Ona certain dayin the summer of 1848, while a storm of unusual violence was raging in the neighborhood of Philadelphia, I was walking on the outskirts of that city with William Marvine, a young friend of mine, whose singularities of character and conduct’some- times amused me, and sometimes caused me to feel a good deal of uneasiness and apprehen- sion on his account. Marvine was a constant student of German literature, and, as might be expected, @ man much inclined to reverie and fantastic speculations. In his religious creed he was far from orthodox; but, while he be- lieved less than the church enjoined, he ac- cepted, without seruple, many strange doc- Germany who seem to delig common sense of mankind rejects as improb- able and absurd. Marvine had applied himself to the study of law, but his erratic habits of mind unfitted him tor the sober and practical duties of that profession. Fortunately for him, his patri- mony was sufficient to maintain him without any active exertion on his part. He resided with his mother (a fine old Methodist lady) and his sister Ellen, of whom [ shall say little lest it should be suspected that she was an ob- ject of my idolatry; in fact, she has but little cvnnection with the incidents of this narra- tive. All of Marvine’s thoughts were tinctured with the sobre hues of his favorite readings, and his conduct was controlled by the same evil influences to such a degree that { began to have serious fears that the morbid condition of his mind would end ina hopeless form of insanity. Like most melancholy persons, however, he had bis seasons of joyous excitement, and while these lasted—which was generally for a very brigf period. he was a most delightful companion. On the day to which my narra- tive refers, he was unusually hilarious. The tempest appeared to have an exhiliarating ef- fect on-his spirits. He insisted on continuin, our walk, though the thunder nearly ateunad us with its reverberations, and the lightning was almost one continuous glea: We were now beyond the limits of the city; only a few buildings—chiefly manufactories of one kind or @ other_-cosht be seen; and it soon became shelter, for the rain already begzn to fall quite rapidly. was that of a saw-mill—a very gloomy edifice de of which the puffing of the steam en- gine and the harsh noise of the machinery pro- duced almost as much racket as the elemental war without. We entered and tock seats on a pile of huge logs which were soon to be sub- mitted to tae action of thesaw. At this time, Marvine was indulging himself in one of those fits of boisterous merriment which I always re- garded with painful apprehension, as they ig! assed in a steam saw Ilove the rattle of those cog-wheels. themselves seom to be dancing to the . That broken winded ste: engine, like an old asthmatio minstrel, does its best to assist the melody. By heavens! I’d work here ail day and half the night for the mere fan of the thing. The bustle of the place excites, in- toxicates me, more than the whirling, tumul- tuous delights of a ball-room.” Just then, onc of the laborers brought out a board which had been separated from the log which was then on the movable frame-work that hangs on the timbersin contact with the teeth of the caw. “ [ say, old feliow,” cried Marvine, ‘what gort of wood is that? Mahogany’ Sure enough, it is mahogany. I might have known that. What kind of cabinet work is that in- tended for, old dry bones? What is to be made of these, eh ? men, in a tone of impres- it were intended to rebuke ty of his questions. ‘-These here boards, ntended for coffins.” Avaunt.—thou bird of ill omen!’’ cried Marvine.

The very machinery seems to have caught it up,—and the stesm appara- tus, which diacoursed such pleasant music a few minutes ago, now sighs like a broken- hearted widow.” “ That board,’’ continued the laborer, with- out condescending to take any notice of Mar- a good strong box for somebody. The grain knot in one end of it.”’ At this moment, Marvine grasped my arm forcibly, like amanin convulsions. His face had bee deadly pale, and his whole frame was excessively agitated. With a quivering finger, he poiated to the knot in the board, to which the laborer had called our attention. It of the letter M.

