His body was found :Marty fifty yards 'below the fall, caught in the low branches of the trees that..oerhang the . water at the foot Of ..the track .down -the cliff.' It' was shockingly ht.:cased-and disfigured, so Much so as to be hardly recognizable; but for hie clothing , and the name-on his-linen, I doubt Whether body. could have identified-him Exceet . myself: There was, however, no sus - pie:oil of foul. play; the signs of rough usuage might. all have been caused by . the body having 'been' driven about among the stones that %encumber the bed of the river a long Way below the fall. . • Whera speak of thefall, I speak of the Ashenfall, by Ashendell village, within an hour's drive of this house. This gen tlemen, is for the information of strangers: fke:had been seen by many persons about the village .during the day ; I my self had seen him go up the hill past the flarsonage toward the church: Which I rather wondered at, considering who was buried there, and how, and why. • I will even confess that I watched him; and he went—as I eipecteckbeirould; since-he had.the.heart to gr&near the place atall— round to the back 'of the church where Honor Livingston's grave isT and there he_ staid, sitting by himself ow-the low 'wall for an. hour or more. Sometimes, he turned to look across the Valley- r many a. time and soft I have seen hinrthere before, With Honor beside him, watching, while ho sketched the beautiful lancli.:cape—; And sometimes lie had his back to it, and his head down, as if lie were Watching her grave. Not that there is anything pleas ant or comfortable to read' there, as on the graves of good Christian people who 'have died: in their beds; for, being a sui cide, When they buried her ow-the north-, side of the church it was duik, and with out any• service, and, of course no atone. I was allowed to he put up over it.. Our clergyman has talked . of having the Monad leveled and tufted over, and I wish , he would; it always hurts me ,When I go up. to Sunday service, to see that ragged grave lyinw . in the shadow of the wall, for rentemthe , pretty' little lass ever since, she - Could run alone; and though she was passionate, her heart was as good as. gold. She had been religiously brought up, and ,„I am quite sure hi my own mind, let the coroner's inquestirave said what ' it would, that she was out of herself and Bedlam-mad when she did it. The' verdict on hint. was " accidental ; - . death," and he had a regular funeral= priest, *priest, bell, clerk and sexton, complete; and there lie liesonly- a stone's throw from Honor, with a ton or two of granite' over him, and an inscription, setting forth what a great man lie was in hit day, and what mighty engineering works he did at liomu and atioad; and how he sleeps now fir the hope of a jOyful 'resurrection with the just made perfect. These present strangers eawipadit fon:theinseives; and many strangers go to look at it.

I was solnuCh bewildered and out Of myself, as it were, that for . a. while I could neither think' of anything, not hear anything brit the mad - heavy throbing- of, my own pulses. I cannot Say that I was seared: (xactly for the time 1., was completely wraptnway ; the first• actual sensation I had was of my own heart thumping iu my breast like a sledge z hammer. can call her up now and analyze .her -L-a wan, vague, Misty outline, With Honor's owit . eyes full - upon me. I can almost fancy I hear her asking again "Is it true you're going,,James? You're not really going,;James ?" • Now I am not the man to be frightened by a shadow - thoughthat shadow be Honor Livingston, whoni they say I as good as Murdered. I always had a 'turn for in _Vestigating riddles, spiritual, physiological, and otherwise; and I shall follow this' MyStery up, and note whether she conies back to me year by year, as she promised. I have never !kept a diary of personal Matters before, not being one -who cares to see specters of himself at remote pe riods of his life, talking to hitn again of his adventures and misaventures, out of yellow -old .pages that had better never been written; but this is a marked event-- Worth commemorating, and a well-mithen tiCated ghost-story to me who never be lieved in ghosts before. . It was rather . a spiteful threat of Honor haunt yon till you come to Ashen where lam going now!:' 'I might have stopped her, but it never -entered My mind what she meant until it was Tdid not expect she would-make a, tragedy of a :little love story ; she did not look like that sort \of thing.

Yes; I know; I need tell no lies here, I need not do any falseswearing to myself—the poor little creature loved rife, and I petted and plagued herinto loving roe, because I was Ole and I had 'the opportunity; and then Thad nothing better to tell her than that I was only lii jest—l could .not marry her for I was engaged to another woman. She would not believe it: That sounded, to her, more like jest than the other. And she did not believe it Until she saw me _Making ready to go; and then all ,in a Moment, I suppose the madness seized her, and she neither ,knew.- where she Went nor what she did. I thncy I can see her now come tripping down the field leading deer little _brother by the hand, and I fancy I can see the saucy laugh she gave me over her shoul der as I asked her itglie had any ripe 'Cherries to fell. She looked the very mischief with those pretty eyes, and I was , taken rather aback when 'know you Jemmy tawience."" That was the beginning •of it. Little Honnr and her mother lived next door to mine, and She had not forgotten me though I had been seven years. away_ I did not know her, ibe. gipsey, but I must needs go in and see.. her at evening; and so we went On until I aSked her if she mum! - bered . when we tt ent to dame-selionlyto gether, and wheifshe promised to_ be my little wife?, If she remembered! Of course she did, every word of it; and more ; and she was so , pretty, and tIM lanes in the Summer were so pleas / alit that some times my fancy...did. sday Anne Dalton false, and I believed I shinild :Honor better; and I said more ‘ than meant,and 100 too it all in grand , seriaus man ner, I was not !OA to 1:lamo.

