The Longest Night in a Life.
BY CHARLES DICKENS.
It was one •of those old-fashioned
winters in the days of the Georges when
the snow lav on the ground for weeks,
when railways were uuknowu, and the
electire telegraph had not been dreamed
of save by the speculative Countess of
London.? The'mails had been irregular
for a month, and the letter bags which
did not/reach the Post Office had been
brought thither with difficulty. The
newspapers were devoid of all foreign
intelligence, the metropolis knew nothing
of the' doings of the provinces, and the
provinces knew little more ot the affairs of
the metropolis. But the columns of both
were crowded with accidents from the
inclemency of the weather, with heart
rending accounts of starvation aud desti
tution, with.jfonderful escapes of adventur
ous travellers and still more adventurous
mail-coachmen and guards. Business was
almost at a standstill, or was only oarried
on by fits and starts ; families were made
uneasy by the frequent long silence of
their absent members, and the poor were
suffering great misery from cold and
famine.

before she knew where she was, she found
herself in a large hall, brilliantly lighted
by a blazing wood fire. Numbers of rosy,
glowing, childish faces were gathered
round her, numbers of bright eager eyes
were gating curiously upon her, kindly
hands were busied in removing her wraps,
and pleisant voices welcomed her and
congratulated her on her escape.
‘ Ay, ay, Mary,’ said her host, address- !

voice exclaimed* I We all say at llawtree i

I ‘ Atherton ! llawtree !’ repeated Miss
Stirling, in some amazement, aud uttered
in that familiar voice, ‘Ellen,. Elleu (

A joyful exclamation and a rush into
her arms was the youug girl’s reply to this
questiou, as she cried:
4 Uncle Atherton, Aunt Mary, don’t
you know your old friend Miss Stirling V
Mrs. Atherton fixed her soft blue eyes
on the stranger, in whom she could at first
scarcely recognize the bright haired girl
whurn she had not seen for eighteen or
twenty years, but by and by she satisfied
herself that, though changed, she was
Elleu Stirling still, with the same sunny
smile and the same laughing eyes that had
made every one love her iu their school
days. Heart-felt indeed were the greet
ings which followed, and cordial the
j welcome Mrs. Atherton gave her old
: friend as she congratulated herself on
I having dear Ellen under her own roof;
more especially as she owed this good
fortune to Mr. Atherton’s exertions in
rescuing her.
4 It is the merest chanoe, too, that he is
at home at present,’ she said, 4 he ought
to have been in Scotland, but the state of
the roads in this bleak country has kept
him prisoner here for weeks.’ 4 And
others as well,’ Ellen Middleton added ;
« but both children and grown people are
only too thankful to have so good an
excuse for staying at Belfield.’ And then
laughing, she asked Aunt Mary how she
meant to dispose of Miss Stirling for the
night, fur the house was as full already as
it could bold.’
4 0 ! said her aunt,’ 4 we shall manage
very well. Belfield is very elastic.’
She smiled as Blie spoke; hilt it struck
Miss Stirling that the question was,
nevertheless, a puzzling one, so she took
the first opportunity of entreating her to
take no trouble on her account, a chair by
the fire was really all the accommodation
she cared for, as she wished to be in
readiness to pursue her journey as soon as
the coach could proceed.
4 We shall be able to do better for you
than that, Ellen,’ Mrs. Atherton answered
cheerfully. 4 I cannot, it is true, promise
you a state-room, for every bed in the
house is full; and 1 know you will not
allow any one to be moved for your con
venience, but 1 have one chamber still at
your service, which, except in one respect,
is comfortable enough.’
4 Haunted, of oourse!’ said Miss Stir
ling, gaily.
4 Good night.’

