- HOW FELL LAID THE GHOST-
Nell Blake and I were just let loose
from school; and had we been let loose
from Bedlam, we could scarcely have been
more delighted,, and made a greater fuss
pon regaining our freedom. '
The city was stifling the streets dusty
and deserted, and the windows mourn,
fully empty, and looking as if they, too,
' were dying with the -blues," so Nell and
I made up oar minds which being done,
nothing remained but to put our de
termination into execution to leave the
city .instandex, and go up to a delightful
SI ace in new London to spend the holi
sys. No sooner said than done, and next
. morning, at an early hoar, we were on
route for Pine Grove Lodge, where we ar
, rived late in the evening.
I kad never been to Pine Grove Lodge

no conveyance awaited as, and my aunt's

we ' would have managed ; but I have a
shrewd suspicion that we would have
set to work ana walked every foot of the
way, before we would have given up oar
intention of sleeping beneath my aunt's
roof that night. .. . --
As it was, however, we thanked oar stars
that no such proof of our pedestrian pow
ers was required; pouted out our thanks
to the stage driver, and bandied ourselves
into the old-fashioned conveyance. We had

that was the only redeeming quality it
possessed. - What mad man was it that in
vented stages such stages, I mean, as
that one in which we had the ineffable
blessing ot being Jolted to death ! It sends
a cold chill over me when I think of it,
even now.

as down went one wheel, and we were both

Nell, as Boon as she recovered breath

succeeded in gaining oar seats once more.
"O, dear, this ia jolly," said my poor
friend, fanning herself 'vigorously with
her beautiful sandalwood fan, that had
been broken to pieces in the scuffle.

"Thank you ; you're complimentary," I

"Well, never mind; let's get ready for

in the only arm-chair in the apartment;
and drawing the hair-pins out of her hair
she began leisurely to brush out the long,
glossy waves.

night toilet we blew out the light, harried
into bed. and were soon sound asleep.
: We might have slept about three hours
when a deep hollow groaning, aa if in the
room, awoke us, and at the same moment
we both started up in bed. The moon
light was flooding the room, making it
ckar as day. and everything in the room
was distinctly discernible in the clear
light.
Instinctively we both glanced toward
the window. The vines still covered it,

and through the opening appeared the

upon the forehead, and dark, wild eyes
glaring at us savagely.
We would have screamed, but our ton
gues clove powerless to our mouths, and
for some moments we could not utter a
sound, while that ghastly face still looked
in upon us with its savage eyes.
"May I be frightened to death," at last
exclaimed Nell, "if I stand any such non
sense! Ill see what that ghost is made of,
or I'll know the reason why !" And snatch
ing a anilt that lay across the foot of the
bed, she folded it around her, and, with a
single bound, was half way across the
room toward the window. But the face
had vanished. ' Nell rushed up to the win
dow and peered out. nothing was to be
seen save the clambering vines that shad
ed the window, and the Tittle terrace that
led from it and opened at a little distance
further on into the drawing room.'
Nell fell back bamea this lime, out ue-
clared she would yet solve the mystery.
The next morning, at breakfast, we were
of course questioned as to our adventuies
during the night, and Nell undertook to
1 a description of them. I observed
that Mr. Harry's eyes twmkleU with mis
chievous glee.
"80 you were not at all afraid, '- Miss
Nell? he said, addressing that young
lady.
"Afraid Not I, indeed!" answered
Nell, emptyirg her mouth of coffee and
home-made biscuit, and passing her coffee
cap. "You see, Jtre-i;ean,u nasnt inter
fered with my appetite in tne least.'
. Daring the day. Nellie and Harry threw
down the gauntlet to each other, and forth

which continued all day long, and in the
evening, ton. till we retired to our room.

