THREE MINUTES TO

,
IiOn a cold aecember night, seme
twenty years tzhen the earth 'was
bound in a t Auk frost and -the
bitter winds, blewstrong and ahrew11y,
1 I was rettirning home from' span g
the evening at a friend's house., situ d
three or four wiles out of town- Whe
sky was so black, the country lanes ere
sol dark, that I was truly thankful wiben
thfr scattered lights - of an outlying eub.

and it wu with a sigh of relief that
Stopped under the first lamp pest

,was no easy task, for the lamp glasa ha
a iane broken, and' the strong win
b]v the gas in all directions and almos
eat gnished it. , 3
read the time at last—three minate
to itwelve—and, looking up from m
watoh- face, I started to see a man
standing dime opposite me. I hear
nothing of his approach. We locate
at each other for a moment, yet it wa
time Rufficient to imprint his feature
indelibly on my memory. A tall
ehaitby man, in a threadbare blac
boar, coat, and a seedy tall hat, his fac
lantern-jawed and sallow, his eye
sunken and lustreless, his beard Ion
and ill -trimmed. In a tone of elabora
civility he asked me the time, thanke
me for my answer, i and, giving me
good night, passed into the black dark
neva which seemed to engulf him like
gravel.
I m
t ed for a moment to think of hi
lonely, walk in that grim obscurity, an
resin ed my homeward way laughing a
myselT for the start he had given me
and 4flecting that the strong wind h
blown away the sound of his approach
I thought of him as I eat and smoke
my pipe over the :fire, and felt a coin
forteble shudder steal upon me as
imagined him facing tlee bitter blast i
his insufficient clothing.'
In the course of a week or two th
incident—trifling enough—faded fro
my memory, and I thought no more 'o
it.

In those days I was actively engage
in the timber trade, and the course o
my business took me a good deal abon
the country, and brought me largely i
contact with the agents of the differen
noblemen and country gentlemen of th
distriet.\ With one of these agents, who
"(led near the county town of L
had umerous transactions, and I
ased of en to run down to L— to
meet htlni, for the town was fifteen
miles atray, and was on a line of rail-
way. It was a dull little hole that only
warmedj up into life when the militia
were out or the assizes were on.
One night- I returned from L—,
having' j l st made a purchase from my
friend Mu agent, whose master, a sport-
ing noble an, was reduced to out down
the fan& timber. When I fell asleep
that night I had a very simple but vivid
dream. I thought I was standing on a
lofty hill. By my side stood a veiled
figure, who, with a commanding gas -
tree, motioned me towards the town of
L— veNch lay in the far distance.
I:
Then i awoke.
Of course I explained the thing to
myself ea sily enough. I had been a
good deal engaged in the neighborhood
of the plat e, and had a large venture
more or less remately connected with it.
Still the dream was ao vivid that I
oould not dismiss it from ,my thoughts
during the whole of the day, and when
I went to bed at night I wondered if it
would again. visit me.
It did co4ee again; precisely the sam4
dream in pIecieely the same manner.
Once mor 1 found a convincing ex.
planation. Doubtless I had been thinki
ing too much about thefirst dream, and
this had given rise to the second. Bat
my explanation _did not convince ma in
the least; agein I was haunted by the
thing throughout the day, and whee 1
eame home at night, my pre-ocoupation
Wails° °vide t that it attracted the atten-
tion of m wife. She questioned me
upon the e Mind, and only too thankful
to unbosom myself of what was now
almost a, tri uble, I told. her about the
dream and ts repetition. She had the
tact not t laugh at me, but was evi-
dently little impressed by the narrative.
The third \night it came again, if any-
thing, more) vivid and startling that
before. Thi e time I was, utterly un-
hinged; the pale face that fronted me
in the looking -glass was hardly recognis-
able for lay own. I went down to
'breakfast filled with a foreboding of
some misfortune—badnews in my let-
ters—I knew not what.
The maid entered with the letter -bag.
" There,' .said my wife, gassing me a
letter on which was the L— post-
mark. " That breaks your dream,
John."
I opened' it hurriedly. It was from
the agent re c nesting me to meet him at
L— that thy at one o'clock, to arrange
a difficulty that had arisen in the per-
,
formulae of tis contract.
I was inte; sely relieved. Here was
an opportnnit to go to L—, and per-
haps the very fact of going would put
me right. T ere were two fast trains
to L— in the morning, but I decided
to go by the first, regardless of the fact
that I shoulc( have some hours to wait.
So I found rat self shortly in a fIrst-olass
conpartrent,i peeding awayj - towards
my destinatio .e
The carriag was hill. Pipes exhaled
their fragrance, newspapers were turn-
ed and flatt necl, and there was that
leisurely kind of morning conversation
that prevails mong men going off by
an early traii to their day's work. I
soon discover d that I had fallen
amongst a party of barristers, and their
chief topic wa a peculiarly interesting
case which wa to be finished that day
at L— AineiZee.
" He must s m up against the pris-
oner," said a gentleman with a fat,
florid face, anc long sandy whiskers,
who wore a 'ght overcoat and shep-
herd's plaid t ousers. "The defence
was a complete failure, and deserved to
be.
it It was certIlinly rather audacious,"
returned a cl4an-shaven young man,
with a double eyeglass, who sat opposite
me. "Dat I don't like circumstantial
evidenced' .
"All evidence is more or less oiroum-
atantial,4 answered he of the florid com-
plexion; " and i?his man is as, clearly
guilty to my millid as if there had been,
a down witnesata to stand by and see
him do the dell That'my opinierc.
Heywood." And the oracle disappeared
s
behind his news aper. ,
IL
. reeling glad to disoover any topic
that would, div rt my thoughts from
their g,loonay ft rebodings, I addressed
anyislf to Heywt the young bards-
•
•
ter, with wh.m I had a slight acquaint-
"' You seem much interested in this
trial that is going on," I said. "May
I ask if you are engaged upon it ?"
"No," he answered-. "But it is a
curious case. Aeman, a olerk dismissed
from his employment, is accuded of
murdering the cashier of the firm.: The
oridence against him is entirely oir-
tiumstantial, but the defence broke
4pwn at the most critical point, and
he case certainly looks very black for
he prisoeer."
.
The train was now slackening speed,
and there was a general rising., I rose
ked Mr. Heywood, opening the door
rs. oa
"Are you going to get out here ?"
s
s 'we were gliding into the station.
" Have you come down so early on bush,
ess ?"
'' Ye—es," I aid, wishing to goodness

