A NIGHT OF HORROR.
Till! i li.ter of 18 was an exceeding
ly severe one: nothing like It had been
known wlihln the memory of that re-
llableauthority "thenldet inhabitant."
Heavy falls of snow had whitened the
ground early in tho season, and the
l.rcn mid piercing North winds, allied
by frequent nm fwt ll"a hall
had prevented the sun's rays from af
fecting materially tho earth's white and
dazzling mantle. r was a hard oason
for the poor, tied reudeied doubly so
from lliu fact that tlicalmostutlcrpros
tratlon of biisiiic'.s had thrown luin-
died- of workln t men out of employ,
ment, mul drlvin maoy lo ncls of ills'.
honesty and even greater crimes. I
was spending weird weeks in p. snia'.l
town In the western putt of thn State,
and It was lu Hi!-, place, on one of the
bitterest nights of this miht bitter win
ter, that the adveiiturn bofel mo which
I proposo to relate one which hag fixed
iNelf so llrmlyin my momory tliat the
ihpso of tlmo lias done nothing to efface
It, or render its iiii-idon ts less fresh and
vivid. A few words by way of intro
duction will first bo necessary.
Tint town of , although not a
large one, was on the line of a railroad
and thus received a fair amount of trav
eling custom. I was stopping at the
bent hotel In tho plnco kept by a mo-t
portly host and one wc l 1 acquainted with
the desirable art of "keeping a hotel."
Tho gnosis were a, Jovial fun-loving set,
much given to story telling, singing
and mild conviviality during tho long
winter evening. Witli them 1 had be
come, very well acquainted before the
period ill which my .-.tory begins. A
hurt lime before this however, our
number had been inerc.icd by thn arrb
al oi" a young man from the West, a
rough looking fellow, whose exact po-
Won in the social world it was hard to

I he, south and West, ami was familiar
with the haMts, manner-, and custom?
of steam boatmen on the largo rivers.
Iloociiipktl a room in common with
three other men and i'o a time "all
went merry as a marriage bell." Soon
however, rumors were vh!-pered about
oiiceriilng the loss of various mall ar-
llelei from this room, culminating An
ally In tho breaking open of a carpet
bag and tlio forcible abstraction there
from of sundry articles of wearing ap
parel. S(UH of the occupants of the
room spoke strongly against tho new
'tinier, and, if my memory serves mo
rightly, even went so far as to accuso
I1I111 of Ihe thefts.
I had carefully refrained from 'giving
any opinion regarding tho mutter, part
ly from a dl-iiielltintlon tomeililloln nil
a'tViiir whlcli was 110 business of mine,
and partly from the fact that I could
co no proof whatever ol his eompilci-
tv, I had, however, on the invasion or
llie l ist dl-covery, mentioned that If he
were utility ho sh uild be arrested and
punished, a It was not only rather ex
pensive to the pi;rnoiis plundered, but
vi ry damaging to the reputation 01 the
well-kent and orderly hotol. This oh.
nervation of mine, probably somewhat
di-torU'd, in is aluost invariably the
ea-f with remarks p.t-lng through sec
ond hand-, or rather through set mid
mouths, had miehod ihe oars of the bus
pt ctoil party, greatly to the do-tl notion
of hlspeaco ul' mind, and 1 In turn was
iufoiiiK ii, that vi'iigeaiiec dire had boon
threatened me, and personal ch.isllsc
inent of an unlimited character. This
of cotue w.w unpleasant news, as 1 am
of small stature and in no manner ptigl
llatlcally Inclined, mow especially In a
case llko this, whore my adyoivs.iry was
of much greater proportions ami some
thing of an athleto its well. I deemed
It however bolter to say nothing, but to
let tho inaltor die out, keeping a eloso
watch over my unruly tongue, lest I
should again cumuill myseir and bring
down punishment un my devoted head.
Matters were In this eondlllim on tho
memorable night to which I nllmlo. I
had retired tally, fatigued with walk
ing over thu yielding snow in tho faeo
of 11 sharp Northeastor and had fallen
Into a deep druaiuloss sleep which lasted
until after midnight I supposo, for tho
hotiso was intensely quiet j the last rois
terer had left thu bar-roum, ami 110

1 king humanity. Tho moon siiono

Hiiddenly n murmuring llkon hiimnn
volee sounded in the i,!ll Just outsldo
of my door, and then my ear detected
soft footfall'? iw If ni ado by Btoekliigcd
feet. With every (acult.- intetisiried u
hundred fold, I watched and listened.
I had flxed'niy eyw on the door, which
I could liavu sworn wiw both locked
and bolted, when It noiselessly opened,
ineetlnp; with no resl-jtanco from bolt or
bar, and two men entered tho room.
Tho llrst I recoftulzed Immedlati'ly as
the suspected thief of room No. , the
other waS n .stranger. No attempt was
iinule at concealment by eltherof them.
Both woro fur cap? but these were rath
er pushed back from the furehead, than
pulled forward and evinced no desire
on their parts to prevent recognition.
The door was sliut as noiselessly us It
had been opened and the men blood by
the bedside whispering softly, mi softly
Indeed that, although my hearing was
doubly acute, I could not dWtiiigul'h
what was said,
After what seemed to bo minutes, but

