WASHINGTON'S DREAM. "Washington, tired by the 

 duties of the day, in his room seated by the table, has 

 fallen asleep. The camp is seen through the open door. 

 The vision of Columbia, attended by Justice and Plenty, 

 appears in the sky. 



THE SOLDIER'S DREAM. This is best told in Campbell's 

 Poem, beginning : 



" Our bugles sang truce, for the night cloud had lowered, 



And the sentinel stars set their watch in the sky ; 

 And thousands had sunk on the ground overpowered, 



The weary to sleep and the wounded to die. 

 "When reposing that night on my pallet of straw, 



By the wolf-scaring faggot that guarded the slain, 

 At the dead of the night a sweet vision I saw, 



And thrice ere the morning I dreamt it again." 



MERCY'S DREAM. Mercy is represented in a reclining 

 position beneath a spreading tree. An angel from 

 Heaven appears and places a crown of glory on her 

 head. 



ANGEL OF PEACE. A beautiful landscape showing a 

 city at night, with the new moon in the sky reflected 

 in the water. The figure of an angel bearing a child 

 appears like a vision in the sky, and then fades away. 



THE FAIRY GROTTO. A view looking out from a grotto 

 into a lake, upon the surface of which are interspersed 

 rocks and trees in a picturesque manner. A fairy with 

 wand is seen in the foreground. The moon appears 

 from behind the clouds and its reflection is seen on the 

 rippling waters. 



THE WIZARD'S GLEN. The wizard and his attendant 

 fairy are seen in the foreground of a picturesque glen in 

 the mountains. The moon glistens on the crest of a cas- 

 cade, which falls from the summit of the rocks.
