My wife, who was luckily sitting by me, was at first as much frightened a*X was, hut gradually she succeeded in qui eting both mo and herself, which Indeed she has a wonderful faculty for doing. When she had drawn, from mo the cause of my terrified exclamations, •we discussed the whole matter, in which we' differed considerably.: and on this sub ject we invariably and affectionately do. ! She is a perfectly matter-in-fact, unlmae-/ ■inativo, and unsuperstitlous individual, i quite satisfied that in the invisible, as in 'the visible world, two and two must make i four, and cannot, by any possibility make lone flaw in her otherwise very sensible (argument, namely, the taking for; grant ed that we finite creatures.' who are so li able to err, even in material things, can (in things Immaterial decide absolutely ■ upon what is two laud what Is four. There lives more faith in honest dqabt,. Believe me, than In half your creeds. , And it is just possible that when the (evil one tempted bur forefather to eat of ■the tree of knowledge, he was laughing, ms may be he often laughs now, to think ■what a self-conceited fool a man must be, ’ever to suppose that he con know every- I preach this to my helpmate— who 1s the humblest and sweetest of wo ;men—she replies, in perhaps the safest iwav a woman can reply to an argument, ■with a smile; as she .old, when, haying talked over and viewed on all sides my, ‘Dreadful Ghost, she advised raeto make lit public, for the good of the comrauolty; In which we agreed; though differing,— She considered It would prove how very silly it was to believe In ghosts at all. I considered—but my story will explain th |he and I were, I thought; invited ton strange house,, with which,.and with.the ;family,.we.wereonly acquainted byhear-. Sav ft was, in fact, one of those “ Invir itations on business,’ 1 such as Utemw per sons like .myself continually get,. and •which give little pleasure, as we are per r fectlv aware from what motives, they springand that if we could pack up our reputation In a portmanteau, and our bead In a hat-box. it would answer exact iy the same purpose, and be equally sat isfactory to the Inviting parties. How ever. the present case'was an exception ; 'since, though we had never seen out en tertainers, we bad heard that they were, not a show-loving, lltemiy-llon-hunting . household, but really a/am«yratfectlon ■nloiv united among themselves, and de votW the CmW of the lately-lost head. He was a physlolan, widely es teemed, and also a man of tetters, whose death had created a great blpnk, both in jhis own circle and In ttie literary world at large. Now, after a year's Interval, his widow and thrOe daughters were(be ginning to reappear in .society ; and at the British Association meeting, held at the large town which I need not parllou larize, nad opened.the doors of thely long ihospllable house, to my wllenndme.

A DREADFUL OIIOST. so etroo|(, 'vtiat wh6n the widow came In, we abstained fromVasklag the question, lest we strangers might touch pllinfully on a scarcely-nettled wound. Bhe was a sweet-looking little woman —-pale, fragile, and rather silent than oth erwise. She, merely performed the du ties of the tea-table, whilst the conversa tion was carried on with, spirit and intel ligence by her three daughters—evidently highly accomplished women. They were no longer young, or. particularly hand some; but they appeared to have inher ited the inexpressible charm of manner Which. I had heard,'characterised their lost father; and they had, ray wife whls : pored me, a still greater attraction in her eyes (she had, dcarsoul I two little dnugh -1 tors of her own growing up)—Which'Was, the exceeding deference they paid to their mother, who was not by any means so clever as themselves. Perhaps I, who had not married a wo man. for her cleverness, admired the mother most. , The Doctor's widow with her large, soft, sorrowful the tears seemed to have dried up, or. been frozen up in a glassy quietness, was to me the best evidence of what an excellent man he must have been—how. deeply be loved, how externally mourned 1 She neverspokeof herhusband, nor the daughters of their father. This silence— which some families consider it almost a religious duty to preserve regarding their dead, we, of course, as complete strangers, . bad no business to break; and therefore, it happned that we were still in the dark as to the orlginial of that remarkable por trait—which minute by minute took a stronger hold on my Imaginations, my wife’s too—or that quality of, universal tender-heartedness, which In her does duty for imagination. -1 never looked at her but she-Was watching either our hos tess or that likeness which- she supposed