A MY'STP.IVY.
For what I am about to relate I can oftcr
no explanation. I merely stato tho laets,
ami lcavs tho reader to draw- his own con
clusion. On tho night of March 20, 1SBS, my
friend Dornlon Leroy and myself wcro
seated together in my room in the Hotel.
Tlio night was a very bitter one outside, but
wo cared little for it as wo sat thcro talking
of tlio past ami tlio present, in which thero
was littlo that was disagreeable to discuss,
mil ol the future, tho knowledgo of which
was mercifully withheld from in.
"Do you remember old Doctor Trent?"
Leroy asked, with a laugh.
"Indeed I do," I replied ; but I did not
smile, fr I could nover think of tho man
without a strange feeling of horror.
He had been at one timo a member of tho
faculty of tho college which Leroy and I
had attended. Ho was deeply learned in
metaphysics, and was in many respects a re
markably agrceablo man, but ho was not
generally liked. Ono morning there had
been a terriblo interview in his room be
tween him and tho president of tho college,
and tho next day ho was dismissed from his
position nnd left tlio institution, since which
time I had not met him. It was never known
why ho had been discharged; thero wero
many vnsuo rumors alloat, but nothing de
finite was known. One of the students had
heard him say to tho president as the latter
left his room :
'.Remember, Dr. D , this secret is
yours ar.d mino alone, and, by the eternal
powers, if it becomes known through you,
tlio vengeanco of ono whoso might you havo
never, until this day, dreamed, will follow
you through a wretched life and into a rest
less grave."
Tho student said that President D
tottered through tho hallway as if ho had
been face to faco witli death.
What occurred in Dr. Trent's room that
morning I do not to this day know.
"Do you remember,' Leroy continued,
"what singular ideas tlio old doctor had re
garding a futuro existence?"
Lcroy,though a splendid fellow,a brilliant
scholar, possessing a wonderful intellectual
power, was an infidel.
"I wish you would not mention tlio man,"
I said, impelled to thp uttcranco by the mi-
accountable feeling of horror of which I
havo spoken. "I cannot bear even to think
of him, I do not know what his ideas of
futurity were; I do not think I ever heard
him express thcni.
"It seemed to mo," Leroy said, "that tho
old man used to take a strango delight in
drawing mo asido nnd reiterating to mo his
belief of what occurred after death ; and
now that I think of it, I do not remember
that I ever heard him vcntilato his ideas in
public. Why, ho believed-"
"Excuse me, Dor'Jton," I interposed, "I
don't want to hear what ho belloved, or any
thing about him. I cannot bear to hear tho
man mentioned,"
"Well, ho was n ilisagrceablo old fellow,"
Leroy said, "nnd we'll let him rest j though
I can't understand why you havo so great a
horror of him, Tako another glass of bhcrry.
my boy, it will steady your nerves."
'As wo nro on tlio bubject, Dornton," I
said, "do you still maintain tlio Bamo opin
ions regarding ti future existenco as of old ?
I Inyo you not been forced to chango your
views?"
He icplled that lio had not, Wo then
entered into an nrcumeut, I endeavored to
ninko him undi'fstnml tlio subject ns I un
derstood it ; but all my efforts wero in vain.
At last, jumping from his tent, ho ex'
claimed :
"1'Sfe'k, listen to mc, nnd remember what
I tay. Jf I uio before you, I will, If I ktill
exist as n spirit, return to you and tell you
of the cxltcnco after death,"
"uornton," 1 interposed, but ho went
on :
'Twill do this; and if in this future slalo
I am forbidden to fulfill my promise,! swear
to resign my right to existenco in tho spirit
laud to remain on earth a wanderer for
ever," "Dornton, Dornlon," I cried in horror,
"you do not know what you say. You can
not comprehend tho terrible significiuico of
tho words you utter."
"Andyct,"n, voico said, "I ".question not
that tho vow ho has mado Is registered in
tho spirit land."
Whoso voico was this? X'ot Dornton's ;
not mine. Tlio door which separated my
room from the ndjoining apartment was
open, nnd on tho threshold stood Dr.
Trent.
Dornton Leroy and myself each uttered
his nunc.
