II Russian Ghost .St0y.U,

In certain village-so the story goes
there was girl who hated work but loved
gossip. So she never spun herself but
used to invite the other girls to her house
where she feasted them and they spun for
her. During one of these spinning feasts
dispute arose as to which of the party
was the boidest.
Pm not afraid of anything" said the
Iazy-bOnes.
''Well, then" said the spimers, elf
you're not afraid, go through the grave
yard into the church, take down the Holy
Picture from the door, and bring it here. :"
Every well," said she; ''rIl bring it,
only each of you must spin me a distaff
FULL
Well, she went to the church. took down
tho picture, and brought it home with her
But then the picture had to be taken back
again, and the midnight had arrived.
Who was to take it?
500 on spinning, you girls said the
lazy-bone. ''pll,take it back myself Pm
not afraid of anything ~
So she went back to the church and re-
placed the picture. AS she passed through
the graveyard on her return, she saw q
tomb. 1t was moonlight night, and
everything was visible. She went up to
the corpse and pulled its shroud off. dts
hour for stirring hadn't arrived, perhaps
Then she went home carrying the shrOud
with her.
After supper, when everybody had gone
to bed, all of a sudden the corpse tapped
at the window saying. ''Glve me my
shroud give me my shroud ~ The other
girls We're frightened out of their wits.
But the laZy-bOneS took the shruud opened
the window, and said:
There, take it -
'.No," replied the corpse, 'take it to the
place you took it from
Just then a cock crowed, and the corpse
vanished.
Next night, at the same hour, after all
the spinners had gone to their own homes,
the corpse came again, tapped at the win
dow, and said
''Give me my shroud ~
Well, the girls father and mother OPEN
ed the window and offered the corpse its
shroud, but it cried
''No Let her carry it back to the place
she took it FROM
Just then the cock began to crow-the
corpse disappeared Well next day they
sent for the priest and told him the whole
story, and implored him to help them
The priest reflected awhile, then told the
girl to come to mass the next day So in
the morning she went TO mass The ser
vice begun. Numbers of people came II
it. But just as they were going 20 sing
the ''CherJIbiTn Song" terrible whirlwind
"rO1o And iG caught zap Cne gITI the
air, and then flung her down on the ground.
And straightway disappeared from sight
nothing was ever found of her except her
black hair.

a DANDY city chap spending few weeks
III this county with farmer friend, asked
to be permitted to abstract the lacteal
fluid from the bovine group at eventide. :"
AS soon as the farmer found out that all
he wanted was to milk the COWS some
night, he cheerfully assented, gave him a
kicking COW to begin on, and with other
members Of his family seated himself on
the barn yard fence to the fun. Hard
ly hadsthe tight pantalooned chap began
to pull on the peculiar natural appendages
which all who desire to milk must mani
pulate, Except milkmen who live near a

and saw the ''what-is-it'' at her side.-
Fetching him wipe in the eyes with her
tail, she at the same time projected her
hind foot with lightning rapidity, and
while the mixer was balancing on his ear
in brown mud-puddle the sportive cow
sent the milk pail spinning after him.

A PROUD MANS BOEEs.-Of all the
vices which disfgure the human soul, not
one is more foolish than pride. Its folly
was practically illustrated by that surely
old cynic, Diogenes who while examining
a heap of bones, was accosted by Alexan-
der the Great.
''What are you looking forP" asked the
proud monarch.
''For the bones of your father, but I
cannot distinguish them from those of the
slaves, " replied philosophe.
If the cynic was rude, he was also right
In the end the king and the slaves are
alike. AS both come alike naked into the
world, SO both leave it alike naked Both
come and go with nothing. How foolish
then for the one to lord it, over the other
during the brief interval between the era
die and the grave The proudest man on
earth is only dust. Why should we despise
his fellows who are made of the same des-
tiny. Consider this proud heart and
take lessons OF Christ, who was meek and
lowly in heart

