A Weird Lover.
'^^ accept your challenge, Miss Depford! Thi^ is, I believe, the very night the ghost is supposed to wander, therefore I shall seek him at the hour of midnight. If he takes the form of yon handsome cavalier, one need not fear him much ; be belongs to au age of chivalry, and will not intimidate a lady."
I, the speaker, form oue of a group of three standing apart from the gay com¬ pany who roam through the spacious picture galleiy of our host's mansion.
AVe have taken our position iu the deep embrasure of a lofty Gothic window. The wall facing us is hung with num¬ erous portraits, and the window looks out upon extensive gardens, which slope down to the edge of a large lake.
Miss Depford, the lady to whom the above remark was addressed,is a tall,hand¬ some girl, of commanding figure and fea¬ tures ; yet the independent, almost super¬ cilious, air which is natural to her causes her to be more generally admired and re- .spected than actually liked. Her cousin, Harry Depford, a good looking, manly young fellow—moreover the inheritor of a vast property and an unencumbered rent-roll of £20,000 per annum—stands facing; while I, Diana Clive, with one knee resting on the low window seat, complete the group.
Julia and I were the acknowledged rival beauties of the pleasant party col¬ lected together at Murchistou Castle; and yet vve two girls were as totally un¬ like oue another as could well be imagined. Blonde and mignonue, am] utterly failing iu that comi^osure and dignity of manner which were Julia's chief characteristics 1 Wiis ever ready to run into any sort of scrape or mischief for the sake of a bit of lull. Both of us were orphans, aud both possessed but slender means; there, how¬ ever, all point of resemblance ceased. So entirely opposed were we that but for one reason there probably would have been no rivalry between us ; nevertheless, that reason was suilicient to make Julia Dep- ford hate me. The cause of her dislike was her cousin Harry's unconcealed ud- tuiratluii for me, wliom he had met for tiie lirst time at a b.Ul iu L Midou, a few weeks befoie our meeting at Murchision. S:ie, oil the oilier hand, having beeu brought up with hiin fioiu childhood, aud beiuri' two or Huee years his senior, had beeu accustomed to lofd ifc over him as long as slie could remember. The subject of discussion with which my tale com- ineiices was the evil repute attached to the gallery we were vi-sitiug. Iu a recess ill the wall, ex:ictly opposite tlie window iu whicii we stood, w.is a full-length marble tiguie, wiiich was the more re¬ markable, being tiie sole piece of statury ill that long corridor.
Tile ligure represented a cavalier, witli llowiiig locks and garments as worn in llie time of Charles I, and it certainly did not belie the epithet of handsome 1 had applied to it.
What had brought this statue to Mur¬ chistou, or of whom it was au effigy, was the mystery that troubled the whole house. Nothing else of the kind existed, and it was known that the knight it represented was uot a member of the llotherams, in whose family the castle had been for gen¬ erations ; its total waut of resemblance to any of the stiff portraits which hung around was sufficient to testify to that fact. In the household it was whispered that the statue was not the work of human hands, and certainly, so perfect was it, ifc seemed but to need some of Jupiter's immortal fire to give it the life which rumor assigned to it on one night ill the week.
It was some sarcastic iremark of Miss Depford's, daring me with my usual cour¬ age to face the spirit alone at midnight, which drew forth the foregoing retort from my lips.
Harry Depford turned angrily to his cousin, "Julia, how can yon suggest such a thing V Miss Clive is naturally too rash without your goading her ou to commit such a piece of folly. You surely," he continued, turning to me, "do not intend coming here in earnest ?"
"I am certain Miss Clive would not be so absurd as to back out of a piece of fun merely on account of your timidity, Harry, nor would she deprive us of the entertainment of her experiences," she replied, in the tone of raillery she had used throughout.
"Shall we make it a wager, Miss Clive, to enhance the interest ? I will bet a dozen pairs of gloves against the same uumber, which you will pay me should vou fail iu your enterprise."
'•Williugly," 1 rei)lied. "I had not the smallest intention of backing out of my word; nevertheless," addressing her cousin, 'T am very grateful to you, Mr. Depford, for your anxiety on my behalf."
"If you persist in it, Miss Clive, I shall accompany you; I shall not let you run such risk alone," he replied, hotly.
"I beg you will do no such thing," I re¬ turned. "Can I believe my ears to hear a gentleman in the nineteenth century talk¬ ing of danger from a ghost ?"
