A song of great roprd for you;
The moon is getting rather high—-
And Love, use too.

Where frogs make much hallaballoo;
I think they sing a trifle hoarse,
And Love, me too.
The bloom on the pumpkin vine
Are weeping diamond cars of dew;

All motloulus the cedars stand,
With silent moonbmms slanting through,
The very hour is drowsy, Love,
And I am too.

And at your window gently wool
But then your lattices you would bolt, -

And now I've done my serenade,

great pendulum I soon sttained sterriblc
velocity, being frequently thrown higher
than any portion of the wreck,and was
several times thrown entirely out of the
basket.
Like Micawber, I “confidently expected
something to turn up"——in fact there was
great danger of the basket “ turning up” on
top of the canvas, which would result in
instant death. “ By a strict attention to
business” these mad lunges were modified,
and the velocity was more uniform, though
still very rapid.
I now decided to throw out a portion or
all of the ballast and lifted shag to thr-
edge of the basket for that purpose, when
dangerous to keep it in the basket. I threw
out a letter and by watching it. as it fluttered
in the air, was enabled to tell with consid-

time would prolong the voyage to the woods
beyond, even if it did not cause the basket
and contents to be thrown on top of the
wreck. Taking this view, it was decided to

A Ghost Story.
Lord Brougham tells the following ghost
story on his father:
“ On all shell subjects my father was very
skeptics]. He was fond of telling astory in
which be had beenan actor, and, as he used
to say. in which his nnbelieving obstinscy
had been the means of demolishing what
would have made a very pretty ghost story.
He had been dining in Dean's Yard, West-
lfrs. Nightingale, who had remutly died
under some melancholy circumstaneu, and
few “incidentals” was all that needed at- m

stuck to his story in spite of all the scaling
of his friends; and the ghostof Mrs. Night-
ingalewould have been all over the town
but for my father’s obstinate inacdullty.
Nothing would satisfy him but an ooculsr
inspection of the grave and coffin; andso
getting a light, he' and some of the party re—
turned to the grave. There,sure enough,
