For many years on Cape Nolr, the western point of Maria, a strange light was seen, dancing and moving about in the most unaccountable man ner. At one moment It would rise like a column of fire into the air, and at an other time it would fail like a meteor. Then it would seem to leap over tbs point and drop into the sea, afterward appearing again in the same spot on the hillside. The habitants tell this story about It: In the time of the war for the pos session of Canada a French vessel, pursued by an English warship, steered Its course into the bay at this point for refuge. A boat was lowered from the side of the richly laden mer chantman, and in this thirteen men swiftly rowed to the shore. Their ob ject was to secrete a chest of gold which they had brought with them. On reaching the point they drew lots to see which of the men should remain to guard the treasure. The one to whom the lot fell was forced to swear a solemn oath, bj land and sea, by night and day, by the ruler of the nether world, that he would be faithful to the trust through life, unless re lieved by his returning comrades, and even after death would haunt the spot should no one come to take bis place, says a writer in the Era. --v* • To secure the fulfillment of this vow his wicked associates then and there put him to death and buried him with the treasure. The ghostly light was supposed to be the spirit of the mur dered man, and many persons who, tempted by the hope of recovering the treasure, ventured into the haunted spot fled in terror and told blood curdling stories of the horrible phan toms and frightful sights which they had witnessed. The light is seen no longer. Perhaps some adventurer bolder than the rest succeeded in dis covering the gold, carried it off and thus gave rest to the unquiet spirit The German Wife’s Vacation. It is a common practice in Berlin for the wife to stay at home when the hus band and family go to the seaside. In this way the wife enjoys her own holi day, for there is no housekeeping to be done. She foregathers with friends— “grass widows,” like herself—and they take their meals at restaurants, spend their afternoons and evenings at popu lar places of entertainment and thor oughly enjoy themselves.—London Ex press. Yes, Indeed! When a man gets tired out and ill, he goes fishing, returning shortly with three wall eyed pike, restored health and a blister on bis nose.