to be the features which to the poor wid ow had been so deservedly dear. . A most strange picture 1 It seemed, lu Its. wonderful true- simulation of life, to sit almost like an .unobserved, silent guest, above our cheerful and conversational ta ble. Many times during the evening I started, as If with the sense of a seventh person being in- the-room —In the very social circle—hearing everything; observ ing everything, but saying nothing. Nor was I alone in this:feeling; for i noticed that my wife, who happened to sit di rectly opposite to the portrait,figeted In her chair; and finally moved her position to one where she could escape from-those steady, kindly, ever-pursuing, painted eyes. Now I ask nobody to believe what I am going to relate; I must distinctly state that 1 do not believe It myself ; but I tell it because it Involves an idea and moral, , which the reader can apply If he chooses. All I can say Is, thntio far as It purports to go—and whenyou come to the end you will find out—this Is really a true story. My Wife, youmust understand, eat ex actly before the portrait; till she changed § laces, with me, and weal a little way own the oblong table, on 1 the same side. ; Thus, one of us bad a front, and the other ' a slightly foreshortened view. Between us and. it was the table, la the center: of ' which stood a lamp—one of thoso readlng ■ lamps which throw a brightplroleof light * below them, and leave the upper half of !the room in . comparative shadow. I ! thought It was this shadow, or some fancl iful flicker of the fire which caused a pe -1 cullarlty In the eyeC of the portrait. They seemed actually alive—moving from right to left In their orbits; opening 1 and clos llng their lids; turning from oue to the 1 other of the family circle with a variable ! expression, os If oonolous of all that was ; done or said. ■ I And yet the family took no notice, but iwentbn in their talk with us—chasing 'thecommotttopiCßWlth-Whlch-üßfßmil.. liar persons try to plumb one another’s 'mlndaand-cbaractera, yet never once -re-- ! verting to this peculiar phenomenon— which my wife, I saw, had also observed, 'and Interchanged with me more than one 'uneasy: glance in the pause of conyersa 'tion. . , .. I The evening was wearing on—lt was Ihearly ten o’clock, when looking up at I Ithe picture, from which for the last half hour I had steadily averted my gaze, I was startled by a still more marvelous ifaot concerning It. ... . 1 ' Formerly, the eyesalone had appeared alive; now the whole face, was rounded. It grew up, out of the flat canvass as if in bass-relief or like one. of those terribly painful - casts after death—except that there was nothing painful or revolting ibero. As I have said, the face was. a ■beautiful fate—a noble face—such an.one W ander any circumstances,' yOu would 'have been attracted by. And It. had the 'coloring and form of life—-no cbrpse-llko 'rigidity or marble whiteness. The gray -halt seemed gradually to rise, look,my ilook.out of the level surface—and the jig lure, clothed In ordinary modem evening 'dress; to become shapely and. natural— statusdpe yet: still preserving the tints, of u-.plcture.

By-aiid-by, my’Wife and I, both,,held our breaths—for,, from an ; ordinary oil painting,'the likeness had undoubtedly become a life-like figure, or statute, sit ting In an alcove,bhe form of which was made by the frame of the picture. And yet the family took no notice; but appeared as if, whether or not they were conscious of the remarkable thing that w&sh&ppciilQKi it dld-n6t.d»sturb v them m the least—was nothing at all alarming or peculiar, or. out of tho. tenor .of their daily life. . No. hot even when, on returning with a book that I had gone to fetch, from the shelves at tho further end .of the room, my poor little wlte caught my hand In speechless awe—awe, rather than fear and pointed to the hitherto empty chair by tho fireside. , . . It was empty no longer. There, ■sitting in the self-same attitude ns the portrait identical with It la shape, countenance, and dress—was a figure. That, it was a jhuman figure, ! dare not, say, and yot it looked like, one. -There was nothing 'ghastly or corpse-llke.about It, though ft -was'motionless.,passiopleas-endo\yed as sit were with that dlvlfie calm which [Wordsworth ascribes to Proatesllus: ; ' Yet there was an air tenderly, pathetl- , ’cally human In the loldlng of the hands ; on the' knees; as' a man .does when he ■comes and sits down by his own fireside, with his family round him and in the eyes , that followed; one’after the other, each of this family, who now ’ quietly put away , jthelr several occupations, and ! i • But none of them showed any terror , ;not the. slightest.

