“ OUR COUNTRY ALWAYS RIGHT, EXIT RIGHT OR WRONG, OXJR COUNTRY.”
NOT A SPECTRE.
DT MARY RYLE DALLAS.
“ Ah 1 such a sleep! and such a dream ! I
waa riding upon old Trotter against a snow
storm, with pannier upon pannier loaded with
eggs piled upon his back, and weighing him
down. Then I was selling eggs, and the cus
tomers were indignant—for where should
have been yolk they found nothing but salt;
they were all beautiful young women, and
they - threw the eggs at my head in their anger;
and as the broke, scattering a shower of salt
over my face, they shouted, “ Hallow E’en I
Hal'ow E vo I at the top of their voices. Then
I was a big egg myself, and people would lay
me on the edge of prv’dpiccs, and throw their
eggs at me, until at length I awoke with a
start, stretching my arm» to keep me from
falling, as one often does in sleep. Once mon
tile tall presses, the little mirror, tiie white
curtains—all glimmering in the cold moon
light, which fell through the window, greeted
my eyes. I was wide awake. I was perfectly
calm and collected. My face was toward the
w indow, and suddenly I was startled by a faint
crimson light, which flushed the wall and the
curtain. Can the sun be rising f 1 thought.
No, it was not the sun, the light was within
my room, and there, as true as 1 live, I saw a |
ligule, while and straight, advancing towards
my bed, bolding a light in its hand. My
heart stood still, but I gazed eagerly on the 1
apparition.
"it w*-r very fair to look upon; golden I
culi» fell to the waist, blue eyes smiled from
beneath delicate brows, a dimple in the chin, j
a tiny mole upon the cheek, teeth like pearls,
and a neck w inter than alabaster—these were
the chief traits ; yet I trembled and grew faint.
I closed my eyes and assumed slumber. The
firm advanced, bent over me. and pressed its
lips to mine. I felt two terrible unearthly
kisses, and, unable to control myself longer, '
sprang from the bed in an agony of terror. In :
a moment the light vanished, I heard some- j
tiling hk*-a mortled seream, ami, staggering]
to the bed, swooned away. The next morning j
I awoke fevered and ill. I hade farewell tn
my hospitable entertainer and went home. I
never mentioned toy vision to any one, but
•ithcr the shock ir the salt eggs alrm-st fin
ished my existence. For three weeks 1 lay at
che point nt death, and all the w hile, so they
told me, I raved of a dimple in the chin, a ,
mule upon the cheek, and curls like molten
iiwonliglil. I recovered at last, and in the !
course of a year departed for New York to
enti r into business with my uncle, who was a
meri h uit.
" By a curious coincidence it was once more
All Hallow L'en when I reached New York,
and ns the cah in which i had ensconced my
self at the landing, rolled along Broadway, I
thought even while my eyes rested upon the
hiihianlly lighted and gayly bedecked stores,
and tiie hustling crowd which thronged the
broad sidewalks', of the quiet farm house
chamber, the dark oak presses, the ebon
framed mirror, and the w hite apparition steal
ing troni the shadows slowly, softly, terribly,
but oh, so beautiful 1 * Shall’ I ever meet her!’'
I murmured. ‘ Were those spectral kisses the
foretaste of warm, delicious living caresses,
fr 'h tieni theruhy lip» of an earthly maiden ?'
A I sp 1. ; the carriage stopped at my uncle’s
■ioor.”
H re uncle Oliver patlv-d fra moment and
ga/.-d mound him. The oMer girls were
blushing violently—were in a state of awful
seriousness edifying to behold, amt no one 1
»poke a single word. Uncle Oliver gave us a ,
quizzing glance and proceeded :
“ It was very near the dinner hour, and af !
ter exchanging greetings with my uncle and
•unit I was shown to my apartment, to in ike
solini r-quisite change in my traveling cos
ili ne. li. was a Very different room from that
il the ol I farm-house, where i had slept just
one year before, hut somehow 1 half expec
ted to see the bright apparition steal from he-
I-vetn the llossy lace curtains, or rise from be
hind tin- great velvet rocking chair beside the
liie-place, as I stood combing my hair and ar
ranging my cravat before the toilet-glass be
tween the windows.
