Five le Ceejieb ! open us your packs,

A Case fox "Spookical Research."—A "Spook" maybe "the
ghost of an idea." It cannot he the embodiment of an idea. An idea
is impalpable, therefore a " Spook." Does "to entertain an idea,"
convey the notion of giving supper to a ghost ? The best and most

original " Spook " story, we've come across for some time, is the one
told by Messrs. W. H. Pollock and Bbandeb Matthews in Long -
man's Magazine, for this month, called Playing with Edged Tools.
It will well repay any Spookical Researcher.
