They tell me human love is sold— A thing of traffic, bought with gold, And subject to the will. No falsehood this ; and yet I own, There is a love, one love alone, With lustre over bright, It runs through all my changing years, Forsakes me not in smiles and tears, 44,1 fills my soul with light. That love, beyond all other love, Unselfish, pure as heaven above, Is thine, dear mother, thine. What, then, if clouds around me break ! The fount of joy they cannot take From out this heart of mine. Earth's merry throng may pass me by ; Its honors from my grasp may fly, As leaves upon the blast: I care not, if thou lov'st me still; Thy love alone my heart can fill, And hold it to tho last. I'll love thee till my lateAt breath ; I'll love thee when I'm clasped In death ; I'll love thee still on high. While on Lay tide of life shall flow, My hive for thee no end shall know ; "twill never, never die. TILBOtTGIT THE SNOW Mrs. Tubbs—fifty, fat, and frosty, dressed in black satin and flowery cap—comes from her boue.eXceping room (where she has been consulting Betty, ber cook,) into the study of Dr. Tubbs ; her husband, up later than his amiable spouse, breakfasts leisurely, aml rants his letters grimly, on this snowy Christman morning, He is by no means a prepossessing - looking g..ntlernan, though his coat Is superfine and his waistcoat large. "I've ordered Betty," i;z3's Mrs. Tubbs, sinking into a chair, `•to make tile fellow a small suet-dumpling—no plums or currants in it, Dr. Tubbs; and sent it with a rasher of bacon. The tat bacon, Dr. Tubbs ; the bars-like lean I keep for the parlor; for if ushers will stop during the holidays where they ain't wanted, they must take the con sequences." "Of course, my dear," answered Tubbs, pompously, and at the same time winking terribly, (for he has a visional defect which always keeps his eyelids moving.) -Your remark is most judicious. Indeed, if the truth be spoken, even this prudential ar rangement will be unnecessary ; for I think of giving Gray notice at once, and getting rid of hlm this very morning. For—for— this getting-on-rapid system of his will ne ver do. If It conthaties, Mrs. Tubbs, we shall soon cease to be master and iniscress of Goshen House, for here's a letter from Bailey's father, praising his boy's rapid pro gross in arithmetic. Here's another from wigget's uncle to say that Tom's general advance is excellent; and to crown all, here's a third letter, from the Rev. Dr. Pike, canon of Diddlebury cathedral, to say that his grandson's progress in the classics Is re markable (you'll remember, my dear, that there are four of these lads!) and that they've learnt as mach nro,ck and Latin in f N thpr tcnnki taviit i one in three years. Mind this, my dear! Now of course boys getting on this way will soon leave. Instead of having six years out of 'em apiece, two will be enough under slim a plan. There were the fieldings, too ; why did they leave ? Why, that they could draw trees wr.ll when they should have been still in lines and cubes. I've told Gray of all this, times and often but—but,” adds Dr. Tubbs, with pathofic dignity, "he minds me no more than tly,:e who call me, `Old Winker.' He 1 talks about 'moral honesty' and trash of that sort, instead of paying attention to my behests. So, as this is the rase—and it don't do to let boy .' education get on like a eteam engine—l'll dismiss him—and—this very g.rwrilng. True, I must give some equiva lent, as our arrangement was a month's no awa,on eitita ride, and gratis board and lodging dnring i.hc winter vacation. But better a lost pound Si pat this evil should I make farther head." "A pound ! We shall save doutfic gist in the fellow's board. Why !it wants yet five weeks to the end of the vacation, and this— say at ten shillings a week—will be two pounds teu. Go and do it at once, Dr. Tubbs, while I dress for church. And make haste ;eve can drive off, and be spared the nonsense of 'good-byes." On my way up stairs, doctor, I shall countermand the suet-dumpling Not without some little hesitation when his wife's (Tut is off him—for his conscience, seared as it is, points how base his conduct is to one like Robert Gray—Dr. Tubbs draws certain sovereigns and shillings from his privato drawer, and goes forth