The wind tugged at it as if it would wrench it from its stoat fastenings. The gal e rose, shrieked, sobbed fitfully, Bank into monotonous murmurs, seemingly gath'ring strength, in the intervals for' renewed violence. It was a night to excite the fears ot thesnner---stitioua aa they re called stones oi disembodied spirits revisiting the earth. The landlord paced the floor with bent head and hands crossed behind him. The fire was low, but either the landlord 'was oblivions of the fact or the necessity for replenishing it was not apparent. The Banded floor wag clean. The room looked very bare. It served the doable purpose of top-room and parlor, bat Inst now there was nothing to be tapped; no sitters, and but little prospect of any that mens. . A woman, well advanced In years, oldertookinff than the landlord, passed through the room. Ehe carried a light, and when opening and closing the 'doors shielded it wun iter nana, xne lanaiora cast gloomy glances at the fire, but it was plain his thoughts were far away. The fiercest blast failed to excite more than passing interest. He was brooding oyer some p is or uupenaing eru. At tueenu of half an hour, possibly more, he tat down heavily in a chair, placed hi elbow on b table, and, leaning his head on his nana, gasea steadily tn tno nre. Jie was tans occupied when the woman re-entered. She looked at him grimly, in silence, then, as a blast threatened to blow the roof off the house, turned to her.husDana: jrPrav God out how la not on the ana a night like thia. 'Aye, aye. The Lord knows if he be alive. I sometimes think it has fared ill with him." It is four month sinoe he ran away, Daniel four weary months since he left Salem. The landlord's wife placed the light on the table. "If we had not been so nam on tne ooy no woom not nave ran away." Maynap, may nap. we eonia not tell. And the sea catches so many foolish bora. The wisest lose their sona. How were we to know? ' "He would he a comfort to us in -our old age." "He might have been a help; "but it's pant now. Grizzle, Nobody stops at the Glob now. The new inn takes all the custom." The landlord, spoke bitterly. "It I had a matter of a hundred pound besides what would pay my debt for tile boy misdoing I'd put a new face on the trade. I'd not let Matthew Dean have it his own Way. " '' "Where-" is the use talking," said his wife. "I dare say we will have a messenger from William Ayer on the morrow. 'Thy the last day. It were wiser if we prepared to move. An' you take my advice youll pat the best face on it when the mesaencer comes, instead of sittisz here till the stool is nulled from under' i Jton.. X wish we had left early in the wees, u wouia wave less to tne grace ox oar creditor. Ho one could have said, as plenty will, that we are pinched for time." "Peace, woman!" said the landlord. "The day not over, Grizzle." And, a if to verify his words, the door opened and a visitor-entered. A large man, with rugged feature and missive frame. He carried stout stick, which he laid aside open entering. "Good evening to you, Master Hobbs," aid the landlord, rising. The landlord's wife bowed, trimmed the light, and retired. The visitor sat before the lire, and, shrugging hia broad shoulders, said: "A very pad night for trade, Mr. Meade, I fear." "Trade!" Daniel Meade, replied, scornfully; "there's little trade oome to Globe Inn now. The new inn ha caught the people fancy. But, if misfortune did not pre me, I'd tell Mr. Dean another story. 1 wa saying to Grizzle awhile aso howeaav it would be to bringr the custom back.

