The New York ■Presbyterian of late date re
lates this atopy:
We were returning from onr spring meeting
of Presbytery—one gentleman and two young
ladies —in a “ rocknway,” and the road none the
best. Night, cold a'nd damp, overtook us eight
or ten miles from home, but only a short.dis
tance .from Judge Blank's who, after we had ar
rived at his bouse, narrated the following unique
tale. Said the Judge as follows: “Years ago
we had in our house a sweet little child, about
four years of age, and the object, of course, of
a very tender affection. But sickness laid its
hand upon it. Remedies, promptly resorted to,
all proved in vain. Buy after day .the rose fa
ded the cheek, uud the fire in the eyes
burned low; and at length death closed those
eyes and sealed those lips forever; and we
learned by trying experience how intense dark
ness follows the quenching of one of those little
lights of life.
The time rolling sadly on, brought us at
length to the hour appointed for committing our
treasure to tho ordinary custody of the grave.
The friends assembled, tho customary services
were held,, the 'farewell taken, and the little
form securely shut beneath tho well-screwed
coffin-lid, and in due form the grave received its
trust. AVe looked oh afid saw the earth thrown
in, the mound rnised above, and the plates of
sod neatly adjusted into a great sheltering roof,
and then wended our way back to our desolate
home. Evening came on and wore away. My
wife hod gone into an adjoining room to give
some directions to\a servant, and I, unfitted by
the scene of tho day for aught else; had just laid
my head on my pillar; in our room upon the first
floor of tho bouse, when I beard a shriek, and
in a moment more, my wile came flying into tho
room, and springing upon tho bod behind me
exclaimed :
“See there! our child ! our child!”

A THRILLING GHOST STORY.
XHB DB AD CHILD’S GHOST,
“ Raising my head, my blood froze within
me and the hair upon my bead stood up as I
saw the little thing in grave clothes, with open
but manifestly sightless eyes,-and pale as when
we gave it the lust kiss, walking slowly toward
us. Had I been alone—had not the extreme
terror of my wife compelled me to play the man,
1 should have leaped from the window and bed
without pasting a look behind.
“ But not daring to leave her in such a ter
ror, I arose, sat down in a chair, and took the
little creature between my knees—a cold sweat ,
covered my body—rand gazed with feelings un
utterable upon the object before mo. The eyes
were, open in a vacant stare. The flesh was
colorless, cold and clammy ; nor did the child
appear to have the power of either speech or
bearing, as it made iio attempt to answer any
of our questions. The horror of our minds was
the more intense as, we had watched our child
through its sickness and death, and had been
hut a few hours before eye witnesses of its in
terment. ■
“ While gazing upon it, and asking in my
thoughts, ‘What can this extraordinary provi
dence mega? for what can it bo sent f’ the ser
vant girl, having crept to the door, after a time,
suggested, it looks like 51v». -t ,s <hild. .

“ Now our neighbor had a child about the
same age as ours, and its constant companion.
But what could bring it to our home at that
hour and in such a plight ? Still the suggestion
had operated ns a sedative upon our excited
feelings, and rendered us more capable of enlm
reflection. And, after a time, ere discovered in
truth, that the grave clothes were night clothes,
and the corpse, a somnambulist. And it became
manifest that the excitement attending the loss
and burial of its playmate, working upon the
child's mind in sleep, was the cause to which ,we
were indebted for this untimely visit.
Wiping away the perspiration, and taking a
few long breaths, I prepared to countermarch
the little intruder back to its forsaken bod.—
Back we went, it keeping at my side, though,
still asleep. It had walked quite a distance
across the wet grass. I found the door ajar,
just as the fugitive had left it, and its sleeping
parents unconscious of .its absccnco. ' The door
creaked as I pushed it open, uud awakened the
child who looked wildly around a moment, and
iben popped into bed.
“ Now, if it had not been for my wife, as I
have said, 1 should, on the appearance of this
apparition, have made a leap of uncommon
agility from that window f and after a flight of
uncommon velocity for a person of my age and
dignity, I should have been ready to take*my
oath in any court, either in Christendom or
heathendom, that I had seen,a ghoht.”
A. LAUGHABLE STORY.
The Mobile Register is responsible for the
following mirth-provoking incident:
For twenty-three years, old JakeWilliard has
cultivated the soil of Baldwin county, and drawn
therefrom a support for himself and wife, lie
is childless.. Not long ago Jake left the bouse
in search of a missing caw. His route led him
through an old worn out patch of clay land, of
about- six acres in extent, in the centre of which
was a well, twenty-live or thirty feet deep, that
at some time probably bad furnished the inmates
of a dilapidated house near by with water. - la
passing by this spot, au ill wind lifted Jake's
> tile’ from his head, and maliciously wafted it
to the edge of the well, and iu it tumbled.
Now, Jake had|al\vays practised-the virtue of
economy, and he Immediately set about recover
ing his hat. He ran to the well, and finding it
was dry at the bottom, he uncoiled the rope
which he Lad brought for the purpose of captur
ing the truant cow, and after several attempts
to catch the bnt with a uqosc, he concluded to
save time by going down into the well himself,
lb accomplish this, he made fast one end of the
rope to a stump hard by, and was quickly on his
way down the well.
It is a fact, of which Jake was no less oblivi
ous than the reader thereof, that Ned Wells hap
pened to bo in the old dilapidated building
aforesaid, and that an old blind horse, with a
bell on his neck, who hbd been turned out to
die, was lazily grazing within a short distance
of the well.
The devil himself or some other wicked spirit
put it into Ned’s cranium to a littjle fun,
so he quietly slipped up to the liorse, un
buckling the bell-strap, approached with slow
measured ‘ ting-a-ling’ the edge of the well.
“ Dang that old blind horsed” saifl Jake, "he’s
a-comin’ tills way sure, and ain’t got no more
sense than to fall in here. ll'Aoa, Ball.”
“ But tho continued approach of the" ‘ ting-a
ling’said just as plainly as words that 4 Ball’
wouldn’t whoa. Besides Jake was at the bottom,
resting,' before trying to ‘ shin’ it up the rope.
“ Great Jerusalem,” said he, j “ the old cuss
will be a-top of me before I dan Say Jack Robi
son. ll r Aoa / dang you, whoa."
Just then, Ned drew up to the edge of the
well, and with his foot kicked a little dirt into it.
“Oh, Lord!” exclaimed Jake, falling upon
his knees at the bottom. “ I’m gone now; whoa.
Now I lay me down to sleep— w-h-o-a Ball— l
pray tho Lord my-’soul lo — W-k-o-a .'now.—
Ob! Lord have mercy ou me.”
Ned could hold ini no longer, and fearful that
Jake might suffer from his fright, revealed him
self.
Probably Ned did. not make tracks with his
heels from that well. Maybe Jake wasn’t up
to the top of it in short order, and you. might
think he didn’t try every night for two weeks to
get a shot with his rifle at Ned. Maybe not.—
I don’t know. But I know if Jake finds out
who sent you this, it will bo the-last squib you’ll
get.

