Excerpt from Caen-Stone Dreams: Or, the Harmony Between Individual and National Interests

Safely arrived 011 term firma, I have traced them with the best lineaments I find in words, which poorly represent the happy harmony of the original pictures.

Of these forty, the twelfth is now offered, though, alone, it may not present the reason for attaching to these dreams tho appellation-Caen-Stone.

During tho night of the 28th of November, the gale still increasing, with heavy cross seas, the orders of the captain and wate were hurried, the rapid movements of the crew, in close-reefing the sails, and in arranging the ropes, and other parts, were heard amidst rain and hail.

Confined to our cabin, we slept not till near morning, when the body found repose, and the mind was soon happy in perceiving some of the harmonics signified by the series of systems of living circles, composing a robe without seams and without border ; through the folds of which could be read :

" That which is law is from God,

Conformity to which constitutes a

Nation's Strength."

Much time passed in contemplating the universal application of this precept, to all circumstances and relations, physical, intellectual, and moral.

Then I perceived this robe to he that, which aforetime had appeared in the Church of Cam-Stone, as a cloud, composed of circles within circles, and various systems of circles intimately mingling ; series within series, constituting a unity.

The scene changed. I was passing down the Sixth Avenue, in New York, when ray attention was arrested by the sudden appearance of five flags, on each of which wore legibly printed these words: the ropes.

One of these flags was suspended over the centre of the Avenue, and on each sidewalk two Hugs, at about thirty feet asunder.
