Vioielizutemo Notes and Facts, by Quid. catutaa ET/QIJETTE. "Away to Church," the parson cries, And off to Church be goes ; * The old go there to close their eyes, The young to eye their clothes. '' There aro many things which, according to Divine authority, ought to be done, and others which ought to' be omitted, are often Committed."' Our' Amelia; not the girl we met' on Locust - 'street the other night, has made many close observations, she is every close observer too, surprisingly so. Girls we' all know, are better acquainted with certain - habits Of young men, than said young men suppose they are, and more so than is good for the comfort of the said young men. Well we have been making some observations itiChu'rch,,which Amelia thinks are so nice—so perfectly elegant. For instance it is very proper to walk Into Church With your hat on, never taking It off till - you get to your seat. Besides you must always come In about ten minutes after services have commenced, so that no body can see you. To walk very slowly up the aisle and swing aristocratically is another requisite which should never be omitted. When two or three gentlemen 'oc cupy a pew, and a lady comes in buntings seat, let the gentlemen always march out of the pew in single file,:face to the crept. smile, bow, allow the lady to pass in, then resume their seats ; this always during the sermon., ,When the:choir starts up the an them, everybody should tarn around, lOok lip, and gaze at the singers, but when . the Minister announces his text, close your eyes, and reinain perfectly still (even don't snore) for fear you might keep awake; when he' closes his bible, shout a fervent "amen," . milf you approved *very word be said, When' you only meant to express gratifica tion at the conclusion. , 'W hen the collectiOn IS taken up, hunt the smallest change you haYe; save' the' trustees the trouble of, counting. Before and after services al- WaYs whisper in a very 'loud and audible tone of voice." If any one - 26mes in Miring services, alWeirs turn toward the door to see whO it 'lt will gratify you and please evpryt;oqy'else., When' the minister 'makes 'a point try to believe he means arty one el..e but yourself. Singes loud as'yon can, so that everybody can admire your fine' vOice. As soon as the doxology .opens....seiro_your.. hat and coat, put on the latter, and be ready to rush out of church.. Then lettheYOung gentlemen (!) all arrange themselveS in two rows, face in wards and cast sharp glances at the ladies. Don't fail to do this as it certainly is the highest exhibition of ,extreme,. politeness. Lit this and'xin mOre. , --A.

Almost a Ghost Story—A Real Incl- dent. - • BY GRACE GREENWOOD: On a Christmas night, soinefifty, or,eixty .years ago there was .gathered about the wide fireplace of.a large,,New ,England; ,kitchen a happy family circle, consistingtof a well-to-do farmer, who. was ,eke a magis trate—known far and wide as "Squire Per cival",-,—his comely wife, two fair daughters; a niece, and last, but .not least; a, son, just home from Yale for-the holidays. - The night without was, seasonably cold, and brilliant with moonlight and, starlight: ,The large stone farm, house stood on the brow ,of a hill, behind a protecting line: .of tall pine-treys-the only,green in -the wide landscape. The steep hillside and wide val ley beneath were heavily blanketed ,with snow. The early part of the evening had passed merrily with games,jests, and song. ~But for an hour or two the conversation had ta- k9n.a drift into tho ronim of tho:supernntu- ,ghost. story,bad :succeeded .to another, till, as the "witching .time of night" approached, and the fire burned low, the circle instinctively drew closer together with thrills and shudders of strange spirit-. nat dread which is yet akin to the keenest pleasure—an awesome joy, an exquisite ter-; ror. The solemn soughing of the winds among the pines, heard' in the pauses of ghostly recitals, added its, wondrous, wierd effect to the theme. . . . ' Just as young John Percival had conclu ded a wild German legend, which he declar ed "-splendid stuff for dreams," the out-side door was heard to open•suddenly. All look= ed round, more or less fearfully, to see standing on the threshold the slight form of a fair young woman, clad:all in white, and looking strangely-pure, and cold, and In minons, like incarnated moonlight. " With the glide of a spirit" sbe.came for ward. Her- feet were quite bare, and her arms were drooping wearily. Masses of fair hair fell over her,and herfeyes were:dark and fixed With a melanchollystare. :Her lips were slightly parted and almost colorless.

For a ummont, all the startled group re mained as silent as that strange 'visitor— then ono young girl caught her breath in a hvstorical scream, which was was instantly answered by a cry from the pale lips of the "woman in white," into whose blank-eyes rushed a wild keen light.

T. love to read of his inspired sagacity, and his love of the wild free life of mountain and forest ; and his grand truthtulness, his hatred of treachery, and his general nobility of char acter; and his stately metaphorical manner of speech ; and his chivalrous love for the dusky maiden ; and picturesque pomp of dress and accoutrement. When I found the shops at Niagara Falls fujipEdainty Indian bead work, and,, ! st.ttoning moccasins and equally stunning toy figures , rep& resenting human beings who carried their weapons In holes bored through their arms and bodies, and had feet. shaped like a pie, I was titled with emotion., knew that now at last, I was going to come face to face with the Noble Red Man. A' lady clerk in a shop told:me, indeed, thanalt grand army of curiosities were made by the Indians, and that they were friendly and it would, notbedangerous 'to speak to ,them. , And sure enough, as I approached the -bridge leading over.to Luna Island, I came upon a, noble old.
