receiving any benefit from any Of them, until
was persuaded to try Vegetinc. Before had

HoME1Y G1RLs-How did that homcly wo-
man contrive to get married is not unfre-
quently remarked of some good domestic
creature whom her husband regards as the
apple of his eyes, and in whose plain face he
sees something better than beauty. Pretty
girls who are vain of their charms are rather
prone to make observations of this kind and
conscious of the fact that flowers of loveliness
are often left to pine on the stem, while weeds
of homeliness go off readily, is no doubt in
many cases the bottom of the sneering ques-
ton. The truth is, that most men prefer
homeliness and amiability to beauty and ca
price. Handsome women are sometimes very
hard to please. They are apt to overvalue
themselves, and in waiting for an immense bid
occasionally overstep the market. Their plain,
sisters on the contrary, aware of their personal
deficiencies, generally lay themselves out to
produce an agreeable impression, and in most
instances, succeed. They don't aspire to cap
ture paragons with princely fortunes, but are
willing to take anything respectable.

| A MASSACHUSETTS GHOST STORY EXPLAIN
ED.-A correspondent at Monson, who is skep-
tical as to supernatural appearance, has been
quietly investigating the circumstances attend
ing the ghost excitement at that place few
months ago, and has solved the mystery to his
full satisfaction. The story, as he tells it, is
that very young man became enamored last
summer of very fascinating maiden residing
about mile from the village, and was accus-
toned to call upon her several times week.
An older brother finding that the youthful
Romeo was causing some gossip by his frequent
attentions, resolved to stop them, and hit upon
the plan of frightening him in the guise OF a
ghost. Knowing that the lad was courageous,
however, he appeared" first to another men,
Der of the family. By strapping broom upon
his back, with the bushy part projecting over
his head, he successfully disguised his height,
and by means of big black dress presented
in the night the appearance of woman about
six feet and eight inches tall. Thus attired, he
secreted himself in the new church, and when
his victim came along, pounccd upon him and
chased him home, where he arrived breathless
with fright,
This incident produced much excitement in
the community, but the intrepid Romeo, undis-
mayed by ghosts, steadfastly continued his Wis
its to the object of his affections The leaven
of fear was working however, and about a
week later the "ghost" accosted and chased
man on his way to the quarry at early day.
break; after which the 5000 inhabitants of
Monson were SO wrought up that even men
were afraid to venture out at night except in
bands But love still conquered fear. The
youngstcr continued his tri-weekly trips, until
one night, while returning home, the frighttul
ghost of which he had heard so much confron-
ted him at a lonely spot in the road The
first impulse was to run, but the ghost ran too.
He walked, and the ghost assumed measured
read and continued uncomfortably near. He
sackcned his pace, and the dreaded being
stalkcd past him, and remained before or be-
hind until he reached home, frightened nearly
to death. The ghost-personator, having. accom-
plished his purpose, thereafter kept his own
counsel, and retired from the business, but the
terrified people of the town saw spectre in
every bush, and the ghost was reported in half
dozen places after he had finally disappeared
from view. The new church was watched for
many night; the woods were searched by
bands of men, who took care to keep together ;
one man was so nervous as to shoot himself
while in search of the ghost, and deadly fear
for time held the whole community.-Spring-

KEEP OUT OF DEBT.-Half the perplcxity,
annoyance and trouble that men have in TINS
world, is in consequence of getting into debt.
1t seems to be natural for some people to buy
and incur obligations without measure, so long
as they can avoid paying ready cash; Give one
of this sort chance to buy on credit, and the
questions of payment are matters that he cares
but little about But what crop of trouble
springs up from the seed of the debt How
many gray hairs it brings, and how often 1t
shortens life-sometimes leading men to COM
NIT suicide or murder. And yet, how easy
il is to keep clear of this terrible monster. !,
Every young man should form fixed
and unalterable determination, before COM
mencing his active business career, not to in
cur one penny of Indebtedness, under any cir
cumstances. Never buy anything, unless you
have The money to pay for it at once. Pay no
attention to splendid opportunities" rare
chances" bargains" and the like 1f Such Soh are
anything that you would like to accept, look
first at your money pile and make the answer Is
depend upon that. Always pay as you 60. II
you are short of money, gauge your demands
accordingly.-Plantation.
