PROFITS OF A HOLIDAY.
Findin himself in possession of a holiday,
Samson (-own, an arid man of bosiness--eotn
foruible bat not a Croeous--betook himself by
rail to a village not many miles distant from
London. He Inquired at the station whether
there were return tickets that commanded a pe ,
nod of three or rent dam but receiving en en
barer in the negative, he paid his scoond class
tare down, entered a carriage, and sighed to
think how his liabilities would be renewed whoa
his holiday expired, be ono. more sought the
great metropolis. He submitted, however, to
tate, and was soon absorbed in his favorite pa
rr
I:WECEEEM
When, startled in the midst of one of the
mutt intereating articles in the F.conomiat, by •
harsh about announcing the arrival of the train
at the desired statton. Samson Brown ali g ht...l
.40. ',amulet ins tarsi itintight was to stxull
about the village, and ascertain the nature of the
seeomosodatiotia whieb at presented All he lower
about the village was this: it stood a very tact,.
way down in the page of the month's liradshsw,
(which he bad borrowed train a friend) and eon.
neguendy it could be reached at a very small it
ponse
Some years agu, a pinkie ,pher asuertalued that
there was uothiog to be sesu to the ooutory, save
a field acid a gat.; and Sitosou lir,,wo, being a
diacipie uf ehta philo-pher, thought (h et th e
field and the gate culLt as wei, b.- at-,u zla‘aply
ad at heavy CCAst,
The object that first btruck hot eye as he
roamed through the village, wee a seat whit
washed cottage, of tht• ornamental bpee,eti,
the ehuttera elobed lo (rant of the dawio.l we.s
a neglected garlt o
Strohog further uP, Sam4on Brown observed
that t ben , II &I cesrceiy imeh a thing ain , an unoe_
etapied.thesz•uage ur vnement in the plate; yet
there were houses infinitely worse situated and
worse located than this deserted dwelling As
a etimulowi to thought be rubbed his chin, and
its touch reminded him that he was yet unsha
yen. He had therefore a pretext for calling on
the village barber, and placing himself under
the acre of that dietinguished artist, he put sev•
eral questions relative to the mystery that now
occupied his mind.
The barber stated all that be knew about the
matter in a confidential tone, that was highly
flatttring to Simeon Brown. For a tetipun'a
now he would have not said as much to the beet
friend he Lad ever known; bat he poured it all
forth gratuitously into the ear of Sauwoo Brown,
whom he had never before seen in his life, acid
whose countenance czpressed nothing but unmit,
igated surprise
According to the information of the commu
nicative shaver, the cottage in question was
troubled People had been invited to live there
for nothing, and, even on these very reasonable
teric4, had been unable to remain, in (souse
queure of the strange noises that abounded in ev
ery room, more eapecially the first back floor.—
Doors opened without visible cause, and shut
with excessive audibility. L . :rookery and glass
had s strange knack of rattling and jingling on
the tables, and on the stairs might be heard the
ru4tling of that peculiarly stiff silk, which is
never worn-now a-days, but was much in vogue
among wicked old ladies in the last century.
Armed with these formidable Nets, Samsun
Brown proceeded to the office of the village house
agent, which was situated in the high street; and
after the shortest possible preface, asked what
was the rent of the avoided cottage. The aunt
required by the agent was ridiculously
when tested by the appearance of the domici ;
but it was perfectly exhorbitant compared with
the sum propoaed in his turn, by Samson Brown.
The agent affeeted indignant surprise, blit was
quailed in a moment by the piercing glance with
which Seams Brown eyed him when he said :
M. L. Lev
"Well," small as toy offer may be, it is better
than nothing, and you know very well that even
at the rate of nothing per annum more than one
person has refused to weepy those suspicious
premises. Don't smile I you are perfectly aware
that the wave has the reputation of beiag
troubled—that's the expression—troubled."
Here the agent exclaimed with affected warmth:
"I should very much like to know who dares to
propagate snob a malicious rumor T"
"lie every one in the village has sufficient
courage for that exploit—though oot sufficient
to live in the bouse—your wish may be easily
gratified," replied &woo Brown, with the most
provoking coolness
"Well," observed the agent in a conciliatory
tone of voice, "I admit that there are many Lot
isb people hereabouts, and fooliell'people indulge
in ' , palish superstitions; bat men of sense, my
dear sir—men of the world—like you and me
"Stop a moment," said Samson Brown, "don't
put you and me together. You and I see the
matter from precisely oppofitte points of vies;.—
You want to get as much asyou can for the hot.
tage, and therefore you disbelieve the report that
it is Waited; I vast to sin jos as little as I

