THE SUSPICIOUS DIAN.
A TAU.' W 114.1 A DID4IAL
In a recent number of n
e we find the followitig excellent s
written by ALFRED CROWQUILL. Our ltmite
will not permit us to give the long and less
tstMg-intmcluctioa; but will Khztplisay_
that a in - OTerMely wea 1, y u
and contented country gentleman has gather
ed his family and friends around a bright
and ruddy fire on 61instmas eve, and m ac
cordance with his long-estahfished custorn,
ri,lates the following story:—]-
'You all know die sheep-shedS in our low
er croft, by Windy Gap,' said he, 'Before 1
built those sheds, when it first came into my
Possession, I had often endeavored to te
claim it, but alter many vain attempts I gave
the obstinate bit up in despair, and put it to
its piesent use. It its a desolate looking
nook, and its appearan7 carries out to a mi
racle the scenes of happiness enacted upon
its •site.
'William NI awby was bpi n there of parents
well to do in the world, with evelything
about their farm in a thriving state. As a
mere child, he was of a peevish, solitary,
nature. This'l have hoard from good au
tkority ; for I only became. acquainted; with
him as I entered my first school, and he'was
on the point of leaving it.
'Consequently„ when I entered home for
good to my parent's roof he was a grown
man, and 1 a mere stripling. As so short
a distance divided his father's farm from
ours, I soon fell over him, and renewed
our. acquaintance, His occupation Was a.
loreshadowiug of hie miserable characan.;
lie was dilivolyinspecting a hedge that di
vided a close horn the mail road. He
thought ho had discovered evident traces of
somo one having passed into' the field
through the said hedge.
I laughed at his wise and various face,
drawn into a look of profound wisdom for so
irittiiig an occasion.
'My young friend,' said he, 'men aro ruin
ed by trifles. It is not the broken hedge I
value; but I suspect .the tresspassers passed
through that grip upon eomo unlawful pur
pose ; but_ 4 l'll be even with them now my
.suspicions ate arroused.2
e nest day to the rtmueemett — orikv - ,

the hedge, with the announcement of all
sorts of , penalties and epringeguns to the tin.

for he' belictie,l that men were all pretty non•

two daughtere: The old Mau' often took his

He might leave them something comfortable-
The thought was tormentiug. •
,- suspicion carried fiftn every Market
day to dog his father wltft:ihe she* or the
most sincere affection, ,which the unsuspect-
ing old man, with his heart glad, reported
to his plairi, simple datrio,:while rejoicing
with him over theirimagiiiifd" treasure, •
He was at that nine itbOnteight and twen
y, and, dodge as he would, his could , not es-,
dape,a pair of- bright eyes and rosy - cheeks
that met-him in the hot* mentioned mar

He soon scraped an ..acquaintance, after
having by great assiduity 'found out Mat her
father was a rettred &Ater, of good fortune,
at.d that she' etas an only,ehild. He thought
this a safe iuvestnteut. His
,position and, ap.•

continue his visits; whici4ere, in tact, con-,
tinual, lo . rhe ,
.was always underthe appro.
hension that when the cat is away the mice
will play. and that some other might snap
up his valuable mouse. , He did not feel
quite assured as to the old roan's positive
possessions,. so - lie - nratio - 11' his .business in
a thousand diflerent ways . t i ii . enake inquiries.
'This could not go omsoqoietly but It m.
last reached -the old miller's ears, who good
naturedly put it down to the young maids
prudent foresight; but, oil inquiry, he die-
-covered that it proceeded from a doubt of his
respeciability*tind veraoitY.' The miller was
a shrewd old man, and determined, before it
was too late, to find out whether the yoiing
suitor might not be wantirig in some of the
— qualities lie though necessary for the girl's
happiness.
The old banker was a chum of the 'Liner's,
through whose instrumentality he had inves
ted large sums in excellent mortgages , He
allowed himself to be, purapeiT by Mawby,
with the connivance of the miller; and cots

