VAMPIRES AND GHOULS.

These gentry are not yet quite dead,
AT least the belief in them still fingers
in some country districts; while in
Southeastern Europe and Southwestern
Asia the credence prevails among whole
tribes, and even nations.
The most detailed vampire stories
belong to the Danubian and Greek
countries. Tournefort describes scene
that came under his personal notice in
Greece. A Apeasant of Mycone was mur-
dered in the field in the year 1901. He
had beena man ofquarrelsome, ill.natur-
ed disposition just the sort of man, ac-
cording to the current belief of the
peasantry, to be haunted by vampires
after death. Two days after his burial,
IT was noised about that he had been
seen to walk in the night with great
haste, overturning peoples goods, put
ting out their lights, pinching them
ana playing them strange pranks. The
rumor was SO often repeated that at
length the priests avowed their beliefin
its truth. Masses were said in the chap
els, and ceremonies were performed,
having for their object to drive out the
vampire that Inhabited the dead man.
On the tenth day after the burial, a
mass was said, the body was disinterred
and the heart taken out. Frankincense
was burned to ward Off infection; but
the bystanders Insisted on the smoke OF
the frankincense being direct emana
tlon from the dead body,-a sure sign,
according to popular belief, of vampir.
ism. They burned the heart on the
sea'shore, the conventional way of get.
ting rid of vampires. Positive state
ments went the round of the village that
the dead man was still up to all kind.
of mischief, beating people in the
night, breaking down doors, unroofinl
houses, shaking windows. The matter
became serious. Many of the inhabi
tants were so thoroughly frightened
and panic.strlcken as to flee; while
those who remained nearly lost sci
control. They debated, they tasted
they made professions through the vii
lage, they sprinked the doors Of thu
houses with holy water, they speculateG
as to whether mass had been properly
said, and the heart properly burned
AT length they resolved to burn tn,
body itself; they collected plenty O
wood, pitch, and tar, and carried GU
their plan. Tournefort (who had foun,
1t necessary to be cautious as to OK
pressing his incredulity) states that n,
more was heard of the supposed VAN
pire.
In the year 1926, on the borders G
Hungary and Transylvania, vampir
story arose, which was renewed after
wards ina noteworthy way. A pea
ant of Madveiga, named Arnold Pau
was crushed to death by the fall of

10 virgin divinely stands
with golden anchors In her hands,
Her garments arc of purest white,
All DER bedecked with gems OF light.
Her brow IL wreathed with golden flowers,
Gathered from celestial bowers.
Her shoes are made of solid pearl,
Laced with strans of shining beryl.
Her eyes are fixed on Him above,
Beaming bright with heavenly love,
And DER her face plays holy smile
Without thought or trace of guile.
But 10! storm is lowering near,
The thunder rolls,--does the Maiden fear?
The rain dosccnds-the air grows dark,
VIII she flnd shelter?-listen !-hark!
The storm Gods In commissions roar,
Ihe Hoods arise. they love the shore.
And oh behold the angry deep
Raises above the maiden's feet
Does not the smile from her faes depart,
ANA terror freczc her tender heart?
NO! calmly aud serene she stands
ANA casts an anchor from her hands
When 10 behold, the angry deep
itetreatlng leaves the malden's feet;
She casts u gem from her garments white,
Darkness disappears and all is light.
Again, she throws golden flower,
ANA 10! the sun breaks through the shower
Behold the maiden standing yet,
Nor is the hem of her garment wet,-
Another trial must yet be passd.
One more-the keenest and the last
genii, dressed In garments blue,
Presents himself to the maidcns view,
Then draws sward from Its horned sheatho
And undermines the sword beneath.
The maiden now,.with fearful eye,
Casts an anchor, and draws n sigh.
The genl grins and still works on.
And his hard task is almost done,
When the maiden casts her golden rings
And scars away on angel wings.
Higher, and higher still she flies,
Aud glorous'y ascends the skies;-
Dropping her anchors and every gem
She receives an immortal diadem.
weapons Of defense, she needs no more,
NO Toes can enter that blissful shore,
triumphant now, her song shall be

To Whom Shall We Give Thanks !

A little boy had sought the pump

Then said the pump, "My little man,
You're welcome to what have done;
But am not the one to thank

Polite he always meant to be).
Cold Water please accept my thanks
You have been very kind to me-"

And gracefully he bowed his heal;

The Spring with silvery accents said.
'Oh, don't thank me--for what ami

"Oh, well, them" said the little boy.
I'm gladly thank the Rain and Dew."

PALPITATIoN OF THE HEART
There are probably few persons who
have not at some time In their lives
had, IL not for more than a moment,
palpitation Of the heart. The disease
is dependent on over excitement OF
nerves ofthis organ. Usually It lasts
for few minutes, but cases are on rec
ord of its continuing eight days at the
rate of 100 beats to the minute. Where
not caused by disease of the heart or its
valves, 1t is not dangerous affection
The best treatment is perfect quiet and
composure in recumbent posture. 1
1t continues long apply hot compressel
over the region of the heart, changin,

ticles of food. We have known man,
instances of palpitstion cured by adopt

FAIR PLAY ON THE TURF-How
THE LAW MAY INTERFERE.-On the
Goth of May last, at trotting match at
Breeze Park. near Philadelphia, a man
named James Fleet threw a coat at
i" American Girl as she was coming
down the home stretch, in the lead.
Fleet was arrested, and charged with
an assault and battery on Benz. Daniels,
the driver. Judge Allison, of Phila.
delphia, in his charge to the jury, said:
" In this case it is not pretended that
the coat thrown did come in contact
