OUE FIRESIDE.
Rich Autumn, with ber gVden store,
May count her treaj-ures o'er and o'er,
And sayuch wealth did ne'er bforo
The land betide; ..
'And fruits and flowers. and yellow sheaves
Are gathered in, and withered leave
Are all the trawler eye peiceives
In prospect wide
Hut give to me the sheltoied room.
Where neither minds nor eaou'f gloom,
Caa blight our joyous mental bloom
By our fireside !
How sweet to ramble through aome book.
Or chat with friends in scial ntiok.
With children round. on whom to lock
With honest pride !
And then to have the meeting crowned
With some old ditty s cordial sound,
Oi git and hear the tale go "round,
Or aught beside
Which may the passing hour engage
Of life we'll eon the varied page,
And hope for happy, good old ago
By our fireside.
THE OLD YEAR.
We bare closed the book and laid it by,
And ever thus mast it? pages lie ;
We can not unoiasp the iids again,
Nor write its record with brighter pen.
Ah ! many the lines we would retrace
And many the stains we would erase
But the time has fled lrom us away,
Weeannot recall a tingle day.
Our lives bave no backward paths to tread ;
The words we utter are ne'er unsaid;
We never can dream the self-same dream.
Nor reverse the onward flowing stream.
Oh ! then let us each in meekness now
Iiore our Maker in heaven bow,
And pardon ask for every sin.
Which the closed book doth hold within.
And as another again we opn.
With Us pnre white pnges.full of hops,
May we look to him and humbly pray
t or strenlh to terp it as pure eann, day.
THE LOST WILL.
The scenes T am about to de scribe occur
red about the year 1SG0, to a respectable
family by the name oi Cuiverton, ia Orangt
county, .New York.
The Culvertons had lived in the old fami
ly inaaHon and enjoyed the revenues of the
family estate tor many yeans, without tfe
slightest doubt that they had a right to it,
rhsn suddenly there started up, from good
ness knows where, an individual who laid
claim on the property, and seemed likely to
prove his claim to all Lut the Culvertons.
themselves.
Ii was certain, Jabez Hardy was thenear-t-st
relative, and certain that Mrs. Culver
ton was only agraud-nWeof Hiram Hardy,
deceased ; but the Culvertons had lived
vith she old man for years, and he had
juoiiii.-ed, time aud again to leave them ev
erything. He bad even declared that his
will was made in their favor; and that such
a document was actually in existence, M r.
Cuiverton could uot doubt; but diligent
search had been made iu vain, and Jabez
Hardy, whom the old man never saw, was
ro tate the place of people he love J so fond
ly, and vriiu had been his comfort in his last
hours.
"It was a atne !" said every one.
'A e uel wicked thing!" sobbed Mrs.
Cuiverton.
And Mr. Cuiverton, who had never ex
pected a reverse, was quite crushed as the
pending lawsuit progre.-sed.
A thousand times a day he said.
'"How providential it would be if uncle
Hiram's ' will would tut n up at this jno
uient." "I wonder how he rests, poor man, with
ruch injustice going on."
But no matter what they paid, or how they
managed, no will was found, and Jabez rub
led his hands in triumph.
It washtianjrc that while matters were in
this con liti.m one so deeply interested as
Mrs. Culvertcn necessarily was.should dream
oi anything ehe; but dream the did, night
after nhiht, of an entirely different subject.
Inevitably, lor a week at least, she had
no cooner clo.-ed her eyes , than she found
herself in an intelligence office, full of em
ployees of all ages and nations, and face to
lace with a girl of small stature, with white
Scutch features, and singular blue eyes.wide
apart aud staiiug, who desired the situation
if cook.
At first hhe did not like the girl. but in ev
ery drtam she found her aversion vanish.
After a tew moment's conversation, and
invariably, it had began to melt, when the
gin looked at her and said :
"I'd like to hire with you ma'am."
It was alw.ys the same of ce always the
same worfls were uttered until Mrs. Cui
verton began to think there must be some
thin? in the dream.
'"Thnuch it can't come true," she said,
"for while Johannah remains here I shall
fever hire another cook."
And just a? the said this there was a
Kteam in the kitchen, and the little errand
firl ran in, frightened out of h2r senses, to
'ell how Johanna, lifting the wash boiler,
tal fallen with it and swirled herself.
Mrs. Cuiverton followed the young girl in
to the kitchen, and found Johanna in a
retched condition; and tie doctor being

ternnon, went to New York to find one at
te intelligence office. -Strange
to say, in the bustle she bad
quite forgotten her dream, until she sud

ne had seen in it. A small young woman
ith very singular blue eye in a white face,
nd whose features betrayed Scottish origin.

lhe girl biushen.
'"I don't know," she said, "only it seems
to me I'd like to live with yo i."
It seemed a fatal thing to Mrs. Cuiverton,
but she put the usual questions aud receiv
ed the most satisfactory answers, except as
to references.
