THE clock struck three. For five hours he had been walking thus, almost without interruption, when he dropped into his chair.
He fell asleep and dreamed. This dream, like most dreams, had no further relation to the condition of affairs than its mournful and poignant character, but it made an impression upon him. This nightmare struck him so forcibly that he afterwards wrote it down. It is one of the papers in his own handwriting, which he has left behind him. We think it our duty to copy it here literally.
