The DRuNKARD's FArE.-There is legend or
tradition of Holly Shelter bay, says the Wilmington
IN. CO. Chronicle, which | have often listened to
with intense interest in the days of my boyhood. II
is said to be inhabited by kind Of spirit or hob
goblin, dwelling far in the interior, and used to be
firmly believed in by people living on the borders
and which they called "The Old Man of the Bay"
They tell Of two farmers living in the upper part
of the State who had been TO Wilmington to sell
their produce, returning home, as the custom OF
the times, rather elevated with liquor; when they
had entered into sandy, desolate part of the
try, about twelve miles from town, just beyond the
big bridge they met old man with long grey
beard, black gown strapped around him with u
leathern girdle and long staff in his hand. 1t was
a bitter cold moonlight night with deep snow upon
the ground. One Of the farmers bent upon little
sport, accosted the old man rather abruptly
"wel old daddy, how dye dot Come you must
dance for u.s."
But the snow is deep would you have poor
old man dance in the snow7"
"Come no excuse" rejoined the other with On
oath; "dance you must, and dance you shall"
"But my limbs arc old" said he Of the staff and
gown, "and cannot dance; but ye are young and
lusty, dance thou.
He extended his arm and touched each with his
staff when they commenced an involuntary dance
they danced until their feet were worn to the ankles
they danced I'LL their feet We're worn TO the knees
they danced till their thighs were worn to the sock
cts; they danced till their bodies were consumed to
their necks; when their heads went skipping and
dancing away-nnd like the man knocked into
grease spot-entircly disappeared

His name was Danphule-we used

of the ladies, although when in their
presence he never opened his mouth
if he could help it, and when he did
speak he used both hands to help
him TO talk F; in fact, he was young

warm day, fell in love; he had just
graduated at college, and began TO
think he must seek the ladies' socie-

it looked manly to have open

He had heard good deal Of the

and bore the withered whIte-oak leaves
down from the parent stem, where all

cy down powcrless at her side and never
grew. This ever claimed his warmest
kiss and pointing all her lessons out, he
ever held the powcrless fingers of tho lit
