There is no doubt too little oare on the

we were cited tu an instance where a plan,

were nine, who, from various causes, did
not draw rations, from the employer of the

they procure a living ? The mysterious

It is a mist sib n idea, and a dangerous

a few generations ? I have heard various
hypotheses, among others—the habits of
the people, the dry cl.mate. The cftect of
the latter on the European constitution
would have appeared to bo sufficient to
account for the singular conformation, if I
had not been persuaded by natives of the

is peisevcredin, to an alarming extent;

In 185-—, I was in Dresden, I had be
come warn rutin hca'lh and my physicians
recomm tided that I slwulj travel.
1 had been in the city Imt a f«w davs and
not knowing es a single soul with whom I
wus tieqimin'cil Feeling ennui \ determined
to take a stroll, and had hardly loft my
lodgings, wh'-n I saw n llns-ar officer ap
pr<ta.thing me, whose face and form sc. tn -
<d fanklliur I immediately recognized
him as my friend Huron Wolfgang Von
Flu - idling with whom I had been at the
l niversify <>l llenlelborgeomo years previ
ously.
Ho was a man of remarkably strong
mind, very un German in bis ideas and no
tions, of plain practical common sense, not
at nil given to speculative philosophy, very
wealthy and remarkably fond of tiro good
tilings of (his life.
“Ah, Fred, my good friend,” sai 1 he,
R' a# f mg my hand, ‘where did you come
Itotn and low long have you been hero?”
W ell, \V ollgang, 1 have but lately arriv

‘•You must coma ami stay with me. that
is, if you are not afraid of ghosts, but I
think I have exercised them now ; however,
I will introduce you to the officers of mv

they are a jolly sot of fellows and I can
guarantee, as you Americans say, “a good
tnuu’’ to you Hut come, sit and .wn, for
you luok tired, and wo will drink some
b:er and talk over old t rues.”
Well, but, Wolfgang, how long have'you
been h re? I expected ti have heard of
you on your estate, quietly married and j
hunting wild tours.’’
“Lite devil—no soon after I left tho TJni
vemity I entered the service in this regi- 1
nient of Ilussars, in which I am now, and
I have been knocking about pyirm to en~ !
joy ntysolf ever since.”
“By the way, I have had qu’to an ad
venture since 1 havo boon here.”
‘About a woman ?” inquired I “Well,
yes, and not exactly yes, o ther, about and
with a ghost.” . • ,
‘ You are joking ?’’

officers it was necessary that I should
bo in the vicinity of my troops, and I was
bewailing igy situati n in presence of same
of my mess when young Count Von B re
marked : “Herr Huron, if you are not

“ Well, Van S , if y m will tell in where
they are, I will take them, that is if tiro
rats have not to» full a sway there.”
“ I w ill willingly accompany you,” said
ho -AVc Walked, bul a short disianco when
wo came to a long house, tiro lower part
of which was occupied by a shop kept by
the propria or of the house—there wan a
balcony tiro w hole leng’h ol the sfory
above, and ad or opening Hpon a stairway
which led to tho second story- -I spoke to
the shop keeper and told him my busi

that for some years past lro laid had many

—I examined thepreim-etwn nutely—there
wore live rooms opening ~no into another,
and a door t) each one upon the baiuonv ;
there was a s'airway near the first room,
which descended into tho collar which win
perfectly empty, anil qu ti damp, being
satisfied that tnero was no place for a hu
man being to conceal himself, and not be
ing able to discover any trap-doors, I felt
satisfied that no trick could be played tip
on me.
In the evening, as my servant Friz was
rather serious, I told him I could dispense
with his services for the night, and foitify- I
ing myiclf with some good cognac, and load- 1
ing my pistol, I determined to await the i— '
sue of events. I had previou-ly Itxked and
baried the outer do Tsand alsithe one lead
ing to the cellar, and each consecutive door
until I catao to that of my owa room which
was the last one on the balcony', it I al.-o
bi lted and locked. I placed my p : stols on
the table, drauk a ghss of brandy and light,
ed my meorshaum, aDd proceeded to enjoy
myself. I kept up that course of treatment
until 12 o’u’oik, when no ghost appearing
at that witching 1 our, when ghosts are said
to travel, I concluded that I would get into
bed aud read awhile.
I r ad until nearly two o’clock, and was
abont to extinguish the lights to go to sleep,
when I heard foats'eps on tho stairway lead- j
ing from the cellar. I had scrutinized that I
apartmeut most carefully, and was oertain |
that no odo could have beon there; tho I
door opened and closed with a 'oud bang, I
the next opened and I heard tho footfalls din- j
tinctly—they wero those of a woman—di
rectly my own room door opened of its own j
accord, and a female entered. Bhe was ap- ,
parent ly about eighteen years of age, with |
fair hair, deep biuo eyes, and the sadest ex- 1
preesion that I ever saw on any countenance;
her hair Was dishevelled, and hung about |
her fair white shoulders like sun light upon ‘

had a grown up daughter. My father visi

my father became my son in-law, and my
step-daughter, my mother, because she was

my wife got a son—ho was my tarher’s

At dusk on the same day, a snake equally

A little three yonr r la wax being baptised

waAer, wlrilo tho congregation woic praying,
a dtop t f water, that had b’en left on the
Daby’s forehead, begin to stream slowly
down its face, a stray ray of sun light fal
ling on it tho while from a ha!f-op< n shut
ter, and causing it to glisten iu its progress
like a brilliant cf tho richest hue. Just as
it was about to fall from bayb’s cheek to
the floor, the little one made an impulsive ef
fort is if to wipe it away, and the falling
drop was caught on the back of licr cLnbby
band. Speaking right out in meeting, as
1 er tiny hand woe strcMied out tow -rd ma
ma, she said, “Sec! mama, see 1 I dot

so suppress a smile, and in tho discourse
which followed, the incident was illustrated
when he said—our good deeds ever gluten

Imfluencr of Newspapers. — Small is
tho sum that is required to patronise a news
paper, and amply rewarded is its patron
said Danniel Vvubster. I care not bow

ho takes. It is next to impossible to fill a
shoot without putting into it, somethin"
that is worth_the subscription price .Every
parent whose son is away from home, at
school should supply him with a newspaper.
I remember what a marked difference thcro
was between those of my schoolmates wbh
had, and those who had not access to news
papers. Other things being <qual, the first
were always superior in donate, composition
and general intelligence.
