To the stories of occurrences hard to
explain on any mental theory, the Bur-
liugton, Vermont, Free Press contrib
utes the following:


A story of such occurrences has re-
Gently been related to US, and if it were
permissible to give names, they would
give much weight to the statement. The
facts come to US through only two
mouths from the actors. A family re-
moved from country village into Bos-
ton, and occupied q house compare
lively new, and in modern part of the
city. The children soon began to tell
their parents of boy who came to play
with them in the street or in their play
room, and of what he said and did, and
how he looked. The parents never saw
the boy, and finally bade the children
bring him in some day to see them.
The answer was, "0h, we cant; he goes
right away" Being told the next time
be came to the house to let them know,
the children did so; but, as they said, he
had gone right away" when the par
ents reached the play room. This went
on for some time, greatly to the wonder
and perplexity of the parents; the chill
dren, simple and matter of fact,
thought nothing strange of it. One
day they reported to their father that
their playmate, now well known by
name, told them his father and mother
were going to Europe in few days, and
he gave their names and the vessel they
would sail by from New York The
gentleman, without saying anything
went to New York, found such names on
the steamer list, went to the dock on the
day of sailing, sought the persons, and
inquired if they had boy of such age
and description as his children had rela
ted o him With great emotion they
replied, "We had such boy, but he is
dead; why do you askY' Further con-
versation convinced them and the Bosto-
nian that the spirit of their darling boy,
never seen by those who knew aud loved
him, was a frequent visitor to the house
of perfect strangers, and seen and talked
with by the children of others. What
was the results not known to us; whether
or not, upon the return home of the Bos-
tonian, any attempt was made to open
communication with the spirit boy for
his parents, or even whether or not the
F" spirit was again seen; but the facts
here given went near to overturn his be
lief in the possibility of the return OF
the soul in bodily appearance, on the
part of the clear-headed, devout and
gray. haired man, to whom the tale was
told by his lifelong friend, the Bostonian
himself, and through whom the story
comes to us.

he eventually succeeded in doing. Here,
however, he was hard pressed by the
dogs, who were close at his heels when
he reached the other side of the forest.
He now made an effort to get to Vile
formoy, and at last sought refuge in a
shed on the outskirts Of the village. The
dogs, as might be expected, followed him
into his retreat, but he vigorously de-
Tended himself, killing one of the dogs
and ripping open six others before the
huntsmen were able to dispatch him.
He seemed to have taken particular
dislike to the Count, possibly on account
of something in his dress, for he charged
him five or six times, and would certainly
have done him sone serious injury if it
had not been for the dogs, who on each
occasion managed to get between the
boar and his wouldbe victim. Several
of the landed gentry and noblemen resi-
ding in the neighborhood, and even one
or two amazones, followed the hunt,
which lasted about an hour and half. -

were moving away from Terre
Haute the other day, pretty young
woman came from the ladies car,
and rushing into the smoking car,
frantically appealed to everybody to
stop the train. Catching sight of the
conductor, she exclaimed piteously,
"Mr. Conductor, do please stop the
train; I've left my baby" The train
was stopped, and the baby recovered,

MOTHERS HOUSE, How many
happy thoughts are called up by
those two beautiful words. Is there,
can there be any place so full of
pleasant places, beneath the waving
palms of sunny isles, or in the chill
ing shadows of icy mountains. Our
heart turns with unchangeable love
and longing to the dear old house
which sheltered us in childhood.
Kind friends may beckon us to
newer scenes, and loving hearts may
bind us fast to pleasant homes, but
we are not satisfied with them alone,
for there is one place more fair and
lovely than them all, and that is the
beloved /" Mothers House,"


1t may be old and ricketty to the
eyes of the stranger. The windows
may have been broken and patched,
long ago, and the floor worn through
and mended with pieces of tin, but it
is still mothers house, from which
we looked out at life with hearts full
of hope, building wonderful castles
in cloudland which faded long ago;
but thanks to the good Father, moth
er's house is left US still, and weary
with the busy turmoil of life, weary
of ourselves, we turn our steps tow
ard the dear house of rest, and at its
Threshold lay our burdens down.


Here we have watched life come
and go. Here we have folded still
cold hands, over hearts as still, that
once beat full of love for us. Here
we have welcomed brothers and sis
ters into life, watched for the first
lisping from baby lips, guided the
tottering baby feet from helplessness
to manhood, and here we have
watched with aching hearts, to see
the dear ones turn from the home
nest into world which has proved
but a snare and a temptation to
many wandering feet. And here we
gather strength to take up our lives
again and go on patiently unto the
end. But though the world calls US
and we may find friends good and
true, we turn to the dear old home,
when troubles come, for help and
comfort. God grant that for us all
there may long remain a mothers

ship have been thrown away by the men who
should have been his Warmest supporters.
The lesson we learn from it is that no profes-
sion, no calling of modern times is more
heartless than the profession of politics.
The spectacle of this venerable, celebrated
and very meritorious citizen--hs gray head
crowned with the gathered honors of o half
century of honest public service, a hero in
two wars, and always at the call of the people
when special work was necessary-forced
into canvass to sustain Grants administra-
tion and abandoned in the heart of the strife
to serve baser and personal ambitions, is one
of the saddest even in these sad days of
modern politics. 1t is hard to see gentleman
of the old school ruthlessly thrown into the
ditch by the hireling adventures of modern
partisanship.


As the canvass now stands, if Governor
Dix wins, as win he may, it will be in spite of
Mr.. Conkling, Mr.. Morgan and their followers,
because of his name, his services and the
high place he holds in the affections of the
people Of New York. If he fails, as seems very
probable, it will be because his failure seems
to be necessary to the ambition of Mr.. Morgan
to be Senator and Mr.. Conkling to be Presi-
dent.
