A GENUINE GHOST STORY.

Whilst I was residing at Mauhnain I saw a ghost with my own eyes in broad daylight, of which I can make ■an affidavit. I had an old schoolfellow, who was afterwards a e-llege fiiend, with, whom I had lived in the closest intimacy. Years, however, had passed away without-our seeing each other. One morning I had just got out of bed, and . was dressing myself, when suddenly my old friend entered the room. I greeted him'warmly, told him to call' for a cup of tea in the verandah, and promised to be with him immediately. I dressed myself in all haste, and went put into the verandah, but found no ■one there. I could nrt believe my eyes. I called to the sentry, who was posted at the front of the house, but he had seen no strange gentleman that morning. The servants also declared that no such person had entered the house. I was certain I had seen my friend. I, was not thinking about him at the time ; yet I was not taken by surprise, as steamers and other vessels were frequently arriving at Mauhnain. A fortnight afterwards news ai rived that he had died, 600 miles off, about the very time I saw him at Manlmain. It is useless to comment upon this story. To this day I have never doubted that I really saw the ghost of my deceased friend.—” Burmali, Past and present.”