•• Tne dinner-hell recalled me to myself, and
I opened the dour to descend to the dining
room. A» 1 stepped into the hall I stood di
redly opposite a (light of broad stairs covered
with a nell velvet carpet, and lit by a pend
ant lamp of amber glass. Upon those stairs
I saw something gliding towards me. Trans
fixed with astonishment I gazed upon it.—
ijulden curls, snowy shoulders, blue eyes, a
dimple i'i (he chin, a brown mole upon the
cheek, a mouth like a rosebud! Ah! I bad
felt Ilio pressine of those lips— it was once
more my apparition, not clad in the white
this time, hut draped in glossy robes of tender
purple, like the hue of an angel's wing. The
amber lamp light floated down upon her, and
she came towards me slowly, but surely. I
did not faint this time, but 1 retreated to my
room, double-locked the door, and fell into a
chair trembling like an aspen leaf. A knock
shortly alter restored my self-possession, and
I answered “come in," with the full deter
mination not to admit the spectre, if this were
she. The servant's voice responded, “ Please,
sir, dinner is ready." And with renewed self
possession I descended to the dining-room.
“•Miss Star, my nephew, Mr. Oliver Lon
don. ’
“It was my uncle who spoke. It was my
apparition—golden curls, dimpled chin and
rosebud month—who bent in acknowledgment.
It was I, with my hair standing on an end,
ami my heart in my mouth, who uttered some
words in reply—what, neither I nor any one
else knew. She had come at last. In living
tlesh and blood she stood before me, the reali
zation of my vision —my fate, my future wife!"
" Aunt Helen 1" exclaimed the group in one
breath.
“ Yes, my dears, your Aunt Helen," replied
Uncle Oliver, "and the very apparition which
had appeared to mo in tho old farm-house,
| from the fairy foot to the soft curls; identical
ly the same. Well, my dears, wo knew each
other, loved each other, and were married on
my twenty-third birthday. She became my
wife; and on the following All Hallow E’en,
wo were sitting quietly before tho tire in our
little house. 1 had never told her of my vis
ion. hut on that night I had resolved to do so.
I had opened my lips to speak, when Helen
spoke instead.
“ ‘My dear Oliver,’ she began, ‘did I ever
tel! you of my adventure on All Hallow E’en
just three years ago. I know I have not.—
Would you like to hear it V’
“ Of course 1 assented to tho proposition.
“ ‘Well, on this night just three years ago,
I was a long distance from this place. Just
at this hour 1 arrived, weary with a long
journey, at the door of an old farm-house,
some miles from Cincinnati, on the road to
M ’
“ ‘At the door of an old farm-house, some
miles from Cincinnati on tho road to M ?’
I replied slowly.
“ ‘Yes, an aunt and uncle of mine, an old
Scotch couple, lived there, and I was to pay
them a visit,’ replied Helen.
" ‘Yes ; an aunt and undo of yours, an old
Scotch couple, lived there, and you were to
pay them a visit?’ repeated I once more.
' 'Yes.'snptinued IMen, 'I wbs to meet at
this place my brother James, whom I had not
seen for three years.’
“ ‘Your brother James I* I grasped in be
wilderment
“ ‘Yes, and of course I was very anxious to
sec him,’ said my wife, ‘so that I was very
sorry to discover, on my arrival, that he had
retired for the night After I had gone to my
room, I could not sleep, so I decided that I
would slip on my dressing-gown and comfort
myself by taking one glance at James’ sleep
ing face. So with a light in my hand I slipped
along the passage, and entered, as 1 supposed,
his room.’
“ ‘And entered, as you supposed, his room,' i
I echoed mechanically.
“ ‘He was asleep,' proceeded Helen, ‘snd I j
thought he had altered very much. I set
down the light, and bended over him, touched
my lips very softly to bis. Imagine my con
sternation when the eyelids opened widely, |
revealing black orbs instead of blue, and, like
t {flash of lightning, (tic truth dawned upotr
my mind ; the person I had kissed was a stran
ger, not my brother! Obeying my first im
pulse, I extinguished the candle ami rushed
towards the door. It was open, and I was in
the entry in a moment, hut not until I had
hoard the stranger spring upon the floor, as if
he were about to follow me. How I gained
JUS room I do not know ; but the next morn-
ing I discovered that a young man whose \
horse had been lamed by a fall had slept there I
for tlic night, and had departed duly in tin; :
nmming. What lie thought of me I shall |
never know, but lie was evidently very much ■
astonished.’
