ANASTASIA’S GHOST.
How well l remember that dismal Novem
ber night. Some vague presentiment of evil
weighed on my heart, ns I sat alone in tin*
twilight. And yet there was nothing appa
rently to make me gloomy. On the contra
ry, I ought to have been more titan usually
cheerful; had 1 not, received a very delicious
promise from Kate Nelson that very after
noon ?
It seemed in he od 1. to he sure, that a gray
haired widower like myself was to marrvthi
girloflfl. Her mother Ini hcen u h.m e
keeper in our family. Int died soon al’te
Kate’s birth. So it happene 1 that site w.a
adopted bv us. as we had no chi! Iren of on
own. Mv wife treated her kindly, hut with
out much warmth of feeling. Anastasia was
nf such a |*eculiar disposition that I iiet-uaHy
believe she was jealous of this infant.
Poor Anastasia! she warned me solemnly
on her deathbed never to marry again, and
threatened to rise from her grave in ease of
such an event.
Kate was in her tenth year when mv wife
died. I sent, her away to a hoarding-school ;
and, as business called me abroad, did not
see her again until my return, eight-years af
terwards. I was somewhat bewildered to find
a lovely woman, instead of the little girl I had
left in short dresses. Of course, you can
guess the sequel. I fell in love with this
charming adopt ed daughter. There was some
thing in the frank tenderness of her maunct
that comph tely won mv heart.
It was evident Mint she was deeply attach
ed to me. I could hot help seeing how nrticli
higher she valued mv society than that of rnv
nephew. Charles Raymond, who had accom
panied me from abroad." She never address
ed him except in monosyllables, and would
Hush all over wjvh embarrassment if he enter
ed the mom. Tbit, with me she was always
self-jvossessod, and so talkative and sociable
that I could not help pittying Charlie. He
was really quite goo 1 looking, and I used to
wonder, sometimes, at her antipathy. Poor
fellow ; how I dreaded to tell him of my ap
proaching marriage. It would lie a great
blow to his hopes, for he expected to inherit
my fortune.
Kate wasn't a bit like other girls that 1
had ever known anything about. Instead of
blushing at iny confession, that afternoon,
she turned pale, and shivered as if struck by
a sudden chill. I noticed, too. that there was
a strange quiver in her voice when she finally
consented to he mv wife. I was apprehen
sive that, Chad told her what, Anastasia had
said on her death bed. And yet I couldn't
helieve lie would be so inconsiderate. Some
how. I couldn't forget, that, warning. Anas
tasia was a remarkable woman, and would
surely keep her word, if ghosts are permitted
t,o walk the earth. Thinking thus. I began
to grow frightened at the shadows of inv
room, and hastily rang the hell for lights.
*\Vlv are vuji so late. Bridget ?’ I asked,
sharply, as the servant entered the room.
•Indftde. sir. and it's myself that’s been with
Miss Katie every blessid min nit. and she’s
almost kilt with a pain in her head.'
Could this be a result of our conversation
that afternoon?*. Considerably startled, I
questioned Bridget eagerly, Charley came in
while we were talking.
‘Katie, ill ?’ lie said, with a shadow on his
brow. ‘ls it anything serious, unde ?’
What business had he to take any special
interest, in Katie ?
‘Only a 'headache.* I answefed. coldly. ‘She
is subject to such attacks. Bring in the tea.
Bridget.*
‘We shall have a lonesome evening,’ Char
ley sighed.
I half believe that lie was in love with the
girl himself.
It was cheerless, though, without Katie.—
I missed her bright face behind the tea trav.
Charlev left his cup untasted. Mv jealousy
was aroused and I watdied him keenly.
As soon as we were alone. I said, half an
grily. ‘What is the matter Charlev ? You look
as if you hadn't a friend on earth. I didn't
know before that yon liked Katie so well.'
The crimson leaped up to his very brow.
‘I am glad that you do.’ I continued, has
tilv, ‘for yon will soon be connected by ties
of relationship. She has promised to be my
wife.*
‘You arc jesting, uncle !' he said, doubt*
ingly.
‘I was never more serious in my life,* I
answered.
Charley showed signs of agitation.
•You have no right to sacrifice that young
girl.’ he said, bitterly. You are old enough
to be her grandfather. Of course, she accept
e " vn r.. OM , llow dare you think
of such a thing ?’
