QCERIES FOR THE GIRL I LOVE.
Tell no. tell nie. ch•noing molder,

Are the charms with which you're laden
Really yours? Oh, tell me true!

Male, doer, of your own brown hair?
I. that boffin', si toil mignonne,
Very painful, now, to wear?
Would that skin, of pearly whitens:e.,
Lease white marks upon my mat?
And that waist, of fairy slightnem.
Dues it lacing tight denote?
Is that curl, no amply Sowing,
Hair pinned on, dear, by your maid?
For these limas pink and glowing.
Is some Madame Rachel paid?
Would your eyebrow• lack their lustre
Were they pencilled net by art?
Woold your "room," deer, yam muster
When you Arst from slumber start ?
Is your Kit 017fd fILI, so charming,
Naught but padding, idler all?
If my queries aren't Warming,
Answer them ere nest I call ! —Judy.

A GHOST STORY.— In "Recollections of Gibson, the
Vnglish sculptor," in the Cornhill Magazine, there is
given Gtheon's favourite ghost-story. It happened in
his early days, when he was apprenticed to the
chimney-piece *lnver and inanufactmer :—" It was the
custom in this establishment for one of the young men
employed in the manufactory to sleep in the warehouse
every night. They took it by turns to do so, week by
week. The yard and ground.floor offices were
encumbered by pieces of marble and mamas of stoma,
chimney-pieces and other specimen, of work, and the
property RN too valuable to be left unguarded. The
person left in charge slept on the first floor. The
night WWI to oommenes 01boon's week of guard ; some
of his surgeon friends had asked him to deposit in the
warehouse a coffin which bad been ex burned
for the purposes of dissection. It was • good
place of concealment. The superstitions horror of the
practice of dissection was at its fever height at that
moment. The name of resurrectionist was equivalent
to that of murderer. It was a service of peril to obtain
a body for anatomical purposes. The transfer of the
body or eolith, when disinterred, from the grave to the
surgeon's operating-room was always attended with
risk, and was generally performed with the greatest
stoney and by the most indirect road. This coffin
was to be placed in concealment for the night in the
warehouse. and by sunset dawn it was to be taken to
the surgeon'., It 'had been brought in late at night,
and was stowed' away Sleol4 the marble and stone
fragments. Before Gibson went to bed he made his
round., armed as usual, and examined wall the yard
and ground-floor of the warehouse, and found all in
order. The blocks of marble and stone, the finished
and unfinished work, lay around him, heaped up in
apparent disorder, but arranged, nevertheless, in •
certain method evident to an aeoustemed observer.
Whs. to. twea.6 a. 1..1 Le was eno.• ”...1
and lay on his pillow looking through the window oppo-
site his bed at the bright fall moon filling his room
with clear white light. At last, the stillness and the
radiance became oppressive. His thoughts turned to
the corpse in the warehouse below, as silent and as
sold as the inanimate stone around it. Was it in truth
so? What if it were less motionless than he sup-
posed it to be? What if the spirit which bad onee ani-
mated it should come to expostulate with the sacrile-
gious persons who had dirturbed It, and avenge itself
on the one left with it? His imagination, once roused
in this direction, played traitor, as it always does, and
added to his fears. He fancied he heard stealthy
'tope coming up the stain. Twice he thought he
heard the door of his room open. He sat up an bed
breathlessly awaiting the entrance of something or
som, one. He mistook the folds of the curtains for •
spectral creature in white floating towards him. He
was sensible enough to feel that he was the victim of
optical delusions, but his heart beat and his breath
came short, as if, beyond and beside that terror which
he arse conscious was self-created, some presence
intangible and invisible to his senses shared with him
the solitude of the place, pervading it from garret to
basement. While be thus remained almost paralysed
with fright, there suddenly mounded from below •
report like the rending open of a rock: at another
short lot, real was another, and again another. He
eonfeseed he was fairly overcome with fear. He drew
the bed-clothes over his bead, and was for • few
minutes insensible. When he was again conscious
the moon had set, it was quite dark, and tb• darkness
gradually renewed his sinking courage. He reasoned
himmlf into calmness, strucir • light, dressed himself,
and went downetairs. All was barred and shut as he
left it, but, on glancing tosrarda the coffin, he became
aware that it hail been pushed or had slipped from
iu plasm on a block of marble. It bad been put
down hastily and carelessly, and very little force was
needed to topple it over. In falling, an enormous masa
which was heaved in front of it, and bad been stand-
ing upright, had been pushed off its balance, and
had fallen first ox some pintos of stone, whets, unable
to hear its weight, had alipptd from under it, said
left it proatrate. These were the effects he beheld but
what was the cause? He explored in sad out. the
labyrinth of stone-heaps, his one eandle projecting
uncanny shadows as he moved about ; at lark be spied

ban.. ander ledge of it... '
