From Blarkwood'a Magazine.
The gas wouldn't burn, tbo kerosene
strangled me with its noxious odor, the
fluid splutleted, burnt blue, and went
out. I am afraid of the dark ; Hint ghost
black which makes one's eyes nche with
the want of light; .that palpable gloom
which seems to beat liko a roomful of pal
pitation of the hrt round you, every',
where ; that visible nothing, which holds
tlis tables, the chairs, the portraits you
are familiar with, yet hides them in its
lltck veil from your view; that empty full
ness through which you thrust out your
groping arms, then Bhrink back, oppress
ed with a presence you can neither hear,
e nor feel.
'Willy,' I said to my little maid, 'run
somewhere and get me a light.'
She ran to the grocer's wife, and came
bck with a penny dip in a brass candle
stick. As she placed it on my table, went out
tnd shut the door, the little boy in bronze
on the mantle raised his hnmmer and
truck the figure of Time twelve ring
ing blows on the heart. It was mid
Bight. The candle burned clenrly. I resumed
the old volume of German legends I was
reading, and as I laid my finger on a par
agraph, and paused to pondei on the pos
sibility of spirits returning to earth to
wreak vengeance on foes, or work rrell to
friends, I heard a deep sigh by my elbow.
I turned and beheld the ghost of my
grandmother.
I knew her from her resemblance to
W potrai,. She wore the same white
Op with its wide border plaited round
hsr lace the same prim dress with
which I had grown familiar in the pic
ture.
She died twenty year ao. t was na-
tnsd for her.
I drew up (ho rocking chair for the
ghost. She sat down in it. A pillow
tonld not hare sank thcro miro noiseless
ly than she did. Sho kept her hands in
the same position on her beast, that some
tody tied them twenty years ago.
She fixed her keen black eyes upon me
beautiful eyes, which I had always ad
wired in the portrait. None of her des
cendants had such eves.
'I could not oome,' she raid, in deep se
pulchral tones, 'in gas light. Ci hosts and
KM lights are at war always. As for ker
nt oil, we groan in spirit at. its use.
How mortal noses can, flight after night

candle pleases me. We ghosts like the
light of other days around us. We al
ways, in the body, burned tallow can
dles.' The fine eyes of my grandmother gazed
at my penny dip steadfastly fora moment.
She seemed to see visions and dream
dreams.
'ily dear,' sho said, 'you are the first of
the family that have turned to candles
since the innovation of gas. You are in
debted to your dip for my preseuce. How
hollow I would have looked under a chan
delier, how bloodless, how white! As it
is. I think lam looking very natural, am
I not?'
She glanced up at her portrait and wai
ted a reply.
'A little pale, grandmother,' said I, 'but
tell me, dear mndam, if your pursuits in
tho othor world aro of such a nature thsl
they admit of your returning to this at
any time?'
'By no means, r am permitted to ap
pear in this sphere but seldom. My in
fluence I can make felt oftener. I have
not been seen refore since my coffin lid
was closed. I came to tell you there
arose a yell in randemonium. I looked
in to see whenco it came. I found the
great chamber assigned ti little children,
and which is always full of little ones of
all sizes and ages, the scene of great com
motion. Infants were crawling into cor
ners ; throo year old toddlers were totter
ing out of the way. Older ones were has
tily finding seats, and all fucss oro a
listening expression. A small voico was
saying?
'It was tio fault of mine that brought
me hero. I who am now hut five years
old, might have lived to be fifty. Na
turo uafortuiiilely, garo me a very line
physical development. My chest was
round and full, my skin clear, my limbs
finely moulded. My birthplace was in
a cold climate. My tender mother, proud
of her offspring, bared my neck and arms
in the chill winters, when her rose bushes
and vines were packed in warm straw
and throughly protected from every blast.
I was brought down to be viewed by com
pany, and exposed to different tempera
tures, as I went from room to room. My
mothor wrapped in'sott velvet and com
fortable silks, did notsufTer. I became a
great troublo in the house. My beauty
faded, I lingered from month to month,
and died at last, at five years old, of con

I was trotted to death,' cried a more
piping voice, as the first speaker sat down.
A woman was hired expressly to take
care that I should not want for exercise.
Her days and nights were spent in keep

