Terila lt , quire 0,4 the pretwses, of It is, not worth while to tell me that the spirits of the dead never walk this earth, to be seen by - Mortal eyes, after they, have ta ken leave of their clayey tenements. I know bette. Robert Dale Owen may write of dead men coming back to visittle scenes of their mortal toils, and a thousand others may write against it; it's all one to me. I shall have my own opinion until T try to come back myself and can't, and it is' proved to me, by the best authority of the spiritual world, that no one else can. You will say, I make no doubt,_as my friends have always done, that my fears alarmed me, and that my excited imagination caused me to fancy I saw the person of my oil friend, Dr. Fen ton Atwiek, and beard his voice speaking to me, when I knew he was a crushed and mangled corpse, or you will conclude that I must have been asleep. You will lie equal ly mistaken in either hypothesis. In the first place, I am not a timid man. I never had been afraid of anything on the earth, or in the air or sea. I had walked through lone burying grounds, and by old churches, hundreds of times, in the dead of night, and no "Tani O'Shanter" visions had ever yet caused me to quicken my pace. I had been, all my life, a sturdy, hard wak ing person; so, no sick, puling fancies had haunted me. through long, weary days of idleness. Working for twelve hours on the stretch until you are wearied to death, and sleeping;like a log for ten, is not conducive to romancing, nor did I wish it to be. I had no thought of writing novels, or even ghost stories, in those days. I was a plodding chancery lawyer, never venturing to make a speech, but drudging, as I have said, for the clothes I wore and the food by which life was kept in my body. - Dr., Fenton Atwick had moved to Darby town ten years before. It was well he had an annuity to fall back upon, for there was no need of his diploma or of any science here. He had had a ease or so of ague and fever, and sometimes in the autumn a few chills—nothing more.. Strange that Dr. At wick's should have been the first death!— Alas, poor physician, thou vast " unable to heal thyself!" Our . salubrious climate and bracing mountain afr might baffle every effort of miasma to find a victim among us; but accident—the creature of fate—how un forseen, how impossible to guard against its treacherous dealings! The veriest invalid on earth was safer from that than hale and hearty Fentort Atwick. I don't know how I got into a sort of rev erie one evening--thinking of all .our lives, and the popular idea that we all have a mis sion to perform. I wasn't given to such things. I should as soon have thought of joining an Opera troupe—having no more idea of music than a steam engine—as turn ing metaphysician. .But there I sat, look ing out my window on the giant. - mountains ablaze With the golden aureola of the set= tiog sun, with my pen behind my car, and a pinnlerous volume of Coke all unheeded before me, asking myself, over and over again, of what avail my life had been to myself or otherq, and whither it was tend in,r, until the light died too flout the west ern sky, and the shadows of night, or of death, crept darker and darker into the room. leo Agents. i quor store, "PsLaR 1 " I exelaimcd, ''l am LIS Vision ary ao a
