Therefore it may, notlsmiriso you to hear that in gertain portion of Staten Island,: wl►►ch•shall he .nameless, there stood and statute an old farm-hopsewhich, tte('..ording to the;beliefof:the..Wchole vil lage, .was positively.haunted. It - belonged "to' a gentleman who,. though/enormously .wealthy, !was, re puted to boexteedingly, careful; if not tniscrlj ,' In ' pecuniary :,thatters,. and whcge foiidnes for money was so great that he had disowned a spendthrift on and a daughter who had married a!poor man, lest they should ',claim assist:OW at his hands, and how lived alone,,mel aneholy and unhappy, ns one might suppose, but as deeply attached as ever td his money bags. A more rapacious ' landlord never lived. His runts were collected the very moment upon which they came due, and nothing troubled him 130 much ti. 3 to be requested to make repairs. At thirt, particular house to which we have Allotted being - surrounded by _several acr6'of land, and much the more val uable portion (if his real estate, wus nat urally the object of hip greatest affec tion. • It was a gloat joy to'Moses Pocketful! , to ride to bank with his rents on quarter day—perhaps the very sweetest he bad ever known. To hear evil tales about your best and dearest is not pleasant. You would not like to hear your children slandered, -or your brother, or your wife. As you might feel shoiald any one scandalize those relatives to you, old Moses Pock etfull felt when one quarter day Mrs. Ruff, tenant of his• best and dearest house, said as she took his receipt: "I shall bear It no longer—l can't, , Mr. Pocketfull; I must leave this aw ful house." "Awful house!" cried Moses. "Why, What is the matter with it?" "Matter!" cried Mrs. ltuft: - "Oh, if you only could live here a night and a day ! It isn't the repairs. The garret leaks and we' need. plastering! but I don't wish to move for these reason:o "What reasons have.you then? crick! old Pocketful!. r - "M - Lii,") said •Mrs.- i "belie Ve me or not—the place is hann-' Tot 17 YOu've t " said MoseS. • I "It's haunted, sir, said Mrs. 'Ruff: And then came stories of noises .heard at midnight,' of loaves of bread and 'pitchers of 'milk vanishing as though by . magic— , of groana and moans and knockingS„ 'and at last an awful object #en by'Mrsl Ruff herself at midnight a • tall spectre, of which she. could not, •spettlif Without terror,--a woman -who carried , a baby in her arms, both 'wailing woefully, "And stay Gaul, Mr..

At last, however, a German with a large family arrived in the place, and without question hired the house .of its owner. He knew no one and had -nev er heard the.gbost story, - and-being a fat. rosy,fellow,. with , no imagination, was as safe a tenant fir a house 'full of odd noises as could be imagined. , He paid a month's rent in advance, brought to the dwelling his frau and 'ten children, his chairs, tables, clothes presses,.trombnne, piano, and fager beer kegs, and declared his intention 'never to move no more so long as never vas."

