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.

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.

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

withal, in spite of her enonnous ruff. Oaths

Katie blew out the candle, and explained'

That 'evening Katie retired early with a
severe headache. 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

a game which, threatened to be a long one.

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

from end• to end, but found nothing. Katie

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,

sprang to his feet to grasp the intruder, but
no one was there, and he resumed his seat.

"I shall not live in this home another

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

A malicious -

face, which did not escape Callahan's notice,
and he 'nature/It up•among his cirenmstan.'

That evening Callahan brought in a foldtd
paper, which he 'requested them to sign, the
captain assuring them that the eontents were
an right. All had signed but Katie, and Cal

pettishly :
"I can write, too, Mr. Callahan."
Elie gravity almost forsook him, as she took

face ns he put the paper away in his breast

The nett morning ho missed it. but found it
by the wash stand. " Fla! the ghost has paid

swakeeted by the breakfast bell. lie washed
hastily, brushed hie - hair, without looking in

was scarcely half through, when Klidelooked
at hint in surprise, and exclaimed:
"Why, Mr. Callahan, where - have you been'.

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." ;

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

--
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 next morning all the top curls of his
head wherein he much delightel were shorn,
and he vowed vengeance.

'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.

" No, you mean Dennis, but I won't lit you
go till you promise to he Mrs. Callahan. I
love you dearly, as you know already.
Kalif, laid her our!, head down on Calla
han's bosom, and wound her arms round his

"Dear Dennis!"
They forgo' the wet and discomfort cf the
night, forgot the anxiety of the.good people
below, forgot all save that there were two pen.
plot in the world, Katie Cardeen and Dennis
Callahan, and they two loved each other.—
Bllting on the lounge in the west end room
they talked until the clock struck one, and
Captain Liar en camo to the room, candle in
hand, calling anxiously :
" Mr. Cal abet), are you here ! "
"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

Katie blushed; " Walter mot them off."

" 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

" On, ho 1 that's it., is it ? Well, Dennis,

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 :
