WHEN THIS 'LD HAT WAS NEW.
Before this hat was made.
King George was on his throne.
Our fathers all were rebels then,
And fought for Washington ;
The torles cheered for old King Georgia
The Revolution through,
And bragged about their loyalty,
Ere this old hat was new.
When this old hat was now,
The sons of that base crowd
Revived the cry of ‘-Loyalty,’’
And bellowed it aloud !
The Government our fathers made.
For them would never do ;
And they have torn its bulwarks down
Since this old bat was new
When this old hat was new,
There was no public debt;
No greenbacks took the place of good;
No millionaire had yet
His pile in seven-thirties spent.
On which no tax was due;
But each man fairly paid his tax,
When this obi bat was new.
When this old lmt was news,
This land was in its prune;
Mi- 1 egenation was untaught
in all this happy clime ;
And white folks then were thou gilt as
Good as Sambo, Cult or Sue ;
But things have sadly changed about
Since this old hat was new.
When this old hat was new-.
The poor wbiU* man was free,
And every year a bran new boy
C ould dandle on his knee ;
But now, for every child he U.'.s
He’s taxed till all is blue;
But tilings 1 toll you were not wo,
When this old hat was new.
When this old hat was new,
Gold dollars did abound.
And not a stamp in all the land
Could anywhere be found ;
But now you dare not kiss your wile #
rnlcHs you stamp her, too;
But things I tell you were not so
When this ©ld hat was new.
THE TRUE LADY.
A true lady is easily recognized in
public places by her neat and tasteful
dre4s, by her quiet, unostentatious, and
—if there is occasion for her to speak—
by Imt gentle voice and choice language.
A loud harsh voice and “slang phrases,"
coming from those who in other lespects
appear to Have lieen well brought tip,
always jar unpleasantly on tIR ear.—
There is a long list of unauthorized words
and phrases, which are in common use,
and are supposed to give a cerfaiu zest
to conversation, but which are very far
from being elegant. Tltey are coined in
various places, in the boarding school,
in the store, and iu the stieet. One by
ne they enter the family circle, and be
come disagreeably common. A msti who
continually interlards his conversation
with words which the dictionary ignores
does not, thereby, increase our regard
ft.r him ; and when we hear a woman
habitually usirg slang, we cannot but
feel that sTie is wanting in that delicacy
and refinement, which are the brightest |
ornament she can wear. Indeed, it is ;
very certain that the frequent nse of
coarse and vulgar words begets a disa
greeablc condition of miud which may
not be realized by the possessor, but
which is very apparent to associates.
A Sunday school teacher asked a little
girl who was the first man. She answer
ed that she didn’t know. The question
was then put to an Irish girl who answer
cd ‘Adam sir’ with apparent satisfaction.
*L»!‘ said the first child, ‘you needn't
feel so grand about it—he wasn’t an
Irishman I’
mi T9EJBOST iraii.
About the year—, business called mo
|to a remote part of B— county, Tonnes -
see, and I was staying at the house of a
Mr. Robert. The family consisted of
Mi. Robert and wife, one son and two
daughters. The son’s name was Austin
lie was about twsuly years of age and
. seemed to be very intelligent. The girls
were no less intelligent than Austin.—
1 Adel is the eldest was about seventeen
and Julia, the youngest about fifteen.
Pretticl' girls I never saw. 1. loved
them both as soon as [ had seen them.
We were sitting by a blazing fire talk
iug and laughing as lively as il we had
been acquainted lor years ; when a sud
den noise as if some largo building was
falling iiitenpphd us.
“Ugh ! ugh ! I ngh ! ! ! ; ’ said some
one as i( frightened out.of his senses.
Ail of the family rushed to the door ]
except Julia whosat still and remarked, |
“It’s Bill Jenkins running from the
ghosts again ”
Scarcely had the words escaped from
her lips when in rushed a tall, gawky,
awkward, alnv'st beardless fellow, puff
ing and blowing like a locomotive.
