was a vrild. seonestered mmt
On the bank of the Rois T. iref
Whose rushing waters tarried rot
"i tnetr race for St. Louis Bar.
A ml there sat hy the side of the yellow stream
A fisherman bearded and broad of beam,
Ami he angled for perch with skill supreme
The whole of that summer day.
The fitOi were shy, or the bait was stale,
Or tke water too muddy, I ween,
For never a perch flapped his silvery tail
)n the bauk where the fisher was seen
Not a bite, not a sign of a nibble to show
That here in the depths of the broad bayou
Was perch, or pike, or pauipauc,
Or garfish pearly greu.
As-the yellow sun was going down
To the song of the marsh hen's cry,
The fisherman's brow was marked with, a
frown
And his broad breast heaved with a sigh
For his hook was fast in a hidden crag,
A water-logged bough, or tho root of a flag
Such as wave where the naiads lie.
Tq his feet arose that fisher brave
That fisherman broad of beaiu-rr , .
And .vyith delicate care essAyed to mvo
His dipsy and hook from the stream.
'Twas delicate care and delicate touch,
But more than a little was much too much ;
A jerk too m-iny, a pull too strong,
A ml. prune, on his bac.k he lay along
With prickly prongs of cactus plants
That pierced the linen of, blouse and pants
, In baud and body and scam.
Did be rave and lear his shaggy hair,
As.pien.are wont to do? .; .
This lisheimn--did he curse and swear
Until the air turned blue? '-.
Far from it. ;.pne, brawny band he laid
On port side aft', -wtaeTe many a bla.de
: Of cactus had gone through;, .
Tito other bo slowly raised aloft
As ho heaved a heavy sigh,
And then in accents sjid and .soft,.
"Helen Blazes!" I heard him cry.
How sweet, niethought, is the love which
rJneUs r - : ........
The evil passion that rises and swells
Within tho troubled soul,
When pain excites tho wicked swear,
Or disappointment, corns, or care,
Leave woe instead of comfort there,
And misery holds control! . .
Swce.t Helen! May thine influence
Bide ever with him thus;
Thy. spirit soothe the rage intense
That prompts the spoken cuss;
For tueu will rage, and men will swear,
Ami carry ou, and rip ami tear,
And break the decalogue everywhere,
If thou, dear woman, be not thera
To counsel and to keep them clear
Of things iniquitous. Gath Brittle.

Disclaim it as we may, the ni'ht side of
nature lias i wilt) and mysterious attraction
for every human soul. . The mystic realm
which lies beyond the prefceiit life, into
which we must. all plunge at some future
period, must ever poes.s, a thrilling inter
est for the imagination of the heart.
i'lie story I am about to relate is one of
fact- which transpired yetusago, but. there
ate many yet living who can bear witness
to tho truth of the following incidents.
In a small, iooily-fui'imhcd room a miser
lay dying. He bad been a hard, grasping
matt of the world, a usurer, a trader in tho
miseries and wants of others, and by sucji
means be had accumulated wealth which
he hoarded with all the gieed of his nature.
But once in his Ufa had he been known to
act with liberality toward any human be
ing, and tcnible results to the favored one
llowed from that act of paternal pride.
Look at the miserable wreck that pants
and struggles for breath on that bed. Ile
is old, wasted, repulsive, and mean ; but
even such as he is, he was once loved by
gentle and govii. woman ; but that was in
his youth, when his step was elastic and
free, while his face retained the impress of
humanity aud had uot hardened into what
it now is. .
Fortunately for herself, his wifo died in
the morning of life, leaving three, children
te his care. The two youngest ones, a girl
and boy, were left to do pretty much, as
they pleased, while tho father gave , all tlio
heart nature had bestowed upon him to
his eldebt son a handsome, high-spirited
lad, who grew iu wilfulness as years crept
ou.--
William Herbert soon learned to consider
himself all-important to his father; the only
Mnilos that were ever seen upon his face
illumiued it at his approach, and the only
words of affection that fell froiii, his lips
were addressed to this beloved son. Jven
his daughter he treated with silent stern
ness, and repuLsed her efforts to win a re
cognition of her right to a place iu his cold
heart.
Theirs was a curious household. It was
iii a Southern State, and a faithful uegress
presided over it as housekeeper alter tne
ieesn of her mistress. The strictest
economy prevailed in every department,
ami aalhousrh her master was . known .o
have accumulated wealth, no evidences of
i " . . i . . 1:
it were ever seen. juvKiy u mo u-pcuui-tures

