that this idea was correct. Like a detective,
having first established a satisfactory theory, I
set to work to develop its trntb.
In the afternoon I went oat to visit the sick
man.
He was ont of bed, dressed and sitting com
fortably in front of a small fire.
‘Glad th see you about, uncle Joe,’ I said.
‘From the reports concerning your condition
last night, I feared I should Boon have to attend
your funeral.'
‘I‘s gittin pow‘ful ole, murser, but I‘s got a
back han* holt on de airth yit, t'ank de Lord !
Ole nigger come mighty nigh gwine ter de lan‘
ob Canyun, do, sho‘s yer born !’
'I am afraid the revival meeting down at the
Church is suffering for want of your presence
and assistance,’ 1 remarked. ‘Who is leading
while you are disabled ?’
‘Dey’s two or free young brudders flat's pow’-
ful ‘zorters ‘s holdin* up de meetin 1 while I‘s
wrastlin* wid de debbul‘8 immensaries, ‘ he
said. ‘De debbul's tryin‘ might hard to git a
head in de race, but dat meetin* ‘s gwine ter git
up an* git. sho‘, for I‘s prayin' widout ceasin'/
You haven't been out for three nights, now,
have you?* I asked.
‘No, sah !‘ he replied emphatically, *I‘s been
on dat bed a grantin’ an* a groanio ‘ ebber sence
de night yer come ter de plantation. I fink I
gwine git out in de mornin*, but I‘s pow'ful
feebul yik‘
‘You don't think of going to the meeting to
night, then ?‘ I asked.
‘I gwine ter de meetin*? No, sah! de night
air dun kill me, sho‘, ef I do dat, • he replied.
*I‘s got too much mis'ry in de legs ter walk ter
de do !‘
‘Well, I hope you‘11 be all right in the morn
in?, uncle Joe,* I said, ‘for I guess you wish to
get to work in your crops before they get any
further behind. 1
‘Dat's er fao‘, Marser, 1 he said with much
earnestness, ‘I wants tei git ter wuck. Mars
Tom he ‘spises laziness, an* I ‘apises hit too.
I‘s a hard wucker, I is, an* I wants ter git back
inter de craps!‘
■Hasn't been out for three nights,* I thought
to myself as 1 left the house. ‘Well, old fellow,
if you haven't, your shadow has, and I shall see
this very night what that shadow means. ‘
That night I went out to see if the man who
was afraid of the injurious effect of the night
air on his ‘mis'ry in de legs* was taking proper
care of himself. The bird had flown !
I repaired to my old position on the veranda
and patiently awaited his return.
A little before midnight, the man whom ‘de
debbul‘8 immensaries* had so roughly used,
jumped over the fenoe, as he had done twice be
fore, and entered his house.
The ‘mis'ry in de legs* had all disappeared,
for a man of his age could not have walked with
more display of activity than did the ‘Hebrend
Joe Miller.* Evidently he had been mistaken
in supposing that the night air would kill him.
It seemed, on the contrary, to act as a powerful
remedy for injuries inflicted by ghosts.
One item of my theory had been developed,
and I turned into bed with a high opinion of my
powers as a detective.
The next day uncle Joe was early in the field
and toiled long and well. For several days he
continued this praise-worthy course, but each
night saw him take up the line of maroh for the
meeting house, bent on leading sinners to a
knowledge of their lost condition and to point
out to them the way to a better life.
Had he known with what care all his move
ments were being watched by the sympathizing
‘white jemuisU;' tLes tiaitine ‘Mare T,
agine te would have exercised more effluou,
Every night I saw him jump over the fenoie on
his way back from meeting. Every ci^ht I
kept a sharp lookout for the ghosts, determined,
upon the least intimation of their presence with
the object of my supervision, to render the
guileless old man' all the assistance in my pow
er. I was playing guardain angel, and in that
role, I ‘let myself out, ‘ as the sequel will prove.
For five days, excepting the intervening Sab
bath, Uncle Joe walked between the plow-
handles behind that infidel mule of his, with
the air of a man at peace with all the world and
the ghosts to boot. His tuneful voice rose time
and again in melodious song over the broad ex
panse of the newly upturned field. It is possi
ble that regret for past misconduct, and the
influence of the pious old Saint with whom he
daily associated, had converted that infidel
mule and given him a character in keeping with
his ‘solium an’ thodical’ countenance, for he
