Unnecessary Ghosts.

Ghosts are superfuities. An old Maryland
eolored man once remarked to the writer:
These yere hants ought to be ashamed of their.
selves. We've got trouble enough in this world
without being bothered with EN-, and long az
we pay pretty smart for giyin' 'em sleeping
places IN the graveyards they ought to have
sense enough to stay there" This philosopher
was right. Ghosts are entirely unnecessary.
The earth is for the living The ghosts have
the unmeasured vastness of the universe for
picnic ground, and they ought to stay there.
But IN spite Of abundant stories, it can be aid
OF ghosts what the old Major said Of women
haters, There aren't any"

the Philistine insolenee and redeem his people
from shameful subsection TO heatheu power
and menace. He did the deed, aud from then
on his name was in every mouth. He became
the peoples favorite. Saul was filed with the
unreasonable rage OF jealousy. He was erazed