“What’stlie matter;” said Mr. Rttlv-rt.
“Matte' (meugl- ! said Bi:l, his eyes
looking almost as largo as the bottoms
of two common siz'd teacups. “Out
yonder” he continued throwing himself
down upon a chair ; “out yonder! heard
a luvhy a cryin,’ and then somebody a
groanin’ and snuffin’; and I toll yc I jest
got away Iriun that*.”
At this I could md suppress a laugh.
“You noedti’i laugh* old boss,” coutin
ed he turning to me; you needn’t laugh
for I’ll sweur it’s no fun ; “it’s jest so
I’ll swear it.”
I turn and tc Aimlin.aud said,
“Let ns accompany him back to the
place where bo heard the noise an 1 ‘solve’
the ghost, for him ”
Austin was silent.
“Will van go ?“ I asked.
Austin began t<> stammer out some
thing.
“Darn me !” intemtp’D'd Bid, ‘‘darn
me gentlemen if y u get me buck lhar
any more; see if von do !”
“Then tell us where it was,” said I,
•‘and we can. hear it, we’ll s dv; ■ it sure.’’
“Austin don’t care much ahotl l going,
1 believe,” said Adelin.
“You are not superstitious are you ?”
I asked him.
“No” said lie, “I’m not superstitious,
lmt I’m afraid of catching col I that's
all.”
“I propose,” said Julia, who had been
silent till now “that we all go, Mr. Ma
rion, Austin Adeba and mys If. The
moon is now tip, and '! would be a pleas
ant walk Ibr ««, besides, wo might have
S' me real fun.”
After sonar, hesitation on Austin’s part
this proposition was accepted. Bill told j
us where lie had heard the glmst would
lmt go with i s.”
"Off we started. When vve came to
the spot aye found that Bill had knocked j
down about twenty paniuds of thi; fence
Wo ! ad gone two or tl reo hundred yards ,
talking very lively when w° entered a
low dark place in the, road ; the timber
was very tall ami thick which caused it 1
to he darker than anywhere .Iso. When
advanced a few paees into this place :
our cm versation stopped. Scarcely had 1
we ceased talking when.
“800 woo woo-ugh ! went something
near us.
“What’s that ?” said Austin halting.
I advanced, and Julia stepped to rny
side and said—
“lt’s Bill’s ghost, sure”
“Ou-boo-ho-woo ngo! came forth
again.
I could suppress my laughter no j
longer It proved to he nothing more j
nor less than a hog which was not sleep
ing comfortably and was thus complain
ing.
"What is it?” insisted Austin who
had not yet found out what if was.
Justthen we came t > a hog bed and the
bogs ran off’ frightened as bad as Bill
was.
‘‘Humph !” said Austin ; "it’s hogs I’ll
swear that caused 81l se much running.”
We turned and went back to the
lionse and bad a fine laugh at Bill about
his ghosts; but Bill would not give up
Int that bis were real ghosts.
I learned that there were but few per-
sons iu this neighborhood who were not
superstitions.
I was informed that the place where
Bill had heard the ghosts was really
haunted.
Among other stories that were told
that night concerning the place was one
as follows:
Some time ago a man was coming
through this place : it was very dark;
be beard something by the roadside ;
tnrning in the direction of the noise lie
perceived something white. lie spoke
to her ; she raised her arms above her
head, and said:
“John Kinsler, if yon would be happy
yfiu mnst marry Jane Melton ami have
the Rubert family at the wedding. Re
member John Kisler ?”
So saying she dropped her arms, and
ascended slowly upwards until she was
out of sight.
John afterwards married Jane, and
the Rubert family were at the wedding.
I expressed a desire to see or hear
some such ghosts, but Austin thought
1 would repent of my wish when I saw
them.

QUITM AN, GUO., DECEMBER 18, 1868.
