and that it is trip boUnden duty to leave my
bed at any hour or temperature, ,and to do
battle with the same, in a very inaudequate
apparel. The circumstances which attend
Mrs. B.'s alarms are generally,of the fol
lowing kind. I am awakened by the men
tion of my baptismal name, in that peculiar
species of whisper which has something un
canny in its very nature, besides the dismal
associations which belong to it, from the
fact of • its being used only in melodramas
and sick-rooms:
"Henry, Henry, Henry."
Ilow• many times she has repeated this, I
know not; the sound falls on any oar, like
the lapping of a hundred -waves, or as The
"Robin Crusoe, Robin Crusoe" of the par
rot smote upon the ear of • the terrified is
lander of Defoe; but at last I wake, to view,
by the dim fire-light, this vision:—firs. B.
is sitting up. beside me, in a listening atti
tude of the very it:densest kind; her night
cap (one with cherry-colored ribbons, such
as it can be no harm to speak about,) is
tucked back behind either ear; her hair—
in paper—is rolled out of the way upon each
aide like a banner furled; her eyes are rather
wideoopen, and her mouth very much so;
her fingers would be held up to command 1 1
attention, but that she is supporting herself
in n somewhat absurd manner upon• -her
hands.
."/Anry, did you hear that?" -
"What, my love?"
"That .noise. There it is again; there--
them"
..The disturbance referred to is that caused
by a mouse nibbling at the wainscot; -and I
venture to say so much in a tone of the
deepest conviction.
"No, no,- Henry, it's not. the Attest like
that it's s file working at the bard of .the
pantry window. .I will stake my,existence,
Henry, that it is a file." . : .
• Whenever soy wife makes use of this par
ticular form of words, I know that opposition
is useless. I rise, therefore, and put on
my slippers and t dressing -gown., Mrs. B.
refuses to /et me have the •candle, because
abe will , die of terror if she is left alone with
out a light. She pats the poker into my
hand, and, with a gentle violence, is about
to expel me from the , chamber, when a sud
den thought strikes her. .... -
"Stop a bit, Henry, she exclaims, "until
r have looked -into the cupboards and
places:" which she prooeede.to do most min
utely, investigating even the short drawers
of a, foot and a half square. I am atlength
dismissed upon my peeiloue errand,' and
Mrs: B. locks and dottblC•lockatite door be

I arrive at my.wife's chamber; the screams
continue, but the door is locked.
"Open, open!"- shouted I. "Whitt on
earth is the matter?"
. There is silence; then a man's voice—that
is to say, my wife's voice' in imitation.of .a
man's—replies in tones of indignant ferocity,
to convey the idea of a life-preserver being
under the pillow or the speaker, and ready
to his hand: "Who are Ton—what do yen
want?"
"You' very silly wcman," I answer; not
from impoliteness, but because I find that
that sort of language recovers and assures
her of my identity better than any other--
"why, it's I."

the door communicating with my attiring

This statement is a little too much for my
sense of humor, and although sympathising
very tenderlywith poor Mrs. 8., I cannot
help.bursting into a little roar of laughter.
