On a daik niglit in the month of Octo ber, I left my place of business m the city of Rochester, and stmted to w;dk home. My house was about lliree miles away, ami stood alone in a very d.-solate spot, the only ;.ppio.'irb to which was by a bleak stud lonely road Habit, however, had so tll'- cted me that I was never troubled in the slightest tlegree either by fear or kus picioit. I generally I i.-t versed ihe lonely r.md without thinking of ihe I-rith id the way or the gloom of the scenery. Oo the night to which I allude Irnied wi:h me a bundle cotit.iiui. ii a fuiisidcni bl: sum of nionej. It was this, perhaps, that made 1114 somewhat nervous and can; ions. l or (lie first time in my life I beHO lo be troubled w ith fears of n.bbeiy. 1 thought of the dangeisof lh! wax-; of the winding road; id" the rocks that favored concealment ; or ihe thick shade of ttees that iniied ambush. Every story of rob bery that I had ever heard now recurred lo me, uuiil al length ihe idea look complete possession of me. I could think of noth ing else. Iu vain I tiled lo expel these itioo-his li'otii my mind ; 1 could no mote control t lie til ihan the w I in Is of heaven; so 1 now walked on, looking suspiciously at every rock, and transforming every bisb into a lurking foo'pil. If it hid Ikcii posSitih", I would li.ivu liirned back, tail tins was not lo be thought of lor one i moment. Aly taoiuy and li tends ere all j at houif, and as 1 was always punctual. and delay wiaiid f.oise llliiuuasurable anxiety, in' only course lay oiiA-ard, and onwaid I felt 1 m.i-l go Sj onward 1 went, btlict ly lameming my lolly it: not taking a vantage from Ihe town, which would have taken me lo my home, so j dckly and so vanity, and spared me all inv present anxiety. Full of these thoughts, I arrived at a Solitary bouse which stou I about hall-way on my journey. A el.ireof !igit streatiie.J from the windows across tl.e io;id, illumt lialing the so- ne. Just as 1 appioaebed it, a d.ok figure d ashed foi'WHid front behind the bouse thiough the light and into the olootii of Ihe road, upon liicli it walked wild great rapidity. I was stailled ul Its suddenness. I caught a glimpse of lln loan's face as fie staled at me, but could I not di.-tingiiisb Ids batons. 1 only saw J that be was a mulailo, but no more. His whole acl showed that be bad been wait j ing for inc. But why should be wait for I i o.i i.ui i.-..t..r iilz.i.. t Vrii ilar; III!" ll.lil j 5 l ... .. . -- j lor x aid and walk ahead -f me? 'ibis was what tumbled me. All ibis lime I was walking on. I tried to calcb up with the in-n and pass him. It was impossible. 1 dtkened my pace moil it becaiiirt almost a run : but the inure I increased my sjeed, so did tin man inciease bis Toe remit ot Ibis i - . ! was to ctifirui uiv worst suspicions, and i - - to piove mostcleaily that he Had sinister designs upon me. At length lie came to the foot of a long bill Up this lh man went with unaba ted velocity ; but here I paused and slack ened my spetd At the top of ihe bill j was the loneliest place on the whu'e road. I Not a bouae was ccur it, except the ruins of an old block-house which was fast gniiijj to tlecay. If Ibis man intended io attack ine, here, 1 thought, would le the place. So the only thing lor tne tu do ' was lo ptepare n)sclf for ihe worst. I I was absolutely unarmed ; not even so j n uch as a peiiknile lut mo. I sought ' to find a sticky but could see nothing of the j kind. I was lorced to walk sl;:w lv. Tne result was that 1 regained my fresh- j uess, and drew near the summit of 'he htH ' is igonMis : s when I left the cily. )lv fear, which I felt at lit si, had given way lo anger. I was enraged al inxself, and fjiious at ihe man who I bus ventured to assail an innocent traveler. Full of these feelings, I gained the top of ihe bill. 1 was not mistaken. The form of the mulatto stood iu ihe npdJle of ihe toad immediately before me. I walk ed straight onward and came close up to t.im. "S. op !" crjd be. Who are you ?" said I. "What do yon wanl ?" 'I want that money." 'What money." "That monev xou'ie taking home." "Away, yon tool ! I t me pass, or I'll bl iw your brains out !" I c ted, put ling my hand iu my breast pocket. "Pooh !" sai i lh" fellow, with a sneer ; "you'vo got nothing. Out wiih your money now, r J 11 blow jour brains out !" And he k-v. led a j i-tol full at my lace. I gave an involuotarv slait. "Qu el; !" be died, will; a deep oath. "I haven't time In talk ! Q lick, or you're a dead man !' "Weil, wait a minute, can't you?" said I, peev ishly. "I s.ipposc I must give you what I have It is not much." "No huiub'Jg f" roared ihe fellow-, with another oath. "I want that package f money that you're taking home. D m't try lo humbug me wiih any ul" your beg garly pocket boks." All ibis tinm tire pistol had born leveled at my head, and I had been colliding my thoughts. I was calm and cool. 