‘No wondei mat yon have,' I replied, with
a mocking smile ; ‘you are disappointed of
your inheritance.’
At that moment the wind gave a fearful
shriek outside, and 1 thought of Anasta
sia.
‘Are you not afraid to marrv again ?’ Char
lie inquired, maliciously. ‘You remember
the warning.’
‘Nonsense!’ I answered : ‘it, will take
something more than a ghost to frighten me
out of this marriage.’
1 had scarcely finished speaking, when
there came a gust of wind and a crashing of
glass, and the storm actually swept, into t.lu*
room. We glanced around us in dismay.—
The bough of a large elm tree that stood in
front of the house had fallen against the win
dow.
Charley save me a peculiar look as I cow
ered over the fire, ami then barred the window
in such a manner as to keep out the rain. .A
strange gloom enveloped us lioth, and we did
not return again to the subject we had been
discussing. Our conversation was fitful, ami
it seemed a relief when we separated at bed
time.
There is no use of denying that I was
troubled a little with superstitious fears.—
What if Anastasia should rise from her grave
as she had promised ? I peered around anx
iously into every corner of the room before
retiring, hut found no sign of any mysterious
visitant, t had such a fear of darkness, how
ever. tiat I left a candle burning.
Ti e fury of the storm had now abated, and
1 lay awake sometime, listening to the wind.
At last, however, t fell into an easy slnnit*er
How long r had slept I know not, when 1 was
awakened by an icy touch upon my fore
head.
I started up with a thrill of apprehension.
The light emitted a faint, sepulchral gleam.
Oh, horror ! what was that I saw ? A figure
robed in white, came gliding towards me from
the foot of the bed. '['lie face was hidden
from ray view. but. I know from the form that
it was the ghost of Anastasia.
‘William Raymond/ came in hoarse voice
from the figure; •[ am here to avenge votir
infidelity, and to drag you down to the grave
in my embrace/
J shrieked with terror as I felt her clutch
upon my throat, and cried, faintly. ‘Mercy!
mercy !’
‘You would marry Kate Nelson, would you ?’
whispered the ghost, mockingly. *lf you do
not wish to die’—and here the icy fingers
pressed so tight that I gasped for breath—
•promise me that you will not take a second
wife.’
‘Oh. I promise. I promise!’ said I half dead
with terror.
‘Woe bo unto you. if you deceive me !’ an
swered the ghost, solemnly. And I heard no
more.
It was some time, however, before I ven
tured to cast, a timid glance around the room.
The ghost had disappeared. The storm, too.
was beginning to subside ; but I could not go
to sieep rgain. for I found it. impossible to
orget that phantom and its deadly clutch
upon mv throat,. I resolved to say nothing
about it. ()f course, people would ridicule
the idea of a ghost.. Nevertheless. I did not
dare to we 1 Kate Nelson ; yet. how could I
explain this sudden change of purpose ? 1
fervently hoped that she would not die of bro
ken heart, ttie poor child 1 What should I
say to her ?
After considerable reflection, I resolved
to trust, this delicate affair to the tact of Char
lie. The proposed marriage was so odious
• n his eyes, that 1 knew he would justify ray
apparent treachery to her. if’ possible.
Mo rning came, and I arose in a feverish
state of mind. How I dreaded to meet Kate
at the breakfast-table ! but fortunately, she
did not make her appearance. Charlie look
ed so troubled, that I almost fancied lie, too.
had seen the ghost.
After breakfast. I said to him. with an em
barrassment that I strove to hide, ‘Mv dear
boy. do you remember what we were talking
about last evening ? # I have been thinking
over the matter seriously, and am afraid that
a marriage between Kate and myself will re
sult in unhappiness; but I have not the cour
age to brave her reproaches. Now. Charlie,
will von act as mediator, and make known to
her the change of mv views?’
‘Why, uncle.' he answered, and I was al
most sure that, I saw a gleam of mischief in
his eyes, ‘something extraordinary must have
happened. Yon are not usually so fickle !’
•We won’t discuss the matter.’ said I, in an
irritated tone. ‘Will you. or will you not
grant my request ?’
Of course. I will,’ he replied ; ‘but it, is a dif
ficult, t isk. The poor child will be so disap
pointed !’
