A MIDNI?ffl^APPARITION. 0 treacherous night? Thou lencTst. thy ready-veil to every treason, Aud teeming mischief thriveB beneath thy shade. Mr. Colebrook was dead. He was a rich man, yet a slight acquaintance with him would have convinced even a superfi? cial observer that he was not a healthy man.. He was misanthropic in bis views though he had the reputation in the street of being a very kind-hearted and bonevo lent man. Every day seemed to usher him into the arena of a new strife with the powers of misery. Apparently he was tired' of life and impatiently waited for the hour that had now come, and which would put him beyond the trials and woes of this sublunary existence. And yet many could remember when he was a gay and cheerful person. Before his marriage with a poor but beautiful girl; some years before his death, ho had worn a sunny smile, and his fife seemed to him a pleasant dream. Though only thirty-five when he mar? ried, people said there was too much dif? ference between his own ago and that of hia wife, who was, I believe, about twenty two. She had been poor, and forced to content herself with but Jew of tho gaye tios of life; but now she was rich, and hor indulgent husband gave her free access to his coffers. Wealth fostered pride, and Mrs. Colebrook became a leader of fash? ion?the gayest of the gay. Her beauty and influential position in society made her a queen, and her smile was courted by I the brilliant and dissolute. The house, ; when she was at home, was always filled with gay gallants and lordly ladies. AH the world could see this; and the next thing it saw was, that Mr. Cole? brook grew sad and melancholy?that his wife was cold to him, and there was little if any sympathy between them. The people said the poor man had married badly, ami the croakers all "knew it would bo so." ? Mr. Colebrook was dead. Whatever woes had weighed him down, ho was be? yond their reach now. People said he had died of a broken heart; that the whirl of pleasure in his own house had been a hell to bim; and that his gay wife had been the scorpion who had stung him to death. For my part, I pay but little attention to the busy tongue of gossip. I account all it says, whether good or bad, as mere slander. Whatever stories I had heard concerning Mrs. Colebrook?and I had heard many?passed "in at one ear and out at the other." "Mr. Morton ?" said a man at my door. "That is my name." "Mr. Colebrook is dead, and Mrs. Cole? brook wants you to come up to the house and lay him out." "Mr. Colebrook," I exclaimed, ftvr the intelligence was very unexpected to me, as well as to the whole city, when it was announced. I had heard that he was suffering from an attack of billions cholic, but it had not been even rumored that he was danger? ously ill. "Yes, he is dead," replied the man; "Mrs. Colebrook wishes you to make haute." "He got very bad last night, and grew worse ever since, till twenty minutes ago, when he died." Mr. Colebrook's house was not five min? utes walk from home, and I hastened there to perform the office for tho dead. I was shown into the room where the corpse lay, just as death had done its work. The sufferer had apparently died in tho greatest agony. The bed clothes still evidenced the struggle between the tyrant and his vic.tim. With the assistance of a man servant who had gone to my house, I laid him out and put the room in order. I was about to depart when the man servant called me back. "Mrs. Colebrook would like to see yon," he said, as he showed mo to a parlor in front of the room in which the corpse lay. She appeared to be in the deepest dis? tress, and the family phj'sician wan still present, using his best efforts to reduce her to a Btate of calmness. Ho succeeded to some extent; and she spoke to me with tolerable self-possession. 'You will make all the arrangements, Mr. Morton," said she. "I will, madam." "Oh, it was terrible !" groaned she. "Be calm, Mrs. Colebrook," interposed Dr. Row no. "I cannot, Doctor, I feel as though I should become distracted." "Nay, madam, control yourself," said the doctor, who was a young and very good looking man. He took her hand and uttered some sentimental remark, which I have now forgotten. "Will you watch with him ?" she almost gasped, looking eagerly at me. "Watch with hint?" asked Dr. Rowne, in surprise. "Yes." "It is entirely unnecessary." "This corpse must have watchers," she added more calmly than she had yet spoken. "There is no need of that, but?" "I would not have him lot alono for all tho world/' she said, with a kind of con? vulsive shiver. "No possible harm could befall him." "But it seems so neglectful to desert the body as soon.as the spirit has fled." "It is entirely a matter of choice," I added. "Couldn't you watch with him, Mr. Morton ?" "It you particularly desiro it." "I do; 1 could not bear to have his re mains guarded by a mere servant. You will oblige me very much." I consented to the arrangement, and promised to return hy nine o'clock in the evening. After ordering the cofSn for the de? ceased, for at that time they were not kept on hand to such an extent as they are now?and attending to my private af? faire, I again repaired to Colebrook