Authors and their Moods.

The reading of Mr. T. A. LePage’s paper on ‘* Authors aad their Moods,” last evening, before the Literary and Scientific in the Y. M. C. A. lower Parlor, was followed by a thoughtfal, genial and humorous debate, which was taken part in by Messrs James McDonald, John New- son, J. M. Davis, John S. McDonald, J. A. Lawson, D. A. McKinnon, J. H. Good, Alex. McKinnon, and H. C. McDonald, the Secretary of the Society, who expressed themselves pleased with the paper, and gwmerally coincided with the views ex- pressed therein. Mr. LePage’s inclination and sympathies are evidently with the school of poets and thinkers of the Matthew Arnold type, where ‘‘ sweetness and light

society,

are the general characteristics. We were vlad t ibserve that amongst the young men wh spoke on the subject, as well as

amongst those where Time’s silver threads

were apparent, a taste for the reading and

study of the poets has not been neglected. >

A Ghost that Throws Stones.

Letter to Boston Post.)

(Sandwich, Mass.,

There strange stories afloat in the community in this part of the Cape as to a ghost which has made its appearance in and around the little village of Cotuit, on the border of the recently incorporated town ctf | Marshpee. Cotuit and Marshpee are | separated by a small trout stream, and on the northerly side of this stream, in Marsh- pee, seems to be the favorite haunt of a tall chost. The road from Cotuit to Sandwich passes over a bridge crossing this stream, and these who are wont to pass in carriages along this highway are the wit- nesses as to the fact of the ghost’s existence, Tue first introduction of the passengers to the spook was the surprisingly rapid throw- ing of stones against the side of the vehicle in which the passengers were seated. After the first volley the passengers looked out in the direction whence the stones came and saw, to their amazement, the aforesaid ghost, which was the tall and dark figure of A kind of sorrowful look of re venge seemed to have taken possession of her face, Soon she would dematerialize and vanish away into the bowels of a neigh- boring hill. The ghost wears a long and dark flowing dress, the passengers say, and

a female.
