-o Tbe Oalcnst. Only an outcast-nobody cares for her, Drive her oat, push her ont, don't let her stay, There lot her seek for friends, Thero let hor mako amenda, For all her wickedness-turn her away! Only an outcast-nobody takes her in, Coldly they turn her away from eash door; Badly she wandera on, Hope dead and pity gone, Bagged and hungry, heart-aick and sore! Only an outcast-nobody seeks her. Fierce blows the wind, and fast falls thc snow, Down on her aching heart, Till she's almost dead, Sighing, sobbing, aud trembling so! Only au outcast-no ono to calm her, No ono to call'her friend, neighbor, or wife, No gontle fathor, no tender mother, No loving eiater, no noblo brother, Friendless and homeless sho breathes out her lifo. Only an outcast, tho men said who found her, Hurry her off to tho alms-houao in haste; No ono to scok her nanto, Sho was a child of shame, Bury her out on tho old pauper's waste. Only an outcast, the grave-robber muttered, As in tho dark night ho stole her away From ber neglected tomb To tho dissecting room, For the physician's skill, and for his pay. Only an ontoast, tho young student called lu r. As ho removed the dark veil from ber face; Well may he gasp for breath, As be beholds in death, The poor, friendless orphan he led to disgrace! -O GHOSTS, OLD AND NEW. All tellers of pet ghost stories firmly be? lieve in their authenticity. This is an ad? mitted fact. And all who fancy they have seen disembodied Bpirits of spectral appari? tions, are equally satisfied that they were not under any delusion, mental or physical. The V?H?O? of a head, which haunted tho late Earl Grey, was said by many to have been a species of monomania, or optical deception; but when the head presented itself to tiie eyes of other members of his family, that theory broke down. The second Marquess of .Londonderry, better known as the celebrated statesman, Lord Castlereagh, told at one of his wife's supper parties in Paris, in 1815, the follow? ing supernatural tale, with tho most perfect gravity. Sir Walter Scott was amongst tho hearers, and often repeated it: Lord Cas? tlereagh, when commanding in early life a militia regiment in Ireland, was stationed one night in a large desolate country house. His bed was at ono end of a long, dilapidat? ed room, while at the other extremity a great fire of wood and turf had been pre? pared withiu a huge, gaping, old-fashioned chimney. Waking in the middle of tho night, he lay watching from his pillow the gradual darkening of tho embers on tho hearth, when suddenly they blazed up, and a naked child stepped from amongst them on the floor. The figure advanced slowly towards him, rising in statnre at every step, until, on ooming within two or three paces of his bed, it had assumed the appearance of a ghastly giant, pale as death, with a bleeding wound on the brow, and eyes glar? ing with rage and despair. Lord Castle? reagh leaped from his bed, and confronted the figure in an attitude of defiance. It retreated before him, diminishing as it with? drew in the same manner that it had pre? viously shot up and expanded. He followed it paco by pace, until the original child-like form disappeared in the embers. When Lord Londonderry died by his own hand, in 1822, Sir Walter Scott e- id: "This explains a story he told mo of his having seen a ghost, which I thought was a very extraordinary narrativo from tho lips of n man of so much calm senso and steadiness of nerve. But, no doubt, ho had been sub? ject to aberrations of mind, which often create such phantoms." Wo cannot seo how the suicide of Lord Londonderry ex? plains thc ghostly appearance of so many years before. Neither can we quito admit the rio doubt of habitual mental wanderings, of which no evidence is offered, and nono, we believe, has ever been recorded. The marquess boro through life the character of one endowed with most unusual self-posses? sion and even temperament. The suicide, in all probability, proceeded from some im? mediate excitement or incidental cause, rather than from any constitutional ten? dency. The most trhstworthy chroniclers of the day mndo no allusion to the latter possibility. They attributed the act to the harassing labors of tho late session, as woll as to mortifying reflections on his political character, with which tho daily and weekly organs of public opinion, opposed to the Go? vernment, abounded. Tho coroner's inquest brought in a verdict of insanity. Tho supernatural appearance