Four Dreams.

.*. The evening shades were falling over a deserted battle-field; the victory was won and four soldiers camped in a lonely corner were enjoying a tardy meal. Seated on the grass in front of a large fire, before which a few slices of lamb were cooking, the red light cast a strange shadow around, and the pale flicker revealed many sleeping their last sleep. The soldiers were laugh ing boisterously, scarce noticing the glazed eyes fixed on them. The day's work had been severe, and the living were resting, not knowing what the morrow might bring. Death and night were spreading their wings over the blood-stained earth where terror and silence were standing side by side._ Their feast ended, Gneuss began to sing ; his deep voice sounded hoarse as it fell on the desolate and mournful air; the song so joyous on his lips echoed but a sob; astonished at the strange accents, he began singing with redoubled ardour, when a piercing cry, issuing from the shadows, disturbed the little group. Gneues was silent and with a troubled expression said to Elberg : "Go see which corpse is awakening." Elberg went, armed with a sword and a, lighted torch. His companions could just perceive the outline of his form as he beat over the dead, but he soon disappeared. " Clerian," said Gneuss, after a short silence, "the wolves are about to-night ;go look for our friend." And Clerian went, and was soon lost in the darkness. Gneuss and Flem, tired of waiting tor the return of the wonderers, rolled themselves in their cloaks and lay down by the smouldering embers. Their eyes weie just closing, when the same dreadful cry rent the air. Flem rose, walked silently to the spot from whence issued the sound, and was soon lost in the gloom. Gneuss sprang to hisfeet, terrified at the sight of the" black «ulf where the agonized gurgle raug, llu threw a few dried leaves on to. the burning logs, hoping that the brightness would dissipate his tears. The flame rose, shedding its light in a ghastly ted circle on the ground ; in this circle the shrubs looked unreal, and the dead seemed roused by invisible hands. ■^Gueuis' tciror increased ; he shook the lighted brunches andstampedoutthe flames. As the thick shadows f«ll around him once more he shuddered, fearing to be again overtaken by the death-shout. He could not rest. He sat down, then rose again to call liia companions, but the sound of his own voice made him shrink and fear that it had attracted the attention of some sur rounding corpses. Suddenly the moon appeared, and Gneust trembled to seeitsheddiugitspalebeamsovei the battlefield. Might no more concealed its horrors. The plain, strewn with dead and dying, eeomed to extend under the shroud of white light, aud this light seemed to give an unearthy touch to the scene. Gneuss, now thioughly roused, wondered whether be could ascend the mountain and extinguish the pale night torch. In his excitement he thought the dead must rise and speak to him now that they could see him so plainly. Their perfect calm was terrible, and expecting every moment to be overtaken by some dread catastrophe, ht closed his eyes. But as he was standing there a strange heat touched his left bed He stooped aud saw a thin rivulet of blood flowing past nis feet, leaping over the stones causing a gay murmur. It came out if the shade, meandered in the light of the pale moonbeams, then fled and returned tc the darkness like a snake, in its tortuous windings. Gneuss c-ould not remove hU eyes from the tide of flowing blood. He saw a swelling slowly, and visibly getting larger ; the rivulet became a peaceful strean: that a child could have easily leaped over ; the stream became an ever-increasingtorrent, bursting over the ground and throwing up a red foam on all sides ; the torrent became au immense flowing river. The river was ever carrying away the dead, but a cold shiver ran over him aa he saw that it was supplied by the blood run ning from their wounds. Gneuss kept moving backward from the pvcr-irioreasing tide : he could no longei distinguish the opposite bank, and the vallej was cnunged into a lake. Suddenly he was stopped in his course ; i cluster of rocks impeded his flight. He soon felt the waves leaping round his knees, and the dead drifting on, insulting him in theii course, each one of their wounds becoming a blood-stained mouth to scoff at his fears. The dreaded sea, ever increasing, now,touched his waist. He made a final effort, by clinging to the cracks in the rock ; but alas i the rock gave way, and the tide covered his shoulders. The moon pale and sad watched the sea where herrays were not reflected. Thelighi floated heavenwards ; this immence sheet of shadowy aad clamorou"i blood seemed to be the entrance to t ome great abyss. The waves ever ascending, touched and covered with fheir red foam the lips of the tortured Gnouss. 