SELECTED STORY.
A Ghost Story.
At tho commencement of thb inte t'Vll B?n
flict', Mrs-. ?'Turnbrook ?ttd licrtwo daughters
rctlrb? tal cHwooa, Md., wlierc they hired a
Very lmU?? omo, large house at a very itrifling
rent. During their residence in this abode,
tho lady received from her husba?il, General
Krank Turubrook, a draft for a very consider A
ble sum, which she: carried to the bimkdVofthe
town, aud requested to have it eushed. The
man, us was much the custom in those dAX*.
gave her a large portion of silver ttiuxuhange*.
As Mrs. Turubrook was proceeding/Mo pay
some visitH>, -shu rcquestt&i 'thai I've linker
would suuO "the ihoncy V.V:r house, of \vhieh
she described tiro %rt\5rat??to\. ^'&4^?rrrycl was)
instantly committed to the cure of a porter ;
and, on the lady's imiuiring of, him whether ho
understood, from her directum?, tho jd..cc t?
which his charge was to he conveyed, the turnt |
replied ibhnjt Veto jVcrfeV*"y :.Y\\' ;tvi tX the
pki'Cc designated, and that it was culled the
"Haunted IToufje.'' Tho latter pari of this r. us wer
was nddreused to the bunker, in a low tone of I
voice, hut \v..s overheard by Mrs. Turnbrook, f
She paid, however, no attention to the words;
and naturally supposed that the report connect-1
ed with her habitation was one of th- so which
arc raised by the imagination of the Ignorant ,
rc.spccd\ing,cy^r^4w?')h^ which is long untcu
anted, or remark.al.de for its antiquity.
A ft**' Weeks afterward, the words we're re
called to her recollection in a manner that sur
prised brr- The housekeeper, with many
apologies for being -obliged to incut ion any
thing that might appear so idle nnd absurd,
came to the apartment in which her mistress
was sitting, and said that two of the servants,
who had accompanied her from Virginia,
hud that morning given warning; and ex
pressed a determination of quitting her service,
on account of tho mysterious uois*^ toy which
they had been, night after night, disturbed
and terrified. "I trust, Carter," replied Mrs. ]
Turnbrook, '-'that you have too irtticli good
sense to be alarmed on J'oor own account by
any of these superstitious und visionary fears;
ami pray 'even: yourself in endbavoriirg to
tranquillize the apprehensions of others, and
persuading them to eontin?o in their places."
The persuasions of Carter were ineffectual.
The servants insisted that the noises which had
alarmed them were not the opcrations.of any
parthly beings and persevered in their rcsclu
1]q]} of returning to their native country.
The room from which the sounds were sup
posed, to haye proceeded was at n distance from
Mrs. Turnbrook's apartments, and immediately
over those which were occupied by the two fe
inaje scryaid.s, who hni) themselves been terri
fied. h.y them, and whn?? report had spread a
gcndr'fll panic through the rest of 'he family.
To quifit M10 tflnrni, Mfs. Turnbrook resolved
on lc.'tyjpg l,cr own PlmiHUOF lop a time, and
establishing herself ii? tho ono which had been
lately cjuittod by tho domestics. Thtl room
abovu WHS a. long, spacious apartment, which
appeared to huvo been for a very considerable
time deserted. Ju the ppHtro of the chamber
was a lr\rgo iron cage. It was |fh oxdvaordina
ry piocoof furniture to fiud'iu' any mansion ;
but the legend which the servants had collect
ed respecting it appeared to he still nioro ex
traordiintry. It was said that a late proprietor
of tho house*, a young man of enormous pro
perty, had in his minority been confined in
that apartment by his uncle and guardian j and
there hastened to u prematuro, death by the
privations and tho cruelties to which he was
exposed. Thoso cruelties had been practiced
undor the pretence of necessary corrections. It
was alleged that 'die was idle, stubborn, inat
tentive, of tin ^ntoward dispnsiliqu, which
iiothhrg h'xit ?cvbrity couldim'prov?." In his
bo3xn,o?d, frcq'nont chastisement,continued ap_
plica tum, hHd the refusal of every iutovvul 61'
reiaxaffbVf; ? were inivain essayc'd to urgo and
goad him to tho gfc'ivKf Hhd iU place his uncle
in possession of tho in'fidfiluHc'c. His constitu
tion ?tr?ggiod1 tyranny *of his unnatu
fal relntio'ii; arid winded aS it Was by tho un
mitigated oppression; still resisted with an ad
mirable vitality the efforts which were ingen
iously aimed against his existence. As he
drew nearer to the age in which he would
have beeii: legally delivered from tho. dangers
and impositions of his uncle, his dite was sub
joctod to irlore violent and repeated severities.