And to eut'a long story short. Mr. Pocketfull's house w 0 thereafter occupied by, no one longer thati a week. Strangers would hire it, and,witnessing the strange sightand hearing the strange rounds, leparted in terror—Persons ig norant about this, or -tempted by the low rent, to which the dwelling came through its reputation. ,Even a clergy man, who, being of the Methodist be lief, protested that if even Satan were there in proper person, he would "pray him out," moved in evident trepidation on the third morning of his residence, utterly refusing to tell-what had driven him away, and endeavoring to lead peo ple to the belief that damp and nothing else caused him to fly the spot. The effort ,waa useless; every one knew that the Rev. had seen the ghost, es pecially when he preached on the next Sunday a furious sermon against super stition. 1 At last no one would approach the house. and old Pocketfull, at his wits' end, with his house profitless and his felings'deeply injured, went toa lawyer for advice. How should lie let his house—how gain for it, its old comfortable reputa tion as a respectable dwelling, void of .ghosts. "Pay some one to sleep there," said the lawyer. "Let this be known, and at a moderate rent you caiLlet your house at once." And Moses decided to act upon the advice. He offered ten dollars to any one or two who would sleep there without misadventure. Noone appear ed. He offfered ten ; then twenty. still he only advertised the fact that the house wits too terrible a place to be ocenpied on any terms. ' He had due more harm. than good, and in despera tion he advanced from twenty, thirty, to fifty, to seventy-five, to one hundred. Then there marched into his room l one morning three young fellows, strangers to the place, who stated that they had seen the advertisement and were afraid of nothing; and overjoyed Moses! gave them the keys and bid • them do their best, even if the rats did squeak and rattle behind the wainscot not to fancy ghosts behind them. And that night it Was knowti that three strangers wore to sleep in Moseses Pocketfull's haunted house, to prove that the ghost either had departed or never had beep there at all. •=-They Were young mon'i full of fun and not in the least apprehensive of any supernatural visitation. To secure their comfort they conveyed into the haunted house a large mattress and sundry blankets, and having eaten a hearty supper In the desolate kitchen, retired and slept. Their slumbers were deep, and the rats scampered and the shutters flapped without awakening them for a long time. But at last the soundest sleeper of the three was started from his slumbers by cries of terror from his twocompanions, and when sufficiently awakened to know what was passing around lam, found himself alone. Something had evidently alarmed his comrades, for they had flown, leavinghim quite alone. .Starting fb his feet, be followed them, overcome with terror, whilek 4+e- eould not explain, to himself, longing for hu man presence for relief and not daring to remain alonein theempty room. lie descended the stairs, calling upon his friends, but hearing no reply and upon. at Instill the empty kitchen. The moon light lay across it, for the window and door were both wide open t and in the mellow beams stood an object which curdled the blood of the spectator. The spectral form of a woman, tall and gaunt„holding a babe to her bosom, and looking at him with hollow eyes which seemed to pierce him through and through. • The young man Stood still. "It is true, then," he thought, "such things are seen by mortal eyes. Will it speak to me 7 Will it approach me ?" and even as these thoughts were in his mind the spectre moved, corning toward him with a swift, gliding step, keeping her eyes upon his face, and vanished in the darkness; But. the Moment it passed him he stretched out his hand and caught at it. His fingers closed upon substance—upon the rough fringe of a woolen shawl, and on the 'lnstant his courage returned. He followed the flying figure and saw It descend the cellar stairs, then he se cured the door and went to search for his companions, whom he found hid den in a haystack in a state, of delirious' terror. At first no explanation could induce them to face the ghost, whom they were fully persuaded was at theirheelsi 3„. y ty• " - Nr - KM 11 MO* from the sheltering hay and listened to the assertion that the ghost was a living woman, and was now imprisoned in the cellar ; descend thither, however, they wouldn't until Moses Pocketfull, several persons of importance and au thority and a little throng of curious neighbors had been summoned to the spot. Then, rendered courageous by numbers, the, door was opened, and the little procession, provided