"Now, Florence, tell mo what really occurred." "Yes, father," answered she. "This ishat lmppeued: About hnlf-past flvo o'clock Susan came into tho sitting-room to cany away tho tea-tray, nnd sho says that bIio saw a lady bending ovor the davenport which stands unused in tho corner, seemingly trying to opou it. At first, though startled, Susan thought tho lady was n visitor whom I had brought in, ns X was then in tho gardon; but when tho intruder perceived that thoro was somo ono looking at her sho gavo a scream, drow a veil over her faoo, and lied out at tho window, which was wido opon. Thero really must havo been somebody thero, father. What could sho want?" "How can I tell?" returnod Mr. Arlington, and his daughter thought ho was disturbed by this unusual incident. Yet sho was very suro that ho was not a beliover in ghosts. On roaching tho houso Susan was called and questioned. Tho old servant was still in a great stato of excitomcnt. The lady was "deadly palo," sho assev erated, "with largo, hollow oyes, and screamed beforo vanishing." "Como, conic, Susan; sho ran out on tho lawn, didn't sho? That was not vanishing," ro'nrucd Mr. Arlington. Hut Susan was pen-inleiit about the vauishiug, aud doipito her master's injunctions, ihu whole ill.ige, ay resi dents far hoytmd tho village, soon heard of tho Laurel Oottngo ghost; nnd amongst others, Mr. Cecil Lauton Sir lierlram Lauton's heir. "I will tell you what, undo," said tho young man; "if tho ghost is tronblo soino I shall mako acquaintance with Mr. Arlington, aud ofl'er my sorvices in laying tho spirit. Ono ought to help ouo's neighbor iu such a crisis." "My dear boj-, Mr. Arlington cau hardly bo called a noighborj ho lives at least a dozen miles off, you know," said the uncle. "All tho same, I should liko to trap his ghost for him," rejoined Cecil. It was tho beginning of April when the rumor of the ghost at Laurel Cot tage was first spread abroad. Toward tho end of this month this rumor was confined in an extraordinary manner. Flo was in tho sitting-room alono just as it was getting dusk; sho had just como down stairs, and was going to writo a lotter, when something brushed by her in tho gloom, and beforo sho recovered from her alarm, sho saw rt dark-robed figure fly from tho apartment. By tho time tho young lady regained her presenco of mind and pursuod her straugo visitor, no traco or sound of her could boseon. "Who can it bo, father?" said Flor ence, almost in tears. "Iam afraid to bo in tho houso now without you." "I am puzzled too, my dear child," replied Mr. Arlington. "Does Susan know of this ?" "Yes, father; fori was startled, and callod out, and ran toward the kitchen. I am afraid Susan will tell everybody, ns bIio did before." I Florenco was right in her conjeeturo in a day or two all tho world around Laurel Cottago had heard of tho re appenrnnoo of tho "ghost" 1 Cecil Lauton was now determined to do something to unravel tho mystery; so ho begged a friend of his, living not two miles from Laurel Cottago, to tako him in for a day or two; ho also begged tho said friend to introduco him to Mr, and Miss Arlington. "Ah, tako caro what yon aro about there, Lauton," said tho friend. Tho Arliiiglous aro charming pooplo, but as poor as church niico. Miss Arlington is a beauty, and seventeen take care what yon dot" Of courso Cecil laughed, and was not dotertcd from naming the introduction ho sought. "I want to find tho ghost," Raid ho; "I don't want to fall in lovo with Miss Arlington." "Well, I'll introduce you after ohnroh to-morrow," was tho answer. Thus it happened that noxt day, which was Sunday, tho desired introduction took place; and so.ncthing else, quite un looked for ou Mr. Coed Linton's part occurred also, for ho foil in lovo ut first sight with tho fascinating girl, who lifted hor bluo oyes to his, und whoso swoet voieo (at her fathor's bidding) oxpluined to him about tho "gho3t." Yes, it was all over with Cecil Lauton from that hour. Ho had met his fato, aud soon grow to worship tho very ground sho walked on. And Florenco was very happy ; sho did not ask her self how her love-dicara would end ; but sho had a fixed idea that it could not end happily, as eho had heard Sir llertram spoken of as boing very wealthy, and Cecil was, his hoir. No matter, Sho would havo this romem. brauco to live on whon when Cecil went away or married another. Tho month of May had grown toward tho end o( its third week, but desplto nil Mr, Cecil Lauton's watohiug for tho ghost, it novcr appeared. Aud by this time Mr, Avhm'tou had begun to think that if all tho rooms iu his cottago had each their supernatural visitor, it would bo better than to h.ivo this ono driton from its haunt at tho price of Flo' hap piness. Ho would havo to iutimuto to tho young man that ho oolild not como thcro so often iu fact, that it would bo expedient to discoutimio his visits, his daughter being so very young, and without a motlie,r. , Flo's father sighed bitterly to himself as ho mentally docldcd this; and his thoughts traveled back over his own