stand that he would tolerate no inferior
marriage; he must choose a wife from the
ranks of the wealthy, and then he would
see what ho would do for him. ,
. Tired of the strict dependence in which
he was kept, William Herbert, early m
life sought a bride possessing the requisite
to tdease his father. A
iiuiit'.'"u . , ,
ntr rriil from a neichbonug county vis
ied his native town, who possessed in her
own ri"ht a handsome, unincumbered pro
perty H sought her acquaiutauce, fouud
... i.irrifientlv attractive to suit his own
taste, and soon succeeded in winning her
consent to become his wife.
The oldest Herbert was delighted with
the proposed match, and when his sou re
L:...V,i Mm of his oft-repeated promise to
eive him a portion of his fortune when he
? i, at. once consented to double
the wealth of the bride, thus placing his
well-beloved son on an equality with her.
The father was peculiarly pleased with the
choice his sou had made, from the fact
tha,t his,. daughter-in-law, elect not only
brought wealth to her husband, but she
was also a scion of one of the most aristo
cratic families in his native state. Con
scious that he had lowered his ,o,wn stan
dard as a man by bis miserly habits ud
hard dealings with others, he felt a secret
pride iu the thought that his suri's pros
pects had not suffered from the little es
teem in which men held himself.
The marriage took place, but not before
William Herbert had taken every precau
tion to secure absolutely iu his own. power
the property bestowed by his father. It
was a marvel among the lawyers who
drew the deeds that such a man as tho
jijjser should have opened his purse to
such an extent hut he firmly believed
the training his sou had .received woukj
prevent bun from using his wealth with a
lavish hand.
Iu bitterness of heart ,he soon saw his
error ; the,, cluck secuied, the younger
Herbert sooii displayed his natural tastes ;
they were lavished to profusion, and- the
money he had never heen taught to value
justly was expended with the .recklessness
of. on who thought he had suddenly ac
quired the purse of Foi tunatus. He pur
chased a beautiful villa in the vicinity uf
the town, and furnished it extravagantly.
All the appoiutmeuts of the establishment
were luxurious and elegant,, and the new
ly wedded couple c online need a style of
housekeeping corresponding with them.
The young wife was thoughtless, fond
of pleasure, and strougly attached to her
husband ; tlie two agreed perfectly in their
tastes', and but for the violent displeasure
of the elder Herbert, theie life would have
bee. i wi.hou acl jud. lit often larkei e Ithe
sunshine in which they lica uy his pres
ence beneath their roof, wheuv sneers,;. re
proaches, and bitter gibes, ever formed
the staple of his conversation.
Sometimes his temper would be aroused
to a pitch of fury by the wastefu, 1 extrava
gance he beheld, and he would often ana
thematize hiuusjBlf audibly for having been
so great a fool as to place any portion of
his hard-earned wealth at the disposal of
such a spendthrift as his sou.
, Violent scenes were at, length of frequent
occurrence, and William linall y spoke bold
ly to his .father and told him that his house
was his own, and he intended to act as he
pleased in it ; that.be .would receive him
as a guest so loug.P-s he chose to treat him
self and his wile with the respect, he con
sidered due to them, but he would no long
er tolerate insult Hiider his own roof. ;
The father listened with repressed fury ';
but when the son ceased speaking his pas-
siou broke forth in wolds of bitter vehemence.
He ended with "Your roof indeed ;
was it not bought with my money and that
of old Roger Wilton for you never earn
ed a ienny in your worthless life, and if
all this foolish wastefulness goes on, how
long will it be yours, do you think? Boy,
vou know bard as men think me, 1 have
always loved you ; but from this hour you
are to me as though you do not exist. I
never will darken your threshold again,
and if you. come to the direst poverty, as
know you must, uot..auotner peupy. or
mine shall you ever receive. It is enough
to have played the fool once for such an
ingrate as ,yqu have proved yourself. 1

