DY U1CKAT.
A year ago, I hhd; n elilld,
A little daughter fair anr mild;
More precious, than my llfo In nin,
Sbo sleeps beneath the ehurchyurd tree'.
Obl'sbo vrnt pood as (he was fair,
Her presence was like balmy nir;
Hue was n radiance In iny mom,
She was sunlight In my gloom.
Sho loved Ihec well, ihou liltlo bird,
Iter vnioe end thino were ever heard:
Tboy rnuieil mo when tho i.iornins shoncj
I!ut now I hear thy'roice alone,
Giio railed me gently to ber .sldo,
Gave me her bird, nnd, smiling, died.
Thou wcrt her last beijuest to mes
J loved her fondly I lovo thee.
Tis true, I often think it hard,
Sweet Inrlt, to keep theo here embarr'd,
Whilst ihou art singlnc all day lon,
As if the fields inspired thy song,
As if the fjoivers, the woods, tho ilrnini,
Were present in thy waking dreamt;
Hut yit, liow can I let thee flj?
Wlmt cooldsl thou do with liberty?
Whntcntitdst thon do? Alas, for mel
Wlint should I do jl wanting thee,
Sole rclio of my Lucy dear?
There liueds no lolk thou'rt prisoner here.
Hut I will innko thy durance sweet,
I'll bring Ibo lurf to cool thy feel;
Fresh lurf, with daisies tlpp'd in pink,
And wulor from tho well to drink.
I need theo. Were it not to choose,
Ere eunslmio dry (he morning dew?.
Thy fresh pre en turf, I should not stray
Out to tho fields the live long dayi
I should bo ciplivo to llio town,
And waste my life in alleys brown:
Thy wants impel mi to the award,
And Nature's faco is my reward,
Sweet bird, thou wakeneit by Ihy song
ririglit memories and affection' strong!
At siftht of lho I dream of Howcfc,
And runoinj; elreanis, und branching bow
err: rtut most rf her whosi little lace
Was luminous with love and grace;
Thou art a link I may not break
I hue 'I ce for mv I.ucv's sake.

A moment, the object Gtooi facing me,
wlion the footsteps of some of the sailors

Into tbo dtck near Ibe stem-batch.
Two old tar enme up to where I still
sat, and asked mo if I had soen any oua

I related what I bad seen, and upon
comparing notes we nil agreed that it

looked so like ''MtlgEins" we wero satis
fied it was be, id tha body or out of It;
und, nys old Tom Seabtiry:
"U'a not tho first time I've eccu him,
neither, silica ha vrut overboard., nnd
the captain's steward saws he seed him,
too,"
Thh;, then.nas the causa of the strange
feeling Ibid had pervaded tbo ship's crovf
for tho last few dars,
A'J for my own part I determined to
find out whether it was a ghost or not.
With Ibis object Iu view 1 stationed
myself at my former perch near the
hittchuny; but although I watched for
thrco succeeding uighta 1 did not get n.
sight of my supernatural Yisitor, nor bad
nuy of the crew seen bim ui far as I could
learn,
Tho fourth night, however, as myself
ond two snilom were discusiii.g the sub-
jeot of gbt)3ts,wa were al) nt once startled
by n sureum Irom below in the vicinity
of the eaptnin'n provision-room.
Wa hastened tb Irarn tho cause, r.nd
met the cabiu steward coming rip with a
face ns white cs fi sheet and trembling
in every limb, evidently scared nearly to
death.
It was soma time befor be could cx?
plain bi fright, wbich wrs that ha had
just torn the ghest, nud that in the pro-
vmou-room.
This room was always kept licked) he
had gona in to get provisions, when tho
ubilo object bad risen up out of a dark
corner find coma toward him. At this
he gava n ccream the oue wa bod heard
nud banking out he closed the door,
which fastened with n spriugdockj
Mud," said be, "ha is lu there yet, un
less he pit out through tbo kejhols."
This latter idea I langhnd at, as a sus
picion of the truth flished across my
mind.
"Coraoon, boys," I said to my com
rades; dive'Jl now catoh this scarecrow,
cr I'm mistaken In my reckoning.1'
Tiny appeared to htsitale, to getting a
light I took the head; r r.lvinij at the
door, thestawtrl handed rn the koy,
stepped back, end opened the door and
fUshe 1 thg littht around the room.
Yr; thcro it was, not n, ghost, but
"Muggins,'' in propria persona, dresstd
in a while shirt and drapers, looking
yery crestfallen and sheepish,
'B ),'' he gtld.. "I own upbeat at
last, but Tie had a heap of tun, and
plenty to cat In Ibo birgalu."
The reason lor this slraugo behaylor
be gave ns na fidowk
"When wo wcro put on allowance, I
concluded I would pity a little game of
my own, nud hTe plenty to ent,
"So, searching around, J found an old
box with a loose lid for n oovor This 1
nearly cayered up with some ojd cord
age and finds behind the stern hatchway.
Tlure I kept ptysclf during the daytime,
and when likely (o be discovered T got
into the box and drew ou the povtr
oyer me,
"At dusk I watchtdtbe captain's stew
ard go into Ibe provision-room, nnd tin
knottti to hm I pot iu and. concealed
mjself from bis obserr.ttiou then I
helped tnyuelf to all I wanted to cat,
nnd sjouriug ecnugb to last several days
I waited for bis next visit.wben I slipped
out iu tho name planner be bad citngbt
n glimpse of me once or twice, and, as I
personated a 'ghost,' he bad, as I iulend,
ed, taken ma for one, but my own care,
ltssness this evening has spoiled my
iun,"
We wero so Well pleased at netting our
fellow-passenger, whom we had counted
ai dead, with ns again, that wo forgave
bim bis tricks
lint not so Ibe captain; be swore be
would put bim lu irons but "Muggins"
had loo many friends to allow it so he
escaped with a reprimand.
So, kind reader, tbi is the "ghost'' on
shipboard.
We soou got into the Mexican pert of
Acapnlco, nnd ''Mnggius'' bad no more
occasion to play "ghost1" in order to get
plenty to tat.

