of the superior merits of this invention will
be found in the testimony of every man who
has piven it a trial, and among the number
are the gentlemen named below, and their

"He is biir, but I never learned that he

'kAnd you never heard that he was not.

''He's as placid as goat's milk."
"That is no sign he is a coward. There

knocked early at the door.
"You sent for me, Barbara ?" he said,
going to the girl, who stood vjppn the
hearth, coquettishly warming one- pretty
foot and then the other.
"Yes, Ernest," she replied. "I've been
thinking of what ycu said the other night,
when you were here."
"Well, Barbara V
Ernest spoke quietly, but his dark blue

"How V
"I want to see if you dare do a very

"What is it r
"There is an old coffin up stairs. It
smells of mould. They say Redmond, thc
murderer, was buried iu it; but the devil
came for his body and left the coffin empty,
at the end of a week, and it was finally
taken from the tomb. It is up stairs in
the room my grandfather died in, and
they say grandsire does-not rest easy in
his grave fur some reason, though that 1

Ernest laughed.
"Is that all ? I will do that, and sleep
soundly. Why, pretty one, did you think
I had weak nerves ?"
"Your nerves will have good proof if
you undertake it. Remember, no one
sleeps in that wing of the house."
"I hall bleep the sounder."
"Goi'd night then. I will Sen 1 a III

damp ways, where rats smttled I re
them, to a lew chamber. The boy looked
pale and scared, and evidently wanted to
hurry away; but Ernest made him wait
until he took a survey of the room by the
aid of his lamp. It was very large and
full of recos.-xs, with high windows iu
them, which were barred across, lie re
membered that old Grandsire Ferros had
been irsauo several years before his death,
so this precaution had been necessary for
the safety of himself and others. In the
center of the room stood a coffin ; beside it
! yras placed a chair.
The room was otaer-
wise perfectly empty.
Ernest stretched himself in the coffin.
"Be kind
enough to tell Mtss Uarbara
that itVa very good fit-paid he.
The boy 'went out and shut the door,
leaving the guiis n.ith alone in the dark.
Meanwhile, Barbara was talking with
the blacksmith in the keeping room.
THAN PRESIDENT. Hknry Clat
"Barney," said she, pulling h er hands
away from his grasp when he would hare
kissed her, "I have a tesc to put you to
before I give you any answer. There is a
corpse lying in the chamber where my
grandsire died, in the untenanted wing of
the house. If you dare sit with it there all
nightand let nothing drive you from 3-our
post , you'll not ask me to marry you in vain."
"You give me a light and a bottle of
wine and a book to read ?"
"Nothing!"
"Are these all the condidtiocs you can
offer me, Barbara V
"All. And if you get frightened.
You-Trcca- neYCi - lock me in tho face
uam.
"I'll take them, thon "
So Barney was conauuica u: nsf
by the lad, who had been instructed in
the secret, and whose voluntary stare at
Ernest's placid face as it lay in the coffin
was interpreted by Barney to" be natural
awe of a corpse, lie took his seat- and
the boy lull him alone with the darkness
end the rats and the coffin.
Soon after, young Fritz, the tanner ar
rived, flattered and hopeful from the fact
that Barbara had sent for him.
"Have you changed your mind, Barba
ra ?" he asked. -
"No; and I shall not, until I know
that you can do a really brave thing."
"What shall it be ? Tswear to satisfy
you, Barbara."
"I have a proposal to make to you. My
plan requires skill as well as courage."
"Tell me I"
"Well in this house is a man watching
by a corpse, lie has sworn not to leave
his post until morning. If you can make
him do it I shall be satisfied that you are
as smart and as brave as I require a hus
band to be."
"Why, nothing is so easy ?" exclaimed
Fritz. "I cat scare him away. Furnish
me with a sheet, show me the room, and
go to your rest, Barbara. You will find
me at the post in the morning."
Barbara did as he required, and saw
the tanner step blithely away to his task.
It was then nearly twelve o'clock, and she
sought her own chamber. Barney Avas
sitting' at his vi-jil.
The face in. the coffin gleamed whiter
through the darkness. The rats squeaked
as if a famine were upon them, and they
smelled flesh. The thought made him
shudder. He got up and walked about.
btfir something made
a sairut
noi;
somebody was behind him and he put his.
chair with the back against the wall, and
sat down again, lie had been hard at
woik all day, and at last, in spite of everj--thing,
he grew sleepy. Finally he nodded
and snored.
Suddenly it seemed v.s if somebody had
touched him. He awoke with a start and
saw nobody near, though in the centre of
the room stood a white figure.
"Curse you get out of this !" he ex
claimed, in a fright, using the very first
words that came to his tongue.
The figure held up its right hand and
slowly approached him. " lie started to
his feet. The spectre came nearer press
ing him in the corner.
"The d 1 take you !"
cried Barney, in
his extremity.
Involuntarily he stepped back, still the
figure advanced, coming nearer, and ex
tending both arms, as if to take Jiim in a
ghastly embrace. The hair started up ou
Barney's head ; he grew desperate, and as
thc gleaming arms would have touched
him, lie felf upon the ghost like a whirl
wind, tearing off the sheet, thumping,
pounding, beating and kicking, more and
more outraged at the resistence he met,
which told him the truth.
A the reader knows, he was big and
Fritz was little ; and while pummeling
the little tanner unmercifully, and Fritz
was trying to lounge at Barney's stomach,
to take the wind out of him, both plung
ing and kicking like horses, they were
pertriu id by hearing a voice cry :
"Take one of your size, big Barney."
Looking around, they saw the corpse
sitting up in the coffin. This was too
:n uch. They released each other and sprang
for the door. They never knew how they
got out; but they ran home in hot haste,
panting like stags.
It was Barbara herself who came and
opened the door upon Ernest the next
morning. M
"It's very early; one more little nap,
eaid he, turning over in his coffin.
So she married him ; and though she
sent Fritz and Barney invitations to the
wedding, they did not appear. If they
discovered the trick, they kept the knowl
edge to themselves, and never willingly
faced Barbara's laughing eyes again.