am no lo-.iger such to you, for henceforth
I am your bitter aud uncompromising en
emy. 1 leave,, witn you wuac you may
sniilo at, the miser's curse, but it will fall,
fall, fall ! ' And as he repated the cun
thing, and the little he eould earn by his
hardest efforts was quite insufficient to
supply the wants of his family. His wife
was not strong, but she sustained heiself
wonderfully and helped to eke out their
slender means by her needle, that common
resource of her 6ex. ,, NV
- -.midst all their wretchedness, i$ was a
great consolation to Mrs. Herbert that her
husband never. resorted to the stimulant of
strong drink to drown his sorrows. To
gether they bore their fallen fortunes, and
in their mutual aifoctkm fouud some con
solatiou for the evils they, both felt .that
I ordinary prudence might have averted.
I Yet neither reproached the other with this,
I for tender and sincere a iTeci ion formed a
j true bond of unipp between them, and tho
j sad consolation of suffering together was
at least toe us. ,. 1; - . ,- ,,.,i
From the day tho miser nttered his
anathema against his eldest son he had
not permitted his younger children to hold
any. communion with him, and. they dared
; not offer William, assistance from the slen
j dcr means allowed them, lest they,, ,itoo,

ifeibert made more than one effort to
soften his father. He yamly appealed to
that affection which), had puce existed, but
alas! it was now turned to the most cruel en
mity. His appeals were rejected withsuch
bitter, stinging contempt such over
whelming abuse, ,that he soon, ceased to
make them, and resigned himself to the
lot he had incurred by his own reckless
ness. At length the miser sickened ; day by
day he grew worse ; he became aware of
his own danger, and summoned a lawyer
' to, make. his will. Every legal technicality
was brought iu play to exclude .his eldest
: son or his children from ever succeeding to
j the smallest fraction of his estate. The
property was bequeathed to his younger
! children and their heirs, on the sole cotidi-
tiou that they would never share the small
: est Doit ion of it with thoir discarded
brother. .-.
Herbert heard of the old man's dying
condition. A kind friend informed him
of the provisons of the will, and urged
hm to make a last effort to soften . his
heart iu his favor, that, while life remained,
I he might cancel the deed, and permit him
to share alike with his brother and sister.
The heavt.pf the sou yearned to behold
: once more the father who had loved him
S in his boyish days, and he went slowly to
; ward, the shabby old house in which his
' family dwelt. Twelve, years had rolled

From that dav ITerbpir';.was harder and
more grinding in his dealings than before.
The only soft feeling .his heart had ever I
known became a source of hitterness, and
a sort of maniacal hatred of his uudtitiful
sou took possession of him. Ho .watched
his extravagant career with malicious ea
gerness, and gloated over the evidences
which came, year alter year, tliat nis pro- 1
phecies were slowly fulfilling themselves.
With no habits of business, and a care- i
less disregard of expenses, William Her- '
belt soon found-that even his ample, re- I
sources did not sayp him from embarrass- ,
meuts. The tortuue lie uiougnt inexhaust

No mercy was shown ; he was stripped of

father wrote :..,. : -

. "Go now where you belong, among me
wretched and the outcast, and. take with
you the renewal of -be miser's curse."
To the miserable, broken-down man,
this was tho last bitter drop that caused
his cup of anguish to overflow. The know
ledge that his own father had precipitated
bis ruin, arid now gloated over his unhap
py condition, overcame the last remnant
of fortitude, and he 6ank into a brain
fever which threatened to destroy him.
The tender care of his wife faved his life,
but the few resources left to the ruined
family were exhausted by his long illness,
and Herbert arose from his couch to face a
world with which he was totally unfit to
wrestle.
The .suffering's, tho hopelessness, the
terrible struggles of the four following
vears, no pen may trace, though, . alas I
there are roatiy who can comprehend them
from actual experience, and know how
the life-drops of tbo heart were turned to
bitterness by the daily aud hourly effort to
fiud the means of sutainiug bare existence.
Ob I the struggle of poverty is dire enough
to those born to it ; but to the gentle nur
tured, accustomed to tue careless ease oi
wealth, how much more bitter it is, who
shall tell?
Poor Herbert could gain no employment
that afforded a reliable remuneration ; ho
had no business habits, uo skill iu any-
to pass agin you? llon't gc don't go to
him, Marse.William !" . x, . .
Her earnestness had some weight with
Herbert, aud, for a few moments, he hesi
tated ;' but tho stern necessity of the case
seemed to offe;r him no alternative. : He
remembered the entreaties of his friend
to make this effort, and he nerved himself
to resist the pleadings of hiM nurse. He
put her aside, as he said : . , . ,
"I mast see him, Phillis, let the result
to myself be what it may."
, "He entered and drew near,. his father's
room; when he reached, the door he paused
a moment to prepare himself for the dread
ed interview; at length he ventured to un
close it gently and look in. The dying
man lay apparently in a light slumber, aud
his daughter, pale and languid from long
watching, sat beside the bod.
tShe raised her head at the slight rustle
he made on entering, and she could scarce
ly, have seemed more appalled had a spec
tre suddenly., risen before her. bhe re
pressed the cry that arose to her lips, . aud
motioned him back, as she pointed mean
ingly toward their father ; but William
heeded her not. . . ,
He rushed impetuously toward the bed
threw. himself beside it, and thus kneeling
be grasped the hand that lay upon the cov
erlet, already, cold with the dews of ap
proaching death. At that. touch the spirit
of the departing one struggled back to life;
he who seemed scarcely breathing but a
momeut before was suddenly endued with
terrible vitality. He started up in the bed,
his glazing eye elaring with evil passion,
and his lips writhing with their efforts to
utter the torrent of anger that surged with
in him.
, He wrenched his hand from his son, and
regarded him with an expression that half
paralyzed him. William could only stam
mer "Pardon pardon remove the curse," Q
father! Let it not cling to me through ray
whole life." , , . . ,v . .
The lips of the dying man moved,, but
for many moments they had no power to
produce a sound. . At length the iron will
mastered even the benumbiug influence of
the stern conqueror, and a strange, un
earthly voice, which sounded as that of
some demon seeking utterance through hia
tongne, 6hrieked forth :
: "You ! you 1 how daie you approach
me,?. Hence! I say; hence! "before 1 spurn
you from my sight !" and he attempted to
spring from his bed. , , . i

