It is tweet to receive a long and truth
fal letter from an old friend who in tome
sadden plerplexity of life tarns to 700 for
advice, U confident he is going to get the
advice, and baa confidence enough in
joar discretion, wisdom and experience
sot to follow the advice when he gets it.
' All great men like to give advice. Jay
Gould told me once, with tears in his
eyes, that never is his heart so full of the
holiest and most tender joy this sad earth
can know as when he is giving kind and
paternal advice to some untutored and
child-like millionaire bosom-friend how
to invest his hard-earned savings. It is
related in this connection that Cyrus
Field once bat this is irrelevant.
I received the following letter yester
day: Skaheatelas, N. Y., Aug 25.
Diab Sib: Excuse the liberty I take
in addressing you, a perfect stranger, but
I have seen your name in print. I have
accumulated quite some money by the
death of my uncle James. Perhaps you
have heard of him. I feel myself above
trade, and I hate to farm. I think I
would like to be a financier, which my
taste runs to. Now, what I want to know
is, can a young man with some money
find an opening in the city of New York ?
Also, this answer . will personally
oblige, what is the nsual form of a young
lady breaking an engagement, ana can
not a man hope afterwards?
Also, how much money can a married
man run on in your city?
By an early answer you will greatly
oblige, and inclosed please and stamp.
Yours, respectfully,
Gideon Tittle.
It will give me great pleasure, Gideon,
to infuse into your young Skaneateles life
a little of the simple but earnest wisdom
which goes begging for a hearing in this
effete metropolis.
I am glad you have accumulated some
money by the death of your uncle
Pained as I am by the sad intelligence
that he is no more, although I never
heard of him until you made the above
casual mention, I rejoice that his ample
fortune has passed into your possession,
whence it will no doubt circulate more
freely.
The easiest war to accumulate money
is by the lamented demise of some opu
lent relative.
O Death, where la thy sting?
O Grave, where la thy victory?
All flesh is grass, Gideon, and let our
mutual grief over your venerable and
savin uncle James be tempered, as we
contemplate the truly Christian provis
ions of his will. Whenever a distant
relative of mine has departed this life
and left me bis heir. I nave always felt
that wicked man should not rebel un
kindly against the dispensations of
Providence. In fact, so humbly resigned
have I become I think I could stand sev
eral Urge dispensations a month and not
marmur.
Your taste running naturally to finance,
you desire an opening in this city. I do
not fear you will fiod trouble in securing
one. A wide-awake young man can find
openings all over the city, especially on
week davs. On Sundays the family en
trance around the corner is available to
an earnest seeker.
The opening usually secured by young
financiers is located in some confiding
friend's trousers. There are two such
openings, one on the right and one on
the left aide.
Railroads are the next step in finan
ciering. A good way is to get the gov
ernment to advance you several millions,
fifteen or twenty may be, with which to
hnilil vruir mad. tinder the shallow pre
text that you will afterward divide the
profits. In the lapse of many years, if
the government should impertinently in
quire where its share is coming from,
you can apply your right thumb to your
left nostril, expand the fingers, and nim
bly wave them in the air, which means
that vcmi Aa not know.
Another good way is to get control of
some young and laboring estern roaa,
bond it, hypothecate the bonds for other
securities, borrow money on these, gut
every safe you can lay your hands on,
and than make an assignment. The
assignee will find you in possession of
seventeen millions of liabilities, your
assets being two partners, a set of miss
ing books and a small yellow aog.
Kithnr rJ thorn methods may be rec
ommended to a young financier who is
fond of tobogganing and me aruees jere
of Canadian aoetetv. or who has no ob
jections to wearing roomy garments
trimmed with borisontal stripes,
in rorviv tn vnur nrKntion if a young
man with money can find an opening
in this city, I retnrn a hearty and nn
nnitr.wal m a vomiif man from bkan-
eateles, with cold cali at his command,

may be promised a warm welcome uwn
affable and disinterested citizens as soon
as he arrives, and continue to make
friends and gain valuable experience
h A rJ hi atav. Verv many young
men with money come here, ana they
must like the place, for very few young
men with money are ever known to get
away, v ' . . .
Now; Gideon, you desire to knaw what

engagement. I freely confess that I do
not know, ine lorm ot yoonn
with this swiftly veering
fashion in bustles that it is almost im

lady in breaking an engagement, I can
only say it varies. Sometimes aba an-nnntx-M