My brain turned to bruises, my blood to
whey, my bones grew so sharp they al
most pierced tho knees which trotted
them. As I began to cut teeth, my tongue
was constantly jolted between my jaws,
and in danger of being bit off. I dared
not whine, for I knew the penalty. I
began at last to calculate how long the
torture could possibly continue. Warm
weather was coming on, and I thought
ono or the other of us must soon give up
the ghost; and as my nurse's exertions
were almost superhuman, I imagined per
haps that I might outlast her. One un
lucky day, however, my mother entering
the room unexpectedly, I smiled at hor, I

'The darling !' cried my parent, 'see,

Every thump of her foot was, I know, a

her efforts, and I was trotted out of exis

urn tremens. At the age of six months I
ws a confirmed drunkard. I had not
been a very quiet baby, and every time I
was uneasy, s little liquor was administer
ed to do me good. I did not want wine
but water. I was naturally a very thirsty
ehild, and everything that was put be
tween my speechless lips increased my
thirst. My mother's milk was sweet, the
panacea given mo was sweet, and if now
and then blessed with a drop of goat or
cow's milk, it was warmed and sweetened
first, to make it as much like my moth
er's as possible. I used to cry. No oth
er way do we poor babies have of express,
ing our feelings, and the chances are ten
to one that we will bo misunderstood.
To stop my crying I was put to the breast;
this, at such times, I would indignantly

'what shall we do with hira?' The

who always made a practice of tasting
whatever was provided for her charge.
Her sovereign remedy was liquor. It was
taken, and a spoonful administered at a
time. At first I rebelled I strangled,
kicked anil coughed. The firm bond
held the spoon to my little tongue, and
down went its contents in spite ,of rue.
Little by little tho dose was increased.
I soon liked it. It was given me readily,
for after a few moments of wild g!ce, 1
fell into a drunken stupor, which gave my
attendants many Dpportunities of enjoy
ing themselves, as my sleep was long and
sound.
'At length mania-a-potu assailed me.
During my whole life, no one had ever
thought of giving me a spoonful of the
water I had craved -tho eooling, cheering
and refreshing drop of water! Now, I
no longer cared for it. In my wildest
frenzies I was accused of having the chol
ic ; down, as usual, went the fiery dtink
until finally I was literally burnt out. I
was nothing but a cinder within, and a
shell without. My stomach was cooked
to a crisp, my intestines were shrivelled !
my lungs no longer filled with pure air,
belched forth only the fiery fumes thai
had consumed me. I died; I wai good
for nothing. I hope whatever form my
dust is destined to take on earth, it will
not be watered, as, when I inhabited it,
with idchohol.'
' As this speaker beascd there aroso a
wail of sympathy, such as had at first at
t'actod me to the pandemoniac chamber;
as it subsided another little' figure had
taken the stand
'My leg,' hesid, ' brought mo out of
the world. My mother labored under
the strange delusion that her child was
born a Highland laddie of American pa
rent in America. I was dressed, or left
undressed rather, in short plaid stockings,
reaching to the calf of my leg, and ele
gant kilt reaching just to the knee. My
limbs were moulded in cherubic forms,
and when exposed in the nursery, were
pretty. But the 'nursery was too narrow
a fnld in which too display my beauty.
On bitter cold days I was walked out over
the icy streets, tho keen wind chapping
my llesh and chilling my blood till my
knees looked like twin nutmeg graters
painted purple. I used to look at my
mother's long comfortable ekirts and
thick leggins drawn up over warm
hose, and wondered if she could survive
a fashion juch as I wore if adopted by
herself. I became afflicted with inflama
tory Rheumatism, and unable to bear the
pain, gavo up the ghost.
Tho next that spoke was a dreamy fa
ced little girl, who trembled as sho rose
and said : 'I am an opium eater. My
death warrant was written on the first
bottle of Godfrey's cordial brought into