V"I ean say I am sorry for yon," Master Hobb replied. "There's plenty know the story. I'll take some punch that wind goes through a man." The landlord prepared the punch, and Mr. Hobb sipped it slowly, while the landlord bustled about and replenished the fire. A he moved about, he looked aaksnee at his visitor; then he placed his hand on the table between them, and, looking down at him, said: "Ten hart come from wilUgm. Aver, X

The Marshal of Salem sipped his punoh ana remained silent, it was not tot mm, he reSeoted, to add to tho landlord's discomfort. His duty was performed. ITe una provua uis menuamp oy giving time, ly notice. At that moment another visitor en tend-a man who bowed ceremoniously to both. The' new-comer was tall, with asrs nair, a muauy sum, aquiline nose. ana piercing DincK eves. "I did not think to And suoh goodcom psny as Master Hobbs," said the newcomer, "Kor did I think I would mBet you,' the Marshal replied, nodding,. Sit you down and let the fire warm your blood." , The new-comer seated himself opposite tne juarsnai, ana, addressing the landlord, aaid: "Yoh may-give me (ixi Same comfort Master Houbs relishes the hotter the better. I had business further down the road, else you would not see me here such a night as this." The landlord brouehthiin his punch. and Giles Ellis was in the not of lift ing the mug to his lips, when the door was blown open, xne, blast oiew out tne lisht and whirled the sparks in eddies in the wide fireplace. The landlord uttered an angry exclamation as he relit the solitary light, and then tho Marshal and Giles KUis behel'J a young man both knew well standing near. iou mignt team now to open a aoor, said the landlord, sullenly) a b turned to the last comer. "It was the wind," said the young man, as he shifted his foot and looked from one to the other, apologetioally. His wavering blue eyes seemed to shift con tinually, xney never met tne eyes oi tne person he addressed. They were either upon the ground, or glanced sideways. xne owner or these shitting eyes appeared to be at a loss to know what to do with his hands and feet. The latter were lifted and placed across eaoh other alternately; hi hand fumbled with his garments, plucked at his buttons, or were rubbed against eaoh other. The landlord waved a hand to a sett. "Yon may as well take your ' comfort, Ezra Easty. Is these aught I can do for yon?" Instead of seating himself, Ezra Easty advanced to the landlord, and whispered to him: "I come, Master Me ade, to tell you a customer is near. I overtook him on the road. If my master wag not so hard to please, I might have staid with my aunt till the morrow. I have come a long way since i o'clock had I known what I learned on the road," he held np his hat and passed hia fingers through hi wet hair, "an I'd made master's time my time tiU ibe storm was over." " What like is this custom ar?" the landlord inquired, coldly. "A sailor, I'll be bound, by his talk, be is coming from Marhlehead, I think. There's tall: of a terrible wreck. This be one of the crew, I dare say. He asked me where he could get quiet lodgings, not in the heart of Salem; ne was of a quiet kind, he said which, considering he was in drink, I do not doubt. 'Master,' said I, "you'll be well and truly served at Globe Inn.' Then I made sure he wa well on the road, and made excuse to get on before him. Hark) how it blows. I've heard no such wind before. And now," Ezra Easty added, "I'm in a condition for a wanning cup something to keep np one' spirits on a terrible night. " The landlord served him promptly, and, unnoticed by the others, thrust back into his hand the coin extended him. The door opening the same time, Ezra Easty' words were verified. A man with long hair and uncut beard stalked into the inn, closing the door after him very deliberately. His face and bands were brown with exposure to son and wind. Looking around him, he advanced to a vacant seat, sat down, drew Up another chair beside him, and in a deep voice said: "Good evening to all here." Then, perceiving Ezra, he addressed him directly: "Are not you tha lad that spoke me or my way here?" "The same," Ezra replied, but without looking at the stranger. "Landlord, a jorum for the lad and another for me. What matters if he hag his comfort it is a thick skin aye, better seasoned than mine that is not bettered with savory cheer a night like this. But yours, I'll be sworn, is good cheer. The worst, I say, would be welcome now. I want something to wash this keen Massachusetts wind out of my throat." The landlord quickly poured out the liquor, mixed it, and handed it to the stranger. As the sailor it was plain to all he was a sailor lifted his mug, he nodded to the young man, east a side glance at the landlord, and, saying, "Your good healths," swallowed half the eontents before be removed the mug from hi lips. The Marshal of Salem observed his movements narrowly, ai did Giles Ellis, but neither manifesteci the slightest interest in the newcomer. "-Yon are a stranger?" said the land, lord. "Yes, call me a stranger. It's long sinoe I set foot in Salem." At that the Marshal and Giles Mlis turned and looked at the sailor deliberately. The savior looked at .them with equal gravity, "This is the Marshal of Salem," Bald the landlord, "and this is Giles Ellis, a well known in Salem as the Marshal." The sailor nodded to each in turn, then turned to the landlord. "If they will do me the honor" he extended a hand to the mngs "fill up. Aa for me," he laughed, "I come from a country where Marshals are unknown." "You have been in strange parts," said the Marshal. "Many years," the sailorreplied. "Three of them where no white man is ever seen," "Ay. That must be a great distance," Giles Ellis leaned near the sailor. "It wa in Africa." The sailor unbuttoned big jacket, shrugged his shoulders, pushed the sleeves of his jacket up, displaying uneonsoioualy strange figures on hia arm in various colors, and leaning toward the others, said, deliberately: "I said Africa. I was one of three saved out of seventy-seven. I'd not cared for that. Since I left American soil three ships have gone down under me. One was in the Mediterranean, one was in the British Channel, the other on the coast of Africa. I tell you, I've been in places where hell is brewed." Ezra Easty recoiled. The others sat erect. The landlord made a pretense of trimming the light, and replenished the Are once more. There was a lnll in the storm. "Ay, I oall it brewing hell where human beings are maimed and drowned and sold." "Oh," said Giles Ellis, greatly relieved, "he is talking of slave ships." Then the Marshal-settled himself comfortably in hia seat again. The sailor smiled. "Yon did not take me for a pirate. Have I a pirate' jib?" Ezra Easty shrank into the corner eloser. "Mates," added the sailor, "if I were minded to relate what I've seen it would. - make your blood run cold. But that's my affair. Five years of life with hell in sight three yoars in hell itself. My two mates that were saved out of the wroek on the African coast well, no matter. The devils spared me. Maybe I was not palatable.

