It over beautifully situated and no mistake, standing by itself, and overlooking a placid creek a furlong wicle, which wound its way in a grttcefktl curve het ween lofty cliffs; CQYQ.red with a wealth' of bloomiug heather and gorse for three quartets of a mile inland. Mr. Jones (alias X'Z), a pleasaut-looking old bicho- "lor of fifty, was there to receive us, :and did tho honors that night with great courtesy, leaving ou the fol - •lowing morning, after showing us round generally, and seeing that we were comfortably settled in our tem- porary abode, • Of the first week of our stay there is not much to record except the usual series- of- seaside enjoyment= the perfection ofbathing in water as clear as crystal -boating and fish- ing of every kind in. abundance, plenty of beautiful scenery to keep my wife's brush abundantly em- ployed (Laura is loud of sketching) plenty of bright shells ou the beach to be gathered diligently by the assiduous illtu'riaremmer for Johu juniors's delectation—in short, everything calculated to sat- isfy and 'delight people who can enjoy lite under conditious of Arcadiau and primitive simplicity. I will aotdwell ou these eveuts, but hasten on to the climax of my story. On the eighth day, I think it was, after our arrival, my wife, who had gone down to the village according,, to the established usage of Porth- penllwyd, to inquire for letters at the pestoifice, came rushing into the fw� house in a breathcess state of excite-. recut. "0 John, who do you think is in the village?" "Well, I should imagine, the Shah of Persia at least, or perhaps the Prime .Minister," I suggested. Don't be provoking. No; Ethel Austin is here. She came last night, and was being drivou to St. David's. She has an aunt living there. But the horse fell coming down the steep hill leading into the village, and she and the driver were pitched out. Fortunately, they were more frightened than. hurt; but the shafts were broken and they couldn't go on ; so she stayed at the inn all night." • "Dear me, whut a thrilling ad- venture V'• ' "Yes; and I've made her tele- graph to her aunt to say, she is not coming just yet; as she has found us ; aud silo is to stop with us• for a few days. She oar have the mid- dle room. Won't it be jolly to have dear Ethel hero!" • "Oh, very, my dear. She will be nice company for you. But who'd have thought of her turning, up in this unexpected kind of way !" This Miss . Austin had been my wife's bosom friend at a London bearding -school, and they had kept up the intimacy loyally ever since, She wasnow about eight -and -twen- ty, aud being of a warm-hearted sentimental nature, and lapsed, for want of a husband, into that gush- ing type .of tender womanhood which indulges in idealistic theories of life, and is fond of discoursing largely about ,"sympathies, and "affinities," and ",.ttt,tactions," and other subtle agencies of the same mysterious kind. She was also a firm believer in spiritualism. I often used to wonder how her in - ,tense and effusive nature, which poured 'itself forth . poriodicall sheets of deusely .written note paper, could receive enough nour- ishment from Laura's brief matter- of-fact epistles to keep alive the sacred flamo of affection between them in her heart. But such, it seemed, was the case ; and Laura was, I know,Gglad to see her. So about noon, her travelling trunk arrived at the cottage, followed shortly by its owner, who received a very hearty welcome from both of us, Laura declaring that she would have to stay a fortnight at the least. And in this way Mise Austin be- came a temporary Isle Mimi. Of 011r small and happy family. As I said, that lady. was a ,firm believer in spii'itualisln, of which• we soon found that she was a most aggressively zealousad- vocate vocate ; nor was she backward in proclaiming her views for our edi- fication both in season and out of season. It amused Ilio to argue with her and draw her out upon this subject, she used to get so eloquent and enthuiastic. Ono evoning—sho had been with us about a week, perhaps—we wore sitting, wo three, in the cozy little front sitting room of the cottage, looking out upon the sea in the twilight: It was a glorious night; its the harvest moon just rising above the Gribin hill opposite streamed in through the windows rVuti! li,t up parte ff th4 room With, l* 'dt:t>t reliqef011@ 11ghJr" lQavil;l? the roar: ilt '-B.Gi•ong ahado:►v; . 