GiiosTs.-Define a vulgar ghost with
reference TO all that is called ghost like.
II Is visibility without tangIblllty j; which
IS also the definition ofa shadow. There
fore a Vulgar ghost and Il shadow would
be the same because two different things
cannot properly have the same definition.
A pist6ie substance without susceptibility
OF impact, | maintain 10 be an absurliiy.
Unless thore be an external substance,
the bodily eye cannot see il therefore,
IN all such cases, that Which IS supposed
to be seen is, in fact, NOT seen, but is an
image of the brain. External objects
naturally produce sensation but here,
in truth, sensation produces, as it were,
the external object.
OF course. il the vulgar ghost DO real.
ly u shadow, there must be some SUBJ
stance OF which il is the shadow. These
visible and intangible shadows, without
substances TO cause them, are absurd.
When a real ghost appears-by which
! mean. soma man or woman dressed up
TO frighten another if the supernatural
character Of the npparition he's been for
u moment believed, the effects on the
spectator have always been most terrible
--conyulsIun, Idiocy, madness, or even
death on the spot. Consider tho awful
descriptions IN the Old Testament Of The
effects Of q spiritual presence on tho pro-
pbels and seers OF the Hebrews The ter
ror, the exceeding great dread, the utter
loss oil all animal power. But in our com
mon ghost stories, you always find that
the seer, after q most appalling appari.

head ache, but tina is the outside Of the
effect produced.
Allston, a man Of genius, and the best
painter yet produced by America, whru
he was in England, told me nm nnecdole
which confirms what | have been saying.
II was ! think, in the University of Cam.
bridge, near Boston, that "A certain youth
took il into his wise head TO convert q
Tom Painish companion Of his, by APP
pearing as a ghost before him. He ac-
cordIngly dressed himself up ia the usual
way, having previously extracted the ball
from the pistol which always lay near
the head ofhis friends bed. Upon first
awaking, and seeing the apparition, the
youth who was to be- frightened, A., very
cody looked his companion, the ghost,
in the face, and said, 81 know you
This is a good joke (; but you see ] am
not frightened. Now, you may vanish p
The ghost stood still. Come" said A.,
" that is enough. shall get angry
Away!' Still the ghost moved not
" by --," calculated A., "if you do
not, in three minutes, q away, rll shoot
YOU" He waited the time, deliberately
levelled the pistol, fired, and with a
scream at the immobllity Of the figure,
became convulsed, and aiierward died.
The very instant he believed it 10 be a
ghost, his human nature fell before it,

THE NIGHT ERRhND OF A kHlGHT.sRRANT

The night was dark and keen the air.
As forth from home | sped.
To seek my Kate, tn angelic fair,
Whom soon | hoped TO wed.
A glimpse of moonlight did disclose
My love, well wrapped about;
:" hops your dnxioas mother knoms."
Says she, dear John, yon'rs ost ~"
Beneath a spreading tree, we drew
(The question did evade.
For should ! tell the truth, | knew
Shed chide me-gentle maid)
To walk, pressed her, but "Ah! no."
Said she, with archfui pout,
81 can't. for mother dos'nt knos,
Indeed, that 1 am oat."
In converse sweet, the time flew on,
We needed not its flight;
And while we talked. we might have gone
Ten miles, I'm sure we might.
We kiss'd-" now John" said she, "do ro.'
/ saw she had a doubt y
"Im sure your mother dos'nt kaop,
My love, that you are oat."
I left-and in the road to get,
Icrossed her garden neat.
When 10! a trap, which had been set
For thieves, caught both my feet!
How to escape, | did not know,
Alas! | dared no. shout,
For Kltty's mother didn't knop,
You see, that she Nas out.
A storm came on, the thunder roll'd,
All night there was bound,
A huge bull dog, who fercsly CROWD,
To watch me, stalked around,
Next morn, a servant let me go,
Who whispered (stupid lout)
"Young man, your mother didn't know,
Last night, that you were out"
Straight home, with rail. way speed I ran,
Nor paused cen once to breathe:
And now I'm safe, | think | can
To others counsel give
by me take warning every beau,
And do not rove without
Your sure your anxious mothers know,
Young blades, thai you are out"

COLDS Eclipse Cooking Stove
TEREE SIZES.

HSF4E attention of the community is conti
 nunllv called to this, and that, and the other Cooling StOve; each claimed to be the very best, and entitled to homage almost as great as was paid to "molten images" when It was proclaimed "These be thy gods, Q ls- rael." The subscriber woFships no such "work of the craftsmen" nor does he desire that even his own 1" latest improvement" should be regarded beyond its well attested merit.
 The "EcLIPsE COOKING STovE"-which has been in very extensive use for the last two years, received it's name at first from the pe- culiar construction of its front part directly over the fire, and which is made to adapt it. self to kitchen utensils of any size; but a dis corning public have since decided it's claim to the title for other reasons too obvious to mention. Do other stoves speedily warm a room? so does this. Do they bake well. boil well, roast well! so does this. Are they hand some? so is this. Can their inventors refer to gentlemen who will recommend their stoves? We might refer to gentlemen, aye, and to LADIES too, so numerous and so highly respectable. that we must decline doing It, from motives of delicacy, as it would bc invi- dious to attempt selection. Ask any one of the "better half of cfeation' among the hum dreds who have made trial of the "Eclipse, '' and you will be assured that it does indeed eclipse every thing ever designed for cooking, baking, broiling, roasting, washing. The wo- man who sets about her Mondays work, on Monday morning, bright & early, (and what notable housewife does not ? may in a mo- ment's time calculate an eclipse. and bring it on, by means of which-let every husb0''d and eDery housekeep;ng bachelor take notice a 'wash- ing day. is turned from day of dump and sorrow, into day of cheerfulness and plea sure.