THREE CHEERS FOR THE PREAouER.-

THREE CHEERS FOR THE PREACHER.
At a certain place on a Methodist circuit
in this county, an enterprising preacher
stopped for a week last winter, to stir up
some religious interest. Other veteran
preachers had been there before him, but
their efforts had been unavailing IN the
direction of revival. The point was con-
sidered as lost to religious instruction or
conversion. But the new preacher pitch
ed in with much zeal. He held meetings
every night for a week, preached long and
strong; got his mourners' bench ready.
and called upon seekers of religion, but
none appeared. Night after he appealed
to them to seek salvation, but, though the
congregations were large, none appeared
at she mournerS' benches. The meetings
were kept up for week, and finally the
! preacher got discouraged. But he said he
| would try it one more night. That night
came, and with it big congregation. The
! preacher was eloquent, and wound up with
an exhortation inviting persons forward
! to the seekers benches. Not one rose.
| The preacher waited aud pleaded, but no
! one moved Finally he said he would
! have to abandon his effort that he had
tried hard to produce conviction, but no
one was moved. He had now made his
last appeal, and after few mild kind
words, he sat down. At this juncture
tall son of the soil arose andssaid that the
preacher had been working hard, and had
lahored faithfully with them, and now, as
token of their appreciation and respect
for HIM, he moved that the congregation
give the preacher three cheers, which was
carried.-IrOnton { o. Register.

" send you q leaf from the dear old maple
Tree which stands nearest the College building;
from which you will derive some pleasure.''-
Extract from friends letter.
A leaf, a leaf from maple tree!
oh, wha: is leaf like that to me?
Is it yellow, or brown, or fresh and green I?
'Tis Mt best but a trifie to me, ween.
All, no ah, no It's a book indeed,
To me, of earliest thought and creed;
OF memories sweet and of songs low-sung
In the bright, glad days, when 1 was young;
OF face all smiles, of heart full warm
OF soul unwracked by sins alarm
Glad days! glad days where be ye now?
Come, shed your light on my care-marked
brow;
Come, tell me again of the hopes ahead:
But, ah!--I remember-those hopes are deadi
Aye, crushed are they; and the snow will
fall,
And deep forever will hide them all
You speak of pleasure, and tell me true
OF feelings sacred to me and you;
OF words once uttered, and vows once made,
Beneath that beautiful naples shade.
Ah. yes ah, yes but my heart has turned;
For the future it hath i'll silence yearned
And the maple tree aud the bright, green
grass,
long had forgotten-alasi alas,
But, was it, you ask, for this 1 prayed,
AS together we strolled on the grassy glade?
Remember your VOWS thro' coming years.
But those vows, thro' waiting and bitter
tears. ..
Are blotted away, and the void Is there,
The haunt of a demon they call despair.
But fear not, friend, tho my heart be cold,
I cannot forget the days of old.
Tho the boughs be stripped and the maple
bare
I Oft III spirit will meet thee there;
And love to listen, tho never to hear,
Thy voice of music upon my ear.

THE HIGHEST BRIDGE IN THE WOBLD.-
The Baltimore Bridge Company, the Pres
ident of which, Colonel G. Shalor Smith,
so well known to all our citizens, has just
obtained Il crowning triumph-the bridg-
ing of a mighty chasm in the heart of the
Andes Mountains.
The VeI1ugas ViadAct is on the Lima
and Oroya Railroad, in the Andes of Peru.
The structure is remarkable for being the
highest of the kind in the world, and for
surprising all others of the same class in
its perfect system of bracing and cOnnec-
tionS. The yiaduct crosses q mountain
torrent called the Ague dc Verugas, in
a wild and picturesque locality IL, 900 feet
above the level of the sea- The structure
consists Of four deck spans of the Fink
type of truss, three of which are 1f0 feet
long, and one, the central span 125 feet
long. The spans rest on piers built OF
wrought-iron columns. The piers are fifty
feet long by fifteen feet wide on top
There being three piers, the total length
of the viaduct is SO feet. The piers are
the principal feature of interest and are
respectively 145 feet, 252 feet and 1877
feet high. Each pier consists of twelve
legs, which in plan form reCtangle. The
legs are composed of q series of wrought
iron SiX-segment columns, in length OF
twenty-five feet. connections being made
by cast-iron joint-bo1es having lemons on
each end running into the column. The
lemons and the face of casting against
which the columns bears are machine
dressed, so as to obtain an accurate fit and
! perfect bearing surface. The columns
! have an exterior diameter of twelve inches.
| Compared with other works Of = similar
| type, such as the Crumlin viadUct, which
| has hitherto borne off the palm, it Is far
| ahead, both in magnitude and perfection