"Rut I can't employ you without refer
ence," said Mrs. C, knowing that fate had
decreed that this girl should take a place in
her kitchen.
'"If you can't I must out with it," said
the girl. "There's my lady's name, ma'am.
She will tell you 1 am honest and capable ;
but she turned me off for Lightening the
family."
""How?" asked Mrs. Cuiverton.
'"Seeintr shosts !" replied the girl. "Ev
ery day I saw a little child in white playing
a'lout the house ; and all said there was no
such child there, though there had been one
once, but he was dea Mistress said I
pretended to see it for the sake of imperti
nence, arid she discharged me ; but I knew
by her trembling that ."-he thought I had
seen a ghost. I went to a doctor and he
called it optical delusion, and it would toon
pass away ; and sure enough, I have not
seen it .-inco I left the house."
It was a queer story; but Mrs. Cuiverton
believed it, and before she left the office, had
hired Jessie to fill 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 and tea
tiraa came. The Culvertons never ate any
thing but a biscuit or a cake at this, nieal,
and cups were handed about in the sitting
room. Jessie came in at the appointed
hour with her tray, served every one, and
then stood smiling before Mrs. Cuiverton as
she said : -"
' "Piease ma'am, let me pass you, the old
gentleman has not yet been helped. Yes,
sir, in a minute."
"The old gentleman!" cried Mrs. Cui
verton. '"Ves ma'am-behind yon in the corner
there, please."
"There's no gentleman, young or old,
there," said the lady. "I caa' t imagine
what you took for one."
The girl made no answer but turned quite
white and left the room. Mrs. O. followed.
At first she could extort no explanation,
but by and by the girl declared she saw an
old gentleman sitting in an arm chair in
the corner, who beckoned to her, and she
fancied in a hurry for his tea.
"What did he look like?" asked Mrs.
Cuiverton.
"He was thin and tall," Paid the girl
"his hair was white andery long, and I
noticed that one of his knees looked stiff,
and a thick gold-headed cane beside him."
"Uncle Hiram ?" cried Mrs. Culvertcn,
"upon my word you've described my great
grand-uncle, who has been dead for twenty
years."
Jessie beean to cry.
"'I shail never keep a place," she said.
"You will turn me away now."
"isee as many ghosts as you p!oa-e," bhe
paid, "as long as you lon"t brin them be
fore mv eves." and went back M her tea
w"nhout saying a word to any of the family
on the subject, although she was extieuialy
mystified.
Surely if the girl had never seen her nncle
Hiram which was not likely, considering
that he had been dead ne nly her whole life
time she must have seen something in the
ghost line; and if indeed, it were une'.e Hi
ram's spirit, why should he iot come to aid
them iu their trout ie? Mrs. Cuiverton had
a! ways a little superstition hidden in her
soul, and she scon began to believe this ver
sion of the case.
'The next morning she went into theTcitch
cn and shutting the dour, said to Jessie:
"Mv rood srirl, I do not intend to dismiss
you, so be quite frank with me. I do not
believe that these forms are optical illusions, i
I feel sure that they arc actual spirits. !
W hat do you think ?
"I think as you do, ma'am," said the
girl. "Our folks have always seen jrhosts,
and grandfather had the second sight for
ten years before he died."
"'If you should see the old gentleman you
told of again," said Mrs. Cuiverton, "be
sure and tell me. I'll keep the story from
the j'oung folks, and Mr. Cuiverton - wou:d
only lau.!:h at it; but you describe my dear
old graud uncle, and my belief is you saw
him."
The girl promised to mention anything
that might happen, to her mistress ; and
from that day an interchange of glances be
tween them and a subsequent conference in
the kitchen was of in quent occurrence.
The girl saw her apparation seated on the
sofa in the parlor, seated at the dinner-table,
walking in the garden, and so self like
was it that she found it impossible to re
frain from parsing plates and cups and sau
cers to it, to t he indnite amusement of peo
ple who saw only cmpiy air in the same
spot.
By and by she invariably spoke of her
ghost as the old gentleman, and was more
affected by his presence than by that of a
living being. If it was an optical illusion it
was the most singular on record.
But all this while ghost or no ghost
the figure never spoke, and never did any
thing to help the Culvertons in their dilem
ma, and the lawsuit was nearly terminated,
without the shadow ot 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 kindness and atten
tion to their aged relative whom they tru
ly loved and honeted would probably be
homeless.
One morning, Mr?. Cuiverton Fat over
ber Ireak fast after the others had left the
. .kiniinonf this, when Jessie came in.
"I've something to tell you ma am, she
Cuiverton starred, and t
could only siy : "Why?"
said. "There's a change in the eld gentle
man.
"What do you mean?" asked Mrs. Cui
verton. 1 ve seen him twice at the foot of my
bed iu the uight,"said the girl ; ""and tho igh
he always, before ine, has been kind and
pleasant looking, now he frowns and looks
angry. He beckons me to go somewhere,
aud 1 don't date, in the night time."
