Fashion on th? Brain. It seems to mo tho women now Dress op moat? awful queer. In narrow Bkirta and little hoop? How funny they' appear. Their h?if Uiwy ave. tu iauoy anapi-B, Tve laughed, and laughed agam. To seo how quear the women look With chignon on the brain. Last night I met a little misB Rigged bp in wondrous style, She had a little bonnot on Thst really made mo smile. 'Twas smaller than a cabbage leaf, Dried up for want of rain: How very q?eor the womon look . With bonnets on the brain. . They.aaytbey .wear their dresses short To show their pretty foot, But if their ahooa are No. 7's, Extremes will never meet; AL 1 when thfcy wear their dresses long, And dragging in a train. I always think of bean-polea, with Gored dresses on tho brain. Oh. well, this is a curious world, False teeth, false calvos, and oh, They speak of palpi tators; but Tho truth I do not know. But lot them wear whate'er they will, Remount rance is in vain. And they are really charming with The fashion on the brain. JI?STJBuT OF THE THATCHED HOUSE. It -was a clean, bright, wholesome, thoroughly lovable house. Tho first time I saw it, I fell in love with it, and Vf anted to live in it at onoe. It fascinated me. When I crossed its threshold, I felt as if I had opened a book whose perusal promised en? chantment. I felt a passionate long? ing to have been born here, to have been expected by the brown old watchful walls for years before it had been my turn to exist in the world. I felt despoiled of my rights; because there was here a hoard of wealth which I might not touch, placed just beyond the reaoh of my hand. I was tantalized; because tho secrets of a sweetly odorous past hung about the shady corners, and the sunny win? dow-frames and tho grotesque hearth places; and their breath was no more to me than the soent of dried roso leaves. It was ray fault that wo bought tho Thatched House. We wanted a coun? try home; and, hearing that this was for sale, wo drove many miles ono showery April morning to view tho place and judge if it might suit our need. Aunt Featherstone objected to it from the first, and often boasted of her own sagacity in doing so, after the Thatched House had proved it? self an incubus-a dreadful Old Mau of the Mountains, not to be shaken from our necks. I once was bold enough to tell her that temper, and not sagacity, was the cause of her dis liko that April morning. We drove in an open phroton, and Aunt Fea? therstone got some drops of rain on her new silk dress. Consequently she was ont of humor with every? thing, and vehemently pronounced her veto upon the purchase of the Thatched House. I was a spoiled girl, however, and I thought it hard that I might not have my own way in this matter as in everything else. As we drove along a lonely road, across a wild, open country, I had worshipped the broken, gold-edged rain-clouds, and the hills, with their soft, trailing sha? dows. I had caught the shower in my face, and laughed; and dried my limp curls with my pocket handker? chief. I was disposed to love every? thing I saw, and clapped my hands when we stopped before the sad look? ing old gates, with their mossy brick pillars, and their iron arms folded across, as if mournfully forbidding inquiry iuto some long hnshed-up and forgotten mystery. When wo swept along the silent avenue my heart leaped up in greeting to tho grand old trees, that rose towering freshly at every curve, spreading their masses of green foliage right and left, and flinging showers of dia? mond drops to the ground whenever the breeze lifted the tresses of a drowsy bough, or a bird poised its slender weight upon a twig; and then shot off sudden into the blue. Aunt Featherstone exclaimed against the house the very moment we came in sight pf it. lt was not the sort of thing wo wanted at all, she said. It had not got a modern porch, and it was all nooks and an? gles on the outside. The lower win? dows were too long and narrow, and upper ones too small, and pointing up above the eaves in that old fashioned inconvenient manner. To crown its absurdities, tho roof was I thatched. No, no, Aunt Feather? stone said, it was necessary for such old houses to exist for tho sake of pictures and romances; but as for people of common sense going to live in them, that was out of the question. I left her still outside with her eye? glass leveled at the chimneys, and darted into the house to explore. An old woman preceded mo with a jing? ling bunch of keys, unlocking all the doors, throwing open the shutters and letting the long levels of the sun? shine fall over the uncarpoted floors. It was all delicious, I thought; the long dining-room with its windows opening like doors upon the broad gravel, tho circular drawing-room with its stained-glass roofing, tho donble flights of winding stairs, the roomy passages, the numerous cham? bers of all shapes and sizes opening ' one out of another, and chasing each i other fruin omi io end of the house; and above all, the charming old rustic baloony, running round the waist o! tho building Uko a belt, and carrying ono, almost quick as a bird could fly, from one of those doar old pointed