A Woman scaIped.

The sights at the seashore are many
and varied, and a certain Brooklyn
young mar will have reason 10 remember
his visit TO Coney Island last Sunday.
He was in bathing with a party Of
friends, some Of whom we're strangers ia
the city. They had all been in for long
time, and were taking final plunge be-
fore getting out. The young man made
a dive, and swan out from shore TO a
point beyond the ropes, and then tried
TO see how far he could swim under water
in returning.
lie went down, and when he next sp-
peared he was within a stones throw of
the shore. When he came to the surface
Of the water his eyes werefilied with the
briny water, and be opened and closed
them rapidly. AS ne did so, however,
he espied what he thought was coeOa-
nut II flashed through his head that
perhaps a vessel had been wrecked and
the cargo lost, and reaching out he made
a grab at the object.
There was little shrek, which the
young man did not hear, and minute
la'er a woman about 80 years Of age was
seen making her escape from the water.
l. was noticed that she had no hair, and
held her arm up over her head lmag-
inc the young swimmers disgust, though,
when he saw that what be had supposed
was a eocoanut was nothing more than
an old brown wig.

Laying a Ghost.

A few years ago house in the central
part of the State had the reputation OF
being haunted. A succession Of tenants
occupied it at short intervals, but quick
ly sought and found some other abode
without ghostly occupant. Every few
nights, it was said, in certain part Of
the garnet of the haunted house the
wailing of a ghost could be heard "Oh,
dear. Oh, dear - as if the spirit was suf-
fering the most frightfal agony. The
property degenerated in value on the
owners hands, and at length it became
almost impossible for him to find anyone
who would live in the place. Finally a
bright thought struck the annoyed pos
SCISSOR. lie would lay that ghost and
wind up its affairs, or know the reason
why"
Following the noise that night, he
came to a window Of the garret close to
where the mournful sound emanated
The mystery was quickly cleared. Juss
without stood tree, one of its limbs
having grown against the side Of The
house. Every time the wind blew, this
projected ouishoot would rake the clap
boards, making q sound resembling
0-o-o-h when il moved one way, and
dear when it returned. The next
morning a few clips with an ak removed
the limb, and the ghost returned no
more. A fearless investigation OF this
character viii lay ghosts as the thistle
down trail with the winds in the latter
part of the summer.

Apog,s RenevoIence.


A dog in the neighborhood Of Man
chester has been Distinguishing itself in
a marked degree. This IS not a homeless
cur. but dog in easy circumstances, and
owned by a kind and indulsent master.
Too indulgent the reader may be dispos-
ed to think, when ne Is told that every
morning al lunch time the creature was
presented with penny. which il carried
in its mouth to the shop Of baker. and
there purchased a biscuit. 1t happened,
however. that TIE baker. meeting the
owner OF the dog, mentioned to him that
il had not been for its biscuit lately. This
was unaccountable, and the more so be-
cause the animals master had remarked
that during the past week or 50 i had
exhibited unusual impatieRce for lunch
time, endeavoring by caressing and tail
wagging to obtain its luncheon money
before il was due. When it at last re-
ceived il II had never failed 10 run off in
a hurry. and after a while return without
the coin, seemingly satisfied with its in
vesiment.
The next morning after the baker had
made his communication TO the gentle
man. The latter, after giving bis dog the
penny. was curious to watch it. And 10
and behold it never went near the bis
cult shop. Without an instants delay
il hasiened to a tripe sellers, and there
bought and paid for neat and tempting
skewering Of ''paunch.r But it was not
for its own eating. With cheerful aiac-
rity it took the meat in its mouth and
made for an empty house, and to the eel
lar thereof, and being closely followed,
the benevolent creature was discovered
in the act Of delivering its precious pen
nywOrth to a poor, miserable tyke,
stranger TO the neighbOrhOOd, and APP

dently it had been taken i'll on the road,
and probably would have died in the
cellar into which it had crawled for shell
ter, had il not been for the kind commits
Grafton Of the other dog, who probably
quite by accident had found it there.

Songs of Harriet Beecher Stowe

home in Hartford waiting for the hume :
ist to return from his daily walk Sudden
ly sounds of devotional singing came in
through the open window from the di-

singing was low, yet the sad tremor in
the voice seemed to give it special car