never donee raised an objecting hoof to the
praiseful songs of his master.
Tom was,leud in bis praises of Uncl6 Joe. ‘He
is a jewel,’ ‘ he said, ‘and is worth any two of
those lazy young rascals who spend so much of
their time gallanting over the neighborhood at
night I wish I had a dozen like him.’
But those days of honest toil began to tell on
the upright old man. He began to oomplain of
the ‘mis ry in de legs.’ I knew then that some
thing would soon happen, and so I redoubled
my efforts in the detective line.
I was standing in my usual position on the
veranda one night, a short time after Uncle Joe
began to complain again of the ‘mis’ry/ won
dering when he would reoeive his next visit
from the ghosts. I was sure that it would not
be long delayed, and I was not mistaken.
Suddenly the most piercing screams broke
the stillness of the night. With a bound I had
cleared the fence, and in a moment was looking
through the crack which had before yielded me
means of inspecting the interior of the aged
saint's abode.
He stood in the center of the room, one hand
resting on the back of a chair, and the otner
carefully holding a stumpy pipe. Not the
slightest sign of excitement was visible on his
meek and saintly countenance. No ghosts
could be seen, and there was another absenoe
of the smell of sulpber and brimstone. He ap
peared to be listening. He inhaled a few whiffs
from his pipe, and then, with a slight heaving
of the chest, gave vent to a series of sharp
yells.
‘Wow ! Who-ow ! Yoop ! Soo ! Doo ! Boo !
Whoop ! Yow-ow-ow-ow!!‘ he yelled.
But no ghosts were there, and as for sulphur
and brimstone, the air bore more of that odor
one finds hanging about a kitchen when bacon
is being fried than any other.
That pillar of the church listened a moment,
as if expeoting some one to come and inquire
the cause of the disturbance he was making,
and then hastily disrobing nimself, dived into
bed.
But no ghostB kicked him out and stamped
him. All was peaoeful and serene about that
saintly precinct
The preliminaries were finished, and U sole
Joe had put himself in trim for another thrill
ing recital of ghostly visitations.
Another item in my theory had been devel
oped.
Of course hs was desperately ill the next day.
His groans would have graced a hospital for the
maimed, and would have put to*the blush the
veriest hypochondriac that ever lived. I am not
so sure but that the high art displayed in his
groans might have caused the death of the mel
ancholy gentleman just mentioned because of
shame and regret at not being equal to snob
long drawn strains of misery. He could give
no aeoount of his last ''sperunoes wid de ghost-
tf es,’ for he was too much exhausted by that
fearful encounter to speak. Tom said that he
was gone up this time. I thought so too —gone
up for a season of reek Warm weather was be
ginning, and work in the fields was hot and
distasteful. Uncle Joe had ‘laid up for repairs.'
That night he went, as usual, to the meeting.
I waited lor his return, determined to test to
the fu'l my theory of his ghostly visitations.
As soon as 1 saw him jump the fence and en
ter the door of his domicile, I hastily pulled a
sheet from the bad in my room, and enveloping
myself in it, started out to give the ‘Hebrend
Joe Miller' an experience with a ghost which I
was sure he would remember.
When I reached the door I found it unlocked,
and softly entering, discovered the arch old
hypoorite standing at the fire-place Ailing hi
pipe.
In a voice that would have done credit to a
tragic actor, I exclaimed, ‘Joe Miller!
He turned quickly, and discovering an awful
figure, alt olotbed in white, which to his guilty
soul must have meant retribution for all his well
acted lies, stood like a stock, unable to speak,
his hair fairly standing on end.
I slowly lifted my arm toward him, and in
the same awful tones, spoke to him again.
‘Joe Miller ! You old ‘
He did not wait for me to finish, but with a
frighiened yell, genuine this time, darted un
der the bed where he lay groaning in mortal
terrors.
I advanced to the center of the room.
‘Joe Miller!‘ I said, ‘come out from under
that bed !‘
'Oh! de bressed Lamb! Lemme off dis time,
Mars* Ghos*! I aint dun miffin'! I s preacher
Joe, dat's pow'ful ‘ligious ! Take some dem
mean niggers on de udder side de fence! Oh !