to the school room, whers by a most economical scrap of fire, sits the gentlemanly usher. His slippered feet are on the hob ; a little pocket "Eseigyhis in his India, a short Sp in his mouth; behind hitlies Ate tvide schoolroom, beyond that th.e bare; wioows and the snowy Yorkshire landscape of wooded heights and barren moors. "Faugh ! smote—smelling like a tavern!" are Dr. Tubb's introductory words ; and then, taking a distant chair, he prr,e -aels to business. It is soon effected—as mot base things are—and to his infinite but secret chagrin, for he expected demur and entreaty, his usher's manner expressed that of relief and release. True, were the pompous pedagogue a reader of human hearts he might have detected one vibration of de relate despair cross the clear, bright manly eye when the first words of dismissal came ; but it is gone like an electric flash, and he sees nothing before him but the serenity of self-reliant manhood. Hurrying over his gruff adieus, pocketing his receipt, am} base ly oblivious of all Gray's noble efforts to in crease his school, which when he had come a year ago was sinking to the verge of ruin, the pompous and shallow pedagogue makes his exit, to go to church—a hollow conven tionalist, not a sincere worshipper. Resolute and brief as young men are, Gray gathers up his few books from off the schoolroom shelves, hastens up stairs, packs his portmanteau, and directs it to the near est railway station ; puts the rest, of his things in a knapsack ; and then, goingdown stairs, lie scatters a few shillings amongst the servants, visits the old yard dog in his kennel, gives one look at the playground where he has passed so many sad and weary hours, and then goes his way, his knapsack on his shoulders, a good oaken stick in his hand. There are some worthy souls to speak to in this primitive York shire village—the parish clerk, the cobbler, the carrier—then he hurries onward with a brisk step toward the moors, which lie so high and far away ; they must be crossed to reach the railway by which he intends to go. Turning by-and-by out of the nwre beaten highway, bp proceeded down a lane `with, high banks and, hedge-rows on either side. It lies deep in snow, though trio:Veiled by recent wheels, and winds away presently to. GETTYSBURG, PA., FRIDAY, JULY 10, 1868. ward woodland and river scenery of ex quisite beauty, though wreathed in snow and crisped by frost. Here isa cottage, old fashioned and substantial, an exquisite gar den round it, and clothed with a glowing pyracanthus. The berries are massed In comnals ; the leaves lie around in beds of richest green. But the windows—et least toward the lane—are shuttered; no one seems keeping Christmas within. But as Robert Gray leans upon the paling, looking toward a little window that now is a bowery with scarlet and green—in sum mer with the myriad waxen trumpets of the yellow jasmine—a man plods by and touches his hat. "If yer a wanting Mr. Watson, Sir," he says, "you won't and him at home to-day. Him and the misses be gone to see their youngest son. Old Tab, the maid, 'a 'timid lug house ; but she's np stairs dressing I dus say now." "Well, Mr. Watson deserves a holiday. Gone for long?" "Not I reckon they'll be home to-mor row. 4iss Marianna, the daughter, ain't wi"em. She's gone to Master Fielding's across the moors, to keep holiday wi' the children. She's a particlar favorite there —a sort o' coosin to th' !Ideals." So saying, Hodge again touches his hat, and proceeds. When the honest fellow is mit of sight, Unity opens the gate gently and steals in.— Then from the before-mentioned bowery window he cuts a spray of pyracanthus with his pocket-knife, and corning forth again, hurries away like one guilty of a serious sin. When he is far out of sight of the cot tage, on his path again to the highway, he looks at It king and tenderly, and thou open ing his knapsack, lays it within. This shall go with him far and far away ; it grew sbout her bowery window—she whom ho lois met ones or twice in country homes— she whom he has spoken to a few times— she whom he has looked upon and loved. I f ike a man who has accomplished a mis sion, he now walks steadily onward, re :sins the highway, and begs the ascent toward the til:.Vre — te