Ike the wall " LOST sp'rits came trembling and
wA!ias along Our streets. reop'e' startled from
tne'r creams nurr'eo,y rose from their beds, ho's-
ted tner windows ana thrust ost tneir heads, to
see the cause OF tn's snw3nted disturbance OF
their peaceful siameers Imagine their horror
whom shey discovered that,t was nothing more nor

spread out Tor distance OF more than square,
TWO ana two together. They had torohi'ghts, so
rs to see how to navigste our rugged paths with
out stumping their ghostly toes, or breaking their
ghostly necks. They seemed to have on their
grave-clothes not having time, We suppose, in the
hurry of the moment, to change their garments.
They wore long gowns, or robes, extending down
to the feet, some white, some iead-eelored and
some black. They had cowls az hoOds OH their
heads, drawn down over their faces, and some
were in masks. Some few were dressed in gay
and eaudy trappings, like the pseudo princes Of
theatrical thrones. Oue. ruling shost, VIC sup

battle scene. But the mos. OF them were sOstam-
ed in habilimsnts sufficiently sombre to satisfy
the most scrupulous and exactinG ghost, Not q
word escaped their sealed lips; order and quiet
prevailed, and slow and solemn was their tread.
They marched along the'prncipal streets of the
city. and then vanished into thin air. What be-
came Of them We know not or, where they came
from is question which We are equally unable to
