BLOOMSBURG, PA., FRIDAY, MAY 31,1889.
SOME grocers arc so short sighted as to decline to keep the
"Ivory Soap," claiming it docs not pay as much profit as in
ferior qualities do, so if your regular grocer refuses to get it for you,
there arc undoubtedly others who recognise the fact that the in
creased volume of business done by reason of keeping the best
articles more than compensates for the smaller profit, and will take
ple.-surc in getting it for you.
A WORD OF WARNING.
There are many white soaps, each represented io be "just as good ss the ' Ivory' ;"
they ARE NOT, but like all counterfeits, lack the peculiar and remarkable qualities if
the genuine, risk for " Ivory" Soap and Insist upon getting it.

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

"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."

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

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 misantliroiK) who dreads to trust
his fellow man, and is distrustful of him
self, is a great factor among tho creators
of unclaimed property. Even when
making a will, ns a soit of liosthumous
expression of liato toward humanity ho
places it in somo spot whero not even a
lawyer can find it. When his bones have

"Tho American Boy," published in Tho

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-

asm was kindled by something going on
in school. 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