thelowerOftee, which lie at the base of the higher and pore re mote. Deeper became the snow, wlider the scene, neither man nor bird aor beast giv ing life to the whitened waste. By-and-by he comes to a few solitary homesteads, and beyond these to a lonely graveyard, where the dead sleep eternally amid the great hush of nature. He must pause a moment, for here lies a poor school-boy who died of cold and fever. Gray nursed him, Gray loved him, Gray cannot turn him away—perhaps forever—without saying farewell to the in sentient dust. As he diverges to the gate of entrance in to this lone burial-ground, s mlddle-sge4 gentleman OCUrteli toward it, from the rear of the small thatched etiffitt, 149! to undo the latch, cannot; his finger may he cold. lie may have entered the grave yard by some other route. For days there has been no passer-in. fic this as It may, the gentleman cannot make egress. Gray hurries forward. and from his side undoes the latch. "Thank you," says the gentleman, raising his hat, "a courtesy is always pleasant, even on a lonely Yorkshire moor. I thank you—a happy christmas—good day." He is a handsome, thoughtful yaw of middle life; his hair Just toutheiLri Us pay, his manner prompt, his wdamrcurt, like one whose dealings are many with mom and the world. Perhaps he is a Yorkshire manu facturer—who knows?—many have factor ies in the hollows of thii3e moors—rich, ex act, earnest men—gathering whole popula tions round them, and making steam their willing slave. When the stranger is out of sight Gray passes in, and following the footsteps in the snow, they led him to the simple gravestone at the rear of the church, off which the snow has been recently brushed ; on it is recorded the death of two old persons—man and wife—who died some five years before. Their names were Fielding ; their married life a long one, considering the years they "I thought as much," says Gray to him self; `that gentleman was Mr. Fielding, the rich sphmer, and this the grave of his father and mother, I have heard that he was as noble a son a; lie is a noble father, husband, master and man. Yes ! I thought there was a likeness in his face to the boy vim came to Tubbs' to be taught drawing, half a year ago. How often does the prosaic hide the depths of a poetic nature ! This is his visit to his parents' grave, on the anni versary of their death ; and who 'mows of what worth such visitation and self com munion may be? The virtues of a year may be shown thus in a single hour. , Gray passes on to the schoolboy's solitary grave. No reverent feet have visitedit, no reverent hand scraped off the dazzling snow. The mark where the little redbreasts have opped across It are plainly visible, and yet it is not solitary ; the wind sings a dirgo, the snow presses downily, and at night the mdonlight sweeps over it aud silvers It with glory. Under the arch of heaven no single thing but what has some hymn sung to it— some tears wept over it by nature. me poor usherresumes his walk present ly, ,k9f far to go. The cold Is be numbing, liiesWriAcpper, yet he presses on ; and he stops to rind a a 7,44,41 flask in the pocket of his outer coat ; from !tile i s ;Ips a drop of brandy, (it holds but very little) and then plods on. The day begins to fade—the 'distance is yet considerable—he grows anx ious. At length the moor dips downward Into valley, and beyond this is the higher, bleak- er, lonelier moor, across which lies the sta tion he wishes to reach ; through the valley sweeps a vast water-power, and here stands the wondrous mill, in which daily work three thousand people, employed by John Fielding, the great cotton lord. But the mighty giant of the spindle and loom sleeps to-day, the fires are low, and labor rests her hands ! Some miles from the mill the man sion of the cotton lord stands embosomed in the woods, and here at the foot of the fell is a cluster of cottages. Descending to one of these, he asks a wo man standing at a door nearest the way to the opposite fell. . "Why, creme the beck by the bridge, and take the road afore sheo, But eh, sir ! it's coming on a wild nightifor the moors ; And now I'm thinking, if ye go by Graystones— Mr. Fielding's park anent there--you'd find it more sheltered like, and ,a bit nigher still.

