AN TOSOLVKD MYSTERY.
A 8U>r> Toll by n Moulent Gentleman.
There ?ere fix of us seated befoio a
blazing ?re which cast a generous glare
into the otherwise unlighted room. Out
side a. winter storm bellowed over the
chimneys, and heat seriously at the win*
dow panes. Afar off we could hear the
gust roaring among the naked bills, now
plunging shrilly through tbs skeleton
branches of the trees, and again whirling
over head with ft weird shouting sound
that might well have proceeded from the
throats of evil things riding upon the
wind. The ghostly spirit of the storm
seemed to have penetrated even into our
comfortable circle, for we bad got, I know
not how, upon that most dismal of all
subjects, Death.
We bad canvassed tho theme pretty
thoroughly before we discovered that two
of cur number, the Professor and the
Doctor, bad taken no part in the conver
sation. They were sitting a little re
moved from the rest of us, gazing gloom
ily into the fire. Their ordinarily cheer
ful expression of countenance had given
place to a sober, troubled look, and more
than once we had detected the exchange
of a strangely BiguiCcaot glance between
them.
As may be readily supposed, wo were
not slow to press them foran explanation
of ?heir conduct. But for a considerable
time our efforts were fruitless. At length,
after much persuasion, it was the Profes
sor who spoke : ?
"Gentlemen," said ho gravely, "no man
cares to gain for himself the reputation
of c liar or a maniac. Yet tbat IB exact
ly what you are preaslug us b * to do.
I have no doubt that the experience
which I am about to ro?ate, and in which
my friend, the Doctor, boro no unimpor
tant part, will appear absolutely incredi
ble to pensons ot your advanced views."
There was a touch of sarcasm in the
worthy Professor's tone, but in our eager
ness to hear bis story wo found it con
venient to disregard this.
"Moreoter," ne continued, "I shall
risk it. If you chooee to disbelieve, it,
why I ohall endeavor to have charity for
your ignorance and conceit. Now, Doc
tor, if you will hand mo the tobacco, and
one of those pipes-the ranker and
blacker thebetter-I will proceed."
Hiding filled his pipo and settled him
self comfortably, in a chair, he began
.thus :
"It must be fully ton years ago tbat
ibo Doctor and myself were engaged
spoil a geological survey of the northern
part of this otate. We had labored dil
igently during the nu m mer and fall, when
to\ vas tho closo of a cold November
day, we shouldered our knapsacks and
turned our faces homeward.
"Our way led through a chain of black
and rugged bills toward a frontier tow j.
twenty miles distant, where we intended
to take the railroad. A more forbidding
region it has never been my fortune to
see. It was a perfect chaos, blackened
and warped by primeval fireo and desti
tute of the smallest trace of vegetation.
Tall cliffs towered a thousand feet above
our heads, shutting out tho light of the
dull No?eniue?r sky. Sluggish streams
filtered between the crevices of the rooks,
and poured noiselessly into deep and
motionless tarns. It seemed that tho
blight of death had fallon upon the
whole country.
"Well knowing the peril of attempting
to proceed through such a region after
nightfall, we halted at sunset, and build
ing a fire at the foot of a crag, disposed
ourselves to rest as well as we might.
Exhauated with the toils of the day, the
Doctor was soon asleep, and I was not
long in following his example.
"How '-"sng 1 had slumbered I knew
not, when I mund myself bitting upright,
peering nervously into the darkness
around me. It ueerned to me that some
one had uttered a wild appealing cry in
the very portals of my ears. For some
moments I sat so, wondering and anx
ious. Tbes I refleoted that as there could
h? ne hutas;; bslng in *h?* neighborhood
besides ourselves, tho <t<)Utid which had
alarmed me must have been the shriek
of some night bird or animal. Explain
ing tb? matter thus, I was on.tho point
of laying down aga'..,, when I was arres
ted by a repcti'.ion of the cry. This
. time there could be no mistake. Wild?
. long-drawn, and, it appeared to roe, foll
of in tolerable anguish. lt re-echoed ?.mo?: ?r,
the crags with fearful shrillness. With
au uncontrollable start I turnod and
shook tho Doctor to awake him.
" 'Bo quiet,' ho muttered, 'I am awake
and have heard ic ali.'
*. 'What can it be V I naked anxiously.
'Surely, nothing human ; no one lives ai
this region for" miles around. Perhaps
it is a wild cat.'
" 'No,' ho said between his teeth, 'Such
a sound never came from tho throat of a
.. wild cat. There it is again. Listent'
"Tho cry was repeated. It .-waa a wo
man's voice, but it expresaed such su
preme misery os I believe woman never
felt before. \ It came ringing up the gorge
with a weird and mournful intonation
tbat chilled the blood in my heart.' By
the Doctor's quick breathing I could tefl
th nt he was os strongly affected as myself.
Neither of us spoke or moved; both
Waited for a renewal of tho cry in the
hope of arriving at some rational expia
tion of lt.
"Again it came ; but now like a luv?
tremulous sob. I am not a superstitious
. man, gentlemen, but. I confess 'that I sat
there shivering with A species of horror
that was utterly new to mc. What could
it bo? Noe a living woman, surely, alone
and suffering in en inaccessible fastness,
where wo wera morally certain nothing
human dwelt 1 And then what misery
was it that gave itself snob uncanny ox
. pression ? Not fear, nor bodily pain, but
something terrible, something nameless
& us. WhUo we wero dobating these
jecationa in smothered tones, the cry
came once again. This time in words
that TTS uridc**""<L
" ?HolnT?hT God i help I'
"At thia intelligible appeal to our
manhood, oar superstitious weakness in
stantly ?ivsppenrcd. seizing a torch
from our smouldering fire, wo made our
way hastily toward a pile of rocks a fsw
. hundred jurds distant wheoco the sound
seemed tc .have proceeded. Scrambling
tip tho heig?t we came suddenly upon a
strange and mournful scene. Before us
.:- stood a small wretched-looking hut, evi
dently constructed by. hands unused to
such, unglazed and without a chimney.
There was & dim light within, and through
: th? door wo saw tho body of ft man. an
pftrently lifeless. lying "prone upon tho
earthen floor. Beside him, with arms
flying wildly over her hoad, knelt the
figure o?' a woman, evidently the one
- - whose-cries had alarmed us. It needed
buta single glance to assurons that some
strange tragedy had taken place, and
without a moment's hesitation we en
tered tho hut.
''Tbs woman raised her eyes as we ap
proached, ont gara no further heed io ire.
Apparently ber great sorrow had driven
her distracted. She was a young crea
ture, hardly twenty, ? should judge, sad
despite the signs of hardship and sorrqw
visible on her features, very beautiful.
J tor form was alight and even attenuated,
but ,In ita shabby dress preserved traces
of form?r refinement,
"Her companion, a young man of about
borage, attired in a coarse woodman's
suit, bad evidently succumbed to bard
?hip or disraso and rm* cither Inocnsiblo

