SOMERSET, PA., WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 22. 1S73.
THE HII.IHtKX.
When the lessen and task arc all ended.
And the school for the day 1 dtiinlssed,
And the little one father around me.
To bit me good niirht and be klsncd;
Oh, the little white anus that cn. lrclo
My neck id .tender embrace!
Oh, the (mile that are halo of he aven.
Shedding ruushlne ol loe on my face?
And when they are ironc I sit ilrcitiuln
Of my childhood too lovely to last;
Ol love that my heart will rciueinlicr.
When it wake to the pulse of the past,
Era Uio world and It wickedness made me
A partner of sorrow and sin.
Whey the (rlifl-jr of Ood was almut me.
And the (lory of gladness within.
Oil, my heart irrnw weak a . woman's,
And the fountains of feeling will 11-w,
When I think of the paths steep and stony,
Where the fret of the dear ones mutt no;
O! the mountains of sin hanln o'er them,
Or the tempest of fate blowing wild :
Oh! there Is nothing on earth half soh.dy
A the innocent heart of a child !
There are idol of heart and household :
There are angel of (Jod In disiruisc;
His sunlight still leci In their tresaes.
Hi glory still gleams iu their eyes;
t 111 ! these truants Inun home and In. in heaven
They have made me more manly and mild !
And I know how Jerus could liken.
The kingdom or Ood to a child.
I ak not a life for the dear one.
All radiant as other hare done.
Hut that life may have llt enough shadow
To temper the glnrc of the fun;
I would pray lod to guard them Iran evil,
Hut uvy prayer would Isiund back In In .-lf;
Ah ! a seraph may pray for a fiiiucr.
Jlut sin aer must pray lor hiinsell.
The twig Is so easily bended,
I have banished the rule and the rod :
I have taught them the goodness of knowledge.
They have taught me thegoi.lnesJ of Ood:
My heurt I . dungeon ol darkness,
Where I shut them from breaking n rule:
My frown fssulllclciit correction:
My love Is the law of the s.-h.sd.
I shall leave the old house In the autumn.
To traverse It threshold no more:
Ah ! how I shall sigh for the dear ones,
Thit meet me each morn at the d.xr !
Ihall mis the "g.md nights" and the kies.
And the gush of tht ir innocent glee.
The group on the green, and the tlowerer
TI a, are brought ererr morning to nie.
1 shall miss them nt morn and at eve,
Their ong In the nch.sd and the :rcet;
I shall mif the low hum of their voice.
And the tramp of their delicate feet.
W hen the lessons and tasks are all ti led.
And death says "The school is disiuKsol V
Mvy the little one gather around me.
To bid me good night and be kissed.