As he dots so, a bell at the hall rings loud and cleat'; its echoes are teken up in the solemn moors, and re-echoed back again. "Gentlemen," calls the servant, "there is the first dinner bell ; you had better return now." They prepare as it seems to obey by ska ting towards the shore ; and Gray turns away not willing to be recognized and de tained, fOr he feels desolate and low in heart. For him no welcoming feast is spread, no ear listens for him, no eye expects him. Snow before him, snow behind him —a sad and solemn Christmas to him. Yet the snows of winter hide the buds of spring, and out of our sorrows our truest joys are often born. He has turned his face and steps away from the pool towards the moor, when a crash, followed by awful cries, met his ear. Looking round, hurrying towards the pool, he sees that the tallest youth in skating to wards the shore had ventured on dangerous ice ; it cracked, and he fell through. He is now struggling in the water—his head above it, his hands battling with the Ice ; while his brothers, hastening to his 'rescue, seem in peril too. 'T•he poor, demented servant—a coward, perhaps, by nature--sWncts on the shore wringing his hands and shouting. At a dozen athletic bounds Gray reached the spot. In another moment he has thrown &This coot, hat, antlkaspsack. "Stephen! Walter ! Falkland !" he calls ; "don't attempt that; I'll come to Harry's rescue." Even while he speaks ho cashes way across the Ice, goes through it, is in the pool, not a, minute too soon—the lad is spent and benumbed with cold—is sinking. "A brave heart, Harry—a hand here— there, now my arm's around—you bear up. I'm Gray, your old drawing master." Hold ing the lad's hand above water, swimming dexterously, battling with the ice, in an anxious moment or two he has reached the shore. Having heeded Gray's warning, the other boys are safe too, and now crowd around, "arty 7 hi not much the worse," says Gray, kindly, as the spent and benumbed lad leans on him and begins to recover. "4 near chance ; but a drop of brandy, with a run home, and a warm bath, will set him all right. Walter, feel in my coat pocket ; you'll find my brandy flask; it holds but a drop, but it'll do good." So saying, when the flask is found Gray makes Harry take what it holds, and then hurries him off home. "But you'll come, Gray," says Stephen, who Is the next eldest to Harry, "papa will never forgive us if you don't come, after having sated us 911/r dear Harry. We al ways liked you, Gray, and were talking of you 11113 Yell' Writing. Come on ; you are dripping like a dog," "Thank you; I want to be at -=-_—_sta tion by eight o'clock to-night, and at Leeds to-morrow, so I can,t' I have dry under garments In my knapsack here, which I can change in that fodder shed yonder. Good by, I want to crossathe moor before It is too late." "The moor, Gray ! Why you'll will have a hard tight with the snow. Our shep herds report it is very deep. But why are you tied fwa few Wax% ?" "I have left Tubbs: I taught too tart him: but if I reach Leeds by to-morrow I sky get s tutorship ; for there was an ad vertisement relating to one In the last paper. Bo run home, Stephen, I'll write to you from thence." Gray does not stay for any reply ; but, seizing his coat and knapsack, hurries to the distant shed ; here he change his shoes and other garments, and then, to get warm, sets off at a run, as soon as he had dressed and swung his knapsack on. Up the snowy road, by the moorland crags, on the moor itself—a wild, wide waste of ',whitened des olation, Yet some traffic through the day nutlies the road sufficiently for it to be easy to find, while light lasts and the snow hogs off ; he keeps on at a rapid pace, for the whole distance now to traverse is but some six miles, and he is not without hope that It will be easily effected. But presently the snow drifts get deeper, and baffie him more and more at every step. The clouds charged with snow bring day suddenly to a close ; and at last it begins to snow heavily. Ei3 though the clouds had burst. Still he kept his way, not without hope. But when the road becomes