with lamps and clubs, penetrated to the recesses or. the cellar. It was'a damp, wretched hole, unused fiii.'years because of its condition, and extremely dark—a ,ghostly place enough ; and, as their eyes descried a gaunt fig ure at the farther end, the braves felt a strong disposition to retreat. But Mo ses Pocketful', furious in his anger against the being, who had been the cause of such great pecuniary loss to him, advanced and seized the shrinking ,form in an iron grasp, and held her— her babe wailing in her arms—as the 'rest gathered around : "Who are you?" ho cried, "and what are you doing here?" And a faint voice answered, "Don't you know me, father? It is yOur daughter Ann." And Moses Pocketful' staggered back with a groan. So the ghost was laid and the truth knOwn at last. The miser's daughter, to whom, because of her marriage with a poor man, he had refused aid and sheltsr in her widowhood, driven to desperation, had concealed herself in his deserted cellar with a babe but a few days old. There, for a year, she had been bidden, subsisting on such food as she sould purloin at night, and sleep . ing on a bundle of straw in the damp and' unaired _place, until bad air and starvation hadmade her ghastly enough to be taken for a spectre. A helpless, useless sort of woman, she had never thought it possible to earn her own bread, and had, t 4 the best of her abll4, encouraged the terror of those who in habited the house, hoping in the end to become its sole occupant. She was worn to a skeleton, . and seemed to have but rttle 1)01;1 upon life, t and her piteous tale xeited much sym pathy in the breasts r her listeners that populat'. opinion plow too strong for even old Aloses to resist. And so, of hiS large possessions, he made provision for his daughter and herchild, and installed them comfortably in the house they had so long haunta4 to which, witli all the rest of his real estate,, they became heirs at his death, which occurred short ly afterwards. NOT A DROP MORE, DANIEL Daniel Akin had become a common drunkard. So fully had he come under the dominion of his appetite that he was perfectly miserable when he could not obtain the means of gratifying his thirst. --110 had itesieted his tinnily till his wife's father had taken her and her children to the parental roof. He had spent all his substance for drink, and was kept front the pour-house only by performing menial services for his food, and by the kindness of Thomas Edgerton, a member of the Society of Friends, who had knitwn him from his youth, and had a strong hope that in the course of time he would see his fol ly and turn again into the right path.— The leading merchant of the place had let him have drink as long as his mon ey lasted, but would trust him no lon ger._ He was loafing about the store, one bright moonlight evening, pleading with the merchant to'trust him for a drink. His reply was, " Not a drop more, Daniel." He remained a while longer and-left. As the cool air of the evening fell upon him, he all at once began to give utterance to his feelings in the following strain : "Not a drop more, Daniel. Am I drunk, or am I sober. I am sober.— Not a drop more, Daniel. Did Has kins think a drop more would hurt me ? No 1 but my money is gone. He has got everything I had. He has got the Bible mother gave me. He has got the shoes which my wife bought for Jennie, and paid for with her own earnings.-- Not a drop more, Daniel. Daniel, what say you to that? I say so too.— I once had good clothes, and now have nothing but rags. Not a• drop more, Daniel, till I have others as good as when-Mary and I were married. I once had a good watch, but that too is gone. Not a drop more, Daniel, till r have auother as good as the onel pawn ed to Haskins for drink. I have seen the time when I had a good horse and buggy, and could ride into the village in as good style as any man in the place. Not a drop wore, Daniel, till I own au other horse and buggy as good as I once had. I once had cows which furnished my family with bitter• and cheese, but Haskins has got them. Not a drop more, Dania till those cows of others as good as those are wine again. I once had this wallet full of bills, but now there is not a cent. Not a- drop more, Daniel, till tWs wallet is well filled again.' . By this time he had reached the place where lie had formerly resided, and he stood and leaned against the fence, and mused for it long time in silence. lie viewed the desolateness of the scene by the light of the moon, and his eyes ranged over the house and' barn once his own, which had hccorne out of re 7 pair. He then said, " Once I Owned this house and farm. Here I was born.