“ ‘Not so much as he is now?’ I ejaculated. '
“ ‘What can you mean?' cried my wife, in -
amazement.
“ ‘I mean that it was I whom you kissed,
that it was I whom you saw, that the vision
was a true one, after all," and then holding
tier on niv knee, I t"ld her my long cherished
story. My All Hallow E'en vision, the spiri t
of my future wife came to me at midnight in
her own fair living form. It was Helen's self
who Itissrd me, the bonniest wraith-that ever
smiled on mortal man. It is a true story.—
How do you like it. girls V '
“ Wc like it as we would a sudden shower
bath, or a frost among summer roses."
It was a terrible disappointment, and thu,
youngest, little Anna, bathed in IcaiS, had
thrown herself sobbing upon my knew.
" What is the matter" said L’nclc Oliver.
"O —d-nr—me,” sobbed Anna. "o—dear
—me—it isn't a rpiiit after all. What—a—
mean—story !"
Our love for the supernatural was tamed
dow n. N’o one sowed hemp seed, or ate an
apple in the glass that night, I am convinced.

JOHN O. BRECKENRIDOE.
John C. Breckenridge is known as wide ns
the country ; for hi« manhood is crowned w ith
laurel* won on hard-fought political fields.—
Hence when his nemo wns presented to tiic
Democratic Convention at Cincinnati, it crea
ted such a burst of enthusiasm an is seldom
witnessed in public assemblies.
John C. Brecttenridge m the only son of a
large family, and born at Lexington, Kentockv,
January 16th, 1821. ills father, J. Cabell
Breckenridge, was a distinguished member of
the legal profession, and a prominent politician
of Kentucky, where he was much beloved and
esteemed. He died in 1823. at the nee of 33,
'v bile Secretary of State under Governor Adair.
He bad inherited a large estate, which he in
creased by bis industry and ability, hut it was
all swept away about the period of his death
by liabilities incurred through his generou
readiness to aid Ids friends. The failure ol
those for whom he had become surely involved
his own pecuniary ruin. His wife, a daughter !
of Rev. Samuel Stanhope Smith, President of
Princeton College, N. J., and grand-daughter
of John Witherspoon, a former president of
the same institution, and one of the signers of
the Declaration of Independence, is still living.
Young Breckenridge received his education
at Centre College, Ky., living in the family i f (
the president, Rev. John C. Young, his broth
er-in-law, and graduated with honor in tin. !
Autumn of 18S8. lie next spent a few months
at Princeton, N. J.. as a resident graduate,
then studied law at Frankfort, Ky., with Judge j
DvvsTy, attended the lectures of fheXexThgton j
Law School, and received a license in tin- (
Spiing of 1841. Willi a finished classical and J
professional education, full of honoiable ambi !
lion, and determined to make his way in the j
world by his own exertions, without calling
on his friends for aid or influence, he invested
the trifling remainder of those resources which
had been economized to complete bis educa
tion, in the purchase of n horse and saddle
bags, and crossed the Ohio river. After trav
ersing Indiana and Illinois, lie finally concia
disi m si-ttlè At Burlington, in the lerriloiy of
lowa, in November, 1841. There he lived fal
livo years, practising law with marked success,
and roughing it after the f.iddon of youngsters ‘
in a new country. In 1843 he returned to his j
native State to visit his mother and sisters, ,
and married Miss Mary C. Hindi, whose an- j
festers were from Vliglnia, and among the ;
(irst pioneers of Kentucky.
