The Ghost in Hamlet.

The ghost of the elder Hamlet in
marble-this is the audacious work of
Thomas r. Gould, the Boston sculptor,
and the Advertiser thus wildly de-
scribes it
1t is called-or rather we should say
it is-the ''Ghost in Hamlet and it
consists of head, bearded, helmeted
and plumed, chiselled in high relief on
sunk oval set into square. To rep
resent spirit in marble-the idea
seems at first preposterous. And if
one could stop to analyze his impress
sions of this ghost, the first would
probably be one Of quick appreciation
Of the artistic instinct which suggested
the form Of Mr.. Gould's work, form
which, when thus suggested, the mind
at once perceives to be the only one
possible to the sculptor's success with
ssch a subject.
But such thought will come. if at
all late and not early. The first feeling
will be mixture Of awe and wonder.
Here is shadow in marble, yet dis
tinet personality Of keen and varied ex-
preston. 1t is a spirit striving to be-
come an apparition and showing the
strain Of the enaeavor. The eyes not
only transtix the attention-terrible,
far-away eyes, which have looked upon
the unutterable secrets Of the prison
house Of souls; eyes full of the name
less anguish of expiation, yet terrible
in their demand for Vengeance upon the
living. (.
As one looks longer the piteousnes
of the whole expression grows. especi-
ely again in the wonderful eyes; the
oountenance, grim and 'sperturbed. as
it is, is seen to be more in sorrow than
in anger" and even the dread frown
seems tempered by the love and longing
which led the father to seek his only
son. In every line and aspect the head
is most majestic and kingly, and by
some subtle skill, the effect of paleness,
as required by the text of Shakespeare,
seems to be impaired to the wasted
cheeks. Viewed from different points
these various expressions become by
turns conspicuous.
With his right side in shadow the
face is more grievous and wasted, be-
traying the seattle Of purgatorial fire.
With his left side in shadow the brows
bend in menace, the eyes are troubled,
the diaphanous and palpitating nostrils
''scent the morning air. the beard
shuts down over a portentous secret,
while undulations and points of shadow
in the cheek that takes the light, be-
trayiAg the action of the concealed
mouth, manifest fathers yearning.
Now let him face the light and instantly
"the aparition comes' right through
the oval toward you; the eyes are keen
and clear. the beard and plumes vanish
into the oval and the face becomes that
Of a living spirit, pure and cold as
NOW thrlce-sifted bY the frozen wind:

FOURTH OF JULY ODE.
By RALPH WALDO EMERSON.

Oh, tenderly the naughty day
Fills his blue urn with fire;
One morn is in the mighty heaven,
And one in our desire.
The cannon boons from town to town,
Our pulses are not less;
The joy-bells chime their tidines down,
Which chiidEel's voices bless.
For he that flung the broad blue 6eld
Ger nantling land and sea.
One-third part of the sky unrolled
For the banner of tie free.
United Statest the ages plead
Present aud past, ia under@sensg--,
Go, put your creed into your deed,
Nor speak with double tongue
For sea and land don't understand,
Nor skies without.a trown,
See rights for which the one hand fights
By the either cloven down.
Be just at home, then reach beyond
Your charter DER the sea-: =,
And make the broad Atlantic pond
A terry Set the tree.
And, henoeforth, there shall he no chain.
Save underneath the sea;
The wives shall murmur through the main
Sweet.songs Of liberty.
The conscious stars accord above,
The waters wild below,
And under, through the cable wove,
Herfery serrands go.
For He that worketh high and wise,
Nor pauses in his plan,
Will take the sun out of .the-skies
Ere freedom out Of man.
" Yea, let all good things await
Him who cares not to be great
But rs lie saves or serves.the State;
The path.ot duty was. the y.to glory"
Such WAS he; his work was done;
But while the races of mankind endure
Let his great example stand
Colossal, seen of every land;
And keep the soldier firm, the statesman
pure,
Till in the lands, through all human story
| The path of dury be the way to glory"

The Phonetic system Of spelling.

