..... ? visited Laurel Hill, the beauti
ful home of thc dead of Philadelphia,
and the hist thing that greeted me :it
the entrance was a brown stone statue
of Old Mortality working on a weath
er-beaten marble slab. A little dried
up, spectacled old gentleman with a
pca-jackct coat on and the big pockets
filled with chisels and mallets and
brushes and old rags. Maybe he is
there yet. 1 don't know, but I
thought of him the other day as 1
wandered through the silent city of
the dead in Myrtle Hill at Home, (Ja.
It has been about forty years since 1
helped to lay off that cemetery, and
people have been moving there ever
since and a good motto to place over
the gate would be "For men may come
and men may go, but I go on for
ever."
An old-time friend waa with me, and
1 can't help but think of him as "Old
Mortality," for he has been nursing
and cherishing that graveyard for over
thirty years and has made it a place of
beauty and a joy forever. Ho has
long since made reputation as an able
lawyer and a learned judge, but I
know that he never took as much in
terest or real pleasure in anything as
in beautifying and adorning that love
ly and romantic place, ile has spent
hundreds of dollars there out of his
own pocket. His own lot, with its
Italian marble monument to thc mem
ory of his wife, is a marvel of exquis
ite beauty. 1 saw where he had right
ed - p ?ind placed a new foundation
unuci the mouument of the wife of a
far distant friend. Within the last
year or two he has been to Macon and
reformed and renewed tho monuments
that mark his parents' graves. He
has been to Katen ton and worked on
those of his brothers and sisters who
died in the long ago. and hus placed
tombstones over the graves of
his grand parents. He talked to me
feelingly about some negleotcd gravea
of our friends who sleep in the old
graveyard at Rome that nobody cares
for and is well nigh abandoned.
"When I get through with them," he
said, "I shell feel satisfied and take a
rest from this business and endeavor
to be ready for my own funeral." If
he is not Old Mortality now ho will be
if he lives long enough.
Well, I like that. Weall like it;
that is to say, all kind-hearted, reflec
tive people. Some people are afraid
of a graveyard, especially young peo
ple, who have a horror of death, but it
is a foolish fear and wears oil as we
get older. When I was & youth at a
country eohool there was a braggart
sort of a boy named Baldwin who said
he wasent afraid of ghosts. Jim Lin
ton bot him a dollar that he wonldent
go down to the rooky field that night
and out a sassafras bush that waB near
, an old grave and bring it to the house.
The money was put np. Just about
; dark Jim slipped around and hid be
j hind a rookpile that was near thc
I bushes that had grown around tho
grave. When Baldwin got there and
was about to cut the sassafras Linton
said solemnly in a deep bass voice.
"Beware ! that's my grave," and
Baldwin ran home with Jim after him
and like to have fainted at the door.
When I was the little mill boy and
had to pass a country graveyard on tho
way and happened to be late in get
ting my grist from thc miller it was a
strain on my youthful courage to go
slow by thc sacred mysterious place.
But go fast you can't on an old sway
back mare with a bag of me.il under
you. For three or four years 1 waR on
the lookout for a ghost in the twilight,
but I never saw one and I reckon it
helped me later on. for my wife lived
near the village graveyard and when I
was courting her and kneeling at her
shrine I had to pass near it every
night or two and .it was a test of my
love and my devotion, ior neither rain
nor darkness intimidated me, which
proves that love is stronger than fear.
Some moonlight nights when I v as a
little premature I have walked inside
of thnt time-honored place and sat
upon the tombstones and perused the
epitaphs and the cpitaffy, for it is a
redeeming trait in our humanity to
speak well of the dead, especially upon
their tombs.
Don't bolicve in visible ghosts, but
some strange things have happened
since the Witch of Endor called up
tho ghost of Samuel. One night in
\ Florida a number of us were giving in
our experience when my old college
friend, McKay, took his turn. He is
too eld to prevaricate or exaggerate.
He traveled in Europe with his wife
and educated his children there, and

