placenntly in t'olomlHt. This was the
m-eptioiiof a gentleman from America,^who lately arrivtil in Ceylon, into the^lliiildhist clt-iil.
Tin-pris t-tilings took place under the^direction of the liudilhist high priest, as^^sisted by It ycllow-nilail monks. Tin-^colivert knelt la-fun-the assembled priests^ami intimated bis deairc to la- admitted a^mentis r of the Ituililhiat chtin-h. The^high priest then eateehisetl him and Un^^assembled monks suti-flcil themselves^that he was titled to la- a follower of^Hiidilha. The gentleman, whose name^Wits I'owi II, then la gged of thi-^high priest ^to give him the I'au-^sil,^ which the latter did, the can^^didate n-iM-itting it after him with tlie^palms of In- hand- brought together up^^lifted. Having explained to tin- convert^the n-s|Minsib|e duties of a Hudilhist the^high priest gave him his blessing. A^meeting was afterwanl held, at which Mr.^I'owell explained his n-nsons for having^ciuttrnecil Itiiililhism, and di-scrita-d the^meiital pr.teess which he had goiie^throtigh befon- hi- arrived at the coiivie-^tu^u i^f it- truth.

The at rana-r Mtory Karailahaa hy aa Ar-^haaaaa Hauated Haaaa.
InIKtiT I took my departure front Alcx-^| andria. La., going aeroaa tlie country iu^I the direction of Lake Charlaa, aaya a Lit^^tle Rock corYeapoiident of tbe St. Louia^Ul^^h*-Urmurrut. For quite a long tliatance^my way lay along tlie old military road,^leading throuajb an exeeexliturly apartsely^aettbal pi newts a Is country. |Often I would^ride for miles and not nee a living creature^nor hear any aound mitre the lonesome^soughing of tlie majeatic yellow pines.
Iuthe afternoon of the aecond day 1 waa^overtaken by a high wind and blinding,^drenching rain. Aa the rain came down^in torn-nta and tlie wind howled wildly^thntugh tlie towering houghs of tlie denae^foreat, my situation hocamc anything but^pleasant. Added to these causes of fear^the lightning waa almoat unceasing, and^ever and anon ita lurid redness could he^aeen atn-uming anniiul the tall trunk of^some great tree, leaving in its wake a nar-^row, white atreak where it had torn off tin-^bark. Still I nale on; I could do nothing^ciae. But while the storm still raged I^nale into a small o|a-nilig, in the midst of^which attaal a decaying hay house, with^shed~ on ait her side. I ndcr one of these^shed- I took shelter, thankful that I had^not laa-n killed by falling limbs or an^electric alita-k.
Whenthe storm atilaiidcd the anmbcr^curtains of night hail fallen uhout me,^anil the small streams could he heanl^singing the songs of inill-rucea or broken^dams, so much wen- they swollen by the^dn-p rain full. 1 knew it would he rash^^ness to attempt tlx proceed on my journey^with the cx|M-ctalioii of reaching a farm^^house ; isuiiaequeiitly 1 n-aobitely ili-ter-^inineil to n-maiu when- I was. I then-^fore ttatk oil my -addle, put my horse iu^as c en fort title a condition aa possible,^kindled a lin- on the old heuitli and^ipiietly lay tin* it on a pallet I matle of my 1^saddle blankets ami l-oata.
Waa1 afraiil V Well m^ but 1 confess^I was affected with marked symptom- of^^St. Vitus'dance:^ but at this ^dance^ I j^felt no inclination to try a waltz. Fori^had no a*toner coiled upon my lad than^old stories of such iliamal place- came^niitrc-hiiig in through the w indows of my^memory, ami I knew not at what moment^I should mi- them. uiatcrialiKul, tnatpiug^in through the ihairway of the old hut.^Then 1 la gan to feel ^something kind o*^colli'* creeping along the entire length of^my vertebral column.
Prettystain a full regiment of large blue^rats mart-luil in, and, iifter looking on in^evident uuiuzcmciit for a short bsjsjbs. of^time anil com hiding that there wen- no^cats ^under tin- meal,^ opened up a regu^^lar cin-ita. I riggeil up a trap anil for an^hour or so amused my -elf by capturing^rodents and incarcerating them in an old^lairn-l.
FinallyI gn-w weary* of my a|airt and
fellasleep ulaillt lO:'*) o'clock, I suppose.
Sometimethereafter I awoke to ti lit 1 the^old eahiu in giaal n-pair ittit 1 fiiruishtil^throughout. A blazing tin- crackled in the^spacious tln-pluce. la-fon- which an elderly^gentleman sat reading aloud from aFn-neh^ucwspa|m-r. In Ihe corner opposite my^com h sat a beautiful young lady, lire--, d^iu ii flowing gown of immaculate white,^attentively listening to the reading. Her^jet-black lock- fell ill graceful ringlet-^over her sha|tcly shoulders, anil a light of^sii|a rior intelligence gleamed from her^tlark. Iit|iiiil.Hall eyes. Inilet tl. she
sssysssjsj,i pitragou of femiuiue la-iiuty and^loveliness, which challenged my admira^^tion as well as augmented my supreme as^^tonishment. Neither father nor daughter^-as I judged tin ir relationship to la- a|t-^peered to notice my presence.