I detected a joyous ring in his voice, and
looked at him rather suspiciously.
His diplomatic mission was successful,
however. Late in the afternoon Katie came
down into the library where I was sitting. I
had never seen her looking prettier.
‘Oh. Mr. Raymond !’ she said eagerly, ‘I am
c o glad that you have changed your mind !
It was all so unexpected yesterday. I nev*
er dreamed that you loved me in any other
wav than as a daughter.’
Was this acting ? Was she trying to de
ceive me in her sweet unselfishness ?
‘Then you never loved me !’ I asked.
•Dear Mr. Raymond, you know better,’ she
answered ; ‘only it was not exactly the kind
of love one ought to feel towards a husband.
You are at dear to me as if you were my own
father; but you are so much older than I,
that—— that ’
She hesitated, and did not finish her sen
tence. I remembered tny gray hairs with a
pang of mortified vanity. Was not the ghost
ly visit enough ? Must Ibe tortured in this
manner afterwards ?
The veil was’torn away from the delusion
I had cherished. Alas ! I had misinterpreted
her childish affection. It might be that she
loved another. I looked down into the face
where a vivid scarlet glowed, and read her
secret.
‘My dear child/ I exclaimed, attempting to
control my agitation,“tell me everything/
*Oli. Mr. Raymond/ she answered in con
fusion, ‘Charley has asked me to be his wife.*
The rascal ! No wonder that ho remained
with her such a long time that morning; no
wonder that of the satisfactory manner in
which everything had been explained.
‘The impudent, fellow !' I muttered, impa
tiently. -What did you answer, child ? Do
you love him V
Low and soft the answer came : ‘Yes/
Tim heart of woman is a mystery that 1
cannot fathom. I was certainly outwitted by
my nephew. He might have been afraid, how
ever. that my conscience would reproach me
if Katie showed her disappointment. I have
little doubt that she loved me far better than
she won and confess.
Ah. well ! they were married in due time,
and we are all living together. The dear chil
d>cn do everything they can to add to my
happiness.
Katie a beautiful woman, and Charlie is the
; staff of my o and age.
I never saw the ghost again. In fact. I
have good reason to think that the mysterious
visitant was a certain graceless newhew of
mine, who had fallen in love with Katie. 0
course I forgave the deception long ago. as it
saved me from a terrible mistake.
I am much happier, probably, than if I had
married the vonng girl whose heart belonged
to another. lam not certain, however, that
she did not accept Charley from pique at my re
jection. Any way. he has made her a goo 1
husband.
Bob Ingersoll to the Widow Van Colt.
In an interview published this morning,
the widow Van Cott. the famous evangelist,
now conducting a lively revival at Grace
Methodist church, denominated Robert G.
Ingersoll a “poor, barking dog.” Col. Bob
who lectures here this evening, has addressed
the widow this characteristic note :
Buffalo. Feb. 24.— Mrs. Van Cott—My
Dear Madam—Were you constrained by the
love of Christ to call a man who has never
injured you “a poor, barking dog.” Did
| von say these words to illustrate in some
! faint degree the refining influence upon wo.
toan of the religion you preach ? What would
you think of me if I should retort, using
vonr language, changing onlv the 9ex of the
last word ? I have the honor to remain
yours truly, R. G. Ingehsoll.

|3P*You have seen the story, l presume
j about the man who had been gathering rem
nants for making paper, and who put them
through a chemical process by which all the
1 color and stains were removed, so that the
paper would become white. After a long
experience, he stated that the hardest color
to make white was crimson ; the most difficult,
to he bleached out by any possible chemical
process was the crimson. And yet. though
our sins are like scarlet and crimson, the
blood of .Tesus takes every stain away.—

THE FARM.
Deep Plowing—lts Advantages and Disad
vantages.
Good plowing is indispensible to good
crops ; and good crop 9 cannot be m ide with
out good plowing.
What is good plowing on some laud, is
very bad plowing on other land. This may
seem paradoxical to some of your readers,
but a long experience and some observation
has satisfied me that such is the fact.
Let tne demonstrate : Red, stiff land should
be plowed deer); the deeper the better, even
to the plow beam : the deeper the better.
