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. HERE SHALL THE PRESS THE PEOPLE'S RIGHTS MAINTAIN, UNAWED BY FEAR AND UNBRIBED BV GAIN. 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 : Hillsboro’ some years since, on the last I day of the session a lud whose father had entertained some half a dozen preach ! era entered the room where the ministers j were seated, in a terrible state of excite merit. | "What’s the matter, Isaac? asked one i seem excited.’ • | ‘Excited ?

At the bottom of the box she found a paper directed to her from her neighbor, saying, “Madam, as you killed my cut, I take the liberty of sending you my mice.” 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?
