A GHOST STORY,


Lord Brougham tells the following
ghost story at the expense Of his faith.
er:
Con all such subjects my father
was very scept;cal He was fond Of
telling a story in which he had been
an actor, and as he used to say, in
which his unbelieving obstinacy had
been the means OF dernolishing what
would have made very pretty ghost
story. He had been dining in Dean s
Yard, Westminster, with party of
young men, one of whom was his in
innate friend. Mr.. Calme I here was
talk abous the-death of Mrs Might
ingale, who had recently died under
some melancholy circumstances, and
had been hurried in the Abbey
Sume one offered to bet that no one of
those present would 90 down into the
grave and drive nail into til, coffin.
Calmel accepted the wager, only stip-
ulating that he mi ght have lantern.
He was accordingly let into the Ca
thcdral by door out of the cloisters,
and there LETT to himself. The party,
after waiting an hour or more for Cal
mel. began 10 think something had
happened to him, and that he ought to
be looked alter; so my father and two
or three more got light aud went to
the grave, a. the bottom of which lay
the apparently dead body of Mr.. Cal
mel. He was quietly transported to
the prebend's dining-room. and recov.
cred from his lainting fit. AS soon as
he could find his t.rYue, he said, well
| have won my wager, and you will
find the nail i'll the coffin; but by Jove!
the lady rose up, laid hold Of ME, and
pulled lie down before could scram-
ole out of the grave Calmel stuck
to his story amid the scotiing of his
frie ds; au'l the ghost OF Mrs. Night.
ingalc would have been all over town
but for my fathers obstinate increduli.
ty. Nothing would satisfy him but an
ocular inspection OF the grave and
coffin; aud so, getting light, he and
some OF the party returned to the
grave. There, sure enough, was the
nail well driven into the coffin; but
hard fixed by it was bit of Mr.. Cal
mePs coat-tail So there was an end
of Mrs. Nightingale's ghost. This
grave afterward became remarkable
for very beautiful piece of sculpture,
by some celebrated artist, represent
ing Mr.. Nightingale vainly attempting
to ward from his dyi.g wife the dart
of death"

sagaoity CT Dogs.


Mr.. Snapp, a blacksmith, owns two
dogs one terrier, four or FIVE years
old. the other halt shepherd and half
cur, about twelve or fifteen years old,
and onsequently very feeble. .
In the Winter, between the ,hotirs
of breakfast and dinper. and dinner
and supper, these Two dogs may al
WAYS be seen perched up Just far
enough from Snaps forge to escape
the sparks, but still near enough to
keep warm. As soon as the hour for
dinner cemes-which they know even
better than the apprentices in the shop;
they are both off at full run, each
! aiming to secure place behind the
warm kitchen stove, which is only
large enough Tor one dog at time
Now, the terrier being the most ac-
tive, almost always gains the coveted
place, leaving the poor old dog ont in
the cold. Now comes the curious part
of my story. -.aes-.s -..
The old dog being thus left out in
TIE cold one bitter day, put himself
in a thinking attitude, and set his wits
to work to devise some means by
which he could get the terrier out of
the coveted place. All at once an
idea seemed to strike him. Taking
advantage of the good watch dog
qualities of the terrier he made teint
toward the garden, barking iuriously,
as if some one was intruding at that
point. when, true to his nature. out
popped the terrier, not to make feint,
but to make a pell-meD rush to the
extreme end of the garden, pushing the
ol schemlr just outside the kitchcp
door, who no sooner saw the terrier
enter the garden, put behind the warm
kitchen stove, curled himself up, and
waited, with q cunning twinkle in his
eye, for his young friend, who no soon
er made his appearance, and seeing
the situation, man he tried exactly
the same strategem with the old dog,
with as little success as though he had
tried to fly. Finding that to fail SC
signally, he, in turn, put his wits tc
work.
After disappearing in the gar,ier
for few minutes, he made his tip
pearance right in front o the kitchen
door, with large bone in his mouth
and tet to work on it as if he was en-
joying it hugely.
Now what dog could resist such
tempting sight? BIT least the old fei'
low behind the door could not, !. ia
plain, for sneaking cautiously out Of
his snug retreat, he made a sudden
dash for the coveted bone, which he
secured very easily to the surprise "i
all for a few moments only, as the
mystery was soon cidared up; for no
sooner had h, possessed himself of
what he soon found to be nothing but
all old dry bone they both had gnawed
hundred Zines, than the young ras--
cal had secured the good, warm re-
treat behind the stove-which he Ger
tuinly deserved after displaying SO
much cunning--Icaving the poor old
fellow out again iu the cold, there to
contemplate the old proverb - 1t
takes thief to catch a thief. .'-Er

False Friends.

One of the most troublesome diff
sire to relinqui5h bad habit, is found
in the obstacles which are thrown in
their way by former companions. -
E.en those who style themselves
friends, appear to take strange pleas
ure in defeating reform, or in perpet-
uating habits o. intemperance There
are some persons whose boast it is,
that they can get intoxicated with
impunity- They are not made abso-
lutely helpless or ridiculously foolish
by their potations. In the slang of
tile pot house, they are said 10 be able
to carry mors" than other men.
Their pride seems to be in tempting
the weak to a trial Of strength i'll this
not very elevated direction.
But. whether it be strength to live
in such condition of constant stupid
;ty that the force of the whisky can
go no iurther in stupefying them, is
hardly question. he haEitual hard
drinker has wasted his strength, and
what would intoxicate another man is
necessary TO him to bring his mental
and bodily faculties up TO working or
der. If this be strength it is certainly
strength more closely allied to weak
ness than great wit to madness. The
man who tancies he can take huge po-
tatious with impunity is really under
Continual punishmenL--a prisoner for
lie. And it is the worst of cruelty
and wicke. lness in him to strive to re-
duce others, and those, too, for whom
he protesses friendship, to the same
condition.
We have often been shocked and
p ,ined at the importantly with which
many people thoughtlessly, it not ma
liciously. press drink upon those who
would be glad to let it alone Taunt
ing, ridicule and every form Of persua-
sion are employed to prevent the
reformation OF strugglig men, who are
conscious OF their weakness, and would
be heartily glad to rise above it
GOOD fellowship" as it is called, is
the worst kind of bal fellowship. He
is little better, morally, than Il mur-
derer, who forces intoxicating drinks
upon reluctant lips; or who, while the
will to refrain needs support, throws
his influence upon the side OF tempta-
tion.
The poor inebriate, who has not
credit to procure dinner, finds no
difficulty in getting a drink. Men
who would refuse him sixpence for
bread. or who would stare if lie asked
a small loan for his necessities, will
furnish a dram without the asking,
and even urge it upon him Thus We
see penniless drunt ards continually
under the influence OF liquor; and
men without a cent consuming drink,
the price Of which would support a
family Whoever knows his own in
FIRMLY ought TO regard the man who
ministers to it as an enemy; and if
he canno. preserve the semblauce of
friendship at less price than his own
happiness and respectability, cast of
the pretended claims of that friendship
at once and forever The man who
thinks he can indulge, is no fit COM
panion for him who knows that he
cannot -E1.
