Three years before I had spent a week at For- rest Hall; and when I brought my stay to an abrupt conclusion, Thad all but registered a mental vow that I would never repeat the ex- periment of a visit again. Yet Mr. Forrester, my host, had been courteous, even cordial; his Wife showed herself as agreeable ag a foreigner, who spoke English but imperfectly, could be; and there was ‘no other visible inmate of the house to give umbrage ordisturbance. Tne ad- Jeetive may seem expressive; but if it 1s taken fo Imply that I suffered annoyance from noc- turna! Visitants of a spiritual cast, 1t say3 toa Sojourn at the hall was rendered Irritable and almost unendurable. But I need not pause upon a matter which will naturally unfold itself later. It was on the eve of Carist day that I drove beneath the Ived portal which gave en- trance to the romantic old place that I had once looked upon as my own. It had belonged a few years ago to my uncle, Mr. Geoffrey For- rester. He had never married; I was his favor- ite nephew; and though the son of his youngest brother, 1t had been an assumed, almost s-t- ted thing. that I, George Forrester, was to be his heir. “The disappointment tn these expe. tations came to me before that ominous and momentous day when the will was opened. Some months before my uncle's decease I di. ‘ined that his intentions respe:ting the dis- posal of his property had varied, and that for fauit of mine, but through sudden favor shown to another, changes were made, which were to strangely on my The gon of his eldest brother came back from a long residence fa Italy, with an only and very lovely young daughter. They were naturally invited to For- rest Hall; and before the visit ended I knew and nephew was dissipated by the friendly intercourse of the present, and more.espectaliy and entirely by the fascination exercised over the old gentleman by the Ne Se god beauty of Lucia Forrester. Her mother Was an Italian, and was still in her own coun- try, while the father and daughter paid this ‘Visit of | aoe 4 to the fast-failing owner of For- rest Hall. They remained with him to the last, and it was found then that, with the exception of a small bequest to myself, the whole of my uncle’s property Was willed to his elder —_ nephew, in reversion to his only chiid Lucia. {had met the latter. had spent a fortnight in the house with her, and had admitted that her power of attraction was deep and incontestable. I thought of her now as I was borne swiftly along the drive. and came Presently tn view of tne old Elizabethan mansion, which was her home, Though the weather was blea’:, with a plercing wind blowing on the open road without the de- mesne, he s+ there was comparative sielter. My Unele Geoffrey had carried out one of his fancies to a successful issue, and had sur- rounded himself with the green and shade of summer when there was winter elsewhere. The whole ground were planted thickly with ever- ‘ns which flourished almost like trees,so care- ‘ully had their growth and luxuriance been pro- moted: and now, at this Christmas season, Outer decorations as well as inner might have been specially got up, judging from the glossy holly branches, ivy wreaths and laurel boughs Which filled the view on all sides. It was evening; the house was brilliantly lighted up; and as the hal'-door was thrown open, the warm glow within was all the pleasanter In contrast to the frosty air and fitting moonshine which held the world in a cold spell without. Something else was more inspiriting than all. It was a sight which met my eyes in the first moment of enteriag. A Soung lady was crossing the hall, and turning, just in the doorway leading to & room oppo- site, she gave me a smilie of welcome. She Was beantifully dressed in silk of a creamy shade, with some drapertes of rich violet vel- yet, relleving an otherwise colorless picture; forthe tint of her skin and hair harmonized ‘with that of her dress, and was scarcely deeper intone. But there was nothing insipid ina face which beamed with expression, which had ewitchingly lovely features, and a pair of dark blue eyes, set lke stars beneath the dell- cate penciling of her brows, “Lucia!” { exclaimed, and sprang forward eagerly. “Have we met at last?" “Have you. come at last?” she retor‘ed ichly. “Three Invitatlans and three refusals for yours. “ An invitation to a place {s nothing—the people are everything,” 1 said. “When I was last here you absented yourself strangely.