it must be confessed tbat you have faults
that more than counterbalance your one
good trait I Well, gentlemen, be bent
over tho poor creature, and in a voice as
gentle as a woman's, endeavored to arouse
the girl from ber lethargy.
"'Who aro you,' said be, 'and what
has happened?'
" 'He is dead-dead !' she muttered
hoarsely.
" 'Perhaps it is not so bad as that,' he
rejoined, 'tell us all rubout it. We ore
friends, my dear, and medical men, and
may be able to assist you.'
"'Ho died this morning, before ray
very eyes,' she moaned 'died, oh, ray
God I of starvation. And I never knew
that he was depriving himself for my
sake. Obi my husband, why did you
not let mo die with you 1' And she threw
berrel f across the body, sobbing as if her
poor heart would break. There were
tears in the Doctor's eyes as ho looked at
me." added the Professor, rfith a tremor
iu his voice, "and tho r??cal has always
sworn that my own were 'ot dry. That,
however, is asido from thc subject.
"Though wo knew nrthing of these
children-fd'they wcio Out little mort
-wo felt that we had chanced upon e
strange, ead story of love, pride and suf
fering, such as is rarely told, oven in thu
unhappy world.
"Tho Doctor Btooped dorn and felt a

'"He is dead' ho whisper*. J, motioninf

tho corpse.
"How wo made tho truth known to lin

; careful examination of the man.
i "Without vanity I can say that bot
tht Doctor and myself have receive
som-? few testimoni?is os to our sciontifi
ability from the world. You will probi
bly believe, then, that we aro capable <
deciding upon a very simple case of deat
by starvation. He paused and lookc
gravely around. Very good ; remembc
then that I assert upon my profession)
reputation that the man was stone dead
"Yes," added tho Doctor, who hi
hitherto remained silent, "tho lifo mu
have been extinct moro than five bou
when we found bira."
"Well," continued tho Professor, wil
increasing gravity, "having satisfied ou
selves upon this point, wo covered tl
corpse decently and Rat down to wait f
morning. Though in no mood for co
venation, the startling experience of tl
evening kept us both awako for Bevor
hours. But at longth, completely ov<
coma with weariness and excitement
fell into a light slumber.
"Almost immediately, itseemcd, I w
slekened *?ith sl?onk. The Doc!
was bending over me with an expresni
of wonder and alarm upon his pule fn<
j " ?Wake up,' h:j said, in a troubi
I whisper, 'something very strange L