We had moved on to join the others, hut 1 stepped for a moment behind Miss Depford, and joining her cousin, said softly, "1 ask you, as a favor, not to dis¬ turb me in this thiug. I have made up uoy mind to do it!"
"It is not fair of you. Miss Clive to ask this; you know I cannot refuse you any- thuig, yet I fear—"
"Are you two arranging a midnight meeting ia the gallery V How charmingly
romantic it will be ! But I fear, under the circumstances, our wager is at an end," broke in Miss Depford, with a bitter smile as she turned round to address us. "I fancy, on the whole, the ghost's experi¬ ences of Miss Clive will be more instruc¬ tive than Miss Clive's of the ghost."
"You are ^mistaken, my dear Jxilia," replied her cousin, coolly, but with set lips. "Miss Clive was asking me not to interfere with her nocturnal excursion, and I have agreed.   Is that satisfactory?"
"I suppose so—to Miss Clive," was the indifferent reply ; but a malignant smile of triumph played for a moment across her haughty features, belying the indiffer¬ ence of her words. The announcement of my intention caused great merriment among our friends, several of the gentle¬ men volunteering to join in my enter¬ prise ; but I gave them so decided a re¬ fusal they desisted pressing their services.
"I recommend you not to say anything about your plans to my parents," said Jone Botheram, a good-natured girl, and an old school-chum of mine; "they do not view this subject so lightly as we do, and would, I am sure, find some means of thwarting you.-'
Several times during the day did Harry Depford try to dissuade me from my object, but I laughed at his fears, and adhered to my ways. "What were my own feelings in the matter ?" you will ask. " Was I so fearless of ghosts or so disbelieving of the spirit-world as I made appear to others ?" Of ghosts in general I was not; but I would rather face the most break-neck fence in the hunting- field than go by myself at niglit into a churchyard of evil repute.
But this was different. This statue exercised some powerful fascination over me. As I gazed at the marble counten¬ ance those eyes of stone seemed to attract me witli a force I was unable to resist. In life I had never seen a being I so much admired. Miss Depford's parting words as we each retired to our own quarters for the night were to remind me of my wager. 1 replied I had not forgotten, and would enlighten her curiosity next morning.
My suKiU but comfortable room was the only one in a i)iis.sage leading to a narrow staircase, wliicli couiinucicated directly witli the haunted gallery. When I entered I found it wanted but tliree- quarters of an hour to midnight, and did not think it worth while retiring to rest.
Throwing myself into an arm-chair, I opened a novel to pass away the time. I read fitfully, only half following the s;ory, iny eyes straying constantly to the clock on tlie mantelpiece. At five min- niimites befoie 12 I got up, and drawing a shawl about my slioulders—for the uiglit was ciiilly, aud 1 still wore my low evening dress—I sLole from tiie room, caref uil> closing the door behind me. I had taken the precaution to put my feet into a pair of bedroom slippers, and, as I crept down the stone stairs, there could be no footfall distinguishable to the most wakeful ears.
1 was glad to remember Harry's room was at the other side of the house from mine, and as his cousin slept nearly oppo¬ site, fear of her mockery would keep him from stirring. My heart beat strangely, more with excitement thau fear, as I entered the long deserted gallery which, but a few hours earlier, had been echoing with peals of thoughtless laughter. 1 stole along cautiously; gradually I be¬ came accustomed to the silent weirdness of the scene.
The night was not dark. By the pallid moon I could distinguish the features of the grim old Rotherams, looking more ghastly than ever by the cold blue light cast over them. I turned to look out of the window at the scene beneath. I had often thought how beautiful it must look by night. Tlie moou reflected in the placid water, the long shadows thrown by the trees, the hooting of some night- owls only breaking the stillness of the air, all contributed to the grandeur ofthe sight.
As I looked in wonder and admiration, a sudden feeling that I was not alone, that someone, something, I know not what, was close beside me, came over me. For a few seconds I stood still, not dar¬ ing to move, theu by an impulse, I turned round resolutely and came face to face with—not the marble statue, it was no longer visible, but its exact facsimile in —was it flesh and blood, or   *   *   * V
People, as a rule, are supposed to sliudder at the presence of an apparition of this world. I felt no horror: I saw in it the realization of my ideal.
