About the year 18-- business had called metoa remote part of B. county, Tennessee, and [ was staying at the house of a Mr. Roberts. The family consisted of Mr. Roberts and wife, one eon and two daughters. The son's name was Austin ; he was about twenty years of age, and seemed to be very intel- ligent. The girls were no less intelligent than Anstin. Adela, the eldest, was about seventeen, and Julia, the youngest about fifteen. Prettier girls I never raw. I loved them both as soon as I had seen their faces. We were sitting by a blazing fire, 1alking and laughing as if we had been acquainted for years, when a sudden noise as if some large building was falling mterrupted us. ¢ Ugh, ugh !' said some one, as iffrighten- ed out of his senses. All of the family rushed to the door, ex- cept Julia, who sat still, and remarked, ¢ It is Bill Jenkins ruouing from the ghosts again.' Scarcely had the words escaped her, ve | when in rushed a tall, gawky, almo t beard- less fellow, pufling and blowing hike a lo- comotive. ¢ What's the matter ?* cried Mr. Roberts. ¢ Matter enough," said Bill, his eyes looking almost as large as two common tea- cups. ¢ Ont yonder,' he continued, throw- ing himself on a chair, ¢ out yonder I heard a baby crying, and then somebody a groan- ing and snuffing, and [tell you I just got away from there." At this I could not repress a laugh. ¢ You needn't laugh, old hoss,? continued il . he, turning to me ; * ycu needn't laugh, for I'll swear 's no fun ; Pll swear it." 1 turned to Austin and said, ¢ Let us ac- company him back to the place where he heard the noise, and solve the ghost for him.' Austin was eilent, ¢ Will you go ? I asked. Austin began to stammer out something. ¢ Darn me," interrupted Bill, ¢ darn me, if you get me back there any more see il you do." « Then tell us where it wae," gaid I, ¢ and if we can.solve it we will." ¢ Austin don't care much about going, I believe," said Adela, ¢ You're not superstitious, are you?' 1 " {asked hinf™ ¢ No, I am not superstitions, but 1 am afraid of catching cold, that's all," he re- pled, «I propose," said Julia, who had been silent ull now, ¢ That we all go, Mr. Ma- rion, Austin, and mysell. now up, and it will be a pleasant walk for us, besides we might have some real fun.' After some hesitation on Austin's part, this proposition was accepted. Bill told us where he had heard the ghost, but would not go with us. Off we stated, When me got to the spot we found that Bill had knocked down about twenty panels of the fence. ~ We had gone two or three hundred yards, talking very lively, when wo entered a low, dark place in the road ; the timber was very tall and thick, which caused 1t to be darker than any place else. When atvanced a lew steps into this place, our conversation stopped. Scarcely had we ceased talking, when ¢ Boo-woo- ugh," went something near us. ¢ What's that ' said Austin, hauling, I advanced, and Julia stepped to my side and said, ¢ 1s Bill's ghost, sure." ¢ Ou-hoo-00-wugh,' came forth again. I could suppress my laughter no longer. It proved to be nothing.more nor less than a hog, which was not sleeping comfortably, and was thus complaining. ¢ What is it 2' insisted Austin, who ha! not yet found out what it was. Just then we came to the hog bed, and the hogs all ran off, as trightened as badly as Bill was. ¢ Humph,' said Austin, ¢it's hogs, I'll swear, that caused Bill so much running.' We turned and went back to the house and had a fine laugh at Bill about his ghosts, but Bill would not give ap but that his were real ghosts. - Iearned that there were but few persons in this neighborhood who were not super- stitious, I was informed that the place where Bili had heard the ghost was really haunted. Among other stories that were told that night congerning the place one was as fol- lows :-- Some time ago a man was coming through this place ; it was very dark, he heard something by the roadside ; and turning 1m the direction of the noise he perceived something white. It looked, he said like a woman dressed in white. He spoke to her. She raised her arms above her head, and said :(-- . ¢« John Kinsler, if you will ba happy, you must marry Jane Merton, and have the Roberts family at the wedding. Remem- ber, Jokn Kinsler. So saying. she dropped ber arms and as- cended elo wly upwards, until she was out of sight. John married Jane, and the Roberts family were at the wedding. 1 expressed a desire 10 see or hear such ghosts, but Austin thought I would repent of my wish when [ saw them. Bed-time came, and we retired as the clock struck twelve. 1 lay awake in bed, thinking of the in- A Policy for $1000, by the G d Bonus System costs at age 30, $24.70 a year. lo after 5 Jo, one- Should it become payab WITH the fourth of the Premiums are returnes turned ; after 30 years, three-fourths ; after 51, the sum assured is doubled, and the heirs may claim $2,000. death, G.