" 'What is it?' I ?kcd, 'I thought tl
I heard some ono speaking.'
" 'You did,' ho replied; 'I hnvo <1
tinctly heard a voice beside us, yet th
is no one in tho room excopt ourael
and these two poor people'
" 'Perhaps tho woman has been talki
in her sleep,' I suggested, 'or ic may
the man is net dead, after all.'
" 'No, I havo looked at both,' he
?......-i lip?_-i_ -.it.. -i

"I aroso, and trimming tho lamp, p
cceded first to the couch whore tho |
lay. She, at least, could not have apok
for all her senses were locked in a r.
found stupor. I then examined tho cor
and found it aa we had left it, except t
tho features woro more shrunken i
sallow than bofore. No voico could h.
como from those rigid lips. Conclud
that we had both dreamed or fTad n
taken some nocturnal cry for a bun
voice, I replaced the light and was ah
ti resumr mv ?oat, when my movemi
i wore ut:.?ted by a very singular HOU
I " 'There it is again 1' muttered
Dictor agitatedly.
"A low, confused murmur, resembl
nothing that I had ever heard bef
aroso in the room and scorned to circu
in tho air for an instant and then
away. Again it arose, coming fror
point over our heads and gradually
scendiug until it- appeared to enmr
from somo invisible sourco immcdin
besido us. This time the murmuc
not dio away, but grow more dist
until we wera able to detect' intollig
words, though spoken as if boueat
heavy muffling. I know of nothing \
which to comparo tho intonation, exi
it may bo to tho articulation of a t
phone, or that of a ventriloquist.
"Tho first words wo caught were :
I '.' 'Oh, my poor wifo I'
"It would bo impossible to dcacribe
effect that thesa words produced u
us. It was not so much the tone, w
and uncanny as lt was, as the start
significance i-f tho words that amnrei
Who could have spoken them but
husband of the woman lying stup<
' upon tho couch? Yet ho had been <
for many hours. Full of repugnanc
the horror of the idea, we started un
again examined, not only every nook
cranny of the nut itself, but even
space outside for many yards aro
There was no human being beside
selves in tho vicinity.
"We again scrutinized the corpse,
had neither chnuged in position o;
psaranee. The flesh bad grown nerf?
cold aud the muscles rigid; there
not a trace of vitality about it. N
continued the Professor, wiping his
head uervo?a?j, "I bu vu amwil ni wi
imagine will be the limit of your ci
lily. I do not expect you to credit
followed ; but I swear to you on tho
of an honest man, that I do not de
from the truth by so much as a syt
when I say that while we boot abov
body, we again heard the voice pro
lng from a distant part of tho room,
lng audibly :
" 'In the name of God, assist me
to life 1'
"With hearts beating thick nod
we stood gazing at each other absol
thunderstruck. An oxporience so i
fying, so utterly without precedent
pletely unnerved us. Wbiloworem;
stupefied with horror, tho voice was <
audible :
"'Oh, have pity 1' it said; 'aid i
return to life.'
"It was some moments before oitli
?s Ctiuiu TvCO'vSi iiwiu our axnazc
sufficiently to make any reply.
'* 'Who is it that speaks to us?' i
the Doctor, in a low tono.
" 'The soul of the man who lies
before you 1' it replied.
" 'It is impossible that the dose
spesk,' answered the Doctor.
" 'No, for tho Intelligence never
returned tho voice. *My body is ii
dead, but that with which I live
thought and loved 1B still in thb t
**'What ls it :hat yon desiref i
the Doctor, carrying on this strang
toquy with, increasing wonder.
" 'To ber aided to resume tay f<
existence/-'was tho rejoinder., T
not leave ?ny- poor wiro unprotecl
this wilderness. 1 cannot *co ber *
[ lora her buvotxd atl hopes of a 1
life, and by the power of my love I
remained neat h?r, cud have beer
not, I will not, be separated from ber.
I must return to her in my human
shape.'
"Whether the Doctor*? courage deser
ted him at thia point or not I cannot nay,
but bo spoke no mot : ; and as the voico
was no longer audible, we remained silent
in a stale of mind that barnes description.
"I am morally certain thal both of us
would have fled iiiKtantly from the pince
hud it uot been for the poor crcnture
3lecping upon the bed. We could net
leave her to face a mystery that shook
even nerves as toughened as ours. After
a hasty coiiHultntion as lo what course we
ought to follow, we resumed our former
seats, and wuitcd in breathless expecta
tion for what wts next to occur.
"Homo houn had passed in this way,
and thc first dim traces of dawn were
shining upon tho eastern horizon, when,
with a simultaneous start, we both sprang
to our feet. The voice had again spoken.
This timn it had proceeded, not from
soma indefinito point tu thc atmosphere,
but from beneath tho sheet enveloping
tho corpse.
" 'Help!' it cried, in faint but distinct
accents; 'for Christ's ?nke, help!'
"For un instant we hesitated -and who
would not?-then hastened to the body
and removed thc covering. There was
no ulteratiou in it , pallor and rigidity,
but we nerceived that the lips, from
which a mint mu. ...:r was issuing, trem
bled slightly. Herc ou?' instincts con
quered our weakness.
"Whatever the mystery involved in
tho matter, a human being was strug
gling to regain existence, and our impulse
was to aid without question. A powerful
restorative was administered, and before
many moments lind passed we saw thu
color coining back to the wan cheeks and
the sunken muscles reshaping themselves
with the current of warm blood. Then,
with a faint sigh the eyes opened and
gawd at us inquiringly. In a word, gen
tlemen, the dead was restored to life.
"It is needless to detail wba' followed.
In the meeting which occurred between
these two poor young creatures, wc fell
ourselves more than repaid for the ?turt
ling experience of the previous night.
It can do no harm to add that wo claimed
nnd exercised the right of securing their
future prosperity out of out ample means.
Wo learned no moro of their former his
tory than that tho persecution of those
opposing their marriage had driven them
to ludo their poverty nnd misfortunes in
tho wilderiie-a. Wo have never heard
of them since.
"Tho young man, a? we discovered on
questioning him, remembered nothing of
his sensation while unconscious, excepta
vague, drenm-like, and yet intenso sor
I row for his young wife. Ho lind no
; knowledge whatever of the voico which
had nddrcssed us, and nppenrcd to believe
that bo had labored undor a tomporury
suspension of animation arising from
starvation. We did not combat his be
lief, but wo believe that he was actually
dead, and that he only returned to life
through his great love. Who will deny
that love is stronger thnn death, and that
it goes with us even boyond thc gravo?"
Ko Encouragement.
A brisk fight between two boys at tho
foot of Griswold Btrect yesterday wns In

