Am Exciting Story. i 4t must be confessed that il is a very provoking thing to receive a letter calling you two bundreJ miles away on "immediate and important business." vYee.it is apvery provoking thing, indeed?at least, ' ao I found it, both in anticipation and in ) jtxy d,e?d, but (byre whs no belp f r it. J Snook*, my lawyer, wrote and told u?e ; that if, on the 25th, I was not at O , ^ I should probably., oss?never mind wbat, i>ut something which induced me to pack my portmanteau in all haste, seud (or a handsom, and drive to the X. V. '/. Sta tien. vjYbyp I arrived there, 1 found I | was too late for the train I bad wished to catch, and that the next one d:d not start for three quarters of an hour. Inwardly cursing my ill fortune,.1 went to the wait ing room, and Endeavored to make my self as comfortable as I could; but despite .*11 my attempts, I think I never knew time to pass so slowly in all my life, ex cept a certain twenty minutes about svhickj am going to tell. Although, as 1 said, tka lime weut very slowly,. nevartheless it did go ; and, in process of time, I found tnjself snugly en sconaed in a first-class carriage, which had but one occupant beside* myself, a ebeerlui looking, little old man, with gray hair and a strange, restless look j abeut the eves. Directly I got into the ! .carriage he addressed toe in a faiuiiiar | way.: ."A merry time to you." "The same to you," snid I, rather ! gruffly, as I was not in the beet of humor, 1 and diji not feel inclined to be cheeiful and neighborly. * Why, blets me, sir," said the litlle old | man, renewing the attack, "you have not anything wherewith to keep yourself warm ojp this eold winter's day; allow me to offer you ene ?f my travelling wrap pere. J always take care to bs well pro. vided witb such Utipgs yrhsi) J go on a journey." And my companion took from bis side a relied up rug, unrolled it, and ! taking a small mahogany box from (be folds, threw the rug (a me. "Thank you, fir," said I, feeling in j spite of myself a shade more cheerful. "Oh, no thanks, no thanks ; I do it for ror own MuetU, not yours, 1 assure , jo*." , . "Uew do yon njako out that)"' *Wby,I like to have a comfortable face opposite me; and, besides, the grand experiment, joe know." "What grand experiment !" I said, ouiewhal' startled bj the man's excited manner. i HQh, nothing, nothing," said he, color ! I ing violently, "only?that is to say?exactly ; are you a Freemason f" i No, eir." "Net a Freemason 1 Why, bless me ! \\ you ought roost certainly to becoroa one."

[ May I ask where you are going to !" "To C , "Ilare you any friend* thore l" None, I am sorry to say. I ?nt called : there on some disagreeable, though im\ porlnnl business."

'Anil wlum are we due at C ?" ''At*balf past S, I beliero." "Thank you'" Thus, for a time, our conversation ended, but we often renewed it attain, and . I began to regard my C.tmpnu'ou n? a clever, kind hearted, though rather ec centric old man. Sometiino after we had passed M , my eccentric friend composed bnnseil tor ( a sleep, *ml wat soon snoring, and il whs ! not long before I followed bis example. My dreams were troubled. Firet of nil, ! i dreamed I was being luiog ; then tlx At . I was being handoutled; aud, last, of all, ] that a great we:ght was uuonjiio, and that something was pressing heavily upon 1 my cbesl. I tben woke, with a start, to | find myself bound band aud foot, with a rope passed round my neck, and fastened ; to the umbrella rack behind, in susb a , manner that if I struggled in the least I . should inevitable choke myself; and iny fellow traveler was standing over ine^ I with one knee on my chest. * ' What are you doing," aaid I ; but j my sentence wn% cut short by a gag ; " itli.ii my ecceuinc irittuu iuru?i iiiiu uijr moutli and tried behind rny head. He ! I then blood away l? look at hie handi- j work, with eye? glaring like those of a j w rid beast, and his whole frame Iraru , bling with excitement. "Now," he said, with a rrild laugh,! ' now f al.all b? able to tr? niv grand ex- ' perimeul ! Now I shall be able to And whether the heart can be extracted while a man is alive, without kill ng him !? Twice I have failed, but life stars have told me that a third time 1 shall not fail. | O, fame, glory, immortality, I ha^e you ! in my grasjj ! What, |<ititul fool I do you 1 turn nnltt un.l traml.lo I If vnti rii* tnu I will die a glorious martyr to science : and j if you live, you and I will share the glory | of lliia grand discovery !" From this ridiculous rliedomontade, [ ' perceived that my pleasant eccentric travelling companion was a raving ma niae. What was I to do ! I could not mora band or foot, or even apeak, and the madman wan arranging on the teat itv front of 1110 a collection of bright alee) instruments, which lie took from the ma bogany box which I have mentioned he . fore. Was there any help for me 1 I tried to remember how long it was after we lutl M before 1 went asleep, aa I thought if w3 got to K the maniac would be discovered, and I should be relieved Ironi ibo horrible death whieh n >w seemed imminent; but as 1 bad been dozing some lime before I went regularly Oil' to sleep, I found that ( could not in the least remember what time Lad 1 passed.

At length erery tiling i??rnti(l to be lo hi* salisfactioh, and he took up a sharp, keen bladed knife. I shall never forget "iy sensations when I saw that little glittering instrument, so soon to t dyed "ilb hi? blood. 1 fell a cold shudcjsr run through my body, and I Ion fed to close my eyes, but they seemed to keep open by a sort of i horrible fa?eiaation. A It, or trying the 1 e.lge of the knife, and preparing a cloth, i and giving one final look to his lustra- i menu, my ecceotrio friend pressed hit linger close above my heart and said : "This is ltovv 1 hid k.oin^ to manage it, ' my friend ; I hiii going to cut a circle in Ihe Mesh, above the heart, with this j knife; ir will not hurt much, its I shall I only just cut through the skin, and the : knife is exceedingly sliarp. I shall then i I proceed to dig deeper with ibis instru j men I, and finally exuact the heart with this."

Slowly the sharp knife pic wed in my flesh, making my blood freeze in toy j veins, ami tnv eyeballs tiurn and seem ' ready to burst from their sockets, and j i now I felt my reas< n. gradually leaving [ me ; the strain upon my nerves was loo ; I much?I fell they must give way ; but j I I considered that il they did my only j ! hope would be gone; for if 1 moved I j I should he choked w.lh the rope around my neck. Slowly the sharp stee', impelled by a ' steady hand, continued its dead y cour>e; I and now the ciiclu was neatly accotu plished when I felt that ibo spued of the j traiu w,t? being gradually diminished.? | A ray of h?|te illuminated my breast, 1 J looked into lor compesnion'a eyes to *fe | if lie, too, noticed that we were Hearing K ; I'ui be aim too intent on Ins 1 horrible work. At length he leaned back and said : "There Dow, only about mi inch more and 1 shall commence the deep cutting." ; Only about an inch! And the station I was yet mjiiio way off. Oniy about an inch ! My life hung upon the merest | thread. It was not long that the experimenter | admited his diabolical \vo;k?be soon fell to it again, but I saw the lights of 1 F kilalion flash past the windows of j the carriage; I saw a strange arm seize j my tormentor ; 1 heard a loud and ap j ..I..... lil-j .i r - I. ?:i-I ! |>m ^ X'J >IM,S llini V* n U'UllCU ? l.U j ^ beast, and 1 became io epaibie.
