Apr. -4t, SYRUP THE GJIAY GHOST, It was a wild night, tho snow blowing in great, shapelesa drifts ubout tho houso, tho wind roaring down tho chimney and rattling among tho ico coated branches of tho great elms outslda with n sharp, continuous sound iiko tho nolso of musketry. Within, tho flro had burned low, and tho long, white curtains at tho windows, looking strangely weird and unfamiliar in tho dim light, shivered and trembled as If, in somo occult way, they wcroln silent sympathy with tho spirit of tho storm. Do Wolf, who had been unmoved by tho tremendous uproar of the elementu, went on with his story. "It was on a night not unllko this," ho said, "when I left Boston to stayn fow days with Earlo Russell at Gllsum. You remember him at Ynlo a very good follow, but with a penchant for missions. Ho had married and settled down ns pastorof a llttlocouutry church. Tho wonder is that ho did not go to Nova Zcmbla or Central Africa, but jicr haps his wlfo saved him from that. Howovcr, ho had found a mission at Gilsum, and as his wifo had gone on to New York to spend a week with her sister, Russell invited mo to keep bach elor's hall with him during her absence. Well, wo wero having a cozy tlmo of It together, when, ono night, just ns wo had settled ourselves In front of tho library Are, with our cigars and news papers, a boy drovo up to tho door in an old, unpainted sleigh, and announced that ono of Russell's parishioners, an. old man who lived In an outlying dis trict, was dying, and wanted to seo tho minister. Of courbo, Russell prepared to obey tho summons nt once, and ho did not return till midnight. When ho camo in, his hands were etilT with tho colli, and his ears were half frozen, but thero was a glow on his face, ns ho throw of! his overcoat and camo forward to tho lire, which was something more than simplo satisfaction nt being safely housed again. I actually belicvo ho did not know whether his hands were cold or not. " 'Well,' ho exclaimed, with a bright sfhilo, 'I havo seen ono inoro happy soul start on its long journey. You've no idea, Da Wolf,' ho went on, 'how it takes away tho fear of death, if you over had it, to seo a good man die. It is such a simplo thing, after all, and it is wonder ful how 6liuply theso people look at such' matters. When I entered tho houso tho old man was lying with his eyes closed, but ho looked up and smiled as I took his hand hi mine. " ' "You nro ready and willing to go, nro you, deacon?" I asked, as his eyes met mine. " 'Tho old man half raised himself on his elbow and replied in a low whisper: Wal, to tell tho raal truth, elder, I'd rather btay where I'm better ac quainted. You sec, I've got used to things here, an' I don't know as I caro about making any change. But the Lord knows best, and I'm willing yes, I'm willing." When tho end camo his old faco bright ened into a beautiful smile.' "Two days after I went with my friend to attend tho old man's funeral. About six miles out, wo drovo up to a lonely farm houso nnd alighted. Tho short, im pressivo bervico was soon over, but it was already growing dark when wo turned our horso'B head homeward. "It had been snowing in light, fitful gusts all tho afternoon, but when the sun went down tho wind rose, and wo found ourselves obliged to faco a beating, driv ing storm. Tho soft, treacherous snow flakes had changed to sleet, that was hurled at us as if with somo fiendish In tent. It was impossiblo to keep our eyes open, and Russell, holding tho reins in his hand from force of habit, trusted to Providenco uud tho liorsu and hid his faco in his coat collar. In spito of the storm, however, wo should probably havo reached homo safely if, at a turn hi tho road, wo had not encountered a party coming in tho opjiosito direction. Tho two horaes, coming thus unexpectedly upon each other, becamo frightened and quite unmanageable. What happened to the occupants of tho other sleigh 1 never had tho graco to inquire, but Rus sell aud I wero both thrown out, and be fore wo could regain our feet our horso had disappeared. Fortunately or unfor tunately, as it may appear, tho