nqutties, made uut the miller to be little

his intended one's house. ,11. being d a rk, he
crept over• the gaWlen•trdingif;•and'atieiked
up towards the shutter. Here he4ainly at
'tempted to peep through the crevices. And,
while endeavoring to make out a murmured
conversation, ip which he thought he heard_
his own name mentioned, he Was pinned by
the miller'A dog, who poor brute ! was cursed
with the youth's Mutt of suspicion, and sus
peoting that he was a Mier, had siezed hum
accordingly. Here was rather an awkward
denmiement, and he had no right thdre ; the
path to the door lay another way. in his
anxiety, he had trampled dawn the flower
bed. He stammetod out an excuse upon his
release, and departed home, crest fallen,
hoping that they did not suspect his suspio.
ions. . .
The next morning he 'received a polite
note horn the miller, begging him, 'not to
repeat his visits, as the dog appeared to have
taken a sudiloi dislike to him, in whichthe
was joined by himself and daughter. At
the same time, to ease :his mind as to. the
slate of their affairs, he begged to say that
any tespectable ypeniman, who pleased his
daughter's taste, might have tea thousand
down on the wedding 'day, and as much
more at his death.' For once ‘Villiam sus
pected 'right, viz: that he had made a sad
tool oh himself. '

Not many months- alter this he lost his'

plenty of exercise for hit miserable fault, for

harvests that his shotiks were- pulled and

clown to sit up as a watchman, armed with
an old double-barrelled' gun, 'loaded
,with
slugs. The first night his suspicions would
not let him sleep. This watchman might be
bribed to connivance, and he - get laughed at.
He was soon thessetl f and creeping along

the attention of the Watchman, who chal

-where there is a mutual confidence. and an

ions nature, had locked himself withiri him

ments..
His father's wealth enabled him to please
his fancy, so, to set his mind at ease, he sold
the farm, that lie rnitthi,4ii; - liti thought, be
free from a host of.pillereis. He built him
self a house in the croft 1 mentioned at the
beginning of the-tale, the very prototype of
himself. It had a Meg suspicious look—lt
had but one door, but windows were placid
so that he could see all that was going on on
fiver) , side..
He had but one domestic, an old cripple,
without relations, who was too lame - to go
-out, and of course, had no visins. st It was
- well known in the neighborhood that lie had
withdiawr. large sums from the different
country bankers, where it had been invested

mansion, the precincts of which he was nay- .

wandered abotinilk an unquiet spirit around
his sell-imposed tomb.
lit due course of time, his old domestic
was conveyod to the ;village church yard,
much less solitary than the abode which she
had left. •
For a moment, the old man stood and
gazed after the hearers, 10s white hail blown
about by • the cold wintry wind, and his
ahrivuled hands shading his eyes. He turned
slowly helm the !fight, and closed the door.
Many were the kind offers from the sim•
pie people of the village, but all offers he
resolutely declined, as he suspected that his
age and wealth were calculated• upon to a
nicety, anti a thumping legacy looked for
ward to as the reward of some trifling at
tention. Distant relations began to hoYer
around him, and maim tender inquiries.—
These he always met on the door-step, which
was the only, audience chamber for such
callers.
That solitaty old man sat as long as day
fight lasted, at a window ov e rlooking the
high road. Here he passed his life in read
ing and in 'watching. •The eamekindow
,showed a light burning during the hours o.
darkness, for 'he always appeared on his
guard, as upon any persons appearing nearer
than usual to the premises, his ears were
saluted by the deep growl of his dog, which
never left the house any more than his
master. •
About two years alter the decease ol' hie
house keeper, the • nightly light was missed

guide to many coming to the. village. This,
of course; caused some of the more curious
to approach the !Muse, in day-light and re

