DAxtroPZATAStrOlied down the long
iron-grey hair that fell massively Upon . the
shoulders of -Isis large-buttoned coat, and
spike_ thus: -,
- The qUestion was, Did he . throw. him
self over the cliff
,O set 'purpose, or did
he loose lie way in 'the.dulik and fall °vol.
accidently', or was . he -pushed over by
- some. person or persons unknown? .
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. His
grave is as lemons as the ASheufallitself,
and I have known folks come. away with
tears - in:their eyes after reading the flour
ishing, inscription; believing it all like.

tinguished a man' 'sliotild have been Cut
off in the prime of his days. But I ddn't
believe*. He was never any more than

fellow who,, as a lad, had paddled bare

of his luck and done, a clever thing or two

could have. sworn .to it, had 'I not seen

Month, ago. I could not take my eyes
Off her; and there she stood, as nearly as
I can tell,. a minute—Mit it May have been

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

a, tragedy of a :little love story ; she did
not look like that sort \of thing. She was
no ghost, bless her!: in the flesh, but as
round,•rosv, dimpled a little creature as
one would wish to .see; and what could
possess her to throwbersele over the fall,
Heaven only knows. Bah! 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!

little wife?, If she remembered! Of
course she did, every word of it; and more ;
and she was so , pretty, and tIM lanes in

Again ! 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.
. ~ . .
I begged her not to talk about it, as=
sured her that it was a thing of very rare
li
uccurre cc with me,- and that there was
'no - etre for - it.. - But .this did not pacify
her - land this morning no peace cntild be
had until Dr. Hutchinson could be sent
for and She liad given the old gentleman
her own account of me:. 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.

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.

day's close study 'without inconvenience:
There was nothing but miserable liver
to blame, and when that was set right all
m . y imaginary phantoms ' disappeared,

gradually for months, and that -there was
nothiiig at all 'extraordinary

her cowardly- malignity; would-have con
signed rue for life to a lunatic assylum.! -It
was limplehy Who saved me; and I
.‘havei
put hisiname down in my-will for a hand