Whenthe reading ceased, la.th laughed,^t he i la ugh ter an tsc. approached the father,^all'ff tioiiatt ly brushed back his thin locks^w ith ht r soft white hand ami pn-ssul her^coral lips to his fon-heail. She then^wtilkeil across the r^ a mi to a -itiail liun-a-l.^but just as she approached it, some onc^^ aid d iit tin- gate. The nltl gentleman^walk.il to the aVataT and and asked- in^gi sal l .nglt-h :
Whois then-'.'
Two belated travelers w ho solicit your^ho-pttality .^ came in n -|a.lise.
Shiillw e entertain tin in. I'auliiie '.^'^the father iisktil.
Yes.father.^ the young lady n-pli^il.^^for it is a fearful night for tiny one to la-^out.
^Verywell, gentleman, come in,^ said^the gtaal old mall.
Iua few iiiimites tin* travelers wen-^seated la fon- the comfortable fin-, chat^^ting w ith their host anil hostess in ipiite a^staialtle manlier exlubiting a marked^degree of culture ami n-lini ment. One^of MM guests was low. very -tout, fair, and^large brown eyes datketl out from la-m-ath^heavy, almost si|uarc brows. The other^was a very span- man. rattier dark, witli
steel-blue,re-t le-- eyes.
Illthe course of time something was said^alsmt i anl-. and the boat immiibately^pro|atst-t| a game of p^^U^ r-. The proposi^^ti. ^n waa eagerly accepted by the guests^and the trio wen- soon seated around a^small table betting tpiite Ills r illy. Luck^ap|a-arial to smile upon the ht^-t, then*-^forc a dirge pile of gohl coin BtowS lay at^hi- side w hich li.nl hut lately In Id down^tlie pta-kets of Ins guests. It was evident^that the lo-ers wen- la-coming u ntil anil^surpri-eil iit um X|s-ctcil defeat.ami iu this
xiiI ta-t more injiuliciou-ly than la-fon*.
Tbebeat nmaim d t|uiet ami calm : the^ho-te-s datketl on with perfect indiffer^^ence.
Pre-st-utlytin uiiiisiially dirgt- stake lay^on the table ami again tin- host won. The^-tout man waa on hi- feet in a second.and^drawing a lira---harrc|cil pt-tol. sent a^leaden mis-id- of ilcatli in tlie direction of^the winner. Hut the messenger niiased^its mark ami plunged deep into the throle^Iting heart of the young duly. The hlotal^-put ted fntm the wound iu a great crim^^son stn-am. ami en- one could write a^single word she sprang up. uttered a^he.irtn-utliug shriek and fell to tin; tt^a^r^^ leaf I.
lint-he hail scarcely fallen when her^fatte r was shot dead by the dark mall.
Thishloialy deed scciin-d a great sur^^prise to the munlen-rs. evincing the fact^that tln-y dad not iutemint to miinli-r^those who lay dead iit tlieir feet. Hut the^deed waa done; the irrevocable tln-rti- of^death bail gone out from their deadly^guns. Hence, after consultation, it waa^agreed to lude the laalie- ill tin- latsom of^old earth. In accordance with this de^^cision the n mains wen- taken up and^carriiil away.
Illdue time the uiimd rers returmil. anil^I uinh-rstt h x I that tin- laabes had la-en^buried in a ravine alanit a half a mile^from the house.

IMman elflerly Frenebtnan eame up from^New Orleans and settled tbe place for a^stork ranch. His business prospered.and^ba aeeuimilatetil money very rapidly.^Finally bis wife died, and be was left^alone with his tlaiujliter^
Yea,I mind Pauliii'-. poor chihl,^ in^^terrupted tbe old lady, enuina; with a gen^^uine aia^h.
Therewere not many of us liriiur la^about tla-m days,^ continued tbe subd^narrator, ^and there waa not much visit-^in^f between neighbors, so that any of ua :^niicht armored off and not been missed^for a week. Well, one day it waa aseer^tained that our Bood old neQrhhor, Bosha,^and hia daughter were missing. We at^once suspected foul play, and this beeanat-^almost certain when we found that bhaal^had Howetl orer tla- floor antl IumI beer,^partially washed off. Then, again,^no money or valuables were found.^A son of the missing man came^up from New Orleans, offered a^large reward aud made dilligent ami e^-^teiitdil st^an-h, yet nothing was found.^Filially be sold everything and returned^to the city, dejected and fUscoiiaolute.
Timepusatsil on unil tlie cin-iltiiataiice^was nieaaurubly forgottnn. until laat year,^when imrta of two human skeletons were^found iii a deep ravine alanit TU) yards^from the old house where you a|h-llt the^night. Nothing waa found by which the^remains could Im- if If-lltillll!; yet to my^iniiui tbe finding of the hoiica revealed^the laat resting place of our oltl neighlair^antl bia pretty daughter.
Iathe place haunted '.'^ I ventured to^aak.
Againthe old gentleman looked at hia^wife ami then hesitatingly answered:
Well,they do say it ia. Hut the fact ia,^nolle of ua ever go alanit it after dark.
No.badeefl,^ put iu the old lady.
Inconclusion: Waa I awake'.' Did I^^ Irualll t In either case did I see repro^^duced a real tragedy.