4'41i bad beou'pot to bed,, a44 ' 14fari:►rtjnt,mar wiw sitting sewing iii 1,4e nexP repro, Mise Aa8t 11 waif holding forth with her Customary enthuaiaslu on her pot topic, "You may sneer es lnuoh as you like," she was saying,'.' and mar- shal your waterialtistio arguments with alt your 411ity ; but you will never persuade me that the dwellers in the spirit -world do not still feel an interest iu tho scenes and asso- ciations with which they were once familiar. \Vhy, then, should they not be able, being uutraminelled by, any physcial restrictions, to roturu and hold converse with those who were and aro dear to them, and to make their presence known by certain external and material in dicetions 1" "Well, it rather puzzles rue --it may be my obtuseness, of course— butl can't quite slake out how a spirit can make a noise, for instauco, by rapping its shadowy knuckles ou a substantial wooden table; or what interest a staid and solemn ghost can take in playing frivolous pranks with fiddlestriugs and elate Pen- cils," "Scoff away now, you unbeliev- er," she retorted ; "perhaps even you will bo convinced sorno>day. "Pooh—never. You niay bo sure that"—My sentence was cut short by a crash of falling crockery, fol- lo}tred by a scream from the region of the pantry, and the next moment the door of the sitting room was un ceremoniously burst open by 11.[ar- iaretumer, who appeared witli a loulc of terror ou her white face and a caudle iu her trembling hand. "0 master, utnssus !" site gasped, "that I should ha' lived to seo this night." "What's the matter ?" wo chorus- ed. "There's evil sperrets in the pan• try, she said, in a horror-struck tone of voice. "!Rubbish !" I oxclsiuled, "Tho only spirits in the pantry I know of are good spirits—Ilolno. & Brindlo's best Scotch iu fact"—forciug a joke, "\fariareinmar," I proceeded stern- ly, "If you have been meddling with those spirits, and lot one of the bottles fall"— "No, no, ne," interrupted she eagerly ; "net them sporrets at all, but there other sperrets what Miss talks about, what raps and makes noises. So true as I'nl a -standing on this blessed spot; just now as I was a-earriying a plate into the pan- try, I heated soinothin' go rap, rap, rap, like that three times. It did give me such a term, and tho plate dropped from my hand, and went ell to'snissh on the floor. "If I'd a-kuowu as WO was a -corrin' to a house with ,uncanny things like that in it"—the sentence termin- ated in a suggestive pantonine, Mariaretn ner's feelings woro too strong for words. Miss Austin looked very much interested. and turned to me with an unmistakable expression of tri umph iu her face. Laura was plain- ly alarmed ; and I must confess to a momentary fooling of "creepiness" myself. Sitting in the dark and talking about ghosts is calculated to give an eerie feeling even to the most strong minded- of sceptics; and Mariareminer's interruption had certainly come with an appropriate- ness which was, tosay the least of it, startling. I tried, however, to let no trace of my weakness appear in, my voice as 1 banteringly remarked to Miss Austin : ''1 hope .you aro pleased with the e:'•'ects of your preaching. Here's ti! :ria Emma so affected :by your c'a < •rvations of spirit.rapping and alt things, that she can't go into the tntry with- out breaking plates to. .r tho influ- ence_ of the delusion t:: t she hears ghostly noises. "I•Iacln't wo bettor i1; e.stig;ite fol' ourselves," said Miss Austin in a tone of Mild coufidenco, "before wo pronounce it to bo a delusion ?" was evideut vis from her manner that she really believed this to bo a supernatural demonstration for my benefit to vindicate the truth of the manifestatious which I had been deriding. "By all means," I said, with an assumption of eagerness. "We'll •all go together." Mariarommer protested at first that nothing on earth should induce her to again visit that awful spot, but finally acquiesced, "if Missns would go first," which Laura hero- ically consented to do. So wo marched in procession to the pantry. I took the lead armed