used to be here more frequently than of

when the house is full, but as it is detached

LANCASTER CITY, PA., TUESDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 20, 1859.
lay od tbe dressing table, and read some
portions of the New Testament.
When she laid down the book, she took
out the comb that fastened up her long,
dark silken tresses —iu which, despite her
five and-thirty years, not a silver thread
was visible—and,-as she arranged them
for the night, her thoughts strayed back
to the old world memories, which her
meeting with Mary Atherton had revived.
The sound of the clock striking two was
the first thing that recalled' her to her
present life. By this time the candles
were burned down almost to the socket,
and the firo was dying fast. As she
turued to fling a fresh log into the grate,
her eyes fell upon the dressing glass, and
in its reflection she saw, or fancied she
( saw, the bed-curtaius move.
I She stood for a moment gazing at the
1 mirror, expecting a repetition of the
movementbut all was still, and she
blamed herself for allowing nervous fears
to overcome her. Still it was an exertion,
even of her brave spirit, to approach the
bed arid withdraw the curtains
rewarded by finding nothing save the bed-
clothes folded neatly down, as if inviting
her to press the-suow-white sheets, and a
luxurious pile of pillows, that looked most
tempting. She could not resist the mute
invitation to rest her wearied limbs.
Allowing herself no time for further
doubts or fears, she placed her caudle on
the mantel piece, and stepped into bed.
She was very tired, her eyes ached with
weariness, sleep seemed to fly from her.
Old recollections thronged on her memory,
thoughts connected with the business she
had still to get through haunted her, and
difficulties that had not occured to her
till now, arose up before her. She was
restless and feverish ; and the vexation of
feeling so, made her more wakeful. Per
haps if she were to olose the curtains
between her and the fire she might be
better able to sleep—the flickering light
disturbed her, and moon-beams stealing
between the window curtains oast ghostly
shadows on the wall. So, she caretully
shut out the light on that side, and
turned again to sleep. Whether she had
or had not quite lost consciousness she
could not well remember, but she was
soon thoroughly aroused by feeling the
bed heave under her. She started up,
and awaited with a beating heart a repeti
tion of the movement, but it did not come.
It must have been a return ot the nervous
fancies which had twice assailed her
already that night. Laying her head
once more on the pillow, she determined
to control her groundless terrors.
Again she started up ! This time there
could be no doubt, the bed had heaved
more than once, accompanied by a strange
gurgling sound, as if ot a creature in pain.
Loaning on her elbow, she listened with
that intensity of fear which desires, almost
as much as it dreads, a recurrence of fhe
sound that caused it. It came again, fol-
lowed by a loua rattling noise, as if some
heavy body were dragged from under the
bed in the direction of tbe fire. What
could it be ? She longed to call out for
help, but her tongue clove to the roof of
her mouth, and the pulses iu her temple
throbbed until she felt as if their painful
beating sounded in the silence of the
night like the loud ticii of a clock.
The unseen thing dragged itself along
until it reached the hearth rug, where it
flung itself down with violence. As'it did
so, she heard the clank of a chain. Her
breath came less painfully as she heard it,
for it occurred to her that the creature
might be nothing worse than the house
dog, who having broken bis chain, had
sought shelter beneath the bed in her
warm room, liven this notion was disa
greeable enough, but it was nothing to the
vague terror which had hitherto oppressed
her. She persuaded herself that if she lay
quiet no harm would happen to her, and
the night would soon pass over. Thus
reasouing she laid herself down again.
By-and-by the creature began
and it struck her feverish fancy fhat the
snoring was not like that of a dog. After
a little time, she raised herself gently, and
with trembling hands drew back an inch
or two of the curtain, and peeped out,
thinking that any certainty was better
than such terrible suspense. She looked
towards the fire place, and there sure
enough, the huge creature lay —a brown,
hairy mass, but of what shape it was impos
sible to divine, so fitful was the light, and
strangely was it coiled up on the hearth
rug. By and by, it began to stretch it
self out, to open its eyes, which shone in
the flickering ray ot the fire, and to raise
its paws above its hoary 'head.
G-ood G-od ! Those are not paws ! They
are human hands ! And dangling from
the haDg fragments of broken
chains.
A chill of horror froze: Ellen Stirling’s
veins, as a flash of the expiring fire showed
her thus dearly —far too- olearly—and the
oonviction seized upon her mina that she
was shut up with an escaped conviot.—
An inward invocation to Heaven for aid
rose from her heart, as with the whole
force of her intellect she endeavored to
survey the danger of her position, and to
think of the most persuasive words she
could use to the man into whose power she
had so strangly fallen. For the present,
however, she must be still, very still ; she
must make no movement,to betray herself;
and perhaps he might overlook her pres
ence until daylight came, and with it pos
sible help. The night must be far spent;
she must wait and hope.
She had not to wait long. The oreature
moved again—stood upright—staggered
towards the bed. For one moment —one
dreadful moment —she saw his face, his
pale pinched features, his flashing eyes,
his black bristling hair, but, thank (rod !
he did not see her. She shrunk behind
the curtains; he advanced to the bed
slowly, hesitatingly, and the clanking
sound of the broken chains fell menaoingly
on her ear. He laid his hands upon the
curtains, and for a few moments fumbled
to find the opening. The moments were
all in all to Ellen Stirling. Despair shar
pened her senses; she found that the
other side of the bed was not Bet bo close
against the wall but she could pass be
tween. Into the narrow space between
she contrived to slip noiselessly.
She hadTbarely accomplished the diffi
cult feat, and sheltered herslf behind the
curtains, when the oreature flung itself on
the bed, and drawing the bed-clothes
around him, uttered a sound more like the
whinnying of a horse than the laugh of a
human being.
For some little time, Miss Stirling stood
in her narrow hiding place, trembling with
cold and terror, fearful lest some unguard-
ed movement should betray her, and bring § 1 M ° N at law,

