A tall man stood without, his garments clinging to him in wet folds and the water running from thcmv in streams. The old man help tip the candle to his face and saw a prominent nose and a pair of keen eyes under a wide hat, and for the rest there was a handsome, rather benevolent, mouth, and a mass of auburn beard. The man was a stranger to Dim. "Good evening,* sir," he said, in ? bluff, hearty voice. "May I come in and get dry? Such u ducking I haven't had since I fell off Ffeehaven Dock, long ago. Will ?>u allow such a wet rat an youi "Yea, come in," Perry replied; anc ushering the stranger into the room, hi brought some kindlings and light wood, with which he soon made a fire in thi fireplace. The stranger took off his coat and vest, and squeezed the water from them, hung them on a chair, and addressed himself to the drying of bis extremities. The old man looked on in moody silence, and the stranger was compelled to make the first advances. "A nice place you have here, I should think. I saw it from the bottom of the hill, before the storm came up." "Who are you?" Perry abruptly asked. "Do you conic heie on any business? Have you anything to do with that tascul Murch, who has robbed me of all my property? I don't know, sir; perhaps I do you an injustice; but I have become embittered against everybody. f?ll i ii asK you Kinuiv, 11 you came Here spying for Issas Murch, to leave peaceably?and now." On my honor, then, sir," replied the other, much surprised at, the questions, "I don't know anything of Murch, and I'm above spying for him or anybody. I came into Freehaveu, down below here, this afternoon, in the steamboat, and expected to walk over to Wcstlock before ttie rain came on. I got caught, and I made for the first shelter I saw. but if you'd rather I would go" "No, no," interrupted Perry; "I wouldn't turn a dog out iuto the storm, much less a human being. Stay till you are dry, and the rain is over; and that, I think, won't be before morning. I'll give you a bed." Finding the old man hut little inclined to talk, the stranger bade his host good night and went to the room assigned to him. It was then about ten o'clock. The storm was at its height, and it continued for an hour longer, when it abruptly ceased. The suddenness of its cessation aroused the occupant of the r?om, and wearied with his stress of emotion, he took his candle and ascended the stairs. He had no heart for auything but his own dreadful miser}'; and he would probably have forgotten the presence of a Stranger in his house but for a rav of light issuiug from the keyhole of the chamber which he had bade him take. Randolph Perry paused, and merely obeying a sudden impulse, stopped and placed his eye at the hole. lie had not the least curiosity about this man, and his aft was certainly without motive.

I entered by wide gate and found myself surnded by great walls in a court which tained perhaps five acres of ground. ! walls of this court were about eight ; thick, and as I examined them I nd that th?y were in fact made up of eon holes about three feet square and feet deep, some of which were open others of which were closed with rble slabs on which were printed the ics and virtues of the dead who were I Ted o way within. There were thollds of these pigeon holes, and my guide weit me n cara giving tee rates, an it I see that these holes are rented to the bodies of the dead, and the de tells me that the most of them are en lor about, five years, after which bones of the deceased arc taken out, pigeon hole is cleaned and it is ready the next occupant. It costs $25 for use of oue of these pigeon holes for ! years, and this seems to be the shortterm for which they are leased.