rum •OCt[4olo WOES:,
can, and therefore I am a firm believer in super ,
natural influences."
This logic was too much for the agent, and in
a few minutes Samson Brown hid segued an a
greement by virtue of which, on his own terms
be obtained possession of the entrap, together
with sundry shabby articles of furniture; which
probably left by the last frightened tenant, still
lingered in the deserted rooms.
At about a quarter before midnight Samson
Brown was sitting alone in the dreaded first floor
back of the cottage, regaling)himself with a glass
of tolerably strong brandy sad water, and inha.
ling the fragrance of a mild bier, A small loaf
ind half a dutch cheese stood upon the ricke ty Othle against which be sat; also • pint-

boy who would base approached the door of the
troubled how. tlis mind we, once more 1.1,-
sorbed in the Economist, whioh he read through
the fumes that-gracefully curled about his well
i defined nose
Ae the hour of midnight approached the plate
began to clatter terribly on pop of the pewter pot
bunion Brown raised from hie ma l es, qui e tly
removed the noisy utensil, placed it on a soft
piece of baise, which rendered abortive every at
tempt to clatter, and was once more deep in the
Revenue Returns Presently the door of rho
room opened with a crank, sod *limed with a
bisng Samson Brown rose, trim his seat, turn
ed the key, and resumed his reflections on the
prueceds of customs and excise The clock of
the village church struck the hour of twelve with
• dreary solemnity that would have awed every
other occupant of that dfsaial, scantily furnished
room; but Samson Brown was pondering over
the probability of an increase of the income tax
However, at the final stroke of twelve, $ sound
in th e room lik e the rustling of stiff silk tallied
Samson Brown to suspecl that he WAS not alone.
Raising his eye from the fascituitiog paper, he
perceived a short female !figure, in an old fash
ioned dress bustling shout the room, and *pp*
really unconscious of his presence, until, sudden
ly turning rancid it fixed upon him two glassy
eyes. Then darting forwent, it planted two point_
ed elbows on the table, sad , rested upon two skin
ny hawks one of the most evil faces that was ever
beheld. Never Vl3 earthly wickedness and %pee
lrsl repuleiveness more aptly oombined.
Nevertheless, with this most hideous eounte.
nines thrust into his countenance; with those
eyes of glass pointed against his eyes; with that
smile of indiseribable malignity force upon his
vision, Simeon Brown simply mid, "Well, mad.
am ?"
Th'e countehance remained where it was with
out moving a muscle—the eyes were still fixed
beyond the power of twinkling—the smile was
stereotyped, soil Samon Brown after s pause of
a few ef:tonds, reiterated, "Well, madam ?"
A strange expression came over the horrible
features; sod its meaning was divined in a too
meet b 5 Samson Brown. The ghost had been
used to scare all the world with the mere rustle
of its silken robe. Now, here was s man who
could return its stare, with another stare more
piercing, The eye of etas had met the eye of
a hawk.
R a isi ng her faoe from her hand aud el
bows f r om tha oabte, the ill•Iooking old hag
moved t•twards the empty grate, and began ,to
scratch the trail above the ehinaney , pines, utter
ing at the same time a low wailing sound, which
gr 4. rho mono h 4rriblo from boil pg paili
by no corresponding effect in the face, whtob
was again -xpr,ssionle.m, and completely corpse
like. Samson Brown stepped up to the old lady,
and exact/turd the wall over hrr head, stooping
far that porpo... WI ht. chin alruu re-te lon
her sotiqual,d sal
"H 4: i se'' '. said be, "that spruce pete of