Very oautiously she attempted the peril
ous experiment \ her bare feet moved
noiselessly across the floor, and a ‘friendly
ray of moonlight guided her safely towards
the window. As she put out her hands
towards the curtains, her heart gave a
fresh bound of terror, fpr it came in con
tact with something soft and warm. At
length, however, she remembered that she
had flung down her fur cloak in that spot,
and it was a meroy to find it now, when
she was chilled to the bone. She wrap
ped it around her and reached the window
without further adventure, or any alarm
from the occupant of the bed, whose heavy
regular breahting, gave assuranoe that he
was now sound asleep. This was some
comfort, and she greatly needed it. The
lookout from the window was anything but
inspiring. The stars still shone peacefully
on the sleeping earth; the moon still
showed her pallid visage j not a sight or
sound presaged dawn ; and after long lis
tening in vain for any sign of life in the
outer world, she heard the stable- clock
strike four.
She was
Only four !
She felt as if it were impossible to sur
vive even another hour of terror such as
she had just passed through. Was there
no hope ? None.
She tried to support herself against the
window frame, but her first touch oaused
it to shake and creak in a manner that
f ‘seemed to her startlingly loud; she fan
cied that the creature moved uneasily on
its bed at the sound. Drops of agony fell
from her brow as minute after minute wore
heavily on ; ever and anon a rustle of the
bed clothes, or a slight clink of the mana
cled hands, sent a renewed chill to her
heart.
The clock struck five.
Still all without was silent. Suddenly,
a man’s whistle was heard in the court,
and the driver of the mail coach, lantern
in hand, crossed the yard towards the
pavilion. Would to Hod she could call
to him, or in any way attract his atten
tion j but she dared not make the slight
est sound. He looked up at the window,
against which he almost brushed in pass
ing *. and the light he had flashed on Miss
Stirling’s crouching figure. He paused,
looked again, and seemed about to speak,
when she hastily made signs that he
should be silent, but seek assistance iCt the
house. He gave her a glance of. intelli
gence and hastened away.
How long his absence seemed ! Could
he have understood her ? The occupant
of the bed was growing every instant
more and more restless; be was rising
from the bed ; he was groping round the
room. They would come too late, too
late !
But no ! steps in the courtyard—the key
turning in the lock —the door opens then
with a yell that rang in Ellen Stirling’s ear
until her dying day, the creature rushed
to her hiding place, dashed the slight win
dow frame to pieces, and finding himself
baulked of his purposed escape by the
strength of the iron bars outside, turned,
like a wild beast, on his pursuers. She
was the first on whom his glance fell. He
clasped her throat; his face was close to
hers; his glittering eyes were glaring at
her in frenzy—when a blow from behind
felled him.
She awoke from a long swoon to find her
self safe in Mrs. Atherton’s dressing room,
and to hear that no one was hurt but the
poor maniac, and that he was again in the
charge of his keepers, from whom he had
escaped a few hours before.
A few hours ! A life time, Mary !. But
Heaven be thanked, it is passed like a
wild dream.
It was not all past. One enduring effect
remained, ever after, to imprint on Ellen
Stirling’s memory, and on the memories
of all who knew her, the event of that
night. Such had been her suffering,
anxiety and terror, that in those few hours
her hair had turned as white as snow.
Sarcastic. —‘ Accept a look of .jny

