The morrow comes at last, and the sad
train of sympathizing friends bear onward
to the tomb, the lifeless form of him so

and as he saw that angub , h stricken frame,
and heard those bitter sighs which would

soul.
"Weep not," he kindly said ; and as
those words, so full of heavenly music,
met the mourner's ear, such light Sind
joy sprung up within her holy soul as
quick dispelled the shades of sorrow's night.
Thou turning to the bier, the Savior said :
"Young wan, arise !"

TILE GREEN CHAMBER ;
OR THE MIDNIGHT VISITOR.
[ COMMUNICATED
Major Rupert Stanley, 'a bold dragoon,'
in the service of his Majesty, George
found himself, one dark and blustering
night in Autumn, riding towards London
on the old York Road. Ile had supped
with a friend who lived at a village some
distance off the road, and be was unfami
liar with the country. , Though not rain
ing, the air was damp, and the heavy, sur
charged clouds threatened every moment
to pour down their contents. But the
Major, though a young man, was an old
campaigner, and with a warm cloak wrap
ped about him, and a good horse under
him, would have eared very little for storm
and darkness, had he felt sure of a good
bed for himself, and comfortable quarters
for his horse when he had ridden fur enough
for the strength of his faithful animal. A
good horseman cures as much for his steed
as for his own case. To add to the discom
fort of thb evening, there was sonic chance
of meeting highwaymen ; but Maj. Stanley
felt no uneasiness On that score, as just lie
fore leaving his friend's house he had ex-'
:twined his holster-pistols, and freshly prim
ed thou. A brush with a higliwaynnit
would enhance the romance of the night's
i mrney
SO he jogged along; but mile after mile
was passed and no twinkling light in the
distance gave notice of the appearance of
the wished-fur Mu. The Major's horse be
gin to give unmistakeable evidence of dim
t ress--st unibling once or twice and recov
ering himself with iliffieulty. At last a
dint light suddenly appeared at a turn of
the road. The horse pricked up his ears,
and trotted forward with spirit, soon halt
ing besidea oue-stury cottae. The Major
ass disappointed, but he rode up to the
door and rapped loudly with the butt of
hi. riding-whip. The summons brought a
sleepy cottagt r to the door.
")Iv good friend," said the Major. "can
you tell Inc bay far it is to the next inn ?"
"Eh ! it be about zerlm mile, cur," was
the t. , iver, in the broad Yorkshire dialect
of the district.

Touching his steel with the spur, the
Major rode off, feeling an exhileratio❑ of
spirits which soon communicated itself to
the horse. A sharp trot of a few minutes
brought him to a large mansion, which
stood unfenced, like a hugh caravansary,
by the road-side. He male for the front I
door, and without dismounting, plied thel
large brass knocker till a servant in livery
made his appearance.
"Is your master up 7" . asked the )1 Rjor.
"1 ain the occupant of this house," said
a venerable gentleman, making his appear
ance at the hall door.
"I am a benighted traveler, sir," said
the Major, touching his hat, "and conic to
claim your well known hospitality. Can
you giie me a bed for the night ? I am
afraid my four footed companion is hardly
able to carry me to the next inn."
"I cannot promise you a bed, sir," said
the host, "for I have but one spare bed in
the house."
"And that'—said the Major.
"Happens to be a room that does not
enjoy a very pleasant reputation. In short,
sir, one room of my house is haunted; and
that is the only one, unfortunately, that I
eau place at your disposal to-night."
"My dear air," said the Major, spring
ing from his horse, and tossing the bridle
to the servant, "you Qualms tun beyond

The host shook his head gravely.
"I never know,la man," lie said, "to pass

"I never knew a guest of mine to pass

"I shall prove an exception," said the
Major, smiling. "But. I must make one
remark," he added seriously. "It is ill

should any of your servants attempt to
play tricks upon tae, they will have reason
to repent it." And he laid his heavy pis

The doio. closed. Major Stanley !puked
it,. Having (lone so he took a survey nt
the apartment. Besides the ;limy opening
into the entry, there was another loading
to some other room. There was no lock
upon this second door, but a heavy table
placed across completelj barricaded it.

he caught up a pistol and challenged the
intruder. There was no reply ; but the
door continued to open and the table to
move backwards. At last there glided in
to the room a tall and graceful figure robed
in white. At the first glance the blood
curdled in the Major's veins; at the seemed
he recognized the daughter of his host.—
Her eyes were wide open, and she advanc

evident she was asleep. Hero was the
mystery of the Green Chamber solved at

her left hand and gazing on a beautiful

her arms dropped listlessly by her sides.

hopelessly for it, rose and glided through

She had no sooner retired than the Major
