Dibdin's Ghost.
Eugene Filed.

EuSCn6 II lieu.
Dear wife, last midnight whilst l read
The tones you so despise,
A spectre rose beside the bed
And spoke in this true wise:
From Canaan's beatific coast
I've come to visit thee,
For l am Frognall Diblin's ghost!'
Says Diblin's ghost to me-
/ babe him welcome and we twain
Discussed with bouyant hearts
The various things that appertain
To bibliomaniac arts.
"Since you are fresh from tother side,
Pray tell me of that host
That treasured books before they died."
Says l to Diblin's ghost.
They've entered into perfect rest,
For in the life they've won
There are no auctions to modest,
No creditors to dun;
Their heavenly rapture has no bounds
Beside that jasper sea
1t is a joy unknown to Lowndes! -
Says Diblin's ghost to me.
Much 1 rejoiced to hear him speak
OF biblio-bliss above,
For | am one of those who seek
What bibliomaniacs love;
but tell me-for j long to hear
What doth concern me most
Are wives admitted to that sphere?"
Says l to Diblin's ghost.
1.-The women folk are few up there,
For 'twere not fair, you know,
That they our heavenly JOY should share
Who vex us here below!
The few are those who have been kind
To husbands such as We
They knew our fads, and didn't mind"
Says Diblins ghost to me.
but what of those who scold at us
When we would read in bed?
Or, wanting victuals make a fuss
If we buy books. instead?
And what of those whoVe busted not
Our motley pride and boast?
Shall they profane that sacred spot?"
Says | to Diblin's ghost.
"Oh, no. They tread that other path
Which leads where torments roll,
And wOrms-yes, bOokworms-vent their
wrath
Upon the guilty SOUL
Untouched of bibliomaniac grace
That saveth such as we,
They walloW in that dreadful placer
Says Diblin's ghost to me.
ITO my dear wife will / recite
What things I've heard you say:
She'll let me read the books by night
She's let me buy by day:
For we. together. by and by,
Would join that heavenly host
She's earned a rest as we'll as ~
Says I TO Diblin's ghost.

II is a little queer that those Rhode
Island towns should have gone democratic
on Monday, just at the time the republi-

is sweeping over the country. Pawtucket
and Woonsocket are manufacturing

of New England cannot be depended upon
to support the party of protection upon
all occasions, what reasonable ground is
there for thinking the country at large
will support the protectionists in the next
election?

Magistrate Wentworth of the Essex
Market police court, in New York is an
authority upon the corporal punishment
of recalcitrant youth. and he sometimes
tells while on the bench how children
should be logged. He discharged two
boys the other day. upon the promise OF
their parents that they would chastise
them. Don't hit them on the nose
said the magistrate, but give it TO them
where nature intended they should get it.
And don't be soft-hearted after you have
hit them, and kiss them. Treatment OF
that sort spoils them Lay it on good
and heavy, and when they are tempted
to do wrong in the future they will re-
member it." There is probably more of
philosophy than law in the judges charge.

former he will displace Mr.. Turner, who
