Emma Lazaru in Scribner. Uncle Sen's Ghostly Ride. My Undo Ben believe in ghosts ? Of course he did ; he used to say : " No modern mansion of stucoo and plaster for me ; give ma a grand old house, ai' covered by ivy and hidden by trees, whose walls are hung with tapestry, and ' whose passages, extending from room to room, make the blood curdle with their gloom and length. Why, sir, there is something enlivening even in its decay ; the dampness of its walls, and the cracks in the discolored ceilings, which only suggests to the vulgar mind ague and rheumatism, are evidences to me of its venerable age and respectability. Tue very mice that scamper up and down in the time-worn wainscoting give ine a friendly greeting that I never meet in your new-fashioned houses, built for a race of mammon-worshipers who have made their wealth out of shoddy and petroleum, " I really believe that Uncle Ben valued the shade that was said to hauut his house far higher than all his more tangi ble property. Nothing made him more angry than for any one to doubt its ex-" isteuoe ; be wo J always ready to break a lance with any skeptic on the subject, and to oflfcr him a bed in the haunted roord ; and, although many of the young members of the family scoffed at the story, very few had the courage to accept the challenge. One winter night, when the wind was mouning round the chimney-pots and through the eaves, singing a dirge among the leafless branches of the gaunt old spectral trees for the joys of the dead summer, the family was gathered round the fire in the drawing-room. Uncle Ben, who was standing with his back to the fire, said to his nephew : " I think, Joe, we had better put on another log of wood; I don't feel inclined for bed yet, and I suppose you young sters intend to sit up naif the night, as usual." I don't mean to turn in yet for one, uncle," replied Joe. 'Tell us one of your ghost stories; a regular blood curdler." "Ah. Joe, said the old man,. VI am afraid you are a thorough skeptic You disbelieve in all supernatural appear an 068." Certainly," answered Joe, who was secretary to the Literary Debating So ciety in the little town of Mudborough, and who had written an essay to prove the non-existence of everything, and that we are simply the creations of our own thoughts... "Certainly thes3 impalpable specters are onlv illusions which thedis ordered coudition of our weal phvoical organs bring before us." " I own you are a clever lad, Joe, but I dou t care a button for your arguments I believe in ghosts because I have soi-n them." 'Oh, I aui pen to ooiviotiou; if you introduoe me to a bona fldo ghost 111 give in.' I believe only in the things I understand." " Joe, if you only believe in what you understand, your creed will be shorter than that of any man I know." "Can you give us any proof? Can you mention one instance in which the specter has appeared to any one you know ?" " A hundred, if you wish it," said the old man. "One will do; give us one genuine case and we will believe." "I will; listen. The story that 1 am about to relate is an moment that hap pened to myself some twenty years ago, and for the truth of which I can vouch." "Well, proceed." I would give yon the history of the specter attached to this house, but that only appears to a favored few, and I have not ye seen it, although I have often enough heard the noises it makes." ' " We should prefer a ghost that can be seen, if you nave ever met with one." You must understand that the vil lage in which I lived, bike many others, possesses its spectral visitor. About 109 years ago, an ancestor of mine start ed for London in his traveling carriage, one evening about the latter end of June. He was an -exceedingly irascible raaH, and, the coachman was not suf ficiently quick in preparing the vehicle, he became much enraged, and used ex ceedingly passionate language. For some time the coachman bore his abuse patiently, but, at last, he lost bis tem per, and struck the old gentleman in the face. "In those days everybody wore a sword ; and my ancestor, who was al ways ready to draw, snatched his wea pon from his sheath, and, with one blow, severed the unfortunate man's head from his body. " Conscience-stricken at this fearful crime, and terrified by the dread of its consequences, he gazed upon the head less body for a few moments, and then, being seized with a fit of apoplexy, was carried into the house by his ser vants, where he died in a few hours." "Well," said Joe, "although the story is horrible enough, it has nothing of the supernatural iu it. It is quite possible that an angry old man may csramit a murder and die of fright. " Yea, you are right ; if the tale ended there, there would be nothing to doubt ; but what I ara going to tell you, I am afraid, will be scoffed at by my skepti cal young friends, who disbelieve every thing they uo not see or hear. " That s meant for me, "said Joe, with a laugh. Never mind, uncle ; go on with your story. " xes, my boy, now 1 come to the marvelous, part. Every year, as the hands of the clock point to the hour of midnight, a traveling carnage, with four horses, driven by a headless