A beautiful Demon.

In going through the parish prison
few days since, the attention of the re-
porter was attracted to young girl, ap-
parently not more than 15 years of age.
She had fair nut-brown hair, and COM
plexion fresh and white as milk. The
mild blue eyes were singularly soft and
intelligent, and her whole appearance
indicated the free, joyous characteristics
of youth and happiness. Yet this amia-
BILE looking creature, this fair, delicate
Minerva, of slenderform and ingenious
face, is said to be devil incarnate. She
was not a prisoner, only visitor to the
institution, and when the reporter saw
her she was conversing with a noted
burglar; indeed, she says she is cousin
OF Pete Munday's. and goes under the
soubriquet of Lily. She is almost as fair
and delicate as one. Her career is re-
markable series of adventures and hair
breadth escapes. About year ago, she
lived in San Antonio, Texas. and for
some real or fancied misconduct received
a severe castigation at the hands of the
man with whom she was living. Burn
ing with resentment and conscious of
inability to cope with him in physical
strength, she waited until the next night
when he was asleep, and then locking
the doors of the room, and closing every
avenue of escape, she prepared for a
work of horror almost impossible to con-
ceive. On one pretext or another she
sent the inmates of the house away, and
procuring paper and other intiammable
material, built funeral pyre round the
bed of the Sleeping man. This done, e,she
set fire to it, and locking the door be-
hind her, fled the house. The man woke
up when the house was full of flames,
and in escaping from the room was lit
orally roasted. One side of his body was
burned almost to cinder. He has never
recovered from his injuries, and is to-day
hopeless invalid, suffering excruciating
torture and continual anguish. His
generosity-perhaps his sense of atone
ment- prevented his prosecuting the
girl, and she made her escape to New
Orleans. Arriving there, she took rooms
on Toulouse street, between Rampant
and Burgundy, where she now resides.
She is yet very young, certainly not
more than II at farthest. Her vindic-
tive and savage fury when excited, is a
terror to all her acquaintance. 1t is
strange that beneath an exterior SO fair
and beautiful should be concealed the
element of such lawless violence.-NsaO

An Ohio Ghost Story.

The little village of Germantown,
Montgomery county, Ohio, twelve miles
southeast of Dayton, on the Cincinnati,
Hamilton and Dayton Railroad, has re-
Gently been much excited over some
phenomena occurring in its neighbor-
hood, which by the villagers are attrib-
uted to ghostly agencies. The details
of the matter are certainly very remark
able. The report of them has spread
far and wide, and at least five hundred
persons have visited the scene OF action.
About mile and quarter north of
Germantown stands a plain farm house,
occupied by family named Silver. The
house is built of wood, and is two sto-
ries high, with cellar divided into
basement on the east side, and cellar
and spring house behind the basement
ON the west. The family consists of the
father, Samuel Silver, and his wife
Catherine, their children, Benjamin Sti-
yer, Samuel Silver, Jr., William Silver,
John Silver, and Mary Silver, with
Christina, the wife of Benjamin Silver,
and Charles Pontius, boy nine years
old. Benjamin Silver, the eldest of the
sons, young man of twenty-nine, re-
cites the Occurrences substantially as
follows: g. .... .-.. ..-...'.
On Friday, the 21st of July, his wife
and her sister, on going down cellar, OBJ
served that the top crust or skin of two
custard pies was removed. They were
not disturbed otherwise. The pies then
looked fresh the crust or skin was miss
ing and could not be found. There were
also four apple pies on the same board
with the custard, and each contained
marks which appeared to have been
made by thrusting the thumb and fin
gers through the centre. Ten or fifteen
minutes afterward tubful of potatoes
were found scattered all over the cellar,
appearing as though pitched about by
some one, and the tub was tipped. over.
They found also dish-rag and an old
pot under q bench in the cellar, removed
from their usual place of keeping. A
loaf of bread placed on the same board
with the pies appeared to have q piece
bitten off. The pies and bread were all
sound when placed there. The dish-rag,
which was kept on the top of hogs
head, was found missing four different
times in succession. The potatoes were
picked up at least six times and put
back into the tub. There was no one in
the cellar at the time who could have
thrown them about. The persons in the
house then were Benjamin, his wife, her
sister, and the little boy Pontius. A few
minutes after supper, eleven crooks OF
milk were found upset and the contents
spilled out. A large crock and small
tub of milk were also spilled. N
On the following Saturday morning
more milk crooks were upset in the
spring house, as was also six-gallon
stone jar half full of water, in which a
crock of yeast had been placed TO cool
A fruit jar was thrown from the mantel-
piece in the basement. Two stones, one

] he rain is drifting down again: '
1t xeeps across the rose.pinl1 lawn,
1t trembles on the window pane,
And round the hills its veil is drawn.
Oh, cold and long the day will be;
No light, no warmth, il brings TO me;
For you, my love! my love to-day
Wait in the sweet South far away.
How wait you? In some grassy place,
Beneath an arch of bowery trees,
A smile upon your up-turned face,
Your hands ciasped idly on your knees
My love my Lowell the day is dark:
The rain is dull and cold and, bark
The wind is up; l hear the sea-
That separates you, dear, from me.
What happy sun shines in your eyes,
What flowers Of France about you bloom?
What rare, sequestered beauty lies
Far in the low hills purplsh gloomg
The garden leaves about me fall,
The vines hang loosely on the wall;
And, hush across the storm comes, faint,
The ring-doves murmuring, low complaint.
Dear love! when in some still MONDAY
Your rapt, high glance you northward turn,
l catch its light here, far away,
Famed with the airs OF sweet Auvergne:
Your face comes in my sleep-a star
To guide me through my dreams aiar:
l feel a kiss on cheek and hair,
And then, oh, then, the day dawns fair.
Through summer hours our love was born;
The water shone about our feet,
The fields were green with growing corn,
And June laughed low in lane and street.
Oh love my love in days like these,
When we two watched the birds and bees
Flash through the flowers about our door,
We asked the world for nothing more.
What if the ship which bears you home
Goes sailing by the sunlit strand,
While, weeping, here watch and roam
In memory's tender, twilight land?
Oh love! my love! l watch and wait:
The land with rain is desolate,
And all the blue toss of the sea,
Lies now betwiXt the light and me.
So, on and on my thoughts are led:
l hide my tears against the wall,
And, dreaming thus, hear the tread
OF unknown feet along the hall.
dare not lookl All, heaven if he
Should come this rainy day TO me,
Then all these rain-drops, shining cold,
Would turn to bits of burning gold

pieces. He laid them on the table, and
putting his finger on one said: This

and the other one am going to keep
myself He played with them while,

not find it. We'll, said I, my lad,