ing one of them, made tho other sit
down on a ?alt barrel and bo tniked to.
"Now, thou," ho began, "it is a terri

"I'd a licked him if you bndn't como

"Suppose you had. Do you want to

you had rolled off tho wharf and been

"SpoBO I hadn't ton ! It is tho good
boys who get drowned ?"'
''What!"
"lt's so, and 1 kin prove it 1 I'll bet a
dollar agin a cent that more Sunday
school boys have been drowned this year
than bad 'uns I"
The man reflected and did not dispute
the assertion.
"And moro run over by tho cars,"
continued the boy.
No answer again.
"And moro of 'em got sick nnd died,
and I'll bot I've got moro money and
have more fun and peanuts than any

"But the good aro rewarded," quietly
observed tho man.
"So are tho bad," replied tho boy.

"But the good are respected."
"So om I. I kin go up to tho post

"My boy," sndly observed tho man,
"you must think of tho future. Don't
you want to bo looked up to nod bo re

"That's too fur ahead," was tho lone
some reply. "If anybody thinks I'm

And ho "duseu't."
SINGULAR FASCINATION.-An Eng
lish paper relates the following unac
countable occurrence : Ono of tho moat
singlar instances in connection with ma
terial things, exists in tho case of a young
mnn, who, not very long ago, visited a
large iron manufactory, lie stood oppo
site n largo hammer, and watched with
great interest lt? perfectly regular stroker.
At first it was beating immenso lumps of
crimson metal into thick black sheets;
cut the supply becoming exhausted, at
length it only descended on the polished
anvil. Still tho young man gazed intent
ly on its motion, then ho followed its
strokes with a corresponding motion of
his hoad ; then his loft arm moved on the
same tuno ; and Anally he deliberately
placed hi? 0.ut ?non tho anvil, nnd in a
second it was smitten to a jelly.
The only explanation ho could afford
was that he felt an impulse todo it; that
ho knew bo should bo disabled ; that be
saw all the cousequences in a misty man
ner, but ?.hat ho still felt tho power with
in abovo sense and reason-a morbid im
pulso, in fact, to which he succumbed
and by which ho lost a good right hand.
MAKING A COAT KT A DAY.-Some
years ago a gentleman made a bet of one
thousand guineas, that he would have a
coat mado in tho course of a single day,
from the first procesa of *ho?ring thi
sheep, to its completion by the tailor.
The wager was decided at Newbury, on
the 20th of June, 1811, by Mr. John
Coxotcr, of Greenham Mills, near that
town. At fivo o'clsok.that-eaoBBiagi-Sir
John Throckmorton, Bart., presented
two. Southdown wether sheep to Mr.
Coxeter. Accordingly tho ?sheep were
shorn, tho wool spun, the yarn spooled,
warped, loomed ana wove; tho cloth
berrtd, milled, rowed, dyed dr!ed;
sheared and pressed, and put into tho
hands of the tailors by four o'clock that
afternoon ; and at twenty minutes past
six the- coat, entirely finished, was pre
sented hy Mr. Coxeter to Sir John
Throckmorton, who appeared with it be?
foro an assemblage of upward of 5,000
spectators, who rent the air with accla
mations.