THE SOLEMN STBANGRR.
It was on a Northern Pacific train the
other day. A quartette of traveling men.
two from Chicago and two from St. Paul
started a little game of poker. Just as
one of them finished dealing the first time
he happened to notice that a man toward
the other end of the car was watching
them with a pained expression. He was
tall and very solemn-lookin jr, was dressed
in faultless black with a long-tailed coat,
a high hat, snowy white color, and wore
a fine black silk cord around his neck
connecting with his watch. Evidently
the man was a minister.
"I guess we hadnt better play while
he is on," said the dealer.
"He does look pained about it," said
another.
"I don't think there is anvthinr wrontr
in card playing." said one of the Chicago
men, "bat I never like to play when it
offends any one else. I have respect for
every man's feelings on any subject."
"We might play a simple game of eu
chre," said one of the St. Paul men.
"That wouldn't be any better," said
the other Chicago man; "he wouldn't
know the difference."
"That's so. Well, let's play a little
while and keep quiet and perhaps he
won't care much about it."
They played some time in silence, but
could not help noticing that the good man
occasionly glanced over the dark-covered
book he was reading with a sad, melan
choly expression. After awhile he laid
down his book, and they saw him com
ing toward them. They drew down their
hands, and one of them began to gather
np the cards.
"Gentlemen," said the tall man
"We, we were playing a little game of
poker, but we are going to stop."
"That is right." said a tall man as be
....... m
sat down on the arm of the seat, gathered
np the cards, ran rapidly throngh them
and secured three. "Poker is a poor
same. You see' those three cards, now I
ahufiie them up, so throw them around,
so. Now I II bet any one of you $50 that
yon can't pick np the jack of diamonds."
BELYA WITHDRAWS.
Belva Lockwood, the late presidential
candidate of the woman suffrage party,
was up to the White House the other
day. Belva is what you would call a
fine-looking woman, and, it is said.
makes a great deal of money out of her
law practice here. When asked whether
she would run against Cleveland again,
she replied with a laugh, "To quote sev
eral illustrious examples, 'I am out of
politics' just now. The woman suffrage
party will be in the field, however, you
can depend upon that, for we will never
give up the ngbt until the victory is won.
Now I think we ought to nominate the
most popular woman in the country in
1888 for president. I have been looking
over the list of candidates, and I have

Cleveland for president and we will

PHOTOGRAPHED BY LIGHTNISG.
A heavy storm passed over Fayette
township last night. While it was in
progress Amos J . liiggs, a trustworuiy
farmer, went into his hack yard to
frighten away some fighting cat. So
intent were they on exterminating one
a nether as to allow Farmer Biggs to ap
pro ich within a few feet of them. At
the same instant there was a crash, and
an electric bolt struck a wood pile, scat
tering it, and stiffened the cats in an
intense rigor mortis.
Aside from a prickly sensation and
Midden but not severe contraction of the
monies, Mr. Bigg experienced nooa
pleamnt effects. Wlien Bigs returned
to the houe his wife took one look at
him and fainted. On recoverinir he ex
claimed: "Oh, Amos, the devil has set
his mark on voa!" whereupon Biggs
looked in the glass and saw the image of
a cat photographed in silhouette upon bis
broad forehead. All efforts to wash it off
were unavailing. Hillsdale (Mich.)