— Here my father and mother died. I was the pride of their hearts,-but I brought down their grey heirs with sor mr to the grave. Here I commenced y married life, and all that heart could wish was mine. Here Mary - and I took comfort till Haskins came here and opened his ruin shop, and now he calls it his. In that south room-my-children Were born ; and there. my Jennie died., 0,.h0w sorrowful she looked when she HaP me take the shoes and start for the isibire to pawn them for rum, while she lay sick ! And then, how she begged me, before she died, never to strike her mother again ! I can see her now, h'er pale face, her wasted form, but she can not come to me again. And 0, my wife, how shamefully have I abused you! It was not your Daniel thatl did it. No ! it was that cursed rum jthat HaskinS sold me. No wonder you Were taken from me by those who loved lyou aNd would not see you abused. They won't have me in the house. They will not let me live with you. Not a drop more, Daniel, till this house is mine again. -Not a drop more till these broad acres are again in my possession, and that wife and the children that are liv ing are in yonder rooms, and we are a happy tinnily once more. Not a drol more, Daniel, so help me God, till all these things_are accomplished. - I than you, Haskins, for those words. I shall not forget them." He had become sol much occupied with his thoughts, and spoken in a tone so loud, that he had not heard the wag on, which by this time reached the road, in which was seated the kind hearted Quaker who has been mention ed. He stopped his horse, and heard distinctly the language which Daniel used. As he closed his soliloquy he turned and saw Thomas Edgerton, who said, "Daniel, does thee mean to keep thy vow ?" He answered, "I do." " Thee has . promised a great many te.es that.thpe wrwila ri hat males thee think thee will keep thy vow ?" " I know, Friend Edgerton, I have often vowed to drink no snore, but now I feel different from what I ever did be fore. Illy heart is broken, .and I feel my weakness, and I believe God will help me this time." " God grant it , may be se. Daniel, get in and take a' seat. Thee must_ be hungry ; go home with me.' On the way the Quaker drew out of him all that has been written ;' and he advired him to go to California, He told him to go to New York, l and work his passage around the Cape. He de ternained to do so. The Quaker fur nished him 'with suitable aplel. "Thee wants to see thy vife and children before the goes." " Yes, Friend Fdgerton, I. do, but they have become estranged from me. If .I went perhaps they would not be lieve what I say. It is better that I should not see them. Indeed it is bet ter that they should not know where I am. I want to surprise them, as I hope to do, by coming back a sober man, and with money enough to make them com fortable. 1 prefer that you and your wife should be the only persons in the place who should know where I. am and what I am doing." Thus while riding toward the quiet farm-house of the Quaker, the whole - thing was arranged. W Iten they reach ed the place, the horse was put in the barn, and they entered the house. He said as they took seats before the fire.— " Amy, thee may put on another plate; Daniel will stay with us a few days, and then he will go to California." The benevolent Quaker was confi dent that Daniel Akin would keep his resolve. ( i U At length when everything 'was it' readiness the old horse was harnessed, and before daylight Daniel Akin was on his way to a railway station. He had not been in the villageil since the night when the words "Not a drop more, Daniel," were uttered. He was missed from his customary haunts, but it was supposed he had gone on a spree, and so nothing was thought of his absence. His wife's father lived in the adjoiningtown, and some thought he had gone there. No inquires were made, for all were rejoiced Abat he was missing, and cared not for his return. He had been gone somewhat?'inore than a year when the Quaker IVas hi the store of Haskins and remaiii[ed that he wished to hire a pasture for' the com ing season. " I have got one I will let you have free of rent if you will put up the fences on the place." " - Where is it ?" said the Quaker. ° " On the-Akin farm." " If thee will let it at that rate, thee must have let it get out of repair." "It is so indeed ; I cannot leave the store to see to it. The house is poor, and the family that lived in it last were too shiftless to buy wood, and burnt iti , all the I.:lib:. % I. had rather sell it than rent it." " What will thee take for it ?" " It cost me some $1,000." "Y frs, but thee• _paid in goods, and charged thine own price on them." " To•be sure I did ; Akiu could not get trusted anywhere else, and I felt I was running a great risk in letti i ng