— — r> .......... THE GHOST HAIBEK. A CAPITAL STORY. My uncle Beagly, who commenced his commercial career very early in the present century as a bagman, will tell stories. .Among them he tells his single ghost story so often that I am heartily tired of it. la self-defence, therefore, 1 publish the tale in order that when next the good, kind old gentleman offers to bore us with it, everybody may say they know it. I remember every word of it. One line autumn evening, about forty years ago, I was travelling on horseback from Shrewsbury to Chester. 1 felt tolerably tired, and was beginning to look out for some snug wayside inn, where 1 might pass the night, when a sudden and violent thunder-storm came on. My horse, terrified by the lighting, fairly took; the bridle between his teeth, and started i off with me at full gftllop, through the lane and cross-roads, until at lenght I I managed to pull him up, just near the door of a neat-looking country inn. ‘Well,’ thought I, ‘there was wit in, your madness, old boy, since it brought us to comfortable refuge. ’ And alighting, I gave him in charge to the stout farmer’s boy, who acted as hostler. The inn kitchen, which was also the guest-room, was large, clean neat and comfortable —very like the pleasant hostelrv described by Izaak Walton. There weic several travelers already in the room probably, like myself, driven there for shelter —and they were all warming themselves by the blazing fire, while wailing fur supper. 1 joined the party. I’resently, being summoned by the hostess, we all sat down, twelve in number, to a smoking repast of bacon and eggs, corned beef! and carrots, and stewed hare. The conversation naturally turned on I the mishaps occasioned by the storm, ol • which evtiy one seemed to have his full share. O.ie had been thrown off his horse; another, driving in a gig, had been upset into a muddy d) ke; nil had got a I thorough wetting, and agreed unanimous-1 ly that it was dreadful weather—a regu-1 lar witches’ sabbath.

‘Witches and ghost prefer for their eab- ! ; bath a line moonlight to such weather as 1 tbi.-!’ ;■ These words were uttered in a solemn . tone, and with strange emphasis, b} one' of the company. He was a tail, dark-' looking man, and 1 had set him down in my own mind as a traveling merchant or i peddler. My next neighbor was a gay, well looking, fashionable-dressed young I man, who bursting into a peal of laughter, «aid: ‘You must know the manners and customs ol ghosts very well, to be able to ' tell that they dislike get'ing wet or muddy. The first speaker, giving him a daik ( fierce look, said: ■Young man, speak not so lightly of! things above your comprehension.’ ‘Do you mean to imply that there are j such things ns ghost?’ ‘Perhaps there are, if you bad courage ! to look at them.’ The young man stood up, Hushed with anger. But presently resumed his seat, he said, calmly: ‘That taunt should cost you dear, if it j were not such a foolish one.' ‘A foolish one!’ exclaimed the liter-, chant, throwing on the table a heavy leathern purse. ‘There arc fifty guinea. 1 am content to lose them, if, before the hour is endeed, I do not succeed in showing you, who are so obstinately prejudiced the form of any one of your deceased friends; ami if, alter you have recognised ! him, you will allow him to kiss you lips.' ; We ail looked at each other; but my young neighbor, still in ’.he same mocking manner, replied: •You will do that, will you?’ *Y es,’ said the other, *1 will stake these I fifty gunieas, on condition that you will pay a similar sum if you lose.’ After a short pause, the y'bung man said, gaily: ■Filly guineas, my worthy sorcerer, are 1 more than a poor college sizar ev.-r possessed; but here are li'e, which, if y* are satisfied, 1 shall be most willing to wager. The other took up his purse, saying, in a contemptuos ton*-; ‘Young gentleman, you wish to draw back.’ ‘I draw back!’ exclaimed the student. ‘Well, if 1 had fifty guineas, you should see whether I wish todraw back!' ‘Here,’ said I, ‘are four guineas which 1 will stake on yotu wager.’ No sooner had I made this proposition than the rest of the company, attracted by the singularity of the affair, came sot-

ward to lay down the money; and in a ' minute or two the fifty guineas were sub- ■ scribed. The merchant appeared so sure of winning that he placed all the money in the students hands, and prepared for his experiment. We selected for the pnrpose a small summer-house in the garden, prefectly isolated, and having no means of exit but a window and a door, which we carefully fastened, after placeI ing the young man within. We put writing mateaials on a small table in the sumI mer-house, and took away the candles. — I We remained outside, with the peddler among us. In a low solemn voice he be- : gan to chant the following lines: ; -Whatriseth slow from the ocean caves And the stormy surf? The phantom pale sets his blackened foot On the fresh green turf.’ Then raising his voice solemnly, he said: ‘Yon asked to see your friend, Francis Villiers, who was drowned three years ! ago off the coast of South America; what do you sec?’ ‘1 see,’ replied the student, ‘a white light arising near the window; but it has no form; it is like an uncertain cloud.’ We—the spectators —remained pro- 1 soundly silent. ‘Are you afraid?’ asked the merchant, in a loud voice. ‘I am not,’ replied the student firmly. After a moment’s silence, the peddler stamped three times on the ground, and sang: ‘And the ph am tom white, whose clay cold face Was once so fair. Dries with his shroud hi? clinging vast And his sea-tossed hair.’ Once more the solemn question: ‘You, who would see revealed the mysteries of the tomb—what !■) you see now? The student answered in a calm voice, but like that of a man describing things as they passed before him: ‘I seethe cloud taking the form of a phantom; its head is covered with along veil—it stands still' 1 ‘Are you afraid?' ‘I am not!’ We looked at each other in horrorstricken silence, while the merchant raisin"' his arms above his head, chanted in a o ’ sepulchral voice: ‘And the phantom said, as lie rose from the wave, He shall know me sooth! I will go to my friend, smiling and fond, As in our first youth!’

•What do you see?’ said he. 'I see the phantom advance; lie lifts his veil —‘tis Francis Villiers! he ap proaches the table! —he writes!—‘tis his signature! ‘Are you afraid?’ A fearful moment of silence ensued; the student replied, but in an altered voice: •1 ant not!’ With strange nnd frantic gestures the merchant then sang; ‘And the phantom said to the mocking seer, 1 come from the South; Put thy hand on my hand—thy heart on my heart— Thy mouth on my mouth.’ ‘What do you see?’ ‘He comes—he approaches me—he pursues rne— he is stretching out his arms—lie will have me! Help! help! Save me’.’ ‘Are-you afraid now?'asked the merI chant in a mocking voice. • A piercing cry, and then a stifled groan, ' were the only reply to this terrible quesl tion. ‘Help that rash youth!’ said the merchant bitterly. ‘I have, I think, won the wager but it is sufficient for me to have | given him a lesson. Let him keep his ' money, and be wiser for the future.’

lie walked rapidly away. We opened the door of the summer-house and found the student iu convulsions, A paper signed with the name ‘Francis Villiers,’ was on the table. As soon as the student’s senses were restored, he asked vehemently where was the vile sorcere who had submentally subjected him to such a horrible ordeal—be would kill him! lie sought him throughout the inn in vain; then, with the speed of a madman, lie dashed off across the fields in pursuit of him—ami we never saw either of them again, That, children is my Ghost storv! ■And how is it, uncle that after that, you didn’t believe iu ghosts?’ said I, the first time 1 heard it. ‘Because, my boy,’ replied my uncle, ‘neither the student nor the merchant ever returned; and the forty five guineas belonging to me and the other travelers, continued equally invisible. Those two swindlers car: ied them of, after bavin ' acted a farce, which w# like ninnies, be° lieved to be real.'
