THE HURON EXPOSITOR:
OCTOBR 27, 1876.
THE TWA GRAVE -DIGGERS.
"An awfu' nicht, Davie," was the
grave and brief salutation of Jamie
Morton as he approached his colleague,
Davie Blytheswood.
"Juist dreadfu'!" responded the latter,
in a sepulchral tone ; "I wish we hadna
meddled wi' this business."
"Indeed, I'm half repentin' o't, too,"
replied Jamie ; "but I suppose we had
better try an' gang through wi't."
"I fancy we maun," said Davie. Then,
looking up to the sky—"Man it's a fear -
fu' nicht The moon's skippin' frae
duel to clud, like a rabbit jouking amang
whine."
Having thus expressed themselves,
the two gravediggers (who had arranged
to sell a subject to a Glasgow resurrec-
tionist) proceeded in silence towards the
spelling scene of their midnight labors.
On reaching the churchya'
rd the first
thing tbey did,wae to repair to the little
isolated house m which were kept the
implementnecessary in their profession-
al avocations—pick-axes, spades, rakes,
&c.; and having proVidecl themselves
with the necessary assortment requisite
for the present occasion', they proceeded
to the church, of which Jamie always kept
the key. Having opened the door as
gently as possible, they both peeped in,
and, locking it carefully behind them,
groped their way towards the aisle,
which occupied the- further end of the
little Gothic building. it was a dismal
place, this aisle. Tho floor was of soft
earth—th.e atmosphere of the place raw
and damp, and strongly impregnated
• with a disagreeable smell. Its roof,
which was constantly distilling an im-
pure atmosphere, that fell drip, dripping,
with a melancholy sound, on the padded
floor, was supported by two short, thick,
Gothic pillars, and all around were
• melancholy tokens of the sad purpose to
which the place was appropriated—
namely, the interment of persons of note
• in the parish, These tokens were small
irOn-railing enclosures, within which lay
the quiet dead ; tablets of marble, some-
times crowned with urns, on which their
names and virtues were inscribed; and,
in more places than one, huge piles of
coffin fragments told of the long succes-
sion of tenants by whish the place had
been occupied. One small Gothio win-
dow half built up, and in which was no
glue, alone admitted the little light that
found its way into the dismal place of
sepulture.
On reaching the spot of earth on which
they were to perform, and which, from
their familiarity of the place, they readi-
ly found, Jamie and his colleague com-
menced operations ; but it was with
tremblieg hands and quaking hearts.
They were, in truth, both at this moment
perfectly nervous with terror, and fre-
quently paused to ask each other—
'What's that ? Did ye no' think ye
heard something ?"—questions these,
• which, by no means, tended to increase
the fortitude of either of the querists.
Jamie, and Davie were thus proceeding
in the. business of disinterring, when, all
at once, the little Gothic window was
darkened by some object suddenly filling
it nip.
"What's that, Jamie, at the window?"
exclaimed Davie, who was first aware of
the visitation. "There's something or
somebody. Gude- send us safe oot o'
this !—and catch me tryin't again !"
Jamie looked. towards the window, and
was about to utter a cry of terror on
seeing the moveable object at it, to which
his colleague had directed his attention
in so vehement and awe-stricken a whis-
per, when he was prevented, and both
his and Davie's fears relieved, by the
inquiry from without, of—"Is that you?"
spoken in a familiar and confidential
undertone.
"Ay, it's us." exclaimed Davie, gasp-
ing for -breath, and recognizing in the
querist, Coffin Dick, who was at his post
at the hour appointed.
"Are ye weel on V' now inquired Coffin
Dick.
"We're within a fit o'l her," replied
Jamie, smashing away with his spade.
"That's richt. Drive on, and bundle
her oot here as fast's ye can. • Here's the
biller ready for ye,"
• At this moment a flash of lightning,
accompanied instantaneously by a loud
crash of thunder, flung a wild and mo-
mentary gleam into the aisle, through
the little Gothic window. Coffin Dick
leaped to the ground in sudden terror,
albeit not given to flinching for trifles ;
and Davie and Jamie, pausing in their
work,looked in each other's faces in silent
horror and alarm.
"We haena the blessin' o' Providence
in this wark, Jamie,"said Davie. "That's
clear."
"We could hardly (week it," replied
Jamie. "But heaven and earth, what's
that, Davie ? Did ye see't ? Did ye
see't ?" he exclaimed, as if he had gone
distracted, and pointing to a remote
part of the aisle. "There it's—there
it's !"