' No answer came apparently none was expected. Theliguro maintained its place, never altering thatgentlesmlle—remind ing one of the spectral Samuel’s rebuke to the Witch of Endor—“ Why hast thou disquieted me. to bring me up?” or of thatsuporlorcalm with which, after death, we. may view all these petty things which so perplexed iis once, In ourselves and those about us. Then the widow took up the tide, with a regretful undertone of complaint run ning througb'lt. She told him how dull she nod been all day; how ip, the prepa rationsofthesestrangerelmeanlngmy wife and me—how wo shivered as the eyes ol the figure moved and rested on us I) she bad found various old letters of his, which vividly revived their happy .wedlock days; how yesterday one of his former patients ’ died, and to-day a professorship, which he had meant to have tried for, nod been ;lven to a gentleman, a favorite pupil; iow his old friends Mr. A —- and Sir B. C. had a quarrel, and everybody said it would never have happened bad the : Doctor been alive—and so on, and so on, ; to ail of which, the figure listened with Its immovable silence—its settled changeless smile. My wife and I uttered not a word. We sat apart, spell-bound, fascinated, neither attempting to Interfere, nor question, nor rebuke. The whole.-proceeding was so entirely beyond the pale of rational cause and effect, that it seemed to throw us in to a perfectly abnormal condition, in which we were unable to Judge, or inves tigate, or escape from, the circumstances which surrounded us. We knew nothing—absolutely nothing— except the very little Revelation hints at, rather than directly teaches, of the world beyond the grave. But any one of us who has ever seen a f How creature, die—. has watched the exact instant when the awful change takes place which converts the body withd soul to the corpse with out a soul, must feel certain—convinced by an intuition which Is stronger than dll reasoning—that 11 the life beyond, to which that soul departs, be anything, or worth anything, it must be a very differ ent life from this—with nobler aspirations, higher duties, purer affections. The com mon phrase breathed over so many a peaceful dead face, “ I would not bring him back again if I could,” has a signfl cauce, instructive as true ; -truer than all misty philosophical speculations, tender er than all the vagaries of fond spiritual ists, with big hearts and no heads worth mentioning. If ever I had doubted this, 1 my doubts would have been removed 3 by the sigh t which X here depict—of this good, amiable, deeply beloved husband and father —returning in visible form to his own fireside; no ghastly specter, but an apparation full of mildness and beauty, yet commuuloatlng.a. sense of revolting incongruity, utter unsanctity, and redicu lous, degrading contrast between mortal and immortal, spirit in the flesh, and spirit out of flesh, stronger than I can at tempt to describe. The dead man’s family did not feelthis, having become so familiar with their hightly necromancy that its ghastliness never struck them, and its ludicrous pro fanity never jarred upon their intellect or affections, only made the fact more horrl- _ _ _ _ For "a time, long or short, I cannot tell, my wife and I sat witnessing, like people bound in a nightmare-dream this mock ery of mockeries, the attempt at restoring the sweet familiar relations of the living, between the living and the dead. How many days or months it had lasted, or what result was expected from it, we never inquired; nor did we attempt to join in it; we merely looked on. "Will papa ever speak?” entreated one of the daughters; but there was no reply. The figure sat passive in its chair—unable or unwilling to break the silent barrier which divides the two worlds, maintain ing still that benign and tender smile, but keeping its mystery unbroken, its prob lem unsolved. - And now my wife, whosedearlittle face was, I saw, growing white and convulsed minute by minute, whispered to me: “ Charles, I can bear this no longer, Make some excuse to them—we will not hurt their feelings. Don’t let them think we are frightened, or disgusted, or the like; but we must go—l shall go mad if I do not." , And the half-sane look which I have seen in more than one of the pseudo splritualitsts of the present day- people I who twenty years ago would have been sent to Bedlam, but, now are only set down as “ rather peculiar,” rose in those dear soil sensible eyes, which have warm ed and calmed my restless heart and un quieted brain for more than fifteen years. I took advantage of the next pause in the " communications,” or Whatever the family called them, to suggest that my wife and I were very weary and anxious to retire to rest. . "Certainly," politely said the eldest daughter. “ Papa.’ Mr. and Mrs. ,’’ naming our name, “ have had alongrail way journey, and wish to bid us all good n*!rhe appearance bent upon us—my wife and me—its most benevolent, gentle as pect, apparently acquiescing in our re tiring : and slowly rose as if to bid good night like any other courteous host. Now, in his lifetime, no one had bad a warmer, more devoted admiration for this learned and loveable man than I. More than once I had travelled many miles tor the merest chauco of. seeing him, and when he died-my regret at never having known him personally, never having ov en beheld his face, was mingled with the crief which I, in common 'with all his compatriots, felt at losing him so sudden ly, with his fame atits zenith; his labors appai ently only half done. But here, set face to face with this image or phantasm, .or whatever it was, of the man whom living X had so honored-! felt no delight ; nay, the cold clearness of that gnZe seemed to shoot through me like a chill er horror. . , ; v ■ . ■ When, going round the circle, I shook bunds with the wideband daughters, one ■after the other, I passed before that chair; !

