How a Husband Was Lost.

When the late lafayette S. Foster,
AT one time president Of the United
States Senate. was young and rising
lawyer, he wooed aud was engaged to a
young lady whose family enjoyed a
larger social prominence than his own.
Tue wedding day had been fixed and
the couple were talking over their pros
peclive tour, as part of which young
Foster proposed that they shonld spend
a few days with his parents, who resided
in q town some distance away. The
lady rather reluctantly consented, but
said: 4 will 90 with you this time, but
in the future you must not expect my
visits 10 your parents to be very ire
ouent. You must remember that our
associations have been very different
Surprised and shocked by this cold
blouded depreciation of the father and
mother whom he loved and honor
ed, the young man paced the floor
the sport of seething and conflicting
emotions. Finally, taking his hat be
turned to the young lady and said: i
aus clad have found you out in time;
you may go to the Deuce The rebuke
might not have been choice in style,
but it was eainest. in spirit. Thence
forth their ways lay apart and she was
not the gamer.

Luck or Providence.

Some people are fond Of denying that
there is any such thing as luck or
more scripturally speaking, 'Proyl-
dence;' but be that as it may, there
certainly are persons to whom what
seems like !fortutOus good fortune
comes.
Col. Green Wilkinson gave a seal in
his pew in London 10 40 old gentleman.
who left him $4,000 year.
A young BostOnlan crossed to
England three or four years ago aud
got into conversation with an elderly
gentleman, who observed that lie found
that they had the same name. 1t
turned out that they were second cous.
ins. The elder had gone to California
in the earlier days, made a vast fortune,
and entirely lost sight OF his relatives.
The chance meeting gave the youpg
Bostonian a fortune OF between two
and three millions.
Two ladies had box at the opera
in London. An old man opposite
bored them dreadfully by perpetually
'lorgnetting' them. The scene to an
end, and they thought no more about
it. One day, a year atterward, a
solicitor called on one Of the ladies'
Lady Frances Bruce, and told her that
an old gentleman had left her property
worth several thousand a year.
Never heard of such a nan, size
said; 1t must be Il mistake.
Very extrao rdinary,' replied tSe
solicitor. Suddenly a happy thought
struck him. He lies in his cOffln IN St.
James Street, close by. Will you come
and see him?'
She went. 1t was the old lorgnetter,
And it is said that he lell it to her un-
der a mistake after all, having lntended
leaying it to her friend, whom, and not
Lady Frances, he admired, but was
misinformed as to the the name oi

1.-THE Secret Out.

Mr.. Redundancy has noticed that
the boy who is most afrrid Of the girls
IS the first to be collared in matrimony.
That the little boys prefer boys to girls.
That they soon change, never to 90
back to their early love. That the lit
tie girls love the girls best. That they
don't get ever their preference so soon
as the boys do, some Of them meyer.
That women love the men because
they love everything they haye to take
care of. That men love women because
they can't help it. That the wife loves
her husband so we'll that she has no
thoughts for other men. That the hus'
band so loves his wife that he loves all
women for her sake. That girls who
have given oyer all hopes of matrimo-
my, or who never had any, love to hirt
with married men. That the married
man is apt to think himself all-killing
among the fair sex simply because he
has found one woman fool enough 10
marry him. That homely husbands are
the best; they never forget the compll-
ment pad them by their wives in ac-
cepting them. That homely wives are
the truest; they know how to make the
most of what they have. Lightning
seldom strikes twice in the same place,
and a homely woman ieels that simi-
lar law governs question popping. That
the women who marrIes does weill
That the woman who does not marry
does better nine times out often. That
the fellow who makes the most con.
quests has the least time to brag. That
the man who thinks the girls are all in
love with him is happy after his way?
That the man who loves all the girls is
happy after the true way. That the
least be says about bis love for other
women the smoother will be his matri.
monial career. That it is time to stop,

Mrs. JudsOn's Ghost.

DR.. Wayland, in his Life of Judson,
has but feebly portrayed the scene o.
Mrs. Judson's funeral. Our decks were
crowded by sailors Of all nations, and
every flag was at halEmast, while a
long line of boats took ours in tow, and
on arrival at the wharf the clergy OF
every denomination formed the head OF
the procession, which moved through
the main street, while all the chops
were closed.
Ny recollections Of DIR. Judson are OF
the most agreeable kind. Deeply af.
filcted as lie was with his loss, he still
maintained a cheerful demeanor, i'm.
pressing all ofus with love and yenera-
ton for his character. His life was q
constant sermon.
But scenes like that OF the death and
funeral they bad lately witnessed pre-
pared the minds of the crew for the ac-
cess OF superstition. Soon after leav-
ing st. Helena the second mate called
me suddenly in the night. The poor
fellows tone evinced that be was as
mn:h frightened as were the sailors,
who, be said. had seen a ghost.
A ghost, Mr.. Bronson p | asked.
What kind of a ghost?'
Mrs. Judson's, sir ; we can all see it
In the foretop.'
Pshaw !!
Captain, DO come on deck, do, and
you will see for YOURSELF replied Mr..
Bronson.
Well, as 1 had never seen ghost,
complied with his request, and walking
into the waist, where the watch were
gathered in stupefed amazement, they
pointed their trembling fingers to the
foretop, whispering, in hushed voices,
There, sir-look at her =
Yes, there she was-a perfect figure
Of woman IN white dress, with out
stretched arms and ghastly face. ]
will confess that no little .astonishment
was combined with my incredulity.
had been awakened from a sound sleer
to behold this visitation with balf-open.
ed eyes. But in a moment saw the
cause OF the singular deception.
Boys l said, who will 80 with me
into the foretop and speak to her?'
There were brave men among the
crew who would have gone aloft on my
order to send down royal yard, even
if they thought the mast might go over
the side, but now none of them would
stir. AT last I said, DO you think il
my place 10 60 up there and stow that
top-gallant studdlng.sail?'
Then they understood the meaning ol
the apparitIon. The sail, which, when
not in Use, was lashed against the FORE
topmast rigging bad got adrift, and
spreading itself across the foremast
head, assumed the weird and unearthly
appearance of ghost. So this puzzle
for metaphysiclans was solved.
Had l sent the men below and gone
up and slowed the. sail myself, as l was
tempted 10 do, no argument would ever
have convinced them that they had not
seen The ghost OF Mrs. Judsen.

Markets..


The market in Staunton continues dull, with
very little of any kind Of produce Offering Wheat
yesterday was quoted at 125 to l 80, and extra
flour 625. There is still considerable quantity
Of wheat in the county. and farmers are holding
for reaction in prices. While we will offer no
advice to producers we are still Of the opinion
that there will be an advance before the 1st OF
March. The heavy operations Of SPECTATORS. es-
pecially the Keene combination. who are holding
from 10000 900 to 14,000O 900 bushels OF wheat and
continue purchasing,i 1T is believed has depress-
ing effect. The statement has been made that
the crop OF the United States is larger than WAS
anticipated and that OF Europe also more encour-
aging; but this statement Is probably for specu-
lative purposes. The fact remains, when demand
and supply are measured, that there is defcien-
CT in the old world equal to, If not greater than
the surplus of this country and upon this basis
calculations may be made. In New York the
market has been quoted this week as firm and
active, condition which it has not maintained
before since the holidays. In Baltimore, yester-
day, Northern wheat was steady, with slight Of
ferings at SO to As; Western, higher ana active,