Every, even the slightest, offence was succeed
ed by the most rigorous inflictions. The iron
cago was threatened, was ordered, was set up in
the upper ehambur. At.first, for a few weeks,
it Fcnminod as all object Uf terror only. It-was
menaced that the next transgression of his
guardian's wishes wouhbhc punished by a day's
imprisonment, in that narrow circle] without the
possibiltty of rest, or the perini>sion of refresh
ment. Twice the cage was threatened, and re
mitted from an affected shoft of inerKy-.: t tie
belter to cover. tituA UJ palliate the premedita
ted enormities. The youth, who was about
sixteen, from tho dread of this terrible inflic
[ tion applied himself with Kleepless diligence to
lubors difficult to bo avboiuplished; and ex
tended?purpoilety extended?beyond the ca
pacity of theSt??eilt-. H Irf?od? were exact
ed ?dl iH j^W^WiWii 'to his ability, but his en
deavors and his performance. The task-master
eventually conquered. Then followed the im
prisonment, aud the day without food. Again
the imposition was set, again executed with
painful exaction, again lengthened, again dis
covered to be 'impracticable, aud again visited
Witto the iron. cage, and the denial of necessary
?= libs is ten co. The savage purpose of thus mur
dering tho. boy under the pretence of a strict
attention to his interest or his improvement,
was at last successful. The lad w.-rt declaY-eu
to be incorrigible. There was a feigned ne
cessity of more severe correction, lie was
sentenced to two \&HMaA>f captivity and priva
tion. f5o Itittfc? HA\ abstinence from food and
rest "was more than his unfaebled frame and his
broken spirit could endure ; and, on his uncle's
uvrrru*-: vrlil. tl.o ?f ii', by^OC^UlCTit h:0
iene.v. an hour p^jVioAkJi to the appoinftid time,
to deliver him from the residue of Iiis punish
ment, it was found that death had anlieipat .1
the (alsj mercy, and h.ai forever cmar.cipatod
the innocent sufferer from the tyranny of his
oppressor. The wealth, was won ; but it war
an unprofitable acquisition to him who had so
dearly purchased it. "What profit is it," de
mands the voice of Revelation, ' if a man
should gain the whole world, and lose his own
soul?" His conscience haunted hint. The
form of the dead and inoffensive boy was con
stantly before him. Iiis dreams represented
to his view the playful aud beautiful looks that
won all eyes toward him, while his parents |
were yet alive to cheer and to delight him ;
and then the vision id his sleep would change,
ami he would sec his calm suffering, and his
silent tears, and Iiis patient endurance, aud his
indefatigable exertions in attempting the ac
complishment of desperate exactions, and his
pale check, and ( his wasted limbs, and his
spiritless countenance ; and then at last there
was the rigid, bony, and distorted form, the
glazed open eye, the mouth violently com
pressed, and the clenched hands, on which his
view had rested for a moment, when till hie
wicked hopOS had attained their most sanguine
consummation, as he surveyed tlio corpse of his
murdered relative. Theft) recollections ban
ished him from his homo. The mansion was
left tcnantless; and, till Mrs. Turn brook had
ignorantly engaged it, all had dreaded to be
come the inmate of a duelling which had been
fatal to one possessor, and shunned as destruc
tive to the tranquility of his heir.
On the first night or two of Mrs. Turubrook's
being established in her now apartments, she
met with no interruption, nor was her sleep hi
the least disturbed by any of those mysterious
noises in the cage-chamber, for so it was com
monly culled by the family, which .-be had
been induced to expect by the representations
of the departed servants. This quiet, how
ever, was of very short duration. One night
she was awakened from her sleep by the sound
of a slow and measured step, that appeared to
be pacing the chamber overhead. It contin
ued to move backward and forward with nearly
tho same constant aud regular motion for fath
er- more than an hour: perhaps Mrs. Turn
brook's agitation may have deceived her, and
induced her to think the time longer than it
roully was, H at length ceased; morning
dawned upon her; the lady naturally felt ili.s
trcssed by the occurrence of the. night; it was
in every point of view alarming. If she
doubted its being the ofloct of any preternatu
ral communication, there was only another al
ternative, which was almost equally distressing,
to suppose that there were means of. entering
tho house, which were, known to stia;igers.
though concealed from .the inhabitants. ?She
went down to breakfast, after framing a roso.lu
? ' ! '?-v"?i?i??:"ir7i~." -tt?:???n?-"Tt ;

bvoo^ftd nerdaiigutors had nearly completed
tlicir-ibrcukfast, before her son,' a yodhg man
v?'ho littd lately Returned? ft?rii sea, descended
from' his apartment. "My dear Charles,'J-said*
bis mother, ??I wonder.you sutfviuot u?haincd of
yuur^udolcnco and your want of gallantry, .to
suffer ;your sisters aud myself to,finish ?tfr
breakfast before you arc ready td join us."
