pressed a mild approval of it when Bertrade,
his bright, brunette daughter called liitn In

1 know I shall ha e him though—l want the
room for Nellie."
"Papa's favorite guest before yours, my
dear."
"Of course ; papa would not care if Nellie
slept in the attic."
"Now, Bertrade."
Bertrade, rather ashamed of her last re
mark. was silent, and sit tying knots in her
wrapper cord and jerking th-tn out again.—
Just then there was a ring of the door bell,
the sound of voices in greeting, and Lou ob
served quickly :
"Prof Wennel has come, Bert."
Bertrade sat still until she heard her fa
ther show the professor intc the pink cham
ber, then she threw herself upon the lounge
and cried tears of vexation.
Neither of the sisters bail ever seen Prof.
Wennel. He had been at college with Mr.
Westgate, and they concluded, of course,
that he was equally elderly and studious.—
They were not aware he was barely forty,
being eight years younger than Mr. West
gate, and though interested with literature
and s . nee, hardly considered a bore in the
best soc.°ty in Europe which he had fre
quented for the last five years.
Pretty Nellie Dashton arrived that even
ing. There was no pink chamber for her
use. She found no fault with the pretty
white-draped bed room with a dressing
room attached, winch was assigned her, but
Bertrade expressed to her her indignation.
All the girls were a little surprised when
they met Prof. Wonnel at the tea table—
He was fine looking and agreeable. Nellie
said so when they had flown back to their
retreat— the bay*window in the upper hall,
where Lou always sewed.
"Dear little six footer 1 I wonder how he
likes the lace of his toilette cushion," said
Bertrade, incorrigibly.
• I'll tell you what I should do, if I were
you. Bert " said Nellie.
"What ?"
A ♦ * ♦ * *
Prof. Wennel sat in his room reading. It
was nearly twelve o'clock at night. The
damp night-wind blew in at the open win
dow and made the light tlicker as it shone
through its alabaster shade, upon the table
at his side. The room indeed was like the
heart of a rose ; but if Bertrada Westgate
had net been so very much prejudiced, she
would have seen that Prof. Wennel, with his
classical face and slendet hands, did not look
much out of place -there.
Suddenly something, he never knew what,
made him raise his eyes from his book. In
the centre of the room stood a slender figure
robed in a shroud, white and glimmering ;
and at the instant his eyes fall upon it the
town clock began to strike twelve in the dis
tance. As tbe last stroke died, the figure
moved silently toward the door and glided
out.
The professor sat st aring at the empty space,
doubting bis senses. He was ao astonished
tliat h nevor alired in his sett for tea min
utes. He sat gazing straight lot war l unt I
tlie Look slipping from Lis relaxed band, fell
upon the flour And startled him.
" I litre been asleep and dreaming," ttid
he : and ho prepared to retire. Yet as be
drew the white coverlet orer his shoulders,
he find A suspicion that what he had seen was
not a drentn-
The next morning at breakfast he said to