I've lltat here; striking nis oieast again, -that wonid inaKO you onen vmir evea." The landlord's wifecoming iH nnobervea, looxea quickly lroui the Bailor to her husband ou hearing this speech. The landlord's face naled. He inolined his ear to Ezra Easty again, ousting a irown upon nig wiie. nzm wnisperoii: "Said I not so he .means the diamonds. I'll be bound thoy are sewed in his jacket. But see the purse." The sailor had produced- a curious purse. As he opened it, h said: 1 ve canied this seventeen years twica-it was as good us lost -It's mine yet. There's none like it. save one. in all the world. Here, landlord, pny jourself, and give mo lodging. "Is it true there is a wreck off Marblehead?" the Marshal asked, as ho rose. "Aye.- - -Tlnrelrtp Eliza has ln'aaelast voyage. I'd no hand in it She was bringing me home me and ten other snip-wrecked Bailors, l uon t count this amona my wrecks nor would there have been a wfesk if the crew had kept from the rum. But when they stove the cask the worst were the shipwrecked sailors, mind you, just back from the gates of death well, then i knew it would be short sailing for all of us." "And were many saved?" the landlord's wife asked, She was thinking of her son. Perhaps be was one of the men who invited death the second time. . "Some. I don't know bow many. You see, there was a fight after we got on shore later ou young blood boils easily. I had no hand in it. I can drink, and I ean let it alone Another jorum, landlordwhat, yon are all going? I'm for use, not the abuse. Your good healths, and unless I change my mind I'll be stowed in bed before any here." Apparently all the liquor this man drank had little effect npon him, nnlens, possibly, it made him brighter and more companionable. ' "It's time I wag gone. " said Ezra Easty, leaving his corner and eying the sailor with saucer-like eyes. "Good-night, Master Hobbs; good-night. Muster Ellis." He opened the door and wag gone on the instant. The Marshal but toned up hi coat; uuea jsius aia tne same, and together they took their leave. "It's long since I've laid in Christian bed," said the sailor. 'I think I'll enjoy mine to-night. I'm ready, landlord, whenever you say the word." The landlord gave him a light and led the way no-stairs. When they were in the room the landlord pointed to the window. "If you want more air the window opens inward. There is the hook I made myself. Good-night. " The Bailor examined the window, and observing a breadth out of the leads, looked about for something to place in the hole. Then he stuffed nis handkerchief in the opening and began to disrobe. There was a bench on the side op posite the window. The sailor sat down on this, plaocd his olotues near him. carefully concealed his puree and a Bilk band that was wound over his shouldets and under bis arms under the pillow. Then he blew the light out and laid down. TO BE CONTINUED. The Literary Boston Janitor. . FoBtnm&ter and their subordinates have some curious experiences at times. Not loner ago General Corse received a complaint from a well-known woman of letter, who passes the winter months in Boston, to the effeot that her copy of the Atlantic Monthly H as invaria bly delayed much after the time when it should naturally be received. When finally it did come to hand tne leaves were always cut and it bore the appearance of having been read in transit. 8he was inclined to the belief that some one connected with the postoffiee, a carrier, perhaps, was in the habit of taking it home to read before deliver ing it. The complaint seemed reasonable, aud an inspector wai detailed to look the matter np. He ipon discovered that tho postoffiee and its employes were guiltless in theWtter, but that the janitor of the hotel in which the lady had her apartments was in the habit of retaining her Atlantic for a time for his own private perusal. Boston is probably the onlyjcity where the janitors of the buildings are suflicienty interested in the clasp of literature which the Atlantic Monthly furnishes to delay the delivery of the mails for their intellectual enjoyment.

Ef he's strong, folks praise him; ef he's weakno matter how hard he may try ter do right folks will speak ill o' him. Now, ef strength is born in some men an' weakness in udder men, who is to blame?
