Captain Walter Marina was the proprietor of 'beautiful retreat in the South of England. fie had returned from India, at the expiration of is term of service. England had a charm fc him, In the shape of a pleasant little wife 1 one son ;. from India he ; hrought the i di d ughter or a brother officer, whose mother it d deserted her after, her husband's death. Katie Cardeen havery little of the English 1. appearance. She *as eight years old, smell, dark, lithe as 'it cat, with a peculiarly fieilble voice, and aunnies gray eye that held the observer as b s' a spell. A daughter was fall that Mrs. Marben wanted to reader bee happiness complete now that her husbaaii. was at home; and she let the poor usenet orphan right into her motherly heart. Walter, Junior, alternately was attracted and repelled by the little Indian. - The daughter of such a worthless mother could scarcely fail to display at times a stub born perversity of chew/ter ; 'still the gentle treatment she received,'lnd a wholesome we of the captain, held her in cheek. Captain Alaben was a lover of hospitality. an Silverwel , a was rarely warmed. guests. About the Chriamas holidays as many as a baker's dozen gathered round its hospitable fires for a week together. Katie was a universal favarite with the guests, and by kindness and judicious man— agement her natural bent fur wickedness watt gradually softened into a somewhat outland— ish spirit - of mischief, which as she grew older broke out occasionally, until at sixteen her usual routine of going to school nine months in the year, and helping Aunt Anna, ( Mrs. !Jerboa) and receive company the other three was broken in upon to her, great relief. The captain and his lady packed big trunks, carpet racks and buckets, and the whole family made an exodus to the estate of the captain's brother in the Emerald Isle. lidoeltsvallock was in the wild part of the Up Country, our the us shore, anti inhabited by alPrimitive set of people. The mansion itself was one of those old fashioned stone houses, almost like fortifies. tioni—too unpretending for a castle—with narrow mullioned windows, and s multiplicity of offices that would astonish an American. Thenumber' of windows testified that either the window tax bad teen abolished, or else that the proprietor was able to pay it without diminishing his light. There was en endless quantity of hiding holes about Kneeksvallock,_ and it did net take Katie long to explore them. Melly, the chambermaid, told her la aye- Lesions whispers that there was an old story of a ghost in the west end room, but that none of the present inhabitants hid sees, it, though Judy, the cook, averred that she had heard her mother say, that she heard Biddy Deane y= tell, that it`had been seen once twenty yearti ago; and Biddy had it from Kitty Sheridan, who lived in the house at that time. Katie beard all this quietly, and would have perhaps forgotten it, had it not been for the etonoto,y of her life at Knoolavallook. The rest of the visitors did not. arrive till two weeks after Captain Masten, and the time hung heavily on their hands. One day she asked Mr. Matteis for the key of the west end room. Taking it off the bunch, be said: " Don't let the ghost out., Katie." Away she flew—but the key would net turn, and she took it down to the kitchen to get it oiled. Judy, was all oonsternetios and en treaty, bat in vain ; and, candle in band, the valorous Katie made her ascent to tha cham ber of the ghost. Opening the door, she peeped in, a little afraid, but quickly mas tering her trepidation, entered—the door re leased from hell hand, shutting with a his& and the current of air ex.inguishing her candle. A little flustered by this she pro ceeded to light a match, when her eye caught sight of a terrible white object in a far corner, which she was sure had risen out of • the ground, for there was nothing there when she entered, She few to the door, but it cloud with a spring, and she bad dropped the key in her alarm. Quieting herself, she followed Judy's- advice, "that if anything appeared site was to cross herself and name the Trini ty." Having thus fortified herself, she struck a match and soon hid the satisfiotion of hold- j ing once more the lighted needle. The white ' object neither spoke nor moved, and Katie summoned up courage to approach. A hearty laugh came to her lips as she saw that the object of her alarm was a broken statue. She thrsn open the rusty hinged shutters, and let in the light of day: and the pare breath of early summer. A high, tapestried bed was is one corner, the hangings of which, dusty and moth eaten, were dropped by piece meal ; beside it wssris antique dressing table, and above this the picture of a lady, very pretty withal, in spite of her enonnous ruff. Oaths other side of the apartment was an oaken chest. and above it the portrait of a man, perhaps the husband of the dark beauty in Ike ruff; he also were the same style of neck ornament, awl the immense bran bag breeches et the olden time. Katie triad to lift the lid of the chest -it was looked. ' She set the candle ea it and weal in search of. Walter. ID a few momenta they both scared. " Why, Katie, what have you the candle burning for, it is light enough to see without: ?hew I It smells. musty—and what is the—l hog paid**, what sort of pantaloons. has that Asp?" ' - Katie blew out the candle, and explained' her wishes in a few words ; and with an en ergetic jerk Walter brought the lid d the cheat off at the hinges.- There was aosbou wage of oast off clothing, that bad been the property of the male and female Idarbens f r om dr: e immemorial.