‘Joe Miller! 1 I exclaimed, emphasizing the
demand with a tiemendous stamp of my foot,
‘come out from under that bed !‘
‘Whoo-ow!‘ he screamed, in an agony of
fright, ‘don't kill me, Mars*Ghos'! I‘s cornin'!
I‘s cornin'!‘
With many a trembling halt, he slowly emerg
ed from his hiding place. His features were
fearfully distorted with fright, and when at
last he rose to his feet, his dusty, dirty, disor
dered dress caused him to present an appear
ance woe-begone and forlorn in the extreme.
‘Joe Miller l.you infamous old liar !‘ I said,
‘how many times, in the last two weeks, have
you been to meeting ? Don't you tell me a lie,
for I know the number.*
‘Fo‘ de Lord, Mars* Ghos*! 1 he replied, ‘I
ain't gwine tell no lie! I‘s ben dar ebbry night,
but I aint gwine to it no mo'!‘
‘Explain, oh ! Prince of Liars 1‘ said the ghost,
,why you have for so long laid up on that bed
granting, groaning, and growling, imposing on
your master with lying tales of spirits that never
visited you, dragging from unsuspecting people
sympathy for your pretended woes, leaving
your orop to be choked by the weeds and grass,
and otherwise acting the infernal, grand ras

‘Mars' Ghos" he began, deprecatingly, ‘de

I exolaimed, interrupting him, ‘how can you
jump that fenoe out there so well if you've got
the ‘mis'ry* in your legs ?*
‘I aint gwine lie no mo 1 , Mars' Ghes'!‘ he
tremblingly exolaimed, convinced, I suppose
that the ghost knew too much, 'fo‘ deLord, de

He did so, and in a moment I was out of the
door and on my way to my room.
I had violated nearly every pre-cenceived no
tion as to the character of ghosts, but the guilty
old rascal was too conscience stricken, too much
frightened, to see through my thin disguise.
Great was Tom’s surprise the next day when
old Joe presented himself in the field bright
and early, ready for hard work ; but I said
nothing to my friend of the fraud which his
pious employee had practiced upon him. I
was sure that it would not be repeated, and 1
was afraid that Tom would discharge him it a
knowledge ol the old scoundrel s long series of
deceptions should reach him.
I had a letter from Tom the other day. He
said that the ghosts had entirely deserted his
plantation, and that old Joe was the best work
man he had ever known.

It has been said that “the Wood i* the source of life.'
It is as truly the source of disease and death. No life,
that is to say, no healthy tissue can he generated from
impure blood, no organ of the body ca-i normally per

The fluid that should carry life and health to every part
carries only weakness aud disease. Blood is the sonree
of life only when it is pure. If it has become diseased
it must be cleansed by the proper medication, else every

through the system. To cleanse the blood of all impu

Of the main avenue for escape of refuse from the human
system is utterly subversive of regularity among the
other organs. Let constipation become chronic, and,
leaving out the imminent danger of mfianmition of the
bowels and their total obstruction occurring, jaundice is
almost certain to ensue, the liver is lianle to become en
gorged. the blood and urine are poisoned by the bi e,
which also vitiates the juices of the stomach, and other.
unhappy consequences follow. Hostetter’s Stomach

these results and ttieir cause, as the case may require,
and is also signally efficacious in overcoming flatulence,

