THE DAILY POST.
FRIDAY MORNING
it 19 IthOW ton yearn mince I was proceeding
from London to Glasgow, to attend a meeting
there of the Ilighland Agricultural Society:; and
by some stupid oversight of my own, or mistake
of the railwaY duthoritiss, found myself sent off
the main line, and rapidly approaching Liver
pool, before I discovered the error. lt was late
and dark, and I have a particular objection to
any ' unnecessary degree of discomfort ; there
fore, as there would still he time enough fer me
to reach Glasgow before the opening of the meet
ing, if I took a forenoon train the next day from
Liverpool, I resolved to profit by the accident,
to visit an old acquaintance of mine who resided
in one of the suburbs of the city, and from.whom
I had frequently received, and as often been
obliged to decline, a warmly hospitable invita-
tion.
I knew his house was not large, and his estab
lishment I presumed to be on a strictly bachelor
scale ; but having lived a good deal about the
world for many years, I can accommodate my
self with ease to any circumstances into which I
find myself thrown; and I own that I thought
more of the pleasure of seeing, and conversing
with my old friend, than of the slight disturbance
which my unexpected arrival might cause in his
honsehold. On arriving at the station, there
fore, I engaged a fly, and set. out at once for Dr.
Blackburn's house 'The way was long, and
dark, and dreary "—it' Miss Rosie will forgive
me a parody on her favorite poet—we rattled
through innumerable eti eets, and wandered
along a devious course in a wilderness of "semi
detached dwellings" and " suburban villas,"
which seemed to have no end. At length we
reached a small substantial house, standing
somewhat back from the high road in a garden,
which was surrounded by a high brick wall ; and
on sending in my card, Dr. Blackburn at once
appeared at the entrance door, with a hearty
greeting, and a warm invitation to me to enter.
The first few minutes were occupied by my ex
planation of the circumstances which led to my
unexpected intrusion; and it was not till my
portmanteau was deposited in the hall, and the
Hyman had driven away, that Dr. Blackburn's
old servant wag able, after sundry mysterious
winks and nudges, to attract his master's atten
tion, and draw him to one side.
After a few words spoken in a low tone, Black
burn turned to me with a laugh, in which, how
ever, there was a shade of embarrassment.
Why, Brunton," he said, "here is Stevens re
minding me, with a face of horror, that there is
positively not a vacant corner in the house.
There is a trial for poisoning, of great profea-

sional interest, guing ou at the assizes, and !l—
and , whom you must remember, are stay
ing with me to attend it, and they occupy the
only two spare rooms which the house con
tains' —I interrupted him by saying that it
was of no consequence, I would spend the even
ing with him, and return to the railway hotel fOr
the night. " Impossible," he exclaimed. " You
;tre fully two miles from the station ; and how
could you convey your impedementa : 2 We are
far beyond the region of perpetual cabs here.
No, no; we shall manage a shake-down for you;
though I shall nut be able to make you as com
fortable as I should like to see a friend whom I
Li,ve so long wished to have under my roof."
A few instructions in a stage-aside to Ste
vens—in which I heard the words "camp-bed,"
a large tub," and "laboratory "—and Black
burn turned, and ushered me into the large, low,
but comfortable and well lighted dining room,
where his two guests were still sitting at the
table. A portion of the well cooked' dinner was
soon heated and set before me, and we sat con
versing on many subjects of interest to us all,
till a late hour. When we rose to separate for
the night, Blackburn recommenced a series of
apologies for the rough lodging he was obliged
o give me, which I with difficulty cut short by
assuring him of my indifference on the subject.
He then took a lantern from the servant, and
opening a side door, led the way across a paved
yard surrounded by outhouses, and through a
small shrubbery beyond, to a detached building;
which, from having been sn apple room or some
dependency of the garden, tie had converted into
a laboratory or museum Ho unlocked the door
with a key he carried in his hand, and we en
tcred &loot] sized room, the walls of which were
hung all round with curtains of green stuff, con
cealing shelves loaded with various chemical
preparations and studies in anatomy and natural
history.
Blackburn was a retired physician of consider
able local celebrity; but being in independent
circumstances, he lead for some time relinquish
ed the duties of his profession and devoted him
self to the sciences that are more immediately in
connection with it. Chemistry and anatomy had
led him on to mineralogy and geology ; and
entering warmly into the controversy excited in
the scientific world about that time by the ap
pearance of a very remarkable work on the last
named science, he had been devoting his leisure
for some months before the time I am now
speaking of, to the composition of a pamphlet to
bs entitled, Comparative Anatomy in the Paleozic
Ages, which was to give the world some ideas of
his own on the subject. It was thus he account
ed to me for various uncouth forms, models in
miniature of the gigantic plesioranri or ptero-
dactyles of geology, which dangled from the
ceiling and cast grotesque shadows on the white
washed upper part of the walls. A large table
had been hastily cleared to receive my dressing'
apparatus; and Blackburn handled with some
thing of regretful tenderness a number of human
skulls, collected to furnish evidence in support
of some theory regarding the origin of the va
rieties in the human race, which had been die•
respectfully cast by Stevens, in the course of his
hospitable preparations for my comfort, into a
corner of the room, where they lay grinning
upon a heap of other bones, both fossil and re
cent, which were awaiting the collector's leisure
to be classified and arranged in order on the
shelves. We fell into conversation on the sub
jects suggested by these evidences of my friend's
favnirite studies, and some time elapsed before he
lel, me for the night, promising to send his ser
vant to call me at an early hour in the morning.