In the fall of 1860, a settlement in one of the mountain counties of California was alarmed imd annoyed by the pr x imity and predatory excursions of a griz zly bear. Two hunters determined to rid the neighborhood of this dangerous pest. Finding one day on the side of the moun tain a heifer that bad just died, they con structed over it a rude scaffolding, care lessly erected, with the customary reck lessness of those mountaineers, and, worse still, Just over, instead of a short distance from, the bait as it should have been. With blankets to guard against the cold nights, enough cooked provisions to last two or three days, andtheirgunsnnd ammunition, they took up their position on the structure. At dark the full moon rose with a soft clear brilliancy of light peculiar to those regions. No frog, bird, no animal cry interrupts the awful stillness of those rugged solitudes after nightfall. A feeling of uneasiness began to creep into Hiram Johnson's mind, which de generated Into something like timidity, as upon walking across the floor of the scaffold, he felt it shake beneath him, and for the first time, observed its ricke ty character. “ Gray,” said he, “ this thing ain’t safe. Let's prop It up some more.” ■ “ An!” exclaimed the other. “ Listen 1” They could hear the rustling in the . brush some distance up the mountain, and were soon enabled to perceive a huge , grizzly bear making his way down to their hut. ' ' When he had arrived within about , twenty feet he observed the hunters, and raising on his hind feet, advanced as If determined upon an attack, to the dis may of Johnson, who felt satisfied that a slight pressure of the beast’s enormous body would overthrow their frail struc ture, and place them at the mercy of this savage enemy. The bear, however, after a few steps abandoned this threatening movement, and, dropping on all fours, walked under the scafiofd, and commenced his repast, rubbing against one of the posts In pass ing, and thereby rocking the whole con cern. ■ Johnson's uneasiness had now become fear, and his whole desire was to keep perfectly still, in the hope that the bear would gorge itself on the dead animal, and then go away aud leave them unin terrupted. This fear deepened into ter ror, as ho saw the big whiskers, shaggy hair and burly form of Gray, gun In hand, creeping to the edge of the platform. “ Gray,” he whispered, don’t shoot. This thing ain’t built right. It ought to have been a little distance off, so that we could shoot without leaning over the. edge. Now we can't get no fair shot, and if you don’t kill it, It’ll kill us. . Gray’s answer was only an impatient motion with his loft hand, meant for a signal to keep quiet, and, crawling with, his body far over the edge, so he could see well under, he began to bring his gun forward, and turn the muzzle under the scaffold, preparatory to firing on the bear, which was too much engaged in eating to notice what was going on above. But that shot was never fired, for the added weight of the gun ju its position ana that of the owner was all that was heeded to cause the scaflbid to commence slowly settling towards the side over which Gray was leaning. _ .. “Back, Gray; back! The scaffold’s falling!" almost shrieked Johnson with pallid face, striving to pull his compan ion toward the center. . But it was too late. The thing sudden ly fell, and the wreck, men and grizzly, were mixed in confusion, Johnson,- conceiving he had no time to i waste in' rising to his feet, Immediately proceeded to flounce out of the wreck, ' and roll down hill with a celerity no hoop ' snake could surpass. Gray, now nearly as much terrified ns Johneou, passed him with two leaps of amazing stride, and had nearly reached I the bottom of the hill, when it occurred : to him to have a hasty survey over his ■shoulder. Johnson was still rolling, but : no bear was to be seen Astonished at this, the fugitive stopped and faced the : 'situation, when, higher up to the mouu ’ tutu,' he discovered the-mpnster, ly as much terrified ns themselves, hasti ly entering the bush from which he had Just emerged. ■ ' , , Gray then enlightened Johnson on the .state of affairs and undeeislveiy proposed : going up after the guns and blankets, but the inst-nairifcd gentleman very deoisive ly said he would prefer going home, add they went without any unnecessary waste of time Their information in regard to scaffold - .architecture in connection with grizzly., , bear hunting, had received the light of 1 some valuable experience.

Ladies, wo. understand are frequently seriously trou-r bled with cold feet, and we presume that so long as they insist upon wearing thin hose and thin and very small boots, es pecially during winter weather, just so longwiil they be troubled as above., A young lady up town has kindly furnished us with a recipe, which she has tried and knows to be effective, that will keep feet warm, and we give it without, howoypr, recommending Its general use. She says, “I am troubled with cold feet, but manage to keep them, warm by lying in bed ever morning until mother has built a rousing fire and prepared breakfast. I then get up, place my feeton the frontof the stove, eat my morning meal, read thenews. and after warming someflannclsand wraping them about my 1 poor feet,’return to bed, where I remain until nearly noon. I re peat this every twenty-four hours, and find it very comfortable. I think I shall survive.” . >- . Interesting to. Railroad Travel lers.—The following “ rules of the road” are based upon legal decision, and ought to be universally known. The courts have decided that applicants for tickets on railroads oatt'bo ejected from the cars if they do not offer the exact amount of their fare. - The conductors ore not bound to make change. All railroad tickets are good un til used ; Conditions “good, for this day only,” or; others limiting the time, of genuineness, are of no account. - Passen gers who lose their tickets can be ejected froth the cars Unless they purchase a sec ond one. Passengers are bound to observe . decorum, incthe-cars,', and are obliged to comply.. with all reasonable demands to show thelrtlokefs. Standing on the plat form, or otherwise violating the rules of . the company, renders a "person, liable to be put off the train. No person has a fight to monopolize more scats than he ; has paid for; and any article left in the feat'while the owner is temporarily ab sent, entitles him to hts seat on his re turn.
