Foresight of a Dream


Tuesday, November 17.--One was relating a remarkable story, which I thought worthy to be remembered. Two years ago, a gentleman of large fortune in Kent dreamed that he was walking through the churchyard and saw a new monument with the following inscription:

Here lieth the Body

OF
SAMUEL SAVAGE, ESQ.,
WHO DEPARTED THIS LIFE ON SEPTEMBER -- 1772, AGED --.

He told his friends in the morning and was much affected; but the impression soon

wore off. But on that day he did depart, and a stone was erected with that very inscription.
