" Hath he a shadow Ah! tell, then
he is not a spirit. 'Still, methinks
there is something evil about him, Now,
cousin, VII wager my new pacluasoy
gown that he is a dealer in the black
art, a- conjuror like the one Deacon
Bain told us of that hath so tormented
the good people of Beaton."
" And the contents of his box, didst
thou see them, Chloe? they are truly
strange." .
" Strange, are they'? No, I saw them
not. Simon Slim hid them from my
sight while he pressed close to the box
in
his eagerness. Doubtless they are
the instruments of his magic art, and
he must be the very one himself who.
bath so disturbed the country."
e ! think you so ?" cried Sibyl,
- with flushed cheeks and dilated eyes.
"I wonder if my father will allow him
to tarry here ?"
"Yes, certainly; Uncle Silas would
not refuse to shelter the Evil, One him-
self, If only he left his horns an
hoofs at home."
" How now, magpies ? What are yo
chattering about?" cried old Silas, wh
appeared on the threshold at that m
moist. "Who are you comparing to th
Evil One?'
." The black -brewed Stranger who has
just arrived," replied Chide, saucily!'
" Must lie tarry here r asked Sibe
going to her father and stroking his fa.c
all the distance he could between the
new comer and himself.
"How 'mow you this, friend?" asked
Silas. Have y9u witnessed it your-
,
self?"
"Witnessed It? . Yes, a thousand
times, in every country on the globe,
and am no- mean perfornier 'myself,
which I will prove to you, with your
leave; and I own not the devil for my
master, neither do I know aught of his
black art." • 1
" No, no, Silas," hiiecl the deacon.
pay thee not to allow it; it will
bring a curse upon thee and thine."
Yes, it willbring' a curse upon thee
and thine," echoed Burchard.
"Tat, tut! nonsenee!" said. the doc-
tor, gently pushing the deacon away to
Make room for the stranger., "Come to
the table, and give us aegeoof of thy
skill. Silas Drinkwater never refuses
aught that pleases- his guests."
"Oh, uncle, pray allow hien to show
us these strange things !" cried Chloe,'
eagerly, coming forward. "I should
like much to see there.",
d Silas glanced at his daughter, who
drew hack timidly, and remained silent ;
u then, nodding good-naturedly to his vis-
itors, he said,_ 'I've no objection; if the
o_ girls- are not afraid; I'm not the one to
spoil Sport, as you all know. Deacon,
may leave quickly if you wish. Now,
you can get near the oor, so that when
the devil comes down the chimney you
et friend, lei us see some of thy craft."
e The stranger looked a mei-tient
with her eoft hanch "I like him not:
mast he tarry here ?"
" Tarry here? by ray faith, yes; and
why not? Has Silas Drinkwater ever
dlosedjais door upon a tired stranger ?
theneihy upon this one? What means
this dislike? The stranger is of gentle
- breeding, and beareth himself right
,t

such mysterious instruments !" return
ed excungly, for she did not lik
to oppose her father. -
Tush, child ! -you do but show your
ignorance. The man is only a peddler
of surgical instruments; and Heaven
knows we have need of them in these
times, when. there is more marring than
making and more pain than eorafort.
Enough' of nonsense. Come both of
you to slipper ; treat this stranger Well
and let there be Ito, looks of aversion to-
ward himi"
Chloe shrugged her shoulders, while
she pinned a height knot of ribbon in
the white herchieLfolded over her We-
enie and Sibyl sighed again and again
as she smoothed her soft gelden haat,.
" Thou art pale and Sad, cousin,"
said Chloe, putting her arm lovingly
about Sibyl as they descended the
stairs to meet the' stranger at the sup-
per table.
"And. thou, art as bright and gay as
one bent on conquest." -
"Am I?" returned Chloe, with a Hard
laugh. " Well, I would ratIler -win the
adrniration of Satan himself than not
be admired at all
"Hush, couiin. !" said Sib3d, in gen-
tle reproval ; " you speak recklessly,
but your intentions are better than
your words, as I who love -you so well
can truly declare."
Be not too sure," returned Chloe,
with a bitter laugh, as they entered the
room where the stranger was. already
seated at time table.
The meal passed in uncomfortable
silence, for the sombre guest seemed
little disposed to converse, and Chloe,
• who watched him closely, declared af-
terward that he sent plate after plate
away untested, and instead of- eating his
food as a hungry traaeller should do, he .
feasted his eyes on Sibyl's troubled iface
with an uncomfortable persistency.' No
doubt envy and indignatiou against the
stranger far neglecting her own brilliant
charme had sem etnieg to do with
Chloe's ungracious remarks, for not
once to her knowledge did his deep
- strange eyes rout on her flushed, haughty
face.
After the meal seas' over, and they
had seated themselves around the lire—
„for the evenings were chilly the
strange guest came and silently took
his place in the corner by the broad
chimney, where, from the shadow, he

el in the golden glow of the firelight.
thoughtfully over the :,eager, half -fright-
ened -group, then turning to his, black
box that stood on a table nearahe bent
over it, unfastened its many locks, and
seemed. to search for something among
its contents. While he was thae occu-
pied, the curiosity of the deacon got the
better of his prudence, and stepping soft-
ly behind the neweeonier,he peeked over
d his shoulder, anxious to get a glimpse
h into the mysterious looking, box e but
_ in vain, for just at that moment the
e owner closed the lid, ilea turning, faced
e leasF -surprise.
d that he was
taken nothing
to the table, he