His mother and sister,who were well acquaint- ed with his infirmities, had entreated me to keep a watch on hisconduct. This proved to be avery troublesome duty, but friendship and humanity called for erformance, and I did notsbrink from the task. Having committed Marvine to the care of his family, I left him for awhile, hoping that the soothing attentions of the ladies would dissipate the *‘thick-coming fancies” which tormented him. But within &n hour after I separated from him, I received a —_ from his sister,with the information that as dangerously ill. be likely to remove the cause of Marvine order. In short. I resolved to get possession of the board, an destroy itor have it used for some pu: which would effectually counteract Marvine’s fear that it would become his coffin. As quickly as possible, therefore, I returned te the saw mill, and sought an interview with the proprietor. He wasa gentlemanlike and humane man, and I deemed it advisable to strange illusion, and the affliction which it had brought on his relatives, hoping that this con- fidential statement would induce Mr. E!khora, the owner of the mill, to co-operate with me in plan I had formed to rid Marvine of his distressing phantasy. In this expectation I was not disappointed. Mr. Eikhorn cordially approved my endeavors, and promised to give thoes all the assistance in his power. The fa- tal board was pointed out to him, and he or- dered one of bis people to lay it by in a secure place ustil it should be sent for. I now returned to Marv: awakened in a more tra: was able to hold oo cheerfal ional I ladies withdrew, Marvine began to speak of rr iw board pb a — _ —s and self-possession, its on that subject had lost peas of their extrave- gare man author, that any object which is connected with our destiny always commands our earnest attention at first sight. He declared that the mahogany board had produced a thrilling sen- sation through his whole apes system as soon as it was brought within his view. before the workmen had mentioned the purpose for which it was intended, and before he ob- served the knot which bere such a striking re- semblance to the initial of his own name. trines taught by those aa eee writers of t in whatever the have the power to give him a practical demon- stration of his mistake, [ refrained from all verbal argument on the subject. When I took leave of x cabinet-maker and engaged him to make a dressing case of a piece of mahogany. which I promised to send to him en the following morning. This dressing case I intended to present to Marvine, presuming, that when he saw the terrific board reducod to that harmless form, it would cease to be the object of his melancholy forebodings. I had engaged to carry the board, I repaired once more to to the saw mill, intending to take possession of my purchase. But on examinin the place where it had been deposited, we foun: that it had been removed, although Mr. Elk- horn, in my presence, had given strict orders to the contrary. He was ini nt, and in- deed quite angry at their act of disobedience, and applied himself immediately to discover who had committed it. His son, who was also a junior partner in the business, proved to be the offender. He had not hea: directions concerning the bo: received an order for a large amount of ma- hogany timber, on the preceding day, he had caused the whole building to be ransacked, and every board in the Pe was required to meet manifest that we should need some kind of the demand.

Hesolving not to be balked even by the Parce themselves, I examined the pile and found. last, the very coffin which contained the ominous knot. made the mark more distinct, and it now ap- peared as perfect an M as ever was formed 4 the pencil. I bought the coffin, against whic! I now harbored the most unreasonable ill-will, and resolved to burn it without delay. I di rected it to be sent to my lodgings immediatel and went home to await its arrival. Two of the cabinet maker's people soon came with their load.

But before I reached that place, I en- countered a messenger from Mrs Marvine, who implored me to come immediately to her house. Tcould not evade their summons, and on my arrival, I found that Marviue bad relapsed and was now in a dying condition. He was iasensi ble, and expired within ten minutes after I en- tered the house. vine’s singularities, ‘that board, sir, will make is crooked, too, and there’s a queer-looking tended the funeral. The body had been placed in its coffin before I entered the chamber of death. Even at that time, my repugnance for the fatalistic doctrines which my departed friend had entertained, made me hope that the coffin which [ then saw in the dimly lighted room was not the one which had been composed of the curionsly marked board; but alas’ that hope soon deserted me. On the side of the coffin which was nearest to the shaded window, the mark of ill omen appeared with fearful distinctness. I glanced at the countenance of As the rain bad now abated, I hurried him out of the building.

We sup- press the real names of the sufferers, at their earnest request. On the aft mn of the day named, Mrs. A. received a visit from two of her neighbors, Mrs. B. and Mrs.C. Each of these ladies was the happy mother of a little daughter, about six months old. They brought their infants with them, and at tea time, all three of the children having fallen asleep, placed them on the bed in Mrs. A.’s chamber, and went te supper. Now, in the family of Mrs. A. are two young gentlemen boarders, who have more desire for sport and mischief than good sense. Coming home to supper these seapegraces chanced to pass the door of Mr: A.’s room, which was opened, and saw t! three babies lying asleep. Actuated by the very spirit of mischief, they set to work and actually ehanged the clothing of the three in- nocents, placing the clothes of Mrs. A.’s baby upon Mrs. B.’s baby, those of Mrs. B. baby upon Mrs, C.’s baby, and those of Mrs. C.’s baby upon Mrs. A.’s baby. This done they went to supper, and entertained the ladies with their witty conversation until the hour for a eye arrived. It was then quite dark, and the ladies each picked up the babe she supposed to be her own, and left for home. The mistake was actually not discovered until next morning—and then there was a scene of terrible consternation. The mothers were almost frantic. The babies all had light hair and blue x ane et — soy that to distingui jem was almost impossible. At length each mother took the child she thought was hers, and went home, but took with her also the terrible doubt that perhaps she had t the w baby.
