The Beggar Woman of Looenrno. At the foot of tho Alps, near Locarno, stood au old castle belonging to. the Mar quis of Como, the ruins of which are still visible to the traveller, as he passes over the st. Uothard-a castlo with lofty anti roomly apartmtents, high towers and narrs w wilows. In one of these rooms an old sick woman was deposited upon some straw, which had been shaken down for her by the house keeper of the Marquis, who tound her beg ging before the gate. ''he Marquis, who was accustomed to go into this room on his return fron hunting, to lay aside his gun, ordered the poor wretch to get up immediately out of itr corner and be gone. The creature arose, but slipping with her crutch upon the smooth floor, she fell, and injured her back so much, that it was with great dilliculty she got up; and mov ing across the room as she had been tesired, gionning and crying sadly, saink dowin be hind the chinmey. After a while she arose again, dragged herself painfully out of the castle and died In the adjacent village. Several years afterwards, when the cir cumstances of the Alarquis had been niuct reduced by war and failure of his crops, a Florentine gentleman visited the castle, with the intention of purchasing it, in con sequence of the beauty of the situatioi. The Marquis, who was very anxious to have the bargain contcluded, gave his wife i directions to lodge lie stranger in the san' room in which the old woman had rested, f it having, in the meantline been very liand- I somely titled up ; but, to their consterna- A tion, in the mlidte of lie night, the st ran ger entered their own room, pale and agi tated, protesting loudly that the chuber I was haunted by sonme invisible being--for that he heard something rise in the corner, I as if it had been lying among the straw, move over the chatmer with slow and tot tering steps, and sink down, groaning lail crying, near the chimuney. The Marquis, alarlned, though he scarce ly knew why, endeavored to put ia fair face on the matter, and to laugh off the fears of his visitor, telling hili he would rise him self, and spend t he rest of I he night wit i him in his room ; but the stranger begged tiat lie would rather allow him to occupy a couch in the adjoining roomn ; andt as soon as morning broke, he took his leave, and departed. l 'I'l.i occurrence, which occasioned much notice, made so unpleasant an inipression r uponl Intending puirchasers, that not anotlh- t er Inquiry was made, and at last, even the ri servants in the house becomting possessed with the notion that there was something , dreadful in tl atfair, the larsluis with the t view of setting the report to rest, deter- n mined to Investigate the muatter himtself I next night. Accordingly, in the twilight, he atuised his hed to be bronght into the aairtmnent, and waited, without sleeping, the aiplrollachl of midnight. But what was his const ernat ion when. on the stroke of midnight, he actually a heard some remarkal' noise in the apart ment, its if stme person had risen from among Straw, which rustled b eneathl him, walked slowly across the floor, and saink, sighing and groaning behimd the chiney f l When he caine down the next morning, a the Maarchioness asked hin how the investi- u galt ion had gone on ; and lie, after gazing a about hihn witi wondering glances, and i holting the door, told her that the story of c the clnhmbers being haunted were true. t Sie was territied out of her senses; but t begged him, before making any public dis- 1 closures, once more to niiuike thi experi- c ttent in her company. Accompanied by a trusty servant, they 8 accorlinigly repeated their visit next night; and agai hear'd, as the Matrttuis had doine I b afore, the saime ghostly3 and inconceivable noise ; and ntching butt thle anxious wish to get ril of the castlet, coust what it would, enabled thenm to suippress t heir terior's in , the ptresenlce of the servant, andI to aseribie lie niore to some accidentali c'ause,' On the. evening or the third day, wh'en I hioth, deCterinedit( to pr1obe( theit imitter' to I the biottom, were ascending wi'tti heating hearts the stairs leading to the stranger's apartment, it chianceid thait the house dog,1 which had been let loose from the chain,1 was lying directly before the tdoor of the room iandI, willing, pe'rhaps to have thleI canmay of aniy other livlimg thing ini thle mysterious atpar'tmet, they took thle dpg lito the room along withI them. Th'le husbanid and wife seatetd themselves on the couch--the Marquis withi lis sword andmt pisto0s beside himi; anti while they endeavored, the best. way they couldl, to kill tine with conversation, the dog, cow eriing down at their feet, fell asleep. Again, w' iih the stro(ke of midtnighit, the noIse was ireinewed ; somtethiing, though whabit thoey could nt. discover, raisedi itself, as if on two crutches, In the corner ; the straw rustled as before. At the soumnd of thtu tiirst foot fall, the dog awoke, rousedi itself pricked up) its earis anti growling anti biarkhig as if somte person was advancing towvards him, iretreated it the direction of the chimney. At thIs sight, thle Muar'h loness rushedt otit o[ the room, heri hali' stianding oni end ; and while the Marquis seIzed his sword, ex chaimed "'Who is there ?" antd receiving no *answer, thrutst like a miadman In all threc tions, she hastily packed up a few ar'ticles of dIress, andh made the best ot her waty to *wards thle towvn. 8carcehy, however, had she p)roceedled a few steps, whien she discovered that the castle was on fire. T1he Marquis had it his tdistract iont, over turned the tapers, antI the room wams in stantly in flames. Every effort was miade to satve thle uin happy nobleman, but ini vaini; hie perished In the utmost tortuires; and his b)ones, as the traveler may be awiare, still lie wvhei'e they were collected by the neighboring peasants-iin a corner of the atpartmeint front which lhe hadh expelled the beggatr womuan of Lacarnio. th uriausdebt ha bee (Pillce. xatl thear mone.