man sion. It was customary at the time of which I write for two persons to perform the service for which i was engaged, though watching was then going rapidly out of fashion;, hat as my business was with the dead, I was perfectly at home in the chamber of death, and was even better satisfied to he alone than with company. I had brought an interesting book from home, and Mrs. Colebrook had provided a very interesting repast for me in the din ning-room below, so thaj, I looked forward to a very comfortable night. Throwing niyself'into a large rocking chair, which had been placed there for my use, I was soon engaged in the entertaining pages of my book. As often as the clock struck I arose and examined the corpse, moisten? ing the face with alcohol, and wiping away the purging at tho mouth. At eleven o'clock some one entered' the house and came up stairs. They were the feet of a man, and I heard him enter a parlor adjoining the room of death. Though it seemed rather singular circum? stance that a man should enter the honse at that time of night, I thought nothing more of it till I heard voices engaged in earnest conversation. In a few minutes they grew louder and more distinct, and I recognized the voice of Dr. Rowne. Perhaps Mrs. Colebrook was sick and needed his assistance. But he spoke Dot in the tones of his profession. The other person spoke in a whisper; but the doc? tor in his natural voice, and seemed to be under no restraint. ThiB house was still as the tomb, and though 1 made no effort to hear what was said, the expressions "will," "three wit? nesses," "thirty days," and others of a similar character came distinctly to my ear. They aroused my curiosity. Who was this Dr. Rowne? Why was he here at this unseasonable hour? Well, it was none of my business, and a half dozen times I determined not to concern myself about it. But it was in vain that I tried to fasten my mind upon the book again; it had lost the power to interest me. I glanced at the door which opened into the room where the speakers were. It was the month of May, and the weather was quite chilly. I had neglect? ed to bring any extra clothing with me, and I began to feel uncomfortably cold. I rose and paced the room for several minutes. "Both wills" come to my hearing in the unguarded tones of Dr. Rowne. 1 paused and looked at the door. Ap? parently the other person, who I doubted not was Mrs. Colebrook, was speaking, but I heard nothing. I threw myself into tho chair and began to shiver with cold again. On the table lay a clean Marseilles quilt, which had been left there by a servant, and in the absence of any? thing better, I unfolded it and threw it over my shoulders. It completel}' onvel oped my body, and I felt quite comforta? ble again. "Destroy the new will," said Dr. Rowne. I dropped my book, for this looked like foul phi)'. It occurred to mo that Mr. Colebrook's poor relations would have to suffer for this midnight conference. I knew that ho had an only sister, an in? valid, who was dependent upon his boun? ty for subsistence, and my blood boiled with indignation as I thought of what might be the result of this midnight inter? view. I arose from my chair and went to the door. That the end will justify the menus 1 do not think is sound logic, but whcie a poor, suffering, dependent woman was in danger of being cast upon tho tender mercies of a cold world, 1 was content to be blamed for the meanness of caves dropping, if thereby I could prevent so foul a wrong. Before 1 did it I could not but recall the reputed character of Mrs. Colebrook. Without believing much of the gossip that had been circulated concerning her, I could easily arrive at the conclusion that she had been tho bano of her husband's happiness. I had been personall}' acquainted with him who now lay cold in death before me, so that I anv obliged to guess at the facts in the case. My own observation, though I moved in an humbler sphere than she, was sufficient to assure me that all was not right. I placed my ear to the key? hole. "When we aro married"? "Hush !" said Mrs. Colebrook. They spoke in whispers then, and I could distinguish nothing more. Need I have heard more? "Woman, angel, or devil?" Was it she who had wept great tears in my presence, who had trerabicd in the agony of grief before me, now calmly plotting with tho paramour, bargaining away the affections which should have lingered like a weeping angel over the couch of him who was not buried out of sight ? Was she who had groaned in bit? terness at her bereavement, now schem? ing to rob her sister and orphan of her bounty ? "Oh, woman, falso as fair! Yet she is not a woman ; sho is a demon !" The clock struck twelve and I turned from my reflections to attend to the corpse. The alcohol which had been prepared to wet tho face was all used, and I needed a further supply Taking the dish in my hand, I went to tho door with tho inteu tion of calling Mrs. Colebrook for it. First rapping on tho door to surprise them, I opened it and stepped into the room. "I neod a little more alcohol, Mrs. Cole? brook," I began. She roso from her chair, and with ono long and most unearthly shriek, fell upon the floor. Dr. Kownc's knees