The man was hauged, as I said. With hie last breath he declared hie innocence. S.me timeago I was sitting in the parlor of the Astor Houde. I noticed to very elegant women of middle loge, whom I had never seen before, gazing at rue with a look lice that of a sleet' walker. T'hiuking she was .desirous of lootting out of the window at which I was seated, I was about to move awsy, when elle said "Do not let me disturb you. I only cane to tell you there is a spirit here, that of a Iran in whom you once kindly interested yourself during his unhappy earth life. His name is—Yea re- member bine, do yea net?

Inas for areply or an excuse. Astounded beyond immure, I rost '"That wase good sermon we hats fr •m my seat, and, after thanking tht last Sunday evening," said the gentle- lady, went straight to the clerk of the Hotel. All be could tell me about het ,van that she was from Oregon, had ar- rived the night before and was to leave an the nest Boston train. I am certain, I say again, that I had never spoken of that impulse to Haan or woman. How did she know of it man. "True for you, yer honor, an illigant one ?

There was more philosophy than he was aware of in the gnaint reasoning of the man. An impression for good or evil is often left upon the mind end bears fruit, when what has caused the influence has passed away from our memories. THE SO21E ACCIDENTAL; JOKES. It has often been saitl,that the best jokes are those which are made by acci- dent, and this is certainly the way with proper names. Few intentionta, -bulls" have ever been more eoniplete than the grave official entry in a list of Scottish landed proprietors : "John Elder, the younger, in right of Mrs. Margaret Husband, his wife," The worthy country gentleman wtio, eighty years ago taunted the leader of the Oepoeition with looking like a "fox that had fallen into a pit," was as much astounded as any one at the roar- of oarof laughter which greeted this uncon- scious pun upon the names of Mr. Pitt and 111r.

In the list of the Euelish Navy for the last. century the reader's eye is still startted by the sight of the frigate Vengeance, commanded by Captain Death, was a first officer called William Devil, and a surgeon bearing the pleasantly sug- gestive name of John Ghost. But of all the authentic) oases of this kind, the moat singular is one which occurred at a wayside tavern in the West of Eng- land not many years ago. Three roist- ering commercial travellers meeting in this plane one winter evening, had a hearty carouse, together, as a matter of douse. Sapper over, the three found some difficulty in allotting their respective shares of the bill ; bat one of them at length out ohne the dispute by proposing that whoever had the "oldest name" among them should go scot free, the expenses being halved by the other two. This amendment being promptly accepted, No. 1 produced a card inscribed ',Richard Eve," whioh. No. 2 tromped with "Adam Brown. The No.8, a portly veteran with aha•, =none grey eye, laid' down his card: with the (mist,,00nfidence of a great general making n decisive movement and remarked with a thiok chneklo, "1 don't aaoli think you'll beat this 'un. gents."
