Haunted Houses.


"All houses wherein men have lived and died
Are haunted housesp f9
And all houses wherein men live are
haunted houses,-haunted with memories
of the past; be they shadowy or sonny,
that haunt US still.
The mind itself is s'ore-house pleth-
oric with recollections of numberless little
deeds and acts which go TO make up the
busy past, and whose shadowy spectres we
could not Danish if we would, and We
would not if we could. These ghosts of
deeds help make US what we are. There
is no present save the incomprehensible
now, which links the mighty abyss of
the past to those manly resolves and noble
purposes, and that Heavenly Faith which
are all of the future we can embody in
ourselves.
But ghosts Of deeds yet in full armour
haunt US daily. A pleasant word, and
face beaming with love, or the laughing
eye Of merry school boy or girl, will
leave phantom Of smiles and happiness
around the heart all day long while, alas
discordant tones and passionate frowns-
with what fendish eyes their ghosts glare
upon us, making the apparition en.fold
more hideous than the real I! and these
fearful hunters work upon the fancy till
we long again for the jarring tones, to see
whether they indeed be 50 bad as their
frightful ghosts represent them to be. Ye
to whose keeping is entrusted the earthly
happiness Of mortals, whose looks and
tones radiate through your habitations
which are the abodes Of spectres, look to il
well that the ghosts of your deeds wear
smiles the whole live long day.

ST. PATRICK'5 DAY.

Whit the Fourth of July is to the
American, Christmas to the English,
and the opening of the lager beer season
to the Germans, ST. Patrick's day is to
the Irish. It's their day of days, when
smouldcring sparks of the nationality
they are so proud of is blown into flame
afresh, and devotion to the "swee little
isle of the sea" is sworn anew. No
irishmo0,, but glories in the day, and
rises to the full extent of his inches
when he thinks that some time it may
be kept in the ancient kingdom, as it
never has been kept belor3-with no
Saxon official to Interfere with the
wearing of the green and the friendly
breaking of heads.
Saint Patrick, the patron saint Of
Ireland according to the generally re-
ceived tradition, was born in Scotland,
near the mouth of the Clyde, in the
year 372, and died in county Down,
in the old Kingdom of Ulster, about
464. When a boy he was captured by
band Of Irish marauders, and carried
with them to Ireland as a slave. Alter a
captivity of six months he was fortunate
enough to escape, and made his way
back to Scotland, only to be again made
prisoner by the same parties. Escaping
for the second time, he resolved to be-
come missionary to the Irish, and after
long preparation, was ordained in Scot
land, and afterward consecrated bishop.
Having, says the old record, visited
Gaul, and nerhaps Italy, he passed tc
his chosen field of labor, about 1872, and
preached the gospel with such cxtraordi
nary effect that, although not absolutely
the first to introduce christianity into
that country, he has received the credit
Of its general conversion. He baptised
the kings of Dublin and Munster, and
the seven sons of the King of Con
naught, with the greater part o.
their subjects, and before his death hat
converted almost the whole island to the
faith. St. Bernard testifes that hC
fixed his Metropolitan See at Armagh
and it appears that he appointed othe
bishops, with whom he had councils t.
settle the discipline of the church which
he had planted. In his old age h

SINGULAR VILLA gentleman who
died in Centre Wheeling few days

giving to one friend his coat, another
his shoes, another his hat, etc., etc.
The will is very lengthy document,
covering over two sheets of foolscap
paDer, and the total value of the arti-
cles bequeathed to surviving friends will
not exceed fifty dollars. The Justice of
the Peace was occupied for near four
hours in drawing up the "last will and

pleted the task the dying man thanked
him kindly, and assured him he wonld
have paid him for his trouble and labor
had not all that he owned been given
