There wero but few iiuHseiiirera on tho train, and I bad tho comfort of a car- riago all to mvseii. e stopped to coal at some little way-station, whoa a passenger was hurriedly ushered, or rather bangod, Into my compartment by tho collimator.

In a dress tight-fitting and of an ancient and faded black, ho looked like a man who hud run very much to seed, which per bans accounted for tholuxurlant crow tu of liis arms and lo.rs.

As his cheeks grow round and ruddy, and his liair chunked Horn gray to brown be fore my very eves, I becatuo nervous, and endeavored to cry out, but could not. 1 was puralyed With tho cold- told that (teemed to make my limbs rigid and benumb my vita's, for I saw that the man sitting bcfo.o mo was no longer a stranger no mere friend or aoiuaintani'o ho ha t become Mo! 1 held up my hands to try to shutout tho sight, anil, as I did so, saw that they wero withered, and thin, and old.

"You seo, mv friend, your is a body of air, of shadow, insensible, impalpable to all but myself, just as it was to all but vou when I entered the carriage. You wish, perhaps, to know who j am.

Try the pipe now." I tried to take tho pipe it dropped through my vapory fingers. Ho placed it in my mouth; 1 could not hold it, nor get a whill'from it.

Ho dejiosed to having seen me (only think, me.') leaning out of tho window smok ing a meerschaum pine.

(1) Grafting proper, bv inserting a clon cut from another tree; (:.') budding, as poaches and other trees aro budded; (3) ",u-arching." which consists of uniting tho branches of the tree to bo oliangod and the parent tree. To perform the last successfully the bark should first bo cut away from both branches at a suitable ho gltt to form a snapeiy nead for the young tree, and about two inches in length on each stem. These two prepared surfaces should bo pressed flatly "and firmly to gether ana bound tightly with soft mat ting, which should be covered closely with grafting or other wax to exclude water and air. After tho tre have been united about six weeks, fie parent treo may do severed from the vouiii? ono. ami wncn tno grait begins to gro ircoiv me Damts nntv be cut loose. The newly grafted tree should never bo placed in a high heat or a strong sun shine, ill is method of propagating orango trees is the safest for tho ama teur, as there Is scarcely anv danger of failure if tho oporat on is reasonably wen portormed. i,ven should it fail, the work can bo repealed, as there is usually enough of tho treo left. Iho proper time for "in-arching" the orangu is- when bjth trees aro In a growing condition, as the sap Is more act ve and the parts unite more read lv than at nny other timo.