more and more indistinct, When the rising wind whirls it round and round, when the cold becomes so intense as to benumb him, oven while he moves, then he regrets his folly of having slighted the kindly invitation of fir. Fielding's house. But Gray is a proud man ; he has had the birth and education of a gentleman, and he cannot go fawining anywhere, uninvited, like a beggar. At last, hopeless of regaining the track, thoroughly spout, and growing drowsy, he sits down on a crag ; the storm whirling round him and freezing his blood. Tien he clod his eyes, lost iu that dreamy euthan asia which precedes death frotu cold. From this he is aroused by something warm and wet touching his hand—something lying heavy on his knee. Reluctantly—almost with difficulty—he asserts sufficient will and volition to open his epos ; and then he sec.; a shepherd's dog which rests it paws upon his' and licks his hand. At the same the moment, it loud holloa is heard. With still more difficulty th*n. he had in opening his eyes, be makes a faint reply ? for he is canscious the. rescue is at hand. It is scarcely uttered before a shepherd casts back the blinding snow and stands before him. "If you ple Lap, sir, you must come with us. As soon as he heard of the matter, Mr. Fielding sent me and another off, with a horse and the dogs, on the moor after you ; tor no one, he knew, could live out such a night." But Gray could only faintly speak. So tho shepherd's assistant now coming up with the horse, they place him on it, give him some whisky they have with them, and one mounting behind, so as to hold the be numbed gentientml, the other leads the -way back to Graystonee. ;But the way is hard to find, the snow so blinds and baffles them, so lies in monstrous drifts, and the 04 is so benumbing ; yet through this desolate waste they get at last, and by eight o'clock reach the hall. There, in the wide porch, a whole group of sympathizing friends welcome the poor gentleman. He cannot talk much, but he replies to the ;measure of their warm and kindly words. " There, take my arm and lean on me," says the same gentleman for whom Gray opened the 'gate of the little lonely burial ground this very morn ; "you have twice served me today—once in a manner Irrep arable—so let rielterve you In turn." Thus Win& 'Gray le led up stairs to a chamber, where warm bath and and dry Platheg await Idm. Cherished and reffeshod he -Us on it's* andhas soup and wine and other inatoratives. Then taken, he sinks into a sleep. When he waive' It is ten 13:11IMII!III o'clock or more, yet he finds Mr. Fielding seated besides him. "God eyer love and save yin, sir," he says, taking Gray's hand, "for to you I owe the life of my priceless boy. I can never repay you, for they have told me all—your bravery, your goodness—everything. But you must not leave us, Mr. Gray, not for a long time. It was I who advertised in the last Leeds newspaper, for my boys want a master, and yqq weFe the one I thought of, and should have liked ; but I did !lot know you were leaving that mean, pompous, shallow hypocrite, Tubbs. Make your mind happy, sir; you have a home here; to-morrow we will talk of money affairs; but be sure, even when your office ends, you shall find me a sincere friend. Now, do you think you are strong enough to come down and see the Christmas tree and Sir Roger de Coverley danced? Mrs. Fielding and all toy people want to thank you too." Oh! yes, he is strong enough ; for shall he not see the pretty Marianna, the idle of his dreams ! So they go down arm-in-arm together, and Mrs. Fielding and all the guests are earnest and warm in saying grateful and kindly words; and there is Marianna, a little tremulous and timid ; and still more so, wizen Gray gives her off the Christmas tree a small needle-book, on which is finely wrought, "love me and I'll love thee." Gray sits down besides ono of the glow ing tires, while they dance Sir Roger de Cov erly. But by-and-by she leaves the dance and sits down besides hint, "I was sorry for you, Mr. gray," says she, "thinking of you on the black moor," "Were you? that is good news, tartarma.