It wafs nu old nil painting and the mas
si ye frame was fastened to a book in
thc ceiling, 'l here was u piano in the
front room timi a set of linc old-fash
ioned furniture. The landlady was a
sad featured old woman. The first
night of their domicile Mr. McKay
and his wife and daughter sat up quite
late and thc piano was tried and found
to bc in perfect order. When they
retired thc lamp was shaded and left
dimly burning. About midnight
there was a racket up about that por
trait and it was seen to break loose
from the ceiling and turn over edge
ways along the cornice to the corner
of the roora and then came down with'
a crash. Why gravity dident make it
fall down by the mantel was a mys
tery. Nextmorning a servant came and
removed the portrait. Next night after
they had retired a heavy Bereen that
was between the bed and thc window
galloped around to thc foot of the bcd
and fell with a crash. Thc landlady
came in the morning and removed it
and said but little in explanation.
She seemed troubled. The next
night, Misa McKay, who was gifted in
music, played till quite late and after
she had closed the piano and joined in
thc conversation with her parents
there was an awful crash in thc piano
behind them. It sounded like every
thing had been violently broken by
blows from heavy bludgeons and the
blows were several times repeated and
with crushing force. For some min
utes Mr. McKay and his wife and
daughter looked aud , wondered and
said nothing. Thoo he got up and
approached thc piano and inspected it
closely. Then he ventured to open it
and found every string and every key
in order. The next night about mid
night there was a pitiful wail of a
child crying in the room. The lamp
was turned up and a search for the
child was made. Sometimes it was in
one corner, then in another, then up
on the cornice and then cut ia tba hall
and away off, but its cry was distress
ing, as though in great anguish. The
landlady was rung for and came and
when asked about the child said there
was no child ia the house, nor did her
neighbor have any children. "Ma
dam, did you ever hear the crying of a
child in this room before ?" She said
she had, but it was a long time ago,
and he learned from her that during
the war with Napoloon the inmates of
the house were al! murdered for har
boring some traitors. The man whose
portrait fell and hia wife and son and
a little child. She thought that
maybe the haunts had left the house
by this time or she would not have
rented it.
"Now," said my friend, "this all
happened just as I tell you and my
little wife will say to you that I have
not exaggerated it." We looked at
tua little woman and she said "it was
just that way." Of course they mov
the next day.
Do I believe it? Yes, I believe
Mr. and Mrs. McKay ; more than that
my mind is not satisfied.

Whiskey by Wagon.
CHESTER, S. C., Oct. . 6.-Karly
this morning a two-horse .vagon load
of whiskey in bottles packed in saw
dust arrived in town. The agent, Mr.
I). J. McCarter, rented a vacant store
room on Wall street and opened his
establishment as agent for A. C. Mo
Carter, manufacturer and distiller, of
Kings Mountain, N. C. There are
several more mo/un loads on the road,
which will arrive in a day or so. Much
speculation is indulged in as to the
outcome of these original package
stores-whether they are protected by
Judge Simonton's injunction or not.

In South Carolina there arc a great
many trai ts ol' land suitable for the
settlement of kolonics of people from
the crowded north and from thc west.
They an- now undeveloped and in their
virgin state. .Many of these lauds ate
capable of a high statt of cultivation
and it only requin - lin people t" s et
il? upon l li em t- increase tin taxable
properly and .?. neral prosperity ol tin
State to a large extent. In recent
ye:!:}- plastically nothing has been
done in the line of ac'juuintiug pcojde
in other parts of thc country with what
this State has to oller itt thc way of
good lauds for settler*. There i.- ab
solutely no information in readable
form that eau be mailed to those who
are constantly making inquiries. So
far Pickens county is the only one in
the State that has issued anything of
this nature.
Col. James G. Gibbes, thc State land
agent, talked most interestingly yes
terday about thc matter of inducing
settlers to come to South Carolina,
particularly from thc west and north
west. He said it was one that should
receive immediate attention. Sister
States arc losing no time in establish
ing colonies. He says that the State
has large tracts of lands available for
rapid development that cantte secured
as cheaply as any in thc south.
Colonel Gibbes said yesterday that
he was thinking of arranging for a big
sale of such lands in December or
January, if private parties, owning
large tracts that they desire to sell
will co-operate with him. His idea is
to get up brief descriptions of all
tracts, State and private, and have
them printed for distribution, have
the sale advertised freely in northern,
western and northwestern newspapers
and get the railroads to offer home
seekers' excursion rates good for a
certain period at very low rates. This
has been the plan worked successfully
in several States and excellent results
have followed.
Colonel Gibbes requests all parties
in the State who have tract *,hey
would like to ofter at such a sale as
that outlined to correspond with him
at once.
The following letter front the register
of the Tn ?ted States hind office at Los
Angeles, Ca'., received yesterday,
Colonel tiibbes says is a sample of thc
letters he daily receives from every
part of the country :