"At your scrvlco, gentlemen" ho said,
bowing, nnd continued, "Mr. Leroy lias not
told you what lny ideas of futurity nro; but
they are not very different, Mr. llemington.
Irom your own. Ono thing I know, which
is that such vows as ho has uttered aro
registered by unseen hands, and a strict ful
fillment of their conditions demanded al
ways, always !"
His last words died away to nn almost in
articulate moan, and ho closed the door and
left us alone together Dorntorn Leroy and
myself. For a moment wo sat silent and
paralyzed witli astonishment ; then I rushed
to the door and attempted to open it, but it
was locked on tho other side. I knocked
nnd rattled the handle. Soon I heard Mr.
Trent's voice:
"Mr, Remington, you will oblige mo by
making less noiso ; I wish to sleep 1"
I retired from tho the door and resumed
my former seat.
"What do you understand by this?" I
asked Leroy. 'Ts it not strange,mystcrious,
incomprehensible ?"
"Xot at all," ho said, "merely a coinci
dence. Wo happened to be talking of Doc
tor Trent whilo ho was in tho next room.
Ho overheard us and seized tho opportunity
"Wlut I" I cried, grasping his arm.
Ho repeated tlio words.
"It cannot be," I gasped, "you aro mis
taken. He left me in perfect health at mid
night it cannot' bo 1"
"I have just left his homc,"Charlton said;
it is "true."
"I cannot realizo thisl What was tho
causo of his death ?"
"Remington, 'twas suicide."
"Suicide!" I exclaimed, almost prostrated
by tlio accumulation of horrors. George
Charlton told mo that tho inmates of the
house in which Leroy had boarded had been
awakened by the report of a pistol ; it pro
ceeded from his room. They had found
him lying upon tho lloor, dead, tho fatal
weapon in his hand, a bullet in his head.
Upon tho table was a note containing thee
words:
"I havo no desiro to livo longer. Fare
well, all."
"Merciful heaven I" I exclaimed when I
heard this, "it seems impossible that this is
so. When ho left mo at midnight ho was in
the best of spirits."
"And yet," . Charlton said, "at twenty
minutes past four ho took his own life in a
fit of melancholy. Is not "
"At what hour ?" I interrupted.
"So you see my boy," Leroy said "our old
friend caino in that room by perfectly
natural and legitimate means."
Notwithstanding this, I could not sup
press a shudder of loathing at the very
thought of tho man.
Dornton Leroy left mo with a cordial
pressure of tho hand and a good-humored
admonition to carefully fasten tho door be
tween my room and Doctor Trent's advice
which I lollowed.
That night I was awakened from a sound
clumber bv a peal of unearthly, horrible
laughter In Doctor Trent's room. I sprang
from my bed and lighted tho gas ; a cold
moisturo was upon my forehead. The
laughter ceased. I consulted my watch ; it
was just twenty minutes past four. It was
long before I could sleep again. At last I
fell into a slumber, lrom winch 1 was
awakened nt eight o'clock by a loud knock
ing at my door,
"Who's there?" I cried.
"Georgo Charlton," was tho reply, "let
mo in ; I havo news for you."
"Good or bad?" I asked, as I admitted
my old friend.
"l!ad, bad?" ho said, gravely. "Dorn
ton Leroy is dead."
for ventilating ono of his peculiar ideas."
"Rut how came ho in tho next room?"
This is a hotel ; therefore I sco nothing
singular in his presence there, It is ex
tremely improbablo that ho'camo thero by
other than natural means, If you will tako
tho trouble to accompany mo down stairs to
tho ollico when I start homo which will bo
directly you will doubtless tee his namo
on tho register. You havo a singular dread
of this man, Frank,"
I have, I always havo had : I cannot
help it. You're not going yet?"
"Mut, my dear boy, I havo to get up
early in tho morning, and it's already-
consulting his watch, "as I live, it's mid
night an hour later than I thought."
I went down to tho oflico with Leroy, am'
on the hotel register wo found tho name,
Trent, M. D."
"Tho shot was heard at precisely twenty
minutes past four."