referrod to abovo may have been a dream, ns it occur? red at night, when the narrator was in bed; although Lord L. declared ho was awake. Wo have heard a person of credibility say he once dreamt he was asleep and dreaming; that ho awoko and dreamt again, taking up the interrupted sequence of thought and action, as if nothing had brokeu it, and still under the conviction that he was asleep all tho time. It is beyond the scope of theory or reasoning to account for dreams. This ghostly child recalls another story of ii juvenile fetch, or wraith, or whptever tho .proper term may be, lately told to tho pre? sent writer by a friond, a senior of his own standing, which presented itself to him a long time ago in Wales, when ho was fishing in tho river Usk. The teller of tho talo is essentially a practical, rather than an imagi? native or romantic individual, with nothing dreamy or superstitious in his mental or cerebral development. Strolling down the bank on a fine summer's clay, rod in hand, looking out for a favorablo spot in which to try a cast, ho stopped at a placo which appeared inviting. Tho Usk abounds in rocky islets. Opposite him, and near the centre of the stream, was ono of these, rather elevated. On the other sido, be? tween tho rock and the mainland, tho cur? rent ran with much rapidity, and somewhat tnrbidly, BS if disturbed and intercepted by obstacles below the surface. The depth of the water was much greater than that on the side our fisherman had selected. Thia he knew from former visits and observa? tions. Suddenly he looked np, and saw a little girl, of six or seven years old, in a bonnet and cloak, with a basket on her arm, standing quite alone, on the summit of the island. She romained for some time, and be continned to look steadily on tho unex? pected object, wondering bow she got there, ns, without a boat, access to tho place where she stood was utterly impossi? ble. Ho had his fishing-boots on, and tried to wado across lo her, but the river was too deep. Determined to satisfy himself, ho moved further down until he reached a fordable point, and crossed over to tho other side. There, to bia increased sur? prise, be saw tho child .standing, having loft tho island. No vestage of a boat, or raft, or any cou tri vaneo by which her passage could have been effected, presented itself. This, of course, added to his astonishment, and bo walked towards her. When within a short distance, sho moved across a field or two, in the direction of a cottage on an eminence, backed by a wood' ascended soma steps on the side of tho bill, oponed the door and disappeared withiu. There could bo no mistake. He was certain of tho fact and identity of the person, for he noted her dress and appearance with minute attention. Ho followed quickly, reached the cottage, kuocked at the door and was told to come iu. He did so, and saw a man and woman, apparently bis wife, sitting by tho kitchen fire. Tho attitudo of the man was desponding; bis bead on his band, while bis elbow rested ou his knee. Tho visitor asked whore the little girl was who had just preceded him into tho cottage. The reply from the man was: "No little girl has entered here; wo had but ono, and I wo lost her some months ago-she is dead." He then pointed to a cloak, bonnet and basket on tho wall, and said: "Thoso were hers, and there sho always left them." The stranger instantly recognized them as those bo bad seen. "Then," replied the man, solemnly, "you have seen ber fatcb! She was our only child, most dear to us, and allowed by all to be the best girl in the school she attended." After a littlo more conversation, bc pressed a gratuity on them, which thej were unwilling to take, and not liking bis own reflections, left tho cottage. Ho then went to the school in the immediatb neigh borbood, to obtain further particulars. Everything ho bad been told was corrobo rated by the school-mistress, who nlso tool him to the child's grave in the villagf church-yard. Hore the incident ended, Nothing moro ensued, nor bad the per?oi to whom the vision appeared the slightest connection with or interest in the partie! concerned. Ho cannot persuade bimsel that it was a bona fide ghost, and to tbii hour remains undecided as to what it reallj was. Of this ho is certaiu, that be was nol asleep, and that what be saw and did wen not tho vapors of a dream. Sleep overpowers people in strange posi tious, and it is quite possible to bo so over taken when