coach man, leaves that village, and passes down the London road." "He must be clever if he can see to drive without his head," interrupted the still skeptical Joe. " That 1 cannot explain ; some ghost- Beers say that it is possible for people iu clairvoyant stat to rend from tie pit of the stomach ; at all events, a dead u an may b possessed of faculties that we do not understand ; for a man becomes considerably altered when he is dead." "He does, I admit." "And if you allow that a dead man can drive at all, the small matter of a head more or less is of very little lm-. portance. " Just so." " You know that when a man dies he becomes a spirit. " That s rum," said Joe. ' No, sir, it's not rum, nor whisky either ; and. if you cannot listen to my story without endeavoring to turn it into rid cule, I had better leave off," replied Uncle Ben, who was as peppery asms ancestor. ' Oh 1 pray go on, uncle," exclaimed all the listeners. " We'll try to keep Joe in order." - . Well, as I was saying, this appari-r tion made its appearance once a year, as the clock was striking twelve. At any of the villagers had heard the tramp of horses and the rattliug of wheels as the ghostly cortege went by. Now and then some favored individual witnessed the headless driver, as he whipped his horses on toward London. - Bnt in all cases, the coach paseed too qu ckly for any oue to see whether the old gentle man was really inside or not. "And. did no one ever tee liim? asked oue'of the party. " xou bhall hear. X will confess that, until the night when the incident which I am about to relate took place, I was as great an unbeliever as any of you, and always treated the whole account as an old woman's tale, only fit to frighten children. But, one evening, as I sat smoking with some old friends, one of them, a devout believer in everything supernatural, began to talk about the familv legend, I, as usual, threw ridi cule upou the affair. I horrified some of the company by stating my intention of venturing out to wander down the road, and see if I could meet the phan tom cavalcade. I swore that if I dil, would ask the old gentleman to give me a lift, and offered to bet a 100 that the whole legend was a pack of lies." And did you go ?" ' xes ; although some or the more superstitious of the party tried to pre vent me, I persevered, and wanderea out into the night ready to meet with ghost or gobliu. " " And did you meet them I" " Just as I emerged from the lane the village clock chimed the three-quarters, and I sat dowu upon a moss-covered milestouo to wait and watch for th phantoms that 'come like shadows s depart.' The night was chilly, and, as I wrapped my cloak around me, I began to shudder, as I wondered if, by any possibility, there could have been any truth in the strange story that I had heard. I gradually felt, like the man ir the play, that all my courage was oozing out at my flngera's ends." "Oh, uncle, afraid I" cried one of the boys. "Yes, my boy, I must confess it, for the moment I began to wish I was back in the comfortable dining-room. "Suddenly the clock struck the hour of midnight. " As the last echoes died away, I heard in the distance a sound like the noise of a carriage and horses rapidly approaching. My blood began to curdle in my veins ; it came nearer and nearer; and, at last, I saw a curious, old-fashioned vehicle coming toward me at a furious pace. For a moment I was speechless, but, mustering all my courage, I cried out to the coachman to stop. He did so, and then, to my intense surprise, I saw that his head had been severed from the trunk. The ghastly head lay by his side on the coach-box, whioh perhaps ac counted for his being able to hear my cries. " As the carriage stopped he sprang to the ground, flung open the door, let down the steps and signed for me to enter. By this time my nerves were well braced up, and I jumped in without any fear. ' Upon entering the coach and taking my seat I found myself opposite an old gentleman who was dressed in the cos tume of the commencement of the reign of George III. Upon his Head was an old-fashioned tie-wig, and in his hand was a naked sword which was still cov ered with blood. His face was of an un earthly pallor, and had upon it a soured, scared look, which did not make him a very pleasant-looking traveling com panion. " For some time we sat face to face, and when I found that he did not appear to take the slightest notice of me, I be gan to be more at ease. At last I thought it would be very uncivil to ride in the old gentleman's coach without speaking to him, and I also felt inclined, as I had never before met with a real ghost, to make his acquaintance. So I, by way of opening the conversation, said : " A splendid night, sir. "The elderly party in the tie-wig made no reply. "In a hurry to get to town, I pre sume ? Iam very much obliged to you for the lift' Still no answer. After this we both sat for some time in silence; the ghost seemed buried in thought, and I re mained watching him with great inter est. At last, the night being chilly for the time of year, and the coach having about it a peculiar atmosphere like that