ghost, rushing from the hearth, flew about the
room with the most frantic gesturea; apparently
e xh a usted, it squatted down in a corner, r i sp at
ing the low wailing noise
"Compose yourself, madam," said Samson
Brown, an I taking from the recess a miniature
portrait and a piece of filded paper tied up with
oarrogreen ribbon, he placed them on the
table, at which he resumed his seat
Tb miniature represent.‘d a lovely girl of
1r
*tout twetay years of at., with her hair dressed
after the fashion of a hundred years back. While
lamtion Brown was examining it with all the ad
miration of which his mind was capable, the
ugly old ghost rose from the corner and pointed
its forcfiogor with great eagerness, first at the
picture, then at the pit of its own stomach As
Satni•in Br two had a friend who allowed him a
seat in his opera box gratis, he was rather an
adept in the language of the ballet "D, you
meta, — said he, "that this is a portrait of your.
self in your youthful days?"
The ghost nodded
"Then," said %lama 13r. , wn, "you mast have
altered confoundedly as you advance to years "
The expression assumed by the ghost OCI the
occasion of this remark was certainly ungeuial
every feature was dtatorted with rage, the glassy
eyes looked like red coals, the skinny right band
took a sweeping gesture, and for a moment Sam•
son Brown felt as if be bad placed his head is a
violent draught fie bad received a spectral box
on the ear.
"I see," he observed, "the etas of a ghost
like bard words break no bones "
Laying aside the portrait, be untied and open
ed the folded paper, when the worst spelling and
the worst band writing he b.d ever seen were
revealed to his astonished eyes Every oriole
that eatould possibly be perpetrated by mortal in
transMitting his thoughts to paper with the aid
of a pin was apparent in that vile manuscript.
Thereiwere adjectives beginning with capitals,
and allittle “i" to denote the first person, and
the vdrb "to write" commenced will an "r,"
while!righte that bad been violated were spelled
wrigirt, with a "w " Even Samson Brown could
not avoid something like a sensation of awe when
tie saw how many sins against every law of
grammar, orthography and osligrspby bad been
committed within the confined space of a single
sheet of paper.
"Good heavens! what a fist!" he exclaimed.
Then addressing the ghost, who had returned
sulkily into the corner, be said, "Is this your
bind writing, madam?"
•The ghost nodded
"Did you learn writing at school.'"
The ghost nodded.
"And your parents paid Lilo school bills re
gutsily?"
The ghost podded
"Theo," said Sampson Browne , i( emote are
condemned ws,lk the earth on acoonnt of sins
coortvtted is their lifetime, think you must
very often meet the ghost of the ;irking master?"
The spectre not condeseending to notice this
brilliant sally, Sampson Brown, devoted hie en•
orgies to the interpretation of this strange hiero
glyphics, With an:sonteness that would hare
done' honor to the reader of a roll of papyrus, be
at lait anceeeded in eliciting the facts that one
“Margaret Stabs" but defrauded one "John
Jones" of moneys to the amount of one thou
send pounds, sod, oioillsting between uneasiness
at the thought of possessing ill gotten treasure
and unwillingness to part with a sum so coma&

