On a line evening, iTthc ?l>r!n- of 1830, a Stranger, mounted oh a noble looking horse, passed tdowly'over the snow-white limestone road leading through tho liliick Forest Just as the sun was, going to tost fuy the day, when.tho gloomy shadows wore 'beginning' to start, ho drew rein, as ho said: uThis must he near the spot, surely. I'll slop here, anyhow, for a while, and see what I c:?n learn. He thereupon dismounted, ntid bnfercd tbe parlor of the inn, where bo sat down beeide a ?(unh table. " ?.JI..\v v,t?t I m:nxyiu- SIctulivM ? rtald flu: 'landlord. >: ' j ' Sec to my horse, outside,'1 replied tbe guest, ' carciu?sly,,buf at. tbo same tithe ' eyeing the landlord from bead Jo foot: "nnd let nie have ??? i ' ? i ? i sonic wiue?Ubiue will do." The landlord was turning to withdraw from tbv stranger's presence, when be stoppedj and said : 'Wbicb wtiy, Meinhcor, do you travel f ?To Naustadt," replied the guest. , "You will rest hero to-night, I suppose ?" ul will stay here for two or three liours, so to roach my dostinntiou there in tho morn ing. I am going to purchase lumber for the' |. "And you 'have considerable money with you, no doubt if" asked tbe laudlord, inno | ccntiyr "Yes, considerable," sipping at bis wine disinterestedly. "Then, if you'll tuko my advice," said the landlord, "you'll stay bore till morning." ? ?'Why ?" replied tbe stranger, looking up curiously. "Because" whispered tbe landlord, looking around, na if bo was disclosing a great secret, add was afraid of being beard by somebody else, "every man that passoo over tbe road be tween this and Naustadt, for tbe last ten years, bus been robbed or murdered under very sin gular circumstance^, "j '?What were tbo circumstances ?" asked tbe stranger, putting down bis glass empty, nnd preparing to S1J it again. "Why, you see," tbe laudlord went on, while be appioachcd bis guest's table and took a scat, "I have spoken witb several who have been robbed. All I could learn front them is, tbnt they remember meeting, in tbo lone some part of tbe wood, something that looked white and ghastly, and that frightened their horaOS so that they cither ran away or threw their riders. They felt a choking sensation and smothering, nud finally died, as they thought, but awoke in an hour or so to find themselves lying by tho roadsido, jobbed of everything.". "Indeed!" ejaculated tbo stranger, looking abstractedly at the rafters iu the ceiling as though he was more intent upon counting 'them than he was interested iu the landlord's story. The inu-kecper looked at him in astonish ment. Such porfect coolness ho had not wit nessed lor u long time. "You will remain, then?" suggested tho landlord after waiting so??>e time for his guest to speaks "I?" cried the stranger, starting from his fit of abstraction, as though he Was notsuro bo wag the porson addressed. "Ob ! must cer tainly not. I'm going straight ahead, ghost or no ghost, to-night." Half nr. hour later, the strangor and a guido, called Wilhelm, wore on tho voud, going, ,atu pretty round puce townuls Naustadt 1 j)arsng?fliwb??f;Ji^tnWg; tho ..stranger oV | served that his guideflopked very.uiteaHy about Wu}etlring,'and Iwan" slackdning.his horse's pace 'as though be ihtondod', to drop behind.

