T could not, indeed, bear to atay more than half a minute within those walls. I descended the stairs, and again [ heard the footfall before me; and whea | opened the street door I thought I could distinguish a'very low laugh, I gelned my own home, expecting to find runaway servant there. But he not presentot himself; nor dia 1 hear more of him for three days, when I recelved a letter from him, dated from Liverpool, to this effect: An Odd Leiter, “Honored Str pardon, T humbly entreat your though 1 can scarcely hope that you will think I deserve it, unle; which heaven forbid!—you saw what T did I feel that it will be years be- fore I can recover myself; and as to be- ing fit for service, it is out of the ques- ton.

Mr. J— seemed startled, and after nausing @ few mo ments, answered: “Iam but little acquainted with the woman's earller history, except, as I before told you, that her family were | Known to mine. But you revive some |vague reminiscences to her prejudice. I will make inquiries, and inform you of thelr result. Still, even if we could admit the popular superstition that a person who had been either the per- petrater or the victim of dark crimes in life could revisit, as a restless spirit, the scene in which those crimes had been committed, I should observe that | the house was infested by strange eights and souns before the old woman died —you smile--what would you say?” “I would say this, that I am con- vinoed, if we could get to the bottom ef these mysteries, we should find a living human agence: “Whet! you belfeve {t 1s all an tm- |pesture?