It was nt that very moment that tho peal
of fiendish laughter from tho old doctor i
room had awakened mo from my sleep,
did not tell Charlton of this. It seemed
horror too great for utterance. Tlio though
occuncd to mo to notify Doctor Trent o
Leroy's death, I rapped on tho door, in
forming Charlton briefly that an old friend
of tho deceased occupied tho room, but
thero was no responso tn my knock. On in
miiry at tho ollico I learned that Doctor
Trent had left tho oflico at six o'clock that
morning,
I went with Georgo Charlton to tho room
whero Dornton Leroy lay dead. As w
looked upon his face wo each thought of one
to whom his loas would bo a far moro bitter
application thnn it was even to us, his bo.
som friends. That ono was Alico llcntley
tho young ghl to whom Leroy was to hav
been married in a month, They had been
engaged ono year, with tho full approval o;
nil concerned or Interested. Sho was a rare
ly beautiful and intellectual girl, tho idol o
her parents, who thought Leroy tho only
man in thoviorld worthy of becoming hor
husband, while hu considered her far too
good and too puro for him. Bho was n frail,
lollcato creature, nnd I feared that this blow
ould kill her. While Charlton and myself
iro still In the room sho entered; wo Im
mediately withdrew and left her nlono with
er dead lover, Two days later wo laid
Dornton Leroy beneath tho sod.
Six months passed. Alice Rently did not
o ns sho stood by the coffin of the man she
oved so dearly, but as tho days and weeks
ussed on sho faded liko a frail plant torn
from tho soil which matured it.nntt the phy
sician said that nn entire chango of scene, at
once, might save her, hut nothing else could.
o a European tour was planned. I was a
member. On tho 3d ol October wo sailed
for Liverpool.' Wo had scarcely left the
barf when I discovered that among the
passengers was Doctor Trent. I recoiled
i tit positive terror as my eyes-fell upon his
ice. Must I bo brought for two weeks in
constant intercourse with this man, whom I
detested ? For a moment I thought of leav
ing tho boat at bandy Hook nnd returning
to Xew Y'ork in tho pilot boat, but I dis
missed tho idea, for I knew I could give no
satisfactory explanation to my friends for
sucli an act. I endeavored to persitado my
self that I was wrong in feeling as I did to-
urd tho man who had nevcr.harmed mo by
ord or deed, that I was morbidly sensitive
pon tills subject ; but all my efforts were in
un ; I still felt toward Doctor Trent n3 to
rn! a poisonous reptile. I depi.scd,drcadcd,
oatlied him.
Rut he boon became very generally liked
by tlio passengers. My friends soon learned
that ho was an acquaintance of mine, and
each insisted on an introduction, which I
gave witli a reluctance I- strovo in vain to
conceal. During the voyage Doctor Trent
spent tlio greater portion of his timo in Alico
Rentley's company. It gave me tho keenest
pain to see them together sho whom I lov
ed as ono far abovo me, and he upon whom
looked with loathing. Rut what was my
horror upon learning that this old man,
Doctor Trent, had asked Alico Rentley's
and in marriage, and that she Lad promised
im an answer in three months. I refused
to believe this at first. I could not comnrc-
end how this girl, pure as an angel, could,
for a moment, listen to the addresses of this
creature, Trent ; how slip, upon whoso lips
y friend's kisses had been pressed, could
til to spurn this man witli contempt. Rut
as time passed on I saw that sho was com-
lctely in Ids power, that he was draw ing
her to him nearer, nearer, day by day, by
means of a dreadful fascination, a magnet
ism which she was evidently unablo to re-
ist, her will being completely subservient
to his,
Doctor Trent traveled witli us through
Europe. He was constantly at Miss Rent-
ley's side, and she never repulsed him. I
new that Alice did not lovu him, but I be-
ieved she would marry him. Sho marry
him I O 1 the thought was torture to mo !
I avoided Doctor Trent as much ns possi
ble; I seldom spoko witli liitn. Rut one day
he met me in a cafe in l'aris, and seating
himself by my side, said abruptly :
"Jhat was a terrible death of mv old pu
ll, Leroy, was it not, Frank l!cmin?ton?"
'I he question was so strangely nnd sudden
ly uttered that for a moment I knew not
hat to say. Finally I murmured an affir
mative response.