11. At dawn Elberg returned :ho -woke Gneuss, whom he found fleeping with hi? head pillowed on a stone. " Friend," s:iid he " I was lost in the shrub, and sitting down to rest at the foot of a tree, >leep overtook me, and my soul was troubled by strange visions, (he remem brance of which disturbs my waking thoughts. " The world was in its infancy ; the sky was one eternal smile. Earth a virgin still, was booking in May's rich sunbeams ; each blade of grass was ripening and surpassing in beauty the finest oaks ; the trees were bursting into gorgeous leaves and fruit totally unknown to me. The sap was ever flowing through earth's deep reins, and in its abun dance drifted into the r-c'sses of rocks and gave them life. " The horizon ro«e cilm and smiling in the distance Nat ure waking from its sleep, as a child knrlt and thanked God for his light; it spread out its arms towards heaven to give praise for its songs and perfumes, so graceful and so sweet that my mind was overwhelmed with the divine impression. Earth, gent'e and prosperous, engendered without p\in. Fruit trees sprang out of every corner, the roads were hedged with fields of ripe com, where to-day plains of thistles and thons would vise. The air was not laden with the weight of human sorrow. God was alone working for his children. " Man. like the birds, fed on food sent by God, gathering fruit on hii v ay, drinkinp the water from the cooling spring, and sleep ing under a shelter of leave?, whose lips seemed to shudder at the sight of flesh, not knowing the taste of ■ blood, relishing only the dew-sprinkled and sun-ripened fruits. "So man remained innocent, and his very innocence anointed him king over all living things. Farth had assumed a new touch of purity, and was cradled in supreme peace. Birds flew no more at the siglit of man to far-stretching forests ; all God's crea tures lived together under one supreme law —goodness. '•'I was walking with them, enjoyirg their perfect nature and feeling myself growing stronger aud better under their united influ ence. I felt the delicious breeze so pure after the laden breath of earth. " As the angel of my dreams watched beside me, my eyes strayed to a forest. I saw two men following a narrow, shady path. The younger took the lead, sineiug gayly and smiling at tbe beauty all around ; now and ngain he turned to smile on his companion, aud the smile made mo guess that they were brothers. But tbe lips and eyes of his companion did not respond; he fol lowed the youth with a look of hatred, and hastened his stop to keep up with him, " I saw him cut. down a branch and make it into :i rough club; theu ho hastened his step, fearing to lose sight of his victim, and hiding his weapon behind bim. The young man, who had been resting, rose at his ap proach and kissed him on the forehead in welcome. " They set out once again on their walk. The day was drawing to a close. The youth lurried on as he perceived in the distance the sun gradually sinking behind a hill. The man thought the youth was trying to escape and lifted his club, His younger brother turned with a happy speech on his lips, the club felled him to the ground, crushing his face, from whence gushed a stream of blood. "The first blade of grass it touched shuddered, and shook the drop on to its mother earth; earth trembled and was startled; a great cry of repugnance was wrung from its breast, and the sand in the road turned into a foaming red current. " The scream from the wounded youth seemed to scatter God's creatures tar aud wide ; they fled into deep and dark places, the strong attacking the weak. I saw them in the gloom polishing their hooks and sharpening their claws. The great work of the brigandage of the creation has begun. " Then the eternal tide passed before me. The sparrow flew at the swallow; the swal low in its turn seized the gnat, the gnat sucked the blood from the corpse. From the worm to the lion was one great insur rection. Nature, touched at this sight, was convulsed. The pure lines of the hori xon were effaced, the dawn and sunset gave iorth blood-stained clouds ; tbe rippling of the waters seemed one prolonged sob, and the leaves of the trees fell faded to the ;rotind ere they bloomed." 111. Scarcely had Etberg finished his tale >ylien Cleriau appeared, and, seating him ;elf between his two companions, said to hem:

"I know not whether, what 1 Ba \v»,, n reality or a dream ; the vision was ailn 5 ■ the truth, and truth so like a vision hke I " My steps led me along a road that compassed the earth ; it was stuclde vJfc towns, and crowds followed its cote » stream of red foam flowed onwards »«i A feet were soon blood-stained, Ca'rew "^l wandered on amidst this mass of lmm ' beinga, increasing as we went and'",. , sights met my gaze, lathers oiferi n VJ[ U?1 daughters in sacritice to feoine aven*iJ, r the fair heads bent under the touch nf gOd< and fainting [at death's kiss. ■ TrmVrl maidens seeking death to escarp ftE*?? hllß ful kisses, the tomb alone eiondSl'S? virginity.