Walter had been absent ever since dinner at 3—, the nearest post town. The gervants were congregated in the' kitchen, where Barney, the coachman, was telling fairy Item . The family were in the drawing room, whets a few embers smouldered in the fie place. Oaptain /When was relating incidents of his life in India, and his brother was listening—the two ladies confabulating en the latest'styles, while Ettie, Charley and liana, the children of the household, were playing dominoes in a corner; special indul. gentle having' been granted to sit up and finish a game which, threatened to be a long one. The olook str uck eleven and their mother's hind was on the bell rope, but a unanimous petition had,tho effectof causing her to forget theirexistence In renewed conversation. The great high clock in the hell warned for twelve, the cock crew on his perch, the old dog bsrkcd froni i l his kennel, the drswltig room door swing 'slowly on its hinges, find two solemn figure's entered. The ladies.screstioecl, the gentlemen stared, and the chifdren shrank into the corner.— Gravely the figures came, hand in hand F the west end room -pictures' had stepped from their frappe, and come walking down among them! Ciptain Marben was nearest the fe male figure—it put cut a kood and' toushed his. It was as cold as marble. Ile sperang back with a curious gutteral bowl—the figure laughed a wild, unearthly laugh, and re fretted. The servants heard the uproar:and this spread the consternation ; but asthepompany arrived the next day, they were toe busy to comment much on it. Katie declared, when they told her of it, "that she wotI d sit up every night tilt twelve o'clock, hedacha or not, so as to see the ghost ;" and Mr. Donnie Callahan, ono of the visitors, declared his determination to lay the restless spiti That evening the scene was repeated ; Mr. Callahan advanced, hut the agures retreated —he pursue.l, bat they flitted before him, touched the door of the west room and en tered ; be tried it, but in vain, it was fast locked ; he ion down to Mr. Marben for the key—Katie had returned it -the thy it and a light, and searched the room from end• to end, but found nothing. Katie was in t he parlor r hen he returned, discussing with the rest the appearance of the ghosts ; even Callahan was perplexed, but joked it off. The next day at dinner a voice behind Callahan's chair cried ! latighest theft, Loohial, my vision to morn , Callahan sprang to his feet to grasp the intruder, but no one was there, and he resumed his seat. Not ten minutes after. a voice at the door Follow me Follow me I " Cal lahan-sprang up and fullowed, but saw noth. log, searched all the hall, but in vain, and returned discomfitted to hie teat. "I shall not live in this home another year," said Mr. Marben. I beg pardon for my demand, but what will you give me to lay that ghost ? " • "I'll get you in appointment, Callahan." " And I," said the Captain, " will—" "Hold, Capta m in, y terms with you ellen be private ; you agree to them I'll wager my dapple gray,,in Mr. Marben's stable, that I'll brine all tbinge right," A malicious - ,gleam shot athwart Katie's face, which did not escape Callahan's notice, and he 'nature/It up•among his cirenmstan.'

All had signed but Katie, and Cal lahan was putting it away, when she sail pettishly : "I can write, too, Mr. Callahan." Elie gravity almost forsook him, as she took the pea and wrote in a fine hand, " Katie Cardeeh,"and ad look of triumph sat on his face ns he put the paper away in his breast pocket. The nett morning ho missed it. but found it by the wash stand. " Fla! the ghost has paid me a visit," said ho quietly. i am ashitmed to 'tell it, but Callahan had overal•pt himself that morning, and was swakeeted by the breakfast bell. lie washed hastily, brushed hie - hair, without looking in thel glass, and ran down stairs. Breakfast was scarcely half through, when Klidelooked at hint in surprise, and exclaimed: "Why, Mr. Callahan, where - have you been'. on look like a Brownie!" The rest turned 'their eyes the game way, and were fined with consternation. Callahan's face, neck and „hands were a beautiful brown fah black. lie rushed to the mirror end held up his hands in amazement, ejaculating some phrases more expressive than polite. Captain Martian had been absent from breakfast, and when he came he wet Callahan in the hall, stared at the strange negro, and would have passed on ; bat, as Callahan spoke, the voice enlisted him, and he burst into an uproarious lit of latlghter , " Why, Callahan, what his changed you into ti darkie ? Did you do it yourself ? " 'Copperas and nut galls will do the same for any one—the ghost paid me a visit and this is the effect." ; Do give ,up that mad scheme of yours, Rennie." Never, captain ! " Katie - h appened to pass just at that. mo ment, and Callahan gaoe her a ravage glance, at whic`a she elevated her black brows inquir ingly. • . " -- A few days raised, with xo repetition of the ghostly visite, still strange noises were heard • the black was wearing off Callahan's face, and he :hewed the captain a revolver, saying that. he was not afraid of the ghost now.

