A nd my language is plain
That for ways that are dark
And for tricks that are vain

Yet he played it thai. day upon William
And me in u waTJ despise.
Which we had ?. small game,
And All Sin took hand

He did not understand;
But he smiled as he sat by the table.
With q smile that was child-llke and plano.
Yet the cards they were stocked
In way that l grieve,
And nv feelings were shocked p
At the state of Nye's sleeve;
Which was stuffed full of aces and bowers
And the same with intent to deceive.
But the hands that were played
By that heather Chinee,
And the points that he made
Were quite frightful to see
Till at last he put down a right bower
Which the same Nye had dealt unto ME.
Then looked up at Nye,
And he gazed upon me;
And he rose with sigh,
And said, ''Can this be?
We are ruined by Chinese cheap labor
And he went for that heather Chlnee.
In the scene that ensued
7 did not take a hand,
Bat the floor it was strewed
Like the leaves on the strand
With the cards that All Sin had been hiding,
In the game he did not understand"
In his sleeves, which were long,
He had twenty-four packs
" hich was coming it strong,
Yet state but the facts;
And we found on his nails, which were taper
What is frequent in taperS-thats wax.
Which is why / remark.
and my language is plain,
That for ways that are dark,
And for tricks that are vain,
The heather Chinee is peculiar
Which the same | am free to maintain.

APPEARANCE OF A GHOST The people on
the western part of town, near Kenmore, are
very nlueh exercised about the appearance of
what is supposed to be ghost in that quarter
last Sunday morning between Il and II o clock
L is SAID thai about that time OF the day. du-
ring the shower Of rain, Mr. Mills saw a man
crawling Gu his hands along by the fence drag
cling his teet after him, as though his legs were
parai} sed He spoke to two ladies standing in
the door aud asked What does that mean p
OF course they could not tell, and Mr. Mills
said hat he would see. and stepped out to the
fence, which was bat some zen or fifteen feet,
by which time the supposed man had passed
him some few feet Mr.. Mills got over the
fence, and started after the man and asked
where he was going The man Strengthened
Up on his feet to full height which was higher
than that of medium sized man-and said in
a distinct tone: Il am going down" and
vanished out of sight. The figure was dressed
in the full uniform Of Federal soldier which
was clean and apparently new, with the blue
overcoat coming down to near the feet. Mr.
Mills did not see the face Of the man, but the
two ladies did, and say the face was a bronze
with hard features
The persons who say they saw this are of IN
doubted gerac;sy, and although they do not be-
liege 10 ghosts, they are unable to account for
this sudden appearance and mysterious disap-
pearauce in broad daylight 1t has created
quite an excitement In that part OF town.

Fulton's First Steamboat.

4 correspondent of the Geneva Courier re-
lates the following story Of the Kate Morgan,
the little steamer which for more than a gener-
alton has piled ca Cayuea Lake, her owners
obeying the behest of the proprietor, to run
her till she busts."
Before the Chancellor Livingstone stemmed
the current of the Hudson, yet after the little
Cierinont had stirred the quiet waters of the
Collect Pond, the whistle of the Kate Morgan
awoke the echoes in the Taughanic Glen, and
her paddleWheel dashed the spray upon Cay
uga bridge. There is a bit of romance attach
ing TO her name and building.
Old General Morgan, Of revolutionary fame,
had noble estate on the eastern bank of the
lake. not far from where the present Wells Col
lege now stands. Between his only daughter,
q lovely girl Of eigteen. and young Fulton, had
long existed a tender attachment, which, how
ever, the poverty and obscurity of Robert led
the General to severely frown upon. Fulton
went to New York He labored long years ia
perlecting his invention; his day of triumph
came, aad then he wrote to the stern father,
relating his success and asking for the daught
er's hand.
May, wrote back the incredulous old sol
dier, Il Il believe what see with my own eyes.
Come you back, scapegrace, to the lake; build
and sad q steamboat past my own door; and
theu, ana noE TIL Iiien, snail you nave my
daughter Kate.
Need say that Fulton came joyfully back
that steamer was built as rapidly as crcum-
stances would permit; that she was launched,
and In Que tine did sail triumphantly past the
Generals door But let me add that, accor-
dag 10 an express stipulation made by the sly
Robert in case he succeeded, when the Kate
Morgan sheered in towards the General dock,
a small boat vas seen pushing out, containing
the original Kate, her grim father, and gen
tleman in clerical vestments. They were soon
on beard, and there, amid the waving of flags,
the ringing Of bells. and the blowing of whis-
ties, the proud inventor and bis prouder bride
were made one. A glorious sweep up and
down the lake completed the first bridal trip by
steam ever known in this country.