Davie looked, and, horrifying sight !
saw, through the gloom of the interior of
the aisle a dim white figure, gliding
front pillar to pillar, with noiseless steps
and rapid• movement. In a moment
after, a loud, wild, and maniacal laugh
rang through the aisle, and reverberated
through the dark, silent, and empty
•church adjoining.
"Heaven !" exclaimed Jamie, who
stood petrified with tetror •'his teeth
rattling together, as if lie had been seiz-
ed. with a fit of the ague ; his eyes fixed
in their sockets; and his hair standing
on end, as stiff and uptight as a clothes -
brush, •
On Davie, again, the effect of the
• ghastly minstrelsy had been still more.
serious. It seemed, in truth, to have al-
ready affected his brain.
• Again the wild laugh of the apparent-
ly supernatural visitant rang through
the aisle, • followed by a sepulchral
ditty.
"Welcome, welcome, my merry mates all 1— -
Let's joyously open the spectral hall;
Come forth! come forth of yopr graves, ye dead 1
A measure wild. With US yon must tread." ,
Here the ghastly singer paused an in-
stant, then resumed, with a suddenly
increased rapidity of utterance ;---
oStop, stop the dancer InSilnnee all.
Await the third and final call,
And when it sounds, one piercing yell
Must of our finished pastime tell.
Ho crows again 1 'Tis done! 'tis dope Alarra
burrs 1 /
To your graves, ye dead 1 Away 1 away 1 away!"
-
And, with these concluding words,
which were finisbed off with a - hideous
and most appropriate yell, the mysteri-
ous and terrific visitant rushed, with
open arms and apalling shriek, towards
the petrified gravediggers, who neither
had dared nor had power to move from
•the spot they were in, daring the whole
of bis, her, or its performance. The
effect of this movement, on the part of
the midnight songster, was rather curi-
ous. - It instantly restored both Davie
and Jamie to the full nee of their physi-
cal faculties, and inspired them with
that natural instinct which prompts to
self-preservation. With a yell, or rather
a pair of distinct yellt, not a whit less -
tremendous than that which excited
them, both the gravediggers now flew
madly towards the door of the church,
to . effect their escape; but still eagerly
pursued by their dreadful visitant, who,
however, did not exhibit that knowledge
of the localities of this plaeie of which a
ghost might have been expected to be
possessed ; for he, she, or it eeemed' to
have considerable difficulty in following
out in the dark the track of the fugitives
—a circumstance this greatly in favor of
the latter, who were thereby enabled to
distance their pursuer so far as not only
to gain the door, but to open it too, be-
fore he could close on them. This they
did, then ; and rushing wildly out,
commenceclearing the chuichyard at a
rate which nothing possessed of two legs
could possibly have surpassed.
• "(ludo preserve me ! Davie, my man,
what's the matter wi' ye ?" said the wife
of that functionary, on his entering the
house in the frightfully -troubled condi-
tion into which his recent adventure had
thrown him.
Davie stared wildly at his wife for a
moment without speaking, then oracking
his finger and -thumb, and flinging up,
one of his legs with a mirthful twitch,
he commenced, smiling in armOst ghastly
manner,—" Welcome, welcome my
merry mates all 1" Dreadfully alarmed
by the condition of her husband, whose
intellect she now plainly saw had been
disturbed by some fearful occurrence or
ether, Davis's wife ran out to procure
theassistance of her neighbors ; and, by
their aid, he WO finally. got to bed,
where, nevertheless he still continued
to dream of the spectral ditty. A deep
and refreshing sleep, however, which at
length fell on the weary eyelids of the
distracted gravedigger, and which lasted
for twelve mortal hours, had the effect
of entirely restoring him to his senses.
When he awoke a moment's bewilder-
ment was succeeded by a full conscious-
ness of all that had befallen him, and by
a perfect recovery of all the judgment he
ever possessed. On the subject of his
adventure, however, he kept as silent as
the grave he had gone to disturb, and
Would give no satisfaction to any one
who sought to possess themselves of his
secret.
tamie's oonduct, again, on this event-
ful night, was exactly similar to his
oollea ue's, exoepting that his terror had
never mastered his reason. But he dis-
cover d nearly a similar state of agita-
tion, and preserved a precisely similar
silence regarding its cause. Neither of
them, however, had any doubt. that it
was the angry spirit of the "shusy"
whose mortal remains they had engaged
to put into the hands of Coffin- Didk,
that had interrupted their impious
employment on the memorable night in
question.