Had little Honor been a fine lady she would have been 'living still.. Oh, the pretty demure lips, and the sly glances and rosy blushes! When _I saw Anno. Dalton to-day I could not help compar ing her-'rigid gentility with poor Honor. Anne lOves herself better than she ever will love any man alive. But then I knOw ' she is the kind of wife to help, a man up in the world, and that is the kind of Wife for me. _ , Honor Livingston lying on her little bed, and her blind mother feeling her 'cold, - dead face! I wish I had never seen it. I would have given the world to 'keep 'away, Vutsomething compelled me'to go And look at her; and I did feel then asif I had killed - her.. Last night . sbe was a shadowy essence of this. drowned Ophelia And of her living self.

I had forgotten the day—for. • 'gotten everything about that .wretched business of poor Honor Livingston, when -,last night I saw her. Anne and. I were, sitting together out in the veranda, talking ef all sort of em plane ~things—oar neighbors' affairs, money, this ; that, and the other—the sea was looking beautiful, and I Was on the point of proposing a row-by moonlighl 4 when Anne said, , How lovely,tbe .even - lags are, James, in this place ! Look at sky - over •AIM down, how clear it ,is !" Turning my head, I'saw Honor standing on the grass only a few ; paCeS off, her shadowy shape quite distinct against the reds and purples , of the clouds. - Annie clutched my hand with a sudden cry, for 'she 'was' looking - at my facd all tke. time, and asked mo - paqionately what. I saw. ; With that Honor. was, gone, and passing - imy hand over my eyes ; I 'put my wife 011 with an excuse about a spasm at my heart. And, indeed, it was no lie to say so, for thii*isitatiOn ga've me a dread ful shock. . . - Annie insisted on my seeking the doc tor, ."It must he something dreadful; if not daverous, that could make you look in that way ; you hp 4 nu itivful FaCe, James, for a moment. . ~ . .

He said he would talk to Me liyand-b.y. And when he got me by myself, I cannot tell bow it- was, but he absolutely contrived to worm the facts out of me, and 'I., was fool enough to let him do it. e looked at me very oddly, - with a sort of 'auspicious scrutiny in his eye; but I understood him, and said, laughing, "No, doctor, no, there is noth. ing. wrong hefe, tapping my forehead. . . "I - should say not, except thiii fancy. for seeing ghosts," replied he dryly. BLit I perdrives.l, all the time he was with me, that I. was the object of a furtive and carefully .dissentbled observation, which was excessively trying. I could with difficulty keep my temper under it, aod. I believe he saw the struggle. , - I fancied he wanted to have sonic talk with Antie - by herself, but prevented that -by 1" never 'losing sight of -him until he was safely off the premises. Mlle' pro posed a ;private interview •whilel was out alone, I prevented that, too, by imme diately: ordering Anne to pack up our traps, and coining back to - town that very day. I iltaVe not been well since. I feel . out of :spirits, bored, worried, sick, of everything.

LomioN, August 29,1830 This wretched • state of things . does not cease: One day I feel in full, firm, clear possession of my soul, and the next, per haps, lam hurried to and fro with the most tormenting fancies. I see shado3l, of Honor wherever I turn and she is tiO lon ,, er motionless as before, but beckons inc P with her hand until I tremble in ever r'f limb. My heart is'tiick'almost to /lath. Foi=three days now I have had no' rest. Icannot sleep at nights-forhideous dreains; and Anne watches me stealthily, I / see, and never remains alone with m / e/longer than, she can help. I can, pevetve that she is afraid of me, and thatshe. suspects something, without exactly knowing, what.. To -day she thus /nears suggest my seeing a doctor here,' and when I re plied that I was going/ , fC) South America, she told me I WOa fit for it, in such a contemptuous one of provocation that I lifted my hat a and struck \ lier: Then she quailed, / a / nd while : shrinking under my eye, she said, "James, your 'conduct is that Of /a madman!" Since thettl know she sitiewith me in silent terror, longing to escape and find some one to listen to her o•rievances. But I shall keep strict, • ,ward that she does nothing of, the. kind. I will.not lave anv foes of m yowil house hold, no spying relatives shall come between - us to put asunder those whom_ God has joined together.