'You want Ihe package do you V said I, noing slightly to one side. "Yes," sai l he. "If I have to speak again, it will be through I his pistol " " Take, it, then !'' I cried ; and I hurl ed the shatp sti tie with all my Mitiigth full against his head. The man uttered a shiiek ; the pistol fell from his hand and exploded on ti e ground. Thi? next moment he sprang I'poti me. He was a strong and vigorous matt a giant, in fact, in comparison with me. But I was nerved with the obs:i:iate courage id despair. Life, fiends, home all were foi gotten. I would have died a hundred deaths rather than y ield. "Your momy!" he screamed, in a hoarse voice "Never!" I cried Ho wound bis arms around me. We wrestled for a moment and (hen fell heav ily, he uppermost. But his tight hand was powerless, thanks to the blow I had given it, and he could only use his left The struggle was- tenible Again and again I dashed Ihe stone at his be;:d, but at last the wretch caught it, and in the struggle it dropped away out of ihe reaih of both of us. '1 hen he fastened his rin gers on my throat. 1 lay completi iy sit his mercy, weak and utterly exhausted from I he struggle. ' Give up that monev- !" said he, stern ly. "I don't want to commit minder, hut if 1 must I will. Give up the money, and I'll let on go " In the hist moment of dtfpatr, when the obstinate coinage which had hitheito sustained me was bunting beside the re awakened desire for hie, I was suddenly seized by an idea which ptoved my salva tion. "Wait, then" I sai 1 bitterly. And I put my hand iu my del. The m in relaXitl hi- ho'd on my throat I drew fo'th my sunt!' box and opened it. The mm fant loiward eagerly. Take ii !" I cited. And 1 dashed the contents of the box full in Ids eyes Tue sliiiek of min-led rage and pain which bu'sl from him I shall never fjrgct. He made a frantic dash at my throat, but 1 kepi his hand away. Then the inci eas ing agony overcame him. lie started lo his le -I and run wildly about, not know ing, iu his pain and blindness where to fly. But a lew minutes completed my victory. 1 caught him, and succeeded in bindiuig his hands behind him wiih my cravat B.ind and groaning with pai-;, he too Id make bul little resistance, so lhat I was able, by means of blows and threats, Iu make him my prisoner. Scarcely bad Ibis been done than I beard (he sound of footsteps. I called eageilv, and was answeio-l bv a I'lmiliar voice. It was my farm servant. lie bad come out in seal eh of me, sis 1 bad been longer than my usual lime. With ihe assistance of this man we dragged Ihe rob lor lo my bouse, where he lay in conlinc ment until the following morning, when ho was handed t.ver to Ihe a-ilhuiiiies In the course of his trial it turned out that he was a n uoii.uis b-nglar from New Yoik, who had been visiting Rochester for a few weeks and exercising his call ing.

We find the following; interesting; am insimctive article in ihe Washington (D. ) Saturday Lveumg ii:or, in relating IO 51 subject which has iihvius produced leTainl alarm among the timid, ignorant, a,,tl supetsliiious, .,, nl!5 t.tly . We are sorrv la think that the belief iu this class of appaiitioiis is still ptevahnt turning our agiicultural population, and j yet hngeis in the cities and towns. We ! are not di-jnsed lo enter largely into the subj-ct at pieaent, but avail ourselves of the oppoilunity w hk h is afforded by a cot respondent, of slating some cont-i lera lions width tender to refer such appear ances lo the stale of the ghost-seer's health or neives. It may be stated generally, that it is not the young and vigorous who witness such appearances, but ihe old, and nervous, and the timid. When the nerves are disordered, either naluruPy or otherwise, the patients be come subject to delusions and false sights, whit h ateasieal lo them sis they appear perverse and lidictdous to others whose nerves are in jieifect health. These pa tients are naturally very ready to swear j to seeing a ghost, or spiiit d living per sons not present, because Ihey do actu ally, in the day dicaming of their mind's eve, see what tli"y swear lo. The nerves ; of ghosi-.eer" tire sdghtly disordered fiorn i feats brought on by having heard so many sioiies about ihem when young, and from natural crtdohiy and tendency to indulge in Ihe inai vellum. When ihe nerves tire minh diseased the ('elusions become more iixed and pvi matieiu, and the paiieut is li.cn ti rmed a luu.iiic. A juuug cleigjtnan, who was given to stud,, and who took bo: little exercis-i was one tuuining vi.