Within those swamps, in men y places, the sunlight never colors, so immenso is the growth-?so oxubornnt is tho foliage.

His companions showed that they knew his physical superiority, by keeping out of his roach in their boyish frol ics. These four boys were, after uight ouc moonlight winter ovoning, riding home after a do?r hunt, on ponies called "Marsh Tack ics." Thoy wcro sure-footed, spiri tod, and not afraid of anything. As Ihcy rode at a gallop through one of those swamps which have described, thoir horses' hoofs scarcely making a sound, as they sunk fctlook deep in the sand at ovory stride, suddenly ovory horse 3hiod and stood like a statue ; every mus cle Hko a whip-cord, heads up, oars pointed, cyo^ staring, nostrils dilated, all indicating gro?t fear. Olir boy.? hud hoeu very quiet in the*, apid rilo, Cor those ? ho hunt ali d.?/ aro +.00 tired to engage in useless conversation.? Surpria 3d at tho suddenness of the Btop, which however, did not unseat ono of our riders? ".Hallo," says Stephen, 'what oau bo the tow; ? never kuow I lorn (his pony) to scare before, *i ** I don't know," said Dick, 'but my horse almost knocked my uose off as ho throw up his head. Can any of you see any thing ?" Mie?'No, bull suppose the . fools got frightened at a streak of moonlight ; lot'e go ou?'I'm hungry and tired, and havo got no notion of being fooled this way." Tho reins wero tightened and spurs applied, but these trusty horses refused to advance, only attempting to roar. The moon was oc casion!)' eoverod by passing clouds, giving to the s*Wamp a weird, ghostly aspect, and through tho tall oypress and pinos sighed and whispered tho light soa-broozo. When the noon suddenly passed from undor a oloud tho borse? started and snorted, and just before thorn stood the object of thoir terror. Not iwouty yards to thoir right, a littlo iu advance, stood an objoot like a man, over whioh was apparently thrown .something white to veil tho cxaot shapo, yet its tremulous motion only ad do! to its terrible appoarunoo. Slowly it passed from thoir sight, when all spoke, What on earth was that ?" Will?'Hoys, I havo often hoard tho no grocs talk of spci-reis, and my motion is wo have gol ono, ov he has u-1, which is rather worse" Dick?'Look hero hoys, what shall wo do I'm for leaving this place" Mao?'How the mischief oan wo getaway, when our borsos won't movo a peg Stephen, yon know more about this country than wo do ; what sort of a thing is this ?" Stephen? don't know, and I am not go ing to form lus acquaintance if I oau holp it; Jot us get down and load." Will?"Look out boys I hero it comes again, larger, and looks nearer to us ; hold to your horsos ; I can scarcely kcop mino under mo." Again it appeared, growing brighter and brighter, with orio nnn pointing to tho boys.

Evory oyo was fixed on tho ob joot; tho boys'hearts almost ceased to beat ?their vory hair stood on end?tho cold pers piration to stand out from thoir foreheads? when tho object rapidly rccoded from thoir. vision; thou oaoh drow long breath, when Will said? "Boys this is terrible ; I would rather die than bo filled with this horrible fear." Mao?" Porhnps if wo load our horses, we cau got by before it appears ; I would no!, see it again for a hundred dollars.' Stephen and Dick?" Lot us do it quick, thou !" lu an instant thoy dismounted ; Will han ded bis bridle to ono of tho boys and said, "Load my horso on boys, I intouded to see what that is." Mao?-"Why, Will, how foolish t you might loso your life." Tho tlueo boys thon caught hold of Will aud endeavored to drrg him with thorn, but he resisted, nn? at l-.tst said, M Let us pass the object, and then ? will cxpluiu what I moau and Intend to do. They passed tho placo whoro the object was last soon, about fifty yards, aud stopped.? "Boys," said W., I said I attended" eceiog what that was; 1 will give youa^ood reason. I feol now that tho thing wo saw was a ghost ; I and though thoro may bo daigcr in it, I would hither dio iban fct.r that at any timo, J mu sco some other tovriblo thing ; and bostdos, I don't inteud to have any foolish follow cay Lo frightened mo." Thoy wiod ovory ofiorl lo slop him, but ho insisted, and Just then tuo horses >.tmtcd, aud on looking back, thoy found tho objeol of thoir foar iu apparently ilio sa tuo placo, j " Stand boro, boys," said W., " till 1 re turn."

Thoro it stood, about tho height of a man?apparently covered with gauze; it was mol ioniens, except tbo slight tromor which passed ovor it occasionly. Still gating steadily, ho advanced within a few ""cet of it and spoko?" Who are you, and what aro I you ?" No auswor ; but tbo troaraor was a little 1 moro decided. Will's hair began to staud on end, and bo could sec the .'.taring ?yes, and almost tho mouth opened to answoi him. Iiis imagination was clothing it with new '.errors, horrif himself, and with bis bear!, almost slii', iu as loud a voico as ho could command, ho cried, "Speak, 1 soy ; if you do not, 1 will .strike you with my whip !" No answer, but the figuro began to loso if* brightness, and Will beiug wrought up to tho highest pitch of excitement, and foarlng that oven then ho would not disoovor what was be fore him, struck with all bis forco ; at tho same moment, he folt his band and arm smart ing with p.iiu, ftnd the object of his tQrror|had entirely disappeared. The othor boys hoard a terrible shriek?which one only onu vtttor whou iu mortui terror, and rushed to his as sistance. (As they oumeup, 'no roso from the ground to which ho had fallen, and went inl ine Ji.itoly lo the place whoro tho ' gho.-d' had stood.)

" We arc r. bravo sol of boys, to bo scared by a spider web l' Slopheu?M Will, what did you think , when you naw that thing trombliug iu the tbo wind ?" "Think!" says Will, " it doca very well to laugh now; I'll tell you that when felruck that thing and it disappeared suddonly, and the briars soratohod my hand, I was so scared t'un?

By " preserving," wo do not mean the obi fashioned plan of converting fruit into an in digostiblo, unwholcsomo moss, by adding-" a pound of fruit," by which is not only pre pared to resist decomposition, but tho notion of the dig .stivo fluids as well ; but a method m by whioh this important constituent of hy gienic dietary, and espooiully tho moro perish* able variotica, may bo wade available for Udo out of iUoir season, Much lm? boon written upon tins subjoot, and many methods rooommonded ae " tho host," hut 8uc0oss iu this, us in othor depart ments of tuo ouliuary art, deponds move up on careful attention to details, and tho oxov oiso of good judgment, than upon this or that partioulnr method.

Almost ovory family has oouvenienoos for ateamiug ou small sordo, either wilh tlio com mon tin fctoamor, or tho elevated platform whioh can bo used in a common kottlo. To those who wish for more ampio facilities, wo would recommend tho foHowiug cheap and dmplo method : Tako a common washboilovj and have fittlod into it a horizontot platform of ehoct iron perforated frooiy with half iuoh holes, so as to allow the froo passage of steam.

Wo are informed by ono who is always suooossful in this business, that the fly vor of tho fruit i? bolfov prouowad without sugar, and she never lost a oan. If sugar must be used, it can bo added whon the oaus arc oponed for tho table Placo your dish of fruit on the platform of your steamor, having sufficient wator in the bottom, but not too much.