1 Us companion nuldenlyspratig forward
and grasped his arm, and as iny eyes
instinctively followed the motion I saw
to my horror that Ids hand held a large
heavy handled bowlo knife. A slight
struggle took place but was conducted
without noise, liven ut the time, I was
struck with the fact that their footsteps
seemed toc.aiiseiiosounil, whll-t I could
distinctly hour the patter of my naked
feet as 1 moved my position to avoid
them in their struggle. This nimeared
all liir lyoio At range, because 1 had de
tected their foot steps before they en
tered the 100111. At length G desis
ted Irom his efforts to wrench his arm
Irom his companion's grasp atul asked
in a sharp quick voice, which did not

response but walking up to me, pushed
me forcibly lown on a chair which stood

The night as I havo (.aid before was
Intensely cold, so cold that the water
froze solid to the very bottom of my
water pitcher, and I was sitting lu till:
bitter air In mv night-shirt, and with
my bare feet on the Iloor. I remember
to have read, that men placed In posl
tlous of peril, In Iho face of death a- ll
weie, often have to pass in review tho
actions of their lives In 11 moment of I
time, from the earliest bourn of child
hood until that which seems to them
the last of their existence. Such 11 pano
rama of life passed before Mi'. Incident's
of my boyhood long since forgotten and
which at tills day I cannot even recall,

comings 01 my li'e, and siuguiaiiy
ihioiil'Ii of all mv iileir-iiriv. .sharp
twinge of regret 1 hail as well, and
bltterlv I thought of ih' Ignominious
death awaiting me. I thought of all
my lookdl for plea-tiros, my anticipa
tions of worldly -access, my good it'-
solves, my separation from loving
friends and family, and then I pictured
tho consternation and dismay of mine
portly host ami his jovial guests, whom
I had loft lu snob line spirit-, but a fw
hours since, when in tho morning they
would lliul a gha-tly corpse with "that
across his throat that they would hard
ly euro to see." I dared not call for
help, knowing Unit bufoie any one could
reach me the tb itl would becim-iiinium-letl,
and I had 110 desire to hasten iny
fate even though It seemed Inevitable.
Strange to say, during nil this tlmo no
fooling of fear crossed 1110, a teiiso of
wonder and of regret for leaving earth
by the dastardly hand of a cut-throat
aiid thief, was all I felt. In fact so Ut
ile was iter-onal ioar present with mo
tli.it when It approached me 01100
and. ns if to try my nervo,
drew the
luck of his knife across my throat I
did not even shrink, although the touch
of the cold stool was like that of the
baud of Death.
It must not bo understood that whilst
1 was rovhiwing my life, I h.ul let my
attention wander. On the contrary, my
1'nzti was Axed uiiou tho men in If fas-
cliiftted.and followed their every action.
They lull opened my trunk ami ta
ken therefrom nuii tilings as thoy do
sired, ami had even opened u butidlo of
private papers and sionied to bo look
ing unions them for something of Im-
purtuiice. -My clothes which ntiiig over
the back of a chair were not molested,
although my watch and pocket book
wore lu them. At length they closed
tho trunk, lolled tho articles they had
taken Into a liiindliyind lurnod towards
me. Thou I perceived for the llrst time
that they both had knives In. their
hands, the knives were exactly nllke,
both had horn handles anil were broad
bliided and heavy, as bowlo knives al
whys are. As thoy approached mo I
looked them fnlily in the face, never
flinching or moving, except that just
beforu they got near enough to touch
me. uiy feet suddenly fell cold nnd 1
drew them up on tho round of thechalr.
Btrmigu that a man should fui personal
Inconvenience, with death staring him
In tho face. This apathy continued
even when O spoke to mo ami cald,
" I swore I would kill you nnd you see
Iruiii going to kivp my word." 1 made
110 reily but thought how perfectly I
could understand the p.ctlon of -oiik
men who had perished on the scaffold,
men who gave up their lives as if they
did not care to keep them, who looked
nt tho wnlllngmultltude with unmoved
face, mid stepped on the fatal drop with
a smile. Dying gamo they Call it 1 J
understood it all then. Dentil, more
merciful than man who punishes,
blunts all the sensibilities and makes
his nwful approach seem unreal uutl far
oir. Hut I would never live to tell all
this, and again ihe. foellngof regret rose
strong within me: to know all this and
yet to be debarred from communicating
it, seemed hard to hear. At this mo
ment G stepped forward, grasped
1110 by tho hair and bending my head
back so that I perforce caught one lat
glimpse of the peaceful scene without,
tho Whlto snow and tho silvery moon
light, raised his knife, when a sudden
noise as or tho swinging to of a
door, caused him to , iiuse and half re
lease his grasp of my hair, then theio
came the heavy footsteps of a man and
the half ntidlblo humming of n tune.
(i 's companion for tho second lime
grasped Ihe would-be murderer's arm,
and hlsi-vd rather than spoke, "(illicit,
for 1 ioil's sake pome, you'ie too late."
Without waiting for reply, he draggtd
the reluctant a towards the door.
I have been a novel reader fur years,
and have read of rulllaiis dire of all de
set Iptioiw, but never have I seen the
human lace de.-cribed as s frightful, a
tlils mail's was turned towards me from
the now half opened door. It not
human, It was ilovilMi. The door
opened, the men p:i" ouf, the door
cin-ed with the -atue tib-uiee of noie,
and they were gone. Tit mi with a gas
rtmj JOb of relief my life eaine back to
1110 and I Milk exhatt-ti d. A load
noUuln the loom below, and a flush of
light in my eyes broke the spoil, and I
awoke that Is the fact awoke with
the sun's IIM rays streaming in my
face. The whole thing was a dream.
My first impul-e,was lo -piing from
my bod ami examine the fa-leiilngs of
the door: they woro untouched. My
next,l I do not mind telling it nowi was
to look lu the irlas-i to see whether my
i
1...11 1 timed i'rav from tho night's 1
iom
agony, and it wn with 11 senft of
the most agreeable disappointment that
I found it to lie of Its pristine hue.
The unromanticcauco of all this mis
ery, was, undoubtedly, a hearty supper
oaten lust b, fore retiring, when my
brain, acted upon by ndloi'deredstom-
Mh, created and nearly carried to a
tragical conclusion, this Imaginary and
exaggeiated tuinilmeiit'ifd 's threats.
Days elapsed before I quite recovered
from tho nervous effects of this hideous
nightmare, and Its recollection will bo
fresh In mv memory for years.