of a vault, I begun to feel extremely cold. After a while the old gentleman grew quite sociable, and began .to talk; he complimented me upon my bravery in daring to stop his, carriage. For just one century he had, once a year, driven along this road without meeting auy one who had the courage to ride with him; and, through me, he would be released from all further punishment, which was to last until some brave fellow accom panied him in his drive and conversed with him. " For this release he heartily thanked me, and said that, for my courage, I should be lucky to my business specula tions; and, as you are aware, he turned out a true prophet." " Did you talk about anything else ? asked Joe. Oh, yes. My old friend had as much curiosity as a woman," said Uncle Ben, who, I need not say, was an inveterate bachelor. "We "had a conversation about London. It appears that he had been a great beau in his- time, and he considered himself an enormous favorite with the ladies. He wished' to know who was the reigning toast, and was much disgusted when I told him that toasts had gone out of fashion." Was that all ?" Oh, no. He told me where the best civet and pomatum were to be bought, and who was the best peruke-maker: and was still more surprised when I said that no one wore wigs now, except law- vers and coachmen. He asked if travel ing was as dangerous as ever; though he confessed that he had not been much troubled lately by the knights of the road. He said that one rode up to stop him twenty-five years before, but the signc oi ma ueauiesa uriver iiau bo frightened him that he put spurs to his horse and disappeared as it he had had twenty Bow-street runners at his heels." " Did you not ask what became of him on the other nights of the year, when he was not out for his drive ? He said that, in company with the innumerable shades who were condemned to occasionally visit the earth for crimes committed during their past lives, he Eassed his time hovering round his old aunts, longing te become visible to hia descendants, and to assist them in times of trouble, but unable to do so. As we conversed, the time rapidly slipped away; and at length the lamps of Lou don became visible in the distauce. - After thanking the old man for his courtesy, I suggested that I might now alight as I had a great many friends in town that should like to visit; but he shook his head. "'No, no,' said he; we are at the mercy of my coachman he has the entire oomniaud during our drive, aud ha will only atop at the place he picked yon up. riee, lie is turning the horses rouud: we are about to return.' " If the journey to town BeenieJ short, the journey back was still shorter. The old man told me a hundred anecdotes of the people of his time. Ho had been a staunch Jacobite, and be told me all about young Cavalier, and painted the March to Finchley ' in words that did full justice to Hogarth's picture. The statesmen, wits, and soldiers of the last century appeared to stand before me in the flesh, and I never enjoyed a drive betterthan the one I had with my ghostly ancestor. ' As the clock struck one, we pulled up at the old moss-covered milestone where I first stopped the coach. Onoe more thanking me for the inestimable favor I had done him, the old gentleman signed to the driver to open the carriage door. I got out, and, as I turned round to bid him good-by, I found that the whole cavalcade coach, horses, driver, and old gentleman had vanished into thin air, and I was alone." "Alone?" exclaimed his hearers. "Yes," said Uncle Ben; "but the strange thing was that I became insensi ble, and knew nothing more until I was found the next morning lying beside the milestone. " I thought so. You fell asleep and dreamed that you saw the phantom cor tege," said Joe. " No, Bir, it was no dream. When I saw that carriage, and when I rode in it, I was as much awake as I am now ; and when you are as old as I am, and have seen as many wonders, you will be sur prised at nothing, and will own that there are more things in heaven aud earth than are dreamed of in your phi loeophy," Belgravia. Fashion Notes.. The short dress for the street is at last an accomplished fact. Several rows of knife-pleated lace will be used for trimming mantles. Most of the wide collars and cuffs have a lace frill to stand around the neck and wrists. New. ties are of plain silk, the ends finished in embroidery and fringe to represent the tip of peacock feather. Oet sheer striped muslin, or else dimi ty, and work the edges in colored scal lops for drapery for an infant's basket Satin will be much used for trimming spring and summer dresses, some ot the new grenadines are trimmed entirely with black satin. A half-lot ar sacque or else a dolman mantle of black silk or of camel'-shair, with jet aud fringe for trimming, is what you want for the spring. Cashmere suits are coming more and more into favor. Cashmere made over silk is exceedingly attractive. Rich garnitures of all kinds are employed on these much admired and very serviceable promenade aud dinner suits. Corrick capes promise to be much worn on various spring garments. They are seen on cloth