Instinctive I stretched out my hand to feel. This was no resisting flesh with which I came in contact. My hand liter¬ ally passed through the arm on which I had sought to rest it, leaving it perfect in form as before. I^o blood coursed through those cheeks, still white as the marble which had represented them; but the eyes were no longer mere balls of stone, as they glowed fiercely in the pale moon¬ light while fixed immovable on my face.
At that moment there arose in my mind the old saying I had heard—that a ghost will never be the first to speak- therefore I asked firmly ; "Who or what are you V" My own voice sounded loud and strange, echoing strongly in the dead of night, startling me far more than that wliich replied. Those were no deep sepulchral tones which replied. The voice was manly and sweet, only it seemed not to issue from the being who stood be¬
fore me with lips unmoved. I could not tell whence it came. It might have been borne on the wind from some distant land; yet the words were distinctly uttered, and their sound clearly conveyed to me.
"What right have you here ? You have made me the subject of an idle wager; and now, foolhardy that you are, you come thinking to brave me, and to get information with which to amuse yon cowardly dolts. You will learn to rue this." As it spoke the apparition drew nearer to me, and raised its arm with an emphatic gesture. Threatening as were the words, the voice still retained its even tenor.   I still feared it not.
"Your threats are yain; what harm can you do me?" I questioned, looking steadily at those lambent eyes.
"A harm you little wot of," it whis¬ pered; "I can love you I Most creatures have learned to fear a spirit's rage, but you have to learn what it is to be an ob¬ ject of its love." As it said these words, the ghost opened its arms and seemed to throw them round me, its head bent down to mine, and I felt as though a cold blast from an iceberg had swept across my face. Then once more it stood erect. At last the spirit had found a means of moving me, and yet, 1 must own, not to fear. What was it that caused the inward tremor I experienced when it spoke of love, and clasped me in its arms, and pressed its icy kiss upon my lips ? Did I love a spirit V Was such my destiny V I believe uot. Fascinated, enthralled, I certainly was. Yet between the passion which momentarily absorbed me, and that holy, pure affection which, through the unwilling agency of tliis same spirit was at a later time to wake within me, no possible affinity existed.
My weird lover, by this same fascina¬ tion which influenced my every movement and hardly left my thoughts free, com¬ pelled me to sit dovvn ou the low window- seat, while he stood waiting for me to speak.
"Why should I fear your loveV" I asked in a tone of moc' ery. "The gift you offer is not usually considered so valueless that I should not rather welcome than reject it."
A flickering smile passed over the spirit's face.
••So you accept my love I" it muttered, with a sort of low, derisive chuckle; "then yv)u vvill think it a privilege to do my bidding," seating itself beside me. At last 1 shuddered. I had lured it on to the ulmost. Aud now this spirit's in¬ fluence over me was increasing, I was powerless but to do as it coniinaiided. "I have told you," it contined, "wliile you foolish worldliiigsscoff at me—thougii the daylight wanes 1 am unable to cause them fear—yet I can understand their idle talk. I now command you"—with a caressing gesture, which fettered me even more than the imperious words—"to speak to no mortal of what you have seen this night, nor yet to say that you sought me. As for your wager with that haughty girl and her ninny cousin, you must lose it I Mind," it proceeded warningly, "my love you have accepted gratefully, my jealousy you shall have unasked I If any man dare speak to you of love, no matter where it be, beware ye both! My ven¬ geance shall be swift to strike." I heard all, but, unable even in thought to resist I silently acquiesced. "Now, mine own I the day is breaking, I can no longer stay; a week hence at the same hour seek me here again." Thus speaking, my spirit love wrapped me in an embrace which stretched me senseless in the cold gray dawn.
An Owl in Texas.
Kimble County contains a modern arcadia. Twenty-six families live in a delightful valley, the fertile and kind soil of which furnishes a great abundance of luxuriance. The fruits of tha earth, milk and honey and everything else that is good abound. Like the ancient proto¬ type, it is the land of peace, simple pleas¬ ures and untroubled quiet. A civil ma¬ gistrate lives in its midst and fourteen long years he has borne the honors of his office. In all this time not one single suit, civil or criminal, has been brought to his notice. All is peace, contentment and happiness.
