When be saw that I watacit afraid pf him, he gave a loud screech and vanished, leaving behind him a most infernal stench, of brimstone, which I smelt all the way from the cross-road as far as the bridge. He had got his answer, and I saw no more of him for that night.") Josh thrust his chair back to the wall, and drawing a long breath, gazed upon the reprobate with a strange mixture of awe and terror in his bewildered ciountenanise.

I had enough of his oompany here. I don't know why he should leave his grave to haunt me after his death." "For the love he bore you while on earth,"mid the dutiful son, glancing round the group with a knowing look. "Dad is sue of a kind reoep• Lion from you, mother." "The da he was buried," said Martha, "was the only happy one I had known for twenty years, and yen know it well. One of his last acts was to make me a cripple for life." "How did he come by his death, mother Ma son?" asked a young sailor, Tom Weston by name. "Ile was tilled in a row with the smugglers," said Bob.<-"He had helped them to land some brandy, and they wanted to cheat him out of his pay. Father had lota of pluck , .

Bat he has gone to his place, and lam determined to keep mine. A ghost has no legal claim to the property of the living, and he shall never get possession of this house, living or dead, again." "But suppose, Martha, he should take it into Ma head to haunt it, and make it too hot to hold you," said Tom Weston, .‘what would you do then?" "I think I know a secret or two that would lay the ghost," returned Martha; and hobbling across the kitchen on her crutch, she lifted down and uld horse-pistol that was suspended to one of the low cross-beams, and wiping the dust from it with her apron, she carefully examined the lock. "This should speak my welcome to all such unwelcome intruders. It has released more than one troublesome spirit from its clay tene ment, and I have no doubt that it would be foun4l equally efficacious in quieting others— that ii if they have the audacity to try their strength against me;" and she glanced disdain fully at her son from beneath her bushy, lower ing brows. "This brown dog is old, but he can still bark and bite?" "How vicious mother looks!" \ said Bob, with a loud laugh. "It woald require a ghost with some pluck to face her." "What time did the spectre appear last night?" said Tom Weston, who saw that mischief was brewing, and was anxious to turn the subject into another channel "I 'should like amazingly to see it."

The men looked significantly at each other. and a little tailor rose cautiously and shut the door. "Wby de you do that?" said Tom Weston, "To keep out bad company." "It is stifling hot!" cried Tom, kicking it open with his foot. "I shall die without a whiff of fresh air." "But the ghost:" and the little tailor shook bl 3 head mysteriously. "Does not belong to any of us," rejoined Tom. "My relations are all sound sleepers; good, hon est people, who are sure to rest in their graves There is a storm brewing," he continued, walk ing to the open door, "that thunder-cloud will burst over our beads in a few minutes, and Mu- Bob will get a good drenching." "Its awmme to hear him talk L 9 he do of his feather's spirit," said honest Josh "It makes my flesh creep upon my bones.', "Provided there'sany truth in hie statements," said a carpenter, who had been smoking his pipe by the table, and siiently listening to the conver sation—"which I much doubt. For my own part I would be more afraid of meeting Robert Mason alone in that dark lane, than any visitant from another world. I don't believe in ghosts. I never saw one, and I never met with any person, on whose r ord you could attach much credit, that could statisfactorily prove tosou that he had: when you pushed him hard, it always came out that he was' not the person who had seen it; but some one else who ha 4 related the tale to him, and lie had every reason to believe it true.

"Ay, Bill Corbett; but you Bob declare that he has both seen and spoken to it, and the lad must know his own father.4"- "I don't take for gospel what I hear Bob say; I don't believe one word of the story—no, not if he was to swear to the truth of it upon the Bi ble," said the animater, waxing warm. Before Tom Weikel...could reply, a loud peal of thunder burst suddenly over their heads, and the vixen was ee vividly lighted up by the electric flash that preceded it, that Mary, who was ioteatly listening to the conversation, rose from her emit with a loud eereani. "By the living Jingo! what's that?" cried the laborer, startling to his feet, while the pipe he was smoking fell from his nerveless grasp and shivered to atoms on the hearth.

"Shut the door, man! can't you!" vociferated Tom Weston to the tailor. "The rain pours in like a flood, and it will give the young lady cold." "Poor, delicate creature!" said Martha; "as if a few dorpa of rain could hurt the like o' her!" As the tailor rose to shut the door, two men, bearing a heavy burthen between therm, filled up the vacant space. All oyes were turned upon the strangers, as through the howling wind and rushing rain, they bore into the room and placed upon the back floor a man in a fit of eelepsy. "Well, messier, how is it with 'an?' said the foremost, who was a stint, rosy fellow from the laboring class. . No answer was returned to the inquiry made in a kindly tone. The person thus addressed still continued writhing in convulsions, and perfectly unconscious of his own identity, or of that of any person around him. "Put a tablespoonful of salt into his month, man," said Corbett, the carpenter; "that will bring him to, if anyLhing will."

"And did you really see the ghost?" asked Sophy, who was dying with curiosity to hear the tale from his own month.

The man started from hie abstracted fit. "Don't speak of it now, my pretty maid. Let you and I talk of something else." "But I should like so to know all about it.— You said, when you were coming to, out of that frightful it, that it was the ghost of a Mr. Car lon."