Darkneisj creased around me until I could scarcely perceive the barren plain?, the fdriaken rocks, the mountains towering to tM'skies the valleys becoming great gulfs, the'itones turning into hillocks, and the furrows: ii,to yawning abysses. ■'■;'i "i " No sign of life was there, no green thing visible, nothing but rocks, desolated rocks whose summits, barely touched by- the' wavering light, made the gloom appeaimore terrible in this valley where the road' led and where my footsteps echoed ml; tk' deathly silence. . ' "A sharp turn brought me to a erjiastlv sight. Four mountains leaning heavily forward formed a basin. Their liaes straight and stiff likethe walls of dCyclo. pean city, formed in '{heir centre1 aa immense well, and this well whetV the stream terminated gradually increased the the thick and tranquil sea that rested so peacefully in its bed of rocks, giving Staple hue to the clouds. " I knew that this abyss must receive the blood of the murdered; that dropsfroui1 each wound had gone to swell the Bur^e of' this flowing sea." ;;' " Stop," said Gneuss. " the torrent!«av this night went to feed thai cursed like." " Struck with terror," continued Clerian,1' I stepped to the brink, and saw that, the tide nearly reached the summit of the rjockk A voice from the abyss spoke to me : 'The river is ever increasing, and will continue to increase until it reaches its utmost height, then itjwitl over flow into the plains; the mountains will give way, and tired earth will soon be covered and flooded. New. born babes will be drowned in their father's blood.'" r. ( j " The day is at hand, friends," saidGnenss; " the waves were high last night." .".', IV, The'sun had risen ere Clerian had finished his tale ; the trumpet was sounding to:rally the scattered troops. The three soldieis arose, and, shouldering their weapons, moved away, casting a last lingering iook at the lire, when Plerri ap peared, footsoi c and travel-stained. ; ■' "Friends," said he, I " know not whence I|come, so rapid has been n.y flight, long .: hours did I wander till the noise of ray foot irteps rocked me gently, and I fell into a otrange and restless sleep, never slackening my speed till 1 came to a lonely hilL1' The sun poured down upon it and Ecoifched the ground, while I hurried on to attain the summit. " And as I fled a[man appeared toiling tip the path ; a crown of thorns wa? on his head, a heavy burden on his_ back, drops of biood were standing on his forehead, and his .-_ tottering steps could scarcely reach their < goal. , . ■ ' ' [ " I grieved to see his agony and I waited for him ; he was carrying a cross, and I saw by bis crown and purple robes'that' he ires ; a king, and 1 despised him, and.rejoiced over his sufferings. • f "Soldiers followed him, hurrying his faltering steps. At last when they came to a stand-still on the highest pinnacle of the mountain, they divested himof his gaioients and nailed'him to the accursed tree. The victim smiled sadly as he stretched out his hands and crossed his feet ready for the murderous deed. He turned his face heaveni waids; tears flowed slowly down his cheeks, tears which he felt not, and which were lost in the resigned smile on his lips, " The cross was soon erected, and;(hen the weight of the martyrs body enlarged the wounds and broke his boriea, until he shuddered again and again, aud sought strength from above, ; " The sight liveted me to the spot, and as I looked 1 said : ' That man is no king.' " Then in my great pit}, I- cried.totbe soldiers to kill him. " A liunet perched on the cross was sing ing a sad strain that caught my_ ear and made me think of the weeping virgin, ' '"Blood is feeding the flame, said the linnet, 'blood colours the flowers, blood shades the clouds. I alighted on the earth, and my claws werc^stained, and as I touched the trees my wings grew'crimson. . _ ; " ' I met a just man and followed him, and having bathed ma pure spring I thought to find rest on his shoulder