revenues of the family estate for
many years, without the slightest
doubt but that they had a right to it,
when suddenly there started up, from
goodness knows where, un individu
al who laid claim to the property, and
seemed like to prove it to nil but the
Ciilvertons themselves.
It was certain, .labez Ilanlv was
the nearest relative, and certain that
Mrs. ( ulverton was only a irrand
1 i -ce of 1 lira ni Ilardv, deceased ; but
the Ciilvertons had lived with the
old man for years, and had promised
time and again to leave them every
thing. He had even declared that
this will was made in their favor.
and that such a document was actu
ally in existance, Mr. Culverton
could not doubt, but diligent search
was made in vain, and Jabez Hard',
whom the old man never saw, was
to take the place of the people he
loved S j fondly, ami who had Icon
his comfort in his last hours.
'It was a f-lianie !"' said every one.
'A cruel, wicked thing !"' sobbed
Mrs. Culverton.
And Mr. Culverton who had never
expected a reverse, was tpiite crushed
as the pending law-suit progressed.
A thousand times a day he said :
"How providedtial it would be if
Uncle Hiram's will should ttiru tip at
this moment.''
I wonder how he can rest, poor
man, with such an injustice going
on."
Hut no matter what they said or
how thev managed, no will was
found, and Jabez rubbed his hands
in triumph.
It was stiangc that whi.e matters
were in this condition, one so deeply
interested in this subject as .Mrs. Cul
verton necessarily was, she should
dream of anything e lse. I!ut dream
she did, night after night, of an en
tirely different subject.
Inevitably, for a week at least, she
had no sooner closed her eyes than
she found herself in an intelligence
oflice, full of employees of all ages
and nations, aud face to face with a
girl ot small stature, with white
Scotch features, and singular blue
eyes wide apart and staring, who de
sired the situation of cook.
At lirst she did not like the girl,
but in every dream she found her
aversion vanish.
After a moment's conversation, and
invariably it had begun to melt when
the girl looked at her and said :
' I'd like to hire with you ma'am."
It was always the same office
always the same girl always the
same words were uttered until
Mrs. Culverton began to thiiik there
was something in the dream.
"Though it can't be true," said she,
"for while Johanna remains with me,
I shall never hire- a cook."
And just as she said this, there
was a scream in the kitchen, and the
little errand girl ran in frightened
out of her tenses, to tell how Johan
na, lifting the wash boiler, had fall
en with it and scalded herself.
Mrs. Culverton followed the
youg girl into the kitchen, and
found Johanna in a wretched condi
tion ; and the doctor being sent for,
she was put to bed and declared use
less for her domestic capacity for at
least a mouth to come. A tempora
ry substitute must be had, and Mrs.
Culverton that very afternoon, went
to New York to find out at the intel
ligence office.
Strange to say, in the bustle she
had quite forgotten her dream, until
sho stood face to face with the very
girl she had seen in .it. A young
woman with very singular blue eyes
in a small white face, and whose fea
tures betrayed Scottish origin. She
had risen this girl from a seat
in the office, and stood before her
twisting her apron strings and court
gcying. "I'd like to hire to you, ma'am,"
she said.
The very words of the dream, al

so. Mrs. Culverton started, ami in
her confusion could only say :
"Why ?"
The trirl blushed.
"I don't know," she said, "only it
i seems to me Id like to live with
! VOU."
It seemed a fatal thing to Mrs.
Culverton. to put the most usual
questions anil receive the most satis
factory answers except in references,
"lint 1 can't employ you wtihout
reference," said Mrs. C, knowing
that rate had decreed tins girl khould
take a place in her kitchen.
"If vim tfton't T iiint. iint willi it "
said the girl. "There's my lady's
name, ma'am. She will tell you I'm
honest and capable : but she turned
me off for frightening the family."
"HowT asked Mrs. Culverton.
"Seeing ghosts !" replied the girl
"Every day I saw a little child i.i
white playing about the house ; and
all said there was no such child,
though there had been once, but he
was dead. Mistress said I pretend
ed to see for the sake of inipertineuce
and she discharged me ; but I knew
by her trembling that she thought I
h::d seen a jrhost. I went to the
doctor, ami he called it optical delu
sion, audit would soon pass away;
j and sure enough I have not seen it
since I left the house."
i It was a queer story ; but Mrs Cul-
' verton believed it, and when she hail

