were evil spirits who had tern- sion porarily escaped from a fiery inferno in order perhaps to slay and carry of their human prey Especially were these ignis prevalent in churchyards in marshy districts and the fright and awe in spired by one of these ghostly appa ritions hovering about the tombs can readily be imagined On a still dark night a timid youth perhaps has oc casion to pass through the church yard on his way home Tremulously he enters the in direst ap prehension lest a disembodied spirit should spring up from the nether re gions and bear him away in its cold grip

friends life At the time of the Milleiite delu- in 1843 when many people be lieved that the end of the world would come on a certain day in April and many others who did not really be lieve were yet moved to superstitious uneasiness by fervor of the Miller- there were a number of eager watchers for the appointed day in an old New England town It was a late spring and there was a light fall of snow on the ground On the night before the dreadful date there flamed in the sky a magnificent crimson aurora and the red light in the heavens with its red reflection on the snow terrified many nervous per sons to the verge of distraction they thought it signified the beginning of universal destruction One woman who lived alone with the back of her house close to a cem etery waked near midnight and was overcome with horror Without stop ping to dress she ran out ol her house and along close beside the bury ing ground boundary toward the house of her next neighbor Her bore feet slipped in the snow and once she fell but rose immediately and ran on Her neighbors also were awake the wife lying quaking in bed the band at the window He looked out just as the frantic figure in white sprang up from her fall the drifted snow emerging as it appeared from the graveyard and bathed In a blood- red light Turning his head he shouted back hastily into the dark chamber Its true wife the end of the world has come The dead are ris ing from their graves Ive just seen the first one The supposed corpse however pres ently took refuge in house and when morning dawned and the world still existed the trio were no doubt reassured Boys brought up in a town and some boys brought up in the country are not taught the duty early ris ing To be able to get up early Is worth a good deal to a man both in money and pleasure parents should see that their boys are able to get all that is coming to them out of 1 NT HIGHGRADE PORTLAND fa The First Rock Cement made In Canada For Sale by 1 Phone