smote each other, and he shrank back to the furtherest cor? ner of the room. "Who are you ?" he gasped. Of course 1 was very much surprised at that singular reception. Long familiarity with the dead had made me so indifferent to those dreads and fears which disturb many persons, that I had little considera? tion for nervousness on this subject. "Who are you ?" groaned the doctor, his teeth chattering with terror. ; Then it flashed upon my mind that the quilt which enveloped my body was the cause ofthe mischief. I was involuntarily personating the ghost of the deceased, Mr. Colebrook, and I do not wonder that the guilty wife and wretched accomplice were torrificd when at midnight I stalked into tho room. I I had pinned the counterpane around my neck, eo that nothing could be seen of me but my face. I was a ghostly spectre, coming? "How awful ia <bat hour when conscience stiDgs," To curse her for the base treachery she i was concocting. No wonder she lainted, no wonder even the doctor trembled. ' I threw off the quilt and told the doctor who 1 was. "See what }*ou have done!" said he, pointing to the prostrate lady. "I heard some voices here, and I came for some alcohol." "Need you have come in that garb?" "I had quite forgotten that i had the quilt on." "You have killed her, 1 believe," ho con? tinued, bending over the prostrate form of Mrs. Colebrook, We raised her up and placed her upon a Ioo-nge. She was not dead, and pres? ently her eyes opened. . "Where is he'i'T gasped she, shaking convulsively. "Be calm!" "He will haunt me all my days." "It was only Mr. Morton." Her eyes glared upon me, and then rolled up in her head. Heaven grant that I may never see such a hideous expression again. She was in a fit. The house was alarmed, and Dr. Rowne used every exertion to restore her, but all in vain. "She will die," ho said savagely; "you have killed her." "Which will did you destroy, Doctor?" I asked. He staggered into the corner of the room, unable to reply. He would never accuse me again and yet I promised not to expose him; but it was in deference to the invalid sister of the deceased that I allowed myself to be silent in the pres? ence of infamy. Before daylight there was another corpse in the house; and it was told for two months after, that Mrs. Colebrook had been killed by the shock of her hus? band's death. I buried them both two days after, and I had the pleasure of seeing the Colebrook fortune pass into tho hands of the poor and deserving sister. I have never seen or heard from Dr. Rowne from that day to this. It is said he went to the East Indies. If he did the devil is with him there, and always will be. Terrible Scene* The Erie (Pa.) Dispatch gives tho fol? lowing account of the destruction of the two rear cars on the Lake Shore Road. It says: Now comes tho horror of the scene. These two cars having parted with the train, which could not be stopped until some distance had been made, the last one of tho train, and the last one to leave the track, went over on its end with a force which caused every passenger, tho stoves, and all the scats of the car. to sink like a dead weight in the lower end. It turned a complete somersault, and stopped on its side near, the bottom of the precipiece, forty feet below the track. The other car rolled down and rested on its side. The signal ot "down brakes" had attract? ed the attention of the people at the sta? tion, but none of them were able to reach the scono soon enough to render efficient ^ assistance. .We gather from what we soon afterward saw, and from the lips of those who were first present, tho follow? ing particulars of the scene : The last train of tho car had no more than stopped its somersaults before it was on fire. Tho nature of the embankment, together with the ice upon the steep de? clivity, would not admit of immediate assistanco, even though hundreds of peo? ple had been at hand, lor no ore could go down the embankment hurriedly without loar of death. The men who wore first at the scetio managed to reach the car by going down, ono holding upon another, thus forming a line track to tho car. But they were too late. The men. women and children in the car had been so se? verely injured by the fall and fright that they were alarmed and helpless, and before tho feeble assistance, which was hastily organized, reached thorn, the car was so enveloped in flames that their reseue was impossible. The sceno at this time cannot be described. The voices of men directed to heaven for help, the shrieks and prayers of women asking for assistance, and the wailing of ehildren, was the most soul-piercing and agonizing sounds that ever reached mortal ear. The flames were gaining very rapidly, and arras were protruded through the shatter? ed windows, heads wore extended, and the cry for help was intensified by the increase of heat, of pain, of agony, and the certain prospect of destruction. The reader must picture this sceno, we cannot describe it. Our ears will never lose tho 60und of the plaintive wails, the beseech ings for help, the heart-rending shrieks, the fiery scene, and tho last, last look. The few men who could, who were not struck dumb, worked manfully. They