life. Onoo ho had loved, and lost his lovo solely on account of his own poverty; was tho Bamo fato lo pursue his child? Yes; tho girl ho had worshipped had married for gold, and left him to his poverty 1 Sho had beeomo n very great lady, and was now n widowed countess ( widowed nnd woalthy and childless. Ho wondcrod if sho was moderately I happy I And thon ho sighed from tho depths of his soul. Ho had novcr in- j tended to marry after this cruel desor tiou; yet ho hail done sobecauso chanoo had rovcalcd to him that n lovoly orphan j had becomo devotedly attached to him. It was thus that ho had been induced to oher his hand to tho gcntlo lady who had been Florenco's mother, and whor died fully eight years beforo. I It was ou tho very noxt day after his j soliloquy that Florenco camo slowly i across tho lawn nttaehed to their small dwelling (it wai about half-past seven ' in tho evening), aud sho was about to enter tho sittiug room through tho window, when hor alarmed oyes caught tho view of a shadowy figure bcudiug over tho davenport in tho corner. Florenco drow n quick breath, sup pressed a cry, and, determined to ascer tain tho truth, mado a step within tho long window. "Who aro yon? Why do yon como here?" faltered tho frightenod girl. Tho flgtiro at tho desk smothered an exclamation of fear and sped to tho door, which, however, sho found locked; for Susan, tcrriflod lest tho ghost should reappear, would fain havo closed door and window in her master's absence; but Florenco had enjoined her to leavo tho .window opon this lovely evening, so eho had eontentod herself with closing tho door of tho sitting room. This way of retreat thus cnt off, tho "ghost" stoppod short, attempted to pass tho lady of tho house, but Floronco was too quick for her, intercepting tho path, and hastily closing tho window, for tho girl regained her courage as sho perceived that tho intruder looked ter rified and sad, and-was trembling from head to foot, "Who aro yon? Why do yon como hero?" repeated Florence, in an un steady voico. It was difficult for her to imagine that tho graceful, willowy form and pale, beautiful faco of tho intruder belonged to a thief, and certainly thoy wore not those of a ghost ' Hush I hush I have pity on me. Do not betray mo 1" implored tho other. " liolray you 1" echoed Florence. "I must ask what you moan, Who are you?" "Who aro youl" replied the lady, in ft low, agitated voice, which was yet full of melody. Florenco's heart was fast melting toward her unexpected guest. " Who am I ?" said tho girl. "I live hero. I am Florenco Arlington. Do you know my father ?" "Oncol did T'exelaimed tho stranger, sinking on her knees. "Oh, Florenoo let mo call you so has your fathci nover spoken to you of Ethel Lano?" "Nover, that I remomber," replied tho wondering Florence. "Nor of Lady Lillington?" "I havo heard that Lady Lillington bos bought a houso in this neighborhood that is all I know of her," answered Florence, wondering moro and more. "I was Ethel Lano now Iam Count ess of Lillington tho woman whom your father first loved aud who has always loved him. Florenco, I have como hero to ascertain if ho has quite forgotten me. If ho has not I will venture all; I will lot him understand that I havo nover forgotten him 1" By this timo Florenco's heart wai beating fast and sho strotohod out hoi hands to Lady Lillington, though Bhe could not speak nt this moment Ah, now sho comprdioudod tho moaning oi ono or two remarks her mother had lei fall from her dying lips relativo to hoi father. " Ho has made mo so happy! Ho hat been always so tender and so noble, though I was not tho woman he loved.' Sho had learnod tho sad romance it tho life of her dear fathor, just as she had begun torcalizo that tho romance ot her own lifo would bo sad; for sho could novcr hope to marry Cecil Lauton sho had heard that his nuolo was a stickler for his own dignity and for wealth on both sido3 of an engagod couplo, or poverty on both sides ; that mado tho match equal. Even if Cocil over declared tho lovo which shono in his eyes, how could sho accept it, when it might bring him to poverty ? But ho would go away aud nover dcolaro it "Speak to mol Do not turn against mo I" entreated Lady Lillington, and then tho next moment Florenco was weeping in her arms. It was somo timo beforo she grew com posed onough to quostiou Lady Lilling ton about what sho wished to get out of tho davenport "Florenoo, that will settlo tho ques tion 1" was tho reply. "Your fathor told mo eighteen years ago, when ho was but twenty-throo, aud I not quito your ago, that ho loved mo so fondly that oven my desortion would not quito kill his lovo that ho would guard forovor a littlo wator-oolor I had given him, a likeness of mysolf. 