nD- A man at Lebanon, ILL.,, heard strange
and fitful noises in his house until he could
stand it no longer, and went cropping about in
the darkness, compelled as if it were by an
unseen presence. In a dark, damp passage
way he was touched on the nose by cold
clammy finger. He shot twice at the invisi-
BILE thing-lights were brought, and two bull
let holes through the family tea-kettle, which
was swaying in the wind, showed that he had
laid out the ghost, and also made a soldering
bill of twenty-five cents.

h9r The surest road to poverty is to hoard
up treasure. The surest way to wealth is to
bestow literally where it is most needed. The
miser is the poorest man on earth; the most
liberal soul is the most wealthy. If, therefore,
you would be rich, do not aim at riches, but
simply use what you already possess for the
greatest possible good to the greatest possible
number

to please the old lady; but give me the heft
ont in Free Will Baptist"

Door, should have known it from his own
words. Who would have talked about put
ting pieces upon old garments, or about sweep

like them, knew that he knew exactly all
about them, and that made them sweet to me.

should be literally maintained and
fostered by the State. 1t is peculiarly
incumbent upon the General Assem-
bly, to provide ample means for the
comfort and education of these or
phan bencfoiaries, as none of the
municipal orphan asylums, supported
BY our city corporations or endowed
by private charity, admit colored or
plans to the enjoyment of their
benefits. The report of the Board of
Trustees shows that the institution
has been greatly embarrassed during
the past fiscal year. and that large
part of the necessary food, clothing
and fuel has been obtained on credit,
at high rates Of interest The Gener-
al Assembly appropriated $4,000 for
the asylum for the fiscal year ending
OctoIe2 81, 1872, but of that amount,
only $4,000 has been paid at the State
Treasury, leaving an unpaid balance
of Sll 300. There are ninety. chill
dren in the asylum of scholastic age,
and now under instruction. The very
skillful and excellent Principal. Miss
J. B. Weston, reports that they have
made rapid and commendabe progress
in arithmetic history and geography,
and in the analysis of English words
and composition. The admirable
system Of "object teaching" has been
introduced into the school, but on a
very limited scale however, for want
of the necessary apparatus. By rea-
son Of the non-ability of the State to
pay the appropriation, the pupils have
not even been suppli4 with the requi-
red text books. l heartily commend
this asylum to your generous support,
and earnestly trust That such an ap-
preparation will be made therefor as
will be fully adequate to maintain it
more creditably than heretofore.