Miss Gatchitt's Ghost
I
" Well, Jane," said Miss Gatchitt, "how
are the plums? They smell exceedingly
nice. Be sore there's no mistake in cov
ering 'em up. Take my cloak, Jane. I've
been very busy this afternoon. I've
bought a new house."
Jenny Hammer only said : "Have you,
indeed," as she hung op the red cloak
and went on with the plums ; for Miss
Gatchitt was very rich, and bought houses
and lands as other people buy parasols
and pocket-handkerchiefs.
"A bargain," said Miss Gatchitt; "a
stone cottage, with four acres of orna
mental land, and a view of the sea at
White Harbor. 'Grsyledge they call it."
Jenny stopped stirring here, and turned
around with the spoon suspended in mid
air. "White Harbor!" she cried. "Gray
ledge! Why, we used to live at White
Harbor; and I've peeped through the
fence palings at Grayledge many a time.
But did you know did they tell you
that the house was haunted?"
"Oh, yes, they told me all about it,"
said Miss Gatchitt, sorting her papers
over. It was on that account that I got
it at a bargain, ghost and all."
"No tenant ever stayed there very
long," said Jenny. "Two or three peo
ple died there very suddenly."
"Very likely," said Miss Gatchitt,
jumping up and seizing the spoon from
Jenny's hand. "Jane, you're spoiling
them preserves. I never saw such care
lessness in my life. People die every
where, don't they 7" she added, going
abruptly back to the subject of Gray
ledge. "Voor ghost is bad drainage
nothing more nor less. And to-morrow
yon and I are going down to Grayledge to
see what repairs are needed. I'll have
the house in the market again, thor
oughly renovated and overhauled, before
you can say Jack Robinson. You arn't
afraid of ghosts, I hope?"
"N-no," said Jenny. "Of course I
know it's all nonsense. It's a human
head without any body. It looked in at
the window after nightfall.''
"Well, let it look," said Miss Gatchitt.
"It will turn out to be nothing on earth
but mist and malaria. I'll drain the
land and fill np the ti ah pond, and you'll
see that the ghost is exorcised fast
enongb. Yon may park the trunks, Jane,
and tell old Betty that we shall be away
for a month."
"Yes," said Jenny; and then she
opened her lips a if to add something
more, but kfctt courage and closed them
again.
Jenny Plnmmer was a sort of seventh
cousin of old Miss Gatchitt. The Plum
era were a large family, without a penny
to bless themselves with, and it was con
sidered great promotion for Jenny when
Miss Gatchitt wrote for her to come and
be her companion, at a comfortable sal
ary. 'I should have liked it Jane," said the
old ladv, eyeing the new candidate criti
cally through her spectacles, "if you had
been a trifle older and not quite so goad
looking, for I don't want any followers
hanging about; no, and I won't have
thein." she added, stamping her foot.
A Eiri that comes to live with me has
got to rive up the notion of getting mar
ried. Ill have nothing in the shape of a
man about my premises. And I want
you to understand that distinctly."
This was the time that Jennie numer
should have spoken out the fact that she
was ensased to Keuben Joyce ; this was
the time that she unluckily kept silence.
"I was frizbtened at the way she
spoke," Jenny afterwards told her moth
er. "And I thought of vou and the girls,
and how much you needed the wares she
wookl pay me. But, oh, mother, Kenoen
never would have kept still in my place.
Keuben would have spoken out his mind
whatever happened."
However this raiicbt have been, Jenny
and Miss Gatchitt went down to U ray
Sedge the next day, with the secret yet
onsyllabled. It was a grim, solemn old
riar shot in bv murmurinc pines and
draped with ivy. Green mold crept over
the stone steps, and festoons of cobwebs
swans: across the haired shutters. 11
looked exactly like the popular idea of a
hannted beose.
"O hosts said Miss Gatchitt. ele ratine-
hew nose as the front door with diffi
culty opened, and a gust of sepulchral air
ewer oat. "I should think by the smell
that there might be a whole churchyard
full of 'em. Is this a bouse or a vault
that I have bought? But I'U inaugurate
ouite a different state ot things ; see u I
dent."
All the doors and windows were flong
wide onen to let in the mellow otama
sunlifht : crest fires were built apon the
widest hearths: ancient curtains were
torn ruthlessly away, and damp-emeUing
fnrnitar was irKvo mt t eavemons rr
