V .Said the aged woman, speaking rather to herself than to the fair sweet grand-child, who nes tled at her feet and looked up so earnestly into thn wrinkled fiee. "Yes, indeed I do. There's not a house in this whole village, nor Tor miles around but that to inn is haunted none, though so much as this. Haunted." continued she speaking so slowly that a sol emn emphasis seemed to rest on each letter, 'yes there are such things as haunted spi ts.' And then lie dropped her knitting, took off her glasses, wiped her eyes, aud leaning back iu her arm chair, seemed lott in a sad yet holy communion with the earlier passnge of life. . , , . It was a dark, stormy, winter's night. The wind howled fiercely around the old farm houso, drift it g the snow high on tho window sills, fastening it to the rough panels of the doors, sifting it through the crevices of tho mossy roof und hcuping it up like giants' graves all along the palhwuy throughout the garden. ' But in doors all was bright, and of it summer warmth. The hugo back-log had been dragged in ere twilight, and was now slowly dropping into eoals ; while the flames from the lighter wood, which every few nin ntes was cast on with so free a hand, bln;:ed high and ruddy, nnd cast n genial light, and glare in tho darkest corner, and scintillated on the time-darkened ceiling like polar lluslics on the midnight sky. ' It was one of those bitter nights that make the hearih-stono the bonniest spot on all the earth n night when the sheltered lift up their hearts in thanksgiving, when tho home-' less bow in supplication . a night when the children kneel before tho lire nnd read bright prophesies in the living fouls ; when tho aged draw their ch iirs yet nearer to the blaze und warm their sln'veri" memories ; u night when all turn their bncks to the darkness, their fa ces to the light. ' 1 It was a night to inaketrhost stories relish well do, grandmother teli one.' Tho head of thi xynug girl rested on the knees of the old lady, and. is the latter lost the thread of hordream and looked down, she could seo n enthusiastic eagerness pictured in tho bright blue eyes; a longing for some tulu of romance, that "dropping into her heart, should vivify its dormant passions. She hes itated a few moments, and then tenderly ca ressing tho one j et of her bosom, she said : 'I will tell you a story about a haunted hearth stono and Lizzie, ft will be no talc of fiction. The plot i drawn from living memories, the scene is laid here, here," 15nt her tremu lous voice quivered with added notes, and af ter a moment's stern but useless effort at self control, it burst in sobs so loud and wild that they rivalled the cries or the, winter wind, , . The young girl seemed not much frightened and spake no soothing words, but only clasped the Lund the had taken us, she asked iu the story, with a tighter grnsp.-T'he paroxysm did not continue long ; but, a it pussed away she rose, and turning her trembling stops to ward the dark) cold bedroom, aud going in closed the door, and was absent a long while. The tears M reamed down Lizzie' cheeks wm n leit nlonn, and it was evident that the aged relative hud some secret sorrow, vet which she mourned intensely. 'When she returned and aeain seuted herself In her usual chair, only drawinc it a little closer to thu fire, there was 6ncTi a caliu. beautiful, spirit ual look, expressed upotrlier countenance, that you could not but fancy sho hud conver sed with the angela.