' U ,t! n <*3i,',.. . ? I "Wou't hoF quorled; tbp granger, with mock simplicity in his touo. " , * The guide beard a sharp click, and , saw something gleam in his companion's right band. He seemed to understand pcrfoolly, for be im mediately droyo his spurs into bis horse's flanks, and shot ahead of his companion, with-j out another word. lie no sooner readied his old position, however, than tlm strangor saw lii^n givo a .a sharp turn to tbc.right and then disappear, as though be bad vanished through the foliage of the trees that skirted the road. Hehcurd tho clatter of his horse as be gal loped oft". Without .waiting another instant, he touched bis horse lightly with the reins, gave him a prick with the rowels, aud oft* the hobli animal started like the wind in the wake cf the flying guide. '' The stranger's horso being much ^superior to the other, the race was n short one, and. terminated by the guide being thrown nearly 'front bis saddle by a heavy hand which was laid upon bis bridle stopping him. ""lie turned In his bouty uenoid the stlahger^s" fiicc, dark and frowning, and trembled vio lently as be felt tlte smooth, cold barrel of a pistol pressed against his check. : ''This cursed beast almost ran away with mo," cried the guide, composing himself as well as be could under the circumstances. ''Yes, I know," said his companion, dryly, "but mark my words, young man, if your horse plays such tricks again, he'll bo the means of seriously injuring his roaster's health." They both turned and cantered back to the road. When they.reached it again, and turn ed the beads of their animals in the right di rection, ibe stranger said to hin guide, in a tone which must havo couviuced b'w hearer of his earnestness : ">Now, friend Wilhelm, I hope we under stand each other for the rost oi' the journey. You arc to continue on ahead fit me, in the right road, without swerving either to the right or loft. If I soo you do anything sus picious, I will drive a brnce of bullets through you without a word of uotice. Xow push on." The guide bad startud as directed, but it was ovidoot, from his muttering, that he was alarmed at something besides the action of his follower. In tho mean time, tho thunder ha I increas ed its violence, and the flashes of l'ghtning had become moro frequent and moro blinding. For awhile tho two horsemen rode On in silence?the guide keeping up his directions to the letter, whilo his follower, watched bis every movement, as u cat would watch a mouse Suddenly the guide stopped aud looked be hind him. Again he heard the click of the stranger's pistol, and saw his uplifted arm. "Havo mercy, Moinbcor," be groaned. "I dare not go on." "In Heaven's name, spare," implored the guide, almost overpoWcd with fear; '-look be fore me in the road, and you will not blame me." The stranger loukud. At first he saw some thing whito standing motion less in the centre ol the road, but presently n flash of lightning lit up the scene, and be saw that the white figure was indeed ghastly and frightful enough looking to chill the blood in tho voins of even the bravest man. If his blood chilled for a moment, therefore, it was not through any fear" that bo felt for his ghostly interceptor, for the next instant be set bis teeth bard whilo ho whispered just loud onougb to be heard by his terror-stricken guido: "Be it man or devil!?ride it down ; I'll folfoV; Two!" With a cry of despair upon his lips the guide urged his horso forward at the top of bis speed, quickly followed by the stranger, who held bis pistol ready in his hand. In another instant tho guido would havo swept past tho dreadful spot, but at that in stant tire report of li pistol rang through the d^c fqrost, nnd the stranger licard a l?orse.gal lortthrough the wocus.ridcrlcss.'r ' - - ' j ?inding"?iutTOlf lilono, the Btratiger 'raised his pistdl, took: deliberate aim at the ghostly' pnj rdcrdty rindpressed his finger npbn the trig* ?*?. ? . . i-i.? r ' ? ,! .b,.\\i.,i ffliq.apparition .approached quickly,, but in noviftstilc attitude. .The' stranger stayed f Ijis bu|df...

Thy can float so readily on its sluggish tide, and bask in tbe luxurious atmosphere as "Faineants." To tho energetic?there is so much antagonism in this sort of life; this lackadaisical weather developes their com bativeness, and they go "armed to the teeth" ready to war against its encrvuting effects,? which, liko the "Upas treo" promises?a thorough sleep. A few such days wo have bad recently, when even the rosoa seemed ready to fuiut, and only their rising perfume, assured us of vitality. "?he bruised plant that throws, Its sweetness from the wounded part, Rrentlics fragrance out of woes." To these aforesaid "Faineants,"?life is a mere vegetation ; a kind of negative existence ; wherein,?'-live while you live," menus,?*-cat, drink, sleep,?and if it is within reach,?be merry !

Constitution of the United States, and to preserve the Union with all the dignity, equality and rights of the several States unimpaired, and that so soon - as those bbjects should bo accomplished the war on the part of the government should ccaso : And whereat,, the President of the United States has heretofore, in the spirit of that de claration, and with the view of securing for its ultimate and .complete'effect set forth several proclamations offering amnesty and pardon to persons. Who,bad, been or were concerned in "trio -jjforcsaid rebollion, which proclamations, hpwever^verc atfeadgjl yffi prudentjai pre servations and exceptions tTrn^fWfrrfiV M$Sg: sary and proper, and which proclamations were respectively issued on the eighth day of De cember, 18G3, on the twenty-sixth day of March, 18G4, on th? twenty-ninth day of May, and on the seventh day of September, 1867 ; and whereat, the said lamentable civil war has long since altogether ceased, ?ntn an acknowledgement* by all the States of tho su premacy of tho Federal Constitution nnd i the government thereunder, and there no longer oxist any reasonable, ground to apprehend a renewal of the said civil war, or any foreign interference, or auy unlawful resistance by any portion of tho people of any of the States to the Constitution and laws of tho United States; And u-hrrras, it is desirable to reduce the standing army, aud to bring to a speedy termi nation military occupation, mnf tiftl hiW, mili tary tribunals, abridgement of, freedom of speech and of the press, and suspension of the privilege of kahvas corpus and the right of trial by jury, such encroachments tiifon our ircc institutions in times of peace' being dan gorous to public liberty, incompatible with the individual rights of the citizen, contrary to the genius und^ spirit of our republican form of government and exhaustive of the national re sources j And tchereas, it is believed that amnesty and pardon will tend to secure a complete aud uni versal establish aicjit nnd prevalence of muni cipal hiw and order, in conformity with tho Constitution of the United States, and to re movo all appearances or presumptions of a re taliatory or vindictive policy on the part of tho government, attended by unnecessary disquali fications, pains, penalties, confiscations nnd dis fronchiscmcuts, and on the contrary, to pro mote and procure complete and fraternal tc* conciliation among the whole pcoplo, with duo submission to the.
