Remorseful Ghost.
A pathetic story Is told of the ghost
of Blshnrn abbey. It Is said that the
wife of Sir Thomas Hobby was un
naturally severe with her. son. who. ft
seems, had a peculiar aversion to writ
ing. and In his obstinacy would wilful
ly blot his copybooks. One day his
mother, enraged al his perverseness
lost her self-control and beat the poor
boy so unmercifully that he died from
hfs Injuries.
Since then one of the
bedrooms in the abbey has been haunt
ed by the specter of the cruel woman
who glides through the chamber In th»
act of wnsliing the bloodstains from
her hands.
It Is stated that some years ago,
when an old window shutter of the six
teenth century was remover!, “a packet
of antique copybooks of that period
was discovered pushed Into the wall
between the Joists of the skirting, ami
several of these books, on which young
Hobby’s name was written, were cov
ered with blots.”

TWO IDEAS OF CIVIL LIBERTY
There was this radical difference be
tween the governments of Greece and
Rome and those of the Gothic tribe«.
In the former the state was every
thing. the Individual nothing; the
stale was thought to have a perfect
right to the property, liberty, and
evefi life, of Its citizens. In the lat
ter the individual was everything and
the state comparatively nothing; all
rights were thought to exist, to Inhere
hy nature In the Individual; and the
state could demand nothing from him
for public us<* without giving him an
equivalent. Here we find the funds
mental principle of civil liberty; that
principle which has been so carefully
guarded In the English and In all the
Anglo-Atnei^-nn
constitutions, and
which was so happily and tersely ex
pressed by Jefferson In the Declaration
of Independence. Our rude Saxon an
cestors, though under a kingly govern
ment. had more real liberty, and a
more Just appreciation of the true dig
nlty of man, than had the polished cit
izens of the republics of the Mediter
ranean. The legislative authority was