I!nsiniuir to her husband, she shook his shoulders, saying, 'Wake up quick and listen.' llul friL'htenei . ho liimneU. unu came, nour setting, his stocking feet upon living coals J but his watchful wife, drawing . him off tho hearth, whispered, a little wildly, 'Li-ten now-1 don't you hear 7' ,-lIear what V said he. still halfasleep. 'Why. the sound like n child cryinir. ,. '1'liere now it goes ugain. Lo go lo the ilnor.' .The old man, now fully roused, stiMid with his hand to his ear, the right, one the left had K-en deaf for tminy a year. It's thu wind, w ife : don't you know it ? It is a fashion it has when it is cold. It wasn't the wind, said she, solemnly, with little nervous agitation vet visible in her face. '1 know the erv of tho wind: it never ni'il;es a sutiuil . I.ke that. . J here.; and she clung to him quivering like a dead leaf, 'don't you . hear it V He certainlv did hear Rome thing that sounded like the cry of a child ; and now, it did not die away, ns it had when his wife bad, noticed it, v.itlia finale sob, but lengthened into gcn-unia. Hut how it. could sound to near, or whence come, was a myste ry ;. for thu house then stood far n way fioin any other house;. but it was u child's cry, that was certain. 'I'll go and see." said hu summoning cour age to his somewhat faint heart, and he turned to the door. His wife followed close onu fast on his steps. As ho withdrew thu liltlu slip of wood that fastened tho latch there wasn't u b't or lock in the town. and opened the door n bundle so it seemed, though of what it was hard to guess, fell into thu room wit li a heavy, iifeless sound. Tho w ind blew a while sheet over it ere they could again fasten the latch. Half horror, half wond.-rst ruck, thev dragged the coarse blanket to the earth, and", unrolling it, discovered a woman nnd child ; the latter struggling to free itself from its many wrappers, nnd screaming with all its might ;, the former motionless as a corpse, with lips as ashy aud cheeks us sunken. A hull' hour's charity to the babe, who seemed to have seen a twelve month, completely re vived it ; nnd it lay on its pillow with it's Ut ile white feet stretched to the fire, as hapy as love could have made it, cooing us sweetly as though nestling on its mother's warm L.I soiu. lint it took lunger to bring back a pulse to its pah,' protector i und many times did thu good Samaritans turn from her. leav ing the sheet drawn over her as we cover a corpse, lint u sigh, so faint that it seemed a dying breath, at length encouraged them, and they applied re.-toratives until satisfied she would yet live. l!ut it was nianv a wearv ilnv ere she could leave her bed ; when at last .-lie stole from it. and sat up in the old lady's rocker, and lulled nor baby with old tongs, she seemed toiler watchers more like a spirit than a sick, sad stranger. But gradually, through their ten der nursing, she recovered strength, aud not only tended her child, but assisted the old huly in many of her domestic duties. But she said very little less than they could have wished ; for in their hearts they longed to know her story. They knew she was a sinner. knew it ny tho meek penitent way in which she hunglier head when they rend the Bible, nt uiorii and night ; knew it by tho stained face she raised to tlieist after each prayer. But they loved her all the more, or r.ithor were all the kinder to her. Aud though slie revived memories that it was agony to bear, they folded her lo their affections, s they would their own lust lamb, had she not gone ere t hey could reach her. . The winter passed, and still the stranger lingered, filling with her little ouu a small place in the house, but a large one in each heart. One bright golden spring morn, after assisting iutho morning ns had become her habit, she went into the bed room wilh her babe, and soon re-appeared wrapped in the same course garments thev hud weru on that frosty night of their urrivat. 'Give her one kiss, erandnia, and' you grandpa,' said she. holding the child first to ouo, nud then to the ot hoi 's wrinkled faces, 'and now, fiither, mother, do lot me cull yon this once ! give the uinvedded mother one. and we will go. and wherever I go I will pruy for you, and sue shall be taught too ;' and she rushed wildlv to door. Thev stunned her, caught her fluid, nnd pleaded" with her to stay. ; "Be to us ttill what you have been so long, ,oiir daughter, and do not take from in our darlidg. baby, we should die without her.' . . .. .'.'.'..'..;'.'' Great drops gathered on the still pah1 brow, whilst tears rushed down her cheeks, and her lips quivered w ith a fearful agony. Khe Wrung her hands, she beat her heart, she lashed her .limbs she sc-cnied like one who was half mud. "Give me the child one mo ment,' she exclaimed and clasping it wildly tp her bosom, she bathed its smilinsr face, with drops wrung from its keenest woe, then kijsed it passionately, and held it out tn them. Both stretched their hands and the littlo one, with an equal love, gave to tho pne its riirhf , and to the other its left hand.' and. upheld between them, crowed and screamed in baby glee. 'She' is the child of sin,' said the mother, with a solemnity that awed, for a moment, I hp carol of her bnbv ; 'the child of sin, but herself jmre and holy trf the nlfVpring of a wedded tie. Will you keep hur so if I leave her hero? If she goes with me, she will not long be an angel,1 unless, indeed, God takes her; would he had taken lior mother when she was ns youn" T 1 f she stays with you she may ever be one. "Will yon keep her f and she screamed the words into their ears, as thonglr she would buve made their inmost uerves awaken.

It shall tea home tons four. I cannot,' said she, wildly. 'Your daughter was a stain loss girl. I am' dyed in sin 1' and the shook with agony. 1 And so did those she spoke to, and tears as hot as those - that had m-aldeii her- face, now flooded theirs.' A while they t. pt as though their hearts would break ; then gath ered calmness, and, while the old lady clasped ti e two humbi of the Magdalen, the old niau plared hia hand on her head aud spake : "Our 'daughter I cd from 'us while in the, beauty of her girlhood Qed with a strafijer, " ' " . . i - ' .m - p ' i' t-t who wooed her by fulso words to n fearful sin.

The old mini's voice wus hushed. There was no sound but that of sobs, save when the babe cooed its little love Rung. A cry of ugony burst from tlie white lips of the stran ger, as loosening the bunds that held her, she fell at the feet of those who had beeli so true, a cry. ami then words. 'Father 1 mother I slio did not die slio lives! 1 nm she your Lizr.iu your lost, found child 1' ' - Let the curtain dron.

