• • This is i miracle."
In the year 1183, s stranger made 'his
appearance in Philadelphia, whose singu
lar manners and somewhal mingled style'
of dress, attracted general attention. lie.
kept no company, associated with no one,
none knew his lodging place; he was nev
er seen to eat or drink ; a strange mystery
surrounded him, which none could pene
trate or solve.. Ile was evidently in pos.
Cession of great wealth; this was ascer
tained in a manner equally as mysterious
u were his actioni and manners, the na
ture of which we will no detail here.
A sale of old paintings in Secondstreet,
in one of those old.fashioned houses, whose
age is identified with that of the city, at
tracteikan uttosual crowd, and among _ the
timber was seen the mysterious stranger.
No common motive or idle curiosity seem
ed' to hare drawn hint there, for as the va
rious pictures were put up. he viewed
theta with the most critical eye, and, it was
observed at the time, equal attention. A
mong the paintings was one of the original
portraits of Oliver Cromwell, at the sight
of which the stranger laughed outright;
but it was so wild, unnatural and sepul
chral, that a shudder as at the presence of
something awful thrilled the crowd.
Picture after picture was sold, without
exciting any peculiar notice, beyond the
expression of approbation which some
beautiful specimens cf art elicited, until one
was announced as being the likeness of
Pontius Pilate ! The stranger's eyes
glared ; his countenance changed from a
pale cadaverous hue to the complexion of,
as expressed by a gentleman present, ..a
painted devil !" So intense was his gaze
upon the picture, that he scarcely noticed
the curiosity his own conductexcited, and
the words, "11 is he! .11 is he •!" esca
ped him rather as a mental thought than
as an exclamation. He uttered nu other
words, his lips moved as from a convul,
'sive emotion, and when the auctioneer de
manded W Who was the purchaser.!" the
sudden announcement am !" from the
stranger, startled the whole company, and
when he seized the pairdiug and rushed
front the room. it seemed ak if the atmos
phere had been relieved from a noxious
irePor, for all who Were foment telt ast if
something oppressive had been taken from
their breasts, and they breathed more free
ly, and, as the auctioneer observed, o
qually so."
. beard this vivid • and fearful legend in
my youth and itieftlan impression on my
mind time.could not obliterate, and after
tin:emaciates have added to the interestl
, and wonderment of the subject.

ance, as described those who saw the
"Mysterious Stranger in 1783." While
these thoughts WO vividly calling up the
various taLes,conriected with the stranger's
history. his eyes were fixed upon me: 7 -
Stroll eyes never glared - on a human cream
tore
"Stranger things than these, young man,
have eaeurred;" he observed, "without
exciting aspeeist wonder. The mere ex•
biomes of a painthig,' aid in my posses
slob, his nothing MYSterious about it,- u
your looks would imply."
»I mutt conless,sir," !remarked, "there
does seem something curious in this pie
lure apart from the subject of it, as it was
sold at suction, in the city of Philadel
phia; some years ago, and connected with
which—"
"There was a wild tind romantic story.
But there is a Mystery attached to it,
which if explained, would startle you , far
more than could all the imaginary horrid
ones, horrified into seeming reality by the
pen of Lewis. The piinter of that picture
was a Flemish artist, and this Work was
produced by him when only twenty years
(lege; his name I will not mention—he
died in a mad house ! He painted it in the
aisle of the cathedral at 12.--x, in the
year 1307, from an orignal painting s which
1 brought irons the holy latull-'!
I stared at the individual as he stood be
fore me, in awe, but not in reverence ; for'
there was a mockery on his lips, and, a
hellish expression on his countenance,
that awakened fears for my personsl safety,
any attempt upon which I was determined
to resist with all the'power I was masterof,
and I felt capable of doing so, even against
odds. With this resolve, I observed—
"You must hive erred, sir, when you
said this picture
. was . stipteil.
from an original you brought from the
Holy Land 1"
"Young man, you are critical. Yet I
have not erred. 'rime and space are not
linked to me, nor to my fate, nor I to them.
I live for one common event until that
occurs the common events of life are to
me as passing clouds. Matter and mo
tion are the secondary causes which in me
produce effects.—Look at me, young man,
nay start n ot._ "I shuddered aa I gazed.
"and I will tell you more, aye tllOll3 than
mortal ears have heard before ! Listen—"
he placed his mouth Asia to my ear and
whispered.
"Gracious heavens," I exclaimed,
"Silence--listenagain—" Again be
whispered-+-1 started back—there stood
before me the Man of rtges !
"Aye," he went on, "1 have seen whole

and so he went tin adding, front weak to

One day, while sauntering down the
street he heard the rich, full tones of the
auctioneer. and of course he stepped into
see what was being sold. On the floor be,
perceived a collection, Which lacked as .if
it might have been purloined from the
garret of some museum,. and around
which a motly group had assembled:
while on the miniver StOoti the portly auti

the auctioneer ;44{0,1001118n, it is a shame.,
it is barbarous to stand by and permit
each a sacrifice of property.
, Nine.dollars
and ninety good morning, Colonel?
A magnificent lot of aptiquesodl going for ,
nine dollars and ninety cents. Gentlemen,
you'll never see another such lot!—and
all going—going—going for nine dollars
and ninety, cellar. Colonel W
you permit sub a sacrifice ?"
The Colonel glanced his eye over the
lot, and then, with a rnx.l and a wink, as
sured him that he could nat. The next
instant the hammer came down, and the
purchase was his, at ten dollars. As the
articles were to be paid for and removed
immediately, the Colonel lost no time in
getting a cart, and having everything pack
ed up and.on their way to the hunse. lie
proceeded to his own store, chuckling with
in himself that no..v, at least, lie had made
a bargain, at which his wife could not
•
grumble.
In due time, the Colonel.was' seated at
the dinner table,when, lifting his eyes, be
observed a cloud on his wife's brow.
•Well, my dear 1" said he, inquiringly.
