For the Argus "I'M 1 F R if IB." Having been solicited by some little folk, to write a story for them, and having- promised to do so, we have availed oursclf of an incident which happened sometime ago, and worked it up into the following story of a little irl, who came near losing her life because ber young mind had been filled with nonsensical tales in the nursory, which made her so nervous and sen sitive tbat sbe would faint on tbe least alarm, end was actually afraid of her own shadow. She was always exclaiming, " I'm Al'RAffi." A little girl who bad been listening to the re lation of some foolish story about ghosts, from the lips of some foolish retailer of nonsense, who, perhaps, was a firm believer in supernatu ral appearances, (for there are still some fools in the world, j had become such a little cDward that she was afraid of her own shadow, and would r i . , ,i j , i-i - i j scream if left alone in tbe dark, or hide or bead beneath the bed clothes for fear she would see a j .1. i if ghost, or some horrible spectre from the land of . . , , , ; . . shadows, was asked to take a walk a few even- ings since. There were four of them iu compa ny two little girla and two little boys.

"NVhat's that?" said another little girl. "Lis ten !" A low rumbling sound was heard. " What is it V ' ' "The cars' the cars," said one of the bojr.' " Come to the brow of the hill,jirls, and we oan see them pass. It is a beautiful eight. They will soon come round the bend, and then we shall hear the whistle." ; M I'm afraid," said the little girl. " Afraid what are you afraid of? You little j,0Jse 1 come along." -. And the little fellow seized her by the arm, and irought her to the edge of the hill, whefre lieywouia hSve 'S full 'vie of llie'Slproach; of the train.