succeeded in taking out three persons who were removed elsewhere to die, but they could not subdue the flamen which were roasting their fellow-beings alive. They could not answer the prayers of the agonized victims ot death. They could do nothing but look at them roast, listen to them shriek, sicken at the sight, and pray to God to deliver them from another such scene. As the odor of burning flesh, human flesh, rose upon the air, it seemed as though the place had turned into a very hell, and when tho shrieks came from flames and smoke, hands were held aloft through the grim atmosphere, the world and flesh seemed a mockery in realit}*. Let us close this horrible-scene by saying that from tho best information we could obtain, but five out of forty of the pansengcrs in this car escapod. The rest?fully fort)1?were buried alive. -o~ ? A tradesman presented a bill for the tenth time to a rich skinflint. " It strikes me," said the latter, "that this is a pretty round bill." "Yes," replied the trades? man, " I've sent it round often enough to make it appear so, and I have called now to get it squarred." ? The light of love is very beautiful amid scenes of sorrow, and as the moon? beams seems holier and more tender round a ruin or churchyard than in festivej halls, so is affection brighter when bestowed up? on the wretched than when attracted by youth and happiness.' Betting on Babies. The editor of the Columbia (Pennsyl? vania) Spy, relates the following pleasant incident: Last week, two prominent and influen? tial business men of Columbia, got into conversation on thc comparative merits of their babies, each one saying that he had the best baby, and the conversation wax? ed warm on this point. Tlie matter was finally left to the three disinterested per? son?, and the decision was to be given at an oyster supper,, the party whom the com? mittee decided against paying for the same. It is. well enough to state here that one was a male and the other a female. The babies were each duly examined by the committee. Their finely drawn features, capacity for milk and Winslow's syrup, good looks, weights, health, lungs, good? ness, and gentle qualifie?, and the number of sleepless nights they had caused their fathers?all these were inquired into and taken into consideration by thecomm'ttee chosen for the purpose?one of them a gray- haired veteran, who had reared and dandled on Ins-knees many a baby, declar? ed that he was a good judge and rather liked his mission. Alter all this had been gone through with, nothing was now lett but to partake of the supper, which was prepared by mine host, Black, of the Washington House, on Monday evening last ; and such a supper?oysters in every conceivable style, with all necessary ac? companiments. After full justice had been done to the elegant banquet, tire committee made the following report : "We, the undersigned, having been ap? pointed to examine and report on the first fruit of Mr.-and wife, and the last fruit of Mr.-and wife, would re ! speetfui?y report that, after examining the babies of the respective parties the com? mittee are of the unanimous opinion that Mr.-? and wife, have the finest male child, and that Mr.-and wife have the finest female child. The committee are, therefore, of the opinion that Messrs. -and-shall bear an equal pro portion of the expe-jwea of this great ban? quet, ?fcc., as both parties have done admirably, and the committee hope that they will continue their efforts, and carry out the scriptural injunction to increase and multiply." [Signed by the Committee.] _-o Sensible to the Last.?It has long been observed by medical writers that death is frequently preceeded by insanity, a fact which has occasioned the remark that it was not astonishing for everybody knew that when folks get madder, they were about to c?ie. This reminds us ot a case which occurred many years ago in aPhila? delphia court, wherein a pretty young wid? ow was in danger of losing two-thirds of her husband's estate?his relatives groun ding their claim on the alleged insanity of the defunct. It nay be as well to premise that the presiding judge was not only cou vival, but also very gallant. "What were your husband's last word*?" inquired the attorney. Thc pretty widow blushed, and looking down replied, "I'd rather not tell." "But, indeed, you must ma'am. Your claim may be decided by it." Still blushing, the widow declined to tell. At last a direct appeal from the bench elicted tne information. "Ile said, 'kiss me, Polly, and open that other bottle of champagne.' " We know not whether it was admiration for the deceased husband or the living wife, that inspired the judge at this instant, but he at once cried with all the enthusiasm of conviction.?"Sensible to the last" Kissing.?Josh Billings says there is " one cold, blue, lean kiss, that always makes him shiver to see.

Aldrich, who was snspended by the military authorities from the exercise of hin judicial functions, is about to take up his residence and practice law at Augusta. The State can ill afford to lose so conscien? tious and able a man as Judge Aldrich, and it is to be hoped that his absence will not be permanent.?Charleston News. -o ?
