A Ghost Story.

The only true ghost story l know
is the story of Choker's ghost
That is q positive fact well attested.
All the neighbors saw all that was
to be seen. All the neighbors saw
how it was done; and as it is the
story of Choker's ghost it could not
have begun until Choker died.
"Old Choker" he had been called
for a good many years--before he
actually was old, I suppose-but he
was a very queer fellow, q man
without a relative or friend, and
who seemed to want none.
He was a very mysterious man,
too. He had a wooden leg, and no
one knew how he came by it.
He had q patch over one eye,
and no one could tell why he al
ways wore it.
He had a rusty brown wig, and
there was no man intimate enough
to know whether he had adopted it
because he was gray.
He had a deposit In the bank,
and no one knew how he earned all
the money.
He came Q stranger to Grabtown
and bought house and little farm
there, giving his name as Guy
Choker.
That was all that any one knew
about him, except that he always
had the best crops to be seen for
miles around.
He never went to church, and
never to neighbor.
No one knew anything against
him, and as they knew nothing,
they suspected great deal; and
when at last he was found dead
one morning, all the bottled mp GU
riosity popped out as champagne
does when it is uncorked.
Everybody went to see him whore
he lay.
Everybody attended the coron-
er's inquest, and everybody went
to the funeral.
II was decided that he died Of
apoplexy.
There was no relative to see him,
but there would be plenty left to
pay for the funeral. 90 there was no
difficulty about that. "
The clergyman said . doubtful
sort Of word for him, and a. he was
dead no one oontradictsd II.
And Peggy Kinder, Who said she

God Grant Me This.

God Grant Me This.
In that hushed hour when DER my lifelcss clay
The waiting angels whisper "it Ia DONE"
And lead me toward the gates Of endless day,
or all my prayers pray God grant this one;
That may 20 so far, earth's bitter blame
VIII die In silence ERE IL comes 70 me,
And no sharp twanginss sound about my name,
Tearing my soul with inward agony.
Give me place wherein may forget
The cruelties which broke from careless lips,
And bioodless murders deep in cold eyes set,
And things which torture more than scourge ol
whip.
Then in the stiffness let me shut my eyes,
And sleep until pains memories die away,
And forget how lips shape to sighs
And all the moans which human hearts must say
Then when waken with my face made light,
And soul unb ent from accidents Of pain,
Refreshed IN life, white souled and clear Of sight
Give loves lost darlings all 10 me again.
1t will be blessedness to love and feel
Such utter afiuencc Of light and JOY
That not shadow with the light can steal,
Or tremulous sorrow sable robed destroy.
In that sweet time the roses Of delight
viii never mingle with secrcted thorns,
But love will be so passionless and white
It viii not fruit in jealousies aud scorns.
What bitter lessons one must learn 70 say,
With stony eyes and steady patient mouth,
Smile through the heat Of many fiery day
And dream Of well springs in land Of drouth.
But in the golden some time when this life
Has blossomed in fair fullncss, we shall know
Love il of God, and not with discord rife,
And makes all souls aspire, endeavor, grow.

A short time ago, a young man
in one of our Western cities called
upon his sweetheart, who wore an
Elizabethan ruff.
Expecting his coming, she had
dressed for the occasion, and her
ruff, stiff as an unrestricted use of
satin-starch gloss could make It,
was Of the most stunning character.
The lover came at the orthodox
time, and was ushered into the
parlor, where the enchanting
maiden and her father and mother
were seated. He was cordially re-
ceived, and the evening passed
pleasantly, although the old folks
sat up q good deal longer than the
youngsters thought necessary. FL
nally they went to bed, and the
twain were left alone.
After q certain amount Of pre-
liminary bashfulness, the maiden
assented to her lovers request for
a kiss. He essayed to take II, but
was met at every point by q brist-
ling wall Of tarlatan and starch.
He came up to her in front, and
was gouged in each eye. He
sidled up to her, and the right
hand prong cut one Of his ears half
of. He attempted to reach the
prize over her shoulder, and .
checaur de f-ise of lace tickled bis
nose till he was obliged to take .
seat and sneeze.
Then the maiden came 10 the
rescue, and held down one side Of
the provoking ruff, and again the
lover advanced. Just as he had all
but reached her blooming cheek,
the damsel lost her grip, and the
razor-like decoration few up with
q force that took an "under bit out
Of his right ear" -
Then he got mad then she got
mad I; then they both got mad, and
an anticipated wedding has como