'The performances ceased for'abantn'week, :when Gallahan was once more teetered to his natural color. Katie still held him aloof, though he thought he saw something in her eyes which led him to hope he ecarcely knew what. It was a wet dismal evening, and the com pany were dismal too. Katie was sick again, and. Callahan had gone to G—. lie came in late, weary and drippling. Ere he bad time to replace his wet coat with the dry one Mts. Marhen brought, the door opened and the feriale portrait of the west room glided ;n, pee and noiseless. Callahan stepped forward, the phantom. leekrd affrighted. and glided out quietly; Callahan followed and shut the door. It was a race for life, but Callahan beat; andtat the door of the west room, clasped Katiellithe figure in hie arms. "Now, !Me," he said, depreciatingly. 4 '1,0. me go, Dennis—Mr. Callahan, I mean."

" "Yes, sir, safe and sound." "Come in." "And the ghost." 't, I've 'laid the ghost, captain, and now I claim my pay." 4 ' Good gracious ! " exclaimed the captain, scanning Katie, "who is this?" He advance I cautiously, and held the candle close up to her face. ' - " Callahan, in the name of all that's won derful, what does this mean ? " "It means that witch Katie' is one of the globes, as I suspected all along, and I believe the other was your own en Walter; to which of them I am indebted foi my complexion of a. fornight ago, and my cropped hair, they can best tell themselves.' "The young villains! What on earth put it into your heads? " Katie hung her head and was silent. " Who blacked Mr. Callahan's fees, girl? " " I put copperas in the water, sad nut galls On the towel, in revenge fur that paper he made us sign, binding us to—" 1' Callahan laughed; "and my lost, curls, Katie, What of t hem ? " Katie blushed; " Walter mot them off." 1 * How did he do it, without waking me? " " I rive Walter a handkerchief saturated with chlorcform; he threw it over your face when you were sleeping." " Why, Katie, what if if had killed me Yen know it does, sometimes " Katie grasped his arm, with a horrified look. . - "Oh ! I never thought of that. What if it hid? What a wicked girt I am:" "And'the pane of glass, Katie," said the captain. "Here it is, captain," and Callahan dreW out a roll of plaster and glass. "You see she plastered this on the window, and'then g eve it,a rap. Of eourso•you found nO piece., for she had it in her pocket." Who spoke behind my chair ?" " I am a littleof a ventriloquist." " Well but, Katie, you should not, the ler• vents are frightened, sad the guests are in a tremor. Why did you? " " I guess just for mischief and revenge." "Captaiio, I claim the fulfillment of your promise," said Callahan, stepping back and Oath:lg his -arm around Katie. • " On, ho 1 that's it., is it ? Well, Dennis, do you Oink you can manage.ter? Now, Katie, go:and don't have the bee ... 4a° fora week at least." There was a wedding at Knockavallook that day two•weeks, and the same day Walter gave his uncle the false key be had made for their mischief. Katie proved quite a model wife, and was never again known to play ghost. Friday not a Day of 11l Omen. From ; time immemorial, Friday has been frowned upon as a day of ill omen. And tho' this prejulice is less prevalent new than It was of yore, when superstition bad general sway, yet there are many who would hesitate on a day so inauspicious to begin an under taking of momentous import. How many brave mariners th-re are whose hearts unmoved could meet the wildes fury of their ocean home, would blanch to even bend their sails on Friday. • But to show with how little reason this feel ing is indulged in let us note the following facts in our own history as a people, and we Americans have not to dread the fatal day : On Friday, August 8, 1492, Christopher Columbus sailed on his great voyage 'of die dovery. Oa Friday, October 12, 1492,' he first dis covered land. On Friday, January 4, 1493, be nailed on his return to Spain, which, if he had not reached in safety, the happy result would never been known which led to the settlement of this continent. On Friday, March 15, 1493, he arriVcd at Palos in estety. On Friday, November 29, 1493, he arrive. at Hispanjoir, on his seeond voyage to America. On Friday, Much 14, 1492, Henry VII •f England gave to John Cabot his commission winch led to the discovery of America. This was the irst American State paper in Eng land.

Why do the recriminations of married coup les resemble the sound of waves on the shore ? Because they are murmurs of the tide. Why is a married man like a candle?
