The village of Goalsnaughton, in the neighbourhood of Allot', has been kept in great alarm for porn', diwe past, by the appearance cf a ghost. The spirit first too defended to reveal itself to a collier, retuning from a new year's party, accompanied by his «He. 'rhe has band, who bad probably been indulging too freely in his favourite beverage, mountain dew, was trudging considerably before his better half, when he was sad daily accosted by a dark grim female figure, which, in a sepulchral tone, said, " Will ye go wi' me to Oart morn,") a piece of water of considerable extent in the neighboarbood.) The collier, in the unthinking jollity of his heart, consented ; bat as his mysterious oompa- Mon glided along with bias, for it could hardly be said to walk, he was led to suspect " that a' was'ne just as it should be ;" and accordingly began to throw out hints "that it was a keg gate to Oartmorn"—" that there was 'teething to be seen there but cauld water ;" and, finally, declined to proceed farther. The spirit, then, in the same hollow voice, demanded "if he would come to a neighbouring wood, to a particular tree, at level,* o'clock at night, that day week ;" and the poor collier, glad to be let off on any terms, consented, when the form instantly vanished. Astonished at this sadden disappearance. he waited till his wife, wbo was only a few yards behiod, came up, Whiff she askede in as eve deafly alarmed tone," what that; was he had been speak and *limit had gane to?" This only increased ' the poor man's alarm. and. the unhappy husband and ' the Wife hastened (trembling) borne es fast as possible. This, however, was not the end of their perplexities— the premise that the man had given to meet the unknown -at the plantation weighed heavy on his heart, and he ''passed a week in great misery. The appointed eight, however, at last arrived, and convinced that if he broke his word be would he carried off bodily to bell, be de termined to byde tryste. On this eventful night, ac cordingly, he sallied forth, accompanied by some of his friends ; bat as the story, with many exaggerations, had been freely circulated, the whole village was on the alert,' and many parties followed at a respectful distance. The hour of twelve was past, and no spirit had appear. ed ; when, as one of the party happened to leap over a hedge, a tall figure, in white, suddenly started up. The person who had crossed the hedge screamed and fell down with terror ; the spirit stood over him in a me. natio; attitude. inspired with desperate courage, the man sprung on his feet. the spirit fled, and was pursued. and at last, with a tremendous 'blow, laid prostrate on the ground. The mystery was now unravelled, and the ghost turned out to be a young lad from a neighbour. ing village, who had been amusing himself, daring the daft days, with frightening the lieges. His manner of Vanishing was very ingenious : he carried with him• a white sheet, his other dress was of a dark colour ; and when he wished to disappear, he suddenly drew the sheet round him and squatted. and as the ground was covered with snow, he became immediately impercep tible. The only melancholy cart of the story is, that the wife of the poor man, who bad made the assignation with the ghost, happening to be " as women wish tole r -- w• 1.11141, sawed Byegeld, in Cleetertt'Aste, hi width paseiog lilfeegls Tinley-stmt. he was pirked op be daughter of a Peer *part of the market is situate, Ii ill *, p l it t li ti Wok brb good lady wile quits politely touted bite to *ear. • baffle of ho se. sailed the , Jelly.
