GsmoEa.iL&iOT. The Ghost Itaiser. My undo Beagly, who conimouced his commercial earoer very early in tho present century as a barman, will tell stories. Among them he tells this singular ghost story so often that I am heartily tired of it. In self defence, therefore, I publish the talo, in order that when next the good, kind old gentleman offers to hore us with it, everybody may say they know it. I remember every word of it. One fine autumn evening, about, forty years ngo, I was travelling on horseback from Shrewsbury to Chester, I felt tolera bly tired, and was beginning to look out for some snug waysido inn where 1 might pass the night when a sudden thunder storin camo on. My horse, terrified by the i lightning, fairly took the bridle between his teeth, and started off with me at a full gallop through the lanes and cross roads, until at length 1 managed to pull him up, ;??i ,i.? ,1 -< ~ .?? ....... ju^i 11 viii me uuui 01 u neat country Hill. " Well," thought T, "theie was wit in I your madness, oM boy, since it brought us | to this conifortablo refuge." And alighting, I gnvo him in charge to the stout fanner's boy, who aoteil as hostler. The inu kitchen, which was als?> the guest room, was large, clean, net md comfortable?very like the pleasan^ bos telry described by Tsank Walton. There were several travellers already in the room, probably, like myself; driven there for shelter?and they were all warming themselves by the blazing fire, while waiting for sup per. I joined the party. Presently, being summoned by the hostess, wo all sat .1^..,.. : -- mud u hi vi > u III i jii ill l'ol iu a MIJUIv1ll{t rupslsl of bacon and eggs, corned beef, and carrots, and stewed hare. The conversation naturally turned on the mishap occasioned bv the storm, ot' which every one seemed ?o have his full share.-? One had been thrown off his horse ; anoth er driving in a gig had been upset into a muddy dyke; nil had got a thorough wetting, and agreed unanimously that it was dreadful weather-?a regular "wilonea' sabbath.1' "Witches nml gliosis prefer for their sabbath ?. fine moonlight to such wonther ns this!" These words were littered in a solemn tone, and with strange, 'miphasis, by one of j tho company. He was a tall, dark looking man, and I had set liiin down in my own mind as a traveling merchant or pedlar.? My next neighbor was a gay, well looking, { fashionably dressed young man, who, bursting into a peal of laughter said : " You must know the manners and Cus- t tosns of ghost* very well, to be able tell 1 that they dislike getting wet or muddy/' The first speaker, giving him adaik fierce , look, said : " Young man, speak not so lightly of j things above your comprehension." M Do you mean to imply that there are ] such things as ghosts?" "Vorbaps tliero are, if you had courage ' to look ni tliein." The young man stood up, flushed with J anger. But presently resuming Ins-seat, lie , said, calmly : "That taunt should cost you dear, if it \voro not such a foolish one." "A foolish one!" exclaimed the merchant, throwing on ihctablea heavy leathern pnrso. " There arc fifty guineas. I am content to loso them, if, before this hour is ended, X do not succeed in showing you, who nre ho obstinately prejudiced, the form of any one of your deceased friends ; and if, after J you have rccognizcd him you will allow him i 1 to kiss your lips." Wo all looked at each other; but mj vorthrr nnirrlihrv/ still it< !?/> I J o e?-; 1 manner, ropiiod? " You will do that, will you ?" " Yon," said the other, "I will slake tlieso | fifty guineas, on the condition that you will i pay a similar sum if you loso." After a Bhort pause, the young man said, | gaily t | "Fifty guineas, my worthy sorcerer, aro j inoro than a poor college oi<ar ?ver posses?ed ; but horo are five, which, if you aro j fttij'fled, I shall bo most willing to wager." , The other U>ok up his purse saying in a i ?ont?mptuous tone j vYoung gorulethan, you wish to draw b*ck."