iishiug on tho banks of a river but to retain a salmon rod in band, and no drop or lose it, under such conditions, ex ceeds the category of possibilities. Be sides, where was tho money that bad beei given on this particular occasion, aud cer? tainly no longer in tho bestower's pocket We ourselves have a distinct recoiled iou o walking a considerable distance, during ; night march, in a state of perfect somuo lency from fatiguo; but tho hands wor empty, and uothing dropped or lost. Ol another occasion, going up Mount Etna lr uigbt, so as to reach the summit for sun-rise one of tho party dropped from bis mul asleep; whereupon tho dumb quadrupel halted till be should get up again. Bein; missed, two of bis companions, with th guido, came back to look for the absentee and fouud him locked in deep reposo o tho pathway, and the mule standing by bina in the same state of happy obliviousness. A strange incident, which bas beeu i print beforo, occurred in tho life of Gei; Sir John Sherbrooke, who died in the yen 1830. Ho was another mau with as littl romance in bis composition as could poss bly bo imagined. A good executive oflicei but hot aud peppery as cayenne popper; bi temper not beiDg improved by a derange liver, tho result of long service under th scorching sun of ludia. lb tho year 1785, bo and Gen. Wy ny art then very young men, wero officers in th same regiment, stationed in Cauada. O tho 15th of October, in that year, about o'clock P. M., beforo dusk came ou, thc were seated in Wynyard's quarters, engage in study. It was a room iu a block-hous< with two doors, tho ono opening on a outer passage, tho other into tho latt< officer's bed-room, from which there was n exit except by returning through the parlo Sherbrooke, happening to look up froi bis book, saw beside tho door which opene on the passage, tho figuro of a tall ?tout] apparently about twenty years of age, bi palo aud much emaciated. Astonished i the presence of a stranger, Sherbrool called the attention of his brother office sitting near him, to the visitor. "I hai heard," he said, in afterwards relating tl incident, "of a man's being as palo as deatl but I never saw a living face assume tl appearance of a corpse except Wynyard' at that moment." Both remained silent! gazing on tho figure as it moved slow through tho room, and entered the bei chamber, casting on young Wynyard, as passed, a look, JUS bis friend thought, melancholy affection. The oppression' its presence was no sooner removed tin Wynyard, grasping Sherbrooke's arm. ? claimed, in scarcely maculate tonos: "Got God! my brother!" Both anxiously waited tho arrival of tl mail from England. Some of tho offieei meanwhile, induced Wynyard to conies with much reluctance, what ho bad Bee Great excitement was produced tbrougbo ! the regiment in consequence. When the j expected vessel arrived, there were no let? ters for Wynyard, bot one for Sherbrooke. ? As soon as he had opened and read it, he beckoned Wynyard from tho room. They remained closeted for an hour. On Sher I brooke's return, tho mystery was solved. It was a letter from another officer, begging Sherbrooke to break to Wynyard tho news of the death of his favorite brother, who had expired on the 15th of Ootober, and at tho same hour at which tho friends saw the apparition in the block-honso. Some years afterwards, Sherbrooke, then in England, was walking in Piccadilly, London, when on the opposite sido of tho street, ho saw a geutleinuu whom he instantly recognized as tho counterpart of tho mystorions visitor. Crossing over, ho apologised for his intru? sion, und learned that he also wa? a brother I -not a twin, as some accounts havo it-of Wynyard. Moro than once, and long after, when some allusion to tho incident was ! mado in Gen. Sherbrooke's presence, ho interposed, with strong emotion, saying: "I beg that the subject may not again bo men? tioned." The impression on the minds of those who heard him was, that he consider? ed the matter too serious to bc talked of. Gen. Paul Anderson, a distinguished Pe? ninsular officer, who, when a major on Sir John Moore's staff, assisted at the burial of that gallant soldier on tho ramparts of Co? runna, coroborated tho facts hero repeated, as having hesrd them direct from Sir John Sherbrooke's i?Wfl Hps, a short time before his death; adding, that Sir John assured him also, in the most- Bolemn manner, that he believed the appearance to have been a ghost or a disombodied spirit, and