| A friend ofours in Benton county, not
more than hundred miles from Pond
Grove, is exceedingly fond of getting a
joke upon his neighbors. and enjoys a
laugh even at his own expense. The tables
were lately turned So nicely upon bin. |,
however, that we doub. WHETHER he viii
try his hand at a joke again for long
time.
lie was lately crossing field on his
premises when he felt peculiar sensation
in his irowscrs leg. and in an instant ite
terrible suspicion fastened upon him that
there was a snake there. Putting out his
hand to ascertain, it came in contact with
what he supposed TO lie the head of the
reptile. II flashed across his mind at once
that the only hope of his life lay in his
ability 10 grasp and firmly hold the ht tad
until he could obtain assistance and exfri>
cate himself from his unpleasant predica-
ment. Selling it, therefore, with one hand,
he started at foil tilt for the house, about
half mile distant. AS he ran he could
feel the reptile wrigglinc around his leg.
ffe was fairly eathcd n a cold sweat at
the thought that it might free itself from
his grasp and give him the fatal blow
while far away from help, and fear lent
wings TO his feet. As he approached the
barn, where his wife was at work, he be-
came fearful OF the terrible effect it might
have upon her to reveal his dangerous sit
uation, and he, therefore, slipped silly in
at the back door. Going into one corner.
he divested himself of his clothing, Che had
kicked off his boots on the way) drew
forth the cause of his terror, and with a
seusc Of relief hurled II violently iromhim.
Ii struck the rafters above, then fell 10 the
floor and revealed TO his asionished gaze
an old piece of rope which he had put, as
he supposed, into his pocket, but which
had slipped down into his trowsers leg
The movement of walking had produced
the wriggling which had at first attracted
his attention. AS he ran, of course, the
motions became more violent. A knot on
one end he h:sG mistaken FOR the head, and
had been holding II as with the grasp OF
DEATH
His wife, good soul, was at first nearly
frightened TO death, then almost laughed
herself 10 death. The story was too good
to keep. and soon his neighbo.s were anx'

Ghost SfOrY.

We do not generally give much credcnce
T. ghosts, but the following from the Dai-
ly, appears so intrlnsically reasonable that
we can not for a moment doubt its truth.
The story is dedicated in an especial
manner to all paper readers.
That appariiions do not always wander
without sufficient cause is proven by the
following:
Last Tuesday, as Mrs. =, lady Of
literary tastes. sat reading in her drawing
room, tho clock on the mantle piece STRUCK
twelve. As the last stroke rcvcrbcrated
through the apartment. the door was flung
wide open. In the act Of raising her eyes
to repcl the unrung for intrusion of her
servant, her eyes rested upon the form OF
her late husband.
She screamed and fell senseles TO the
floor.
This brought up such members Of the
family as had not retired.
Rcstoratives were administered, and
when she had gained her suspended fac>
ulties, being woman of strong mind and
highly cultivated intellect, she felt dispos
to consider the whole distress she had un>
dergone as the result of certain associations
between the melancholy tale she had been
perusng and her late loss, operating upon
partially deranged system.
However, she considered it advisable tc
have her maid iepost iii her chamber les,
any return of what she considered nerv.
Gus affection should distress herself and
alarm the family. ea
Next night, feeling stronger and in bet.
ter spirits than she had been for some time
past, she dispensed with her attendant, re.
firing alone to her chamber, and went Il
bed little before ten o'clock. Exactly a
the clock struck twelve, she was awakened
from her sleep, and distinctly beheld tn,
apparition she had seen before, sdvapcin,
from the table on which stood her nigh
lamp, till it drew the curtains of her bed

The counterarce of her beloved in lif
wore not its benevolent aspect His eyes
once beaming with love were now fixe,
with stern regard on the trembling being

4 Great EVIL,

Our race groans under evils, and carries
burdens heavy to be borne; some OF these
may lie traced back 10 the first sin and are
beyond our control, but most OF them are
Of our own producing, and may be arrests
cd by reso,ute act Of the will, or by aids
which come from other sources.
Two evils now fill the land and wosld
which are Of human invention, and arc
sustained by human authority. One of
these is alcoholic drinks and the other is
the use OF tcbacco-=of The latter we wish
to say few words.
This has grown and overspread the n.-
tions Of the earth till now it challenges OBJ
sery alton, reflection, and the exercise of
enlightened conscience while looking tic
naked facts in the face. Such Is its pres.
ent extent, that five and half millions of
acres are occupied in its growth, produc>
ing two millions of tons annually and cos
ting the human race ten thousand milli5hs
of dollars, by far tnofe ilian enough to pay
the whole debt, in one year, OF the United
States and Great Britain, startling IS the
fact may seem. In our own country alone
one hundred and fifty millions are expen-
dcd annually in its consumption, 10y far
more than is appropriated to support the
gospel of Christ and the cause of educa-
iion. How appalling suct state Of
things, while want and suffering are MI
around u.s. Multiudcs are without the Bi-
BILE, millions ..u.;e never heard the name ol
Christ, and the most Important enterprises
for promoting The welfare of mankind, fal
ter and fail for the want OF support.
Yet this enormous expenditure is entire
ly useless. No one claims that he is Tho
better for the use OF tobacco IN any form
II is a me,e habit, innocently formed, and
while at first pleasure has grown to be q
master and tyrant.
Not only this, but II is an offensive, FL
thy habit, finding no place in the church
in the parlor, the ladies' saloon, or else.
where, as high order Of society meet:
and inaulges in exercises which the highs
CT nature Graves. .i
Multitudes, using it, are ashamed Of ihs
fruits of 1t, and would be glad TO be rid 81
it, If they knew how 10 break away from
the enchantneht. But this is not all, OF
even the worst of il. 1t Is injurious to
health; when taken to excess operates al
Iof q poisonous nature, weakening the sys-
tenn, and leading 10 premature death.
Such evils. together with its enormoti
expenditure, ought to make sober, reflect'
ing conscientious men consider whether Il
can be right to continue such . habit Al
this--oughti it not to be overcome at al
hazards, and thus pfomote health and
cleanliness, and save the funds thus use
lessly spent to provide for personal and
family wants and build up the cause OF
truth and righteousness in the world'--

Mrs Whitman drew her veil over her

heart, from the store. The pleasure she

went to the booimakers and paid the bill
of twenty-five dollars; from thence to her
ElillEer's, and settled for her last bonnet
VI know you're dying to see my new

her countenance had departed. She took
something, in a hunied way, from draw

We leave the explanations and scene
that followed to the readers Imagination
If any fair lady, however, who, like Ada
has been drawing too heavily on her hus
bands slender income, for silks and jewels
is at loss 10 realize the scene, let her try
Ada's experiment. Our word for il. she
will find a new anil glad exper:encein life.
Costly silks and jewels may be very pleas
ant things. but they arc too dearly bought
when they como as price of husbands
embarrassment, mental disquietude OF
alienation. Too often the gay young wife
wears them as the sign of these unhappy
conditions. Tranquil hearts, and sunny
homes are precious things; too precious tc
he burdencd and cloudcd by weak vanity
and love of show. Keep tins in mind, oh
We fair ones, who have husbands in mod
crate circumstances. Do not let your
pride and pleasure Cypress them. Rict
clothing costly laces and gems. are pool
substitutes for smiling peace and hearts
unshadowed by care. Take the lesson an6
live by it. rather than offer another illus
tration, in your own experiehcc, OF Tie
folly we have been trying to expose ant
rebnke.