Bed-time came, and W3 retired as the
clock struck twelve.
I lay awake in bed a long time, think
ing of the incidents of tl>(? day.
i thought of Adelin and Julia ; which
1 loved best 1 could not tell.
Nothing else took placo worth rela -
ting here during my stay at Mr. Hubert’s
I 1 'ft nqjct morning, ‘ living and loving.”
Two years after the above mentioned
’incident took place. 1 w.is passing
through that part of the country again
and ofoanr.se I called on Mr. Rubert.
1 found that the neiglib rlioiid was as
superstitious as ever. The place where
Bill Jenkins had heard the ghost was
still httnnjed. Many things bail been
heard ; sights had been scon from ail
Angel to Beelzebub himself.
1 was very anxious to come across one
of tin: ghosts and during rny stay at Mr.
Robert's I passed through the haun
ted place at all times of the night but
saw ami heard nothing. 1 filially came
to the conclusion that it was all imagin
ation.
One dark night in July I was passing
thronvfh this place and heard something
make a noise in the. dry leaves near me:
I liming towards the noise 1 beheld sonjo
that looked, I thought very innoli like a
ghost,. It seemed to be the figure of a
woman. There was no waist nil her
dress and it was very long. All this
I could not make out notwithstanding
the darkness.
T stood still to see what she would
do. I must acknowledge that 1 did not
feel exactly cool just then but I managed
to appear so.
"Marion,” said the ghost, “If you
will he happy yon must, marry Julia
Hubert. Rcn\embrr Marion I”
Judge of tn v surprise and horror when
the ghost spread out her arms and as
- upward, until she was lost in the
timber? What could IJo scared as I
was, T did not run knocking down the
fen.ee as Rill Senkins did.
T started on slowly toward Mr. U’tt
Herts; after I had gone a few paces 1
heard a distant roaring behind me that
continued.more ilian two minutes. T
did not look back for I did not care.about
coming in contact with another ghost
that, night.
At an early hour 1 retired. Next morn
ing when T catne into the parlor .Tn!ia :
was there alone. When I entered she
greeted me blushing and trembling.
After T had looked aronnd and con
vinced myself that no one was near I
said.
“Julia at last, I have seen a ghost.”
When I said this Julia again blushed
and turned her head from me.
“What kind of a ghost was it?’ said
she.
1 told her all T had seen but omitted
wliat the ghost had said.
Julia told me that she had seen one
just bke it two or three nights before.
“1 suppose,” said she, “that you have
become snperstitous ?” '
1 implored Julia not to mention it. nil- j
til I coni’ find out something more "a- j
bunt the ghost and she promised.
1 determined to pass through thip ■
place every night during my stay at
Mr. Robert’s which was -t<> continue a-;
bout two weeks from this time.
For several night’s I beard nothing,!
nor did see anything like a ghost, •until
the night, before my departure when
walking along I beheld the same ghost
at the same place standing about twen
ty feet from me wbeh T first beheld it- I
stopped and the ghost, said,
‘‘Marion to morrow yon leave this
place and yon have not asked Julia to
be your wife. Go and ask her at once.
Remember Marion !”
Instantly I rushed forward and threw
my arms around the ghost. She shrik
ed and started up; I held fast and up
we went.
No pen can describe no tongue can
tell in fact no one can imagine rny feel
ings at this moment.
Up we went Still I held on to the
ghost. But I was becoming sie.k of rny
situation. 1 bad rny whole weight to
hold np by holding to the phantom.
“Let me down ! shouted I.
“Promise un one thing said the ghost.
“Promise that you will leave the spot as
soon as you touch the ground.”
‘I promise anything to got from here,”
said 1.
“Let ns down !’’she shouted, as loud
as I had
Down we went But as we went down
I was very busy trying to find out some
thing more abent her. J found that she
had a large rope around her, and was
drawn up by it. A loop was made for
her feet then one for each hand ;.and she
could stand upright with-the greatest
ease.