the owl cellar. The operations of 'conscience
Sad likewise prompted Margaret to draw up a
written confession of her guilt, and to place it
where, in all human probability, it would never
be fooled. The thought that after eath she
would wander shout as an ugly ghost, d with
her own hand, indicate the spot where t paper
bad been concealed, bad elearly never unwed
the mind of Margaret Stubs.
"Madam l" said Sampson Brown, ..eh?
0! you are there are you?" be continued, ob i
serving that the ghost had shifted into soother
earner. "Madam, I infer from the ill-written
rigmarole I have just waded through, and from
the impressive manner in which you revealed w
me the place of its concealment, that you are
the person described as Margaret Stubrf"
The ghost bowed.
"I should spell Stubbs with two b'e myself
but tiverybody uuderstands his owu trainee best.
It appears then, that you defrauded one John
Jones--with whose name, I must observe, you
take strauge liberties—to the tone of one thou
sand pounder
The ghost bege.o to toss its arms about, with
every sign of the wildest agony.
"Now, my dear °feature pray compose your►
self, or we shall never get on at all," said Setups
son Brown "Listen to me, and let us perfectly
understand esob other. From what I have read
about ghosts is general, cud reseou►ug by sue.
logy, I arrive at the conclusion that, till y o ur
stair with John Jones, his executors adminietra•
tors, or assigns is made oompletely straight, you
ere ootopelled to walk sow these premises every
midnight.
The hoe of the ghost was distorted by a mali

"I perfectly understand the meaning of that
expression tilthmigh, as I said before, you
are compelled to walk about these premises, you

other people." •
The ghost placed its baud before its eyes.
"Bat you do not frighten me at all—mark
that! You do not frighten me in the least. In
fact, I find your society rather agreeable than
otherwise. I never saw a ghost before. and
therefore your apparition has, at least, the charm
of novelty."
The ghost began to assume an appearance of
an anxiety.
"Therefore, you perceive, if you expect that

John Jones merely for the sake of proounug

he added, with a smile of something like gallan

The ghost was completely puzzled. It not

of intense satisfaction.
Strong•minded people invariably boast that
they are above superstition Sampson B ro ws
was stronger minded than strong minded people.
Reeould be above or below superstition, just as
it answered his purpose. A belief in ghosts bad
assisted him to get his house cheap; a belief in
dreams might enable him to discharge a moral
duty. if any of our readers have been pleased
to fancy that Samson Brown was so much a lover
of gain that he bad no sense of right or wrong
we beg leave to correct them in that erroneous
opinion. A mere vulgar scamp would have gone
off with the thousand pounds in his pocket, and
left the shade of Mr. Stubbs to trouble the cot-
tage to the end of time. Rat Samson Brown
would u soon have committed a forgery as bate
been guilty of an act so manifestly paltry.
lie therefore went to the village indicated in
his dream; sad after sundry inquiries, actually
found a barber's shop tenanted by one Jonathan
Jones To the respectability of Jones report
bore in different testimony.
A partiality to beer seemed to be among his
leading peculiarities ; and this peculiarity it was
sa id, strongly militated against that manipula
tive skill which is so essential to the barber's
vocation. However, several of the older infor
mints, when they had detailed sundry diseepul
table facts in connection with Jones, shook-their
heads with exceeding gravity, said that if every.
body had his rights Jones would have been a
very different person from wbat Jones actually
was. If reports were true, this would have been
highly desirable Entering the dirty and diem
derly shop Samson Brown perceived an individ
ual still dirtier Old still more disorderly—one of
those nogginl y, sottish figures, that seems never
to be intoxicated and oever sober—slwsys have
red Doses, and always wear seedy black costs.—
The individual in question was maid in a nor
liar , w ith a short pipe in his mouth, the very per
fection of those bad tradefolks who maks apoint
of looking at every customer as if he was an in
tention'.
" Come to be shaved?" said the individual in
a foggy voice.
For the first time in his life 'probably Samson
Brown shuddered. The idea of trusting a pre
cious chin to the foul compound of dullness and
malignity that stood before him! -
There was an awkward pause. Samson Brown
turned his eye to the shop-window as the only
shopping thing about the pitn, hoping to find
some small article of which be might make a
purchase. Vain endeavor. Rapidly passing in
review a miserable assortment of glass-oases and
pasteboard bones, evidently oontsioing the frag•
meat of a business ruined years ago, he plainly
saw that there was literally nothing to buy his
only course, therefore, was to jump at once into
the middle of the subject.
gi What was the name of your paternal grand
father T" asked Samson Brown.
You're another!" r
wled the barber
" Pardon t ne," said Samson Brown, "I don't
quite perceive the force of your observation. I
asked you what was the name of your grandfa.
thew, on your father's side."
" Very well ; what was the name of yours?"
was the respondent growl.
Through this UDeotab question, Samson Brown
oould almost fancy he beard the voice of a tempt.
ing demon urgiag him to walk of with the mon
ey, and letve the surly barber, encumbered with
his wrougs, ass punishment for his b.ul manners .
However, be resolutely conquer, d the fiend, and,
with every show of good temper, resumed the
conversation.