Atter a while the young lady grew Ured eithar ofthe exercise or the escort, ‘and was dick again with me. I am afraid I had been con- U pati rashness with too favorable an eye, for I was led away by {t unwarrantably now. I began to question Lucta respeciing her strange disappearance from the scane on tha occasion of my last visit. Breaking tha ice is hazardous work, and I certainly ought not to have attempted It here. I endangered myself, ifnot another. Lucia rarely tlushed. Shade, rather than color, passed into her face from the effect of emotion or annoyance. A change ot the kind was noticeable as { spoke, and I fried | hastily to recover my former looting. But my companion would not let_me quite escape the consequences of my temerity. “You seem to have a good memory,” she re- marked. * But I am afraidit {3 only for trifios, ‘These you shouid forget, and not even remem— | ber that you are forgetting.” “We are apt to estimate matters differently, “It might be little to you to keep in'a Seclusion you had cause to prefer; but your absence was not exactly a trifis to another.” “I know it was not 0; but what it should have been is my point of view. Try to look at =e in a pleasant light. It makes lite easter.” “An effort 1m that Ine need not be recom- mended now,” was my response. “There are us to subdue a too seductive Illusion ” “You had better turn to the mafniand then, and away from this slippery surfaze, if this should be one of thoss tnstants;” ani with the words she was skimming off from me ane x. I saw her rejoin Lerrington, but could scar sely feel jealousy. it was so evident that his soclety Was as indifferent to her asmyown. But the fact that she was untmpressionible was not reassuring. taken in conjunction with her too strong power of fascination. 1 would rather she had shown susceptibility to almost. any emotion than have perplexed me by her unrufled loveliness, I. Was I dreaming or waking? My senses, no doubt, were Inwrapt by the stillness of a frost- bound midnight; but surely they were too Watchful and observant to ba enchalned Ike- wise by the more potent spell of sleep! Witn eyes wide o| I started upright on my couch. The room I been allotted on my arrival at Forrest Hall was one hitherto unoccupied by me. But I could scarcely take excep‘ion to ity comfort or position in the establishment, con- sidering that {t was the one chosen by the late master of the house, and which was known as +Unele Geoffrey’s room.” The bad, an old fash— joned one, faced a large mirror reaching from floor to celling and set into the wall. Oo the right-hand side of the ‘four-poster” there wa3 a. door opening {nto a dressing-closet. ‘This was always left unclosed at night; in the summer to Sie fuller ventilation to the sleeping-apart- taent, which was low and somewhat gloomy, and in the winter time to admit the subdued light and warmth from a fire that was kindled Mawide grate In the dressing-room. Such had been the habit of my uncle's life, and 1 made no change tn the arrangements, Loo! Dow into the mirror I saw a form reflected at fulllength. It was moving slowly across the floor ia the inner closet and advancing toward the mantelpiece. There was a brignt blaze from a wi fire, and the glass, being opposite to the door and’ my b.d, save’ back the clear rarticulars of the scene. '[¢ was a strange one; and some ghostly stories, which had been re. counted for the benefit of the company by my cousin Lucta that night. came vividly to my mind. The figure I was gazing at was that of my uncle Geoffrey. Clothed in a well-remem- bered dressing-gown of India pattern and gor- peone coloring, [saw his spare frame and his ent head Just as i had last seen them tn life. When he had gained the chimney corner he stretched out his hand toward a huge snuif-pox. oe No peaiize-aliel which lay on the marble ledge ve above. At this moment I bounded from my couch.

On the occasion of that former Christmas visit my cousin Lucia had not once shown herself. I was told she was tl!, and I haa felt bound to believe the statement till it was strangely negatived by a sight which rendered me at once perplexed and indignant. I had started one day for a ride when something went wrong with tbe equtpment of my steed, and I was obliged to return unexpectedly to the house. I was walking ae the avenue of the hall, leading the horse by the bridle, when, in a pathway among the evergreens, I caight a glimpse of a well-remembered’ gure. Tne } fall, Siight proportions, the girlish step, and the paie amber of the hatr, whitch was rolled low upon the neck and rested on the glossy darkness of a sealskin jacket, were sufficient in themselves to identify the lady; but any doabt or bewilderment on the subject was at ouce dissipated by a full view of the face Miss Forrester had evidently beird the sound of advancing steps on the drive. for she turned suddep'y. “A rosy flush mounted to her brow at the moment; but before word or ges- ture could express questioning surprise on my Part she was gone. Hurrying onward I left the horse tn the care of,a groom and went at once to the house. My quick inquiry for Misa Forrester was met by the repiy that the young lady was still very unwell was confined to her roem. and could see no one. Half an hour later I had left Forrest Hall, anger having pre- dominated over the feeling of mystification which might have led me to prolong my stay in the hope of dissipating tt by penetration or investigation. I felt that my cousin, who was the heiress now, was determined to arrest aay inelpient attentions of the former heir by showing bim, in the moat po'ted manner, her disinclination even to tolerate his presence. It Was galling enough to bave to return as an impoverished guest to a place where I had once hoped to dispense hospitality, on my part, without incurring the additional humiliation of being subject to an unjust suspicion. 1 could see nothing else in the strange with- drawal of my cousin Lucla from my society. She plainly thought I might become too au- @acious as a suitor, and was determined that the muheritance 1 had lost should not be re- gained through her. This was the view of her conduct which I took at the time, and which hettled me so much that when an tnvitation came each succeeding Christmas to gpend tt St Forrest Hall I refused until the mL OC- n. A little silvery laugh and a sweet bewitch- ing glance dissipated everything but a’ sense of eutrancement now. They had been the only reply to my {uquiry, but they were sufictent to arrest the questionings of the past in view of & less- perplexing future. Iwas soon in the drawing-room to which Lucia led the way; amid the excitement of Christmas festivities I was greeted cordially by Mrs. Forrester and my cousin Geoffrey. My hostess was a tall thin lady, se: for- eign-looking in appearance, as her coi xion Fetained in @ faded form the traces of a tatr- ness almost as dazzling her daughter's.