accident had occurred in front of tho house of one of RusseU'j friends. Tho good gentle man hastened to our assistance and in sisted upon our coming into tho house. "As wo wero thoroughly chilled, and coveted witli snow from head to foot, wo willingly consented. Wo wero ush ered into a brightly lighted parlor, where a young lady, who beemed to me, in my possibly somewhat dazed condi tion, an enchanting vision of loveliness, camo forward to meet us. I mado Borne incoherent remark which I am thankful to have forgotten, us 1 have a very defi nite imprebsion as to its absurdity; tho young lady, who woro u blue dress, and had very bright eyes, laughed merrily, uud then left the room to order hot lem onade. The storm continued to increase in violence, and our host finally per buaded us to accept Ids hospitality for tho night. "I havo no very distinct recollection of how tho ovening passed, but at 10 o'clock wo wero bhown to our respective rooms. Mine was on the ground floor, aud as 1 did not feel inclined to go to sleep, I throw mybelf on a loungo before a blazing wood lire and gave myself up to a succession of pleasant dreams, in which, I am proud to confess, a young lady in a bluo drebs played the most im portant part. "I had lain there tioout two hours, wi that it must havo been near midnight, -when I noticed, for tho first time, that kho storm was over, and that a few straggling rays of moonlight wero streaming in through the window, mak ing strange, fautastlu shadows on the wall and lloor, "I had neglected lo draw tho curtain, and as I looked up I was confronted by u face pressed closo against tho window, and staring in at mo with expressionless, pafo bluo eyes. "It was tho fate of tho man that I had been but A fow hours before in his colli u, Thero wm tho same softly curling gray hair, the same closely cut gray beard, and even tho samo odd scar over tho left oyebrow, Features and expression wero alike Identical. Inexpressibly shocked, I rose to my feet, but as I up. proached tho window, the figure re treated step by Btop. Ho was dressed in o long, gray garment that fluttered in tho wind aud took on strange slmpcs as tho shifting light of tho moon fall upon its soft folds or left them in shadow, "I am ready to admit that I was startled, but as there was nothing really frightful in tho appearance of my Btrango visitor, I raisod tho window and ad dressed him with careful politeness. " 'Well, sir,' I asked, 'what Is your wish?' "My question met with no response, but theflguro raised his hand, pointed to his Hps and then seemed to beckon uio toward him, Tho window was a low one, and I leaped out, but as I landed In tho jmow, tho figure turned, and with one wild gesture, ran. I started In pur suit. A few rods from the house, upon the other side of the street, was on old Kravojatdj Ijg broken suafts and head Tones plainly uTscefhThTo In the" moon light "'For a moment I stood still, nwed by tho silent majesty of tho scene. "Above nie roso tho Bky, like tho domo of some spacious temple, its sapphlro roof supported on every sido by pillars of cloud, whito like marble, or purple in tho distanco like porphyry. "Just opposite tho houso was a gap In tho fenco which surrounded tho deserted burial place, and my ghostly visitor at onco showed his familiarity with his surroundings by turning his steiM toward tho only placo whero one could gain ad mittance. "I hurried after him, but ho was Hoot of foot, and as the tall figure of tho old man glided in and out amongst the broken grave stones ho seemed of no more substantial essence than a slim, gray Bhadow driven by tho wind. "Onco I came so closo to him that I put my hand to lay hold of his robe, but my foot slipped upon a piece of Ice, and I fell prostrate across a grave. "A strange, discordant laugh fell upon my ear. I rose to my feet. Tho tall,' gray flguro was just byond, still beck oning with its weird white hand, through which tho palo light of tho moon seemed to shine. "I made ono. moro effort and dashed forward recklessly, conscious of nothing but that dim, shadowy figure, forover eluding, forover mocking