The laat version tate l-eeh worth one-twentieth as much reads as follows: Tbe following remarkable Incident in the life of tbe late Samuel Wilberforce, bishop of Oxford and afterward of Winchester, is related as absolutely au­ thentic, and tbe good bishop himself Is said to hsve many times rehearsed tbe story to his friends: On a certain occasion the worthy bishop bad accepted an Invitation to stay at a country house not far from London. Entering the drawing room prevloua to dinner on tbe evening of his arrival, be noticed a clergyman sit­ ting by tbe open tire and taking no part In the general conversation. The bishop was somewhat surprised at not being presented to tbe clergyman, and I his astonishment was great when a I few moments later, dinner being an nounced. tbe guests retired, leaving the clergyman at his place by tbe fire. The hostess having assigned Bishop Wil­ berforce the seat of honor at her right hand, as soon as an opportunity offer ed he remarked: "1 beg your pardon, madam, but may I inquire who was tbe clergyman we left sitting in tbe drawing room?" "Ah. you have seen him, then?" re­ plied the lady. “It Is not every one who has that privilege. I cannot tell you who he is or whence he comes I For many years this specter has haunt­ I ed the bouse and grounds. It has. In fact, been a tradition In tbe family. He seems to do no harm. and. although he appears only occasionally, we have be come quite accustomed to ottr friendly ghost" I "How very singular!" remarked bis lordship. “But have you never ad­ dressed your specter?” •^Indeed. I have had no opportunity, nor tbe desire, for that matter." re sponded the hostess, growlug pale. "May I take the liberty now?" in­ quired tbe dignitary. "With all my heart, your lordship,” replied the lady. The bishop arose and. returning to the drawing room, . found tbe clergyman where he had left him a few minutes before. Hav­ ing no fear, tbe bishop said kindly: "Who are you. my friend, and why •re you here?” The specter seemed to sigh deeply ■ nd say as though to Itself. "At last!” Then In a hollow voice, addressing the bishop. It continued: “I am the spirit of a clergyman who left this world some eighty years ago. and I am here to Impart to nny one who will receive It a secret which died with me. I could not rest In my grave while a great wrong was being done which it was In my power to right. 1 have lieen returning all these years In tbe hope some one would address me. for It was not given to me to be the first to speak, All men have shunned me until now. and It Is your mission to do my bidding I was called to this bouse eighty years ago to receive a confession from a dying man. He waa the sole possessor of a secret the knowledge of which would alter ma terially the entail of this vast estate, and In bls death be wished to repair tbe terrible wrong upon bls kin. “At bls request I wrote down tbe confession word for word as he gave It to me, and when he finished be ex­ pired In my arms. It was very impor­ tant that I should return to London that night, and In passing through tbe library to leave the house I concluded It would be safer not to carry the pa­ per on which waa written tbe confes •Ion away wltb me. but to place It In some secure, unseen spot, where I could obtain ft the following day and deliver the document to the person for whom It was Intended.