In a second I ciosed It noiselessly, turned the key in the lock and was back again in my former quarters. As Ire-entered I paused, aud a creeping sensa- tion of unknown dread paralyzed furcher movement, The mirror was fuil before me, and in it the same reflection, the bowed, mournful figure of my uncle Geoffrey. He Was at tne mantelpiece now, was stooping over it with his back turned toward a8; and one hand stretched out tn the act of grasping had been its be his ancient snuff-tox.

This Knowledge held me enchatned a moment longer. Then the form, whether spirit or mat- ter, began to gilde off, and I felt that the crisis had come. I must follow it at all hazards, With @ quick bound I wason the threshold of the cabinet; but an actual cry parted my lip3 atthe instant. The room was empty! All remained as I had left it ere [retired to rest. The lamp was burning brightly; the wood-fire was che-r- ful, and ruddy in its gleam as ever. Nothing {ghostly or ghastly Unrew a lurid coloring on the quiet aspect of the scene. More be- wiidered, more awe stricken than if I had b2- held the phantom which had been such a vivid revelation, I could only stand and gaza. Theo 1 approached the chimney corner. The tortoise shell box was on the high marble ledge above; j Dut it was shut. Itseemed hard to believe that & pallid hand had but recently been laid on os ad opened It, reclosed It. Yet all this I hi seen. It was RO trick of the imagination. I bad been wakeful, expectant.

Tne interstice within | Was hot filled with the usual contents, A small | folded paper had taken their place. To with- | draw It, to read it, was the work of asecond. I ; Was not dreaming before; but surely, I sald to myself, there must be something of illusion now. The writing 1 had perused was that of my uccle Geoffrey. It was clear and uumistaxa- ble. The well remembered characiers had a forcible pecullarity of their own, which I, for | one, was uot likely to forget. AS 1 gazed upon them I had present to me, in a new vision, his aged form, his withered hand. ut the sub- stance of the paper was dreamlike in the ex- treme, and made me pass my hand more than once across my eyes to Clear off any filmy vetl of drowsiness: Here, in a few words, a be- quest was made to me. Halt the Forrest Ha’l | pores. ‘was mine without reserve or condition; | but an express wish followed on the bequest— that I should become the husband of my cousin Lucia Forrester. The document seemed to be a | codicil tomy uncie’s will, and I noted at once ; that the date was a later one than that of the testament which had been produced and | proved at his death. | ., When sleep came to me that night I had still the paperin my hand. I knew through dis- | turbed slumbers that I had never let 160, yet | if on awakening I had falled to grasp it or per- ceive a I could have felt lttle surprise. ‘fhe mode Of {ts discovery, the nature of its contents | scarcely pointed to the scenes of real life. They | were more In harmony with the visions which | are fleeting. But there was substance and no | shadow here. ‘The precious paper was close in | My Clasp, and at its touch a thrillof delightful hope ran through me. I was no longer an im- | poverished man, a fortune.seeking suitor. How- | ver clear I might stand in my own sight of the latter reproach, I had needed hitherto the | boldness which could defy the criticisms of | othera. I had it now, ad no further delay should interpose between suspense anda pos- sible neni | When I saw Lucta in the breakfast-room that snorning she was more bewitching, more beau- Uful, than ever.

I to myself that my uncle must have Spcaed vo me to make known his will as well as his wishes; and if this were go I was clearly called upon to carry out the latter. Wor reasons of toy own I mentioned this second vision in the presence of my cousin Geoffrey and his wife, a8 wellas that of the other members of the party. I gave no detalls, but spoke of the Vividness of the apparition. Again Mrs. For- rester showed a tremor of apprehension, and a deadly pallor in her face, Geoffrey si too, and then I glanced anxtously towards Lucia She was smiling, and maintained through all doy assertions and remarks a gay incredulity. My resolves were taken forthwith. I felt ner to be | Spetaed of any participation in a possible conspiracy to suppress the proofs of my claim to a portion of the property; and an hour or two later 1 had asked her to be my wife. She had been pleasant, if a little coquettish, with me all the morning, and on the other hand had treated Lerrington with a Frovering: nonchalance perceptior | Which quickened his ns to recall | £0me important engagement in town.