Ac FnOnet1c system OF Spelling.
At recent meeting of the American
Pathological Association, Prof. March.
OF Lafayette College, read new paper
on the necessity and feasibility of intro
duclng phonetic system of spelling in
to English. Comparatively few people
will agree with him as to either, although
probably no one will deny that the pre-
sent method or want of method in
spelling English words is Objectionable.
Prof. March has, however, never con-
sidered some of the effects which would
be produced by sudden change Of the
kind ne advocates. The majority Of.
American humorists would be derived
OF their only weapon and made intoler-
ably dull. The wit of bad spelling de-
Ponds IN fact on its near approach to
phonetic forms, and if ali the world
adopted the system it would no longer
be funny. But then there is the com
pensatlon that in few years it might
possibly be considered an indication Of
VII for an author to spell words correct
y N accordance with the present sys-
tenn.

This is the way the merchants and

"A Boston paper says that a move

trolling the nomination and election Of
members of the next Legislature on the
tunnel question. meets with great sue
cess. Already thousands are commit.
ted to its purpose, and 1t seems likely
to succeed in debating the character OF
legislation on this issue. 1t is their
avowed purpose to oppose all who will
not favor a new and independent

John Warner, the horse thief who
broke Jail here last April, and who was
recaptured few weeks since, is proba-
bly, the greatest expert with false KEYS

HIM locked i'll a cell over night, and as;

can t be done, and it is only by the
strlctest vigilance and watchfulness
that Sheriff Peterson is able to keep
him from delivering the institution Of
every rogue in it. If the sheriff puts
the shackles on Warner and passes out,
1t is no uncommon thing to find them
hanging up or on the floor when he re-
enters, be the time ever so short. Cell
locks are no greater obstacle to his,
egress than door fastened with tow
string, for not unfrequently does he un-
lock his cell fastenings in the night and
promenade about the main hall, and
then pass into his quarters again and
lock the door after him. These ex-
ploits are Of frequent occurrence, and
yet Sheriff Peterson says he has not
been able, after days Of most scrutiniz-
ing search of prisoners and of every pos
sible hiding place in the cells and hall.
to discover any implements with which
it would be possible to perform these
slight-of-hand tricks, with the excep-
ton of small brass key made from a
suspender buckle. This was found
secreted in Warmers boot leg between
the strap and the leather, and is so
small as to make it appear almost in
credible that it would be of any service
as means Of locking and unlocking
shacklcs and cell doors. But Warner
undoubtedly has other implements at.
hand, as since the miniature key was.
secured the same tricks have been re-
peated, and if this dextreus thief don't
scale the walls again before the next
term of court it will be no fault Of his.
Sheriff Peterson in the meantime will
need to keep an eye to the windward.

bearing upon their unsullied whiteness no
trace Of the soil from which it was fed and
nourished, it grew most fair and lovely.

glory had departed, and the delicate leaves
grew withered and yellow, it futtered, leaf
after leaf to the ground, and perished ut

with vivid coloring. Other fragrance filled
the Summer air, distilled from thousand
odorous petals. Only the rose tree mourned
the withered flower that crowned its life
with perfectness, and filed its days with
glory and rejoicing. Only the forsaken
stalk remembered the stately grace and
loveliness that reigned in proud supremacy
so brief time, aud was forgotten by all
else. Aud each fresh, dewy morning saw
the rose tree bathed iu tears of memory and
love, the purcst pearls that were ever offered
on affections shrine. And so the white
rose was not wholly lost, nor quite forgotten,
though the passer.by cared not that it had
ever bloomed within the garden, for the
thoughtful few had marked with tender
watchfulness the queenly growth and fair

and the deserted tree, bereit and lonely.

clared that charity is better than either
hope or faith 1; and while you stand amazed
amid these gems Of truth, James comes
along and declares that " by works are ye
saved !" Now these are not contradicting
voices, but harmonious tones. Each one