Fixing his eyes upon my faco with a
strange earnestness Doctor Trent continued :
"Do you remember tlio oath which Dorn
ton Leroy uttered that night, a few hours
boforo ho died ?"
I did not reply, 1 could not speak with
this man's fiery gaze upon my face. Ho
read my answer in my eyes, and went on :
"I can recall his exact words ; they wcro
these: 'If I die before you, I will, if I still
exist as a spirit, return to you and tell
you of tho existenco after deatli ; and if, in
this future state, I am forbidden to fulfill my
iromise, I swear to resign my right to cxis
enco in the spirit laud, and to remain on
earth, a wanderer forever.' " Thcso words,
as Doctor Trent uttered them, seemed to
burn into my very soul. I strovo to speak,
but could not.
"Ah I" Trent exclaimed, seizing my hand
in his own, which was so cold that it chilled
mo through, "It is not safe for man thus to
triflo witli a power of whose might tho hu
man mind can have no conception, Frank
Remington, where, in all tho universe, do
ou think Dornton Leroy is now?"
My faco must have shown tho horror I felt
of this man and at the fearful thoughts ho
suggested ; for ho paused suddenly and said,
willi a laugh, "Rut my talk does not buit
you. well, well, let us uismiss tlio buuject.
Ry tho wav, you will bo at Madamo 's
ball to-morrow night, will you not?"
I replied in tho allivmutive, and as soon as
possible left tho man.
The next night I was at Madamo 's
ball.
The company was about dispersing when
Trent advanced to the centro of tlio room,
holding Alico Rentley by tho hand, and said
in a loud voico :
"Friends, congratulate me ; Miss Rentley
has consented to mako mo tho happiest of
men by becoming my wife."
Ho had scarcely spoken tlio last word
when tho girl uttered a terriblo shriek and
fell fainting to the lloor. when, a low min
utes inter, sho regained consciousness, sho
cried :
"Where is he? Oh, whero is ho?"
They nked her whom sho infant.
"Dornton Dornton Leroy," sho said.
"As Doctor Trent finished speaking, Leroy
appeared beforo mc, and gazing fixedly into
my eyes with an expression ot intenso an'
guish, sei.cd my wrUt in his hand. Did you
not see him ?"
Doctor Trent burst into n shriek ot wild
laughter which thrilled mo with horror. It
Vas tho tamo that had echoed through my
room on tlio morning of Dornton Loroy's
death,
A moment later tho man was profuse in
apologies, attributing his sudden and Iuap
propriato outburst to nervous excitement.
"Rut, ladies and gentlemen," ho exclaim
ed, taking Alico Rentley's hand, "look here;
is not this a remarkablo pliciioniouou?"
Upon tho girl's wrist wero distinctly visl
bio tlio marks of human fingers, as it sonio
ono had grasped it very tightly.
Ono morning two month later I entered
llrtlo English chapel ill Florenco for tho
purpose of witnessing tho marriugo of Alico
Rentley nnd Doctor 1 rent.
Tho bridal party arrived ut tho tlmo ap
pointed, and tlio ceremony began. Alice
was lu tears and murmured tho ivopumes in
mi almoat iuaiidiblo voice,
1'roecntly tho clergyman read tho word
"If any man ran show just cauo why

they may not lawfully bo joined together let
him now speak or else hereafter forever hold
his peace."
A terriblo cry ran through tho chapel as
tho clergyman paused, nnd Alico Rentley
fell to tho floor. Again c.imo thnt burst of
wild laughter from Doctor Trent, who rush
ed to tho door and left the church.
"Ptand back," said tlio clergyman to tho
friends who crowded around the altar, "givo
her air. Too lato I" ho added, ns ho bent
over her, "sho is dead !''
And upon her wrists wcro tho marks of
human lingers ns wo lind seen them two
months beforo at Madame -'a ball.
Xot ono of our party ever saw Doctor
Trent again.
How 1'iilnnni Was Raveil.
When Lord Howo and his English nrmy
had marched Into Xew York city during tho
Revolutionary war, says a writer in Serib
iier't, tho commander-in-chief and his staff
wcro enraptured to find Mr. Murray, n
noted Quakeress, and her beautiful daugh
ter ready to greet them with a warm wel
come. Tho parlies had once met in moro
peaceful days.