socques, ou basque of plain costumes, on polonaises, on dol mans, ou English cloth traveling cloaks, and finally on linen ulBters. The furnishing stores display new costumes of percale, cambric, and Scotch ginghams, trimmed with pleated mils of the material, on which fall scant ruffles of white Hamburg embroidery. The favorite design for these Js the pleated basque. Cambrio wrappers are also being fan cifully mode at the furnishing houses. The prettiest of these have a yoke with Watteau pleating in the back, and are made of bordered cambrics, with the border used for trimming down the yoke, pockets, collar and cutis. Silks of light quality with raised fig ures are onereu ior spring costumes, or as parts of combination suits. These are more stylish than checked or striped silks Bold for the same monev, but they do not wear bo well, as the raised figures are apt to fray : they serve, however, for a season, or as long as the capricious fashion lasts. To make yourself look more slender you should wear the pnncesse under clothing with yoke skirts and with close- fitting chemises that add nothing to the figure. Arrange your hair so that it will add nothing to the size of your bead, Braid the back hair, and make a coil of it high ou the crown ; wave the front hair, and comb it back from the temples, Put velvet buttons on a silk dress trimmed with velvet. Put wide panels of velvet 'down the sides of the over- skirt, and edge it with fringe. The vel vet flounce should be so deep that the bottom of the over-skirt will cover the top of the flounce, and make the skirt seem to be entirely velvet. Turn the edge of the, flounce under, and face with silk. Gathered flounces are very scant. Pleated velvet flounces are twice the length of the space to be covered . A. Kind Act Rewarded. The bread on the waters has returned to a young lady in Clappertown, Pa, after a few years. On December 28, 1873, Bhe met, on a railroad train, a lady who waB very ill, and she kindly minis tered unto her, taking careof her and ao companying her to her place of destina tion. When they parted, the sick wo man offered to reward the young lady for her kindness and attention, but she would take nothing. The old woman wrote down the name and address, nodded familiarly to her, and said : ' You will be. paid some day." The young lady never saw her chance ac quaintance again, but the sum of $90, 000 has recently been bequeathed to ber. The old'woman had no relatives in this country, and left all her money to the girl who had. befriended her. "lieadiny (a.) J-:tjle, FARM, GARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD. Ittedlrml Illala. Cure fob Hoarsenbbs.

In the first place, the atmosphere of a fruit room should ha iirv thflrn fiVmnld 1 no more damp ness than ordinarily exists in the cold outside air. The room should be sus ceptible of ventilation in proper weath er, not bv direct currents of air, but by air modified before it reaches the irnit. A fruit room must be froBt-proof ; it must be cleanly and accessible. As re gards location, it may be placed on a side hill, the excavation opening to the south : or it may be placed under a barn or stable, or other convenient out-build- insr. Ten years ago we constructed a fruit cellar under our stable, and it has proved so satisfactory that we venture to i i i? il mi. 3 : : give a Driei acscripuou oi 11.. xu envi sion walls are constructed of brick, and the apartments are two iu number, an outer aud inner room. The outer room is but partly underground, and is ten by twelve in area, aud eight feet high. J. he inner Aoom is wholly underground, and frost-proof ; it has four brick walls and a cemented floor. In this room tue inut is stored early in December, when the weather becomes cola, ine outer room holds the fruit during the autumn months after it is gathered, and is coil, well lighted and dry. Tne wmdowa re left open and a free circulation of air al lowed so long as no danger from frost exists When the fruit is taken t) the inner room, the door is closed, and no light admitted. Ventilation is secured in moderate weather by opening the inner door and throwing down a window in the outer room. In this cellar we kept apples of last season's growth until the present winter, in perfect condition. Some of thefie apples, exhibited at the autumnal agricultural fairs, were pro nounced as fresh as those of last season's growth. Boston Journal of Chemistry. Prosea I'.mbt at Fiwli. In cold climates fowls with very large combs, like those of the Leghorns, are liable to get frozen; in fact, these large comb breeds must be kept in a warm house if freezing is to be entirely pre vented. When the comb of a bird is fouud to be frozen, it should be thawed out by the application of cold water, either by pouring the water over the head or by immersing the comb while the fowl is held in the baud. After the frost is entirely removed, and the comb and wattles carefully rubbed dry with a Boft cloth, they should be smeared with glycerine, to be followed by a fresh ap plication every day until the comb is restored to its usual appearance. If the frozen comb has been already