Seeing Family Ghosts.
THE ArrARIrIoNs WHICH CAME TO PREsI-
DENT TyLsR's SISTER.

President Tyler had a sister who was reck-
oned one of the most gifted women of her
day She was the namesake of Patrick
Henry and the pet of Jefferson. She lived
with her father, Governor Tyler, at Green
way. in Charles City County, Va. One night,
while sleeping in the bed with a cousin,
young woman of her own age, she awoke and
saw her mother, who had been dead for
some months. sitting in the window seat.
1t was a bright night in summer, and under
the window was the bed of a younger sister,
who was an infant at the time of her mother's
death. The apparition leaned over the child
and gnzed intently on it. Miss Tyler re-
membered TO have heard that an apparition
would remain as long as the eyes were
fixed on it. She looked steadily at it with
out the least alarm. Now comes the
strangest part of the story. The girl lying
by her side said quietly: 'Maria, there is
your mother" Then the form melted away.
Some years at,erward. after Governor Ty-
ler's death, his daughter was at Greenway
again. She was then married. and was
visiting the first wife of her brother, Presi-
dent Tyler. He was absent in Washington,
being in the Senate. One night one of Mrs.
rylers children became ill, and her sister
in-aw went TO the nursery To help take care
Of it. She suggested that she should get
remedy from her own room, and, taking
candle in her hand started for it. On her
return, as she passed the staircase, she saw
her father standing before her. The same
idea flashed into her mind that she could
hold the appartion by her fixed gaze. She
observed il carefully, and recognized
certain suit of brown cloth which she had
sometimes seen the Governor wear, and she
was self-possessed enough to look for a mole
on his forehead which was a birth mark.
Mrs. Tyler, after waiting some minutes, call.
ed to her to hasten. whereupon the figure

Robin Adair.

None of the great composers Of music.
Handel excepted, was a great song writer,
and Handel has said that he would rather be
the author of the sweet Irish melody of
Eileen Aroon.' now known as "Robin
Adair," than all the other songs in the world.
This is story of the origin of "Robin
Adair."
young Irish physician of the name OF
Robin Adair. walking to London, stopped at
an inn. where there was n Countess whose
leg had been broken by the overturning of u
stage coach. His profered services were
accepted, and he performed his work so skill
fully that she insisted he should not leave
her. Ultimately she took him to Londo and
introduced him to the best social circles. lie
became enamored of an Earls daughter, and
taught her to sing EILEEN Aroon." After
ward he was parted from her by cruel fate.
She connected his name with the song, using
it for the refrain, and at length the song as
thus changed was picked up and carried by
celebrated tenor upon the English stage,
where it met with the same instantaneous
success as did 'Home Sweet Home"
"Auld Lang Svne' had its origin in n
Catholic vesper hymn; yankee Doodle"
was originally a sword dance, and "John
Anderson my Jo John" and ''Cruisken Lawn"
were the same tune written in n little differ
eDt time. This was an older song than either,
which ran, "There was a little man who
loved a little maid" and before that, in the
time of Queen Elizabeth it was n dance