• Need we add, good reeder, that a
better solution of the mystery is to be
found in the circumstance of the land-
lord of the Mortsafe Tavern having over-
heard the conversation between Jamie
and the • resurrectionists? The ghost
was no other than that worthy and
facetious person ; who, with the assist-
ance of a friend of the same kidney with
himself, performed the part we have
ascribed to him. • Whether Coffin Dick
ever learned the real facts of the case,
we no not know ; but we do know, that
he never looked neartSunnycraig church-
yard again—at least t; not professionally.

4 Man Finds a Farm that Just
Suits Him in all But one Thing.
A Detroit real estate agent was waited
on by a tall man with a weed on his haa,
who said he had the cash to pay for a
farm, provided he could get one to suit.
The agent smiled him to a seat, and
brought out his register of descriptions.
He had several farms registered on his
books, and he had no doubt that he could
suit the would-be purchaser. The strang-
er remarked : "What I want is a farm of
about 500 acres."
"I've got it," replied the dealer.
"I'd like about six hills on it."
"Here she is—here's a farm with ex-
actly six hills on it."
"And I'd like a lake near the centre."
"Here you are. Here's a farm with a
lake exactly in the centre."
"And I want a big natural cavern in
one of the hills,"
"Here you are. There's a cave on thie
farm which can't be beat,"
The stranger drew a long breath and
went on :
"I want a farm of 300 acres, but 1.00
acres must be marsh land,"
"Here she is," was the ready reply.
"Just 300 aores in the farm, and just 100
acres of marsh land."
"I must have a waterfall 26 feet high
on the farm," continued the stranger.
"llere you are. This farm has a
natural waterfall of twenty-five feet
eleven inches ; I don't suppose an inch
more or less on a waterfall amounts to
much."
"Well, no, but I want a windmill on
one of the hills."
• 'That was put up last year," was the
calm reply.
It was some time before the stranger
thought of anything else, but finally
said ;
"There must be a Baptist church right
across the road from the house."
"One built last summer, sir."
"it must be a brick church,"
"So it is."
"Has it an organ ?"
"It has,"
"Then I can't buy the farm of you,"
said the stranger, rising to go. "If there
is anything I hate, it is a church organ,
and you can see foryourself that I would
be in a state of continual misery. The
farm suits me first-rate, but I can't go
that organ."
Just what estimates these two men
placed upon each other's veracity as they
separated, will never be known.—Detroit
Free Press.
• Move Along Jo'
Professor Evans, of Hamilton College,
tells a good story concerning an inter-
view which his grand uncle Jos. Ellicott,
an Indian agent, once had with the In-
dian chief Red Jacket. Ellicott and the
lndian sat down on a log which happen-
ed to be convenient for the purpose, both
being near the middle. Presently Red
Jacket said, in his almost unintelligible
English : "Move along, Jo." Ellicott
did so, and the sachem moved up to him.
In a few minutes camestnother request :
i
"Move along, Jo," and a ain the agent
complied mad the chief followed. Sores-
ly had thisheeu done when Red Jacket
said again) "More along Jo." Much
I '
annoyed, but willing to humor him, and
not seeing what he meant. Ellioott oom-
plied, tine time reaching the end of the
log. BUS that tWas not sufficient, and
presently the request was repeated for
the fourth time: "Move along, Jo."
"Why, man," angrily replied ElliooH,
"I can't move any further without get-
ting off from the log into the mud."
"Ugh 1" said the chief, "Just me white
man. Want Indian move along—move
along. Can't go no farther, but he say—
move along."
Printer's Rules.
The following rules should be striotly
observed by persons haring occasion to
visit a printing office:
1. Enter softly.
2. Sit down quickly.
3. Subscribe for the paper.
4. Pay for it in advance.
5. Don't touch the type.
6. Keep six feet from the devil.
7. Don't talk to the compositors.
8t Hands off manuscript.
Gentlemen observing thine rules when
entering an office, will greatly oblige the
_editor and not fear the devil.
Ladies who bless us with their presence
are not expected to keep those rules
strictly. Boys unaccompanied by their
parents are requested to keep their mouths
and'pookeis shut. Girls are exempt from
this rule.,
Hopeless Passion.
