It almost filled a page Of the Chronicle and Post, And set everybody wondering At the funny little ghost. In a modest little mansion The little ghost appeared, With the most unearthly noises That ever had been heard. The women almost fainted, And the men could nothing boast, For their knees grew very weak About this horrid little ghost. The sofas and the tables Went dancing sound in pairs, And easy chalks and boxes Went flying down the stairs. The bedsteads and the bureaus Were on a little bust And he played the very dickens, Did this pesky little ghost. But the foulest trick of all Of this tricky little sprite Was played upon the chickens When he came another night. Their little wings were plucked As they stood upon the roost, Till they were not worth a feather, By this wicked little ghost. And the people got so scared That they had to move away, From this little haunted house, Full of strange diablerie, And scientific gentlemen, The wisest on the Coast, Seek in vain to solve the mystery Of this curious little ghost.

If our noble king is imprisoned here, we must release him." Thus saying, and with one servant to bear his shield and harp he rode to the bridge and demanded food and shelter for himself and servant. After much parley, he was received, but very ungraciously. However, within those dreary walls he found a beautiful woman, the keeper's niece, whose smile was like the warm sunlight on a winter's day. After dinner, the minstrel sang to the drowsy uncle and the charming niece. As the former after a while, seemed to sleep soundly, the knight began: "You seem to love music, fair lady! But surely, you do not often hear it in this lonely castle." "No. only myself and one poor prisoner sing." "A prisoner?" "Yes! and he must be of gentle birth! But I dare not say more lest my uncle wake. He will be angry if I talk of him:" "Tell me one thing, dear maiden; can I hear the song of this lonely one, who sings for freedom?" "Yes, if you listen to-night! His melancholy songs bring the tears to my eyes often enough!" Just now the old keeper awoke, and giving orders to lead the stranger to his apartment, he himself went out. When our knight entered his chamber, he went to the window and vainly strove through the deepening twilight, to find the tower in which he supposed his dear king to be. Soon a melancholy voice was heard singing these words: "The golden stars wander over hill and valley, messengers of my longings and my grief.

The beautiful river Rhine, in some of its windings, is not unlike that portion of our Hudson which flows through the Highlands. But it differs vastly from the latter in that the grand old hills and immense rocks lying on either side are covered with ruins of what were once massive towers, castles, and strongholds. These frowning battlements, perched upon jagged rocks and steep mountain passes, were the homes of the warlike knights and barons of old time, whose lives seemed spent in warring against each other. To all these ancient ruins throughout Germany, as well as on the Rhine, is attached some story or romance woven from history or tradition. A charming German author has gathered into a little volume many of these legends. One of the most delightful of them is connected with Richard I., King of England, called Richard Cour-de-Lion, because of his indomitable courage and bravery. Richard was born in Oxford, and in 1189 succeeded his father, Henry II. It is said that his haughty spirit and unbending will hastened the death of the old king. Partly from remorse for past conduct, partly from martial taste, which early in life distinguished him, soon after his accession to the throne he alied with Philip of France for a second crusade against the famous Saladin, Emperor of Egypt and Syria. Saladin had wrested Jerusalem from the hands of the Christian knight, Reginald de Chatillon, and slain many of his followers. News of this disaster reached England. Richard determined to gain possession of the holy city. The key to Syria was the fortress St. Jean d'Acre, which endured a siege of two years before yielding to the combined forces of England and France. However, before the lion-hearted monarch had time to take personal possession of Jerusalem, news reached him of war at home. He concluded a truce with Saladin, and quickly embarked to quell the revolt in his own kingdom. On the coast of Italy he was shipwrecked. Nothing daunted by this new misfortune, he disguised himself as a pilgrim, hoping to pass through Germany unknown. By some means, however, he became known to Leopold, Duke of Austria, who, to gratify a personal prejudice caused him to be arrested and secretly imprisoned. The name of this great monarch had been spread far and near by pilgrims to the Holy Land; by the songs of troubadors, and the plandits of those who fought under him. His own knights worshiped him, and a number of them banded together determined, if he was still living, to find his hiding place and deliver him. On a lovely summer morning, a troop of horsemen were passing through the country, in which law a portion of the "Yes, if you listen to night! His melancholy songs bring the tears to my eyes often enough!" Just now the old keeper awoke, and giving orders to lead the stranger to his apartment, he himself went out. When our knight entered his chamber, he went to the window and vainly strove, through the deepening twilight, to find the tower in which he supposed his dear king to be. Soon a melancholy voice was heard singing these words: "The golden stars wander over