of worldly wealth. Ha could not nff ird
to build 11 house, and Urmjiio. was dc
ttrinineil not marry until they could be-
(jin life in a, cozy, independent hr,iqo pf
their own,
The subject was ona of great nnxlety
to D.tn. lio spent n great dtrtl of time
planulug and cuutriving bow he could
raise money enough to build a cottogo
like Hen Morrill's.
So now, ns he stood there, planning
out Ida bou,sp for the five hundredth
time, ha grew so interested in it (hat he
fell to thinking aloud, and confided all
his hopes lo tho carpeuter's bench nnd
tools, nsvar drenr:)Iur that ho had an
other auditor.
How should he know that Uncle
Nathau Halo had just conipostd himself
for n snocza up, tho wide bench under
t'qa open window of hjs shop, and was
listening intently to every word be pnid?
There was Mi-spicions moisture in Un
cle Nathan eyes and n suspifilons quiv
er ou bis lips, Hs wits vary fnud of his
nephew nud hli pretty flancoe, and he
thought it really too b.td that they could
not have their houao.
' Hero am I.'' quoth Uncle Nathan to
himself, ''vortb a snug forlt-na, aud. no
ear my use lor It, und really"
Aud then nud there Uncle Nalbnn
lorrofil n plan wbich ho resolved to put
Imra-diatoly into execution,, 80 he said
to Dad the next morning
'D.tn, I waut you lo build a houro for
me."
"A house for you, Uncla Nathan?
Wtiat iu Ibo wcrld do ou want of a
home? Ar6 yoo foing to get married?"
t'Thnt is none of yonr business," said
Unpla Nathan, irra.cibly. "Will voil
iiuderlaka the job. or jipu't you?".
Of course," replied Dan, who under
stood the old gentlgmnti'd peculiarities
"But when, where, nul how is it lobe
b-iilt?"
"I want it to be commenced right off,"
s-ild Uncla Nathan, decidedly. "And I
want it liuill on that corner Jot of mine
where the big elfps stand, That's a fine
building spot. It is to be a cottage.
You've seeu Den Morrill'.? Wt)l, that
is lbs style; only my cottage is to be eer
so much prettier than his. I'll leavo it
loyoor judgment and taste, Make jl
just such a house as you'd like for your-
sen, auu you are not lo Dottier mo
about it. Tuke it entirely into your
baud. Hire all tbo workmen you want;
only get it dono as soon ns possible. Call
on me wbepever yon waut funds ; ex
jiense is no object.'
"Uncle Nathan, I do believe you ore
going to get married!" laughed the aston
isbed nephew.
Uncle Nathan's eyes twinkled ns bo
answered: 'You build me a pretty bouse,
aud J'll propiiss you thcro aball be a
1'retty womnn in it within a month from
the day it is iuiliod.''
That evening Dan told Ermina about
the pottage which ha was to build, and
that be b.elleed Uncla Nathau had
matrimonial Intentious. Wnereat they
both fell to guessing whom be wan going
to marry, Dan gifsie'l Miss Naucy
Dawes, but Minule believed it the Widow

So Dm went lo work at Uncla Nathan'"

the pride, tho enthusiasm which he
would have bestowed upon the Ideal
cottage of his uwu. Once in a while
Pncle Nathau cams to look at tbo build

When ot last it was Ml flnUhed, nd

and ever) body who passed said tt was
tho prettiest bouse la towp.Uncla Nathan
said o Dan;
"Mow I want It furnished. I don't
know the first thing about the furoliblog
of a bouse; It lakes a woman for that.
So I waut Ermina Lovering lo select and
arrange the filings. She has more taste
than uuy woman I know.'
"Except Miss Nauoy D.iwes, Uncle
Nathau," slyly BUgjcsted Pau,
Miss Nancy Dawes ba hanged!"' ex.
