An AstOnished Conductor.

"Get aboard, old limpey," said pert
railroad conductor to an aged, plainly
dressed lame man, standing on the plat
form, waiting for the signal to depart ;
"get aboard, old limpey, or you'll get
left" At the signal, the old gentleman
quietly stepped aboard and took seat by
himself. When the conductor, in taking
up the tickets, came to him and demanded
his fare, he replied, II do not pay fare on
this road" "Then l will put you of at
the next station"
The conductor passed on, and passen-
ger, who had seen the transaction, said to
him, Did you know that old gentleman =
mo, did not" "Well, it is Mil,
the President of this road" The conduc
tor changed color, and bit his lips, but
went on and finished taking up the tickets.
As soon as he had done he returned to
"old limpey," and said, Sir, | resign my
station as conductor" "Sit down here,
young man, do not wish to harm you
but We run this road for profit and To ac-
commodate the public, and we make it an
invariable rule to treat every person with
perfect civility, whatever garh he wears,
or whatever inirmity he suffers. This
rule is imperious upon every one of our

what you have done, but it must not be
repeated"
That conductor afterward never saw
among his passengers another "old

A Ghost Story.

LORD BRoUGHAM tells the following
CHEST story on his father:
On all subjects my father was very
skeptical. He was fond of telling a story
in which he had been an actor, and, as he
used to say, in which his unbelieving OBJ
stinacy had been the means of demolish-
ing what would have been a very pretty
ghost story. He had been diningin Deans
Yard, Westminster, with pa-.y of young
men, one of whom wa.s mis- intimate friend /.
Mr.. Calmel. mere was some talk abo VI
the dea...n OF a Mrs. Nightingale, who nd
recently died under some melancholy Car
cumstances, and had been buried ID the
abbey. Some one offered to bet thf 1 nc
one of those present would go down into
the grave and drive nail into the coffin
Calmel accepted the wager, only Hpulat
ing that he might have lantern. He was
accordingly let into the cathef Iral by 9
door out Of the cloisters, and the re left tc
himself The p,rty, after watt ng an hour
or more for Calmel, began to think some
thing must have happened TO fim, and that
he ought to be locked after; so my father
and two or three more got light and
went to the grave, at the bottom of which
lay the apparently dead body of Mr.. Cal.
mel He was quickly transported to the
prebend's dining room, and recovered out
Of his fainting 1T. AS soon as he could
find has tongue he said, .Well, have
won nv wager, and you'll find the nail In
the coffin; but, by JOve! the lady rose up,
laid hold of me and pulled me down be.
fore could scramble out Of the grave.
Calmel stuck to his story in spite of all
the scoffing Of his friends; and the ghost
OF Mrs. Nightingale would have been all
over the town but for my fathers obstinate
incredibly. Nothing would satisfy him
but an ocular inspection of the grave and
coffin; and so, getting light, he and some
of the party returned to the grave. There,
the coffin; but hard fixed by it was piece
of Mr.. Calmea's coat tail So there was an
end of Mrs. Nightingale's ghost. This
grave afterward became remarkable for .

celebrated artist, representing Mr.. Night

Two Honest Men.

David Davis, one of the early citizens Of
Lewiston, Me-, now gone to his reward
was most excellent Quaker-a man Of
unspotted integrity. Some time before
his death, he went TO his son-in-law, A.
Wakefield, ESQ, and said TO him: II hear
there is pasture for sale manning it) for
500, and believe I'll buy it." He bought
It, bat told the owner 1t was werth e125,
and paid the owner that sum for it,
Shortly after. the person Of whom Mr.
Davis bought the pasture wanted loan OF
$40, and Mr.. Davis granted him the loan,
taking his note for that sum. Before long
Mr.. Davis was taken Ill, and feeling that II
was his last illness, he called Mr.. Wake
field to his side, and said to him:
II have q note Of $40 against Mr.. A.,
and l want thee, after ! am gone, to de-
stroy it."
Mr.. Wakefield, wondering and asking
an explanation, he said:
"Thee knows bought that pasture Of
Mr.. A., and didn't pay him as much as 1t
was worth, and l don't feel that he ought
to pay me that note"
aBut," said Mr. Wakefield, "you paid
him all and more than he asked for the
land"
"Yes," said Mr. Davis, "that il true,