"Ilow horrible ! I ahould'nt think you'd
da to to live here." murmured Nellie Dashton,
shrugging la-r dimpled shoulders, and every*
hotly ruw Prof. Wonnel shudder, but ho
cbu ged tho conversation.
That night ho retired to bed fas early as
ten o'clock, but somehow he could not bleep.
At twelve o'clock he was as wide awake as
he ver was in 108 life, and there in the cen
tre of the room stood the same white figure
which had vioited him the previous night.
As before its stay was brief. It retreated as
be fixed his eyes upon it, and vanished at the
door, which closed softly behind it. tbe
Professor never closed his eyes all night.
The next day ho hinted to Mr. Weetgate
thai he thought of returning home. His hoßt
was astonishod.
"Why, Arch, I thought you were going to
stay all summer with me."
"So did I,''said Bertrade, softly.
Prof. Wennel murmured something about
changing his plans, and declared that he real
ly h It as if he must depart on the following
day.
That night he was visited again ; the fact
did not decelerate his departure, or the Prof,
had the belief that directly after 'ho door
closed upon his ghost, he heard a 6 m., he red
laush, and remained until the next night.
Just as the clock was on the troke of
twelve, Ins chamber door opened, and the
shape appeared. He kept his head bent over
his hook, until it had advanced into the cen
tre of the room Then, of sitting
still, dazzled by fear and fascinated with
wonder, he quietly aro6o, produced a pistol,
and said caltnly :
"Take ofF that sheet, or I'll fire."
The figure commenced slowly to retreat.
"I'll give you but one second," he said,
firmly.
The figuro paused, wavered—the sheet
fell, aDd Bertrade sank on her kneea before
him.
"Oh, Prof. Wennel, forgive me—and don't,
oh. don't tell papa ?"
Pa!bd and lovely, with her dark ringlets
falling in disoider on her shoulders,
the Prof, lowered his pistol before her be
seeching face.
"Have you any excuse for such conduct
Miss Westgate ?"
"No—yes—oh, I can't tell you ; bat I did
it parily for fun. Won't you forgive roe, anh
not tell papa 2 I'll do anything for you ;
indeed I will."
He stood quietly before her as she still
knelt at his feet.
"You ask a great deal of me. You have
destroyed my plans for the summer, forcing
me to tell your father that I must go away."
"1 know, but you can make some excuse
not to go, if you like I will help you if you
won't tell him. Say—say—."
"May I say that I have fallen in love with
his daughter, and so have changed my mind
a second time ?"
She was on her feet in an Instant, all her
pallor given way to a bnrning blush. He
smiled, bnt she did not see him, for her eyes
were on the floor.
"May I say it?" bo repeated.
She looked up with a little indignant
flash.
"No."
lie went nearer, took her hands, and made
her look at him.
"May I Bertrade ?"
"Yea," she said.
And Professor Wennel married his ghost.
No man can avoid his own company—so he
had best make it as good as possible.

The Old Home,
"With a murmur soft nnd low,
Coma tho ghosts of long ago."
A responsive chord in our heart thrills
back those sweet words-"long! ago."—
Around us are tbe familiar Walls ofour child
hood's home that once echoed Lack tlie rnti
sle of happy voices, and forgetting for amo
ment the years that left their shadows tipon
our life since then, forgetting that, one of
those dear voices has long been hushed lit the
silence of the grave—we listen, half expecting
the well remembered sntmds to greet our
ears again,
0j how man/ bright amielpatloftd we In
dutgid In under this old roof > how man/
ueatitltol hopes are he tied beneath the sun
shine without. Doe* mere we wander in
the paths that out tthildhood feet lighil/
more are standing ujd§f the
treea, whnae hranehes, waving In the hfeeae,
east their tool shadows over us, whispering
eneetily, hopefully, sa we dreamed away
many a gulden hnflf,
Herts sib the old stone steps—a favwflle
seat at early Iwi'lght— where we uat and
watched the elotlda, tmg"d with the rich
culoriog | purple sod gold, that the setting
suo had left behind, fade slowly and silently
away } yielding unconsciously to Ihu weird
imaginative thoughts (hat thronged our brain
nil we lanciud ourself the inhabitant olsouie
bfight, faiFy realm
Here we painted many a gorgeous air cas
tle upon the canvas of the future, that is the
present now, and of which nothing is left but
discolored ruins. How many memories
come crowding around us. Nome of them
bright and pleasant ; others so sad that we
would fain bury them deep beneath Lethean
waters of forgetfulnuss, beyond all power o(
earthly resutrection, thinking llit while that
it may be efter we have slept tho long sleep,
"and angels have rolled tho stone r.way,"
• to our eyes shall be given the far seeing light
of iuuDortalHy,tanl we may then know why
it was well that we suffer..J so.
But for us now, wo will close tho book of
remembrance upon whose pages are chroni
cled all the dark bitter things of our life,
gathering from tho broken chords of the
all that are worthy of preserving,and weaving
them Into new hopes and joys, with which
to fill out the measure of time that is still
left us ; indulging in nobler, higher aspira
tions than any we dreamed of in those olden
days. For with the watchword, "onward
and upward," that alone was our guide then,
is now combined patience with ,the obstacles
that throng our path, and an earnest persc
verarce in endeavoring to remove them, in
stead of wearily complaining of their pres
ence, having no faith iD the wisdom of Ilitn
who p'aced them there, and who knew that
every trial we encountered and overcome
would leave us stronger. And greatest of
all is the hope, that when we shall reach
life's boundery, though we may have gained
but little of the world's applause, angels will
guide us through the dark valley, and kindly
say, "she hath done what she could."
The lengthening shadow warn us of the
day's decline, and that we must go back to
the newer, busier life, knowing that the sweet
songs of our youth can never be taken up
again , smothering a secret heart-pain, as we
leave the old home to strangers that can nev
er love as we loved it, to whom there is not
as to us, tender memories associated with
every bird, and leaf, and flower.
To YOCNG MEN.— How, after the duties of
the day arc over, do you employ your even
ings ? This is a question of importance. If
you have no regular employment, no fixed
pursuits to engross your attention and oper
ate as a stimulus to the mind when unem
ployed, you must of necessity, have many
leisure and unoccupied hours—intervals when
time will hang heavily on your hands, and
suggest the necessity of some means to relieve
it of its weight. The veiy time which is di
sipated in idleness, would, ifdevoted to study,
enable many a young man to obtain emincuce
and distinction in some useful art.

