night, and everything was visible. She
went up io the corpse and pulled its

arrived, perhaps.) Then she went home,
carrying the shroud with her.
After supper. When everybody had
gone to bed, all of a suddeu the corpse
tupped id the window, saying. "Qi\c me
my shroud ! Give me my shroud!" The
other girls were frightened out of their

shroiid, opened the window, and said :
' There, take it."

Just then a cock crowed; the corpse
vanished.
Next night, at the same hour, after
all the spinners had gone to their own

Sealing tub Vow.?A cor c-pin
dent of tho New York Co.nnirrci'il Ad
vertiser, writing from the llotiud I>akc
camp meeting , tells the following sto
ry:
Many people sleep in tho sn?n ?ont
here, being separated by partitions. As
young Methodist fellows are thrown
with pretty young ladies a, good deal, it
is nothing against thetn that they some
times, fall in love.
Iiaat night they say, this happened;'
A young Methodist fellow' from liallston
had become quite interested in a protty
daughter of a religious farmer. Last
night, while a dpzon of old eold-bcarted
fellows woro trying to Bleep they were
continually fliJtUrbea Vy the lover,"spoo
ny talk, which they distinctly heard
through the.colteu cloth partition.
They heard him say in a low, sweet
clarendon voice, "Now, Carolina dear
do lt-.t me seal tho vow-?do !"
"No, .lames, 1 cannot. What would
lily father and mother say?" replied a
girlish voice.
"Hut, Caroline, you have promised to
he mine?no at let us seal the vow?fct
m, do: let us?won't you? Do kiss