Nothing else took place worth relating sum agsured ; if after 20 years, one-half are re- during my stay at Mr. Roberts. I left next morning, living and loving. ' Two years after the above-mentioned, in- |X" Claims payable one month after proot of | cident took place, I was passing through that couctry again and of course, called on Mr. Roberts. Lr I found that the neighborhood was as The place where Bill Jenkins had heard the ghost was still The moon 1+ N haunted. Many things had.been heard, sights had been seen,--from an Angel to Beelzebub. I was very anxious to come across one of the ghosts, and aunng ns stay at Mr. Roberts' I passed thiough the haunted place at all umes of the nighi, but saw and heard nothing. [I finally came 10 the contlusion that it was all imagination. One dark night in July I was passing through this place, and heard something make a noise in the dry leaves near me ; wrning towards the noise I beheld some- thing, I thought, very much like a woman. There was no waist in her dress, and it was very long. All this I could make out not- withstanding the darkness. I stood sull to see what she would do. I must say I did not feel exactly cool just then, but | managed to appear so. ¢ Marion,' said the ghost, ¢ if yon will be happy, you must marry Julia Roberts. Re- member, Marion.' Judge of my surprise and horror when the ghost spread out her arms and ascend- ed until she was lost in the timber. What conld I do? Scared as [ was I did not run, knocking down the fence, as Bill Jenkins did, . I started on slowly towards Mr. Robert's ; and wfter I had gone a few paces I heard a distant roaring behind me that continued more than two minutes. [did not lok back, for I did not care about coming in contact with another ghost that evening. At an early hour I retired. Next morn- ing when I came into the parlor, Julia was there alone. When [ entered she greeted | me blushing and trembling. After I had looked round and saw no one was near, I said, ¢ Julia, at last I have seen a ghost." When; I said this Julia again blushed and turned her face away fiom me. ¢ What kind of a ghost was it?" said she. I told her all I had seen, but omitted what the ghost had' ead. Julia told me he had seen one just like it two or three nights before. « suppose,' said she, ¢ yon have become superstitions." i I could not deny, yet I would not ac- knowledge that | was superstitious Limplored Julia not to mention it nti! 1 could find out something more about the ghost, and she promised. I determined to pass throngh this place every night during my stay at Mr. Roberts, which was 10 continue about two weeks from this time, For several nights I heard nothing, nor did | see anything like a ghost unnl the might before my departure, when walking along | beheld the same ghost, at the same standing aboat twenty feet fiom where | first beheld it. Tstopped, and the ghost said, -- ¢ Manon, to-morrow you leave this place, | and you have not asked Juha to be your! wife. Go and ask her ai once. Remember, Marion." : Instantly I rushed forward and threw my arms around the ghost, She shrieked and started up ; I held fast, and up we went. No pen can describe, no longue can tell, in'lact, no one can imagine, my leelings al this moment. Up we went. Still I held on to the ghost. But I was becoming sick of my situation. [ had my whole weight to hold up, by hold- ing to the phantom. ¢ Let me down,' shouted I. ¢ Promise me one thing,' said the ghost. ¢ Promise that you will leave the spot ax soon as yeu touch the ground.' "1 piomise anything to get down from here," eaid I. Let ns down," she shouted, as loud as I had dou. Down we then went; but as we went down, I was busy trying to find out some- thing more alout her. [found she had a very laige rope around her, and was drawn up by it. loop was made lor her feet, then one for each hand;<and she could stand upright with the greatest ease. Just as we touched the ground, I took out my knife and cut the rope, just above the head of the ghost. She shrieked, and fell to the ground ; I raised her up. € 04 I" said she, ¢ Beelzebub will be here in a moment. See ! there he comes now.' Hero she tried to leave me, but I held on to ber. I heard a terrible noise tn the dry leaves just behind me. looked around and something was approaching. As near as [ could discern in the dark it resembled a very large man. It came up very close to me, and stood «till for a moment ; then ittapped me on the shoulder, and said in a rough hoarse voice : ¢ Come I' 1 put my hand down to the groind, and as luck would have it, I put it on a stick about as large as a man's arm. I snatched it up, and gave ¢ Beelzebub' a blow with it which bronght him to the ground. My ahostly companion agun ghrieked and fell. 1 caught herup in my arms, and retreated as fast as my legs would carry me. Presently I ran against the fence, and knocked as much of it down as Bill Jenkins did. But I did not stop but went on 1uto the house. Isat the ghost upon a chair and called for alight, After a considerable struggle the veil was removed, and lo! it was Julia Roberts ! She shrieked and fell to the ground, and was carried to her room. Just here, in came a negro girl, a slave of Mr. Robert's, looking as if she was frighten- ed out of her senses. ¢ Massa! Massa ! ran into the kitchen right quick, cause Sambo come in dar all bloody an' a bleedin' yet ; he says he got his head broke." Avstin and myeelf went into the kitchen to examine Sambo's head, There was a very large gash, cut to the bone, just above' hia left temple. : a To be brief, Julia had employed a negro man, Sambo, 10 assist her. He had pro- cured a long rope, and fastened it around Joha, already described, and then elimbing a very large iree, put the rope through a fork, and then descended. B this he could raise Julia as high as the fork of the tree, where she would be entirely out of sight to any person below; owing to the thicknesa of the timber. Julia waa the ghost that had told John Kinsler to marry Jane Merton § and Sambo had always acted Beelzebub when neces= sary. But after he had acted Bee'zebub with me, he swore he ¢ nebber would be de debi! again.' I bore no grudge on account of Julia's manner of courting me--on the contrary felt rather pleased and complimented. In about 81x months from that time we were married, Years have since rolle| by. A robust boy and a pretty litle girl have blessed out unioti, and never have I repented for one moment that | kaw the ghost, or that Jalid became my wife. re ctl --e. > ANAGRAM.