mo. "Suddenly the ground beneath my feet gave way. I felt myself falling through space. All around mo was darkness a darkness so absolute, so dense that I tried to grasp it as I fell in an unreason ing effort to lay hold of something solid and substantial. "Byn quick instinct I perceived that I had fallen through tho top of somo ruin ous old tomb. I groped wildly in tho darkness, felt tho damp brick walls that 6hut mo in, tho stone Bteps slimy with mold, and saw far abovo me, through tho opening hi tho roof, n whito face, distorted with laughter, peering down at mo. In vain I tried to scalo the wall; then I felt blindly for tho door, every faculty absorbed in one wild idea of escape. Tho molting snow oozed through tho broken walls and fell upon my head. I was knee deep in water, and plunging about in a fruitless effort to find tho door, vaguely conscious all tho whilo that I was not the only occupant of that loathsome place. "At last my hands camo in contact witli cold Iron. "I had found tho door, but could I open it? With tho desperation of de spair I threw myself against it. It yield ed, and I found myself outsido in tho snow. "How I over got back totho houso and to bed I cannot toll. Three weeks after, I woke as from somo fearful dream, and found myself in tho samo room whero I hail fallen asleep after that eventful night. A gentleman whom I recognized as tho villngo physician, and a young lady In a blue dress, sat in front of tho fire, conversing in low tones. "'Why am I here? I asked, and was astonished to find my voice so weak and thread liko. For an instant I had an im pression that I, too, had becomo a ghost, in which caso I should probably frighten tho young lady who sat by tho fire. "But sho looked up and answered, quietly: 'Do not talk, or you will bo ill again. You havo been very sick, but you are better now. You must get well.' " 'I will get well,' I remarked, idiot ically, 'if you will go on sitting thero by tho fire." "Then I fell asleep, nnd when I woko again I was strong enough to recount the) incidents of tho night preceding my ill ness, and to listen to an explanation of my remarkable experience." "Ahl then thero was an explanation, after all. It was an hallucination sim ply brain fever in an incipient state?" "Not at all," said Do Wolf. "My friends followed my footsteps through tlio snow, found tho broken tomb, and, well yes, captured tho ghost." "Ah, tho ghostl" "Yes. It happened that tho man who had died had a twin brotiier who was a deaf muto and harmlessly insane. Ho had wandered away from his liomo, and b.ut for kindly hands who found and res cued him would no doubt havo become a veritable ghost on that eventful night." "-Mid tho youug lady in tho bluo dnss?" "Do Wolf ran his lingers through his white hair and laughed. "Aro you acquainted with Miss Clara Wright?" "Clara Wright! My own cousin, and thu spent last winter in Gilsum. I see it all now. She wroto mo only last week that sho had just becomo engaged. And you mo tho man?" sho added, witli a sud den Hash of inspiration. "I belicvo I am," replied Do Wolf, lowing; "and I can assuro you, madam, that I am not insensible of the honor." Fletcher Rcedo in Harper's Bazar. The "Spring I'tver." I havo had many people ask mo for a remedy for tho ills which usually visit tho human body in tho spring, causing tho well known complaint of "spring fever." My experience lias been that tho best euro for this malady Is plenty of healthful and invigorating outdoor exer cise. Tho most pleasant of theso is horse back riding. When one is on a trotting horse, which I prefer, every muscle is brought into play and exercised. Thero aro other outdoor amusements which nro equally beneficial. There is ono pre valent form of pastime which I consider injurious, nnd that is bicycling. When ono is astride a wheel ho is bent forward, and, I am convinced, is placed in a jiosl tion which has n tendency to contract tho chest. This Is, of co.urse, exactly the opposite effect to bo desired or expected from outdoor amusements. St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Artliti' Cunvu..