from the if^ked ness of the earth. ' .._"_ " ' My only song to-day is a sob on Gol gotha's heights for one who carried me safely through many dangers. He came to purify, and he is doing it with the crimson tidefrom his own wounds. " ' 0, Jesus ! I cry, when shall I find thy brother to take me under his sheltering wing? Ah! when will thy son come to : wash my wings in thy sprinkled blood.?' " The victim listened to the linnet'sEong, Death was hovering over him, but his,look was 'one of gentle reproach, a ;serene and ._, hopeful smile passed over his face. . " Then with au unearthy shout, he gave ■ up the ghost; his head sank, the linuet fled the sky'darkened, the earth trembled. " I still ran on and on in my sleep; daivn had come, the valleys awoke smiling under their morning mists. The rain of the pre ceding evening gave a fresh touch to the green leaves, but the road was still hedged with the thorns that had impeded my course the night The same hard stones stopped my way us* the snakes hissed out their warning note. The just man's Wood had flowed in vain for the world. > > ' • The linnet passed on its way telling us tale as it went: "'ln vain'liave Isoughtacleansing stream to wash my blood-stained wings. Look at earth ! it is no better for the sacrifice, and l have only to record the burden of one more murder."' The clarion now rang loudly. ... " Friends " said Gneuss, " we are duvMg a wicked trade ; our sleep is disturbed cy the phantoms of those we have slain; " My rest, like yours, was disturbed by a ghastly nightmare ; I have been massacring for thirty years,, aud am tired of it. J^1"" ; leave-our brothers, and go into the country \. together and till the ground,. I know,ot a valley where the plows are idle for want oi hands." , " Such is our wish," replied his compai' ions, i The soldiers buried their weapons, bathed themselves in the cooliug stream, and arm in arm they started on their new road.— "EmileZola"

By the kind invitation of Professor Wallen burg and Dr. Grant, the editor o£ this journal, ii ir company with tho editor of the Saturday Adver tiser, viiited their consulting rooms, at th( x Cri'orion Hotel, yesterday morning. The firei , eaaohhown was that of a Miss Wnite, age 1) '• years, the daughter of a settler at Oamaru, whe ' haa been totally blind for years. This young 0 lady has been under lha treatment or tneßC 1 clever oculists for three days, and wonderful to ri say, her, eyesight has been perfeotly restored. The father cf ttio girl assurod us that no hac placed her under tho care of several mcaioi. men who had failed to do her any good, despite the money lie had lavished upon hur. The noxi was a ca«o of Mi.s Hughon, a Duuedin resident who stated that »ho had been deaf for a period of ovurthreo years. jur»ngu to Buy, she hat only been under treatment tor eight days, ami her hearing has been fully restored. T»ns fortunate girl is nearly in ecstacies over hei good fortune. The ne»t subject under trotU ment was a labourer, immed PatrioK Francis, working ut Logan's Point, who informed us thai latterly he was Btruok in tho right eyowith a ktono. by -which ho IOBt his sight, and of lato his left cyo has boon materially alf'cctod by tho blind cno; but, thanka to the skill of Frofessor Wallenburg, ho n»« now re covered tho sight of his two oyea, and ianble tc discern tiio Binallest print. Herman Schultz, ol Hyde, was tho last patient introduoad. He stated that ho had been tolully deaf fcr yean), and that he had boon only under treatment fora tewdays, and now ho could hear plainly, lhesc gentlemen have nunuroua other cases undei treatment. Tho csbos tuat ivoluio instanced snould bo Buflhient to remove any douuc from tlio most scotiticiI. All the patients tout are now under treatment have beeu tampered with by tho medical profession with no satisfactory reauU, and this, in tho major poriiou of cases, cuuuus inoio aggravation, and makes clluct'ial cure more dillioult. Tho übove oases o.ea-rly iliu>trate that Dr. Grant and Profosaar VYal lonbuig are, without doubt, what they profess to be—Oculists, Aurislß, and Specialists, we w..uld strongly recoinniond those who are either ullhcted with blindnoßß or deafness to consult the»o ircntlomon at once, aa their slay huio is Hinited.