that this belief was shared by his friend Wynyard. Strong evidence, more than forty years sub? sequent to the ovent. We find it stated in Moore's life of Byron, that tho noblo bard sometimes used to men? tion a strange story, which the commander of the packet, Captain Kidd, related to him when on his passago to Lisbon, in 1809. Being nslecp ono night in his berth-Cap? tain Kidd, loquitur-ho was awakened by tho pressure of something heavy on his limbs, and there being a faint light iu tho room, could see, as ho thought, distinctly, tho figuro of his brother, who was at that timo in tho naval service in the East Indies, dressed in his uniform, aud stretched across tho bcd. Concluding it to bo an illusion of the souses, ho shut his eyes aud mado an ' effort to sleep; but still the same pressure continued, and still, as often as he ventured to take another look, ho saw and felt tho figure lying across him in tho same position. To add to tho wouder, ou putting his hand forth to touch this form, he found the uni? form iu which it appeared to bo dressed, dripping wet. On tho entrance of one ol his brother officers, to whom ho called out in alarm, the apparition vanished; butin fl few months after, he received the startling intelligence that on that identical night his brother had fallen overboard and beer J drowned in tho Indian seas. Of the super j natural character of this appearance, Cap j taiu Kidd himself did not appear to have j tho slightest doubt. "Oh!" exclaims thc j incredulous reader, "this was a d?cid?e dream!" Granting the probability of snot a solution, it was nevertheless an intima lion, out of the natural course, of an eveni which had actually occurred al an euormoui I distance, and touching most closely th? party to whom it was conveyed. The following recital carno to me from i near relative. Ho received it in mauuscrip from the writer, who vouches for its authon ticity, and declares that he repeats, withou exaggeration, the facts therein detailed: ALTA VISTA, January 8, 1848. Tho events I am about to relate, occurrei at a distance of about 800 miles apart. Ou at Alta Vista, the residence of Major Rich ard Pollard, in tho Green Mountains of Al bemarle County, Virginia; the other at ; frontier post on tho Western boundary o Texas-not, as now, incorporated in th Union. A detachment of about 200 mon of tho Ninth Regiment of Infantry, and few dragoons, wero thero in garrison, witl tho usual complement of officers. Amongs tho latter, was Lieutenant Henry Pollard a remarkably fine and intelligent youn man, of about twenty-five years of agc Towards tho close of tho day of tho 11th c May, 1834, tho clear, ringing notes of buglo announced tho hour of dinner, an immediately after, tho officers weregathere round tho mess-tuble, buoyant with healtb and in their accustomed harmony and goo fellowship-conditions under which the thero met for the last time. Alta Vista occupies tho summit of a elevation which commands a charmin view across tho Green Mountains; Wes wardly to the Blue Ridge; and to th Southward and Eastward on a clear daj can bo seen Mount Laurel, within tho boi dors of tho contiguous Stato of Kentucky Ao?t half a mile from tho house, on th North side, runs too public read, while si;; rounding it is an extensive park, scattere over with a profusion of spruce and Ioctl! trees. Arbors composed of cane, spring u here and there, and as they are the resort < members of tho family for reading, stmlj ing or playing, tho honso servants ha? taken them under their especial charg< They devoto to them unremitting caro an attention; thoy havo trained over and aboi thom flower-bearing vines and oreeper which diffuse an agreeable fragrance, rei dering them at tho same time impervious f ruin, and to tho sun's rays. At tho Sout side, beyond the lawn, is the garden, n ways noatly kept; and well filled with tli choicest shrubs and flowers, amongst whic shines conspicuously tho yellow rose. A tho immediate grounds about tho honso ai enclosed with nil ornamental paling < wood; gravel walks giving access to gates i various points; and un ample piazza runs tl length of tho main building, which lu wings at either extremity. From tho porch in the centre of th piazza, a broad gravel walk leads struigl throngh the lawn to the principal gates < I entronco to the park. It is bounded, as all the others are, by a low hedge of aromatic ! shrubs and flowers. About half a mile off, in a southernly direction, are rows