The advantages of this will be apparent to
every sensible, thinking farmer. The nature
of such land is inclined to pack —to get hard ;
hence the necessity of breaking up the under
sub-soil, that it may be sufficiently porous
for the roots of crops to penetrate, which
cannot be done except it is well broken. In
the old days, the coulter was used on such
land by good farmers, and did the work well.
Now. we have various patterns of “ subsoil
ers some good and some not good.
If red land be plowed deep and sub-soiled
properly, a fair crop may be expected, wet or
and r v.
Gray land, with a stiff clay subsoil, and
dark land, with a good clay foundation,
should be plowed deep—subsoiled ; but it is
not so necessary as with the red.
The above is my first proposition ; the sec
ond is, gray land without a red. stiff clay'
subsoil, is ruined by deep plowing. This has
been demonstrated often in my experience.
There is much of this kind of land in upper
Georgia even, and much more in Southern
Georgia, with a thin soil and a yellow, under
strata. Some clay, but mostly sand, and
porous. The “ subsoiler” is a disadvantage
to this land, and will kill it in two or three
years. Thirty years ago, my neighbor, who
owned a red land farm, and who plowed
deep, bought, a tract of gray land upon which
a field was cleared and had produced well.
He applied his long plow, tore up the yellow
under-strata, ruined his field, and the second
year turned it out to broom-sedge and poor
joe.
A few years ago. the turn plow was “the
rage.” In travelling over the country then.
I often saw where it had been mercilessly
applied to this thin gray land, with the soil
as thick as a cow-hide, and all beneath yel
low sand ; no weeds or grass to turn under,
and the land was killed forever, or until the
laws of nature should recuperate it. Plow
such land shallow—only the surface ; and.
although thin, with proper fertilizing it will
produce good crops and last well.
Good p’owing is a science that but few.
comparatively, have learned. It has been
thought and said that anv clod hopper could
make a fanner. Not so—“ Old Mother
Earth” is good to her children, an 1 yields to
their wants (less bountifully it is true) even
when maltreated and abused, but to be n
successful farmer (to make full crops) requires
intelligence and good judgment, as much so
as to be a successful physician or a lawyer.

Driving Rats Away Without Poison.
We know of three methods : First., the oi l
French plan. This is followed, chiefly in
Paris, by men who make it a special bnsines .
They take a deep tub vjf.fi water on the hot.
tom and a little elevation in the middle like
an island, on which is onlv a place for jns‘
one rat. to sit on. This trap is covered and
has a large balance valve, opening downward.
On the middle of this valve a piece of fried
nork or cheese is placed, and when the rat
walks on to it to get the choosp the valve
goes down, drops the rat into the water and
moves back in position, A road is made
Yom the rat-hole to the top of the tub hv
means of pieces of board nibbed with cfieos<\
so as to make the walk more attractive fo** the
rats. In the course of the night some ten,
twenty or even more rats mav go down, and
‘ r flip island was not there they would be
"•>und most all alive in the morning. quietly
swimming aroun 1 : but the provision of the
'ittle island saves the trouble o r killing them,
because their egotistic instinct of- reserva
tion causes them to fight for the exclusive
possession of the island, on which in the
morning, the strongest rat is •found in solita
ry possession, all the others being killed an 1
Irowned around him. Secon 1. the New
York plan, invented by one of the Friends.
’Fhe floor near the rat hole is covered with a
thin layer of a most, caustic potassa. When
the rats walk on thisdt. makes their feet sore ;
these they lick with their tongues which
makes their mouth sore, and the result, is
that they shun the locality, not alone, hut.
appear to tell all the rats in the neighborhood
about it. and eventually the house is entirely
abandoned by them, notwithstanding the
houses around are full of rats. Third, the
Dutch method. Tlrs is said to be used
successfully in Holland. We have, however,
never tried it.. A number of rats left to
themselves in a very large trap or cage, with
no food whatever. Their craving hunger
will cause them to fight, and the weakest will
be eaten by the strongest. After a short
time the fight is renewed and the next weak
est is the victim, and so it goes on till one
strong rat is left. When this one has eaten
the last remains of the others it is set loose.
The animal has now acquired such a taste
for rat flesh that he is the terror of all rnt
dom. and going about seeking what rat he
may devour. In an incredibly short time
the premises are abandoned bv all other rat*,
which will not come back before the cannibal
rat has left or died.— Exchange.