handing her a large curl ( Sir you had

there—he can’t get any.’

PATENT AMBROTYPBS—ThfI sub
scribers having purchased the exclusive right of Lan
caster city, are enabled to offer to the public a new style of
Pictures, far exceeding, in beauty and durability, any ever
before made. These pictures are not reversed, as daguerreo
typesareand may be seen ln'anylight. They also possess the
rare property of being impebishadle; being hermetically
sealed between glass plates, whieh Is secured by otters
Patent, in the United States, Great Britain and France,
and practised in Lancaster city by T. <£ TP. CUMMINGS,
only, over Sprecher & Bro.’s New Store, North Queen st",
Lancaster.
EXPLANATION.
The term AMBROTYPE, by which these Pictures are
designated ; is derived from the Greek word Ambrotos, sig
nifying indestructibility, permanency, &c. The Picture 16
taken upon plate glass, to which another plate of corres
ponding size is secured with an Indestructible cement, by
which the picture will retain its original briliancy for
ages; it will not corrode by acids, nor bo injured by
water or climate. It is in its effect, beautiful in tone,
surpasses any thing in the gradations of light and shade,
and may be seen in any light. The public are cautioned
against imitations made on single plates of glass, with the
black varnish in Immediate contact with the Picture.—
Such are not permanent, as the varnish must crack and
destroy the Picture. „„„
AMBROTYPE STERESCOPES MUST BE SEEN,
to be appreciated—the relief being fully as perfect as lift.
Citizens and Strangers are invited to call at the Ambro
type Gallery of the undersigned, and examine specimens
before they procure Pictures elsewhere, as they are
Insured of polite attention.

LASTING GUANO, PRICE $4O PER TON-
Liberal discounts allowed according to the quantity pur

The practical results attending the use of this Guano
have been most remarkable, and from its permanent ao
tlon on the soli, it takes precedence over all others. Farm

is unlike some other Guanos which the consumer has
just begun to appreciate, when he is informed that the
“ deposit” is exhausted, or the price raised above his
ability or inclination to purchase. Upon this be may fully
rely, as to the fullness of the supply. The quantity on
“ Jarvis Island," alone, is believed to bo over Three iiu