hill and valley, messengers of my longings and my grief. In this gloomy prison I pass my life and can only confide my woes to heaven." "Oh, my king!" sobbed the knight as a pale face appeared at a lower window. "How can I tell you how near your friends are? "The harp!" he cried suddenly, and snatching it up with trembling fingers, he played a romance which he had composed for the king. No sooner had he finished a few bars than the voice in the tower caught up the air and finished it." "Blondel?" exclaimed the king. For answer, the minister again seized his harp and sang: "Oh! Richard, oh! my King, The world abandons thee, And no one now is seeking Thy deverance, but me. I'll save thy precious person, I will break thy cruel chain, I pledge myself in song Thy freedom to regain." Blondel spent the night in laying plans for the deliverance of Richard. He resolved to gain salmittance into the castle for his followers, through his friendship for the lovely girl, who had already made an impression on his heart. Within a day or two the newly elected emperor was to be crowned at Frankfort. On the evening of the coronation, he directed the landlord of the little inn near Triefels to give to the garrison of the castle a banquet, that with proper ceremony they might drink to the health of the new monarch. Meanwhile one by one, his own trusty knights stole through the twilight to the woods behind the castle. At a late hour of the evening the little side gate of the fortress opened, as the young maiden cautiously stole out to meet Blondel. Then, for the first time, he unfolded to her the real object of his meeting with her, entreating her to fly back to England with the king (whom he was about to liberate) and himself; assuring her that every token of love and gratitude should be shown her if she would yield to his wishes. With a cry of astonishment and pain, she exclaimed: "Oh, traitor! oh, woof! my poor uncle!" As she turned to fly within the castle walls, the followers of Blondel—who, in the darkness, had approached unperceived, flocked about her and made their way to the castellan's room, where the tower keys were kept. The few defenders of the fortress who were not at the village fete were soon overpowered; the old keeper was powerless—but he cried out, as the liberated Richard stood before him: "Against this deed, contrary to the law of nations. I protest; and swear that you shall not leave Germany in safety." The Farmers' and Merchants' Bank OF LOS ANGELES. BANK CAPITAL ... $500,000 JOHN G. DOWNEY... PRESIDENT. ISAIS W. HELLMAN... CASHIER.

With a cry of astonishment and pain; she exclaimed, "Oh, traitor! oh, woe! my poor uncle!" As she turned to fly within the castle walls, the followers of Blondel—who, in the darkness, had approached unperceived, flocked about her and made their way to the castellan's room, where the tower keys were kept. The few defenders of the fortress who were not at the village fete were soon overpowered; the old keeper was powerless to do aught—but he cried out, as the liberated Richard stood before him: "Against this deed, contrary to the law of nations. I protest; and swear that you shall not leave Germany in safety!" The poor maiden threw herself upon her knees and accused herself as the cause of this terrible disaster. Meanwhile the report of the attack upon the castle had reached the inn, and the warriors came back in hot haste to find themselves barred outside the walls, with a threat that if they did not disperse, the castellan should lose his head and the castle be destroyed. Blondel and the king urged the maiden to return with them to England, but she could not forgive the man who had used her heart for an act of treason. Blondel left her, but not until she had accepted a ring and a chain of gold in token of his eternal remembrance of her love and service toward him. We do not propose to follow the fortunes of Cœur-de-Lion after his escape from Triefels; but to tell the reader what tradition says of the minstrel Blondel and the unhappy maiden. Many, many years after the events which we have described, and on another summer day, a gray-haired cavalier rode over the same mountain pass, where the king had been sought and found. "Here," murmured he, "here have I felt, in days gone by, the highest bliss and the deepest woe of my life!" Slowly he rode on till he reached the little inn. As he looked into the face of the landlord, he discovered the features of the young shepherd-boy. With an almost tender interest the two (one of whom was Blondel) talked of the past. In tears, the now old minstrel learnt the sad fate of the castellan and his niece. He was killed by some hidden hand soon after the flight of Richard was discovered. The broken-hearted maiden entered a convent near Baden, where henceforth her life and history were lost to the world. None can visit this ancient ruin of Triefels without a melancholy interest. If our noble king we must release and with one sergeant and harp he rode demanded food and servant. After was received, but very wever, within those and a beautiful womance, whose smile was light on a winter's minstrel sang to the charming niece. A while, seemed to night began: we music, fair lady! not often hear it in and one poor pris- as they recall the prison-life of the great King Richard; the touching romance of the minstrel knight, Blondel, and the lovely, loving maiden over whose story centuries have now rolled. — Western Rural. Political Morality. We hear a great deal now-a-days about the rule of "second-rate