Not knowi g what to do with i myself
f r the next wo hours, I aocepted the
cjffer with gratitude. I was scionl seated
le an obso re corner of a dingy, ill-
hehted, ill-veilitilated court -house, which
would have been ill -smelling, too, had
not been for the scent wafted from
tb.e numerou ladies who were present.

a t see the p isoner, or his counsel, or
e en the aloe over 'his head, at which
tie people k pt looking eagerly as the
h ur fixed for the recommencement of
the trial apprOaehed. At last there was
a stir and a bustle, caused by persons
iievisible to me, then a call for pilence,
aild, after a few preliminaries, the sum-
nling up commenced.
I listened the more intently because I
could see nothling. The clear, cold, tell-
ing sentence cut deep into my con-
sc'onsness.

weighty tones eased, and a murmur of

Phe jury ret reed after a short ab -

sounded throe la the court, again they
ceased.
There was dead silence. I sprang
to illy feet, as I impelled to do so by
some unseen pe wer, and looked steadily
at the prisone . His face was averted
from me for the moment, but the looks
of the people showed that he was' &bent
to apealt. Slowly he turned round, and
in a voice whose deep, earnest tones
could be heard all over the assembly,
he eaide-
alThere lives but one man who
can prove me innocent—and there he
meads."
With a white face and outstretched arm
..
he pointed—at me. I gazed at him with
a sudden flash of recognition. It was
the man I had seen under the laity.
And, by a strange coincidence`, at this
moment the court clock struck twelve.
The plea that had been set up by the
defence was anialibi. But there was a

John's Island, S. C, April 9th.
" Dear Laura and Bessie:
" feel quite sorry for you at the

"This house is very old, almost hied
hundred years o14, and Affie says her
granchnother told her that there ie
well tinder the house,, and in this elj
there is a bottle in whioh a ghost Iaa
been ahnt for one thousand years. It
can come out every day at noon, jlong enough to knock three times at he

front door. Affie and I have heard it
very often, but uncle TOM Flays it is
only the wind. Grown-up people thiok '
children don't know anything, but I
have !often heard that ghosts stay in
very old houses; and this house is very
old indeed. It is oovered all over with

Yesterday when I 'WAR claming down
stairs I saw Dick --Aunt Hattie's beau-
tiful cat—lying at the bottom of the

steps vtith a big blaok snake coiled
around him, and he was playing with it
as if it had been a mouse. Aunt says
before she got 4 Dick ' and 'My Lady'
e -My Lady is Dick's sister—the snakes
*ere dreadful; but the oats kill them
is readily as they do mice. Affie's
brother was bit by a blot* snake three
years, ago; it diode not kill him, but
every spidng he is covered with great
sores, beciense the poison is still in his
blood. •A' few days ago old Major,
uncle's head man, shot a rattlesnake,
and when it felt itself too badly hurt to
get sway it article itself with its own
fangs, and wait dead in a moment. Old
Major gave me his rattle; it is nine
rattles and a butto . I will give it to
either 'of you t o who will dean my

they hang all the seakes they kill on
the bushes or fences, and they think
that will bring rain ; but if they don't
want rain they bury them, because they
believe snake bones to be poisonoul if
they slioni0 tread on them with their

snake they don't kill; that is the rat

if they de not, the snake soon kills
hem all; so people are, glad to see a
kat snake pay them a visit.
"All this faland is divided into plan-
tatibas of different sizes. • Uncle's has
thirteen hundred acres. They have all
their own 'names. One is called 'The
Waterloo Plantation,' from the great
battle of Waterloo. One is called
'Cane Slash,' because, Affie's grand-
mother wipe so much whipping used
to be done there in slavery times. One
is called 'Seven Oak,' after a large oak
tree which stands on it and which has
seven braniehes, each branch as large as
an ordinary tree. Uncle's plantation is
called ' Head Quarters,' because long,
long ago the British general had his
residence here. Every plantation has
from twentyt to a hundred Negro cabins
on it, most of them built of logs, with
log chimneye. On uncle's plantation
there is e big swamp; it is fall °tall