Bye-and-bye, however, the atmosphere of the
room became rather oppressive ; the fire, heaped
up by hospitable hands, gradually drew 'rum the
boue4 and other animal products in the surround
ing shelves, odors which were neither pleasant
nor healthful ; and remembering that I bad not
d,:(.1/ a window in my first survey of the room, I
rose to look for it. Under the green curtains,
on the side opposite to my bed, 1 discovered two
square windows, such as are often seen in eta
hire, opening outwardly from the top, and kept
from slipping by a curved bar of iron cut into
notches. I opened one of these to its utmost
stretch, and, after looking for a minutes at the
brilliant sky of a frosty autumn night, closed the
curtain again, and betook myself to the camp•bed.
I locked the door as soon as my friend retired;
and then made a fresh examination of the some
what singular apartment which had been hastily
prepared for my reception ; and in order to make
what I am going to relate more intelligible, I
will describe the room as it then appeared to me.
It was nearly square, and, as I have said before,
of considerable size. One of the sides was
formed by the high brick wall of which I have
spoken as surrounding my friend's house ; and
from this wall, which may have been about fif
teen feet high, the roof sloped gradually, till, at
the opposite side of the apartment, the space be
tween the roof and the floor was not more than
nine feet. The room was not celled, but the
rafters and beams were whitewashed, as well as
the space left at each end between the green cur
tains which covered the walls all round, and came
close to the roof, where it was lowest, and the
gradually increasing height of the walls. The
door was in the centre of one end of the room;
opposite to it was a large open chimney, with a
, raised slab of stone supporting dogs for burning
wood, on which was now heaped a brightly glow
ing pile. At one side of this cheerful fireplace
stood a large tin bath full of water, and on the
other, a small camp-bed was spread with the
freshest and whitest of linen. My portmanteau,•
and the table spread with my dressing appara
tus, occupied a third corner; and the fourth
contained the heap of bones and skulls already
, mentioned. A large leather-covered armchair,
and an old fashioned spider legged table before
the fire, completed the furniture. After making
my preparations for the night, the fire looked so
temptingly cheerful, that, my mind being occu-
pied with the anbjects we had tilectissettluring
the evening, I could not resist seating myself in
the arm-chair, and indulging in a little half.
drowsy meditation..
FEBRUARY 26
I l a y f o r genie Jima watching the wildly gro
tesque forms assumed by the shadows of the an
tediluvian monsters I mentioned as dangling from
the rafters, while the embers flashed and grew
dull, and again brightened into a transient blaze;
and sleep was gradually stealing over me, when
I was startled by a slight sound, as though some
thing had fallen from one of the shelves. I
raised my head and looked around,• but could see
nothing; and my eyes were closing again, when
suddenly it appeared to me as though a hideous
face were painted on the very spot at which I was
looking. It was visible but for a moment, and
then.vanished. I rubbed my eyes and shook my
head, and even felt my pulse to try and detect'
some symptoms of incipient fever; big except
that I plead guilty to one bounding throb, there
was no sign of any abnormal stato of the circu
lation, and I was trying to fancy that I hi►d been
gazing at the skulls in the corner, and transferred
the image of ono of them to the next object on
which I fixed my eyes, when the appearance re
turned in the same spot.
This time there could be no mistake ; I clearly
saw the flashing eyes, the glittering teeth, the
frightful grin of a demoniac countenance. A
bright blaze shot from the dying embers, and in
a second the vision disappeared. I own that now
a cold sweat burst out from every pore. Either
I was seized with sudden insanity, or I was the
victim of some supernatural delusion. I lay for
a few minutes a prey to the horrible sensations
of one struggling with the night-Mare. I would
have given the world to have risen, and endeav
ored to discover some natural cause for the
frightful appearance ; but my good fortune, or,
let me say more reverently, the watchful mercy
of a kind Providence, kept me still.
I could almost hear the beating of my heart in
the profound silence. Gradually the light faded,
the embers crackled more faintly, the shadows
dickered and disappeared in the general gloom;
but still I lay motionless, my eyes riveted on the
spot so full of mystery. I should think that at
least a quarter of an hour passed in this man
uer.
Joe B is unquestionably the haneomest
married man in Cincinnati.
Joe sports a wife, besides other oreatpre com
forts. Well, ho and his wife. Harry ,John
, and George , and their wives all
boarded at the same hom,e. A day or two ago,
while they were at table, luxuriating upon the
detached portions of a boiled turkey, which had
been stuffed with oysters, the conversation turn
ed on Christian names, when Mrs. Harry con
tended that she could name more listinguished
men who had borne the name of Harry, than
any gentleman could of his own name ; and con
cluded by offering a gold pencil as a wager
against a suitable equivalent should she win.
The trial commenced, Mrs. Harry , start •
ed off with "Harry of the West," adding a dozen
others.
George now gathered up Geo. Washing
ton, the four Georges of England, Lord George
Franks, Sze.
"Now, Mr. John , what have you to
say ?" said the charming Mrs Harry.
"Oh ? I can give you a hundred— the two
Adams, Lord John Russel—John Tyler,—John,
John, bring me some water."
"Stop, stop, you can't win. Mr. Joseph
, now your turn comes," continued
s the
juicy little gamester.
Now, if ever a bashful man lived, it is my
friend Joe—he dared not look up.
lie had been racking his brain for an answer,
but to no purpose, and in despair he made one
grand effort, and raising his head replied :
"My dear madam, I have lost. I cannot now
think of any very distinguished man who ever
bore the name of JosePh except the gentleman
we road about in the Sacred Scriptures, he who
was such a favorite with Mrs Potiphar, but I
will not offer him, for I think he.waa the
fool I ever did hear of."
"Hero is the penoil,"said Mrs. Harry, tossing
it over to him, as she cud the other ladies scud
out of the room.