Just as we touched the ground I
took oot my knife and cut the rope just
above the head of the ghost.
Siie shrieked and fell to the ground; I
raised her up.
“Ob ?’ said she Beelzebub will- be here
inja moment. See tbeie he comes now!’
Here she tried to leave me but I held
on to her. I heard a .terrible noise in
the dry leaves just behind me. I looked
around and something was approaching
As near as I could discern in the dark it
resembled a very large man.
It came up very close to me and stsod
still for a moment ; then it tapped me
on the shoulder, and said in a rough
hoarse voice.
"Come!”
I put my baud down to the ground
arid as hick would have -it, I put it on a
stick about as large as a man’s arm. 1
snatched it np and gave "Beelzebub” a
blow which brought him to the gi omul
My ghostly companion again shrieked
and feik I caught her up iti my arms
and retreated as last as my legs could
Carry me. Presently I ran against the
fence and knocked as much of it down as
Bill Jenkins did. But I did not stop,
but went on into the house.
I sat the ghost upon a chair, and call
ed for a light. She here made a great
effort to escape, but all was in vain.
A light was brought; veil covered her
lace, and it was with great difficulty that
l removed il. ’After a considerable strug
gle the veil was removed and lo I it was
Jiilia Hubert I
She shriked and fell to the ground, and
was then carried to her room.
Just 'lere, in came a .negro gili, a slave
of Mr. Rubert’s looking us though she
was frightened out of her senses.
“Massa 1 massa ! run in do kitchen
riglrt quick ’cause Sambo in dar all
bloody, an’a bleecHn’yet ; lie says 1.0
got be head broke.”
Austin and roysdlf went into the
kitchen to Mam ne Sambo’s head. There
was a very large gash cut to the bone, I
just above his left temple.
To be brief Julia had employed a ne
gro man Sambo to assist her. He had
procured along rope and fastened it a
fotiivd Julia as I have alredy described ;
and tlien climbing a very large tree put
tli(> rope through a fork and then des
cended. By this he pulled Julia as high
as the fork of the tree where she would
lie entirely out. of sight to any person
be’ow owing to the thickness of the tim
ber.
Julia was the ghost that told John
ICinsbt to marry Jane Merton, and Sam
bo bad always acted “Beelzebub” when
necessary. But after hyj had acted “Boel
zebuh” with me he swore lie “nebor
would be debit agin.’
I bore no grudge on account, of Julia’s
manner of courting me—on the contrary
I felt rather pleased and complimented.
In about six months from that time we
were married.
Years have since rolled by. A robust j
boy and a pretty little girl have blessed!
our union, and never have 1 repented for
one moment that I saw the ghost or that
Julia became my wife.
When the Conference assembled in

lady sent mouse traps to all her friends,
and when two or three hundred bad been

jumped the mice, to her great horror,
and filled the house. At the bottom of

During the homeward trip of the Hen
ry Ohalineey, from Aspinwatl, the steer
age passengers were so numerous as to
make them uncorr sortable. As for sleep
ing accommodation, it was aptly describ
: ed by a Californian who approached the
! captain and said:
’I should like to have a sleeping berth
: if yon please.’
‘Why, where have you boon sleeping
these last two nights since we left?’
‘We’ll I’ve been sleeping a top of a
sick man; but he’s got better now, and
won’t stand it any longer.’
Why is a baby like wlieat? Ans.—
Because it is first cradled, then thrashed

A youngster was playing in the room
where his mother and a lady visitor
were conversing. Another friend’ called
in the meantime, and after she left the
two —after the manner of the sex—•com
menced to discuss her peculiarities very
freely. Willie was apparently busy with
bis toys, but, after a little while looked
up sbVewdly and said to the visitor, ‘Mrs
Butler, that’s the way mamma will talk
about you when you go tway.’ The
youthful philosopher was about right.
