I reached the door, however, swiftly and quietly opened it, and just got J outside in time to see the old gentleman 1 open his door, with a candle in his hand, and come hurrying up tho stairs. Not a moment was to be lost. There was a wardrobe near where I stood, and I sprang behind it. Up came the 'governor,' reach ed the door, opened it, and in the mean time there was all sorts of confusion and inquiry down stairs as to what was the matter. Nobody else came up, though, and from where I stood I heard every word of inquiry and .explanation in the room. Of course they could'nt make much out of it. The little darkey was too much frightened and two sound asleep at the time to understand the truth, and the upshot of tbe business was that they concluded she had been dreaming, and the 'gover nor' after giving her a sound spanking, and explaining the matter to tho aroused neighbors, from the window ; went down to bis room again. "So far, so good.

I had.gotten nearly to the bottom, when a little fiste dog came trotting up the entry towards me, yelling furiously. A surpressed 'Come here, sir, you Zip,' si lenced him for he recognized me ; but the fiste started the mockingbird, and tho dogs in the ucighborhood having learned to take the cue, of course all joined the chorus for the third time.
