Two Flcturea of Yount; Married People, Tempest, Sunshine, Tears. Young married people are proverbial for their little outbreaks of temper towards each other. Perhaps not since the marriage of Adam and Eve has a case occurred when the honeymoon was free from such (bulitions. They are as natural as it is for apples to grow on trees. As a general tiling, too, they are harmless, and serve rather to increase the affection of the newly married couple than to diminish it, letter in married life, such outbreaks might cause serious disagreements, but iu the honeymoon they are but mists that rise in a moment aud are as quickly dispelled. »p-t _ sion for hunting, thst he not only diminished game. ■■■■ but it was, for a time, almost an impossibility to ob- I j u „t within the half-mile track, about tain hia service* in the cotton aud corn fields.

They may be Mixed with a fit of sulk* or of the pouts, but they imagine that they alone are In the secret, and expe rience rather a delight in the belief. They feel that although they are “out," yet it is something which only they are aware of, and therefore consider it a kiud of bond between them, even if it be a bitter But those who have parsed through the same experience are never deceived by the signs which young married people Involuntarily exhibit upon their faces aud in thelAnanner toward each other. When “Mixed Pickles" was played at the Acade my of Mu»ic a newly marrlod pair was present. The play was full of fun. and the audience was con vulsed with laughter throughout the performance. Whether one looked a^ tlio actors on the stage, or at the audience, with faces wreathed in smiles, the mirth wan contagious, aud laughter was irresisti ble. Amid it all. however, the newly married pair sat silent, on solemn as a couple of owls. The young people, whose honeymoon was hardly out of its first quarter, were in the pouts. Something had .oc curred to make them miserable, aud thoroughly miserable they were.

There are two men in tho employment of Mr. J. J. Clay who believe in ghosts. Ono of them is tieorge Brooks, the cemetery keeper, and the other is Jim Jemison, colored, who is employed iu the undertaking t > stablishuu , ut on Blu.berry ntn ot. Several moutUs ago an old white woman, long a cripple, died. She liked Mr. Clay, and having no other means of testifying her regard for him willed him her crotches. They wore brought to *be store, where they have since remained. Soon after tho old wnjpau’a death, Brooks was in the room in the rear of the store shaving. When he had completed about half of the operation he uttered an exclamation of fright aud rsu to the front of the store, declaring that he had seen the old womau's ghost. So amount of perhuasion could couvince uim that ho was mistaken. He said that he knew a ghost when ho saw' it, and that th old woman’s spook had certainly becu iu the rea room bunting for the crutches that hud been willed to Mr. Clay. Jemison heard Brooks’s assertions, and believed them to be true. Afterw ard, ho could not be in duced to stay in the back part of the store aloue after nightfall. When dosing up time arrived, bo would got somebody to go to tue tear window* with him. Upon several occasion*!, he told Dennis Keating. Mr. Clay's assistant, that he had seen the ghost of the old wpmsn, each time his eyes nearly popping out of his head from fright. Keating determined to play a practical joke on Jemison, and selectffl Saturday night for the occa sion. He kept Jemison at the store until after dark, aud then told him to go back and close up the rear windows. Jemison requested a bootblack who ass standing at the front door to go with him. “No," said Keating. “I waut this boy to block my shoes." Unable to obtain assistance, Jemison reluctantly went back to close up tbe windows. “Now,” said Keating to the bootblack, "you go back among the coffins near the rear room, and when Jemison comes out, rattle them together." The bootblack did aa he was bid, while Keating kept up a conversation intended to moke Jemison believe that tbe boy waa still at work at tbe front door. When Jemison finished closing the windows and came out, the bootblack rattled tbe coffins loudly. W ith a scream heard a block away, Jemison dashed through tbe store and out of the door, not stopping until ho reached the middle of tbe street. Keating induced Uim to return after much persuasion, but ho would not enter tbe store. His hair stood on end and his skin was of sn ashen hue. He declared that the ghost of the old woman jumped out of a coffin and grabbed him. Jemison does uot yet know that ho was the victim of a practical Joke. RHODES DANFORTH. . SUNDAY MYTHS. Some Curious Superstitions Which Origi nated Among the Negroes. A student of negro folk lore gave a Tflrobavh reporter some interesting information, yesterday morning, concerning the superstitious of the ne groes about Hunday. “Before the war." he said, “the negroes hod po- rnliar notion- atout the punishment for Hablwth breaking. I remember that when a boy of eight, my old nurse used to keep me in constant terror of violating the Habbatb. by relating to me the dire punishments which she claimed to know had beeu visited uV>n wicked violators of the fourth corn- maudmeut." “What offenses were considered most heinous?" '•Hunting and fishing. The negroes thought hunting and fishing cn Sunday unpardonable sins. At the close of the war, when every negro spent tho first money he earned to provido himself with a gun and an umbrella, bunting was bis favorite amusement. In (favery times, he envied the whites the privilege of hunting more than any other ono thing: and, as soon aa u« obtained his freedom, ho ranged the woods aud fields at his sweet will, sn old army musket on his shoulder, and a yellow stumn-tailed dog at his heels. So great was his pan- xxii (septendecim) of tho Periodical Cicada. Now. I wish you to select A spdt where the Cicada has not becu seen for the present year, to take an isolated tree (preferably in sn orchard), which will not be disturbed for the next seventeen years, and mark it plainly with a zinc label. The twigs should then be placed around tho 1>aho of the tree aud watched at intervals until they have hatched. You had better retain one or two in your office, and when they batch, examine thoso in tho field. Inform mo of the success of the hatching. A record should bo made of tho facts in the case and published iu a Iocs! paper or elsewhere, and a copy placed on file, Where it can be referred to seventeen year* hence, and a copy sent to me. The exactness of this record is of great inqsii t iuce, as on it the success of the experiment depdbds. ***** “Thanking you for your kiudnes*. I am yours truly. C. V.
