it is your mission to do my bidding. I
was a priest Of the church of Rome
and was called to this house so years
ago to receive the confession Of dying
man. He was the sole possessor of a
secret, the knowledge of which would
alter materially the entail Of this vast
estate, and in his death this man wished
to repair the terrible wrong he had
brought upon his kin.
AT his request | wrote down the
confession word for word, as he gave
1t to me, and when he finished had
barely time to administer the final sac
rament of the church before he expired
in my arms. It was very important
that / should return to London that
night, and in passing through the libra
ry to leave the house l concluded it

On which was written the confession
away with me, but to place it in some
secure, unseen spot, where I could OBJ
tain 1t the following day and deliver
the document to the person for whom
it was intended. Mounting the steps
to the book shelves, l took out a copy
Of Young's Night Thoughts, which
was the first book upon the uppermost
shelf nearest the last window, and in
serting the paper carefully between its
leaves 1 replaced the book and depart
ed. A horse was awaiting me at the
door, but ere we reached the entrance
OF the grounds he took fright. / was
thrown and instantly killed. Thus died
the secret Of my confessor with me. No
one has disturbed that book in all these
years, and no one has had the courage
to address this messenger from the I'M
known. The paper will be found as !
have stated, and now remains for you
to correct the injustice which has so
long been upon this noble family. My
mission is over, and ] can rest in
peace.
At the close of this remarkable speech
the specter faded gradually from sight,
and the bishop was left gazing into
space. Recovering from his astonish-
ment, Bishop Wilberforce went at oEce
to the library and found the book OK
actly as indicated by the specter. In
its secluded corner, upon the top shelf,

A TRUE GHOST STORY,
A REMARKABLE EXPERIENCE or BISH.
OP WlLBERFORCE.

The Quiet Guest at the Country House and
the Singular and Important Disclosure
He Made When Addressed by the Bishop.
The Estate Changed Owners.
The following remarkable incident
in the life Of the late Samuel Wilber-
force, bishop Of Oxford and afterward
of Winchester, is related as absolutely
authentic, and the good bishop himself
Is said to have many times rehearsed
the story to his friends. Bishop Will
berforce was most prominent among his
contemporaries of the English clergy
and was once a leader OF the high
church party. He, however, frequent
ly found time to devote to the social
side of life and was sometimes styled
the "bishop of society.
On a certain occasion the worthy
bishop had accepted an invitation to
stay at a country house not far from
London. Entering the drawing room
previous to dinner on the evening Of his
arrival, he noticed g priest-evidently
of the Roman sitting by
the open fire and taking no part in the
general conversation. The bishop was
somewhat surprised at not being pre-
sented to the priest, and his astonish
ment was great when, few moments
later, dinner being announced, the
guests retired, leaving the priest at his
place by the fire. The hostess having
assigned Bishop Wilberforce the seat Of
honor at her right hand, as soon as an
opportunity offered he remarked:
Il beg your pardon, madam, but
may inquire who was the priest we
left sitting apart in the drawing room?"
"Ah, you have seen him, then?' TO.

who has that privilege. cannot tell
you who he is or whence he comes.
For many years this specter has haunted
the house and grounds-it has, in fact,
been q tradition in the family. He
seems to do no harm, and although he
appears only occasionally wo have be-
come quite accustomed to cur friendly

With all my heart, your lordship, "
replied the lady. The bishop arose,
and Feturl1ing to tho drawing room
found the priess where he had left Him
a few minutes before. Having no fear,
the bishop said kindly:
"Who are you, my friend, and why
are you heTe?"
The specter seemed to sigh deeply and
say, as though to itself, At last!"
Then, in hollow goice, addressing
the bishop, it continued: 4 am the
spirit Of q priest who left this world
some so years ago, and am here to
inpart to any one who will receive it

subject of draughts, and the game is
known to have been played in Eu-
