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,

" 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." ' ~

| "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 !"
I see the phantom advance ; he lifts his
l.S? t? II
> v.-?i?uo.iunii'.is viuursj lie itppronclics

" A t o you afraid V'
A fearful moment of silence ensued; then
the Stiuleiil replied, but in an altered voice: I
"I ftm hot!
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. Thoso two swindlors
carric I them oft, after having acted a
farce, which we, like ninnies, believed to be
real."

Comparative Robbery.
Tompkins bought a lint'horse?paid ?300
for bin). The horso, after a few months,
proved to be lame in the right shoulder?
Tompkins was distressed about it. 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.?
" Thai's a splendid gelding of vours, Mi. 1
Tompkins?pity be is so lame," says the '
blacksmith, "lie is.indeed," replied Tomp- I
kins: "but he is very lame, anu Iamnfraid
he can't be cured." " Perhaps hot, nnd 4
maybe lie can," says Vulcan. "How much
would you b?i willing to take for him. jivst as
he stands, Mr. Tompkins, money down?" 1
" Ah well, 1 don't know what to say lo j
(hat. If he is cured, ho is worth nil 1 paid
for him, and even much more, as horses go
now ; but if his lameness should continue,
you see he is worth nothing?not a dollar."
The blacksmith begun lo clmffer# First he '
offered $60; then &100 ; and, at last, $200 i '
for the animal. 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.
I drove that nail into the foot, but the j
lameness is in llie shoulder, 1 think you will
find."
As soon nsany one of I lit* ethical professors
nt Cambridge can find a moment's relief j
from the Spiritual rapping discussion, Mr-, j
Tompkins and his friend would he delight
ed to receive a learned opinion from Old j
Harvard, upon the question of comparative .
roguery between ilie parties to this horse j

Thk Difficulty oy Waiting.?In the
course of a political leader, the London
Times enunciates the following truisms,
which, though perhaps trite, are worth pon- '
(taring on: 1
" Of coitrse il is very hard to wart. No 1
matter whether you have to wait in certain- '
iy or in doiibl; .whether for the fulfilment
of a promise or the miiviil of a 'shipload of
money,' wailing i3 tedious, itnd one feels j
ihtit pmwnco i.s u virtue. Young Hopeful j
cannot wail for dinner, mid spoils his nppc
tile and digestion with apples, and bread
and buKcr. Older grown, lie e?hnol wait
for his minority, and borrows. Teti people |
to wait, and ihey answer tlml life is allwaiting,
that they have waited long enough,
>ind \yailing makes fools. Yet wailing is
the School of moral strengih. The grand- '
esi nrhievements have to l>e waited for,?
Small minds are always fiazing and leaking ;
so when the time comes ihey ure Ciand ?iI
hoi stale or empty."