She herself hud forired tho stoi v of her death, to secure herself in the sin she had learned to love. But, when utter years of wretchedness nud crime, she became liursell'. when she felt npon her breast the touch of pure and holy lips then sho became herself again, and felt how much, how deeply she hud sinned, and she longed to have her babe nur tured us she had been. It was lung ere she could escape from her sinful associates, but she at length succeeded Hiitl reached, as I have told yon, her father's house. She nienut to conceal hetselr till thev were ash ep and then leave the babe anil go nway ; for she had no hope they would cherish her again for. O, she was very vile. But the fold was so intense she dared not I p - 'Lo r!

The old ladv ceased her storv. and there was no word spoken for n long while. Then the yonngmnidon broke it. saying, 'And what became of them nil. ' The two aged parents lived nenr a scere or years, happy in the love of their restored child, nnd in the caresses nnd tender care of her little one. They lie buried in the old church yard. The grandchild lived to be a blessing to her mother for five und twenty yours : then pussed nway, leaving n little one to make good her place. Motherless ere it hud seen the face of her who gave it birth, it was fatherless ere the year was out.' Anoth er long pause. Yes, it is a haunted hearthstone, this. Those aged Christians, that hcmililitl young mother, that noble Father they hnmited it ; not ns did ghosts of olilcii times, nuiiiing it a weaird sput for the heart, but wilh si.eh holy memories that the hour spent in communion with them seems like a visit in the better land.' 'Hearthstones are ever haunted, but few, like this, have nngels for their guests.' The anniversary or that bleak winter's night came round. The lire burned us brightly as before, the room was ns warm and rosy; but tho young girl kneeled nun- before the tire. There was no hip for her to rest her head upon tlie old arm chair was empty.

" hi'n n wagon drawn by. several elephants was passing our olBcu vesterdav. the follow ing story was told, xvhich we "vouch for ns tine : Last season a menagerie visited the village of .lohnstown, Herkimer County. When the cavalcade left town it Massed over a bridgo which the road crossed, leaving two elephants to bring up (he rear. These were driven to the bridge, but, xvith the known sagacity of the race, they refused to cross. The water of tne creek, which floxvs through a gorgo in the ,late form.it ion, presenting at that point bunks of precipitous character and thirty feet in height, was low, und by taking u coursn across a com field, a ford could lie reached. But the proprietor of the coi n field refused to ylloxv his properly to be so used, except on the paviiieiit of "an exorbitant sum, ami this the ngent of tho menagerie revised to submit, fo. Accordingly the elephants were again driven to the bridge, and again they rifii-cd to attempt fho crossing. They would try the trm-tiiii' with their greist KVet,- feel cautiously along the plunk with their probes, cal fingers, but each timo would recoil lroui making the dungx-rous experiment. At last, however, goaded by the sharp, iron instrument of the keeper, and accustomed to obedieiice.they rushed on xvith a scream, halT of agony, liulfof anger. The result showed the prudent prestince of the poor animals to have been correct ; the midge broke, nnd went crashing to tho bottom of the gorge, carrying with it both the monstrous beast si. One of them striking upon its task and shoul der breaking tho former and very budly in juring the letter ; the other, was, strangely enough, unhurt. Now was shown tho most sii'Tiilar and tvm irkab!e conduct on the part ! tiie brute which had escaped. Itscomiade lay there, an extempore bed being provided Tor ns comfort, while no temptation, no lorce. no stratagem was sulfiiient to induee the other to leave; nnd proceed with the main portion of the caravan, which finally went on, leaving the wounded bensl and its companion under t!'0 charge or their keeper. Day after day 1 hu suffering creature lay there rapidly Tailing and unable to move. At ihe end oT three xveeks, the water in the creekVonunenced rising, and there xvas dan ger it would oxei llow and drown the disabled elephant. The keeper desired, therefore, fo get it up nnd make it walk as far ns a barn nearby, where it would be out of danger and could be better cared for. But it would net stir, lie coaxed, wheedled nud scolded, but all to no purpose. At last, enraged, he seized a pitchfork und was about plunging it into the poor thing's flesh, when the compan ion xvreiichtd the fork lioin his hand, broke It in fragments and flung the pieces from it ; then with eyes glaring and every evidence of .rage in its manner, it stood over its defence less and wounded friend as if daring the keep er to -.pproach ; xvhich the man was nut so iriMi.li fie In .1-1 iirr-iiii l-it!i isivn.t t.m-t.fwii j mis i no injured animal lay mere until n died.
