A GHOST SToRY.-The town of Monson,
Mass, has been for some time troubled by
q sappositious visitant from the spirit
world. The ghost was in the form of
black -robed female, some six feet eight
inches tall, and of a singularly gaunt and
forbidding aspect. 1t appeared first to a
youth who was going on his usual tri-
weekly counting expedition, and caused
him to progress some what more celeritous-
~ than usual, and present himself before
his lady-love in a breathless and dishevel
led condition. A quarryman was next
accosted and thrown into a state of coma.
The news being noised abroad, the villag-
ers became utterly subdued by fear, and
ventured forth only in bands. The luck
less lover was soon again interviewed by
the disagreeable stranger, and the palpita-
ton of his heart was measurably increased
The woods were searched by trembling
parties; the roads were bushwhacked by
squads of armed men, and enc individual
was 30 nervous that he shot himself while
hunting for the ghost and still no ghost
could be brought to bay. AZ last, in some
way il leaked ont that the celestial in
truder was none other than the brother of
the lovers sweetheart, who took this man
ner of showing his diespprobation of the
cOurtship. WheFeupon, MQnsoI breattles

Tho Game Of Memory.

The game Of memory, as practlced oy
the Oiibways and Northern Indians, has
been found profitable in schools, both ior
recreation and Improvement, as Drancn
of object teaching. The Indian CHIEF OF
teacher, in his rude way, has from twenty
to fifty or more sticks, cut, made sharp, or |
pointed at the larger end, and split at cue
top an inch or two. These sticks are then |
planted around in q circle, q short distance
from each other; then various specimens
of different substances "a single specimen
on each stick at the tOp), are distributed
around the circle in order; beginning on
the right hand of the teacher, and proceed
ing around in the order of numbers, one,
two, three, etc. The indians, or class, are
then allowed to go around the circle slowly
each specimen In the order Of the numbers
one, two, three, and thus around the circle.
This Ia done silently. The sticks, or speci-
mems, are then removed, and placed by the
teacher, and then the class, on going around
a second time, each one in order. is to tell
men is contained in stick number one, two,
three, four, Ave, and so around the whole
circle, if possible. With the Indians the
first specimen will probably be birch bark
to make canoes, the second little tobacco,
| the third the fur of o beaver, the fourth q
bit Of calico, the fifth 2 feather OF par.
| ticular bird, the sixth the bone of some sort
of fish, and SO on, different substances In
the different sticks planted aronnd the cir
Gle. The one who can repeat without mis-
| takes up to the highest number receives the
premium of reward. The consequence is,
the perceptive faculties are called into ex-
ercise, and each individual will soon learn
to discriminate so sharply that they will
be able to track wolf over dry leaves in
the forest as we'll as white man can track
the same animal in the snow. You will
ask, how can they do itf I reply, that
they do it very readily by observationan and
sharp inspection. By first noticing a leaf
with holes in it, the middle hole or holes O
hole or holes, near the central holes. These
two holes they know, by observation, were
made by the toe of the wolf, and they i'm.
mediately stick down a leaf by the first lea
thus marked, and search for second, and
third, and fourth, and SO on, pntting 6
stick at each leaf thus marked. BY these
sticks in q row they find the course thu
wolf was travelling. and follow on till they
find where the animal drank, at a sprin g
perhaps, and they soon discover his del
+ among the rocks or caves near by. By thi
, mode of sharp inspection they become &C
4 quainted with the habits of all the witt
animals, and also gain q knowledge of tn
n different plants and trees, and turn thei
j. vidual welfare. The writer has known
