I went down to open it with a light heart; for what had I now to fear ? There entered three men, who introduced them- selves with perfect suavity as officers of et lice. A shriek had been heard by a neighbor during the night; suspicion of foul play had been aroused; information had been ecard at the police office, and they-(the officers) been = to search the premises. 3 erery night, about midnight, I turned the | chatted of familiar things. But, ere jong, latoh of his door and oj ae it—oh, so gently! peterh veep le, and wished them gone. And then, when I made an opening suf- why pe aire ed, and I fancied a ringing in my ears; but still they sat and still chatted” Th ringing became more distinct; I talked more freely to got rid of the feeling; butit continued and gained definiteness, until at length I found that the noise was not within my ears. ficient for my head, I first put in a dark lan- tern, all closed, so that no light shone out, and then I thrust in my head. Oh, you would have laughed to see how cunningly I thrust itin. I moved it slowly—vory, very slowly—so . that I might not distarb the old man’s sleep.

It was a low, dull, quick sound—much such a sound as a watch makes when enveloped in cot- ton. I i for breath; and yet the officors heard it not. I talked more quickly, more ve- hemently; but the noise steadily increased. [ ayose and argued about trifles, in a high key and with violent gestioulations; but the noise steadily incre: - Why tondd they not be gone? I paced the floor to and fro with heavy strides, as if exeited tofury by tho observations of the men; but the noise steadily increased. 0 God! what could Ido? I foamed—I raved Iswore! I swung the chair upon which I had sat, and grated it upon the boards; but the noise arose above all and continually increased. It grow louder—louder—/onder! And still the men chatted Pleasantly and smiled. Was it possible they heard not!” Almighty God !— no! no! .They heard—they suspected—they tnew. They were making’ a mockery of my horror! ‘This I thought, and thisI think. But within the opening so far that I could sce the old man as he lay upon his bed. Ha! would amadman have been so wise asthis? And then, when head was well in the room, I undid the lantern cautiously—ob. socautiously '—for the binges creaked. I undid it just eo much that a single thin ray fell upon the vulture aye. And this f did for seven jong nights—every night just at midnight—but I found the eye always closed; and so it was impossible to do the work; for it was not the old man who vexed ame, but his Evil Eye. And every morning, when the day broke, I went boldly into his chamber and spoke courageously to him, call- ing him by name in a«hearty tone, and in- quiring how he had the night. So you seehe would have been a very profound old man, indeed, to su: t that every night, just at twelve. I looked in upon him while he slept.

I fairly ; ? - 5 joa mit the deed ! tear up the planks !—here ! here! —it is the beating of bis hideous heart!” eel A Romanos on ta River.—On the 19th in- stant, as the fine steamer Florida was about starting on her. maiden trip from Omeha to St Louis, a tall, gaunt-feliow, of about twenty-six autumns, came on board with a blooming coun- try girl, of apparently not more than fourteen sent summers. He informed the clerk that she was his sister, and so timorous that it would be necessary, that they should ocoupy a state- room together. The clerk saw that their mu- tual concern was deeply sincere, and assigned them a room—one next the captain’s—register- ing them as Mr. Barbour sister. The sub- ject being incidentally mentioned to the eap- tain, J. H. Baldwin, he remembered that a young lady uuch resembling the fair passenger. had come on board to see them away. The statement of the kind brother that they had no relatives in that part of the country, and were bound to Joliet. therefore excited his suspicion. A plan was formed which resulted in converting Suspicion into certainty. he oo perm whose heart is if the right place, consulted with his officers, and it was reso!yed unanimously that the psir should be wedded. The happy intelligence was communicated to the parties in the most considerate and appro- priate manner. They were called into the cabin and their mutually delightful destiny unfolded. The young lady at once rushed to her fraternal © -mpanion’s arms with more than sisterly fer- yor, erying—‘ Oh! Jim, didn’t I teil you we chuckled at the idea. And perhaps the old man heard me; for he moved im the bed sud- denly, as if startled. Now you may think that I drew back—but no. His room was as black as pitch with the thick darkness, (for the shut- ters were close fastened, through fear ef rob- bers.) anil so [ knew that he could fot see the opening-of the door, and I kept on pushing it steadily, steadily. I had got my head in, and was about to open the lantern, whem my thumb slipped upon the tin fastening, and the old wan sprang up in bed, crying out + Who's there ?”” I kept quite still and said nothing: for an hour I did not move a musele. and in themean- time I did not hear the old man lie down. He ing ap in the bed listening; just as ne. night after night, hearkening to the death watches in the wall. Presently I heard a slight groan, and I knew that it was the groan of mortal terror. It was not a groan of pain or of grief, Ob. no! it was the low, stifted sound that rises from the bottum of the soul when overcharged with awe. I Knew the sound well. Many a night, just at midnight, when all the world slept. it has swelled up from my own bosom, deepeni with its dreadful echo, the terrors that d tracted me. I say I knew it well. I knew what the old man felt, and pitied him, although Ichuckled at heart. J knew that he had been lying awake ever since the first slight noise, when be had turnedin the bed. His fears had been ever sizce growing upon him. He had been trying to fancy them causeless but could not. He had been saying to himself, ‘It is] couldn't pass for brother and aister?” and nothing but the wind in the chimney; it is only clung to bim in a transport of grief and joy. & moase crossing the floor;’’ or, ‘it It was evident that she would perform, with- erieket which bas made a single chirp.” Yes, he had been trying to comfort himself with these suppositions; but he had found all in in. All in vain; because death. in approach- ing the old man, bad stalked with his black shadow before him, and the shadow had now reached and enveloped the victim. And it was the mournful influence of the unperceived sha- dow that caused him to fecl—alibough he neither saw nor heard me—to feel the pressure of my head within the room When I had waited 2 long time, very patient- ly, without hearing the old man lie down, I re- solved to opena little. avery, very little crevice in the lantern. So I opened it—you cannot imagine how stealthily, stealthily—until at length a single dim ray, like the thread of the spider, shot from outof the crevice and fell upon the vulture eye. It was open, wi out prompting, her part of the marriage cerce mony, but be ap; to think her *- wo wil- ling.” Hoe was, ever. informed succinctly of the captain's ultimatum—he must marry her, or one should be landed one side of the river, and the other upon the opposite side. To this be seemed not unwilling to assent. His Hero, however, would nét trust her Leander acroes the Mississippi. But his reluctangy was overcome by the clerk’s solemn and confiden- tial assurance that the captain was in a terrific passion, was a most desperate person, who would sooner shoota man than eat, and that he hada pistol in his pocket, which, it was plainly to be seen, his hand was burning to use. The young gentleman, feeling thus compelled to volunteer, explained that he would have married before starting, but that he should have missed the boat, and, ‘so help him God,”” be would have married herinSt. Louis. Ar- rived at Brunswick, Mo., a Justice of the Peace was summoned, who shortly appeared in the ladies’ cabin, where a circle was formed with j ide open; and I grew fu- rious as 1 gazed upon it.