of negro ' cabins, and within a convenient distance of them stands a two-story brick bouse, occu? pied by tho overseer of the plantation and bis family. At the time now referred to, Major Pol? lard was absent at Santiago in Chili, where bo bad boon sent by tho United States Go? vernment, on a special mission, which in? volved reparation for the capture of the frigate Essex, Commodore Porter, within the harbor of Valparaiso, in the war of 1811-14, by two English vessels, tho Phoebe und Cherub. During the absonco of ber husband, Mrs. Pollard, leaving tho entire management of tho plantation to the overseers, occupied herself with the education of her children, who wero under the tuition of the Kev. Mr. Brown, a gentleman from Massachusetts. He was a profound scholar, aud being with? out a church, had accepted tho office of tutor in tho family, remaining in it, includ? ing a residence at Oak Ridge, between eight and nine years. As now, Mrs. Pollard bad a great fondness for flowers, and passed much of her time amongst them. A lady of wonderfully pleasing and graceful man? ners, of a highly cultivated mind, and par? ticularly free from anything of a superstitious nature. I mention tbis for evident reasons, which will appear in connection with this story. Sho was in the habit of rising early, and attended by some of the female ser? vants of the bouse, would frequently pass an hour or more, before breakfast, in the garden and the grounds adjacent. At this time she was in tho prime of life, and re? tained much of that personal beauty for which in her j)rcmiere jeunesse she had been remarkable. The early morning of tho 13th of May, 1834, was ono of those for which the spring season, in that p?rt of Virginia, is perhaps nowhere excelled. Notii?C? eau Burpass the delicious softness of a May day-break in the Green Mountains. Yon ROO an almost cloud* < . loss sky, and aro conscious of a temperature j voluptuously soft and tranquilizing. Tho fragrance of a thousand flowers fills tho air. At intervals, you may bear, as if to present a more striking interest, tho notes of a "songster of tho grove;" or the fanning of a gentle breeze may stir the leaves and branches of encircling wood. I prefer to give, as received from Mrs. Pollard's own lips, and as nearly as possible in her own ! words, what now follows, delivered with on uncontrollable emotion which frequently interrupted tho thread of tho narration. "I left the house," she said, "on the morning above indicated, quite early, bo fore G, U6 I noticed by tho clock when passing through the ball. I crossed the lawn to the garden, and not seeing Uncle Ben, (ono of the negro grudeuers,) I ex? pressed surprise, as ho wus usually very regular at bis work; and my astonishment was not lessened at bearing Martha ex? claim, "Missis, there's Uncle Ben over yon? der in the grave-yard." (The family ceme? tery lay immediately beyond tho garden.) I directed my stops towards it, to seo what bo was doing, ns it seemed strange be should bo there instead of in the garden. I said, "Unelo l?en, what brings you here this morning?" He reminded me that a few weeks before I bad told him to pluck away somo weeds which wer? growing up about the tomb of my dear littlo Lucy. I noticed, too, tbat ho had swept and smoothed tho surrounding grounds. The morning was so delightful, the air so sereno, that I felt tempted to pass ont through the cemetery to thc fields, intending to return by tho sume way, and I told Uncle Ben not to lock the gate, ns I should do so. "I was led to continue my walk beyond what was my usual custom, but presently a peculiar sensation, as if impelled by some undefined influence, came upon me, and I began to feel very nervous. I hastened to tho path leading to the largo gate, through which I uow decided to return to tho bouse -tho shortest way, in fact. An overpower? ing sonso of sadness oppressed me, and onco or twice I was compelled to stop. At length I approached tho aspen tree which stands by the side of the private road, just without tho gate, when, judge of my hor? ror at seeing, lying beuentb it, my poor boy Henry. At bis side wero a cloak, a cap and a sash. I saw blood oozing from his neck. His features boro an expression indicative of intense pain, though calm and tranquil. I instinctively moved towards him, whon ho waved bis band, as if to say, adieu 1 A faint smile scorned to struggle through the agony under which bo was laboring. CONCLUDED IN OUB NEXT.
