able wind from the North Vest
Sunday morning was clear and beau
tiful, the sun threw his golden tints
upon mountains of glistening ice, and
virgin snow; these, blended with the
rich and variegated foliage of autumn
presented picture of unsurpassed
and indescribable beauty. AS the
autumnal flowers wither, fade and
pass away, SO must wes Nav we,
Qike tie mountains when our change
comes, be covered with the white
robes of innocence, and be kissed
away from time to eternity, by the
eternal and refreshing smiles of a
merciful Redeemer.-4sheUWe NC

A doctor, on calling upon a gentle,
man who had been some time ailing,
put fee into The patients hand, and
took the medecine himself which he
had prepared for the sick man; he
was not made sensible ofhis error till
he found himself getting i'll, and the
patient getting better.
"The secrets of the cabinet are
sometimes lodged in the folds of a

The Town OF CRAwFoRD, Ala,
HAUNTED BY GHosTs.-Somc three
or four weeks ago, q wild and raging
storm passed over the little town Of
Crawford, Alabama, about 3 o'clock
at night. The wild win blew fearful
iy and the rain fell heavily, when sud-
denly horrible halloo rang in the
ears of the startled inhabitants, and
frightened them by its awful and un.,
earthly sonnd. 1t partly resenbled
the human voice, End it died away
like the wild means of a human be-
ing, In the last agonies ofhelplessness
and despair. Ii has been heard ev-
cry night since, and various attempts
have been made to trace its source,
but all as yet remains IN darkness and.
mystery. After hearing the halloo4
and its dying echoes in one place, it.
IS heard suddenly in second or two
from half mile TO mile distant
all attempts TO approach it are per-
fetly unavailing.
Many year ago a young man
named Grimes was hung in that
place for, murder, and that he used
TO threaten, while, in prison that his
ghost should revisit the earth to deal
out vengeance on his foes.-he was
hung amidst a severe storm, and this
unearthly scream being firsi heard
during severe storm, induces many
timid persons to believe that it is ac-
ttually the ghost of Grimes. The.
idea OF the noise being made by the.
owl or wolf or wild beast, is utterly
repudiated by all. Probably if thew
live long enough they will will fiji find out
some day or other what the mystery
IS. We are not hard either to be-
lleve or unravel these superstitions.
