Nothing now was left but the
Shadow, and on that my eyes were
intently fixed, till again, eyes grew
out of the shadow—maiignant, ser
pent. eyes. And the bubbles of light
again arose and fell, and in their dis
ordered, Irregular, turbulent maze,
mingled with the wan moonlight.
And now from these globules them
-selves, as from the shell of an egg,
'monstrous - things burst out; the air
gre,w Vied with them ; lavrm 'so
`bloodless and so hideous iet I can in
'no way , describe them except to re

'which the solar microscope brings be
fore his eyes in a drop of venter—
things transparent, supple, ,agile '
chasing each-ether, devouring each
other—forms like-naught ever-beheld
by the naked eye. As the- shapes
were without symmetry, to their
movements were without ,order. In
their very vagraoies there was no
spurt ; they-came round and round,
'thicker and faster and swifter,
swarming over my head, crawling o
ver my hand, crawling over my right
arm, which was outstretched in in
voluntary command against all evil

bands touched me, ~ ; o nce. .1 felt the
clutch as of cold soft fingers at my
throat. 1 was still , equally conscious
that if :I give way to fear I should be
in bodily peril; and, I concentrated
.al.l my faculties in the single focus of
stabbern will. And I turned my
eight hem the Shadow,—above all
from those serpent eyes—eyes that
bad - now become distinctly visible.
:For there, though in nought else a
round me, 1 was aware there was a
WILL, and a will of intense, creative
working evil, which might cru,sh
down my own.
The pale atmosphere in the room
`began now to redden as if in the air
'of some near conflagration. The lar
wo grew lurid as things that live in
fire. Again the room vibrated ; a
gain were heard the three measured '
knotter; and again all thillik .ere
-swallowed up in the darknedlillef the
-dark Shadow, as if out of that dark 7
mess all had come, into that-darkness
all returned.
As the gloom receded, the ShadoW
was wholly gone. Slowly as it had
been withdrawn, the flame, grew a-:
gain into the candies on the table, a-'
gain into the fuel in the grate. The
'whole room came once more calmly,
healthfully into sight.
The two doors were still closed,
the door co.mmanicating with the
servant's room still looked. In the
corner of the wall,into which be bad
so convulsively niobed - himself, lay,
the dog. I. called him—no move
'meta ; I approached—the animalwaS
dead ; his eyes protruded; his tongue
.out ot his mouth ; the froth gathered
around his jaws. I took him in my
arms; I brought to the fire ;
felt acute grief for the loss of my
poor iavorite—acute. self reproach ; I
accused myself of his death ; I
lned he had died of fright.. But what.
was my surprise on finding : that his.

Another suTprising - circumstance- 7
my watch was restored •to the `table
from which it had so mysteriously
withdrawn ; but it had stopped at
the very moment it was so with
drawn; nor, despite all the skill
,of
the watchmaker, .has it ever gone
since—that is, it will go in a strange
erratic way tor a few hours, and thoa
,comes to a dead stop—it is . Worth•
less,
nothing more chanced for the rest
of the night. Nor, indeed, had I long
to trait before the dawn broke. Not
till k was broad daylight did I quit
the haunted house. Before I did so,
I revisited the little blind room in
which my servant and myself had
been for w time imprisoned. I bad a
- strong irdpression—for which I could
not nom u n t—th at from that 'MOM
had originated the mechanism of the
phenomana—lf I may use the term—.
whieh had been experienced in my
chamber. And though I entered it
now in the clear day, with the sun
peering through the filmy window, I
still felt, as I stood on its floor, the
creep of the horror which I had first
there experienced the night before,
And which had been BO aggravated by
what had passed in my own chamber.
I could not, indeed, bear to staymore
than half-a minute within those walls.
I descended the stairs, and again I
heard the footfall beiore me; and
when I opened the street door, I
thought I could distinguish -a very
low laugh. I gained my own home;
expecting to find my runaway ser
vant there. But he had not present
ed himself ; nor did I hear 'More of
him for three days, when I' - received
a letter from him, dated from Liver
pool, to this effect :
4,0, 300 , RED humbly entreat your par
don, though, r oan scarcely hope that you will
think I deserve It, unless—which Hearse for
bid I—you saw what I did, I feel that It will
be years before I oan recover myself; and ea to
being fit for service, It is out of the question. I
am therefore going to my brOther-in-law at
Melbourne. The ship sails to morrow. Per.
baps the long voyage may set me up. I do
nothing now but start and tremble, and fancy it
Is behind me. I humbly beg you, honoured sir,
to order my clothes, and whatever woges are
due to me, to he sent to my mother, at Vf alsroitb
..--Jobn knows her address."
The letter ended with additional
apologies, somewhat Incoherent, and
explanatory details as tO,sgeofs that
j) ad been under the writer's charge.
.• This /tight may perhaps warrant ,a
*espial** that the man wished to go
to Australia, and .had been somehow
or other fraudulently mixed up with
the events of the night. I say no
thing in refutation of that conjecture '
•
rather, I suggest It as onetbat would
seem to many persons the most pro
bable solution of improbable occur
rences. My own theory remained
unshaken. Z rlituined in the evening
to the -house; to 'bring away in a hack