Johanna's place, for the space of one
month from that day. That evening
she came and went to work with a
will.
Dinner time passed comfortably
ami tea time came. The Culverton's
never ate anything but biscuit or
cake at this meal, and cups were
handed about in the sitting room.
Jesse came in at the appointed hour
with her tray, served every one and
then stood smiling before Mrs. Cul
verton, m she said :
"I lease ma am, let me pass you,
the old gentleman has not been help
ed. Yes sir, in a minute."
"The old gentleman !"' cried Mrs.
Culverton.
"Yes, ma'am behind you in the
corner there, please."
"There's no gentleman, young or
old, there," saitl the lady. "I can't
imagine what you took fur one.
The girl made no answer, but
turned tpiite white and left the room.
Mrs. C. followed.
At first she could not extort an
explanation, but by and by the
gill d- elared she saw an old 'gentle
man s'tting in the corner, who beck
oned t ) her, and she fanciefl in a
hurrv for his tea.
"What did he look like?" asked
Mrs. C.
"lie was thin and tall," said the
girl, "his hair was white, and very
long, and I noticed that one of his
knees looked stiff, and - thick gold
headed cane beside him." Cncle
Hiram !" cried Mrs. Culverton, "up
on 1113- wortl, you've described my
great uncle, who has been dead for
twenty years."
"I shall never keep a place," saitl
she, "You will turn me away now."
"Sec as man' ghosts as you please,"
said she, "as' long as vou don't brimr
1 hem before my eyes," and went
ba k to her tea without saying a
word to any of the family on the
subject, although she was extremely
mystified.
Surely if the girl had ever seen her
uncle Hiram which was not likely,
considering time she must have
seen something in the ghost line, aud
if, indeed, it were her uncle Hiram's
spirit, why should he not come to
aid them iu their trouble ? Mrs. Cul
verton always had a little superstition
hidden in her soul, aud she soon be
gan to believe this version of the
case.
The next morning she went into
the kitchen, and shutting the door
said to Jessie :
"My good girl, I do not intend to
dismiss you, so be quite frank with
me. I do not believe that these
forms are optical illusions. I feel
sure that they are actual spirits.
What do you think ?"
"I thiuk as you do," she said.
"Our folks have always seen
ghosts, and grandfather had the scc-j
ond sight for ten years before he
died."
' If you should see the old gentle
man you told me of again," said Mrs.
Culverton, "be sure and tell me. Lll
keep the story for the young folks,
and Mr Culverton would only laugh
at it; but you described my dear old
graud uncle, anil my belief is yon
saw him."
The girl promised not to mention
any thing that might happen to her
mistress, and from that day an inter
change of glances between them, and
a subscqtieut conference in the kitch
en was of regular occurrence.
She saw the apparition seated on
the sofa in the parlor, seated at the
dinner table, walking in the- garden,
and so life-like was it, that she found
it impossible to refrain from passing
plates, cups and saucers to it, to the
infinite amazement of people who saw
only the empty air iu the same spot.
Uy and by she invariably spoke of
her ghost as the old gentleman, and
was no more affected by his presence
than by that of a living person. If
it were an optical illusion, it was the
most singular on record.
But all the while ghost or no
ghost the figure never spoke, and
never did anything to help the Cul
vertons in their dilemma, and the
lawsuit was nearly terminated with
out the shadow of a doubt in Jabez
Hardy's favor.
In three days all would be over ;
and the Culvertons who had earned
their property, if ever mortals did by
their kindness antl attention to their
aged relatives--whom they truly
loved and honored would probably
be homeless.
One morning Mrs. Culverton sat
over breakfast after the others had
left the room, thinking of this when
Jesse came in.
"I've something to tell ma'am,"
said she. "There's a change in the
old gentleman."
"What do you mean ?" asked Mrs.
Culverton.
"I've seen him twice at tlie foot of
my bed in the night, and though al
ways before he has been kind and
pleasant looking, now he frowns
and looks angry. He beckons" to me
to go somewhere and I don't dare
in the night time."
"You must." said Mrs. Culverton.
"I know he'll come again ; I'I sit up
all night and go. It may be of great
use to us all, Jessie."
"1 shan't lie afraid m.s'am, if I have
company," saitl Jesse, in the most
matter-of-fact manner, and

AII day they never spoke on the
subject ; but on retiring Jessie found
her mistress in her bed ro-mi wrap

"I'm ready you see," said Mrs. C.
Jessie merely loosed some buttons
and hooks ami lay down dressed.
Ten o'closk passed eleven-twelve,
Mrs. Culverton licgau to doubt, when
suddenly she saw Jessie's eyes dilate
iu a most peculiar manner, ami in an
instant tht; girl said ;
"Why, here he is ma'am."
"There's no one there," saitl Mrs.
Culverton.

the girl, and took up the light. The

A pile of volumes lay upon the library-

"He looks troubled, ma'am. He
seems trying to think." said the girl.
"Oh, ma'i'.in he's gone to the other
case !"'
And so, to cut a long story short,
the four great book cases were emp
tied without apparaiit result.
Suddenly Jessie screamed :
"He's in the chair. He's risen,
ma'am, to the top of the case. He
wants me to climb up."
"Oct the steps, Jessie," said her
misstrrs3 and Jessie obeyed.
On the very top of one of the cases,
covered by cobwebs, she found an
obi German book and brought it
down.
"This was there," she saitl. Mrs.
Culverton took it out of lief hand;
from between its leaves dropped a
foldetl pnpcr.fn stencd with red tape'and