To have the conscience suddenly steep-
ed with another's personality, to have
the strongest inclination pieseesed by an
image which retains its dominance in
spite of change and apart from worthi-
ness—say, to feel a passion which clings
the faster for the tragko pangs inflicted
by a cruel recognized unworthiness—is a
phase of love which in, the feeble and
coinmon-minded has atrepulsive likeness
to a blind animalism,
insensible to the
higher sway of moral affinity or heaven -
lit admiration. But when this attaching
force is present in a nature not of brutish
unmodifiableness, but of a human dignity
that can risk itself safely, it may even
• result in a devotedness not unfit to be
called divine in a higher sense tbsu the
ancient. Phlegmatic rationality stares
and shakes its head at -these unaccount-
able prepossessions, but they exist as un-
deniably as the winds and Travels deter-
mining here a wreck and there triumph-
ant voyage,
• A Curious Incident.
The following curious incident, related
by the Cleveland Herald, shows how
packages are sometimes lost in the mall:
About four years ago a registered pa -
age, valued valued at fifty dollars'was• mailtd
at Lindenville to a post -office in Penn-
sylvania. It disappeared, and all search
for it was unavailing. Lindenville is a
country post office, and the mail is car-
ried thence to Williamsfield by a route
agent. In this case the Lindenville 'post-
master had .a, receipt for the package
from the agent, but as the agent had
none from the Williamsfield postmaster,
it could be traced no further, and the
route agent was compelled to pay the
loss. A short time ago the package was
found in the Williamsfield post -office,
It had been received from the route
agent in a small pouch, together with
about 40 letters, and as the pouch was
an extra one only occasionally used, it
was by mistake hung upon a hook near
the postmaster's desk, and there having
been no use for it since, it has been
there all these years. Recently the pouch
was taken down for use, and its contents
found intact.
A Boy's 'Unfortunate Trip.
One evening • bright looking boy call-
ed at the Salem station house for $ lodg-
ing, saying that be came from Portland,
Me., on the train. He told his story as
follows : His name isi James Chill, and
he is thirteen years old. • His father is a
fireman on the Pacific •Corporation of
Lawrence, Mmes. • He was one of six
children, and left his home thirteen weeks
before with the boys attached to Bar-
num's Show. Eight weeks ago,
while
passing through Morrill's Corner, Maine,
asleep on a freight trine, her fell from a
car at ono o'clock in the morning and
fifty loaded cars passed over hie right
arm.
After the train passed he got up, and
taking the bleeding stump m his left
hand he travelled more than a nsile be-
fore he came to a house. Arousing the
inmates the good farmer took him in a
wagon to a railroad station and telegraph-
ed to Portland for -surgical aid, and two
surgeons from the hospital amputated
hie arm at the shoulder, taking hies back
to the hospital, where he was cared for
•until his arm healed, and now, he said,
he was on his way to Lawrence. He is
• a bright, lively looking lad, but does not
probably realize his great loss. He was
not employed by the circus company, but
made friends with the boys who were
attached to it; who looked out for his
board.
The Cotton Crop.
The following is the crop report of the
Augusta (Ga.) Cotton Exchange. The
report is based on 26 replies from 17 coun-
ties, of an average date of Sept. 30 : The
weather from the 1st to the 10th,in some
counties to the 12th, was very dry, caus-
ing general shedding of the young top
crop, and rapid and somewhat premature
opening of the grown bolls. From the
10th to the 12th some heavy winds and
rain -storms were general in this section
blowing and beating some wen dotton,
and injuring the quality of what was open
There was frost in some localities on the
let of October, but no damage is reported
to the cotton plant. The drought during
the early part of the month caused young
fruit to burn up. The storms during the
middle of the month had an effect on the
quality, but not on the quantity, of the
crop. The damage suffered by the crop
is mainly from dry rust and consequent
shedding, and probably amounts from 15
to 20 per cent. No damage from rot or
worm is reported, except on a very few
river bottom fields. Picking is progres-
sing very rapidly. Three-fourths of the
crop is open. A large number of extra
hands are employed at cash wages to
gather it. Probably half the cotton is
picked. The yield is reported about the
same as last year. The loss suffered by
planters from Aug. 10 to Sept. 10 was so
great a per centage of their previous ex-
pectations that now many are inclined to
underestimate the yield. But, in all
probability, from data based upon the
most reliable information obtainable, this
section will make about 10 per cent. more
cotton than last year.
