Agentleraan travelling some years since in the upper part of this State, called at a tavern, and requested entertainment for the night. The landlord informed him. that it was out of his poWer to accommo-; date him, as his house was already foil.? He persisted in staying, as he, as Well as his horse, were almost exhausted with tra- i veiling.- After much solicitation, the landlord consen'ed to his stopping, provided he would sleep in a certain room that had remained unoccupied for a long time, in consequence1 of a belief that it was haunted by the ghost of a barber, Who was reported to have been murdered in that room some years before. "Verr well," said the man, *l*m not afraid of ghosts; take care of my horse and* get me some supper.'* After having refreshed himself, be enquired uf the landlord how, and hi What manner the room, in which he was to lodge, was haunted. The landlord replied that those who had lodged ifr the room, stated that shortly after they had retired to rest, an unknown voice was heard,Un a? trembling and protracted accent, saying, a Doyoui wa-a-nr to be sha-a-ved?" " WeH " re-1 plied the man, "if he comes, he may shave me." He-then requested to be vshown to the apartment, in going to which, he was conducted through'a Targe room, where were seated a great number of persons at a gambling table. Feeling a cariosity, which almost every one possesses,' after having heard ghost stories; he eajefally searched every cdraer' of his room, but ij j: ii.:1?. i?a .ti ?u A-it cuuiu uejcLrver mnHiiig out ine usual lur? niture of the apartment. - He-then laid do\vn,: btrf did toot close; his'e^es to sleep immediately,- and in a few minutes, he imagined he heard a voice saying, "Do you wa-a-nt to be *ha~a-vedF?He arose from his hed, and searched every part of the room, but could discover nothing. He again went to bed, bat no sooner-pad he began to compose himSelf to sleep, than the question was again repeated. He agaih arose and went to the window, the sound appearing to proceed; from that quarter, and stood for a while, silent?after a few moments' of anxious suspense, he again heard the-sound distinctly, and convinced that it was from without, he" opened the window, when the question was repeated lull to his ear, yhiph startled him not a little: Upon a minute examination, however, he /vWnAMtA#] iAU li*v\l% /s f n 1 r% m/v rt /tttino uuoctvcu ujcli inc iniiu ui a iaig^ uiuia tree which stood under his window, projected so near the hoqse, as, oh every breath of wind, to grate against the shinies, creating a sound to a lively imagination, resembling the interrogation,'uDo you ica-a-nt to be sha-a-ved?" ; Having satisfied himself that this ghost was nothing there or less than the limbof a tree coming itr contact with the house,- he again went to bed, and attempted to get asleep; but was now interrupted by peails of, daughter,- and an occasional- volley of oaths and curses, irorn me room wnere ine gambler* were assembled. - J- Thinking that Eo could turn the late diseqVery trr-his own I- V , ?> t4iG ,i - a # rrr^nrrr^v?* advantage, he took a sheet from the bed, and Wrapped if -round him, and taking thS Wash-basiif in his'hind, arid throwing & towel over hisanq. proceeded to the roohi of the gamblers,-and suddenly throwing the doot openf stalked, in^exclaiuiibg in a tremulous voice,'"Do you ica-a-nt to be shaaLtedr~Terrified at this sudden appearance of the ghost, the gamblers were thrown into the greatest confusion in attempting to escape from the room, some jumping through the wihdow8,*knd others tumbling head and heels ojyer others down t^ie stgirs:' Our ghost taking advantage of a clear room, deliberately swept a large amount of money,from the table into ms basin, and retired unseen to his room. .. The next morning hc found the house in the utmostponfiisian. He was immediately asked if he rested well He replied in the affirmative. "Well, no wonder," said the landlord, "for the ghost, instead of go- t * ing to his own' room, made a mistake and came to ours, frightened us all out of the room, and took away every dollar of our money. The guest,' without being in the least suspected, quietly ave his breakfast and departed, many hundreds of dollars richer, for .this adventure.

After taking the dose, he buttoned up his coat, shrugged up his shoulders, and exclaimed, "foelieve I shall leave this particular section.