-Kvenliig Tribunu, Duuedin, Sciitembor 21th, 1879. Wo cun eonscicntioualy recommend those Builorini; from acafnvsa or other ailmants that Dr. Gra >t has made a BU'Jolul study of, to pay him a visit, when if curable patients, they may o.rtuiiily expect reliot. An instance came under our notice on Thursday, in the easo of a man named Charlos Swanson, whohas been very deaf for three years, but. aftor tan days' tro.tmont, cun now hoar perfectly oven the lowest whispor. Tho euro is a rather remarkub'o one, as he has boon under the care of many medical men, but has received no boneilt wnutever from their treatment. "NowZealander," Deoembur 27th, 1879. Mr Krnest D'Egvillo Mlohau called at our ofllco jontofday, and atatod that ho had been blind with his right eye all his lifetime, Hear ing about Dr. Grant and Professor Wallenburir, tho uculmta, who uru now on a visit to this city, he determined to givo them a trial, lie had only been under Dr. Grant's trcitnvnt ten or oloven days when he found th»t ho could see lar^o objects at pome diatanca. Mr Mlchau suited that ho had tieen untior tbo treatment of some of tho best medical men at home, but had not, received iho slightest benefit! We are at all tiniO9 chary of aceoptlriK details of " Wondorful cures," but tho )Ouiik man who oilled at onr otllce appeared to be telling the truth, and was exceedingly xratotul to Dr. Grant for tho relief ho liaa already oxperienced.—"New Zealand Times," 25th December 1875)., AN ACKNOWLKDGMENT. TO THE EDITOR. Sin,—You will much oblige me, as well a3 benefit tho public in general, by inserting Inyour columns regarding tho cure olFoctod on my right eye, which was totally blind when I placed myself under tho treatment of Doctors Grant and Wallcnburg. I also found myself losing tho sight of tho left oyo. I have now recovered my sight, and am going to work to-morrow, Out of gratitude to those gontlemon, allow mo to thank them, and hopo all those suffering from tho oyo" may avail thomselTca of their skill, —I »m. &c:, Patrick Francis, \Vltncs3—W.

Gontlomon,—Allow n o to thank you for tho wondorful euro you havo porformed in my case, I havo been deaf for twenty years In the left ear and twelvo years In tho tight. I p'need myself under your care on the Cth of Octobor. This day lam ablo to hear tho ticking of a watch at a considerable dlstanco from my oars, and am qulto well.

Grant is also Specialist in tho Diseases of W omon and Children. Dr. Grant hai rocontly elTectod a very remark able euro in tho case of Mrs D. KvanS, of Kumara, who has been under his troatmont for eafnoss sinco the 14th February lost. Mrs Kvans has been doaf in bath oars for a very long line—no less than thirty years—her aflliction having boon caused by a fever, from which sho sufl'ered[severely. Sinco that timo sho has been almost totally doaf, for sho could only hear tho oudest sounds. Sinco she has beon undor I>r. Grant's treatment hor hearing has gradually improved, so that now she can hear plainly oon vcrtsation in an ordinary tone of voico. She will return in a few days to Kumara perfostly well, and in possession of tho full faculty of which sho ias beon so long deprived.—" West Coast Times," 10th March, 1880. One of tho oniployds in tho Public Works )fllca here has sent us tho following testimonial to the bkIH of Dr. Grant. Ho Bays:—" I wish to lot yo ■ know that Dr. Grant has greatly im proved tho hearing of c-ne ot my ears, tho mem brnno of which was injured somo six yonrs ago. I may adl tlmt two surgeons whom I consulted a short timo ago considered tho oaso incurable" Dr. Grant has also bson very Bucosssful in several diiilcuit cases ot disease ot tho oye " Hokilika Times," 23rd March. 18S0.