.""You must," said Mrs. Cuiverton. "I
know he will come agaiu ; and I'il Mt wkh
you ail night and go where you o. It may
ba of great u.-e to us all Jessie."
"'I shan't be afraid, ma'am, if I have
compauy," said Jessie, in the most matter-of-fact
mauner, and carried out the break
fast thing. -
All the day they never spoke on the sub
ject; but, on retiring, Jessie found her mis
tress m her bed-room wrapped in a shawl.
"I'lu ready, you see,"she said. And Jes
sie merely loosened some buttons and hooks
and lay down, dressed.
Ten o'clock passed eleven twelve. Mrs.
Cuiverton began to doubt, when suddeuly
she saw Jessie s eyes dilate in a most pecu
liar manner, and, iii an instant more, the
girl said : "'Why here he is, ma'am !"
"There's no one there," said Mrs. Cui
verton. "Oh,yes ma'am ! I see him," said the girl.
"He's iu great excitcmem, ma'am ; he's
taking out his watch to look at, and the chain
is made of such bright yellow hair, I thought
at first it was gold."
"His wile's hair," said Mrs. Cuiverton.
"It was hurried with him. You see old ua
cle Hiram. Does he bok at me?"
"Yes, ma'am," said Jessie.
"Uncle," said Mrs. C, "do you know
me after all these years ?'
"He nods," said the girl.
"Have you come to heTy us dearuncle ?"
said the lady.
Uncle Hiram was described as nodding
very kindly and beckoning.
'Tie wants us to follow him," said the
lady, and look the light. The moment she
opened the door Jessie saw the figure pass
through it.
Mrs. Cuiverton still could see nothing.
Obedient to the girl's movements, Mrs. C.
deceuded the stairs and stood in the library.
The ghost paused before a book case. .
"He wants me to open it," said Jessie.
1 'Do so," said the lady.
lie signs to take uowa the books," said
the girl.
And Mrs. Culverton's own bands went to
work. Book after book was taken down
novels aud romance, poems and plays.
A pi'e of volumes lay upon the library car
pet, and still the ghost pointed to the rest
till they were a ll d jwn.
"He looks troubled, ma'am. He seems
trying to think," said the girl. "Oh, mi'aui,
he's gone to the other case!"
And so, to cut a long story short, the
four great book caieswere emptied without
apparent result.
Suddenly Jessie screamed :
"lid's in the air. Hu's risen, ma'am to
tho top of the case. He wants me to climb
!" . . "
"Gt the step?," Jessie, said her mistress
and Jessie obeyed.
On the very top of ona of the cases, and
covered by cobwebs, she found an old Ger
man hook, aud brought it dowu.
"'This was there," she said. Mrs. Culver
ton took it in her hand, aud from between
the leaves dropped a foldsd paper fastened
with red tape aud scaled.
The lady, picked it up, and read on the
outside these words:
"TUel'.ust icilland statement of Hiram
For a little wh'le she could only weep and
tremble; soon she found word:
"Uncle," she said, "in the name of my
husband, and my dean hiidreu, I thank you
from my soul. Does he hear me, Je.-sic?"
"'Yes; ha nods aud smiles," said the girl.
"Wiil you let me see youuncle? ' said
Mrs. Cuiverton.
"He has gone." said the girl. "He ha3
kissed his hand and gone."
And so he had for good ; for from that mo
ment he was never seen a train by niortil eye.
Nobody believed the s ory of his appear
ance. But the will had be?n discovered,
without doubt, am the Culvertons were no
longer in danger of expulsion from their
old home. There they lived and died, and
Jessie remained ur.til she married; and all
her life received every kindness from the
faniilv, who were indebted to her singular
peculiarity for their comfort aud happiness.
Whether Uncle Hiram's spirit real y came
back to earth or not, is a question; but Mrs.
Cuiverton always asserts that it did, and
quarreled with every one who ventures to
doubt the assertion.
A Frog Storv. The Farminzton (Me.)
Chronicle, says M jor Dili, of Phillips, sends
us the following interesting item : "A far
mer in this town a short time since, in dig
ging a well, ca;ie upon a scaly or irregularly
laminated nnk, about two feet below the
surface of the ground. Through this Ie l?e
he workel down by blasting, four feet fur
ther, at. which depth he found three frogs,
completely embedded in the rock. These
frogs were each from three to four inches
in length, but about an eighth of an inch in
thickness, appearing as if flattened out by
pressure. In about ten minutes after they
were thrown out, they showed sizns of life,
by slight motions or tw'nges of the eye.
They also com. nenced inflating themselves
and growing thicker, and in the course of
half an hour hopped off. They were nearly
the same color as the ledge in which they
were found."
Love. A matter-of-fact philosopher as
serts that "Love is to domestic life what
butter is to hroad it possesses little nour
ishment in itself, but gives substantial a
grand relish, whithout which they would be
hard to swallow."
