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