Mr. Breckenridge now yielded to the urgent i
desire of Ids relatives and friends that lie ;
should return and piteli ids lent in Kentucky I
inr life. In 1817 his ohi and legal precenter. ■
then Gov, Us sly, tendered him the rank ni
major in one of the Kentucky regiments railed ,
out to assist General Scott, in Mexico. These!
regiments were enlisted for the duration of the )
war. As soon as their organization was com
pleted they repaired to the scene of action,
landing at Vera Cruz, and mai died tu the
capital. But like many other of then com
rades in the Held, the lino brigade from Ken
tucky was not destined to exhibit their gal
lantry under tire. They arrived in time to
see the American flag waving over the mythic
•‘Halls of Montazumns," but not to assist in
planting it there. Major Breckenridge’s regi
ment antlered severely from the effects of the
climate, ami returned home afte! - having lost
one-fourth of their original number, which was
one thousand men, from diseii-e. Wl>U*4w-l
Mexico, Major Breckenridge made many warm 1
friends among the olHccrs of the army, ami |
established an honorable reputation io a sol
dicr and a gentleman. At the conclusion of !
this dramatic episode in his career, he return- ’
ed to the practice of the law- in Lexington, j
where lie greatly distinguished himself, at a ,
bar renowned (i)r~tììe'Kijirnbig, eloquence and
acumen of its members. In 1851 lie was elected
to the Slate Legislature Troni the strung Whig I
county of Fayette. In -this new sphere he cs-1
tahlishcd at mice a brilliant reputation. Frank !
and fearless in manner, thoroughly posted up 1
on every question of the day, clothed in un in
vulnerable logic, and a master of the ai ts of |
attack ami defence, he extorted admiration ;
from those even who felt the keenness of his j
weapons. His distinguished ability caused i
his paity to select him ns tlieirchaiiipion in a :
congressional election, and he accepted tin
popular nomination. It was then a hazardous .
undertaking to attempt to make head against 1
ilio local numbers of the opposition. The .
Whig majority in the district was from a thou ,
sand to fifteen hundred, and Breckenridge was -
opposed by General Leslie Coombs, a very
strong man. A long and exciting canvass fol
lowed, but the result was the election of the
Democratic candidate by a ninjoiity of 581.
Mr. Brvckenriilgu's debutili the national legis
lature was as brilliant as has been that in the
Kentucky House. His talents and power were
immediately recognized, and in- became at
once a marked man. The first lime we saw .
him was in the House of Representatives, i
about the close of his first term. His line |
manly appearance had attracted our attention,
and wo inquired his name of a shrewd old |
politician, long a resident at Washington.— |
“That man," «aid he, "is John C. Breekcn- ,
ridge, of Kentucky, who will one day, if he ■
lives, be President of the United State-:.”— !
And this was not the impression produced on !
an individual mind. Often, when .speculations
were indulged in with regard to the future ot
politics,—when it was asked who in intellect
wci't hi tosueCeed the statesmen passing from
the stage, the Clays, the Websters, the Cal
houns, the Bentons, the name of Breckenridge
was always mentioned as that of one on w limn
the mantle of departed greatness would rest
gracefully and worthily.
The rising fame and power of the Kentucky
representative alarmed the opposition, and in
1853 the Whigs, in formal convention, selected
as his opponent Governor R, P. Letcher, their
most available representative, a man of great
popularity and great adroitness, and who like
wise enjoyed the prestige of never having been
beaten. Ho had carried the State for Gover
nor by 20,000 majority. Thu Wliigs boasted
that they would “ redeem" the district, and
they left no stone unturwd to accomplish their
vaunt. The canvass was the,,hottest ever
known in the State. Governor Letcher preach
ed a crusade against the Democrats, and pro
claimed it as his mission “ to rescue the grave
of Clay from the infidels." In the second
reprcscnlativc election Mr. Breckinridge's
majority over Mr. Letcher was 526. His
speeches in Congress, which have been widely
circulated by tho Democratic press, explain
his popularity and his success. Their senti
ments arc thoroughly rational, and hisopin
ionaare defended with rare ability and elo
quence. Among his numerous and brilliant
speeches, that on the Nebraska bill, delivered
March 28, 1854, has often been referred to as
a master-piece of sound and conclusive rea
soning and of high-toned oratory ; character
istic, however, of all his efforts, and of which
we trust to give specimens at some feturo
time. It produced a profound impression in
the House, and carried dismay into the ranks
of the opposition. Mr. Breckenridge bad fully
determined to remain in retirement after the
close of hia second Congressional term. He
hed declined the Spanish mission tendered
him by President Pierce. He had never
sought public honors ; but whenever called
upon t* ho-'kl» nr> 'hr harms' ?nd do battle

A GOOD BTC It Y.
