THE BARBER'S GHOST.?A FACT !
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

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

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. '* 1'

frequently take the Jgtwio their own hqpda

This reminds us of the case of a mean
scamp in Arkansas, who, for some con*
temptible deed, was sentenced by Chief
Justice Lynch, to receive "thirty nine,"
well laid on. After taking the dose, he
buttoned up his coat, shrugged up his shoulders,
and exclaimed, "foelieve I shall
leave this particular section. Things are
altogether too unsettled about here, and
too little respect paid to parsons, for .my
use.?-Picayune.
A little fallow, the idol of his mother
and plague of his father, went to the post
office and /enquired if there was a letter
tor his " Urqnpar -.
'"For whom?" inquired the post master.
"For dranpa," answered the little fellow*
"Well, what is your grandpapa's name?
"Why, dranmaraa calls him Josh"?
"Well, what doc s your gi andfather call

"He says, "Oh, thunder Bets, do keep
your claok still ior once."
The post master baffled by the urchin'*
simplicity, dismissed him with the request
that he should return home and .ask his
Dranmaina hep name. r ; .

giving an accquntof the sentence of death
passed upon a young man, says "he ap?

"I say, Pat, what are you writing-there ,

an' is'nt it to my poor old mother, who-in

There are those who are rich in poverty,
because they are content, and use .generously
what they have; there are others^
who, in the,midst of their riches are really
poor, from their insatiable covetousnesn
or shameful prolusion.
Another Yankee Invention.?-A Boston
paper states that a Yankee has invented an
' eight day clock, which runs sixteen days
without winding or stopping; and what
makes k still more valuable?the time;
piece gives two quarts of milk a day!?
There would be no such thing as calculating
its value, if k was able to churn its
own butter, and would stop ticking during
family prayer.?lb.