my poor dog's body. in this task f

that still, on ascending and descend
ing the stairs, I beard the same foot
fall in advance. On leaving the house,
I went to Mr. J--'s.'He was at
home. I returned him the keys, told
him that my curiosity was 'sufficient
ly gratified, and was about to relate
quickly what, had passed, when he
stopped me, and said, though with
much politeness, that he had no long

in
a mystery which

THE DESTRUCT lON OF CHAMBERSBURG,
CHAMBERSBURG, Atlg. 1, 1864.
On Friday evening last infortna•
tion was received here that a Rebel
force, whose slumbers were unknown,
was at Mercershurg, seventeen miles
southwest of this place. Of courise
no one know their destination ; and,
althdugh it was feared they might
come teChambersburg our citizens
a,
were n very greatly aiarnsed, and
most ref them slept soundly and con
tentedly through the night. To
wards morning some scouts came in
and reported that the Rebels bad sr
rived at St. Thomas, a village seven
miles west of Chambersburg, on, the
turnpike leading 'to Pittsburg , Ups.
on the receipt, of this information, say
about two o'clock in the morning, a
company of infantry and two pieces
of'artillery—the whole force at the
"Headquarters of the Department of
the Susquebanoar—were sent out on
an eminence about a mile from the
westernF boundary of the town. Here
they halted and fired two rounds in
to the darkness in front of them, and i
then retreated to town, apparently
frightenedit the sound of their .own'
guns, as no enemy pursu r ed them.—
Perhaps a.n hour 'latex, and just about
day-break, tho slebel& arrived , on the
same eminence and looked doWn on
the town,- which -wee. just becoming
visible through the gray dawn.--
Pau,einig-until gat Elecalsse light enough
far .them disringtsish objects in the
town, they sent a shell at the splen
'did school-house standing. one square
northeast of the centre of the town.
This school-house, i'tmay be worthy
•of remark; was'used as a hospital for
Wounded , Rebele:after the battle' of
GettylahArg, and in it hundreds ofthe

of men less 'devilish than those under

The shell, if directed itt the •schedl--
house, which formed a prominen-V
'inark, was well aimed. it.fell in the
garden of A. 11. 'Newman, about third
ty- Yards short of the `school-house,
but right in lime with it. The 'Shell
is unexploded, and is now in Mr.
Newman's possession. .Another was
fired in 41 short 'time r and is said to
have passed through one or two
buildings on a .swell of ground -just
within the western limits of the bor
ough:- The first shell traveled through
the.air'about a mile and a half before
it fell, and the second struck. insideof
a mile.
No response was made from the
town. The enemy, consisting of
mounted infantry and cavalry to the
number of perhaps four or five hun
dred, then advanced to the suburbs of
the town. Hero the .•: infantry w - ere
dismountedend thrown out -as skir

Squads of cavalry kept pace with'
them, and seemingly , in a. few Min ,

Some few citizens• on thestreets were
picked up and premed as guides, and
at the peril of their lives were order

goods could be obtained. They rang
the Court House hell and ordered the
citizens to meet, arid when some had

ing•forward sapplies, which are now
as welcome to the man who was 'a
few days ago worth his fifty thou
sand dollars, as 'to him who never had
a week's wages ahead:
It being impossible to provide shel
ter of any -sort for one-half of those
thus rendered homeless in an hour,
several thousand of the sufferers have
gone off to other towns. Most of
them would soon return if they could
find roofs to cover them, and all who
are able would begin to rebuild as
soon as workmen and 'material could
be got, if they felt any confidence
that they would hereafter have the
protection which is so clearly due to
them, but wh inh: has heretofore been
most unaccountably withheld.
