LORD LYTTLETON AND THE GHOST.
Some wears ago | met an old gentleman at
Ewel, in Surrey, near which is Pitts place,
where his lordsbip died. He gave me the fol.
lowing account which he had from gentle
man who was in the house at the time. This
person was the organist of neghborlng
town, whose company was much courted on
account of his musical talent, and who was
a frequent visitor to bis lordship. The story
ordinarily told is this: THAT be dreamed
the ghost of lady whom be had seduced
appeared to him, and predicted bis death at
II o'clock at night 90 the third day follow
ing" My informantS story differs only thus
far, that the supposed apparition was that OF
the mother of the lady in question, who bad
died of o broken heart in consequence OF her
daughters disbonor. Lord Lyttleton was at
this time 10 very bad state OF health in con-
sequence of his excesses, and was subject to
what my informant called "sutfocatlng its
probably nervous bysteria.
BE this as it may, it appears on the day OF
bis death, the foretOld third day, he had
party of friends at Pitts place, among whom
was the orsanist whence my informant had
the account He says that Lyttleton was in
a state Of some agitation, and bad told the
story of the dream to his friends. As the
night wore on and midnight approached, his
nervousness increased painfully; and some OF
his visitors said during bis absence, "LyttIe-
ton will frghten himself into another fit
with this ghost story" and they determined
to put q clock. which stood in the room, for
ward, and when he returned to them they
said, "Hurrab! Lyttleton, twelve o'clock IS
past, you've jockeyed the ghost; now the best
thing is to 90 quietly to bed, and IN the morn
ing you will be all right" lie accordingly
went up stairs; and while some of his guests
we're putting on their coats to depart, his va
let came down to fetch souethiDg-it was
said to get some mint water, which he was IN
the habit of taking, leaving his l.ordship
alone.
At this period, the clock of the parish
church, which was not far of, and which, Of
course, could not have been touched, began
slowly to peal forth the true midnight hour.
The valet proceeded up stairs and shortly
burst forth into loud ordinations. The
party ran up and found his lordship fallen
dead My informant's impression was that
the sudden revulsion of feeling from a state
of faucied security to finding himself at the
moment in the very instant of the dreaded
danger, had caused such q reaction as to
bring on the fits which carried him off,
He, no doubt had heard the first stroke ofthe
clock, as well as others down stairs, and as
each successive blow struck slowly upon the
hell, the sense Of danger and the remem.
brance of the dream became greater aud
greater, and to so weakened frame and to
80 diseased a mind, no doubt these caused the
catastrophe. 1t is not improbable most
gnost stories might DO found to end 10 sim
liar natural solut o. Notes and Queries.

and recovered large portion OF this money and
other articles, al the house of Petty-and that
ne desired 70 have his wife and daughter prose
cutcd to the extent OF the law-that they had

son: esq, for further hearing. Upon question.
ing him, ! ascertaned that these parties had

deposited at all times, and that the facts OF the
case could not Justify the detention OF Mrs
Carroll and the daughter, upon charge OF
felony did not understand Captain Carroll
as duplicating Petty in any manner, nor did
the facts So far as they came TO my knowledge,
tend to implicate him-on the contrary, he re-
fused to permit the parties charged to remove
the trunk in which the money was found, with
out the knowledge and consent OF Capt. Carroll

SPRING THUNDER.
TErnp, tho o,;o,;llo Joorno1


We know by the breath OF the balmy air,
BY the sprngIng grass and the sunshine fair
By the soft rain ialling-as if in love-
The sleeping blossoms and bulbs above
By the TINT OF green on the forest brown,
By the fallen tasses of Aspen down,
By the lilac bud and the .turited larch-
That We have done with the wayward March.
We know by the call of the nesting bird,
As she feels her mother impulse stirred,
By the venturing forth OF the lonely bee
like the dove sent out Ger the olden sea-,
BY the croak Of the frog in his willowy pond,
By the doves low moan in the copse beyond,
By the quickening pulse and the thrilling VEN,
That April laughs into lite again.
But not the sunshine, the breeze, the showers,
The tender green on the embryo flowers,
The voices Of birds or the quickened sense,
Appeal with such startling eloquence
TO the heart that yearns for the summers reign,
Weary and earthsick from winters chaln)
As that sound which seems through space to
The first lo,c thunder Of wakened Spring!
Oh! marvel not that the men of old
Deemed its deep music by gods controlled,
And by the power that within them strove,
Called it the wrath OF the mystic Jove-
For we are stirred with an awe profound
By that mysterious and sulleR sound
Nor give we faith to the birds and bloom
Till We hear that fiat Of Winters DOOM.
So in the Spring of our lfes career,
We stand and gaze on the opening year,
We feel the sunshine, we drink the breeze,
But no source OF feeling is stirred by these;
Not till the voice OF the stormy soul
SweIs like the sound of the thunder roll
Not till the food.gates Of sorrow break
In passionate tears-doth our Summer wake!
BEEcHMORE, April 7, 1898.