"William," said tho Quaker matron "will
thee alight and refresh thyself at our
hoti'c."
"I thank you, Mrs. Murray," said the
plca?uro loving commander, "but I must
first catch tho rascally Yankee, Putnam."
Tho Yankee general, who had just escaped
and was only a short distanco ahead of Lord
Howe, was not to bo caught this time, if
the truth must be tortured into a shapo that
should deceivo in order to save life. Very
demurely the lady rejoined, in that plain
language of her sect which always carries
with it such nn emphasis of truth :
"Did'st thou not hear that I'utnam had
gone? It is late to try to catch him. Thee
had better como in and dine."
The invitation was seconded by the bright
est smiles of 'tho daughters, and Howo
wavered. Promising to purstio the hated
J'nnkce after he had dined, tho Rritish com
mander alighted nnd entered tlio house,
whero tho fascinations of charming host
esses mado him forget for hours tho object
of his expedition. I'utnam meanwhile was
Hying up tlio Rloomingdalo road, never dar
ing to draw breath until lio caught sight of
Washington's tents. Thatelier.in his "Mili
tary Journal," writes that it became a com
mon saying amocg tho American officers
that Mm. Murray had saved Putnam's di
vision. Woes of a lliisliaml.
John Henry has been oil' on a busines
trip and got home at three in the mouiing.
He found the doom all locked, and tried to
get in tho back window, in tho course of
which proceeding a policeman nabbed him
for a burglar.
"Why, you big idiot. 1 livo here," said
the injured man.
"Xo you don't, cully ; that dog won't
jump. Pvo had tho nippers on you afore.
You're a cunnin' cove, you arc."
"Rut I tell you, you blasted fool, that
my mime's Henry, nnd I live here, Just
ring tlio bell and ask my wife."
So the guardian of the law rang tlio bell,
purely as a matter of form, for ho knew his
man. 'Mrs Henry stuck her night cap out
of tho window, and asked,
"Is that you, Charlie?"
"Who in the bluo blazes is "Charlie?"
thought John Henry, and whilo his heart
was boiling over with jealousy, tho police
man asked :
"Is your husband at home, ma'am "
"Xo, ho's out of town, and won't bo homo
lor several days," aim men siammcu ino
sash down in a hurry.
So tho bewildered John went offto the
statiou house, and found out noxt morning
that "Charlio" was a brother from tho conn
who had como to mako a few days' visit.
A story not unlike one that every body
has heard already is related by a German
correspondent as being a true account of an
incident that occurred after- tho lato impe
rial hunt at HubertustVck. Tho Emperor
William feeling unwell proposed to return
lo tho castlo on foot in company with the
King of Saxony and the Grand Duke of
Mecklenburg. lint, tiring on tho way, the
party got a peasant to givo them a lift in lit
ntlytho man's curiosity being

excited by tho
ho said, turning to one of them, "And who
may vou be?" "lam tho Grand Duko of
Mecklenburg." "Oh, indeed," replied tho
peasant, with a wink, "then who may you
be?" ho inquired of the next. "I am the
King of Saxony." Rcttcr and better," cried
tho carter. "And you ?" accosting the third
member of the party. "I am the Emperor
of Germany." Well, then," said the conn
tryman, in high spirits, "I wilt tll you who
am ; I am tho Shah ot Persia, and can
hoax people as well as you can." Rut when
.ie drove up to tlio castle ot iiuuertiistock,
tho honest fellow found that, of all the po
tentates in tlio cart, ho was tho only ono
whoso claim could not bo substantiated.

Hark!
List, oh, list I
' It Is a time for dreams and reverie. Tho
dying year is passing mvay. Ifithadnny
kind of a hand It would tako It up; but no it
pases; passes; slowly pnssos; railroad passes;
minstrel passes; compasses ; pass us tho
mustard ; almost any kind of passes.
And yet,inethitiks it wero notalway.1 thus.
Tho midnight hour is sounding from tho
belfry lower, as lu heavenly tones tho old
town clock tolls tho knell of tho dying year.