Power of Regulating Dreams.
Dreams can be produced by whisperthg'
into the ears when s a person is asleep. One
-of the most curious as well as authentic ex
amples of-this kind has been referred to,by
several writers: I find the particulars in Is
paper by Dr. Gregory, and they were related
to him by a gentleman who wititesied them..
The subject of it was an officer in' t - is expe
dition tcr.Lonisburg; in ,1758, who had this
peculiarity in so ivernarkable, a degree, that
his companions in the transport were in the
constant habit of amusing themselves
.at hio , ,
expense. They could produce in hiril any
kind of dream, by whispering into hie ear,"
especially' it this was done by a friend with
whose voice he was familiar, They - led
l htm through the whole progress of a quarrel,
which ended in a duel; and, when . the par
ties were supposed to.lie met : a pistol was
put into his hand, which he fired, and was
awakened by the report.. an another ma
. ion_thay_fountLhim_asleap-on—the-top--of -a--
, Locker, or bunker, in the cabin, when they
made him believe he had fallen overboard,
and exhorted him to save himself by swim
ming. They then told him that a l rliirrk was .
pursuing him, arid entreated him to dive for
his life Ge instantly 'did soNith such fordo 1
as to throw himself entirely from_the locker
npon the'cabin floor, bywhiCh he was much I
bruised, and awakened. of course. After the
landing of the army at Louisburg, his friends .
found him asleep in'-his tent and evidently
much annoyed by the cannonading. They
then .niade him believe that ho was engaged,
when he expressed great (ear, and showed
an evident disposition to run away. Against_
this they remonstrated, but at the same time
increased his ieareby _imitating the groans
of the wroimilett and dying; and when be
asked, as he often did, who was down, they
named his particular. friends. At last they
told him that the man next hiiirsell in the
line had -fallen, when he instantly sprung
from his bed, rushed out of the tent, and was
roused. from his danger and his dream to
gether by falling over the tent ropes. 'A re
mark-able-eircumstanee-in-this.ease-witerthat
11 alter these experiments, he had - no distinct
recollection of his dreams, but only a con!u
sed feeling of oppression and fatigue; and
used to tell his friend that he was playing
some trick upon him A ease entirely sim
ilar in its bearing. is related . in Smellie's
Naturall-listort, the subject-of-which-was. a
medical student at the University of Edin-
burgh. , •
A singular fact has often been observed
in dreams' which are excited 11 a noise,
namely, that the same sound 'awakens the•
person, and prodtices.a dream, Which aj
pears , to him to occupy.a considerable time.
The following,example of this has been rela
ted to me :—A gentleman dreamed that he
had enlisted as asoldter; joined his regiment,
deserted, was apprehended, carried back,
' tried, condemned to be shot, and, at last, led
out for execution. After all the usual prep
, arations, a gun was filed; he awoke - with
the report, and fo'und that a noise in an ad
joining room had both produced the dream
and awaked him. The same want of the
notionbi time is observed 'hi dreams from
other causes. Dr: Gregory mentions a gen
tleman who, alter sleeping in a damp place,
was for a long time, liable to a feeling of
suffocation whenever he slept in - a lying [ma
ture, arid thi§ was always accompanied by a
dream of a skeleton, which grasped Trim vi
olently by the throat. He could sleep in a
sitting pooture without {trig uneasy feeling;
and, alter hying various experiments, he at
last had a sentinel plated beside hun, with
orders to awake him whenever he sunk
down. On one occasion he was attacked. by
the skeleton, and a severe and long struggle
before ho awoke. On finding fault with his
attendant for allowing him ea long in such a
state of suffering, he was assured that he had
not lain . an instant, but had been awakened
the moment he began to sink. The gentle.
'man, after a considerable time, recovered
from the affection.

the other hand instead o! losing him any
real regard or admiration, his lameness gave
a touching character to both.
He had a delicate white hand, of which
he was proud, and he attracted attention to
it by rings. He thought a hand of this de
scription almost the only mark remaining,
now•rt-days, of a gentleman, of which it
certainly is not, nor of .a lad either though
a coarse one implies handiwork. He often
appeared holding a 4ndkerchieflipon which