"J- **'' V V * | "ljoio," paid I, "ajo four guineas which I , will Rl.'lke on-your wagor." No sooner had I inado this proposition,, than the rest of tlio company, alt rooted by [ the singularity of tlie affair, cauio forward to lay down the money! and in ? minuto or two the llftv guineas wore subscribed.? The merchant appeared so suro of winning I that he placed all tho money in tho stuj dent's hands, and prepared for bis cxpuii ' men! Wo selected for tho purpose a small summer-house in the garden, perfectly isolated, and having no means of exit, but, n window and a door, which wo carefully fastened nftor ntneinnr the vounrr man within. Wo put writing materials on a small table in tho summer-house, nnd took awny the candles. Wo remained ontsido with the pedlar among us. In a low solemn voice lie began to chant the following lines: " Wlmt rfecth slow from the ocean caves AikI Ibo stormy surf! Tlio phantom pufo sets his blackened foot, On the fiet<h green turf." Then raising his voice solemnly ho said: " You asked to seo your friend, Francis Villicrs, who was drowned three years ago, off tho coast of South America; what do you ?ee ?" "I seo," replied the student, "a white light arising near tho window, hut it has MM frvrm W t:i- ? .... . , w 10 iinv (ill it11\:v3i ?.itill UIUUH, We?the spectators?remained profoundly silent. "Are you afraid ?" 'asked the merchant in a loud voire*. " I mn not," replied tlie student, firmly. Alter a moment's silence, the pedlar stamped three times on the ground and sang: " And tho phantom white, whose clay-cold fucc \Vns once so fair. Dries with his shroud his dinning vestAm! his sea tossed hair." Onco more the solemn question : "You who would see revealed the masteries of the tomb?what do you see now?" The student answered in a calm voice, hut like that of a man describing things as they passed before him : u I see tLiu cloud taking tlie form of a ' phantom ; its head is covered with a veil ? it stands still !" "Arc you afraid V "I nm not J" We looked at each other in horror-stricken silence, whil > tho merchant, raising his arms above his head, chanted in a sepulchral voice: ' And the phnntom said, as lie rose from the wave; lie shall know me in sooth I I will t?? to my friend, guv, smiling, and fond, As in our first youth I" What do you sec !"

Willi strange and frantic gestures the merchant then sanij : " Aii'l tin' phantom said to (ho mocking seor, I vofne f.om tliu South; Put thy hand on my lmn'di?thy heart on n:y heart; Thy mouth on my mouth." " What do you soc ?" " Ho comes-?ho approaches mo?lie pursues me?ho is Rt retching out his arms ?he will have tue ! Help ! help ! Save me.!" "Are you afraid now?" asked tho mcr/ liont in a ^ ! ? ? ikwivii'i^ ? viv;vj, A piercing cry, and then a stiHed groan, were the only reply to this terrible question. "Help that rnsli youth !" said thy merchant, bitterly. "I have, I think, won the wage bill it is sufficient for me to have given him a lesson. Let him keep his motley, ntul bo wiser for the future." I(u walked rapidly awav. We opened the door of the summer-house and found the student in convulsions. A paper signed with the name "Francis Villiers," was on the table. As soon as the student's sen?ea ?eiu restored, he u-keu vehemently where was the vile sorcerer who had submenially subjected him to such a horrible ordeal?he wonKl kill him! Ife sought him throughout the inn in vain; then, with the speed of a madman, ho dashed off across the. fields in pursuit of him?and we never siiw either of them again. That, chil uron, is mv Lriicst Story !" " Ami how is it, uncle, that after that, yuu didn't believe in ghosU ?" ?aid 1, the lii.si lime 1 heard it. " Because, my boy," replied my uncle, "nunher the student nor the merchaulever returned ; and the forty five guineas, belonging to me and the other travelers,continned equally invisible.

Triad all soils of remedies'? embrocations, liniI ments, Mustang included, tinder the advice [ of the very best veteriniaies; slill the lamci ness was obstinate, and grew rather woisp. He became desperate, and hit upon this device to sell tho horse. He drove an imlv 1 ten-penny nail plump into tlio light forefoot, and left it there f<?r ten days ; when ho led tlio tortured animal limping to n neighboring blacksmith to be shod. The blacksmith was n dealer in horses and rjuiie 1 a jockey in his way. Afiern while Tomp- ,c kins called at the shop for his horse.?

Tompkins was pcit-uaded, | ' nun nccejneu tne last oltJr. The money j was p-^icl, and the horso delivered on the spot. "Now," says the hlack>mith, "us the bargain is finished, I will be frank with you. Mr. Tompkins. 1 suppose I can tell you just exactly what ailed that horse." " Can you ?" says Tompkins; ' well, I shall be ^lad to hear it. 1 though: you uuist know all about it, or you would not have paid me so much money f?r him." The hlucksmith produced the nail, and asm ud Tompkinp, with great apparent fcatisfaction, that while, paring down the horse's hoofs, he had found that infernal long piece of iion, and drawn it out of the frog of the near fore-foot; "Is that all you know about ?" Tompkins nsk-d, very quietly. "All!" replied the blacksmith. "All ! isn't that enough, for conscience sake ?" "Well," replied Tompkin ,| "I don't know as it i-t. 1 will be equally I frank with you. sir.ci the bargain is finished.
