A STIMXGE STORY.
Our readers mnst remember what a tLriM
of horror pervaded the community one bright
morning iu the autumn of 1SG2. The ni,ht
previous a Urtn had swept over the coun
try, making houses shake to their founda
tions, and deluging the earth until roads be
came rivers and rills expanded into torrents.
In the early edjre of the t ight the ever.iug
train from the city had thundered into Fish-kill-on-the-IIudson,
and cut again, leaving,
among others, one passenger, who, without
word or ign, struck off into a pathway lead
ing tip among the hills.
This person was a young man of fine ap
pearance, not more than twenty-six years of
age, dressed with scrupulous elegance. His
elastic step betokened vigorous health, and
his half-smiiii g face indicated both a rnind
nnd a heart at ease. And why should they
not be at ease, when one was waiting for
Iiim by the parlor window of the mansion on
the hill, whose love it was worth a dukedom
to possess? She. a beautiful. noble woman,
was Li affianced ; aud that night, so threat
ening in its elemcuta! war, was one of sweet
contentment of soul it was to name the
moment of their marriage.
Ere the young man had fairly disappear d
under the deep shadows of the trees which
overhung the hillside path, the storm burst.
The wind lathed the trees with demoniac
fury, and the leaves flew in blinding clouds,
fiiiingalltheair. Then the rain came down,
fidint up all the pauses of the storm with a
roar like the blooming of the sea. The young
D;an staggered before the blast, but kept on
on, up the path now become a rivulet's
bed on, beneath the swaying branches of
the elms and past the evergreens, which, in
ti e dense darkuess, served to indicate the
v ty on
A second form glides from the evergreen
just passed, a glitter of steel, a quick, single
stroke in the back, and the young man falls
forward on his face, his dear heart pierced
nnd the pulses stilled in an instant. Not a
word, look, or groan ; it was death instant
aneous, unannounced, catching on the lips
the swttt smile that stayed there as if to tell
her what was his last th ught.
Oh, it was pitiful the form so full of life
nnd grace destroyed at a stroke ! And there
all through the dismal night, the beautiful
face pres.-ed to the wet earth, all that Was
mortal of young Mr. Embury lay, while
the watched from the window Lioking down
the road fir the coming of one who was
licver more to come.
What a night-watch it was! Where was
he? Surely, neither tempest or rain could
have stayed her f. et. wirged with love, nor
could they have stayed his. What could
have happened ? The demons in lie air
shrieked and moaned at the threshold ; the
lights, one by one, went out, and the sad
watcher went sobbing to a cc-uch to which
sleep would not come.
At early day the dreadful tragedy was re
vealed. A passer-by discovered the body,
still lying on its face as it full, not a drop oi
blood visible nor a wound or injury percepti
ble. So calm was the face, so undisturbed
the dress, so seemingly unviolated the per
son, that the amazed beholder could hardly
believe he stood in the presence of death.
Hut the pulses were still, the body stiff and
cold, and the frght of that early autumn day
j-hone only upou what was dead dead in
deed ! .
The alarm was given ; the servants of the
manoion were aroused by the cry : "A dead
man lies in the path below!" and w:th
blanched faces they hastened to the spot.
A dead man Who was he?
A cry burst from their lips : "It is the
dear fellow for whoso coming we waited!"
Tears were shed, not for the dead alone,
but for the living, for what now would be
the world to the beautiful girl who loved so
veil? Who would bear the tidings? Ah,
all hhraiik from that! and the messenger
was the coid body itself, borne by gentle
bands up the pathway, into that room where
love's tryst was to have been kept.
Over what followed we drop the veil.
Who killed young Embury ?
What was the motive for the monstrous
deed ?
These were the questions upon all lips,
but no answer could be made. Even sur
mise seemed baftled. He had no euemics.
His character had been singularly pure.
The vices whicn curse so many young men's
lives stain so mauy naturally noble uatures
-had not defiled him. Nor had he a known
rival for the ban! of the lady of his choice.
If such a rival existed he was unacknowl
edged, unbetrayed. Yet there lay the ds id
to testify that au enemy did live, who, im
pelled by hate or revenge aloue, had dona
the dastard deed.
The spot where the crime was committed
revealed not a trace of another's presence
the storm had oblitetated every footprint.
Uo straugr had ben a en to Come or go to
whom tu?picion could he attached. Iu the
village and vicinity every man, woman and
child were known, and not one could be re
garded distrustfully. The detectives, quick
ly on the alert, exercised their mbtlest skill
to penetrate the mystery, aud failed utter! v.
Bo the deed, from being a beven days
wonder, passed into a memory. Never a
trace of the criminal was discovered, so far
as the public knew, and young Eruburv slept
in Oreenwood unavenged. "
Thia community experienced a second
thrill when, after the lapse of a few years,
a "romance" commenced its serial publica
tion, which, from its initial paragraphs, be
trayed a knowledge of the crime and attend
ant circumstances that at ouce arrested at
mstances tnat at ouce arrested at-
It itemed like a flash of lightniDg
tention
' " " V' " HgUVUlUg
across a dark skv brin?inc nut fjoo r,.t
acta with, vividness at once startling and in
dividual. Soon all classes were readinand
talking .about THE DEAD LETTER a
strange, a mysterious, a wonderful story,
which, penetrating to the furthermoit part
of our country, excited, everywhere alike,
a deep, abiding, touching interest.
To those who knew, personally, many of
the persons introduced in the romance, it
became a history. There was a tale of blood,
but it was something more ; it was a tale of
love so str.mg. so true of hatfs and passions
so baleful and tenacious of devoted friend
ship so disinterested of human sagacity in
following up the almost iuvisible trad of
wrong and crime, euticing that few
minds could resist thj fascinations of the
story as story,'(vh:ch it professedly was.J
nor resist the conviction thfit it indeed lift i
the val, and. in the guise of fiction, made
known the truth.
The community wns sMH further excised
ly the rumor that eff rts were being made
for tne suppression of the work by members
of the family interested. It was stated that
the revelations of the professed romance
were so astounding to the parties concerned
that the minuteness of the detail of what
was thought. siil, and done iu the privacy
of the family cir. le- was so marvellous as to
challenge the belief that the dead had come
to life. Astonished, alarmed, moitified, and
pained, the fiki.ds. alike of the murdered
man and of h;s alliance !, sought to suppress
the publication coining from a source so
mysterious and incomnrehrnsiUn.
The suppression , however, wasimpossible;
but. in deference to th- demands of the par
ties named, the publishers let the work fall
into as much obscurity as possible ; and time
that Leeds the wounds, it was hoped would
allay the interest which the living would
Lave forgotten.
But it was not a ghost that an order or a
wish crnld suonress. and timn that. uirrhu
everything in its balance, has confirmed the
first impression made by the Bead Letter
that it is not only a startling illumination
of a sad, singular story, but is one of the
most powerful L,ve romances known to
American fiction. The Dead Letter was or
iginally published in a New York magazine
of limited circulation, and subsequently in
book form. Its re-publication now, in some
enterprising weekly, woull be a good in
vestment for the publisher. Xewburg

