A MODERN GHOST STORY, Some years ago it was my fortune to pass, with my family, a winter in one, l of the Islands of the North At lantic. and in-that dreary region oc curred the singular ,circumstances which I mean to relate, 'and which, thOugh not to be compared, in some respects, with the orthodok ghost sto ries of &brier times, yet have the sin gular merit of being strictly true. In the northern locality Which I have mentioned, the short summer months may be agreeably spent, for there is constant communication with the world beyond the broad . waters which surround it, and the island it self is covered' with beauty and. ver dure. . The troops stationed there, and : the Government suite and its de- PendenCies, :fpl*e the chief town gay, and sorrietital. even, •brilliant. But this period is brief, indeed; and the long winter occupies the greater por tion" of 'the year, requiring all appli ances and means to boot, to relieve . the weary monotony of the season, where, for months together, the eye rests on fields of snow, and the ear . grows tired of the ringing of the sleigh-bells. Having found that we should .be obliged, by circumstances, to remain daring the winter, we made every ar rangement to render our residence as cheerful and comfortable as possible; and early in November we found our selves quite prepared. We tad hired, on our first arrival, the only large .or pleasant dwelling to be obtained. It was at a little dis tance from the town:, old fashioned and roomy, with large offices, deep cellars and wine vaults, which, it was said, had been (informer times, when the house was occupied by a Govern ment officer) well filled with good wine, but was now tenanted by spir its of an inferior kind. In fact, the house was said to be haunted, and to this story, which the common people of the place firmly believed, and to the evil reputation which they gave -it, wo were indebted for our spacious and comfortable quar ters. There we had spent, the short summer without any annoyance, how ever. from our ghostly felloinmates in the deep vaults. We hail some times, indeed, heard strange noises and rumblings, and also . a clanking sound, which a strong imagination might have converted into of chains, such as figure not iinfee quently in the most v •, approved t host stories; but as no ineinher et our fam- ily was poisessed • of. Enneli imagina tion, we were alt, content to attribute these sounds ,to the rats, who wereof ten visible. and remarkably large and contented-loOking. There had been shown to us, also, accordingly to the • usual 'custom in cases of haunted houses, spots of blood nn the floor of one of the - unnsed attic rooms, which it was related, had always returned More vividly after any attempt to re move them by scrubbing or other means; butt when one of the gentle men of the family took a plane from the tool-chest, and planed away the obnoxous stains, the last traces of the spirits seemed to have been removed. As I was at that period full of youth and spirits, I especially enjoyed the severe beauty of the season ; and of ten, before going to rest, I would throw open the shutter of the double glass window, and gaze out upon the night; so calm, so bright, so cold.— And so, cheerfully and comfortably, thanks to good fires and constant oc cupation, we were draWing near to the merry time of Christmas, and were busily preparing to celebrate it with the usual feasting and gaiety, when our arrangements were • much impeded by the unaccountable cir cumstances of Oar servants, one after another, giving us .warnThg that they intended to leave us, wit:bent assign ing any other reason than that they could not stay or did not wish to stay. We 'ivied every Means to incluce them to remain, inquiring most artiestly into the cause of the dissatisfaetien i but to no purpose. I should, haVe marked, that we had most positively prohibited all converAation on the Sub . Ject of ghosts, for fear of alarming I the children, Or silly housemaids; but now it eecame necessary to inquire, with. assumed gravity, if any annoy ance haS been offered by the spec tres. Then all tongues were unloos ed, and the great mystery revealed. The ghost had been seen,_ and was to be seen, every night; 'and, strange to say, not in the house—whence our ir reverent conduct had, no doubt, driv en him—but outside, round about the dwelling and gardens wandering in the moonlight, regardless of the ex cessive cold, parading from nightfall till the dawn. To this statement both the men and maid-servants firmly ad hered; no reasoning, no persuasion, could he of any avail to convince them to the-contrary. Now, howev er ridiculous we Might think the sto ry, the effects, at rell'at, were not ri diculous • on the,9ontrary, quite se rious. ire endeavored, therefore, to calm the excitement bY promising to 6eri 'the doors fast bolted after night fall, to prevent the ghost from enter ing; and not, to send out on any er-- rand, after that time, any of their -number; and.finally, by offering in creased wages, we induced the elder ones to remain. The ghost, I was told, had been visible-for about a week;- and I was very anilous, - for my part, to make his acquaintance..

A gentleman and , his , wife some time since settled .in ;Rockford; shortly after their arrival they'inade, among others the acquaintance - of a young and beautiful widow, who :had the reputation' of being' a great ilk. The gentleman, up to this, time, bad been a most devoted htisband, and though there seemed to be a Inutile] attraction between himself and the gay widow whenever they met, the wife; confident . of his affection, sus pected nothing. Matters : progressed, how rapidly she did - net :know, until the beginning 7 of this_ week, when husband, - wife and. widow. Were i twit, ed to tea at the house of a friend.— It was an agreeable social party, and the company were apparently enjey ing themeelves highlyovhen the wife who-had been chattingl; with' friends on the piazza, entered the parlor and seated herself in the shadow oft a window, the heavy .damask curtains of which separated : her from a tete-a tete which stood in. , a recess. • The parties... -occapying the 'Jett. a-tete were her husband -ada 'the 'fascinating widow; and what was-her astonish ment - when their low tones' became fully 'audible to her strained , ears ' :to find that they were arranging the preliminaries for an el apemen t to. take .place that very night I Mittters - were to be arranged so that the wife shopki be sent home early in the „ntent'ng, while the husband in the .most natu ral manner i ia,the world, would offer to drive tion i le• the beautiful widow.-- Instead of going home ' however, they were to go immediately in to the cars, and - leave on the eleven 'tido& train. The discovery .was so unexpected and the shock so great, that the poor wife almost -fainted. She was de termined; however, not to 'betray her knowledge , of the guilty scheme un til the proper, time same,..and recov ? ering herself, 'glided from • the fatal seat, and tried to enter into conversa tion as usual. Of coarse she was not greatly surprised When' her husband shortly afterwards affectinnately ad vised her to go home with Mr, and who, 'Sy eiT., going - that way as..he himself had.to go.to Ins °Mee shortly, and might be detained till late. She made no objection,.but put ting on her bonnet and bidding adieu to her, entertainers, 'started for,hoine, to the great relief of the guilty cou ple who had feared some trouble in getting rid of . her. Immediately on arrivin_g,at lime, the wife proceeded to pack a carpet bag with a pair of shirts and other necessaries,-and star ted on foot for the ]louse-Where her husband still remained. She hid her self not long. .Soon her husbandand the widow exchan fed goodnight with their hostess, th'e' 'latter remarking in a lively tone that she should 'certain ly tell his wife.' They 'seated them selves comfortably in the vehicle,. When the wife, without bonnet or shawl, suddenly walked to the side,of the carriage and said, qttietly, at the same time holding up the carpet bag: don't go Without your shirts, 7)• mercy knows When you will ;get any more The blank astonishment of the enro may be imagined.