windows under the eaves down amongst the flower beds below. I said to mys.01? ia my own wilful way,- 4,This Thatched House must be my home!" and then I set about coaxing Aunt Featherstone into my way of thinking. It was not at all against her will that she completed tho purchase at last. Afterwards, j however, she liked to think it was so. in May it was all settled. Tho house was filled with painters and fmper-banrers, and ali through the ong summer months they kept on making a mess within the walls, and forbidding us to enter and enjoy tho place in the full glorious luxuriance of its summer beauty. At last, on driving there ono bright evening, I found to my joy that tho workmen had decamped, leaving the Thatched House clean and fresh and gay, ready for the reception of us, and oar goods and chattels. I sprang in through one of tho open dining-room win? dows, and began waltzing round the floor from sheer delight. Pausing at last for breath, I saw tho old woman who took care of tho place, she who had on my first visit opened tho shut? ters for me and jingled tho koys, had entered the room while I danced, and was standing watching me from the door-way with aqueer expression on her wrinkled face. "Ah, ha! Nelly," I cried trium? phantly, "what do you think of the old house now?" Nelly shook her gray head, and shot me a weird look ont of her small black eyes, then she folded her arms slowly, and gazed all roand the room musingly, while she said: "Ay, Miss Lucy ! wealth can doa deal, but there's things it can't do. All that the hands of man may do to make this place wholesome to live in has been done. Dance and sing now, pretty lady-now, while you have tho heart and courage. The day'll come when you'd as soon think of sleepin' all night on a tomb-stone as of standin' on this floor alone after sun? set. " "Good gracious, Nelly 1" I cried, "what do you mean? Ls it possible that there is anything-have you heard or seen-" "I have heard and seen plenty," was Nelly's curt reply. Just then, a van arriving with first instalment of our household goods, the old woman vanished; and not an? other word could I wring that evening from her puckered lips. Her words haunted me, and I went home with my mirth considerably sobered; and dreamed all night ol wandering up and down that long dining-room in the dark, and seeing dimly horrible faces grinning at mc from the walls. This was only thc first shadow of the trouble that came upon us in the Thatched House. It came by degrees in nods and whispers, and stories told in lowered tones by the fireside at night. The servants got possession of a rumor, and the rumor reached me. I shud dered in silence, and contrived foi the first few months to keep it a jen lous secret from my unsuspecting aunt. For tho house was ours, ant Aunt Featherstone was timorous; anc the rumor, very horrible, was this the Thatched House was haunted. Haunted, it was said, by a foot step, which, every night, at a certair hourj went clown the principal corri dor, distinctly audible as it passet the doors, descended tho stair-caso traversed the hall, and ceased sud denly at the dining-room door. I was a heavy, unshod foot, and walkec rather slowly. All tho servants coule describo it minutely, though noni could avow that they hail positively heard it. New editions of this stori were constantly coming out, anc found immediate circulation. T< each of these was added some fresl harrowing sequel, illustrative of tb manners and customs of a certaii shadowy inhabitant, who was sah to have occupied tho Thatehci House all through tho dark days o its emptiness and desolation, nm who resented fiercely the unwelcom advent of ns flesh-and-blood in truders. Tho tradition of this lone!; shade was as follows: Tho builde and first owner of tho Thatchei House was an elderly man, wealthy wicked and feared. He had marrie a gentle young wife, whoso heart ha been broken before she consented t give her hand. He was cross to bei using her harshly, and leaving he solitary in the lonely house for lon winter weeks and months togethci till she went mad with brooding ove her sorrows, and died a maniac Goaded with remorse, he had shut u the house and fled the country Since then, different people had fal cied the beautiful, romantic old dwcl ing, and made an attempt to livo i it; but they said that the sorrow fi lady would not yield up her right 1 any new-comer. It had been h< habit, when alive, to steal down staii at night, when she could not sloe for weeping, and to walk up and dow the dining-room, wringing her hand till the morning dawned; and nov though her collin was nailed, und In grave green, and though her teal ought to have been long since blow from her eyes like rain on the win? still the unhappy spirit would n< quit the scene of ber former wretel ?VI??B?, bul puced the passage, ai trod the stairs, as of old. At tl -?-?-:------?-?-! dining-room door tho step waa said to pause; aud up and, down the dreary oh amber a wailing ghost wes b\ lioved to flit, wringing her hands, tif{ tho morning dawned. It was not till the summer had de? parted that I learned this story. ^CONTINUED TN OUB NEXT.