The lady picked it up, und read on
the outside these words:

Antl so he had for good; for from
that moment he was never seen again
by mortal eyes.
Nobody believed the story of his
appearance; but the will had been
discovered without a doubt, ami the
Culrert.ms were no longer in danger
from their old home. There they liv
ed and d'ed. Jessie remained until
she was married, and all her life re
ceived every kindness from the family
who were indebted to her singular pe
culiarity for their comfort and happi
ness. Whether Uncle Hiram's spirit real
ly came back to earth or not, is a
question; but Mrs. Culverton nlways
asserts that it did, and quarrels with
every one who ventures to doubt the
assertion.
A Fnnf rnl Disconrie.
A friend of mine recently attended
the funeral of a middle aged lady
who was greatly beloved by the com
munity in which she died. Her fami
ly was large and highly respectable,
but having moved a long time pre
vious from a neighboring State not
much was known of their origin.
The obsequies were attended by a
large and sympathizing company. J
Tlie preacher opened his discourse
by speaking of the good character of
the deceased am! the sad occasion
which called the company together.
"But, my friends," said he, "un
known to you I have greater cause
for seriousness at this solemn time
than any onc before me. L'vcn these
sarviving relations who are most in
terested in what I am going to com
municate have forgotten the time
when, long ago and far off, they once
heard my voice. It is now almost
twenty years since the father of the
deceased, and of her brothers and
sisters, now seated around with oth
ers present, suddenly expired before
my eyes. Yes, I had the melancholy
satisfaction, among thousands of oth
ers, of seeing him hung. I read the
hymn which was sung ere he swung
and I hope though he seemed not
to relish my informing him that lie
would soon go from 'work to rewards,'
not to appreciate my kind advice gen
erally that as most persons who
die from the scaffold usually do, lie
went to glory right off." With this
cheerful and highly complimentary
reminiscence, the speaker took his
text from the chapter in the book of
Esther wherein is recorded the exe
cution of Hainan. From this he
drew, neck jind heels, the farfetched
inference that it was equally as hard
to tell how as when he would die.

Heads are of different shapes and
sizes. They are full of notions.
Large heads do not always hold the
most. Some persons can tell just
what a man is by the shape of his
head. High heads are the best kind.
Very knowing people are called long
headed. A fellow that won't stop for
anything or anybody . is called hot
headed. If he is not quite so bright
he is called softheaded. If he won't
be coaxed or turned they call him pig
headed. Animals have very small

out, after all, that the meanest man
is not the man we referred to the oth

than he. Burrows was an inveter

detested the practice and made home

when he indulged in the habit there,
he always chewed when away du

that he had stopped permanently.
But one evening, upon entering the
front door aud drawing out his hand

paper of tobacco, ami without notice
ing it, left it lying on the floor.
When Burrows sat down to his tea,
his wife walked in with the tobacco

firmly in the eve, said
Do you !

great presence of mind Burrows turn

And as he spoke the stern father

with starch, thus prepared, so as to
have it continually at ham! for use.

the suds or dish water, wipe them,
and while they arc yet damp rub a
portion of starch thoroughly over
them, covering the whole surface.

j I owe my success in life to onc
fact, said Henry Clay. At the age
of twenty-seven I commenced and
continued" for years the practice of
daily reading and speaking upon the
contents of some historical or scien
tific book. These off-hand or scien
tific efforts were made sometimes in
a corn field, at others in the forest,
and not unfrequently in some distant
barn, with the ox and horse for my
auditors. It is to this early practice
in the great art of art3 that I am in
debted for the primary and leading
impulse that stimulated me forward,
and shaped and moulded my entire
subsequent life. Improve then, young
gentleman, the superior advantages
you here enjoy. Let no day pass
without exercising the power of