men;" and there are many good people who fancy that the country is suffering from the lack of great statesmanship among our law-makers and the executive officers of the government. There is a measure of justice in this judgment, without doubt, but it does not cover the ground. There is, at least, ability enough among these men to carry their policy, whatever it may be. There is no lack of ingenious subterfuge, far reaching intrigue, bold and powerful leading, and personal influence and public eloquence, to compass any end desired. There is no lack of instrumentalities to push any approved party scheme; to forward any special interest; to advance any sectional policy; to secure the personal aggrandization of any pet of a cabal. From the low standpoint of the prevalent political morality, there seems to be abundant intellectual ability to carry any desirable measure. It is not the brains that are at fault; it is the heart. It is not ability that is wanting; it is morality. The people of America richly deserve the infliction of all the evils from which they suffer. From the time of General Jackson to this day there has been practically but one rule in the selection of a chief magistrate, and that rule has been mainly followed in the election of our ANECDOTES. THE SHIRT THAT OPENED BEHIND —A man in Greenfield, whom we will call William, got up the other morning and proceeded to put on a shirt which his wife had just made for him, after a new pattern. As she stood at the mirror enclosing her hair, she heard a suppressed sound, half-way between a groan and an oath, and turning round, said, laughing, "Why, my dear!" "Shut up," he ejaculated. "You are a born fool. Never let a woman attempt to fit a shirt; she can't do it; it is one of the impossibilities." "But, William—" deprecatingly. "Don't you talk—let me talk. Do you think I am going down town in this rig? A pretty disposition you've got; just because I happened to find a little fault last week with your ironing, you must go and make me a shirt without a bosom! Such malicious conduct, madam, is unpardonable! Shut up. I say! I won't hear a word. When a starched shirt front is the only finery that a man indulges in, is he not excusable for being particular in regard to that, I should like to know! And this thing sets like the devil. Look how baggy it is here in front, and it feels behind as if there was a board bound across me"—walking up and looking in the glass, bitching up first one shoulder and then the other, after the indescribable manner of a man trying on a new garment. His wife dared not speak, but bringing a good-sized mirror from the next room, she held it up behind him for a moment; and perceiving by his crestfallen expression that he saw the point and the front, she ran down stairs to settle the coffee, and to see that Bridget had set the table geo- to secure the personal aggrandizement of any pet of a cabal. From the low standpoint of the prevalent political morality, there seems to be abundant intellectual ability to carry any desirable measure. It is not the brains that are at fault; it is the heart. It is not ability that is wanting; it is morality. The people of America richly deserve the infliction of all the evils from which they suffer. From the time of General Jackson to this day there has been practically but one rule in the selection of a chief magistrate, and that rule has been mainly followed in the election of our legislatures. This rule is known as "availability." Each party has put forward for its leaders, little and large, those who for any reason seem likely to get the largest number of votes. In no instance during this period have we had in the presidential chair a first class man. Some of our presidents have been good but weak; some have been old political trimmers; some have been boors who were the laughing stock of the whole nation; some have been mulish and ignorant. Certainly no one has stood upon an equality with Washington, Jefferson, and the Adamses. The question of morality is not one with which our people have concerned themselves at all. Men have been chosen because they were not statesmen; because they were unknown; because they were popular with the rabble; because they were good soldiers; because they could get votes. We do not know of one man during the whole period who was chosen because he was a Christian gentleman and a statesman, and so above all unworthy motives in the administration of the duties of his office. Of the rules that prevail in the election of our national legislators our readers are good judges, and they know that almost everything else is considered before morality. There are men of influence in both Houses of Congress whose personal characters and histories will not bear inspection for a moment—men with whom no one can come into association without a stain. Far be it from us to deny the presence of good men in Congress. There are as noble men there to-day as there ever were, but their influence is nullified by their bad and unscrupulous associates. Some of the very men who are trusted least by the country, and whose moral reputation is a stench in the nostrils, of the world, are most prominent in the national councils and most powerful in the direction of government patronage. We long ago ceased to expect perfection in the world of politics, but the duty of every honest man to try for it never ceases. When we get honest men in the places of trust—men with whom honor is more than money, and duty more than preferment, and country more than party, and God more than all, we shall have wisdom in law and purity in administration. Personal immorality and wise statismhip cannot exist together, and until the American people insist that their public servants shall be gentlemen, at the least, they must expect to suffer at large from the conflicting policies of sellish and corrupt men. CREMATION.