The narration took my fair confessor back to the date of my first visit to Forrest Hall, after her father had become master of it. Oa the eve of my arrival, in making some arrangements in her room, she chanced to come across an ornamental album, which our uncle had placed ip her hands on the very day of Mis death. He had murmured something about a ‘special gift to her, and that he had remembered ber wishes, She thought he was only wan- dering at the time, and, being only occupied with watchful attendance on him, she had put it away and not thought of it since. She opened the book now casually, and in doling £0 a paper fell from between the leaves—ths very one which came finally into my posses sion.

Still she would give no detluite assurance as to her suppression of the paper: and she found then that her course of oppo sition to both parents was resented in an unex Pected manner. She was kept a prisoner to her | room during my stay; and it was only on one cecasion, when I was supp2sed to be absent for the day, that she was allowed exercise in the grounds. She was on the point of returning to the house when I caught. a glimpse of her there, and feeling that she could not well enter into explanations with me in a hurried moment, she had fled in contusion, “And later?” I said. “How was it you were able to welcome me at my next visit?” “I promised,” she returned, “that I would not sive you the paper—and I did not do so.” “Who did, then?” “No one. You found tt yourself.” “Then [am still to believe in ghostly inter- Yention? IT may not assume you ‘a spirit, yet a Woman too?’ “As you please,” she murmured, and then, quick and ight as the words fell from her, she glided off from the mirror-room in which we Were standing, and disappeared within the dressing-room. I followed her, to find her gon and while I gazed around me, in something of the old bewilderment; she was back with ma again, having entered by the outer door from the corridor. “What Is the secret?” I said. “If you want the rooms to be opencd up, you must throw light on them to begin with.” “I am afraid there is not much penetration 1n your nature,” waa the reply. “You would make neither an inventor nor explorer. I at Out things for myself. You should be as clever.” “I am not as inquisitive, I know.” “I know it, ar all events,” she broke in gally. “It you had only examined the quaint old sbuil-box in the first instance, Instead of ad- Talring vourseif in the mirror, there would have beet ne need of a vision. But you were too stupid.” “Too vain, I thought?” “Both, it you like.” “I should prefer neither, and as the imputa- Mons are so unfounded, we needa’t quarrel over them. You are quicker than I am, I allow, Will the conce:sion make you more complatsant 2” ‘The touch of flattery did tts work, and I was enabled to gain @ confirmation of my recent surmise that it was she who had personated my uncle Geoffrey. Only one poiot after this remained to be cleared up; and although she amused herself for some time in leaving the discovery of the matter to my own ingenuity, she grew reasonable presently. Touching some hidden spring in the oak panelling beside the chimney corner, a door flew back and she gained access to an inner chamber, which opened tn its turn on thecorridor. In this way she had made her escape trom the dressing- closet whenever she found that my watchtul- ness Of her movements extended beyond the ‘scene disclosed in the mirror. “What did Uncle Gooffrey mean by saying thet he had remembered your wishes, Lucia?” Tasked finally. “Inquisitorial stil!2” she exclaimed. ‘An inquiring mind that sees for itself, but does not question, 1s better. However, if ‘you are dull, T suppose I must onty be indulgent, I did not lke injustice, sir; that was all.” And with this admission I had to be satistled. There was No need, indeed, to press for more. My uncle's will had been found—his wishes had been followed. What further couid I asx? London Society. The Arkansas Idea.

We do not ourselves at all approve of the Colonel’s (Ingersoll’s) opinions, but we think it would be a very foolish and wicked thing to indict bim for blasphemy. There 1s a differ- ence between maliciously reviling God and rell- gion, and Ggpytng the existence of God and the credtbility €hd reasonableness of the Christian el pig There can be no doubt that words in the course of a serious discussion, and with intent to make known or recommend Gee entertained by the accused, are not blasphemy. This is the restriction made by the old cases. The New York code commis- sloners sald that the favor which the law shows to liberty of speech and free discussion of reli- gious opinions forbids that the sincere expres- sion of belief, however erroneous, shoul embarrassed by the penalty of blasphemy. Opinion changes. There are good Caivinistic ministers now-a-days who give such a defini- Uon of the trinity as would have subjected them to being burneda few centuries ago. It may well be said that Judge Comegys himself is unsound On this point. As for Colonel Inger- soll we expect to see him a good Calvinist before we die. He must even now occasionally find his own disbelief in hell extremely tncon- venient. His reply to Judge Comegys leads us to suspect that for him he would “consent to & mild form of damnation,” as Horace Greeley used to csncede for the slave-holders.—Albany Law Journa 4 Mrs. Wahone’s Apprehension. Senator Mahone, of Virginia,is a very thin man. The following story illustrative of his exceeding leanness is toldof him. During the war, while in command of a division of conted- erates, he had the misfortune to be wounded, Dut not seriously. An acquaintance about to vieit Richmond was requested to call upon the general’s wife for the purpose of relieving any anxiety she might feel by explaining the nature and extent of his injury.