in the house to take care OF 1t.
She knew old Choker very well
having done his washing for him
for Ave years.
That night, the weather being
chilly spring weather, she made NJ
q good tire in the kitchen and slept
on an old lounge there.
Once she woke up in the night
and thought she heard the clump
clump of wooden leg overhead
but though she felt chill run W
her back at the time, she made NJ
her mind it was all nonsense, and
went to sleep again.
At six she was up and put more
coal on the fire, and was filling the
kettle, when positively-no fancy
about it this time-she did hear
that clump, clump again across tht
room up stairs half dozen times
then went down stairs.
The sound of Choker's wooden
leg, and nothing else; and as she
turned about, shaking and trembl.
ing, she saw old Choker himself al
the door, in his big lowered dress
ing-gown, with the black patch
over his eye, and the brown wig on
"The Lord have mercy upon us,
cried Peggy.
Then Choker nodded cheerfully
and said:
Breakfast ready yet 7" and she
grew bewildered.
T've been having a horrid dream,
sir" she said, getting away from
the figure though, as she spoke ;
sand it is as natural as life. !
dreamed you were dead, sir. Ibid,
indeed; and buried and all. !
beg pardon, sir, but it was so natur-
al that you skeer me-"
"Did II" said old Choker. "Why,
bless ye, we must all die"
ayes, sir" said Peggy.
"And all be buried, too," replied
old Choker.
"Only all Of us won't stay bur-
ied," said Choker, putting his fin
gers to his nose.
And at that Peggy, never waiting
for her bonnet, bolted out of the
house, and came tumbling into her
daughters half an hour after, shak-
ing with fright, and vowing she
had seen Crocker's ghost.
The daughter was nearly as
much frightened as the mother,
and the news spread, but nobody
believed it.
At least everyone said it was
ridiculous and that Peggy must
have been drinking.
She did drink more than was
good for her, now and then; and
at last the undertaken himself, ac-
companied by the Coroner--the
two men of the village who were
supposed to be the least nervous on
the subject Of ghosts, and beside
who had a thorough knowledge OF
the matter of Choker's death and
burial, went to the house together,
accompanied by q train Of sd-
mirers who kept a respectful dis
tance as they knocked At the door.
There was no answer to the first
knock, but having knocked again,
clump, clump came q wooden leg
across the passage, and there in the
door stood old Cboker.
Everyone knew him.
He wore his old dressing-gown,
he had the black patch over his
eye. and his wig set . little on one
side - usual.

..nya the Money Goes.

An attractive series OF articles on
Russia, although %unfriendly in tone, is
now being printed in the Pail Mail
Gazette, Of London. That interesting
subjectnow-the rmy-hasjustbee con-
sidered. The corruption the lis thus
amusingly described : "The money
that is SET down in the estimates for the
keep of a regiment is amply sufficient if
it reached its destination +; but a part
somehow sticks in tho war Office; another
lump gets lost between the fingers of the
general commanding the division the
brigade general next mislays a portion ;
finally the colonel comes, who thinks he
should be a zany if he did not levy his
due commission upon the remainder.
The major flches all he can, because he
does not get his pay regularly the cap
tain follows suit, and the sergeant-maior
plays the same card. The surgeon who
directs the infrmary sends in a long bill
for medicines, and gives his patients
vodki, which cures them quite as well.
The quartermaster pockets the money
that should go to mend the drains +; the
adjutant gets a bonus from the contract:
ors who supply rotten wheat and tainted
meat. Meanwhile. the Russian soldier
is not disconnected in the midst of his
filth and hardships. He plods on like
one who is undergoing mans fated lot,
and in wal he fights like a hero for the
men who plumber him."

Five Bullets in His Head.

A few weeks ago the Enquirer chroni.
cled the fact that a young man named
George Wiedemer, who lived with his
parents near the corner of Broadway
and Woodward street, made a desperate
attempt to commit suicide by shooting
five balls from a pistol into his head.
Contrary to the expectations of his family
and the attending physicians, the young
man is likely to recover. Neither ball
penetrated the brain, although the skull
was fractured. Four of them are still
lodged under the scalp, having traversed
the skull to the rear portion of the head,
where they yet remain. One of them
has been extracted. The only danger
that the wounds may prove mortalis that
the bones Of the head may decay. In
this event death would be certain, though
slow. Should this not occur the unpre-
cedented spectacle would be afforded OF
a man living after receiving the contents
of five pistol-barrels in his head. The
weapon was held by the would-be sui.
eide in such q manner that the shots took
effect in the frontal bone, glancing off,
and taking refuge under the scalp. II
was certainly a providential escape from
death, and one that is little less than

EgYnt in New York.

The New York World says that the
Khedive of Egypt has signi6ed his will
ingness to present to the city of New
York, upon proper application, the twin
"Needle, the sister-obelisk of that pre-
scented and sent to England. This shaft
stands upon the sea-shore, a monolith of
the granite of Syene, seventy feet in
height, and is a familiar landmark to all
travellers who have visited Alexandria,
Egypt. The hieroglyphics on its sea-
ward face have been partly efaced by
the action of the salt wind and spray
during more than 1900 years, and its
base IS SO much worn and mutilated,
that it is likely to be Frustrated by a
Mediterranean cyclone at some future
day. It is Of the same age as the Eng
lish obehsk- that of Thothmes Ill.
which gives it an antiquity Of 3,400
years. The English contractors, who
are now conveying the latter to London.
are said to have offered to transport the
khedive's gift to New York, and to erect
it in any location which may be chosen,
for the sum of 800, 600, taking upon
themselves the whole risk OF the enter
prise.