These Machines sew from two spools, as purchased from.
the store, requiring no re-windlng of thread; they Hem,
Fell, Gather and Stitch in a superior style, finishing each
■Rum by their own operation, without recourse to the hand,
needle, as i 6 required by other machines. They will do
better and cheaper sewing than a seamstress earn, eren If
ghe works for one cent an hour, and are, unquestionably,
the best Machines in the market for family sewing, on Re
count of their simplicity, durability, ease of management,
and adaptation to all varieties of family sewing—executing
either heavy or fine woik with equal facility, and without
special adjustment.
As evidence of the unquestioned superiority of their Ma
chines, the Grover A Baker Sewing Machine Company beg
leave to respectfully refer to the following
TESTIMONIALS.
“Having had one of Grover A Baker’s Machines In my
family for nearly a year and a half, I take pleasure in com
mending it as every way reliable for the purpoee for which
it is designed—Family Sewing.”— Mrs. Joshua Leavitt, wife
of Rev. Dr. Leavitt, Editor of If. Y. Independent.
“I am delighted with your Sewing Machine, which has
been in my family for many months. It has always been
ready for duty, requiring no adjnstment, and is easily
adapted to every variety of family sewing, by simply
changing the spools of thread.”— Mrs. Elisabeth Strickland,
wife of Rev. Dr. Strickland , Editor New York Christian
Advocate.
“After trying several difierent good machines, I preferred
yours, on account of its simplicity* and the perfect ease
with which it is managed, as well as the strength and du
rability of the seam. After long experience, I feel comp*’
tent to speak In this manner, and to confidently reoommend
it for every variety of fau.ily sewing.”— Mrs. EL. B. Spooner,
wife of the Editor ofßrooklyn Star.
“I have used a Grover & Baker Sewing Machine for two
years, and have found it adapted to all kinds of family
sewing, from Cambric to Broadcloth. Garments have been
worn out without the giviug way of a stitch. The Machine
is easily kept in order, and easily used.” — Mrs. A. B. W A»J>-
pie, wife of Rev. Qeo. Whipple, New York.
“Your Sewing Machino has been in üßeln myfhmilythe
past two years, and the ladies request mo to give you their
testimonials to its perfect adaptedoess, as well as labor
saVing qualities in the performance of family and house
hold sewing."— Robert Boorman, New York.
“For several months we have used Grover A Bakers
Sewing Machine, and have cotb to the conclusion that
every lady who desires her sewing beautifully and mrickly
done, would bo most fortunate in possessing one or these
reliable and indefatigable ‘iron needle women,’ whose com
bined qualities of beauty, strength, and simplicity, are in
valuable.”—J- W. Morris, daughter of Qen. Geo.'P. Moms,
Editor of the Home Journal.
Extract of a letter from Thos. R. Leavitt,'Esq., an Amer
ican guutleman, now resident in New South Wales, dated
January 12, 1858:
“1 bad a tent made in Melbourne, In 1853, In which there
were over three thousand yards of sewing done with one
of Grover A Baker's Machines, and a single seam of that
has outstood all the double seams sewed by sailors with a
needle and twine.”
“If Homer could be called up from his murky hades, be
would sing the advent of Grover A Baker as a more benig
nant miraclo of art than was eTer Vulcan's smithy. He
would denounce midnight shirt-making as ‘the direful
spring of woes unnumbered.’” — Prof. North.
M I take pleasure in saying that the Grover A Baker Sew
ing Machines have more than sustained my expectation.—
After trying and returning others, I have throe of them in
operation iu my different places, and, after four years’ trial,
have no fault to H. Hammond, Senator of South
Carolina.
“My wife has had one of Grover A Baker’s Family Sewing
Machines for some time, and 1 am satisfied it is one of the
best labor-saving machines that has boon Invented. I take
much pleasure in recommending it to tho public.”—2. 0.
Harris , Governor of Tennessee.
“It is a beautiful thing, and puts everybody into an ex
citement of good humor. Wore I a Catholic, I should Insist
upon Saiuts Grover and Baker havlug an oternol holiday
in commemoration of their good deeds for humanity.”—
Cassius M. Clay .
-I think it by far the best patent in uso. This Machine
can be adapted from the finest cambric to the heaviest cas
aimore. It sews stronger, faster, and more beautifully than
one can imagine. If mine could not bo replaced, money
could not buy it.”— Mrs. J. G. Brown, Nashville, Tenn.

The subscriber having several hundred dollars of bills

it is hard for one man to fight a thousand, I take this
method of equalizing the expense, and hope all who have
Lancaster Buuk bills will immediately send them tome
for collection, for soon they will be worthless for the want
of attending to. It will cost from Five to Ten Thousand
Dollars to push the matter through the Courts. I want
parties to send me at tho rate of Five Dollars to the bon*
dred to pay Court charges, in good money, otherwise no
one can afford to enforce collection, and the poor bill holder
will lose all. Tho Bank failed November, 1856, and at this
date, August, 1859, it owes depositors slB3,ooo—owes out*
standing bills $175,000 —has several hundred stockholders
who are mostly wealthy, and can be made to pay, first the
bill holders and then the depositors. I also find the Bank
has about $50,000 owing it, which Is good, but they are
purchasing the bills at 10 cents to 16 cents on the dollar
to pay their notes with, and when they are all paid, there
will be no value to the bills, without it Is attended to as I