The* following admirable story of a boasting
old fellow, named “Major Lucky,” is told by
the Hon. Leslie Combs, of Kentucky. The
•vette is-saitf to bave- 4ak~n- place between the -
Major and a Colonel Peters, of Illinois:
“ Major, I understand from Gen. Combs
that, shortly after the- Revolution, you visited

“Capital! I imd not been in London five

“ How so? '
“ Win-, you ree, as we played the last panie,
Rex said tu me, in a familiar manner, “Ma

don’t you?”
“ No, sir," said I, " I don’t, but I'll tell
you who Ido know. I know George Wash
ington. the Father of bis Country.”
“0 pshaw!” said Rex; I know him too ;
be was an infernal rebel, and if I had served
him tight lie’d been bung long ago.” |
“This ailed me, «ini I just draws! back and .

V» hat is a Lady?—A great deal of argil
imnt is going the rounds respecting the title
of lady and the name woman. Tlie express
iun “lady" is su mudi abused, that, without
t" in; in the legsf hypercritical, I have long
since become profoundly disgusted with it,
and infinitely prefer the s-.Vcci, unpretending
title of true woman. If we could but lift the
d'alf from the wheat, abrogate all the Self
.■>iyl*.*d “ ladb s,” there would be no objection
to tlie title; but ministers of grace defend u
frulli some ladies of the present day, who do
not even know why a woman should be so
culled. A lady must possess perita t refine
ment and intelligence. She must he gracious,
affable, and hospitable, without the slMitest
degree of fussiness. Sht must be a Christian,
mild, geni'j and charitable, unostentatious,
and doing good by Stealth. She must be deaf
to scandal and gossip. Her high sense <«l
honor will forbid her prying into her Iris
band’s secrets, searching stealthily Ids port
mummie and pockets, and breaking open hi
letters She must not disdain n kindly nod of
recognition to her servant, seamstress', dr
maker, butcher, baker, or any oilier employee
she may chance to meet. She must possess
discrimination, knowledge of human nature,
ami tact sutlicieut to avoid oll’eliding one’s
weak points, steering wide of ail subjects
w bieli may be disagreeable or offensive to any
present, She must keep the golden rule up
permost rn her mind. She must look upon
personal cleanliness and freshness of artire a>
next to godliness. Her dress must bo in ac
cordance with her means, never dressy or
flashy, but, if possible, composed of the best
material. Abhorring everything like soiled
or faded finery, or mock jewelry, her pun
mind and clear conscience will cause the font
of Time to pass as lightly over the smooth
brow- as if she stepped on flowers, and, as she
moves with quiet grace and dignity, all will
accord her, instinctively, the title of lady. If
I had time and you patience, I could present
the other view- of the case, looking upon this
picture and upon that. lint when one con
stantly comes In contact, in omnibuses, cars,
stores, the promenade, places of public amuse
ment, and wherever women are generally
found, with those who loudly arrogate to
themselves the contested title, can you wonder
at the disgust it produces?
Sharp Practice—Dr. Richard Mead, of
England, was the first to introduco the custom
of having himself called out of church; but
he practised this ruse under more favorable
advantages than most cou’.d. His father was
ft clergyman, with a la'ge congregation, and
when tho Doctor was summoned out, would
say, “ Dear brethren, let us offer a prayer for
the poor sufferer to whose relief my son Rich
ard has been called." Id this way the son
gained notoriety.”

A ATRAHQS ATOUT,

An extraordinary tale, gravely told by Poo
chet in his Mem otre* Tire» de» Archtre» de m
Police, has just been made th* aubjeet ot a
drama at one of the boulevard theater*, under
the title of " Serene de Pari*.” At tbu tine
when SI. de la Hernia was Lieutenant-General
of Police, under Louis XIV, a great iena* lion
was caused at Paris by the mysterious disap
pearance of not fewer than twenty**!* young
men, aged from 17 to 28. belonging to noble
or wealthy families. Among the common
people the report was spread that the young
men had been murdered by a foreign princess,
in ord-.-r that she might take baths of their
blood to cure herself of the lifer complaint I
I ne matter at'last became so serioua that
I.ogls XIV complained of it to M. d« la Rey
ni.-, and the latter consulted on* of bia ablest
agents, mimed Lecoq. This parson auapactad
that the roung men must bavo Wien Into
MM >ieuln fer them by fsmals ehanM.