"Why, Jano, you seem to like tlte
place?," said Mies Gatchitt, as Jenny came
dancing in with a basket of wild plums
and a handful of blue asters which she
had gathered in the weed-grown garden
outside, r
"Oh, I think it is beautiful !" cried
Jenny, with a face all aglow.
"One would think you had jast met
your oldest friend," said Miss Gatchitt.
Jenny colored scarlet.
"My oldest friend doesn't live here
abouts," said she.
"But you like it?" said Miss Gatchitt.
"Yes, I like it."
"Ghosts and all?"
"Yes; ghcets and all."
Miss Gatchitt chuckled at her own
facetiouaneaa, but Jenny looked strangely
serious.
"Don't shut a shutter to-night." said
Miss Gatchitt, when twilight fell in soft,
purple masses of shadow. "I dont want
the churchyard atmosphere back again,
and bring the lamp into the big room,
where the fire burns the brightest. Ill
look over the volume on 'Drainage' to
night. And you may go to bed early,
Jane."
"I'm not tired, indeed," pleaded Jenny.
"Go to "bed early, I say," said Miss
Gatchitt. "II ever girl needed rest, yoa
do."
"Mayn't I walk around the garden
first," said Jenny.
"No" said Miss Gatchitt.
And Jenny obeyed so reluctantly that
Miss Gatchitt half believed that her
Bur
ea.
ng protege was afraid of the Bodiless
ead.
She was wrong there, however.
Jenny bad not been asleep more than
an hour or two when she was aroused by
a voice at her bedside Miss Gatchitt s
voice.
"Jane! Jane !" cried the little old lady,
in accents of mortal terror; "get up; I've
seen it!"
"Seen what?" asked the bewildered
Jenny, silting up snd pushing the hair
out of her eyes.
"The head the head ! Looking right
in at the windows 1 Once at the side
lights, as I came across the hall where I
had been to get a glass of water the
second time at the very window close to
me."
'Are you sure it wasn't burglars?"
cried Jenny, with chattering teeth.
"Burglars, indeed 1 Do you suppose I
don't know a burglar when I see him ?"
screamed Arias Gatchitt. "Ho, no, child,
it was the Bodiless Head, sure enough.
Get up at once and dress yourself, and
come down stairs and sit with me. I
won't stay alone, and I wont go to bed
in this house until there's a man here to
protect both of us."
"But a man can't keep away ghosts,
Miss Gatchitt," stammered Jenny.
"He can break up this horrible sensa
tion of loneliness, though," retorted Miss
Gatchitt, irritably. "What a girl you
are for contradicting people, Jane ! By
the way, you say your people once lived
hereabouts. Do you know of any trust
worthy man I could get to stay about the
place 4ome one who is quite reliable?"
"Oh, yes !" cried Jenny, breathlessly ;
"There's Reuben Joyce, down at the
mills."
"I'll go and see him to-morrow," said
Miss Gatchitt. I'll pass no more nights
such as this."
Reuben Joyce appeared Quite willing to
come and accept the post of general
steward to Grayledge. And Miss Gatchitt
went back contented.
He seems a very nice young man."
said she. "I don't like the idea of break
ing through my lifelong rule, but I really
think that Mr. Joyce is to be trusted."
"Oh, dear !" oh, dear I Please don't !"
cried Jenny, wringing her hands.
"Eh T' said Misstiatcbitt.
"You have been so kind to me !" sob
bed Jenny. "And it would be so wicked
of me to deceive you 1"
"To deceive me 1" slowly repeated Miss
Gatchitt.
It wasn't the Bodiless .Head at all."
said Jenny ; "it was Reuben."
"What!" shrieked the old lady.
"Trying to ret a eUmpse at me." fal
tered Jenny. "I know it wasn't right,
but we had been separated so long ; and
we ve been engaged for two years ; and,
indeed, he didn't dream of frightening
you so terribly. Oh, please forgive us
both, and I'll go away to-morrow."
Miss Gatchitt drew a deeDsizh.and
yet at the self-same moment she smiled.
".No, said she; "no. you needn't go
away, Jane. I have got accustomed to
you, and be seems to be a very nice
young man. And since the head has got
a body belonging to it, after all, I'd rather
they should be inside the window than
outside of it. Anytliing is better than a
ghost."
"And you will forgive me 7" pleaded
Jenny, in a voice tremulous with hope.
Yes," said Miss Uatcbitt, nibbing her
nose ; "yes, Jane. After all, I suppose
human nature is stronger than any rule I
can make."
And it is probably onneceesarv to add
that the Grayledge Ghost never flattened
its supernatural countenance against the,
window-panes of the old house acain.
