Der OF otherwise shrewd and reliable persons
who believe in and profess TO have seen the
astral element or spirit of departed friends
In this connection the remark of Lucretius
the epicurean, Is interesting: 1.-THE surfaces
or bodies are continually and constantly
thrown of by sort of centrifugal force, and
hence an exact image is often presented to
entire, like the cast skin of the rattlesDake,
or the shell of the chrysalis; and thus the
idea of our absent or departed friends strike
on the mind"
PHILOSOPHY.
Francis Grose, the antiquary i'm
mo-talized by Burns, has summed up
many of the wondrous attributes of ghosts,
in the existence of which he appears
to have been a firm believer: 1.-THE spirit
of person deceased" he writes, lis
either commissioned to return for some
special errand, such as the discovery
of murder, to procure restitution OF lands,
or money unjustly withheld from an orphan
or widow; or, having committed some In
justice whilst living. can not rest till that is
redressed. Sometimes the occasion of spirits
revisiting this world is to inform their heir
in what secret place or private drawer In an
old trunk they had hid the title deeds OF the
estate. Some ghosts of murdered persons,
whose bodies have been secretly buried, can
not be at ease till their bones have been
taken up and deposited in sacred ground,
with all the rights of Christian burial" The
last illustration accords with the experience
OF Gerald Massey, the poet. He was persist
emily haunted by ghost at his house in
Porto Bello, near Edinburgh, until he dug
under the hearthstone, and discovered 6
human skeleton. On being transferred tc
sanctifed ground, Mr.. Massey has alleged
over his signature, the ghost troubled him
no more.

EMPRESS EUGENE.

The Greatest Example of the Instability of
Earthly Grandeur.
London Spectator.I
Once more the Empress Eugene has to
repeat, 81 have been too favorable to war"
Regarded through all her womanhood as one
of the most fortunate among mankind, re-
spected and even liked by her husbands
deadl1est enemies, she has suffered blow at
ter blow; has lost her husband, her throne,
her country; and now her last hope, her
only child, has suffered violent death from
enemies who never heard of him, and in a
cause which was not his own. The heir OF
the Napoleons, the child OF the baptism of
fire." assegaied by Zulus IN South Africal
Scarcely in history or in fiction has there
been q life like that of the Empress Eugene,
for even Josephine, the woman most. like
her, was not stripped OF her children, the
very lad whose untimely death Is now
mourned having been her descendant. She,
of all living women, is the greatest example
of the instability OF earthly grandeur and
the vanity of human hope or expectation.
London Saturday Revlew.l
The empress has drunk to Its dregs the
cup of affection. She has known all the ex-
tremes of human life from the height OF
prosperity to the abyss of adversely. Per-
haps the very highest point of her prosperity
was attained at the moment when her boy
was born. The English alliance had then
been assured, and she and her husband had
been received in London with a welcome
which seemed to show that the coup d etat
had been obliterated from the memory of
the world. The Crimean war had reached
Its triumphant close, and her husband was
preparing to show how magnanlmous he
could be to the vanquished. The Orsini at
tempt, the Italian war, the ill-starred Mexi-
can expedition, the audacities of Cavour
and Bismarck, and the dark day
of Sedan still lay hid in the womb of
the future. The prince imperial seemed
born to great heritage, and the very fact
that the empress had given an heir to the
| crown seemed to make the crown secure.
Now this child of many hopes lies dead in
remote Africa, killed by savages in a tiny
foray, and she Is a widowed, childless exile.
Nor is it only this striking illustration of the
instability of human greatness and these
terrible sorrows of a woman that move the
mind of the English public. The empress
is tenderly regarded in England for her own
sake. She has led here a meek and gentle
| life bearing her SORROWS with dignity and
impotence, stunning all appearance oil
grandeur, and never intrud1ng herself AND
her cause on England. That such mother
should be weeping over the loss of her only
child, that all her hopes should be gone, all
| her affections withered. would awaken the
sympathies of Englishmen even if the i'm
| pressien was not mentally heightened BY
the royal position of the sufferer and by thu
ron ance of her history.

Robert G. Pillow, son of the late General
Pillow, lives on an Arkansas plantation. A
few days ago he and one of the colord men
were out hunting wild hog Pillow had
gun, and the negro had armed himself with
a pint bottle of whisky. The hog was shot,
and Just as Pillow went up to the writhing
animal an immese cotton mouth" snake,
whose bite is fatal as that OF a rattlesnake,
fastened its fangs on the cali of his leg. Pill
low turned to his companion and remarked !:
II think I'll try little of that whisky now"
whisky being considered remedy. He
poured every drop down his throat. Then
he rapidly walked to the house, half mile
distant, where he drank three tumblers
more of whisky. He was soon in what he
calls niagara Fall of perspiration," which
rapidly expelled the poison and saved his
life

LITTLE THINGS.

Life is made of little things,
Call them trifles, never,
Zen the least is part of life,
And will be forever.
Words are only little things,
Easy to be spoken;
Yet single one ere now,
A loving heart hath broken.
Sins are sometimes little things,
But they're seed for reaping;
To be done in after years,
With repentant weeping.
Troubles may be little things
That a friend may tighten
With a word whose CHEEKY sound
May the whole day brighten.
Minutes are but little things,
Yet they grow to ages;
They are types that stamp the words
On your hlstory's pages.
Children may be little things,
Yet to them twas given
Privilege to come to Him
Who ruleth earth and Heaven.
Don't despise the little things,
Inches make the fathOmS,
Grass blades cover pra1ries wide,
Words are made of atoms.
