a True story.

A writer in the Boston Recorder, as an
illustration of Proyidential care, relates
the following marvellous incident, and
vouches for il as authenticity
Elias Boudinot. founder Of the Amerl-
can Bible Society, was returning in his
chaise TO his home late in dark night,
from a court he had been attending many
days. He did not know that recent
freShet had carried away all the pIanks
from the long bridge that lay in his accus-
toned path. Therefore he drove right
on, as though there was bridge there and
reached home safely. HIS friends lnquI-
red by what road lie came. "Ihe usual
road," he replied. "ImPossibIe,' said
they, "lhere are no planks on the bridge
He persisted, and they, trembling Tor his
veracily or his sanity, eagerly went with
him next morning early TO survey. When
arrived, they found the very tracks OF the
carriage at either end Of this bridge and
on the sIeepers. There was no more to
be said; sanity and veracIty were both
safe. Some power had presided over the
instinct Of that horse, had ordained the
correspondence of those wheels with the
sleepers over which they passed, and
kept the man in ignorance of his danger.
Was that power, fate, or chance

BILL WILSON AND THE GHOST
By MAJOR JONES, OF PINEvILLE.

'Bouttwo years ago, the people in Pine
vile was almost alarmed out of their SEN
ses by ghost what made lis appearance
every night in the grave yard. The mig
gers seed it fust, and they told such ter
rible tales about it that the wimmn and
children was afraid to 90 to bed in the
dark for month, and you couldn't get a
niger to go out side of the door after
dark not for all Georgy. 1t made mon
sterous talk for more'n ten miles round
the settlement, and every body was
anxious to find out whose ghost ii was,
and what it wanted. Old Mr.. Walker
what had been cheated out of all his
property by the lawyers, hadn't been
dead a great while, and as he was a mon
sterous curious OLD chap any how, the
general opinion was that the old man had
come back for something.
Sammy Stonestreet seed it, and Bob
MOreland seed it, and old Miss Curloo
seed it, when she was comm to town to
see her darter Nancy, and they all gave
The same account the niggers did, but its
bein dressed in white and talkn to its self,
and cryin and walkn about among the
tomb stones. Bob MoreanG said he
heard it sneeze two or three times Jest as
natural as any human, and cry ever so

One DAY Bill Wilson cum to town, and

ley's store, when they got 10 banerin

'Ding'd if | don't see who it is, ses
Bill; Il amt afraid of no ghost that ever

With that some of 'em offered to bet
him five dollars that he dasent 90 inside
of The grave yard alone after dark.
Dun, ses Bill; plank up your money.
But I'm TO 90 Jest as I've mind to 2
Yes ses the boys.
And shoot the ghost, if see it Z ses
he.

in Mr.. Harley's hands
The money was staked, and the bis
ness settled in no time.
Now ses Bill, give me pair of pis-
ioIs, and Jet me load 'em my self and I'll
show YOU whether I'm afraid oi ghosts.
Capt. SINNERS big horse pistol was
sent for, and Bill loaded one OF 'em up 10