and if my resentment can manifest itself

Horror-struck at the result., of his effort
at conciliation, Herbert left the, house be
wildered and trembling, A.he talked
through the streets toward his own abKU.

him,;, breathed coldly upon him, ami even
touolie! his person with icy .lingers, but
when he turned toward it, nothing was
theie. ;
, He fouud his wife waiting forhiin ; the
children were in Led, and. she sat beside
her solitary candle plying her needle indus
triously. One ghuiee at his face informed
her that something unusual and distressing
had occurred, aud he apprehensively iu
quiied .-,
"Where liavo you been, 'William ? Has
any. new Tlisaslcr befallen us that you look
so-wild?"
.., "I have seen my father, and he is dead,"
he briefly responded. Mrs, I lerbei t started
up with something like hope kindling iu
her eyes.
"And he forgave you? He could not die
with bitter feeling against his eldest born.','
Herheit shuddered as that appalling
scene arose before him; he gloomily replied:
.'lope for nothing for u-S -Maiy, for an
evil spell is upon us, and we may never es
caj) from the miserable doom of poverty j
aud suffering. The old man was inexor- I
able, and my presence only cx:uperatud
him 'into an excess of fury that hastuued
his death.'" ...... , . , ...
He would not relate to her all tho particu
lars tf the scene through which he had
just passed, for he knew they wouldonly
uselessly distress her, and, after a long and
hopeless communion over their dismal pros
pect, they, retired. . , '
For many hours Herbert could not sleep,
for the same weird consciousness of a prt
ence that was strange and inimical to him
made itself felt, though it was invisible.
He attributed, this to the excited stale of
his own nerves, and made every effort to
ftahn himself.., After long, effort he slept,
and, iu his sleep that awful doiali-sue was
enactjed again and again. Wheji.he awoke
he felt even more jaded and worn out than
before slumber had fallen on him.
.. .After breakfasting with his family he
wejat out and sought Jiis brother. They
had not spokeu or. years, for the .father
had, stood as an irou barrier between the
chiklreiMf the same mother ; but he was
gone now, aud the fraternal Ii.-uk.'.s might
once more be clasped together, tiuoige
Herbert received him gravely but affect iou
ately, and after .conversing a sliort time he
infv-"ied It i tn that, both from: bis sister
and himself, the dead mau had exacted a
solemn promise that they would never seek
lo evade his will 'in any manner so as to af
ford him any assistance.
, "The. property is, large," ho added, "but
it is tied up iu such a manner that if either
Catherine or I should seek to aid you in
an effectual manner, it must at once be
discovered, and it goes to those who would
lose no time in prosecuting their claims."
William asked to sec his sister, but she
was too ill from the agitation and excite
ment of the previous, evening to receive
him. lie le irned that the funeral would
take place on the second day from that,
for the miser had. a lively horror of being
buried : alive, antt he requested tl.at his
body should be kept uutil tlie third day.
. The evening of the burial was cold,
gloomy aud, depressing. Herbert walkod
mechanically in the procession, looking
self-absorbed, and slightly crcited. When
any one addressed him he started, looked
the hearth. The two had sunk into moody
silence, when suddenly Herbert started
and exclaimed
4What -what was that, Mary?"
"I saw nothing. Oh, William! you star,
tied me so that I am all uuuervt-d."
' "No I can see nothing either, but I
hear-r-oh, I hear deejs agonizing breath
ing close to my ear. It is as if a weight is
pressing upon the breast of a tsuffi seating
man, aud a giant hand seems to clutch my
feet.. Oh, my God ! what can this be ?"
llis wile arose pallid and trembling, for
she. too heaid the sounds he described,
though she did not feel the numbing pres
sure upon her feet. In a voice straiued
with agony, Herbert said:
"Vou refused to believe me, Mary, when
I told you that the old man haunted me :
now you hear for yoursclfi hark J"
This exclamation was caused by a crash
which came from tho next room. Itseemr