with the kitchen, poker (this was in defereuce to the combinedentreaties of my wifo.and the servant, though for my part, I could not see what advantage a poker could be iu the event of an encouuter with a ghost; but it seemed to give thein a feeliug of security) ; Miss Austin ernes next, with Laura and Mariaomnter bringing up the rear. When we got there, everything was quiet and in its normal condition. Nothing revealed' itself -to the eye or eaL to •indi;ate the presence of anything out of the common. Nothing could have looked more prosiac and of this ivorld—Itatr the empty beer.. bottles and the cold remains of the. shoulder of mutton we had had for FYI M'.ones . tli..u,uvl•. Deg.ido.tlly.thp Meat ghost - 'syr lookiOg abject In view; to niy thinking, was a loan fowl of si»aggy aspeot vvhill hung doJea.tod'ly from a pothook in the ceiling, and cer- tainly presented a very ,unsubatan- tial appearance, viewed in counoc- tion with tho thought of its pre• sensation at table in tno near future to satisfy the needs of four hungry people. ''Well," I laughed' •'I hope your minds aro at )rest now. There's nothing here, you see.—Silly girl !" —to Mariaromwer—"what a fright you've given yourself and us about nothing." "Indeed, sir, it was something," she protested. "Nonsense ! Mere fancy. If there are any spirits here," I wont ou boldly, "I call upon them now to signify their presence in the usual way—aud bo quick about it, too, or they won't have us fur an audience." Peep, rap, rap, rap; followed by a soft of scraping, creaking noise, was the imwoiliate response, as if in direct auswer to my audacious chal- lenge. My heart jumped to my throat. The women soroarnod ; ?tfariaretn- ruer fled precipitately ; Laura stood her ground, clinging desperately to Mis Austin, who turned to nee and said solemnly : "Ate you convinced now ?' "Not. yet. I trust 800 awl hear more. It may be only the Mice." I said feebly, and fully conscious that tho explanation sounded lame and inadoquato. "Mice don't make a noise like that," said she. "I ant Bore" she went on with conviction—"1 alts sure it is a messenger from the un- s@OU world. I wide 1 \vete a med- ium, oud knew how to address it." "So do I, if it would lead to a solution of this mystery." "Hark ! there it is again." And again we heard the saute noise as before, an irregular knock- ing, as of some metallic substance, which produced a resounding hollow kind of sound, varied at intervals by the saln0 rasping, scraping noise which we heard at first," "Oh, John, let's gu away from this horrid house at once !" inl1)10t4.-d my wife, \with a stumble in her voice. "Wo can't go to -night auywny- my dear, and this knocking i; harts, lass enough, in all conscience,".1 said, my courage beginning to re- turn. "Anel if hiss Austin cannot lay tho ghost sho has disturbed, I ale determined to take no rest until I have fathomed this mystery.." Tho knockiiig was heard more vigorously, than over. "Poor spirit !" signed Miss Austin sympathetically; "how eager it seems to unburden itself of the mes- sage with which it is charged. And alas ! there is no one whom) relieve its pangs and interpret those Mystic symbols. How I wish • my' friend, Miss Anson, were Here. She is a medium. I will write for her to comp to -morrow," "No -o -o, please," shivered Laura, "Perhaps the ghost won't stay if it finds it isn't understood here, and may go somewhere else. We don't want any medium—do we John?" "Certainly not. my dear. We won't have Miss Anson here. I don't mean to encourage ghosts to hang around "these premises:" IRe- newed interruption' -this time -only the scraping noise was heard. "I'll oat my hat," said I vehem- ently, after a pause, "if that noico doesn't p`rocoed from rats ; though how on earth a rat could make those other noises and rattle away like a telegraph operator ora pair of cast- anets, I must own gets over 111e for. the present:—"Yes, and it conies from that corner, too," I added after a moment, pointing to a stone bench, the space under _which' was occupied by some empty bottles and an old broken filter.