Among the greatest glories of St. Petersburg
are the two magnifioent cathedrals, “St. Isaac’s”
and “Oar Lady of Kazan.” In their construc
tion and finish both display an enormous outlay
of money, imposing architecture, costly materi
als. and exquisite interior decoration. It will
suffioe to give some idea of the former, whioh is
the more stupendous of the two. In the first
place, the oest ot sinking the piles on which the
foundations rest was $1,000,000 The building,
which is in the form of a Greek cross, is of Fin
land granite, and supported by over one hun
dred polished pillars sixty feet high and seven
feet in diameter. The cnpela is surrounded by
thirty more of these pillars of large size, whioh
support the gilded dome sixty-six feet in diam
eter, with a miniature cupola above. Then the
who.le is surmounted by a gilt cross, the top of
which is three hundred and thirty-six feet from
the ground. The exterior decorations are huge
bronzt» figures and doors, as well as Corinthian
capitals and Biblioal groups in the facade. In
side the effect is most impressive. Here again
are great pillars of polished granite, as well as
ten of iron covered with malaohite, and two
with lapis lazuli. Tfee walls aud floors are of
glistening granite and marble of different colors.
Pieturas of sacred subjects adorn the walls ; im
ages loaded wich jowols and gifts are met at ev
ery turn ; the altar is resplendent with bronze,
gold, silver, jewels, light, aud trappings ; gold
and silver chandeliers for hundreds of oandles
are hung frem the lofiy oeiling, and everywhere
shrine-lights and bnrniug tapers meet the sight
to complete the impressive grandeur. Daring
service the effect is heightened. The Greek
Cha-ch employs vocal, but not instrumental,
music. The responses are chanted at St Isaac's
by a large body of oheriaters without acoempani-
ment The esndles in the chandeliers are all
lighted ; several priests aud altar boys appear
in gold and silver vestments, and the people,
all standing, are oonstantly crossing themselves,
or bowing their heads to the marble floor, the
whole constituting a scene of profound devotion
to the Supreme Bring, that can never be forgot
ten. On account of irrneonoilable differences
between the Catholic and Bnsso-Groek Churches,
Russia still usee the old style Greek or Julian
Calendar, whioh is twelve days behind the new
Btyle Latin or Gregorian Calendar.

Diseases of the pulmo
nary organs are so prev
alent and fatal, that a
safe andreliable remedy
for them is invaluable
to every community.
Aver’s Cherry Pec
toral is such a remedy,
and no other so emi
nently merits the confi-
UDDV^ dence of the public.^ It
vliLniki ’ is a scientific combina
tion of the medicinal
principles and curative
virtues of the finest
“drugs, chemically unit-
if/IIred, to insure the gnwt-
est possible efficiency
PECTORAL. and uniformity of re
sults, which enables
physicians as well as invalids to use it with
confidence. It is the most reliable remedy
for diseases of the throat and lungs that sci
ence has produced. It strikes at the foun
dation of all pulmonary diseases, affording
prompt and certain relief, and is adapted to
patients of any age or either sex. Being
very palatable, the youngest children take
it without difficulty. In the treatment of
ordinary Coughs,* Colds, Sore Throat,
Bronchitis, Influenza, Clergyman’s
Sore Throat, Asthma, Croup, and Ca
tarrh, the effects of Ayer’s Cherry Pec
toral are magical, and multitudes are an
nually preserved from serious illness by its
timely and faithful use. It should be kept
at hand in every household, for the pro
tection it affords in sudden attacks. Iu
'Whooping-cough and Consumption
there is no other remedy so efficacious,
aoothing, and helpful.
The marvellous cures which Ayer’s
Cherry Pectoral has effected all over the
world are a sufficient guaranty that it will
continue to produce the liest results. An
impartial trial will convince the most scepti
cal of its wonderful curative powers, as well
as of its superiority over all other prepara
tions for pulmonary complaints.
Eminent physicians in all parts of the
country, knowing its composition, recom
mend Ayer’s Cheery Pectoral to invalids,
and prescribe it in their practice. The test
of half a century has proved its absolute
certainty to cure all pulmonary complaints
not already beyond the reach of human aid.

LIVER REMEDY
AND
BLOOD PURIFIER.
TONIC * CORDIAL.
This is not a patent medicine, but is prepared
under the direction of Dr. II. W. Case, from his
favorite prescription, which in an extensive
practice of over 27 years, he has found most
effective in all cases of disordered liver or im
pure blood. It is
ANTT-BZLIO'OS.
It acts directly upon the liver, restoring it,
when diseased, to its normal condition, and in
regulating theactivity of this great gland every
Other organ of the system is benefited. In
Blood Diseases it lias no equal as a purifier. It
Improves digestion and assists nature to elimi
nate all impurities from the system, and while
It is the cheapest medicine in the market it is
also superior to all known remedies. While it
is more effectual than Blue Mass.it is mild and
perfectly safe, containing nothing that can in
the slightest degree injure the system. It does
not sicken or give pain, neither does it weaken
tlie patient nor leave the system constipated,
as most other medicines do.
