Some look upon the entire aggregation Of talent
on the floor with undivided admiration. but

one or more favOrites whom she holds in esteem

goddesses who sit in Judgment there are almost
as many factions as there are gOddesses and il

A Night With Ghosts,

A Night With Ghosts.
One night, In a haunted chamber.
Invoke, past the midnight hour,
And sav with numbing horror.
Weird forms by the hearthstone cover.
Scarce human, vet strangely life-like
In actions and gestures, while
They spoke in a voiceless murmur
That Setter concealed their guile.
They noted, with sunen faces,
The spot where shook with fear;
Then sudden, as at a signal.
First one and then all drew near.
AS palsied waited, helpless,
The while they so slowly came,
And wished might die II ever
l felt their foul breath OF fame.
They came, oh, so slowly, slowly;
They scowled at nv visage pale,
Until could bear the torture
No more, and a sharp, fierce wall
Burst loud from nv lips, and startled
The inIps in their evil scheme,
Who quickly and completely vanished,
As though but gruesome dream.
No more at the witching midnight

Or feed TO a naughty stomach
Burnt beans and fossil clam.

Town election on Mondy week, not
much craze in view concerning it.
There is considerable dissatisfaction
and might say indignation over the
course pursued by Representative Pen
dleton In regard 70 the poStofice Of this
place. When he was he here prior to
the election, he said the people would
be allowed TO make a selection for post
master, and he would respect their
wishes and recommend for appointment
whOmsOever they would designate.
Consequently no one was in a hurry to
present their claims, as the present
postmaster holds over something like a
year yet, and TO say when his announce
msnt for this place was sent forth was
a surprise is putting it mildly, as it was
looked upon as a breach OF faith. There
is no reflection intended against the
party mentioned by Mr. Pendleton in
his announcement. IL will possibly be
said nobody is kicking except diSaps
pointed aspirantS. Such is not the
case.

4 Queer Railroad.

One Of the Queerest railroads on this
continent is the Salisbury & Havey, in
New Brunswick. 1t is but twenty
miles long, aud, although it connects
with the Inter-Colonial road, an admir-
ably constructed line, it is confessedly
unsafe. A printed notice hung up in
the cars cautions passengers that it is
well 70 get out and walk On reaching a
certain bridge, and it was long the Gus
tom to push the cars over this crazy
structure before the engine was TASTED
upon It's rotting timbers.