Vegetable corn grows In rows, an animal corn grows on toes. There are several kinds of corn ; there is the unicorn, capri corn, cornAlodgers, field corn, and toe corn, which is the corn you foel the most. It is said, I believe, that gophers like corn, but a person having corns don't like to "go far," If he can help It. Gems have kernels, and many colonels have corns. Vegetable corn grows on ears, but animal corn grows on the feet, or the other end of the body. An other kind of corn is acorn. These grow on oakebut there is no hoax about the corn. The acorn is a corn with an indefinite, but the toe corn is a very different article in deed. Try it and see. Many a man, when he has a corn, wishes it was an acorn. Folks that have corns sometimes send for a doctor, and if the doctor himselt is corned, be won't probably do so veil as if he isn't. The doctor says that corns are prodneed by tight boots or shoes, which Is probably the reason why when a man is tight they say he is corned. If a farmer manages well he can get a good deal of corn on one acre, but I know of a farmer that has ohe corn Unit makes the biggest ocher on his farm. The bigger crop of vegetable corn a man raises the better he likes it, but the bigger crop of animal corn he raises the better he don't like it. Another kind of corn is corn-dod ger. The way it is made is very simple, and Is made as follows (that is if you want to know): You go along a street and meet a man that you know has corns, and is a rough chi/meter ; then you step on the too that has the corn qh it, and see if you won't have occasion to dodge. Iri OW ANY you will find out what a corn-dodger is. "TuAT man who pays more for his rent than for his advertising does not know his business." This maxim of an experienced and successful merchant is incontrovertible. It matters less to have a fine store than that every body should know where it is and what is in it, It is poor policy to put a couple of hundred thousand dollars in a building and then stop. Qqe store is uo better than another except so far as more customers enter it. and it is advertising which brings customers to ope merchant or dealer rather than another. The time is coming, and coming soon, when advertis ing will be the heaviest expenditure in carry ing on any business, and it will bebcomc so becarise it will be the most remunerative. If advertising in thus tite soul of business it will not take a very long argument to prove to a clear brain that the very hoar business begins to flag, then la the moment to apply the stimulus of increased and more vigorous advertising.

"See to my horse outside," replied the guest carelessly, but at the same time eye ing the landlord from head to foot; "and let me have some wine—Rhine will do." The landlord was turning to withdraw from the stranger's presence, when he stop ped And said— `:Whloh way, meinheer, do you travel V' "To Nanstadt," replied the guest.

"Then, if you'll take my advice.," said the landlord, "you'll stay here till morning." "Why ?" replied the stranger, looking up curiously. "Because," whispered the landlord, look ing around as if he were disclosing a great secret, and was afraid of being heard by somebody else, "every man that passes over this road between this and Nanstadt at midnight, for the last ten years, has been robbed or murdered under very siugular circumstances." "What were the circumstances?" asked the stranger, putting down his glass empty, and preparing to fill it again. "Why see," the landlord werfttn, while he approached his guest's table and took a seat. "I have spoken with several who have becst nohiSd, and all I could learn from them is that they remember meeting, in the lonesome part of the wood, something that looked white and ghastly, and that frighten ed their horses so that they either ran away or threw their riders ; they felt a chocking sensation and a sort of smothering, and finally died, as they thought, but awake in i an hour or so to find themselves lying by the roadside robbed of everything "Indeed," ejaculated the stranger, look • lng abstractly at the rafters in the ceiling, as though he was more Intent upon counting them than he was interested Mete landlord's story.