LIFE. —How small a portion of our life is It
that we really enjoy ! In youth we are look
ing forward to things that are to come ! In
old age we are looking backwards to things
that are past ; in manhood, although we ap
pear to be occupied in things that are pres
ent, yet even that is absorbed in vague deter
minations to be vastly happy on some future
day, when we have dono.
NIGHT THE POOR MAN'S FRIEND Night
levels all artificial distinctions. The beggar
on hi# pallet of straw stores as soundly as a
king on a bed of down. Night—kind, gentle
soothing, refreshing night—the earthly para
dise of tbe slave, tho sweet oblivion of the
worn soul, thenurse ofromiace, of devoti n;
how the great, panting heart of society
yearns for the return of night and rest. Sleep
is God's special gift to the poor ; for the
great there is no time fixed for repose , quiet
they have none; and instead of quietly
awaiting the approach of events, they fret
and rjpine, and starve sleep, and chide the
lardy hours, as if to morrow were big with
the fate of some great hereafter. The tor
rent of events goes roaring-past, keeping ea
ger expectation tiptoes, and drives timid
| slumber away.

A BEAUTIFTL PAHAGRAPH.— The following
lines are from Sir Humphrey Davy 'a Salmo
nia: *
f envy no quality of the mind or intellect
in others, be it genius, power, wit or fancy;
but if 1 could choose what would be most de
lightful for me, I should prefer a religious
belief to any other blessing ; for it makes life
a discipline of goodness, breathes new hopes,
vanishes and throws over decay and the de
struction of existence the most gorgeous
light; awakens life, even in death, and from
corruption and decay calls up the most de
lightful visions of palms and amaranths, the
garden of the blest, aud security of everlast
ing joys, where the sensualist and skeptic
view only gloom, decay, annihilation and de
spair.
Two WATS OF DOING A THING.—Iq (ha
mail tram down from Harrisburg, recently
we had in the seat forward of us a gentleman
•lack Tar in ago ashore octfit, jolly, genteel
and happy, with a decidedly pretty specimen
of eighteen year old crinoline, to whom he
had been a week spliced, and was conveying
Philadelphia* ttard.
. •. H
Opposite Jack and wife were a couple that
any one could see were on a honey moon
cruise, the bride al! blushes, beauty and
bashfulness, and the gallant bridegroom
all devotion and endearment.
At one of the way stations half way down
the road the cars stopped, and the careful,
considerate gentleman bridegroom thus ad
dressed his timid bride.
My love, I am about to step out for a few
moments to procuro some refreshments.—
I)o not be alarmed during my absence."
Gentleman Jack took the cue, and patting
his wife on the shoulder, sung out, as if he
were hailing the main top gallant yard in a
gale of wind:
''l say w'fev, I'm going ashore to wet my
whistle ; do not tumble overboard while I'm
gone."
THE DUTY or YOUNG MEN.— There fs ho
mortal object so beautiful to m as a consci
entious young man. I watch him as Ido a
stai in the heavers ; clouds may be before
him, but w e know that his light is behind
them, and will beam forth again ; the blaje
of others' popularity maj o utshine him, tut
we know, although unseen, he illuminates his
own true sphere. He resists temptation with
out a struggle, for that is no virtue : but be
