V Sometimes at night when on my bod, WrappedrounaTwithBleop, I seem to bear In dreams the slow and measured tread Of soldiers drawing near. l All round the night ia bung with glo*m; The murky air is chill and damn; And grim and dark the shadows loom About the sleeping camp. Nearer and nearer o'er th* ground Close, even step the soldiers keep; Hoard with a hollow, falling sound Distinctly in my sleep. They reach the tent wherein I seem Once more, as oft of old, to lie; And in the net-work of my dream With steady tramp go by. At last they near the sentry's beat; I bear his ordor sharply sound: *' Halt 1" and no more the marching feet Be-echo o'er the ground. I hear, or neem at least to hear, His challenge, uttered stern and brief; The answer, spoken low and clear; And know 'tis the relief. And waking find it but a dream, Born ot tho cloud of battle past, .Whose fringes brightened with the gleam Of peace that dawned at last. On hearts, borne down by grief and care, Yearning and praying for the light, Watchful as anxious sentries, where You stand hung round with night; ' Who let no doubtful step come near1 Without the challenge, stern and brief; Who listen, but who never bear The tread of the relief Sooner or later it will fall, Through the thick darkness drawing nigh, And to your;earne8t challenge call Shall angel Ups reply. {Harper's We?khj. THE HAUNTED HOUSE. On the wide, sandy plain that stretches its weary monotony be? tween the crowded manufacturing villages of Chicopee River and the qniet villages of Granby and South Hadley, stands a lonely house, ten rods from a lonely road. It is of two stories and an L, thongh the singlo room in this last is the only room that is inhabitable. The two-story part, now a ruin, has never been more than a mero shell. A quarter of a Century ago, Shubael Jones put it up,.planted a little orchard around it, and brought to it a black-eyed, high-tempered wife. But ho was at that time an incipient drunkard, and soon every appearance of comfort and domestic happiness fled the place. And ono dismal November night, the wretched wife summoned her neighbors from their beds to where the poor sot lay dead at the foot of the cellar stairs. No inquest was held; ?one doubted that he was killed by a fall in a drunken fit, in attempting another visit to his cider barrel. The widow rented the place to a : tenant who neither kept it well nor . paid its rent. Sho went with her little boy, who was not quite an idiot, to work in a paper mill at the village then called "Shipmuck." Forj long years she changed from factory to factory, as best she could "keep her son employed. He was | always harmless and still. He was always obedient when nuder his mother's eye and working at her side. They earned moro than they spent, but tho prudent people of Ludlow, where they last lived, feared to allow them to "gain a settlement," and thus render their town liable for | their future support. So they ob? tained the consent of the agent that the widow and her son need not keep strict time, and offered to furnish a | room in her old desolated house, three miles from the factory, if they would live there. The proud wo man understood the motive, and with a flash of her dark eyes, declined their kindness. But she soon bought a little furniture of a family that was moving away, and re-established her? self in the gloomy old wreck. It was now late in the fall, when the widow Jones first noticed that tho grass was disappearing from the : road-side by the bars opposite her ?-door. It soon grew obviously wors?; nml though a bald spot on a man's iead is no great wonder, this bare spot, with no hoof-marks on it, baffled all her ingenuity. The fence, "too, seemed worn, as if by loungers Jeaning upon it. "What could it mean? No human gathering could have been held in that lonely place since tho day when the mouldering frame was raised, except on that .sad day when tho mouldering frame .of the owner wont to its long nome. The explanation of that mystery involves us in a deeper one. One night in September, a man from Ludlow was passing tho house just after the factory bell had announced the hour of 9. As he neared the house, he heard a groan. It was a single groan, and then all was still. But it was tuon a groan as nb one utters twice, and he who hears it never wishes to hear it again. He felt it his duty to rush iuto the house, but dared not. After long hesitation, he went his way, speculat? ing whether tho widow had murder? ed her idiot son or had been murder? ed by him; and when he saw them both come quietly into the village tho next morning, ho doubted first his eyes and next his memory. But the same errand again brought him past that lonoly house a few nights later. Again he heard the 0 o'clock bell as he approached the house, and again, as he waa opposite the house, that dreadful groan. The next night, he walked out with a neighbor, so timing his steps that when near the house both heard the ?.., ? I I'-LJ." ?. 1 , . , JS mortal nound. Both were certain that it cnmej'ronObe noose. ... Three -went out, slid five, and fif? teen, and. thirty. All heard tho groan, and all agreed that it Avas exact to its time to a quarter of a mi? nute. Old Captain Hardcaatle said that if ho were shut up in, a hole dark as midnight:, he could teil with? in ten minutes when the time for his "eleven o'clock" came, but ho couldn't keep time with a ghost. One guessed the spirits heard the bell. The agent stopped the bell pde night, but the groan was heard as usual. And it was not asimilar groan, but the same groan repeated every night. No ear could tell any difference not made by tho same dircotion and forco of the wind. Some wondered whether it had been repeated every night since poor Jones "broke his neck.*' Others ? said that if they were the widow, I rather than live a month in that house, they would confess tho mur? der and be hanged. One night, the lawyer and doctor of Lndlow, both young men, went out quite early. They went into the house and "wanted to wait till the moon rose." Tho widow gave them scant welcome; she had not forgot? ten Ludlow prudence, and she always conjectured that her present guests had had their share in that affair. Without a candle she sat there, stretching her skinny hands to the blaze, for the night was chill. The gawky boy, who would be near? ly seven feet long if straightened out, and who seemed to have ac? quired his longitude at the expense of his latitude, as if put through a rolling mill, sat there in kinks and silence. They heard tho factory bell, they heard a cricket, they heard a lusty rat, but they heard no groan. At half-past 9, they went out to a large shivering, impatient crowd, that had missed their groan and felt misused. In an instant more, thc groan was heard in all its perfection. Our friends hurried back to the house, to inquire whether the lawyer had dropped a glove. The widow was making up a trundle bed that had been lurking unsus? pected by them beneath the large one, in the darkest corner of the room. They admired this contriv? ance for economizing space? Could the widow move it easily ? She ran it in and drew it out again. By this time the lawyer had found his glove in his pocket, aud again they wished the widow good-night. Meanwhile the outsiders had heard two extra groans. The first was somewhat different from the usual one, but tho Inst was exact. "I have found," enid the lawyer, "that Ludlow has expended at least 300 miles of travel on foot, and all in the night, and 100 hours loafing by these old bars, just to hear that womau draw out her trundle-bed for that Jacob's-ladder idiot." "And let mo recommend you," added the doctor, "when you find anything you cannot explain, not to jump at tho couclusiou that it is supernatural. It is more thau pro? bable-it is certain-that if you knew enough, you could find a physical cause for every physical effect" And so they all went home and went to bed. And the next spring the grass grew again around the widow's bars. DEMOCRATIC NOMINATIONS. MUNICIPAL OFFICERS-CITY COLUMBIA. For Mayor. Con. J. P. THOMAS. . For Aldermen.-WARD No. 1. T. W. RADCLIFFE.

These cannot be cured without purifying tho blood. Now as to the romedy. There is no other blood purifier that will accom? plish such positive and extraordinary cures as HeinitsVs Queen's Delight.