"Oh, most certainly not; I'm going straight ahead, ghost or no ghost, to-night" Half an hour later, the stranger and a guido, 44 , 11,-.1 Wilhelm, were on the road, going at a pretty round pace toward Nan stadt. During a flash of lightning the stranger observed that his guide looked very uneasy about something, and was slackening his horse's pace as though he intended to drop behind. "Lead on." cried the stranger, "don't be afraid." "I'm afraid, I cannot," replied the person addressed, continuing to hold his horse in until he was now at least a length behind his companion. "My horse is cowardly, and unmanageable in a thunder storm. If you will go on though, I think I can make him follow close enough to point out the road." The stranger pulled up instantly. A strange light gleamn In his eyes, while his hand sought his breast pocket, from which he drew something. The guide saw the movement and stopped also, "Guides should lead, not fbilow," said the stranger, quietly, but with a firmness which seemed to be exceedingly unpleasant to the person addressed. "But," faltered the guide, won't go." "Won't he?" queried the stranger, with mock simplicity in his tone. The guide heard a sharp click, 'and saw something gleam in his companion's right hand.

He heard the clatter of his horse as he galloped off Without waiting another in stant, he touched his horse lightly with the reins, gave him a prick with the rowels, and off the noble animal started like the wind in the wake of the flying guide. The stranger's horse being much superior to the other's, the race waa a short one, and terminated by the guide being thrown near ly from his saddle by a heavy hand which was laid upon his bridle, stopping him. He turned in his seat, beheld the strang er's face, dark and frowning, and trembled violently as he felt the smooth, cold barrel of a pistol pressed against his cheek. "This cursed beast almost, ran sway with me," cried the guide, composing himself as well as he could under the circumstances. "Yes, I know,"' said his companion, dry ly, "but mark my words, young man, it your horse plays such tricks again, he'll be the means of seriously {naming tss master's health," They both turned and cantered back to the road. When they reached it again, and turned the heads of their animals in, the right tiirection, the stranger said to his guide, in a tone which must have convinced his hearer as to his earnestnes'— "Now, It Wilhelm, I hope we ender - stand each other for the rest of the journey.

Again he heard the click of the starves &sot and saw hie uplifted arm. "Have mercy, meiiiheer," he groaned ; "I dare not go on." "I give you three seconds to go on," re plied the stranger, many. "One!" "In heaven's name, spare," implored the guide, almost overpowered withlbar, "look before me in the road and yon will not blame me." The stranger looked. At first he sant something white standing motionless in the centre of the road, but presently a fish of lightning lit up the scene, and he saw that the white figure was Indeed ghastly and frightful enough looking to chill the blood In the veins of even the bravest man. It' his blood chilled for a moment, therefore, It was not through any !bar that he felt for his ghostly Intercepter, for the next Instant be set his teeth hard while he whispered be tween them just loud enough to be Usard by his terror-stricken guide— "lie It rpm or devil—ride it down—lll follow.

In another Instant the guide would have swept past the dreadful spot, but at that in stant the report of a pistol rang through the dark forest, and the stranger heard a hors• gallop off through the woods riderless. Finding himself alone, the stranger raiz ed his pistol, took -deliberate aim at the ghostly qurderer, and pressed his finger 1,4 p on the trigger. The apparitiqp approached quickly, but in no hostile attitude. The stranger stayed his hand. At length the ghost addressed him in a voice that was anytbing but sepul chral: "Hero, Wilhelm, ye move out of your perch this minute and givo me a helping hand ; I've hit the game while on the wing, haven't I ?" The stranger was nonplussed for a mo ment, but recovering himself, he grumbled something unintelligible and leaped to the ground. One word to his horse and the brave animal stood pertectly still. By the snow-white trappings on the would-be ghost he was next enabled to group° his way iu the dark toward that lndiliidual, whom he found bending over the black mass about the size of a man on the road. As the tiger pounces upon his prey, the stranger leaped upon the stooping figure fore him, and bore it to the ground. " 1 arrest yoq irt We Ring's name," cried the stranger, grasping his prisoner 5y the throat and holding him tight. "Stir hand or foot until I have you properly secured, and I'll send your soul to eternity." This was such an unexpected turn of af fairs that the would-be ghost could hardly believe his own senses, and was handcuffed and stripped of his dagger and pistol before ho fo,mo breath to speak. "Are you not my Wilhelm r ho gasped.