Wo bad to borrow n town clock from n town
over.ln Illinois in order to work this stanza
through, For tho Rurlington town clocks
nro not on tho knell, very strong. If tho
dying year waited for our town clorks to
ring them out, tho Centennial wouldn't
como around for a thousand years. Rut no
the subject is too painful-; let it pass.
It wcro better so. Rcttcr that the tinburlcd
thoughts that rise liko restless ghosts and.
haunting, hover around memory's gate,
should folds their puletcss hands ou tho still
drapery and sleep.
Oh, tho long nnd cruel dingbats that flute
magilder tlio tawdry thingumbobs of flap
doodles in their ghastly gondcrnoss. And
whero? Oh, sunhrowncd sirocco, who ato
the Castile soap ? ' sh I Memory, memory
bar thy iron gates.
What wast? Hist I Ah, bo still, sad heart.
Only the rising wind rustles tho uncertain
drapery. Judge Drapery; may be. And
yet but still and then or no ha, yes I
why, no it is 'tis not it was 'tis two
'tis fifty, 'tis fifty-two. All, well : long, and
starless has been tho night, buttsomctliing
cometh with the morning. Ay, Dunbar's
gong.
St. Julicn mend this pensive mood I Whero
are tho friends of my youth? Xever had any.
Out of tho swinging portals of tho past,
whoso feet aro tho restless, moaning sea,
and whose lofty head is swathed in tho inky
pall of tho drifting clouds that frown away
the summer light, a fair sweet figuro rises,
liko a dream of hope. Out of tho gates of
tho impossible, adown tho30 mystic vistas
whoso enchanted sliore3 and magic isles
have echoed to the siren songs of boyhood's
sunny hours, thnir beckoning figures riso
and glido across thothrcshuld of tho all-pervading
present and their silurian cinthes
mock tho encurtained future. Rreak, break
break, on tho cold, gray rpeks, oh, mcifsent
up for ten days and no money to pay your
fine.
Change, change, change. It is a world of
mutations. To-day wo look out upon tho
street; it is crowded with loved and familiar
faces, tho constant cheerful faces ot men wo
owe. To-morrow we look: out, ana lo, a
change. A cow stands in tho middle of tho
street, which was not there before. Thus
cities grow, and chango comes with tho
rowth. Small change. Givo mo two
threes and a two for an overcoat button.
Xo? Then fade every sordid joy.
Slowly the old year moves away; slowly
but surely it moves. Wherefore? Perhaps
it doesn't liko tho neighborhood. Maybo
somebody steals its wood. It goes away from
us into tho irretrievabloipast.tbo oldyear,not
the wood, and wo know not who has taken
it, the wood, not tho old year, and wo em
balm1 it; in bitter tears, tho old year and
we lock up tho next cord wo get, the wood
for tho mines of Golconda cannot count its
value, whoso every moment sparklis with
diamonds of thought, and golden instants of
opportunity, the old year, that is ; and wo
ioaii one or two of tho hollow sticks with
dynamite, tho wood that is, and lay its
precious lessons -away in memory's casket,
tho old year, you know, and leavo them ly
ing carelessly around for a trap, tho wood,
we do that witli and hido them deep in tho
inmost chambers of the heart, the old year
we'ro talking about and it picks up a stray
neighbor or two, maybe, the wood does
and it perfumes lifo with the subtle essenco
of half-forgotten pleasures and sacred sor
rows, tho old year docs. Away I Tlicso
fancies burn into tho wearied brain. Lead
mo to Lethe's fabled stream wherein its
dark and turbid waves tho soul may hido
from every carking caro and bo at rest.

Hush, tho lust stroke of tho midnight hour
trembles on tho starlit air. It is the dawn
ing of the Centennial year. This year is a
hundred years long. Oh, blessed thought,
Wightful vision for the man who pays his
rent by tho year. Oh, lingering horror for
tho man whose salary runs tho same way.
Oh,'.raro Centennial morn. Oh, natnl birth
lay. Oh, longing eyes of a yearning world.
Oh, spptless record of unrecorded time. Oh,
several other things. Oh, pshaw.
