love of country will be secondary to
humanity as virtue.
This nation. i seems to ME, has not
sprung iGtO cxistl Ice without mani
fest destiny. There must be some
noble end for which the independence
of the United States was established.
1t was to demonstrate to the world
what great good TO mankind free aud
Independent people can do; to estab
iish government of the people, by
the people and for the people, TO
preserve law and order; to treat the
people alike with fairness and Justice;
to do away with selfish aud clannish
feeling; to make American patriotism
synonymous with fair play, with love
OF mankind, with freedom ane liberty
IN accordance With Law and Justice.
by pursuing these great ends this Re-
public will become tho creates. pcwor

this great country, will be more than
ever respected and loved by all.
In conclusion let ne add this: Your

vitlng me you orc following the good
example Of your representatives
abroad. There is nothing wrong, to
my mind, in inviting foreigners who
are sojourniDg in this country to join
in commemorating this great day. 1t
shows the friendly feelings you have
for foreigners, and the foreigners by
coming here show their friendly feel.

In good cause like this the more

to assist you in observing this day.
May it ever be celebrated in a hearty,
genuine, patriotic spirit.

Two Ghost Stories.

In his "Story of My Life" Angus.
tus Hare tells number of ghost stories
from which are the following:
In November, 1873, Nr. Herman
Merivale reiterated the following
story: "a captain was crossing to
America in his ship with very few
sailors on board One day one of
them came up to him on the deck and
said that there was strange man iu
his cabin; that he could see the man g
eace, but that he was sitting with his
back TO the door at the table writing.
The captain said it was impossible
there could be any one in mis- cabin
and desired the sailor to go and look
again. When he came up, he said
the man was gone, but on the table
vas the paper on which he had writ
ten, with tue lux still wet, the words,
steer due south" The captain said
that as he was not pressed for time he
would act on the mysterious warning.
lie steered due south and met With
ship which had been long disabled
and whose crew was in the last extre.
nifty. The captain of the disabled
ship said that one of his men was a
very strange character. He had him
self picked him up from deserted
ship, and since then he had fallen
into cataleptic trancein which, when
he recovered, he declared that he had
been in another ship, begging its cap
tain to come to their assistance. When
the man who had beer sent to the
cabin saw the catalepic sailor, he re-
cogoized him at once as the man he
had seen writing"
In January, 1874, Mr.. Hare met
Col. Henderson of the police force at
dinner. Col. Henderson said that his
father had been executor to old Lord
Birdport, who had box which no one
was ever allowed to open and of the
contents of which even Lady Birdport
was ignorant. After Lord Birdports s
death the widow sent Col. Henderson
to look into things and then said: 81
wish you would open that box. One
ought to know about it, Col. Hen
derson did not like doing it, but took
the box into the library and sat down
before it with candles by his side.
Immediately he heard movement on
the other side Of the table and, look
ing up, saw old Lord Birdport as clear
ly as he had ever seen him in his life,
scowling down upon MIN with furi-
GUS expression. He went back at
once to Lady Birdport and positively
refused to open the box, which was
then destroyed unopened. Col Hen
derson said, II shall never to my dy-
ing day forget the face of Lord Bird
port as [ saw him after he was dead. F"