One of our Newport swells tells this story of himself. It is his pet story. It impresses different listeners differently. Sometimes I think it doesn't impress them exactly as he expects to, but it is his way of informing the world that he dresses for the evening religiously. I'll try to put it in his own words: "I'm deuced absent-minded, don't you know ? deuced absent-minded. Did something other morning, just like me, don't you know ? Valet was knocked up ; lighted the gas myself when I got up; deuced stubborn mustache, mine is—have to curi it on an iron—lighted gas to heat iron and forgot to put it out. Of course a fellah don't put on his morning clothes by gaslight, and I got into my evening suit. By Jove I opened the front door and stood in evening dress in broad day-light. Haven't got over ifc yet. Gad! upset me entirely ! Felt like a waitaw or a fool. Deuced absent-minded I am, don't you know V"
He Was Sore.
A stranger who was hanging around the State Fair grounds acted in a man¬ ner to attract the attention of a police¬ man, who proceeded to make some in¬ quiries touching his business.
"It's all right, officer—all right," re¬ plied the man as be rested bis back against the fence. "My name's White—Jim White, of Isabella County."
"That's satisfactory."
"And I reached here only two hours ago, after walking most of the way. I'm here to take this thing all in."
"Yes."
"Last time I was hero to the Fair I only had $12, but a pickpocket got $7 of that. This time I've got $22, and nobody gets a cent. There's $4 in each boot, $6 in my undershirt pocket, and the rest is sort o' scattered around promiscuously in my various pockets."
"I guess you are safe."
"You bet I Last time I was here it cost all my cash to buy fodder. See that bag? Well, I've got four loaves of bread, ten pounds of meat, and thirty-two boiled eggs in there for fodder, saying nothing of pickles and cracker". I don't reckon any restaurant will get ahead of me,"
"You are well fixed, indeed."
"There's a man from our county got a big calf here. The three of us are going to sleep together in the stall, and that will save lodgings. I've got my watch tied to my pocket, neither dust nor wet can hurt my clothes, aud if any one goes for me I 've got a lot of pepper to throw in their eyes."
"Well, well."
"I'm going to beat my way in as a preacher," continued the man, "and I'm going to get a*seat on the grand stand by claiming that I'm a member of the Legis¬ lature. Once in I don't come out till the last hog is shipped for home. I'm going to begin with the Jersey calf and take in everything clear back to the wind¬ mills, and if you hear Gov. Begole in¬ quiring if Jim Wliite, of old Isabella, has sliovvn up you can assure him that I'm oa deck and chuck full of biling hot enthusiasm."
Uow to Griddle Oysters.
For this purpose select the largest and finest oysters, drain the juice thoroughly from them. Have the griddle hot, and butter it well; then lay the oysters upon it, in single layer, and when tliey are cooked brown ou one side, turn ifc upon the other and brown that also ; while they are cooking a small piece of butter may be added, this combining with the juice given out by the oyster, forms a brown skin on the griddle, and is the very quintessence of oyster flavor. When done to a nice brown, remove all, oysters aud skin, with a tin slice; put them bn a hot plate and pour over them plain melted butter seasoned with a little cayenne pepper.
One who has never eaten oysters pre¬ pared in this manner does not know what the flavor of an oyster really is; try it, and if you have any difficulty in disposing of them—send for us.
Two Charlotte (N. C.) lawyers have a job on hand in the way of settling up an estate for which, if they ever finish it, they should be allowed the whole property. Mr. Wilson Miller recently died without making a will, and the law directs that the estate be divided between the descendants. He had eleven brothers, and the descendants who are entitled to an interest in the estate are scattered throughout all the Southern States, West Virginia, Ohio aud Illinois. The whole number interested in the case is 150. When the estate is divided among these the shares of those way down in the fifth generation will not be more than one- seven-hundred-and-forty-secoud part of it. The whole thing amounts to but $1,500.

DROWNED IN BEER.
Concerning this Popular Beverage Two Men Kxprcss their Minds.
"The fact is, sir, and you may stick a pin there, that the people of this country are likely to be drowned In a flood of lager beer," shouted an enthusiastic teetotaler the other day into the ear of your cornered oorrespon- ilent. "That German drink has struck us hard. It is the second deluge.'
"Yes, and the wor.st of this beer-drinking business is that it gets up kidney troubles, as a heavy wind raises the waves," added a city physician, who liad a knowledge of the times and a tendency to metaphor. "The midnight 'schooner' leaves behind it a wake of furred tongues, headaches, torpid livers, nausea, and all that, and lays the foundation of Brlght's Disease."
This melancholy fact accounts in part for the increasing sales of BENSON'S CAPCINE PO- KOUS PLASTEK, whicii at once uiij'i-ates these symptoms. Price25 cents. Ask your physician about it.
