A Wondrrfnl Story.
Tho following wonderful story appear
ed several years ago, from tho pen of an
unknown author :
Tho other morning, at tho breakfast
table, our friend, tho Hon. John C. Cal
houn, seemed very much troubled and out
of spirits. You know he is altogether a
venerable man, with a hard, stern, Scotch
Irish face, softened in its expression
around tho mouth by a sort of sad smile
which wins the hearts of all who converse
with him. His hair is snow white. Ho
is tall, thin, and angular. Ho reminds
you much of Old Hickory. That ho is
f honest, no ono doubts ; he has sacrificed
i to his fatalism his brightest hopes of po-
, litical advancement has offered up on
tne snnno ot that necessity which he wor-
ships, all that can excite ambition even
the Presidency of the United States.
But to my story. The other morning
at the breakfast table, where I happened
to do present, Calhoun was observed to
gaze frequently at his right hand, and
brush it off with tho left in a hurried and
nervous manner. He did this so often
that it excited attention. At length ono
of tho persons composing the breakfast
party-4iis name, I think, is Toombs, and
he is a member of Congress from Georgia
took upon himself to ask the occasion
ot Mr. Calhoun s disquietedo.
" Does your hand pain you V he asked
lo this Mr. Calhoun replied, in a rath
er nurnea manner :
" Pshaw ! It is nothing Only a dream
1 had last night, and which makes me
see rternetuallv a lartro black snnt lika
. i v o i -
an ink blotch upon the back of my right
liana. An optical illusion, I suppose.
Of course these words excited the
curiosity of the company, but no one ven
luioi ii-btrg the details of this singular
dream, until '1 oombs asked, quietly
"What was your dream like? I'm
not very superstitious about dreams, but
sometimes they havo a great deal of truth
in them."
" But this was such a peculiarly ab-
sured dream," said Mr. Calhoun, again
brushing the back of his right hand ; how
ever, if it does not intrude too much on
tho time of our friends, I will relate it to
you."
Of course the company were profuse
in their professions of anxiety to know
all about the dream. In his singular,
sweet voice, Mr. Calhoun related it, as
follows:
" At a late hour last night, as 1 was
sitting in my room engaged in writing,
was astonished by the entrance of
visitor, who entered and without a word
took a seat opposite mo at my table.
This surprised me, as I had given par
ticular orders to the servant that I should
on no account be disturbed. Tho manner
in which the intruder, so perfectly self
possessed, took his seat opposite mo with
out a word, as though my room and all
within it belonged to him, excited in mo
as much surprise as indignation. As I
raised my head to look into his features,
over the top of my shaded lamp, I dis
covered that ho was wrapt in a thin cloak,
which effectually concealed his face and
features from my view. And as I raised
my head he spoke :
" "What are you writing, Senator from
South Carolina ?"
" I did not think of his impertinence at
first, but answered him involuntarily
"I am writing a plan of tho dissolu
tion of the American Union (you know
gentlemen, that 1 am expected to pro
duce a plan of dissolution. in tho event
of certain contingencies,) ",
"To this, the intruder replied in the
coolest manner possible : s
"Senator from South Carolina, will
you allow me to look at your hand your
right hand?"
" He rose, the cloak fell, and I beheld
his face. Gentlemen, the sight of that
face srtuck me like a thunder clap. It
was the face of a dead man, whom extra
ordinary events had called back to life.
The features were those of General
George Washington yes, gentlemen the
intruder was none other than George
Washington. He was dressed in the
Revolutionary costumo, such as you see in
the Patent office.
Here Mr. Calhoun paused, apparently

"I answered in tho affirmative. 4Yes,'
I said, if a certain contingency arises, I
will sign my name to a declaration of
dissolution.' Hut at that moment a black
blotch appeared on tho back of my hand,
an inky blotch which I seem to sec oven
now. 4 What is that?' said I, alarmed, I
knew not why, at the blotch on my hand."
" That, said he, dropping my hand, is

solution, why, you may as well have tho
bones ot Isaac Hayne before you: he
was a South Carolinian, and so are you.

With these words tho intruder left the
room. 1 started back from tho contact
with tho dead man's bones, and awoke
Over-worn by labor, I had fallen asleep,
ana had been dreaming.
" Was it not a singular dream ?"
All tho company answered in the af
firmative, and Toombs muttered, " Sin
gular, very singular," at the same time
looking curiously at the back of his right
hand, while Mr. Calhoun placed his head
between his hands and seemed buried in

agitated.
His agitation I need not tell you, was
shared by the company. Toombs at
length broke the embarrassing pause :
" Well, we-e-11, what was tho issue of
this scene ?" '
Mr. Calhoun resumed:
' The intruder, as I have said rose and
asked me to look at my right hand. As
though I had no power to refuso,I ex
tended it. The truth is, I felt a strange
thrill pervade me at his touch ; he grasp
