unknown TO some of the ancient E9yp-
tians, and when Eaxod1s 1.-THE celebra1d

Phoenicians, Greeks, and several other
nations, acknowledged that their ances-
tors were once without The use Of Ere.
and the Chinese confess the same of their
progenitoFs. Pompanius, Mela, Plar
iarch, and other ancient authors, speak
of nations who. at the time they wrote,
knew not the use of FIRE, or had but Just
learned il. Facts Of the same kind are
also attested by modern nations. The
inhabitants Of the Marian Islands. which
were discovered in 1851. lad no idea of
fire. NsFer was establishment greater

The Ghost Of d PrisSsI IHtsrfupts the

i A remarkable STORY iacurrent in Pits

as il was told u.s. withog Of course, en-

About two weeks ago lhthe village Of
HLatrobe, In Western pennsylvania, a
solemn mass was PERFORMED j. the Ros
man Catholic Church, sssSr the Jrepose Of
the soul of deceased pfsast. A number
Hof worshipers were IN Me church at the
time. just as the officatipg priest was
about to perform the noA solemn part Of
Ithe rites, his purpose wss checked by4an
astonishing appearance The form Of
the deceased priest hiIsself appeared in
front of the alter, with me hand uplifted
Elm warning manner. The officiating
clergyman stepped back when the ghost
ly priest. or priestly gho addressed his
brother in flesh and the congregation.
He said that they were taking unneces-
sary trouble to get him but Of Purga-
tory. The priest might save his prayers
and penitenis their pennies. They could
not get him ont Of Pdxtalory, because
he never was in it. Furthermore there
was no caAnce for hin9 to get there as
there was no such a place lis Purgatory.
Il was all ID mistake. de should feel
very much obliged If tbayE could get him
out Of the spot where Re was, but that
was impossible. There was but two
places of'future existence one of perpet-
Eual bliss and the other b sperpetual pun

He therefore warned NRmS that their
masses for the repose Of lhis Or any other

NEVER DO TOO MUCH AT a TIME.

Sir Edward Bulwer Lytton, in lecture re-
Gently delivered, gave the following history of
his literary habits: MANY persons seeing me
80 much engaged in active life, and as much
about the world, as if | had never been stu
dent, have said to me, When do you get time
to write all your books? How on earth do
you contrive to do so much work?' l shall
surprise you by the answer l make. The an
sser is this. contriye to do so much by new
er doing too much at a time. A man. to get
through work well, must not overwork himself,
or, If he do too much to-day the reaction OF
fatigue will come, and he will be obliged to do
TOO little Tomorrow. Now, since began re-
ally and earnestly to study, which was not till
had left college, and was actually in the
world, I may perhaps say have gone through
rs large course Of general reading as most
men of my time. have travelled much, and
have seen much; have mixed much in poll
tics and the various business of life j; and, in
addition to this, I have published somewhere
about thirty-six volumes, some upen subject
recurring much research And what time, do
you think, as general rule, have devoted to
study---to reading and writing? Not more
than three hours day; aud, when parliament
is sitting. not always that, But, then, during
those hours, have given my whole attention
to what was about"

The seed is sowr, and at the appointed time
the ministers will return with their sheaves
amid the shouting of the harvest. In heaven
they will know the pious purposes they have
awakened, the tears they have dried, the sighs
they have checked, the broken hearts they have
bound up and the wounded spirits they have
colnforted in this world Of sorrow, toll and care
And they will know, toa, the evils and the
crimes they have prevented and the influence
Of that example they have left for the imitation

nothing more, they will have honornd God in

Meanwhile the partners set every engine to
work to discover the truth. Detective officers
came to and fro, examined and cross-exanined
with ceaseless activity, following up the scent
like hounds. The facts by degrees unfolded
themselves, and it became evident that Rich
ar,lson must have been drowned that night Of
the fog on his way to the ship.
But what became of the body? More rest
lessness OF detectives and further circumstances
were relieved of their veil of mystery. \
drowned man had been found on the very NOR
ing after his disappearance. The body was
traced 10 lhe inquest, the records of that in
quiry looked up, and all doubt removed that
the remains there represented as those of Mac
larlane were in reality none other than those
of poor Richardson. There was no possibility
of direct Identification at this distance of time,
but record of the articles found on the body
(which had been given up to Wood!ey) had
been preserved at the police Office, and were
identified by the wretched wife as tie contents
of her husbands pockets on that fatal day
But who and where was Woodley? What
interest could he have in fase-swearing to the
body? Was it a conspiracy or d mistake ?
More tracing of evidence and now was found
a memorandum in the registry, that the insu-
rance company had asked for Information con
corning the deceased, and received a copy of
the entry. This fresh clue: light broke in
upon the darkness which had hitherto surroun-
ded the inquiry. The insurance company was
communicated with. and after having investi-
gated the facts, came to the Irresistible conclu-
sion that their client Macfarlane had undoubt-
edly given evidence of his own decease, and
was in the society Of Mrs. Mac.-who had
completely recovered from her indsposition-
enjoying good slice of the company's capital
in some foreign country