The poor gid was uneasy. flushing
and paling under his persistent observa-
tion; impelled by some strange power
to return his gaze, again and again she
raised her eyes to his, only to drop them
instantly under his searching look • and
all the time Chloe, instead of being near
her, sat apart in close conversation with
Simon Slim, who followed her like her
shadow, his devotion and, adminitiou-
being the subject of Riau a ie.& Now,
although apparently engaged with Si-
mon, chiee's eyes nevem fur a moment
left the group around the fire, as she
studiedy both the stranger and -
her cousin with a peculiar meaning in
her gaze, while from tim;.0 to time her
clear laugh and a suppressed titter from
Simon showed that their talk was of a
merry naeure.
At length Silas, who lkiced that the
streamer seemed lost- it_ a silent reverie,
thought it incumbent upon him, as the
host, to make some effort to at-ouse and
entertain him ; but his well -meant ad-
vances were useles8, for his direct ques-
tions clad polite remarks” (nay elicited a
few monosyllables from his gloomy
guest, and, the (rood old landlord was
much relic -tell ei''-hen the usual evening
visitors began to arrive. Deacon Bain,
Doctor Milani, and Burchard the school
master eutered, and with an enquiring
glance at the silent figure in the corner,
took their accustomed places around the
fire, and. the conversation became gen-
eral, taming, by some Strange coin -al -
deuce,
-
deuce, upon the subject Of necromancy. -
Immediately the dark face of the stran-
ger lighted. up, his eyes sparkled, and t
his white teeth showed. from time to I
time as though he smiled scorn-
fully. t
" Now tell me, deacon, When you
were in Boston, did. you see aught of
this conjuror and his black -art 7' asked:
Silas, after listening to the deacon's ac- ii
count of the wonderful things be had t

It is needless to describe the 'Dinner=

with the aid of cards, tinge, eggs and a

neatly at Sibyl; who stood near, her to
wild eyes full of terror, "1 ..em often tc.

"Little fool ! -wouldst thou not like

" Ain, that I would indeed."- .
"Then try. II d . 'miracles, and.

" I lost a letter. this M ruing; sir, and
I would like right well tc soo it again."
said Sibyl, -in a half -audible voice.
" A letter? Well; you shall , have it,"
returned the stranger, going near her
aid making a fevi rapid passes over her.
"It is in the folds of your kerchief."
Sibyl put her hands 'to her bosom;
and, as pale tes death, der forth a fold-
ed. paper, which she opened, and see,inl.,,t
before her -Startled eyes -Will Mime

crying, " Yes, it is his letter." -

"Awl' how hath it coin° here in my
dross 1" - asked Sibyl, looking wildly
of the strange events of the day, when
suddenly she saw a. shadow creep close
to her feet, and there • stood the dark
stranger before her.
With a cry of terror, she was about to
rush away; when he laid a 'gently de-
taining haled on her shoulder, compel-
ling her to remain.
"Listen to me a moment, sweet mis-
tress,"_he said, in a voice that sounded
like soft music; and Sibyl, unable tore-
sist, Sat white and trembling, waitingto
hear what he would say. In the moon-
light he seemed transfigured into p,
ble, gracious person, and his eyes th
t she sofeared were very tender as th
rested upon her. "Listen a moine
gentle lady, and. fear -me not, for
would not harm one thread pf gold on
your dear head. , I love you -1 worship
you."
"Love me! Qh,, say not. so !" inter-
rupted Sibyl," for it 'can not be .possible,
seeing you have known me but fora few
hours.'"
" Say not that I have only known! you
for a few hours. Ney, I have adored
you long in silence and secrecy."
"kb, your words bewilder me! Ho

my ways are like myself; nevertheless,
I worship you, and if you will be mine,
I will place you on 'a height that all

shall flash upon your brow and deck
your beauty right well!" And w4h a..
passionate movement he flung the box
from his shoulders, and opened it 'with
hurried fingers. And Sibyl, following

with fire in their ',hearts and rainbow

moon. These are all thine, if thou
wilt give thy love to me," he cried, lift -
Mg them in his hands. -and holding
them before her dazzled eyes, "and
wealth and honor besides, Thou art
too bright a jewel for so rough a setting;
let me take thee' away to fairer lands, to
softer climes, and thy life shall be one
sunny day. Come,- My sweet lady --

SEED WHEAT.
THE Subscriber, believing that farmers in this
neighborhood are now fully convinced that
the Red Chaff Wheat has entirely ruined the
good reputation of our Canacliam Spring Grain
in the European markets, as may -be observed by
the unusual difference of 20c to 80e per bush. be-
tween it and thepriee of Fall Wheat.; thatit is also
very liable to rust befordharvest, producing flour
too dark and poor for family use. I would «a -