-iled by two fiieuds. In the passage beyond ihem he saw an other hiend, and asked them vvhv be did not come in along 'with theiu ; and l:e saw that thud It lend so plainly that nothing would convince him to the. contrary, though he immediately searched cvety vvlicre about the house, until he was told by that thud fiieud afterward that he was at the lime many miles off". The doctor told him that he must take more exercise, or his nerves would become dis ordered altogether. Sometimes these delusions are brought tn by bodily discuses, and when the pa tient s body is lecovertng, the nerves re cover likewise. The fodoWiD stoty is si u in. nkable instance of it "A lawyer iu E lutbu-g was veiy ill with a fever, but nobody s.ept or sat up iu the loom with I. tin, iiis muse being in a loom be low. Bong winter lime be had si li e in the room, and one nieht he saw sitting in the easy ctiair a Oung lady he had been lot met ly acquainted wiih, but who had been dead two 3 ears. He faw her so plainly, and I be glare f rom the fire played and 11 tailed 011 her in such strong light and stiade just Ilic same as if she was lie luady theie, that be wialrped on the ll or with Ihe etiU ol hit stick lo letch the nutsu up ; but she could see nobody iu the chair, nor was there any impiessioii on the cuh ion since she placed u II. ere. Every nigitt lor Ih rue weeks ibis vision was lepc.Hcd distinctly ; be Ihen began Iu mend lopid iy, and as he mended, though the vision was still icpeated, it gicw fainter and fainter every night, and sitter his health was rtsiottd never sppciticd again. A lawyer, being in the habit or reasoning and siiguing and silting ihe truth, could, tu meiilioiiing sucu a circumstance lo his doctor, become al once Convinced Ih.il ihe yuung lady was 110 actual vision or ghost, bm it const pu nee inertly of the neives being diseased as well as the body. An ignorant ieisoii would never have been convinced but that Ihe vision vvu3 leal and not imaginary.

It was m doubt singular lhat a man who ineditsited his exit from the woild should have chosen to play such si trick on his liiends. But it la still 111 ue tredible lhat a whimsical m. 111 should do so wild a thing, than lhat st messenger should be sent from the dead to tell a hticlline at what precious hour he sdtuuld expite.

My thoughts were f.ir away from no blemcii of any kind as I stood among a throng of oiheis iu one of I Ik; elegant dry goods establishments, situated on ihe fash ionable promenade of our thriving metrop olis. I was one f the many who lineil the polished counters, looked with admiring e)v on the fabrics so temptingly dis- played. X lie halt-hour s absence of the obliging cleik, who would rind the slyle rtrpiucd only in a distant part of iho house, allowed me to be entertained wiih watching the stream of lair ones coining and departing And while I was wailing and making menial criticism to abuse myself, an inci dent occurred a lit tit out of the Common observation of simp visitors A slight, small woman, pale, sad-eyed, and wearing faded black, came in with a new infljx of visiters, walking timidly, and casting a half-ftighteiicd glance at the. piles of pretty stuffs. A b'ight, new material on the counter near where I stood caught her eye; she tremblingly ioq lired ihe priec ; when she was told, niv sharp eye saw a bill twisted in Ihe quiveiing fingers with a perplexed, troubled air, and my ears heat d her uiur nier "Annie will need ten j-ards." "Will you take it !" Site lifted her pule, meek face, nnd an swered "I cannot ; I did nut think it would be so much." She was turning away, when a gentle man who hkc mvself, hud been looking and listening, drew near, and asked of the clerk : "What does that lady want? I will wsiil ujMiii her you attend Iu the custom ers below." The respectful manner in which he was obeyed made me at once aware that Le was ihe piopiietor, and I was a Hale sur prised at what followed. "How many yards did you want, Madam 1" "1 cant take it, tir." "I am not talking about that," with u smile : "just answer my otitstion." He cut oli mote than she faltetingly mentioned ; and while he was packing if, siie found voice t. tell him that i!l-heallh had hvced her to rclii.qui.-Ii the work with width she l,:i. obtained support for her self and her tathei less children. But the eldest girl, barely seventeen, was going to teac h iu a week a. id she needed a dress to make her presentable. lie made no reply, taking in silence the little bill she tinned the very last of a small l.oaid and from his own jiorimo n ue a 1 ltd a greenback, Ihe amount tf which I coul I not see, slipped both be tween the cord which bound the parcel, and handed ihe parcel to her wiih "There, tell your daughter a stranger wishes In-r success " He walked hastily awny to avoid her tearful thanks, and Ihe little woman looked as she turned tu depart, like one in a dieam. It was a simple act, unobtrusively, q iietly done ; and not a week Ik fore, the same gentleman had been pronounced un charitable, because his name would not lie put down to swell the list for aid to ward some ini.-sionerv scheme.