'Seo hero,' ho said ; I put it hero, Ethol, und thoro it shall dtay till it is buried with mo or till I joyfully plaeo it where my oyes can quickost meet it upon our wedding day. Florouoo, is it tlmo now? If so, it is a gago that ho loves mo still ; if not, I duro not ask him tn forgivo tho past, and to share my fortune I" "And this is why yon oamol" cried Florouco, throwing her arms around Lady Lillington. It was ogrood between tho loving confederates that the countess should pay ono moro visit to Laurel Cottago for the purposo of ascertaining whether tho shabby littlo davouport contained her likeness; but that this timo Florenco should loud her aid by obtaining tho key of tho csontoiro, and by admitting her herself to tho sitting-room early ono morniug, long beforo any ol tho inmates of tho cottago woro astir, Mr. Arliugtou was to bo absent for rt couplo of days in the begiuningof tho I onsuiug week ; that was the timo selected lor the trial. Tho day dawned which was to havo I gram received unexpectedly caused him to defer his journey. Thero was no possibility of lotting tho countess know of this chaugo of plans, but Flotouco strengthened herself with lcllucthig that bo long bofoio breakfast her father would not bo down stairs. Very softly tho girl deseouded very gently she unfastened tho long shutters to admit Lady Lillington, who camo in, her feet all wet with (low, "Havo you tho key, my darling Florenco ?" whispered thojagitatod lady. "Hero I hero I" whispered back tho excited Floronco ; "nud tho portrait is thcro I havo searched I" Hardly had sho spoken tho words when tho door unclosod, and Michael Arlington, hor father, walkod in. Somo restless memory had kopt him wakeful ; ho had delected tho noise of Florenco's opening door ; imagining that some thing was tho matter, ho had gone to his daughter's room and found it empty, then ha had followed down stairs, and had como faco to faco with Ethel, his lost love. With ono faint cry tho latter had thrown herself into Florence's arms. "Father I oh, father, sho loves you so I" said tho young girl, disengaging herself from Lady Lillington, and steal ing from tho room. All tho country was soon afterward elcctiitiod by hearing that Mr. Michael Arlington was goiug to marry tho still lovely Countess of Lillington, and that Mtas Arlington and tho countess were inseparable. It was in tho loveliest glade of Lilling ton Park that Cecil L.tuton told his talo of affection to the happy Florenco ; nor had tho lovers anything now to fear from Sir Bertram's refusal to consent to their bridal, for it is a wholly different thing to wed tho daughter of a man who has just married a very wealthy widow, holding a high position in soccity, from that which is involved by wodding tho child of a penniless man. Only to Cecil, and under promiso of secrecy to Susan, was tho solution of tho ghost story revealed ; but it was many a day beforo tho villago folks ceased to declare that Laurel Cottago was haunted.

This cemetery is in George town, which is technically rt part of Washington, and is four or fivo miles as tho crow llics from tho Congressional Cemetery. t Here lies tho body of Chief Justico Chase. No mau, so honored in life was over moro neglected in death. When ho diod ho owned not a foot of ground suitablo for his burial place, nor did his daughter, Mis. Kato Chaso Spraguo, buy it for him.

At last curiosity moved some one to open tho box, and it was dis covered to hold this memorial stone. It was then forwardod, aud oertain per sons, rather than apply to Mrs. Spraguo for monoy, paid out of their own pockets tho small cost of puttiug tho stone in position.

I was sur- nrised ono dav in tho White House to bee Senator Edmunds take out a pack age of line cut ehewing tobacco and put a good-sized quid in h'w mouth. I thought that must bo due to tho order said to havo been issued by tho Presi dent prohibiting smoking in the Whito House, isut upon inquiry i louuu uuii, tho report about such an order havjng been issued was a fiction. Smoking goes on in the "White Houso tho sarao as over. It was duo to tho force of habit lhat Mr. EdtnundB look out his tobacco pouch, as ho is an inveterate chuwer. On inquiry I found that of tho ecventy-six Senators fourteen chow tobacco and fiftj -eight uso it in one form or another, while ot tlie aao mem- be of the House oiily a fe'f abstain wholly from tobacco.

Mr. Vest was formerly a confirmed smoker and cheiver, but aftir a tevcro illness and on advice of a physician ho Is said to have abandoned the use of tobacco. The other Senators who do not use tobacco in any form are Aid rich, Blair, Colquitt, Dawes, Dolph, Hoar. Joucp. of Nevada; McMillan, Miller, Mitchell, of Oregon ; Pike Plum Teller, Van Wyck and Payne. Mr. Ingalls smokes on raie occasions. Mr. Hale, after the exhilaration of a good iliniK r, indulges in a cigar. Mr. Cullom once in a while at 8 dinner party or somo other focinl gathering, Binokes a cigar, and then complains for Beveral das of the bad effect. Mr. Hoar form erly used tobacco, but ho has abandon ed the habit. Mr. lllair puts tobacco, liquors of all kinds nnd all other things behind him. Mr. Etihtis has tho dis tinction ol being tho only member of the Seualo who smokes cigarettes. As ho 8pends much of bis timo in tho cloak room Mnoking, bo must consume many cigarettes in tho courso of a day.