"Tudoed,' ihaddfih," ho replied, "it ?s not my
fuulcH? I 'am lato. I have not ?itad n?y sleep
the whole uight. There have bcou people
knocking-1 at my door, aud, pooping iuto my
room every half-hour since I. wont up-stuirs to
bed. I presume they wanted to sec if my
lightens extinguished'.1 If this be the case,
it is ifcally very distrcssihg/as I certainly never
gave you arty caufio to suspect that 1 should be
careless ,:iu taking so necessary a precaution ;
aud it is not pleasant to be represeutud iu such
a character to the domestics.'' ''Indeed, my
dear, the iutorrupfion has taken place entirely
without in)- knowledge. I assure you it is not
by any^ order of mibe' that yovtr room has been
looken inttJ: I caniiot think what could possi
bly induce any servant of mino to be guilty of
such a liberty. Are you certain that you bavc
nut mistaken the nature and origin of the
senn^s by which your sleep has been disturb
ed "Oh ! uo. There Could have been no
mistake.: I was perfectly awake when the in
terruption first took place; aud afterward, it
Was so frequently repealed as to prevent the
possibility of my sleeping."
More complaints from the housekeeper; no
servant would remaiu; every individual of the
family had bis tale of terror to increase the ap
prehensions of the rest. Mrs. Turnbrook be
gan tip be herself alarmed. Mrs. Atkins, a
very dear and approved friend) caihc on a visit
to Uots! She cohtinXuuCntuii lite subject which
had so] recently disturbed the family, and re
quested her advice. Mrs. A.tkius. a woman
devoid of every kind of superstitious feat , aud
of tried courage, understanding-, and rceuui
tion, ^determined tit once to silence all the
s^U'ic^ that bad been fabricated respecting the
engu-ado'm, and to allay their terrors by adopt
ing that "apartment fur her own bed-chamber
during the remainder of her residvueo at (Jlon
WtHldj;.. It--"""' ? *" ?lM?.vlA \..... nirunu.
' T^rrtexUirc-u tVi.it Iii"? half-measure could be
equally efl'ecfuiil : that if any of the family
wore to sleep there, though their rest should be
perfectly undisturbed', it would have no effica
cy iu tranquillizing the agitation of the family,
since the servants would naturally accuse cither '
Mrs. Turnbronk or her son of being interested
Witnesses, and doubt, the fact of their having
rcp'osed in the centre of the gii?st's dominions,
without undergoing any punishment for the
tcuieritv f?r their invading them. Abed wok
accordingly placed iu the apartment. Tbc
cage-rooiii was rendered as comfortable as pos
sible on'so short a notice ; and Mrs. Atkins
retired to rest, attended by her favorite spaniel,
saying as she bade them' good night. "I aud
ihy ilog. I flatter myself, arc equal to compete
with a myriad of-ghosts'; strict me entreat you
to be under no apprehension for the safety of
Ponto ami myself."
Mrs! Atkins examined her chamber in every
imaginable direction; she sbuuded every panel
of the wainscot to prove that there was uo hol
luwness which might argue a concealed passage;
and having bolted the door of the cage-room,
retired to rest, confident that she was .secure
against every material visitor, and totally in
j vrckl?lons of the airy cucroachiucuts of all
spiritual things. Her ?.'"surance was doomed
j to be short-lived : she had only been tf few
j minutes asleep, when her dog. which lay by
the bedside, leaped howling and terrified lipon
the bed ; the door of her chamber slowly
opened, and a pale, thin, sickly youth came in.
cast his eyes mildly toward her, walked up to
the iron cage in the middle of the room, and
then leaned in the melancholy attitude of one
revolving in his mind the sorrows of a cheer- (
leas and unblcst existence. After awhile, he
again" withdrew, and retired by the way he
entered. Mrs. Atkins, on witnessing his de
parture, felt the return of her resolution. She
was reassured iu her original belief iu the im
possibility of all spiritual visitations; she pcr
! suaded herself to believe the figure the work
of sonic skilful impostor, and she determined
on following ito footsteps. She took up her !
chamber-lamp, and hastened to put her design
into execution. On reaching the door, to her
hifinite surprise, she discovered it to be fasten
ed as she had herself left it on retiring tu bed.
On withdrawing the bolt, and opening the door
she saw the back of the youth descending the
staircase'; she followed, till, on reaching the
foot of the stairs, tl.o form appeared to sink
into the earth. It was iu vain to attempt con
cealing tlie occurrences of the night; her
voice, her manner, tho impossibility of.sleeping
another night iu the ill-oinened-chamber would
necessarily betray that something of a painful
ami mysterious nature had occurred. The event
wns related to .Mrs. Turnbrook. She deter
mined to remain nu lodger in her present hab
itation. Tho man, of whom the house had
been engaged, was spoken to upon the subject.