Would f were by thy side,
On this Tall morning, chill and bright,
As when you were my bride.
The sheriff grabbed me on tho street,
The clerk cried out my name
I told them you were sick, Mary,
Hut they bored mo all the same.
The placo is somewhat changed, Mary,
Since I sat here before
They've lost thu drapery o'er the bench
And the carpet 011 tho floor j
Iiul the lawyers bore ino Jut as much,
And they howl and whine and screech,
I still keep llstenln' for tlielr words,
Which clo-e the well-worn speech.
'TIs but a step ileum tho street
To where they set a lunch
The place where they are famed, Mary,
I'or making whisky punch ;
Hut tliesherifl' stands between, Mary,
And my steps lie would arrest
So I'll lay me, darling, down to sleep,
With my head upon my breast.
I'm very lonely now. Mary,
I'or they've sent us to our room j
We've talked the matter o'er and o'er,
Hut to no verdict come.
I know what I would do, Mary,
If they'd a-k me to find
I'liurp's nothliiglofi lomlk for mnv,
.since each has made his mind.
Yours was tho good, brave heart, Mary.
That still kept hoping on,
VIou they had me on thojury list,
And my last excuse was gone.
There was comfort over 011 your lip,
Though the judge pulled down
Id
brow ;
I bles you, Mary for that .same,
Though you cannot hear me now.
thank you for that patient care
That gave this piece of cake,
Now hunger's pains and gnawing hero,
I'll eat It for your sake.
I bless you for that sack
That quelled the rising -storm ;
Hut, oh! I'll thank you more, .Mary.
If you'll keep my dinner warm.
I'm bidding you a long farewell.
My Mury, kind and true;
I'm afraid that we will hang, darling
1 Know we're going to.

A CONSCIENTIOUS LAWYER.
Tin; Danville (N. Y.) lUprift tells a
capltnl story connected with a promi
nent lawyer of that village, who has
distinguished himself In the defence of
criminals, ns well a in connection with
other trials, having frequently through
Ids skill, aided the most Hardened crim
inals to cfcnpe from Justice. Sometime
ago, while ho was attending court In an
adjoining county, he was applied to, by
a singular specimen of humanity charg
ed With grand larceny, to defend him.
The lawyer verj naturally Inquired
what crlmo he wiw accused of. Tho par
ty nceused replied that iomcbo(ly hud
been mean enough to charge him with
sten'lng SlTiO lu bank notes, nnd had got
him indicted. "Arc yon guilty ?" asked
the lawyer.
"That's none of your IiUsIiicm," re
plied the nccused,"They say that makes
no difforoncu witli you i whether a mini
Is guilty or not.you will contrive to dig
him out some way. So don't talk nliy
more about the guilt till you hear what
th(-Jury says,"
"Well, what about the pay?"' said the
lawyer.
"You Just hold on till thotrin isover;
give tj nhotomphilnant) hlpiithc

he has got to back Jilm tip(j and you'll
have no trouble about the pay."
