It was rumored that some time after the man's ghont had been soon perambulating through the grave * yard. yard."Well , I can't say that I do believe in ghosts altogether. It's kind of natural you know , for n colored man to bo n llttlo superstitious. My father bollorod in them , nnd BO did my moth er. But then , you know , there nro plenty of white folks , highly educated , too , who have the same notions. Why , when the old Puritan fathers of Now England believed in witchcraft , In ghosts nnd the llko , yon ought not to wonder at the poor black man , iguor * ant and illiterate , being inclined to such seemingly unreasonable and ridiculous things. I remember one morning , now many years ago , as I was on my way to town , going past the graveyard it waa in the dark that immediately prccodoa the day when suddenly thcro appeared atraugo fig. nroi filing Indian style out of the graveyard. They ranged thomualves In front nnd on eitbor aide of mo. I couldn't movo. They were little fol lows with loner , peaked faces , ihnrp , black oyoa , bony arms , spludlo log ? , and each a different kind of a hat which ran to a point high up , and each a sort of a etlck in his hand. They made all kinds of grimaces and signs , danced around in a sort of hellith delight , seated thorn- solves on atones , stumps and on rails. Suddenly they remained motlonleos. Then a fire sprung up in the middle of the road. It waa a sickly sort of n light nnd had a great deal of smoke about it. Then a little black dog came quietly ont of the graveyard and walked around the fire ; then another and another , until seven had done the same thing , and all disappeared as quietly as they had come. The fire wont out and in its place sprung up n hngo man with long horns , who had a long polo in hla hand which ho waved three timcB when each little man van ished ont of sight. Seeing my way clear , nnd fearing the renppoarnnco cf the biff dovll , having regained my con- ociousncss a little , I Btartod off on a run , looking ever ray chouldor occasionally to sob if nil was right in the roar , and feeling somewhat re lieved , ahot off llko a deer , not stop ping till I got full well into town. "Again , too , In daylight once when I was taking a load of wheat to the mill. I had to cross a buggy in which waa n sorrel horeo driven by a tall man with a long flowing beard. That wo might not moot on the bridge. I saw them distinctly. All of n snddon the man sprang from the buggy , leaped - od over the bndgo nnd was lost in the creek. The hoi so nnd buggy dlnap- poarod nnd the way waa loft clear for me to pane , but I was frightened nud bewildered nt this atrango phenome non , and it took a good deal of skir mishing around there before I madn up my mind to go over the bridge. I never pass there now that I nm not reminded of that sight. "O , I could tell you of a hundred or moro such storloa that I h vo hoarder or been a witness to.

"Condemn you , I've a notion o choke the liver ont of yon. Who tied hat twiuo to the dog's tnlll1' ' The boy choked up with emotion , and the tears came into his eyes , and 10 said ho didn't know anything about ho twlno or the dog. Ho said ho no- toed the dog eomo in , and wag his all around the twine , but ho supposed ho dog was a friend of the family , ind did not disturb him , "Every- > ody lays everything that is done tone no , " said the boy , as ho pnt his hand- lorohlof to his nose , "and they will bo sorry for It when I die , I have a ; oed notion to poison luyaolf by cat * ng some of your glnoosu sugar. " "Yes , and you do about ovorythlng hat is mean. The other day a lady aino in and told mo to send up to her louse some of my country sausage , lone up in muslin bags , and whllo sno was examining it she noticed some- hlng hard inside the bags , and asked no what It was , and opened it , and I lope to die If there wasn't a little > rass padlock and a piece nf red mo * occo dog-collar imbedded In the sail- ago. JNow , how do you suppose that ; ot in there ? " and the grocery man ookod savage. The boy looked interested , and pnt n an expression as though in deep bought , aud finally said , "I suppooo ho farmer that pnt up the sausage lid not strain the dog moat. Sausage moat ought to bo strained , " The grocery man pulled in about mlf a block of twine , after the dcg isd run against a fence and broke it , aud told the buy ho know perfectly Tell how the brass padlock carne to bo u the sausage , but thinking that it vaa safer to nave the good will of tha > oy than the 111 will , ho offered him a mndful of prunes. "No , " saya the boy , ' 'I have sworn ( f on moldy prunes. I am no kinder ; orton any more. For years I have eaten rotten poaohoa around this tore , and everything you couldn't ell , but I have turned over a now oat now , and after this nothing ia too oed for mo. Since pa has got to be an inventor wo are going to live high. " "What's your pa invented ?

Ma told him ho would put his foot in It , and ho told nor to dry up and lot him run the steve busi ness. Ho said It took a man with brains to run a patent right , and ran she palled the clothes over her head and lot pa do the fire act. She has been building the fires for twenty yearj , and thought she'd let pa soc how good it wao. Well , pa pulled the stove to tho" bed. I touched off the kindling wood. I guess maybe I got a bnndlo of kindling wood that the hired girl had put kerosene on , 'cause it bit zed up awful aud smoked , and the blnzj bnrstod out the doors and windows of the stove , and pa yollot fire , nnd I jumped out of bed and rushed in , and ho was the scartesl man you over BOO , an * you'd a dlde tc BOO how ho kicked when I throwod t pall of water on his legs and put hie shirt out. Ma did not got burned , but she waa pretty wet , and she told pa eho would piy the $5 royalty or that stove aud take the castors oil and lot it remain stationary. Pa saya he will make it work if ha burns tht house down. I think it wasroal meat In pa to get mad at roe because 1 threw cold water on him instead ol warm water to pnt his shirt out. If 1 had waited till I oonld heat water tc the right temperature I would have been an orphan and pa would have boon n burnt offering , But some men always kick at everything.