—Still two results may be ing particular in regard to that, I should like to know! How this thing sets like the devil. Look how baggy it is here in front, and it feels behind as if there was a board bound across me"—walking up and looking in the glass, hitching up first one shoulder and then the other, after the indescribable manner of a man trying on a new garment. His wife dared not speak, but bringing a good-sized mirror from the next room, she held it up behind him for a moment; and perceiving by his crestfallen expression that he saw the point and the front, she ran down stairs to settle the coffee, and to see that Bridget had set the table geometrically. As William walked down to his office that morning he said to the first friend that he met,"I tell you, Tom, that little wife of mine is a born genius. Look at this shirt, now; she cut and made it all herself. Do you see, it's open behind; no confounded buttonholes to bother a fellow. Just send your wife up for the partern." And it was by the way of Tom's wife that Lizzie first knew that William was pleased with his shirts. DR. BETHUNE.—A mutual friend told us he was with the doctor once, on a tronting excursion up in the backwoods of Maine. They were riding together in a car on some branch railroad, quite early in the morning. The car was comparatively empty, and the doctor, who had lost rest, was dozing. At a way-side station a man entered, who, from some cause, was greatly excited with anger, and came into the car, swearing roughly and loudly. He seized one of the seat-backs and dashed it over with noisy violence, cursing the railroad company as he did so with great vehemence. Bethune, roused up from his nap, looked frowningly at the man (for he had no patience with profanity), and as he still continued his noise, said to him mildly, but firmly, "My friend, I wish that you would not make quite so much noise; I want to get to sleep." Upon this, the excited man turned the battery of his abuse upon Bethune, winding up his tirade with this query. "Do you think I'm a fool?" The doctor instantly and distinctly replied, with an air of great politeness: "Well, sir: I would not have ventured the assertion, but since you have asked my opinion, I am not prepared to deny it." The man was silenced; he had no further remarks" to offer. He certainly had been most frankly and politely answered, and he seemed "satisfied." ON SHARES — A good story, and all the better in being true, is told of one of our citizens, who let a piece of ground to a man. The man would hire the lot, but the owner, doubtful of getting any money of the tenant, proposed to let it upon the promise of receiving half the products. Occasionally during the summer he passed the spot and was pleased with the cultivation it was receiving, and with its goodly show of vegetables. Harvest came and passed, and he heard nothing from his tenant, till in response to a hint, the latter sent him one watermelon and three shriveled cucumbers. Indignant at this shabby treatment, he called upon the man, and asked him what it meant. "Why, you see,'squire' replied the tenant,"the peaky boys stole When we get honest men in the places of trust—men with whom honor is more than money, and duty more than party, and God more than all, we shall have wisdom in law and purity in administration. Personal immorality and wise statesmanship cannot exist together, and until the American people insist that their public servants shall be gentlemen, at the least; they must expect to suffer at large from the conflicting policies of sellish and corrupt men. Cremation. Still two results may be looked for from this agitation; a successful "placing" of the company's stock upon the market, whereby people can get a taste of cremation in having their fingers burned; and a reduction in the cost of decent burial which must be made now that public attention is being so directly drawn to the subject—Hartford Courant. A Corning, Ia., youth paid his attention to two young ladies and proposed marriage to both. They found out about it, invited him to the house of one of them and asked him to take a seat between them, which he did, sitting down in a tub of water, over which a covering had been nicely spread. He did not stay a great while after that. A young unmarried clergyman in Brockport, in conversation, said that the young ladies nowadays can make rich cake, but they can not make good bread. A few days after making the remark, the Fishkill Standard asserts, the divine received fourteen loaves of bread, with the compliments of fourteen young ladies of his congregation. A Detroit gentleman prides himself on his fine fowls, and his neighbor is equally vain of a fine coach dog. The dog worries the life out of the chickens. A few days ago the owner of the dogs received the following note: "Friend: You keep dogs. I keep chickens. If my chickens worry your dogs, shoot 'em." There was a fire in Detroit, the other day, and one man in the vicinity was assisted by the neighbors in removing his things, and all the goods that he can find now are three legs of a table and a singed straw bed. Galveston is the only town in Texas which has yet ordered postal cards. CREMATION.