ghost. At breakfast, next morning, aunt
and uncle and cousin Harry expressed
their surprise when we declared that we
had received no ghost visit that night.
"Yon must have lngbtenea it away,
Miss Nellie," said Harry, with a wicked
smile.
"Yes, I guess so," returned Nell, coolly.
After breakfast was over commenced
Nell's flirtation with Harry again. It was
perfectly disgraceful, and I assure you I
was highly scandalized; but my well
meant remonstrances with that young lady
were only ridiculed and laughed at- ..
. Things went on this way for a week,
and had 1 not picked up a beau in a
friend of Harry's who came to see us fre
quently, I'm sure 1 would have died of the
blues, for those two Nell and Harry
hsdnH a single word to say to anyone but
themselves.
For six successive nights we had seen
nothing of the ghost, but on the seventh
night exactly a week from its first ap
pearance it came again, and in the same
manner. -- Nell made a dive far the win
dow, but found nothing when she got there,
and returned to bed disgusted with the cow
ardly thing that ran away, terrified, from
a girl.
- It was plain now that his ghostship de
termined only to pay us a weekly visit,
and Nell's mind was made np to sift the
matter thoroughly, and solve the mystery
upon the third visit.
As far as the flirtation vrs concerned, it
progressed splendidly, and when I pre
turned to remonstrate with Nell upon the
subject, she kindly advised me to take care
of my own affairs confidentially assuring
me mat it was ss mucn as 1 wss aoie ior,
to attend to Will Yorkston myself. .

ghostship's third visit arrived. Nell
Wouldn't go to bed, but determined to re

disposed, went to bed and slept At mid
night I was awakened by the same groans

his etchings was exhibited in London, and

His first etchings, aa far as known, were

It is a notorious fact that the expense of
itntish rule in India is something enorm
ous, and forms a crushing incubus on the
country. The population is roughly esti
mated at a hundred and ninety millions.
and the average taxation last year in vari
ous ways amounted to three and three-
fourth shillings (English) per head. The
gross production of India for the same
time averaged tuirty-one and a halt gain
ings per head, so that the taxes took twelve
per cent of the product. These figures
alone are enormous; and when we add the
opium impost and the local and municipal
taxes, tn ere is an aggregate or nearly ntly
million pounds, or two hundred and fifty
million dollars. In 1857 the total was
only about half the above amount ; there

country, it has net kept pace with

thorities. India is every year poorer and
poorer. The land tax is a burden so great
that the cultivation of the soil does not
always enable a cultivator to optain the
commonest necessities for himself and
family, and the condition of the day la
borer is pitiful in the extreme. The great
mass of the people are in a condition of
the most wretched poverty, -want in all its
forms stares vou constantly in the face.

An old gentleman was talking yesterday
about pluck. Said he: "I went to Mis
in 1844. Every day families came
in from the east with nothing save what
they could bring on a four-horse wagon.
They would settle on 160 acres of land, get
nut the loon, and build a rude cabin.
They had no sugar, no coffee, no comfort-1

bread, and all the time kept to work, kept
raising babies and lived. They shot tur
keys, prairie chickens and squirrels for
meat, and scumed along, l usea to watcn
their progress, and it was a certain thing
that in the fourth or fifth year after their
arrival they would build themselves a
comfortable house and turn the original
cabin into a stable. Now the sons of those
people are the solid men of Missouri, and
the daughters and granddaughters ot
those pioneer mothers wear robes, a single
one of which cost more than the entire
capital of the average Missouri pioneer."

the lady changing her mind during bis

lady and gentleman, after the latter had

There are two errors very commonly
committed by persons selecting animals
from which to breed. Home pay too much
attention to prejudice and too little to
form, while others err in the opposite di
rection. The one will select the animal
with the longest pedigree, whatever be his
form, while the other does not care about
pedigree, but bases his decision on a per
sonal inspection or the animal. . The lat
ter ot tne two is tne- least onjectionaoie,
since the stock will be far more likely to
inherit the qualities of an immediate rather
than those of a remote ancestor. While
form and character are of prime import

the busy artisan shapes into beauty

has been fashioned into articles of use,

industries away. and where would our
thriving townships be, that have grown
irom tne swaddling clothes or a little ham

thriving, prosperous townships. W e think
home industries should receive all the
fostering care and encouragement we are
capable of extending, when we feel that
they have materially added their quota to
the prosperity and wealth of the country.
