A STRANGE VISION.

A lady who is a resident of the intsricr of Pennsylvania was travelling in Europe, and while staying in London she dreamed one night that she was visiting prominent points of interest in that city in reguUr tourist fashion. But wherever she went she waa met by a peculiar-looking man, who invariably asked her the same question: “Are you ready?" Go where she would and do what she liked, in every scene in her dream she met the same man and he always asked her hie ever recurring question. She was considerably impressed by this dream, and remarked fro the lady fro whom she bad related it that she never should forget the face of the man who had bo persistently appeared before her. Time went on. She returned to the United States, and went to pay a visit to one of the large cities, stopping at one of the most noted hotels in the place. She was lodged on one of the upper floors, and went down to breakfast the morning after her arrival. At the conclusion of her repast she went to the elevator and entered it, with the purpose of returning to her room. She was the only person in the elevator, and the man in charge, before starting it, turned to her with the question, "Are you raady”# Struck by these words she looked at the man and and instantly recognised the hero of her singula: dream, She was seized with a vague and causeless terror and cried : " Let me out!—you must let me out I" The elevator being already in motion no release was possible until. she reached the first floor. Sic hurried out of it and closed the door, the man started it to descend and instantly the elevator and its unfortunate guide fell with a crash to the cellar. The poor man was instantly killed, and the strange dream had probably saved the dreamer from a similar fate.—Philadelphia Telegraph,