Spiking Cannon.
The Tittsburg Dtspitch contains the fol
lowing interesting information : There
is no method of spiking a cannon which
will forever prevent its use. If the spike
is made of iron or unhardened steol, it
n-ay be removed by tho drill. If it is
Ico o'y inserted, or without much force,

urpowder placed in the bottom of the
bore. But if tho spiko is mado of harden

end is made soft und riveted within the
bore, then neither the drill nor gunpow.
der can removo it ; tho vent remains per
manently closed. The remedy, in such
cases, is to drill a new vent, which may
be done without impairing the serviceable
ness of the gun. A new vent may be drill
ed in any cannon by a skillful machinist
j in two or three hcurs.
In experimental firing, when a.vei.l be
comes to much worn and enlarged, we
drill a new ono, and sometimes as many
as three or four vents are made in tho
same gun, and many hundred fires are
made afterwards.
During tho recent Crimcon war, an ar
ticle relative to spiking cannon w as pub
lished in the London Times, in which it
was asserted that tho use of a new pa
tent spike would destroy tho serviceable
ness or the gun. The spike was described
as a iece of finely tempered steel, turned
to fit the vent, but to move freely in it,
and turning out in a forked spring in the
bore. This spike it was alleged, could
nov be removed, ns it would turn readily
with the drill ; but it scenes that the pos
sibility of cutting or breaking ofl'the tongs
or forks of the spring inside the barre
was not considsred. The communication
given above, from high authority, may be
lodged upon as conclusive that tho worst
effect of spiking wou id I e a few hours'
delay in the use of the guns often an im

The Pat chen Horns.
The exhibition of four colts of this cele-.
brated stock at the Fourth National
Horse Show will give interest to what fols
lows relating to their history : The trot
ting horse, George M. Tatchen, no-r own
ed by Wm. Waltermire, of New York, and
kept near, that city, was sired by Csssius
Clay, a horso of high fame at the First
National Iloree Show. John Bulkley of
Bordentown, New Jersey, purchased the
Patchen horse when thiee years old, of
George M. Patehen, and named him after
his fir.it owner. Soon after tho purchase,
the colt w s taken sick with a distemper,
which left a thickness of the throat, from
which ic did not recover for several years.
On account of this thickness, Mr. Bulkley
rarely drove hiin hard, and it was report
ed that Falchen had uo bottom. During
all this time PHtchen was standing at the
atablo of liulkley, at SIS services, and do
ing but little business. The first proof of
his endurance and speed wus thus acci
dentally discovered : His owner, who al
ways insisted that he was a wonderful
horse, had occasion to seek the services
of a Mr. Humphries, a celebrated animal
painter of Camden, for a likeness of his
favorite. TIhj artist decided that the
horse would look best in motion, and sug
gested that he become excited and press
ed to the top of his speed. Mr. Bulkley
assented, and mounting him barebacked,
rode off to wake Mm up. Greatly to the
surprise of the artist, tho horse on his
leturn shot by like an arrow, rendering
almost impossible to get a sketch, and
obliging his owner to ride him bock and
forth several times before Mr. Humphries
rould transfer him to paper. Ihiring all
this exercise of many niilen, the horse
showed no indications of fatigue or signs
of distress, and from that moment his
reputation began. Well do we remember

An Editor on Editors.'
Artemus Ward, late local editor of the
Cleveland riaindeoler, gives the following
advice to young men who aspire to be
come editors of newspapers:
" Befoje you go for an editor, young
man, pause and take a big think. Do
not run at it rashly. Look iround nnd
see if there is not an omnibus to drive
some soil somewhere to be tillod a clerk
ship ef some meat cart to be fil'el any
thing that is reputable and heslthy, rather
than going for an editor, which is hard
business at best.
" We are r.ot a horse, and have conse
quently not been called upon to furnish
the motive power for a threshing machine;
but we fancy that the life of an editor who
is forced to write, write, write, whether he
feels ri;ht or not, is much like the steed
in question. If the yeas and neighs could
be obtained, we believe the intelligent
horse would decide that the threshing
machine is preferable to the sanctum cdi
torial.
" The editor's work is never dor.e. lie
is drained incessantly, and no wonder that
ho dries up prematurely. Other people
can attend banquets, weddings, &c, visit
halls of dazzling light, get inebriated,
break windows, lick a man occasionally
and enjoy themselves in a variety of ways;
bjl the editor cannot. He must stick te
naciously to the quill. The precs, like a
sick baby, mustn't be loft alone for a mo
ment. If tho press if left to run itself for
a day, some absurd person indignantlj
orders the carrier boy to stop bringing
' that infernal paper. There's nothing in
it. I won't have It in the house.'
''The elegant Mantelina, reduced to
I mangie turning, uesenbed nis lite as a
j'dcm'd horriMo grind." The life of an
I editor is all of that.
I " Put there is gre. 1 t ime coming, wa
feel confident, for the editor a time when
be will be appreciated ; when he will have
a front seal; when lie will have a pie.