air Vigor,
For restoring Gray Hair lo
its natural Vitality and Color.
A dressing which
is at once agreeable,
healthy, and effectual
for preserving the
hair. Faded or gray
hair is soon restored
to its original color
trith the gloss and
freshness of youth.
Th in hair is thick
ened, falling hair checked, and bald
ness often, though not always, cured
by its use. Nothing can restore the
hair where the follicles are destroyed,
or the glands atrophied and decayed.
But such as remain can be saved for
usefulness by this replication. Instead
of fouling the hair with a pasty sedi
ment, it will keep it clean and vigorous.
Its occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling off and
consequently prevent baldness. Free
from those deleterious substances which
make some preparations dangerous and
injurious to the hair, the Vigor can
only benefit but not harm it. If wanted
merely for a
HAIR DRESSING,
nothing else can be found so desirable.
Containing neither oil nor dye, it docs
not soil white cambric, and yet lasts
long on the hair, giving it a rich glossy
lustre and a grateful perfume.

For all

do purposes of a Laxative
Perhaps no ono medi
cine is so universally re
quired by everybody as
a cathartic, nor was ever
any before so universal
ly adopted into use, in
e very country and among
aU classes, as this mild
lut euicient iiuifrative
Pill. The obvious rea
Fon is, that it is a more re
liable nnd far more uffeo
tual remedy than any
other. Those who hnv
tried it, know that it cured them : those who have
not, know that it cures their neighbors ami friends,
and ail know that what it does once it does always
that it never fail through any fault or nejrlectof
its cimiosiUc.' We have thousands upon thou
sands of certilicatps of their remarkable cures of tho
following complaints, but such cures arc known iu
every neighborhood, and we need not publish them.
Adapted to all ages and conditions in all climates;
containing' neither calomel or anv deleterious drusr,
tlmy may be taken with safety by anybody. Their
frugar coating preserves them ever fresh and makes
them pleasant to take, while bein purely vegetable
no harm can arise from their use in any quantity.
They operate by their powerful influence on tho
internal viscera to purify the blood and stimulate it
into healthy action remove the obstructions of the
Ftomach, bowels, liver, and other organs of tho
body, restoring Uieir irrcgnlar action to heal Lh, and
by correcting, wherever they exist, such derange
ments as are the lirst origin of disease.
t Minnte directions are given in the wrapper on
the box, for tho following eomplainU, which these
2'ill rapidly cure:
i'or yspepia or Todigeation, X,itla.
nm, Languor and Jo of Appetite, they
should be taken moderately to stimulate the btom
nch and restore its healthy tone ami action.
Jtl-tr Complaint and its various Fvmn
toins, lEHiout ISraiUche, Mick Ileadaciic,
Jaundice or tirpen KiicknpM, ISiliou
Colic and Xtiliotit ver, they should be ju
diciously taken for each case, to correct the diseased
action or remove the obstructions which caurc it.
For Hj.ciilpr.T or Diarrhopa, but one mild
dose is generally required.
For Ithi-iimalioni, Wont, Gravel. Palpi,
tation of the llrrt, Paia in the Kiele,
Jfrtck and JLoin, they should be continuously
taken, as required, to change the diseased action o"f
the system. With such change thoso complaint3
disappear. r
For IronT and Hrojwical Beetling they
should be t iken in large and frequent do.es to pro
duce the enect of a drastic purge.
For MupitrrMion a large dose should be taken
as it produces the desired effect by sympathy.
As : Jtmurr 1'ilt, take one or two Villa to pro
mote digestion and relieve the stomach.
An occasional dose utimulates the stomach and
bowels into healthy action, restores the appetite,
and invigorates the system. Hence it is often ad
vantageous where no serious derangement exists.
One who feels tolerably weU, often finds that adoso
of these I'illa makes him feel decidedly better, from
their cleansing aud renovating effect oa the diges
tive apparatus.
