4 Virginia Ghost Story

The congregation of a colored Meth
odist church is much exercised at pres
ent over a ghost which is said to have
made its appearance in their midst on
a recent occasion. One Of the deacons
of the church few months ago lost his
wife, who had greatly shocked the re-
ligionists by her refusal to become one
of them. A Sunday or two ago, at
night service, the deacon entered the
church after the congregation had as
sembled, and in full view of the people
there walked behind him a woman
bearing striking resemblance to his
dead wife. The spectators held their
breath, watching the gliding figure be-
hind the man, who seemed entirely un-
conscious of it. He entered his pew
with the woman still behind him, seat
ing herself when he did, but presently
the stranger was seen to have disap-
peared, though no one had seen her
leave the church by the one door, and
the windows were open top aud bottom
such short distances as to make it i'm.
possible for a grown person to have
SOue OuG de lucLl, even II lllS 1eat
could have been accomplished without
any one seeing it.
After the service was over all waited to SEE
the deacon leave the church and when he
walked away the same woman was discover
ell walking behind him. The man looke(
back at the curious crowd, but did not seen
to see his companion and when the minister
summoning up his courage, ventured 10 joiI

| That night the groaus of the deacon reused

him he was found to be dying. All wer'

the room, which was confirmed by the doctor
who was called TO attend him, but that as thC
breath left his body the woman who hat
walked behind him was seen to leave th'
| room. This is also confirmed by the doc or
who declares himself at loss TO know wher
she could have come from.
He noticed as she passed him that her gar
ments exhaled peculiar order of corruption
and that her face was tied about the laws af
ter the fashion of arraying the dead. 1h
sister of the dead wife was sitting with tn
deacon as he died, aud, seeing her deceaset
relative, started up and would have accostet
her, but the phantom turned its face to he

for n brother Clergyman. Being anxious
to know what impression he had made,
nc asked the clerk: "IVas my dis

hope 1 did not shSoG over the heads of
the people" mo, you didn't do that,
SIR" ''Was it n suitable theme?" asked
the clergyman. Eyes, it was about
right" WAS it too long2" mo, but
it was long enough" II am glad of
that, for, to tell you the truth. the
other day, as was getting this sermon
ready my dog destroyed four or five
pages, and that has made it much short

you let our vicar have pup O. that ERE

A PEAR tree which was set by Gov.
John Endicot in 1850 is still standing
near Danversport, Mass. 1t blossoms
freely, although two hundred and sixty
two years old; but the fruit, like most
of the pears of that date, is of poor
quality.
ALTHOUGH it may not be generally
known, the woods of northern British
America are still infested by a queer

buffalo" He is much larger than the
buffalo of the plains, which formerly
abounded in such numbers.