I despise a stingy man. I don't see
how it 10 possible tor a man to die worth
fifty millions of dollars, or ten million of <
dollars in a city full of want, when he
meets almost every day tho withered
hand of beggary and the white lips of
famine. How a man can withstand all
that, aud hold in tho clutch of In? hand
twenty or thirty millions of dollars is
past my compichcusion. I do not see
how ho can do it. I should not think he
could do it any more than be could keep
a pile of lumber when hundreds and
thousnuds were drowning in the seu. Do
you know I have known men who would
trust their wives with their hearts and
their honor but not with their pocket
books-not with a dollar. When I Bee
a mun of that kind I always think he
knows which is the most valuable.
Think of making your wife a beggar!
Think of her having to ask you every
day for a dollar or for two dollara, or to
humbly beg for idly cent? 1 'What did
you do with that dollar I pave you last
week?' Think of having a wife that i1

do you expect to havo with a beggar,

I had rather bo a beggar and spend my last
dollar like a king, than to be a king and
spend my mpney like a beggar. If it's

- One day a gentleman in India went
into his library und took down a book
from the shelves. As ho did so he fella
slight pain in his finger, like the prick of
a pin. lie thought that a pin had been
stuck by some careless person in the cov
er cf tho book. But soon his finger be
gan to swell, then his ann, and then bis
whole body, aud in a few day? ho died.
It was not a pin among books but, a
small and deadly serpent. There aro
many serpents among the books now-a
days. They nestle in tho foliage of some
of our most fasinating literature ; they
coil around tho flowers whose perfume
intoxicates tho senses. We read, weare
charmed with tho plot of tho story, by
tho skill with which tho characters are
sculptured or grouped, by the gorgeous
ness of the word printing-wo hardly
feel the pin prick of the evil that is in
tdnuated. But it stings and poisons.
When the record of human souls is made
up, on what multitudes will bo iuscribed,
"Poisoned by the serpenta among the
books 1"

him to inquire the cause. At first be
could get no response, nnd the man.
with his hair in his hands, still continued
to paco the floor. Al last, induced by
tho kindly tono of bis visitor, be stated
tlie cause of his great anguish. "I owe
my friend Brown $500, which I om ut
terly unable to pay." "My friend,"
said tho gentleman, "I can give you ad
vice vhich will relievo your distress."
"What is it ?" anxiously inquired tho
distressed individual. "You have
walked far euough," replied the gentle
man ; "my advice to you is to go to bed,
and let Brown walk awhile."

will bo the largest in the world. It will
everago about ninety feet in diameter,
and hold between 800,000 and 400,000
feet of gas. The matarla] employed will
bo Pongee silk, coated with a substance
known to the Professor only. Tho silk
will bo doubled throughout. Pure hy
drogen gus will bo used and the cost of

The Stepping Stone to Health.
The acquisition of vital energy is the step
ping st".no to health. When the system
??cka vitality, tbs various organs ii::.: in
their duty, become chronically irregular,
and discoso is eventually instituted. To
Srevent this unhappy state of things, the
cbilitatcd system ?ihould be built up hy
tho uso of that inimitable tonic, Hosteler's
Stomach Bitters, which invigorates the di
gestive organs, and insures thc thorough
con version of food into blood of a nourish
ing quality, from whence every muscle,
nerve and finer acquire unwonted supplies
of vigor, and the whole system experiences
th? beneficial effect. Appetite returns, the
system is refreshed by healthful slumber,
tho nerves grow strong and calm, tho de
spondency oegotten of chronic indigestion
and an uncertain stat.; of health disappears,
and that sallow appearance of the skin pe
culiar to habitual invalids, and persons de
ficient in vital energy, is replaced by a more
becoming tinge.
