I
saw the folly of' it. I have always
noticed, tooT that- swearing hel ps to
rouse a man's anger; and when a man
flies into a passion his iadversary who
keeps cool always gets the better of
him. In fact, I could never see the
use 'of swearing.T think it is the case
with many feopls who swear that it
is a mere habit, and triat they do not
mean to be profane; but to say the
least it is a great waste of time." His
example in this respect was once
quoted in my hearing: by a member
of the Christian Commission to a
teamster in the Army of the Potomac,
in the hope of lessening the volume
of rare oaths with -winch he italicized
his language, and upon which he
seemed to be placing, his main reli
ance in moving his mule team out of
a mud hole. The only repiy evoked
from him was: -"Then thar's one thing
sartin; the old man never ' druv
mules."
General Grant never in any in
stance failed to manifest those traits
which were the true elements of his
greatness. ;He was i always- calm
amid excitement and; patient under
trials. Hejooked neither-to the past
with regret, nor to the future with ap
prehension1. When lhe could not
control he endured, and in every
great crisis he could 'convince when
others could not advise." His calm
ness of demeanor and unrtifled tem
per were often a marvel even to those
most familiar with him. In the midst
of the most exciting scenes he rarely
raised his voice above its ordinary
pitch, or manifested the least, irrata
bility. Whether encountered at noon
day or awakened from sleep at mid
night, his manner was always the
same; whether recieving the report of
an army commander or of a private
soldier serving as a courier or a scout,
he listened with equal deference and
gave it the same strict attention. He
could not only discipline others, but
he could discipline 1 himself. If he
had lwed jn ancient j days he might,
in his wrath, have broken the twelve
tables of stone: he would neverTiave
broken the laws which were written
on them. '
HIS WIFE'S SriKIT.
Oftn Visits Actor Jefferson and Sits on
His Knee. ,
DIRECTORY.
There is an inquiry as to whether
or not Joseph Jefferson, the Rip Van
Winkle olt the stage is a spiritualist.
He is. ;
Many intelligent men seriously con
tend that nearly all dramatic perform
ers of high rank are to a certain ex
tent insane; meaning thereby not that
they are maniacs, hut that their minds
are not normally inclined, and that
what are considered the best demon
strations of their genius are nothing
mrire thin mental fantasies. However
this may be it' is a rather singular
fact, although one not generally knon-n
that Edwin Boojth, was and Joseph
Jefferson is a confirmed Spiritualist.
It is not meant by this that they trem
bled on the precipice of that mistv be
lief, but that-one was and the other is
an entusiast upon the subject of that
creed. To such an extent is this true
that Joseph Jefferson frankly tells his
most intimate irierids about the spirit
of his first wife, Maggie Lockyer, vis-
------
iting him in a meterial form and sit
ting upon his knee. Booth even went
further than this and insisted that he
himself was a medium, and in that ca
pacity had frequently sat as the centre
of Spiritualistic circles, "Fraudelent
mediums," he often said to a friend,
"may fool me, but I can't fool my sell."
The first communication from , the
other world which he claims to have
received concerned the death of his
father. . The elder Booth made his
last appearance in New Orleans, as
Sir Edward Mortimer, in the play of
"The Iron Chest." He left the Cres
ent City for Cincinnati on the steam
boat J. H Crittenden, and during the
trip suddenly died. Edwin Booth
was then in San ran:isco. There
was no telegraph service in those
days, and the posta' service, was so
slow that it was six weeks before the
news of the tragedian's death reached
the GoJden Gate. Yet Edwin .Booth
claimed then, and claimed to the day
of his death, that at the very hour his
lather died, he, through his medium
istic powers received information of it.