That Mako Sail Morlr. Speaking to an old bank cashier the other day, I asked him whether there was not an enormous amount of property lying unclaimed in bank cellars nnd in safo deposit vaults. "A very large amount," Bald lie, "but not nearly as much as somo people im agine. When property is placed in charge of a bank or a safo deposit com pany it is generally put thero by people of pretty strict business habits, and a careful record is kept, not only by the depositor, but also by tho parties into whose charge it is given. That reduces the chance of valuables being overlooked, but still a very large quantity does ro main unclaimed. All tho custodians of such property can do Is to preserve it In tact nnd hope for its redemption in the course of time." "Is thero n limit to such a time?" I asked. "Legally thero may bo, but I am not prepared to say what it is, since every caso lias to bo settled upon ite own mer its. Sometimes tho boxes which liave been regarded for a long timo as contain ing valuables turn out to be mere collec tions of rubbish, mid the wonder Is why they wero ever preserved. But n bank official never expresses surpriso, tiecauso ho meets so many peculiar people and his wholo timo is occupied in keeping things straight." "But surely a list is kept of tho con tents of packages left on deiiosit?" "When desired, yes; but when a sealed parcel or box is deposited tho bank does exactly what common carriers do; sign, 'Contents unknown,' nnd unknown they remain, whether delivered to the owner or awaiting reclamation. Of course; every place of deiiosit has stories to tell about my6tcrious boxes, strango parcels and odd packages which havo been lying in secure corners of their strong rooms for years, but I am inclined to think that as far as banks and safe deposit com panies aro concerned, tho vast bulk of such property is redeemed soon or later. Lawyers nowadays aro very apt to dig up every possiblo form of claim to valu ables of any Description in tho hands of public bodies, and a very faint clew is sufficient to btart them off upon a biic cessful hunt. They often eomo upon ricli possessions while searching for wills, and tho first places, a f ter counsel's offices, they start for, aro tho banks aud safo do posits." Tho desiro to hoard in somo form or an other is u very widespread one, and every one could enumerate among friends and acquaintances a considerable number in whom tho hoarding spirit is distinguish able. Tho difficulty of accumulating is as often rewarded by loss us by posses sion, but tho kuowledgo of that fact does not diminish tho desiro to hoard. In the caso of a miser, to whoso heir tho accu mulated property goes, tho very opposite motives aro found to exist. Tho miser shudders nt tho idea of his coveted pos sessions falling into other hands than his own, even when those hands aro merely a bun Jlo of dry bones, whilo tho heir is all eagerness to clutch tho property in order to disperse it. Miserly habits, if they over prove to bo hereditary, only becomo fully developed with ago and a certain kiud of experi ence, although a sort of avariciousness may always bo traced in tho progeny of ono who has hoarded. It does not al ways tako tho form of grasping for wealth, but, as often ns not, takes bhapo in a desiro for superiority of position, power of dictation or uncommon popu larity. tiii: miser's way. It is your miser who rummages out a placo of hiding, to avoid any of those things ho loved so well on earth being handled, oven by those legally and equi tably entitled to what ho is compelled to leave behind him. Tho hiding of treas ure by a mere miser does not long re main a mystery, because if his habitation is carefully .searched it will surely bo found. Ho could not in lifo boar to bo far away from it. and in his last mo ments it is morally certain it wa3 tho thing his fingers with their clammy toucli turned over before ho said good by to it forever.

Tho teacher who can extract an an swer from ti dullard and draw a dolt from tho dunce's block into tho scholar's Beat has tha rarest gift for his vocation. Mr. J, T. Trowbridge, in an essay ou "Tho American Boy," published in Tho North American Review, tells the story of a schoolmistress' success in drawing out tho latent genius of an intractable pupil. Nobody had been ablo to do anything with him. Punishment had no effect; appeals to his prido and notes to his mother wero unavailing. Tlio teacher studied tho boy, watching him closely that blio might find tho key to his char acter. Ono day sho saw him catch a fly. His dull countenance lighted up, while with tho keenest interest ho for fifteen min utes examined tlio bisect. Tho teacher had discovered ono road to tlio bov's mind. ' P "Boys," said sho not long after, "what can you tell mo about flies?"' Tho brightest bovn rnnlil ti.Il row I if- I tie.

Ho forgot his indifference, and becamo eloquent in describing tho , wings, feet, eyes, head and habits of tho ny. doui icacner unu scliolars wero astonished. Tho teacher saw tho bent of his genius and put looks of natural history into ills hands. Then sho led him by degrees to bco tho necessity of preparing himself t or his favorite pursuit by learning some thing of grammar, geography and mathe matics.