—"Wait a minute. If it's rats'— And I turned 'with a sudden resolution towards the door. "Where are• you going ?" asked the others," "Tu borrow Captain Lowis's dog. I think he'll be of more use that a medium," "What sacrilege !" said Miss Aus- tin,horror depicted on her face. "Fancy ! Setting a dog at a spirit ! Something dreadful will happen to us, I am sure," "Oh, don't leave us !" implored Laura. "You wait in the front parlor ; I shan't begone five minutes ;" and off I went. Captain Lewis was our nearest neighbor, and lived about fifty yards away—a jovial old salt, who had retired from his profession a few years before, and settled down for tho remainder of his days in Porth- penllwyd, his native place. Ho willingly consented to loud his little rough terrier Cymro for the purposo of the rat hunt, which I told him I thought was on hand, and cane him- self to see the sport. "If there's any vermin there," said he„ I'll back Cymro against any dog I know to give a good ac- count of himself." So we returned to the scone of _.action_nnce more.

No sooner had we got into the gantry and lot the dog loose, than he went straight up to the corner I had iudicated, and sniffing all around it, commeuced barking, and showing other signs that his gtuno was afoot. "Something there, evidently," sad the captain. "Stay," I said. 'I'll move the old filter oot of the way„ for the dog to have a better chance 'and'I lifted it up:and placed it on a slab at tbo other end of the room. "Now,; then„ Cylnro, good dog." Strange to say, however, "Cymro good dog," took no further interest that korner, but kept capering wildly round and flying up at the slab on which 1 had placed tho filterin•, "Bust nee !" said the captain after a pause, with more force than eleg- ance, "if I don't believe there's something in the old concern." '`Wait a Minute," I rejoined "Just keep the clog quiet." Then I put my ear to the outside of the filter. in a few seconds I heard unnitstakably the tap, tap, and the scraping noise close ,to my ear. Trio mystery was solved. The ghost was indeed a rut, inside Alio titter. The question wa•,,, "Flow had it got there, and how could it make that noise ? On closer examination, wo found that the filter was without a tap, and the holo where the tap ought to be was choked up by something hard and roundish. This turned out to be the joint of u good-sized bone about four inches long; and the conclus- ion was forced upon us that, iu- credible as it may seem, the•rat had abstracted this bone from ono of tho dishes, carried it to the holo, and succeeded in dragging its burden in alter itself until the thick end of the bone got too big for the passage, and stuck fast, thus making tho rat a prisoner in its extraordinary re- treat. The bone did not fit the hole all retold where it was stuck, but was only iu contact with the filter in two places, so that while suffic- iently tight to resist the efforts of the rat to expel it or drag it in altogether, the bone was still loose enough 1)• tklinit of a lateral movement as on a pivot When touch•' ed at the other end ; and this it was that tho frantic struggles of the im- prisoned rat produced• the mysteri-• ous noises which had given us such a start. I was not long before informing the other inmates of the house that we had captured tho ghost, and I could not help *siding malilioously to Miss • Austin ; "Du write `for Mis Anson to conte; we shall want her to interpret. its i?stie sym- bole." We did not think it sato to trust to Cymro's skill and liberate',the prisoner in the sotni-darknoss, so wo placedthe filter bodily iu a tub full of water, and wishing the captain• good night, retired to rest. Next morning we extracted the dead rat from the filter, and all the family gathered around with interest to look on its remains. "Here lies the ghost of the pan- try," said I, "more a ghost now than 110 was when he imposed on us last night," "Only think, now !" said Marino emmel•. "Oh, you wretch, what a fright you gave us !" said mywife. "Let me play with his tail," said .Master Jack. Miss Austin looked rather foolish, but said nothing ; and during the remainder of our stay, -the taphole ,of the filter was caret'lilly bunged up with a large cork. encmossnranwymunivInomorpreg 4 y. h FBSCHER SJ The Leading `l1� Order C[othinb [louse to Clinton, Opposite the Post Otnee. 10 Per Cent, off fur Cash. .S M.
