BEAUTIFUL TREES FOR ORSAxESr-Of the
ornamental trees the most choice are thought to
De the silver leaf maple, oriental plain Eng
hsh and American elms, tulips, sycamore ma
pies, sugar naples, pin oaks, scarlet oak, burr
oak, catalpa, linden, deciduous cypress, liquid
ambar or sweet gum, laburnum, cucum-
Der magnolia, Kentucky coffee tree, &c. The
SILVER ieafed maple, in its foliage, somewhat
resembles the silver leaf poplar, and is by many
persons preferred to it. The American elm is
known by its gothic arch, and the English by
its dense foliage. The pin oak is very fine, on
account of its pyramidal form and glossy foil
age The linden-bass woods known for its
symmetry Of form, and the mountain ash for
its beautiful red berries. The deciduous cy-
press has soft feathery foliage Of a very de-
hghtfgI light green, very unique in its charac-
ter. The liquid amber has a star leaf, which
assumes beautiful red tint in autumn. The
laburnum Is noted for the abundant clusters
OF rich yellow flowers with which it is clothed
III June. The cucumber magnolia is a tall
growing tree, with large leaues and symmetri.
cal habit: The Kentucky coffee is handsome
tree, Its light foliage somewhat resembling the
locust.

The HAUNTED CHAMBER.-A room in the
principal inn of q country town had the repu-
tation of being haunted Nobody would sleep
in il, and it was therefore shut up; but it so
happened that at an election the inn was chock
full, and there was only the haunted room un-
occupied. A gentleman's gamekeeper came to
the inn, exceedingly fatigued by long journey,
and wanted a bed. He was informed that un
less he chose to occupy the haunted room he
must seek bed elsewhere
Haunted exclaimed he "stuff and nom
sense, I'll sleep in it Ghost or demon. IN
take look at what haunts it''
Accordingly, after fortifyins himself with a
pipe and tankard, he took up his quarters in
the haunted chamber and retired to rest He
had not lam down many minutes when the bed
shook under him most fearfully He sprang
out OF bed, struck light, flor he had taken the
precaution to place box of lucifer matches by
Ibis bedside,) and made a careful examination
OF the room, but could discover nothing. The
courageous fellow would not return to bed-but
renamed watching for some time. Presently
be saw the bed shake violently-the floor was
hrm-nothing moved but the bed. Determined
II possible, to find out the cause of the bed
quake, he looked in the bed, under the bed
and near the bed, and not seeing anything to
account for the shaking, which every now and
then seemed to seize on the bed, he at last
pulled 1t from the wall. Then the murder
came out" Tho sign board of the inn was
fastened to the outer wall by q nut and screw,
which came through to the back of the bed and
when the wind swung the sign board to and fro,
the movement was communicated to the bed,
causing it to shake in the most violent manner.
The gamekeeper, delighted at having hunted
up the ghost, informed the landlord the next
morning OF the real nature of his unearthIy
visitor, and he was handsomely rewarded for
rendering a ROOM hitherto useless, now quite
serviceable. All the ghost stories on record
might, no doubt, have been traced to similar
sources, if those to whom the " ghosts" ap-
Peared had been as "plucky" as our game
keeper