Jones?"

wu the peripbra.stie auswer.
"In a pcouniary respect, your grandfather--
was better off than yourself?"
The besotted individual did not know about
that. He knowed that he himself always paid
out his coin way ; and that, if other people, who
wore fine coats, always did the - same, things
would go on much better than they did.

After a few unguents pause, oacupied with tha
digestion of this mass of family bi,t .ry, Samoa
Brown abruptly exclaimed :
" Mr. Jones, wont(' you lace nine hundred

As this Wai a question that only a luiittd of

" That mother Stubbs !seems very free with

I say," he continued with increasing acumen,
"if mother Stubbs i 4 dead, how can she agree to
anything?"
For the infitesmal fraction of a sec,and Samson
Brown felt embarrassed.; but, immediately re•
covering himself, be said :
"'Mr. Jonathan Jones, my time is valuable

Jones made no observation thit was distinctly
audible; but, mattering something about a poor
man's rights, and something else about some
thing being very hard, -be directed his stepi to a
shelf, whence he took a broken teacup containi

"There" cried Barnson Brown, after counting
out the money, whichibe placed on the table.
" There, you!" gruffly replied Jones, as he
dung the signed respeet &arose the table to Bamt
son Brown.
Samson Brown retired, and betook himself to
his troubled house. Jonathan JOON, ' having se
cured his newly retinilred fortune under look and
key, sauntered to the nearest tap, where he left
a penny in the pnrohp►se of a half pint of beer.
During the whole day be was observed to repeat
this process at intervals much shorter than
usual.
At ten minutes before midnight, Mr. Samson
Brown, who was sitting alone in the room where
be had first made the acquaintance of the late
Mrs. Stubbs, now heard the familiar rustle of
stiff black silk, and immediately afterward the
ghost was visible, with minnetbing like aaistoaity

The ghost extended its band, apparently dosed
its thumb and finger epos the document, and
then Samson Brown was slope. The receipt was
gone; the ghost was gone; whether it had do
parted by chimney, chink *Hoy bele; whether
it had ascended or deeeended; he wild got tell.
He only knew that he was aim*, and that his
hundred pounds were still safe in his peeket.—
He bad clapped the pocket by a sort of %tablet,
at the moment when the spectre mass,.
On the following
. morning Samson Brown Su
aroused from a refreshing slumber by a loud
knocking at his door. Of course he opened it
himself, and perceived the agent of whom he
bad taken the house. His safe egress from the
terrible domicile on the previous day, and his
bold return to it in the evening, had beset ob
served by several of his neighbors, and bad be ,
come the talk of the village. The terror of the
house bad consequently Wen ten per cent., and
the value had rises in the some proportion. Feel.
ing, under these altered circumstances, that be
let the house far too cheap, the agent yelled on
Samson Brown, with his check • book in his pock
et, to induce him to rescind the contract.
On the afternoon of that day, Samson Brown
returned to London in a second clam carriage,
bearing in his pocket the hundred pounds found
in the cellar, and aa_additional fifty received
from the house agent, as a oonsideration for can
tiding the afreement. How be spent his wonder.
fcil holiday is only known to his most confides
teal friends; but it is generally remarked that
his opinions on two particular subjects are not
the same as they were a few years ago. No one
in the world was more opposed to superstition ;
never was man so severely in favor of stinking to
business than Sacumn Brown. Bat now be is
occasionally heard to remark that a holiday now
and then is a very good thing, if !mop'e know
how to make ipe of it, and that, as for a belief
in ghosts, there i 4 a great deal to be said in its
favor.
