Two GsiOsts TO one Hamlet.

Strange things occasionally occur in the
africa life. Some few years ago at benefit
given to Fire Company. in Philadelphia, a
new asP'rant for hstironic honors appeared on
the boards of the Walnut street Theatre. The
play was Hamlet" just before the curtain
rose''he gentleman engaged to play the Ghost
struck for wages and the Manager was forced
to supply his place as he best could
In due time. the play went on, and the
'Ghost IN blue armor appeared, saying in the
usual lugubrious tone:
Hamlet, 1 am thy Fathers Ghost"
When, even as the Prince of Denmark was
contemplating the image Of his fathers ghost,
voice was heard from another wing:
Don't you believe him. Hamlet; am your
fathers ghost-this fellow underbid me"
And with the word another Ghost" in blue
armor, of course, stepped upon the stage
The embarrassment of Hamlet was extrame,
1iro ghosts of one father, both dressed in blue
armor, speaking at once, and each claiming to
be the Ghost Simon Pure, as thus:
Cham ct l am thy fathers ghost" began
Mol.
"No, Hamlet, I'm your fathers ghost" cried
No2
Doomed for certain time to walk the earth. ;
continued n. |.
NO, Hamlet said Ghost No 2 insinuating-
ly-'1t's me, that's doomed to wa the earth
not him. You see he pays for five dollars a
week, aud l would not do it under six I'm
your fathers ghost, Hamlet"
At this juncture. while Hamlet stood looking
from one to the other, in most unprincely confu
sion No again rallied:
Il could a ia e unfold" he said
"All fudge Hamlet; it's me that could the
tale unfold" cried Ghost No 2 This fellow
amt got any tale to unfold. I'm your fathers
ghost, my boy"
At this crisis the curtain fell leaving Hamlet
to settle the matter with the two Ghosts behind
the scene, while the audience were shedding
tears, but not of rrow--Cleyeland Plain

FRUIT TREES by THE RoApspE-The practice
OF setting out fruit trees by the roadside can
not be too highly recommended In many
parts of Europe this practice is general and
the fatigued traveller acknowledges the we'll
timed hospitality thus afforded him. The ex.
cuse is often made that the fruit will be stolen:
but IT The practice were general. the amount of
fruit taken by wayfarers, would only be what
common hospitality would freely grant; and in
Germany every third tree, by custom may be
fa6'oed, the owner Of the adjoining farm ties
piece Of rag to one of the lower limbs of the
tree, and no traveller will touch it, Travellers
INFORM us that no reward will tempt German
stage driver to regale his passengers with fruit
from marked trce-two out of three being left
to his use if desired, renders the selected tree
free from the chance of being used. The amount
OF fertllizng material continually wasted upon.
roads would be arailing by such apractice, and
nothing but extreme selfshness will prevent
the use Of these material for public benefit
Many Of the largest sort of fruit trees are high
~ ornamental and afford fine shade, while of
fruit trees alone for shade, like the display of
costly mansions, only excite the poor to envy,
without adding materially to their comfort

OF our motion and sound,
The Utmost dwelling of Beauty is found,
And with voice of strange
And solemn change,
The elements speak in our world wide range
Harping the terror. the might the mirth,
Sorrows and hopes of Earth.
Sorrows and hopes Of Earth!
