A GHOSTLY WARNING.

\ CALL it a ghostly warning because,
L though it came not in the night
watches, in faraway tones, from the lips
of filmy apparition, it did come to me
in the name of dear friend long since
gone to the Unknown Land.
In the spring of 1875, visited New
York, and wishing to be entirely free
for the business which necessitated
my presence there, instead of going to
the house of relative, engaged board in
convenient locality under the same roof
with an acquaintance. Excepting this
lady, one friend and cousin, no one to
whom was known was, during the
first week, aware that was in the city.
This cousin, a very favorite one, then
chanced to be in America for few weeks,
having left his wife and family tempo
rarily alone in their home in Paris. AS
G-'s evenings hung rather heavily
on his hands while away from his fami-
ly, to which he was always devoted, he
was good enough to enliven by his well
come presence many of mine, which
otherwise would have been as dull as
evenings in a boarding-house full of
strangers must be.
One evening, perhaps the third or
fourth after my arrival, came the warn
ing, delivered in very.straightforward,
prosaic, unghostly way by the letter-car-
rier. One always examines the outside
of letter to see whom it is from, prob
ably for the same reason that leads one
to listen to what others say about ones
friends before hearing what these have
to say for themselves. I looked at the
letter curiously. 1t was post marked in
the city at five O'Clock of the previous
afternoon, yet it was directed in hand
had never expected to see again save
when looked with fearful eyes over a
bundle of yellow old letters tied up care
fully in a corner of my desk at home. 1t
was curious, 1 thought, that this rather
peculiar chirography should be duplica-
ted. Then l observed, with start, that
the middle name in the direction was
not that which belongs to me, but one
which had adopted for two or three
years of my childhood, preferring it to
the family name which my parents gave
me. had outgrown the whim and re-
turned to my baptismal name, but the
friend referred to always took a sort OF
pleasure in reminding me of this and
several other childish fancies which we
had held in common. No one now liv-
ing, so far as 1 was aware, SO much as
knew that had signed the name 1 now
saw before me.
DEAREST E.: 1t is sometimes
permitted to us who have already step.
ped into the light to give words of com.
fort or of warning to those who still
wander in darkness. My word to you
now is one of warning.
"One who is very dear to you is about
to trust his life to the treacherous deep
If he does so he will be lost. Upon you
rests the responsibility. Prevent hin
from recrossing the ocean if you value
his life.
81 am now, as of yore, ever lovingly
yours, ANNIE M. H.

For The TIMES,
GOLDEN ROD AND LIFE EVERLASTING

o, lonely fields of golden rod,
And pearly life-everlasting, you,
When white with frost, or moist with dew,
How many vanished year I've trod!
Each Autumn by the hand of God,
Benefcent, adorned anew,
Beneath sky as soft a nd blue
AS ever bent o'er earthly sod.
When sing the birds, the bees may WOO
Flowers that more brightly CLEAN and nod
But none so charm sad Memory's view
AS life-everlasting's pearly hue,
And magic of the golden.rod--
SO, lonely fields, dote on you.