thawed out, the glycerine may be applied just the same to preveut the soreness. Grease of any kind may be used, and Borne poultry breeders make an ointment for frozen combs by melting a little rosin in hot salt lard. Almost anything which will exclude the air from the raw flesh will assist healing and do good. rrpatloa T Ilyaclalaa. The gardener to the University of Berlin has found that hyacinths may be propagated by their leaves, and this method would appear to specially rec ommend itself where the object iu view is to raise a large number of specimens of new rare varieties. The leaves require to be cut off as near to the bulb as possi ble, put iu a saucer, and covered over with a thin layer of sandy leaf mold, tho same as geraniums are propagated. The saucer having been placed in a greenhouse or frame close to the inner surface of the glass, in eight or nine weeks' time the extremities of the leaves will begin to turn dry, a sure sign that bulbs are growing out of them. The leaves selected for propagation must be fresh and green, the latest time at which they ahould be removed from the plant being the close of tho flowering season. Tnrki Sacking a Town, 1 The Elena correspondent of the Lbn don Tmen writes : We are in Elena after a sharp day's fighting, characterized, I am glad to say, by few of tnose acts oi ferocity which have disgraced so many Turkish successes. There is not a sternei opponent to the Bashi-Bazouk system than Suleiman Pasha, but these inraisn -and Circassian free lances have been raised by the central government into a situation quite beyond control, and any attempt at suppression would transform them even into less controllable brigands. We are in Elena, and the sack of tae place is now in full swing. From the window of the house in which i nave sought a few minutes of quiet to jot down these notes, and which overlooks the long main street of this little towa, I see the ruin progressing fast. To give an idea of the scene in this street it needs to be photographed in panorama and Tpresented in its ensemble Word painting gives but a feeble notion of it, because the simultaneity of the incidents is lost. Thus, if I say that the uasm Bazonka and Circassians are battering doors and shutters with the butt-ends ot their musketo, slashing window-frames -to pieces with their yataghans, blowing off locks with their revolvers, throwing the contents of house and Bhop into the street, stdl it is only two or three houses that the reader pictures to himself, while what I want to describe is going on on both sides of th way all down the main street of Elena, which is a good deal more than mile long. In the byways, too, so far as they lend them selves to such work, the depredators are at work howling and hooting, drunk wiui the joys of spoliation and red-hot with the excitement of destruction. It had been intended to take precau tions to prevent the sack of the town by irregulars. Three companies were to have been told off to protect the spoil from the hands of those who had done nothing to entitle them to participation in the loot ; but in the excitement of the victory it was not carried out, and thus the irregulars are securing for themselves or recklessly waisting, the great bulk of the booty. I was in so soon after the troops that when I went up the street it was comparatively empty. Ou a little, bridge over a rivulet which crosses one end of the town lay three Russians ueau, and the way was almost barred by a dead horse lying still harnessed to a broken f ourgon ; but as I went on JJie Bashis, came rushing past and soon the street was filled. Shop after shop was burst open. Now a grocer's, from which skins andbladders filled with cheese and Rus sian butter were thrown into the street ; here sugar was the attraction, and the Bashis thrust the white sugar lumps by handsfnl into their breastB and Into the folds of their turbans, and when they were stuffed, scattered the rest about the street. It must have been a Bulgarian f east day yesterday, for in all the grocers' and bakers' shops there was holiday cake, upon which the Bashis pounced with childish delight. Now a draper's shop was tapped, and the yarns and rougher goods were thrown out to be trampled under foot, while the long yards of calico and cloths were dragged forth, the pillagers chopping off with their yataghans such lengths as they could secure. From the vintners the casks of wiue were rolled into the street and tb3 heads' stove in, bottles were hurled into the air and came smashing dowu among the crowd by the score From time to time a troop of scared pigs would come rushing into the street, hounded out of their styes by the side currents of the looters. Then there was a shout and a chase, and the poor beasts were bay oneted or shot by rifles and revolvers recklessly fired amid the crowd. Before a silk store lay an old Bulgar, shot through the chest, lying as he fell, and a little further, laid out stiff and BtraigLt under the projecting front of a cook's shop, was the body of a Russian, clau in Bhirt aud drawers, clean and "line c texture, apparently the remains of nif, civil functionary.
