BY A DENTIST. It is no use to ask me for a ghoat story; for, though I have stayed in nearly every town in England of any size, I have met with none Railways have pat haunted chambers out of fashion. Fancy a ghost being hold enough to venture into one of our vast Hotels ! There is gle white-robed customer that would impudence to doit. Ghosts lived in the old coaching @ays, and dwelt in the quaint wayside inns; aud [ never was lucky enough to have my bed-curtains disturbed by iavisi- ble hands ; but I am not ashamed to own that I once got a terrible fright. In my early days, I—like many of my pro- feesion—traveled from place to place, just re- maining in each long enough to pocket ‘all the spare cash the inhabitants were willing to expend on dental ornaments. Sometimes I made a large town the centre of my operatiors, and remained in it for months, visiting the les- ser ones in the neighborhood on stated days. It waa in one of our largest manufacturin; towns in the west of England that I met with the adventure I am Boing to give you. iy seemed plausible meoeas, and but for the ee- The younger, bitterly cursing him for a quel, would have pi oft very well.

On being informed of my visitor and her tale, he expressed a wish to see her, and at once re cognised her as the daughter of elder, and sis- ter to the younger, man he had dismissed. Instead of liberating the woman, as we thought of doing, we now deemed it prudent to give ber into custody. No one present at her examination entertained the slightest-doubt that. during the short time che was in Mrs. Wingate's house, after I became an inmate of it, she had remarked the materials I used, and that a regular plan had been organized to rob, and, perhaps, murder me. The other servant also deposed, on oath, that her hiding in my room was needlees, as she had abundant time to leave the house unperceived, had she chosen; and that the visit to her was paid against her wiil—she having no desire to continue any acquaintance with a person more than euspected of dishonesty. Still, we could charge her with nothing but the concealment. and after being cautioned against placing her- self again in such a situation, she was dis- charged. The story was much talked about, and I got well quizzed by many ladies of my acquaint- ance; but, after all, the thing might have proved nojoketome. I remained some months longer in the place, and before I left it heard many accounts of threats which the woman’s male relatives bad uttered against me, for cast- ing suspicion on innocent (?) people. I had probably injured their business; for, I fancy, after what had occurred, few parties would have been willing to employ my nocturnal visitor in their house. ‘bree years elapsed from the date of my ad- “venture, and I had almost forgotten it, when business again called me to the same town. At first Lonly thought of remaining a few days; but finding I should be detained longer, I sought out my former landlady, as—that one night excepted—I had been particularly com- fortable under her roof. Finding my old apart- ments vacant, I gladly took possession of them a second time. During my former stay, I made many agree- able acquaintances, and now—it being near Christmas—I received m{iny invitations to sup- per parties, etc.. which I fancy were not the less numerous because L was still a bachelor. On Christmas-eve I accepted one, to spend it with a friend at his father’s house, where there was a very large and charming family of sons and daughters. The father was a fine, jovial old fellow, and the mother just the cheerful. but even-tempered, gentle soul, who alone could % up such girlsashers. Wehad a gloriousevening. All sorts of glorions Christn All their motions had been so noiselessly performed, and the conversation carried on in a tone so wonderfully clear, though low, that I was astonished at the fection they had at- tained in their horrid craft. During the fa- ther’s absence the son was not idle. fie actu: ally loosed the collar of my shirt, and then stood quietly awaiting the other’s return You could never imagine, unless placed in similar circumstances, what multitude of thoughts passed through my mind in afew brief minutes. Christmae, with its accompaniments of fun and feasting at which I had assisted since I was the height of the table, was reviewed in turn. Then I thought of the morrow, and the fair girls [had left. and how, an hour before, I was full of hope that, ere another Christmas came round, I should call one my own. Still I found time for earnest prayer, and to think of all sorts of expedients to escape my impend- ing fate. Once I fancied, now there was only one to contend with. I might do something: but just then the touch of the muscular hand on my throat reminded me that a movement would cause my instant destruction. Indeed, I have often wondered that the fellow did not strangle me in his peeeeoee. How bitterly did I re- proach myself for not raising an alarm when the footsteps first became audible. At length, the fellow fairly gnashed his teeth with rage, and uttering a smothered ex- I had been uncommonly suacessful, and had made a long stay in the place on that account —indeed, | had spent some months there when it bea aspra I had excellent lodgings, and oceupted three apartments a sitting-room, and sort of reception-room for patients, on the ground floor, and a first floor bedroom, all tacing the street. I always worked in the last named apartment, and had the necessary tools and materials on a little bench near the win- dow. Here I generally took my station, and spent the time, from six or seven in the even- ing till midnight, as I was then less liable to interruption My apartments were all furnished with gas- burners, and before winter set in, I added a gas-stove to my bedroom, that mf working there might cause no necdless trouble or ex- pense to my landlady. One evening, being very busy. I sat later than usual, and when at length my task was done, [ drew my chair close fo the stove, and sat half an hour reading be- fore extinguishing my light. You are aware that we made use of gold plates and wirc. in fastening artificial teeth ; and. in consequence of my numerous orders, I had been particular ly well supplied with the precious metal in this form, ever since I came tothe town. More- over, I was by — deficient in those that wine again!" he also left the apartment to recall truant parent, and fetch the im- plement of murder. Now was my time, and you may believe I lost none. The instant he left the room, I was on my feet; noiselessly I-approached the door, dashed it to, turned the key, shot the bolt, lighted the gas, and once more I stood, my heart ready to leapinto my throat with joy and and thankfulness, with my trusty pistols in my band. These was nochance of their re-entering, for their skeleton keys lay on my table, and every article of plunder was there also; for, intending to return, they had not conveyed it from the room. I made noise enough from the window; my hostess and her damsel, now aroused, joined in the chorus, and soon, at the head of a hoat of alarmed neighbors, and a couple of policemen, we searched the house from top to bottom. One of the nen I knew hai! left the premises, as 1 heard him dash open the area ra down the street; bunt the elder ruffian we dis- eovered, stupidly drunk, in the cellar, the dan- r of his position not having sufficed to prevent is indulging his favorite propensity, whep temptation was ao strong.

But I was careful to ex- amine the fastenings of my door; and thisduty done, I extinguished the fire and light and got into bed. I fell asleep instantly, and had a somewhat ludicrous dream.