A wayfarer in South Carolina had
stopped for thc night at a rural hotel,
where the company was considerably
better than thc table, says the Wash
ington fS'dir. lt was an interesting
and picturesque assemblage that dis
cussed local topics, and the traveler
regretted their adjournment for a
friendly gain". The two or titree who
did not play ? ?n dispersed and hit
him lo hi< own thought-. In despair
of finding further entertainment, be
went to the landlord's desk and asked
for his hey.
"Isn't my room ready ?"
Ves. I sent up t<> have it fixed as
soon as you registered. Hut, you sec.
that's the room in which the gentle
men generally play poker, and Itforgot
to tell them il was to bc occupied, so
they've probably gone ahead with the
game, as usual, lt won't take long,
though, for them to move into another
room, and I'll go up myself and notify
them."'
"Couldn't you give me another
room, so as not to disturb them ?"
"Not with furniture in it. All the
gentlemen need is some chairs and a
table, and. there are plenty of vacant
rooms where they can make themselves
just as comfortable as they are now."
"Dc you think they would let me
come into thc game if you introduc
ed me?" inquired the lonely guest.
"I haven't a doubt of it."
"I'm not at all sleepy, and I believe
I'd rather have their company than
their room."
"I don't know as you'd exactly en
joy tho kind of game they play," the
landlord suggested, as they reached
the head of the stairs.
"I'm used to a great many kinds,"
was the confident answer. "I guess I
can hold my own."
As they approached the room they
neard the sound of voices through the
open transom.
"I'll bet a thousand," said a player.
"And I'll raise it five thousand,"
came the reply in cool, determined
tones.
Thc traveler cast an apprehensive
look on the landlord and exclaimed :
"Does ho mean 'dollars?' '
"Certainly," replied thc landlord.
As they entered the room a man
with a gingham shirt and black felt
hat was saying :
'I sec your $10,000 and call you.
What have you got ?"
"A pair of sevens," was tho reply.
"It's no good. I have a pair of
tens."
The traveling man turned to his
host, and in a hoarse voioe said :
"He didn't bet all that money on a
Ipair of tens, did he ?' '
"Of course, he did. That isn't
anything." Then turning to the party
he said :
. "Gentlemen, let me introduce Mr.
Sampleson. He's a particular friend
of mine and being somewhat lonely
thought he'd like to join in the game.
And I made so free as to tell him I
didn't think you would have any ob
tions."
1 "Certainly not," said the man who
had just won, moving his chair to
make room. "Sit down and make
yourself %% home."
"I'm a little bit afraid I haven't
money enough about me to stay in the
game long," be remarked gloomily.
"Ch, sever mind about that. We
furnish the money. This is a gentle
man's game, and we ?don't take any
ohauccB on anybody'! departing with
hard feelings toward anybody else.
We found that there w%s a great deal
of the money isaued by the Confeder
ate States in this part of the country
and as nobody wanted it we gathered
it up and keep it hero for this pur
pose. Jake," be added, calling to thc
man opposite him at the table, "just

der being bad luck, of course. "If
you meet tho new* moon face? to fa?o
with money in your pocket, you
will have that kind of monoy in
your pocket for a month, " and eo
on, this hist hoing taken from an
old black letter treatise on "things
worth knowing." Everywhere in
UH? world tho idea prevails among
tho-'? who hick scientific training
that anything falling to tho lot of
man when tho moon is waxing will
likewise increase, similarly decreas
ing while tho moon wanes. Tho
Hindoo troubled with warts looks
at tho new moon, picks up a pinch
of dust from beneath ina left foot,
rubs tho wart with it, and, when
the moon goes, HO does the wart. If
you fall ill, you can bo cured by
herbs gathered in tho full of the
moon.

In northern India tho people lay
out food in the full moon that comes
in the months corresponding to our
September and October, half of
each, and give it to their friends as
& moana of insuring longevity.
That same night tho girls pour wa
ter in tho moonlight, saying they
are getting rid of the oold weather.
It was long ago noted that the
Yorkshire maids "do worship the
new moon on their bare knees,
kneeling upon an earth fast stone,"
and Lady Wilde says that the Irish
damsels drop on their knees when
they first catch sight of the new
moon and say, "Oh, moon, leave us
ns well as you found us I" In India
j the natives take seven threads from
I the end of their turbans and give
them to the new moon, with a
prayer.
The spots on the moon are caused
by many persons or things. Some
times it is a man with a fagot on
his back, eent thither for picking up
sticks on the Sabbath. Chaucer calls
him a thief and puts a thorn bush on
his shoulders. Dante says it is no
less a oriminal than Cain. Shakes
peare provides a dog io keep him
company. Hindoos keep not a
man, but a hare, in the moon, and
the weU known connection in the
minds cf the man of the moon and
insanity may account for the state
ment regarding the March hare, and
possibly the thorn hush may be the
distinctive covering of. the hatter.
At any rate, this is as good guessing
as a lot of the sun myth people have
done, while Baring-GcuM identities
the moon children, Bill and Hiuki
of the northern mythology, with
Jack and Gill of the nursury rhyme.
The Greenland Eskimo believes
that the sun and moen were orig
inally brother and sister. She, be
ing teased by him past ordinary en
durance, seized some lampblack and
rubbed it on his faca Then she
ran, her brother after. Finally she
went so fast she rose up into the air
and became the sun, while her sooty
raced brother turned into the moon.
In Samoa when a great famine op
press ed the people the moon rose
one night, big and round, like a
bread fruit A patient mother, un
able to quiet the pangs of her little
one, looked up and said, "Why
don't you come down and let my
baby have a bite of youl" Thia
made the moon BO angry that she
simply picked np both mother and
child, and .they have been there ever
since. '
All sailors are certain that sleep
ing in tropical moon rays will either
make them cross eyed or blind. On
the American vessel El Capitan a
year or two ago a number of the
crew, " disregarding the advice of
theirfeUowsduring aspell of hot
weather, alept on the deck in the
moonlight, and soon after went com
pletely blind at night, though they
could sea SB well in the daytime ns
ever. . Theskipper of the ship re
ported the occurrence, and with it
made a statement to the effect that
up to that time he had been a disbe
liever in the so called moon blink.
Paul Eve Stevenson reports that ho,
too, was hurriedly awakened on his
way to Kew York from the Bahamas
with the assurance from the captain
that nit sorts cf - things would hap
Ipen to him if ha slept in moonlight