which he took occasion to remark on the impro

sermon, Trim ?” ,
“0, yea, your honor, perfectly well, 11 said
the corporal, “and the clergyman; too j ho was
a sedate loqkiog man, and wore spectacles.”
“Well, as I was'saying,” continued my Un

A abort distance from the city of Montgom
ery, in. the estate of Alabama, on one of the
stage roads leading from that city. Uvea a
jolly landlord by the name of Ford. In frit
weather or fonV in hard times or soft, Ford
would hare hisjokb; It was a bitter, 1 stormy
night, or rather morning, about two hoars be*
fore day-break, he was aroused from bis. slum
bers by loud shouting and knocks at his door.
He turned out but sorely against bis will, and
demanded whav was the matter. It was dark
as tar, and as he could see? no one he oried
out:
“ Who afe you. there

The lawyers, for they were fhtto of the smart*

down with fatigue, held a brief consultation,
and then, as they could do no better, and were
too tired to go up other step, the;? asked} _ ;
“ Well can’t yon stable our horse*,and give
us chairs.and a good fire till moraing ?"
‘‘Oh,, yes, gentlemen, can-do that V*
Our learned and legal friends tjrere soon dry
ing their wet clothes by a bright fire, as they
composed themselves, the few remaining honrs,
in their chairs, dozing and' nodding, and now
and then swearing a word or two of impatience,
as they waited till daylight did appear. The
longest night haia morning, and at last the suo
came along, and in due time a good break
fast made its appearance; bnt to the surprise of
the lawyers, who thought the house crowded
with guests, none but themselves sat donate
partake. , ... ' > ...

CRAMPS.
The most terrible of pains, says HalVaJonr
nal of Health, arise front the veins ’ taing-so
full of blood that they swell uut, press against'
the large nerves, and thus impede- the circula
tion of the vital ttnid, la smaller -tierves,. the
distension produces neuralgia, .which ialiterally
“ nerve-ache.” The cause of the onnsnal ful£
ness, of tho veins is that the blood is so. impute,
so thick, so full of disease, that it cannot flow
by nature’s ordinary agencies. In proportion
as-it is thick,'at is cold, and this abnormal state
indicated by the feebleness of the pulse. - la
cholera patients it is very marked, and exists,
days and weeks before the attaok. The follow
ing- simple method of treatment is given
" \yhen a person is attacked with a cramp,
some hot water quietly and &peditionaly 4for
noise and acclamation' of grief tind alarm still
further disturb the nervous equilibrium,) ptft
the sufferer in the witter as completely, 'as possi
ble. and thus beat is imparted .to the blood,’'
which sends it courting along the reins and the
pain is gone. While tho water is in prepara
tion, rub the cramped part yery briskly wlth
the band dr a woolen flannel, with your tnpath
shut! You am rub harder, ; faster, and more
efficiently; because it saves the sufferer from
meaningless and agonizing enquiries. A man
in pain docs not-.want to be talked to ; be wants
relief—not words. If all oould know, aa physi