ed as if some heavy article of furniture had
fallen ami broken in pieces. Thiswasfol
lowed by an uproar which sounded as if
tho fragments were endued with life, and
were .carrying on a brisk warfare against
each other.
Tho children were in that apartment,
and the mother seized the candle and rush
ed to see what had happened. "The loom
was found in its usual condition, but its
.yiing occupants. were all awake and fright
ened at the tumult around them. As the.
light streamed into the apartment tho uoiso
shifted to tho attic ; by this time Herbert
had recovered sufficient self-control to fol
low his wife. They quieted the fears of the
children, as well as they could, and whcii
they again slept, the two ascended to tLo
upier rooiusamt examined them.
The. strnnge noise had partially died
away while, they were soothing the fears of
the children, bu as tho two mouuted th
staircase they again commenced ; every
nook was examined, but as they entered
one room the sounds invariably flitted be
fore tlieni to the next.
In this terrible watch passed the greater
portion of the night, aud when they letircd
a. perfect chorus of raps was kept up
around- the bed.
The horror of those hours left their im
press forever upon the unhappy mail. He
arose with hair partially blanched, aud an
expression of bewildered anguish upon his
features which never again left them. It
was many years before spiritualism came
in vogue, and although hundreds beard
these noises, no explanation was offered.
The common opinion was that the miser
had indeed sold himself to the Evil One
for the power to torment his unhappy son.
It is an established fact that William
Herbert never remained three l ights iu any
house without hating, on the third one,
the same inferno enacted beneath its roof.
Many years after his father's death- the
writer saw him in a Western city, whither,
he had come at the iuvita io i of his broth
er, on his way to take po-s-'ssiuu of a farm
belonging to the wife of the latter which
had been uttered him as an asylum for his
premature old. age. llis wife was witU
him, a pale, emaciated woman, who looked
as if a weight of sorrow brooded ever upon
her heart. ,
Before they came to C Mrs. Geo.
Herbert .stipulated, that they should not
remain m her house over the third eight,
but William unfortunately was attacked
with illness, and two weeks elapsed before
he was sufficiently recovered to proceed ta
his new home. The usual consequences
followed, aud for eighteen months it waa
impossible to sleep in peace in their house.
The noises gradually subsided, but the
evil spirit seemed to be omnipresent; foe
while they stnl made night terrible there,
letters we're, received from the new home
saying that even to the secluded siot they
had sought the mysterious sounds had fol
lowed them, and to his dying hour William
Herbert was haunted by the spirit of his
father.
wildly around, and a thrilling shudder
would vibrate through his frame. i hose i
who closely observed him thought he was
trembling upon the verge of insanity, and
the story of the last awful interview ,bo
tween the father and son was whispered
among them. . .
-..The two brothers stood side by side at
the head of the grave, and when the coffin
was lowered tlie elder ono was observed to
lean over aud peer into it. with an express
ion that seemed to indicate an intense fear
that the dead might again arise to mock
him. He evidently listened eagerly when
the clods rattled upon the ecllin; and when
the attendants were pressing down the
earth into the full grave, ho suddenly jump
ed upon it, and aided in stamping it down,
while he muttered :
';Bury.hini deep fasten him in, so he
can not come back to torment me as he
threatened !",
.. Scandalized at such conduct his friends
endeavored to draw him away, but with a
ghastly smile he resisted them, as he said:
"I tell you I must see that te is well bur
ied, for he has been with me ever since
the breath left his body. I cannot see him,
but I can feel his presence, and it suffocates
me. Oh, men ! pack dowu the el nls well
pack them pack them till they nit as
hard as the heart that rests beneath them."
"Poor fellow, he is mad. llo nm.-t bo

Herbert quietly replied :