and he employed a natural aon of hia own, a
handsome ami intelligent young man, to try
ami discover the mystery. This young man,
whose name w as Ex opere, wasaant, splsndidly
dressed, every day to the Tuileries, the Palace
K'lynle, and the Luxembourg, which war* then
the places ( f i*-bio - ab! e resui t, At length ha
s'.w n tlie *1 micties a young woman of mar
v lons h ante, attended by an aged female,
and Ins iohks expressed his admiration. Shu
stente I fu fi tun displeased, and at length her
attend tilt, aicosting him, said she waaa Polisti
pi ineu»s uf the name ofJubiTQUsks, immensely
rich, and os she was much struck by him, aha
would perhaps allow him to visit liar. The
j oung man declared that lie had concairad a
violent passion for the lady, and after acino
conversation the attendant told him that if at
nine o'clock at night ho would present hirosalf
in front of the church of St. Germaiu-l’Au*
urrois, she would uieet him and take him to
her mistress. The young man of course told
Lecoq of this, and in the evening the lattar
caused several of Ids men to be placed in such
a way as nut tu lose sight of Exupere, and in
the event of his incurring danger, to be able
to render him assistance. At th« appointed
hour the young man was at the rendeavous,
and the woman joined him there. She wantad
to bandage ids eyes, but lie refused to lat bet
do so. She then led him by various obscure
streets to the Hue des Orlevrcs, and there in*
tr._> !ii « Ì him into a small house near the
Chape; Jji. Eiui. Alter walking along a dark
corn lor the young mao was Introduced into»
sumptuously furnished room,in which ho found
the foreigner. She received him so kindly
that he entirely forgot to give Lecoq outside
the signal which had been agreed on. After
a while the lady retired, and the young man,
pioceeding to examine the room, found behind
a screen a glass case in which were twenty-si*
men's heads, each placed in a silver dish and
• neh so carefully embalmed that it retained
the apinioance i’>f life ! lie started back with
horror ; hut at the same moment a whistle
outside was heard, being the signal of Lecoq,
and in a fvw seconds after the windows were
forced open, and that olliccr and his men, who
had ascended by ladders, jumped into the
room. Tlie eoi ilieaiit princess, hearing the
noise, rushed into the apartment, followed by
four ferocious-looking bandits, but the polle*
were strong enough to arrest all five. The
bandits Were in due time condemned to death
arid executed. As to tho female, she turned
out to be nut a Pole, but an Englishwoman,
who is stated in lleuchct'a account to hav*
enticed the young men to her house to satisfy
hei pa toons, and had them murdered in order
to red them. She also was condemned to
death, hut « scaped in n strange way. Th*
King spoke of the affair to Ins brother, Mon*
.-min', to the Chevalier do Lorraine, and soma
other lugli personages. The Chevalier sug
gested to the Prince that it would ho amusing
to .up with so singular a criminal. Monsieur
at first objected, but at Inst consented. By
means of u blank lettre de cachet, the Prince
caused the woman to be given up to some
ptrsons sent by bini, on tlie pretext that she
was to be conveyed to another prison. He
had her. however, carried to a country-house
some miles across the' country, where he. the
Chevalier dc Lorraine, and Si. d'Efflal were
waiting to receive her. Tho whole four sup
in.! tigether. At length Monsieur, having
seen enough of her, suggested that she ought
to be sent back to the Bastile ; but his com
panions proposed instead that she should b*
conveyed either to London or Brussels and aet
at liberty. The good natured prince consented
and went away. The two nobles passed tbs
eight in an oreie with the woman, telling her
that the next day they would convey her out
of the country ; but instead of trusting to them
she thought best to save herself} so, plying
them will with drink until they were over
come, she locked them in, and escaping, was
seen no more. The governor of the Bastile,
on learning that the woman had been got out
of his custody by a trick of the King's brother,
thought the best thing ho could do was to
pretend that she was dead, and he accordingly
had a rerhul drawn up to that effect
