One evening, while in company with some friends—ladies and gentlemen—the conversation turned blins, evil spirits, haunted houses, and the like; and being a great skep- tic in all such matteas, I freely expressed myself to that effect, saying that I believed all ghosts to be mere fancies of timid vision- aries, and the nocturnal disturbers of haunted houses to exist only in the fevered imagina- tions of ignorant, eredulous fools. As several of the party had great faith in the interference of spirits in our mundane upon ghosts, ho 20 affairs, my positive and strongly expressed reports concerning its unnatural tenants ?; ' startling.

When my friends got ready to depart, 1 told them that they might leave me there—that Heaven and the Other Place permitting, [ should spend the night under that roof—-and that, lif they felt any interest in my fate, they | might come for me the next morning at sun- rise. They all shook hands with me, confess- ed they did not envy me my night’s lodging and possible entertainment, and went away with much lighter spirits than I felt at secing | them take their leave. I shall briefly pass over the first part of the night, because nothing remarkable then occurred. I had selected a front room in the second story for my watch, and, pistol ir hand, had stationed myself by one of the ] RECIPES FOR SERMON-MAKING. | There is an old recipe for making punch, | expressed in the following distich :—~ One of sour, two of sweet, | Four of strony, two of weak. ; [ts meaning, in the primary application, is obvious.

The lemon of the pulpit must be assumed to be any kind of unpleasant or unpalatable truth. An appeal for money, for instance, is in many cases an acid in common use. Then for “sweet’’ we have tbat tender style, those honied accents, those |flowers of rhetoric which a familiar print has immortalised as ‘treacle.’ ‘Strong’ is imported in the shape of quotations from the Fathers, or passages from the old English divines.