him have goods, and I charged accordingly just as everybody else would under the circumstances." "Thee has not told me what' thee would take for—the place ; I will give eigl t hundred for it if that is any ob jec to thee." ci i I-• askins thought long enough to eon 'elude that the interest of eight hundred dollars was far better for him than the farM,for the use of which he realized scarcely anything, and said, " you can have It." "Thee can make the deed to-morrow, and thee can have thy Money. By the way, does thee know what has become of Daniel Akin ?". - No. He has not been in the yiliage for more than a year. At at any rate I have not seen hint." , We may tell4he reader what Haskins did not know. The Quaker had that dayireceived.a letter from Daniel Agin, stating that lie was at the mines ,',,bard at work, and was sticking to his inot to, " Not - a drop more Daniel," and thad he had laid up a few hundred dollars— and desired him to inquire what the piace he mice owned could be bought for. Mr. Edgerton bad taken the meth od abo:fe mentioned to find out Haskins views. So confident was he that Dan iel Akin would come homea sober man, with money in his pocket that be ven tured to purchase it, i for the purpose of keeping it for him, „ 'lie wrote to Atkin what he had done, and about three months later hp receiv-. ed a letter stating that, by express he had sent kive hundred dollars In gold to a banker in New York, with orders to sell it and remit proceeds to him, tp go toward the farm. Gold commandkd a large premium ; and the five' huifired became more than eight hundre(Pode fofe it reached Friend Edgerton's hands. Akin requested him to draw_a deed-giv ing the whole dvoperty to his wife Ma ry, and have it duly recorded and lefi with the Register of Deeds. In his letter he said : "if perchance I should eveti break my resolution, I shall have secured a home for my wife and children ;'I prefer, however, they should not knoh.v any thing of this at present. if I live toicotne home, I will give Mary the deed with my own hands --if not you do it. Now that the farm is bought, ybu had better stock it, for I shall stick to my motto, " Not an other drop Daniel." Another year passed. By this time Friend Edgerton had stocked the farm with young cattle and sheep. The fences were put in repair—and everything about the house wore a tidy appeartu6e. Another retnittauce came which pa;ii for all the, stock, with an overplus with whieli to repair the house. Carpenters were busy, and the villa gers-who happened to pass that _way found that extensive repairs were go ing on ; still no one presumed to ques tion the Quaker with respect to his plans. . These repairs all competed=furniture found its way to the house. A yoke of cattle was seen on the farm. The villa ders were astonished to see the Quaker riving al elegant horse and riding in a new buggy. He received thin alma note one day : " I have arrived all safe and sound. Cio and get Mary and thesehildren." He rckle . over to the adjoining.town, and called at Mary's fatlnir's and invit ed her and the Children _to vo borne with him and make him and liis wile a visit. They accepted the invi tat ion and he took them home, • The next afternoonTheisaid, "Mary I have to go to the railroad station ; thee and the children can stay with Amy." Ilje went and got Daniel Akin and did not reach home till after dark. He left Daniel in his own house nice ly., furnished to which place he had pre viously conveyed provisions, and left him there'to pass the night. The next Mornig-he said, "Mary, I sup pose thee has heard that I have bought thy old place. I have got it fitted up, and I want thee and the children to ride over and see it after breakfast. I think thee will like it." - They rode over and were surprised to see the charges which had taken They could scarcely believe thelir own I,llu lUW u rooms drat. Over thcmaiitle in the sit ting-room was a franie, and under the glass in large letters were 'these word " NOT ANOTHER DROP DANIEL." Mrs. Akin said, "0, if Daniel could said those words and stuck t. the , 11 onlythis beautiful place might have be p his." Tho Quaker said, " Then thee doesn' know where Daniel is?" " No, I have not heard a lisp iron him for more than three years." ts Thee would like to see him ?" " Yes, indeed." " Let us walk up stairs." As they ,t . wtent up the front stairs, Daniel Akin siltired down the back ones, and took ili. stand in the sitting-room. When tifey returned, Mrs. Akin noticed a stalwart man standing in the room with his back to the hall door, and shited back foran instant. ,The Quak e said "It is a friend Mary," Upon tl / :15 D p oi a l' i t l . i :y e -o l t t i u l l t m n e o a w 1 1 ) 0 111 :1 1 :ir a : 1 ?
