time appointed for the decision OF the
bet.
The next evening came, and every
thing being in readiness, pistols, fire
and grog-the corpse was brought in
by the party who laid the wager, as
sisted by friend, cnyeloped in large
sheet, and placed in n coffin, and set
down in the middle of the room. At
this instant the young hero was called
down from the room to speak To some
person on trihing business, which he
instantly dispatched, and returned up
stairs. The parties who brought the
corpse in after wishing him a good
night, were on the point of departure,
when he earnestly said to them -
"Now if any tricks are attempted to
be played with me, will fire at the
corpse, if one it is, for i strongly sus-
pect it is a living being" They made
him no further answer to this threat,
than these ominous words :-"Re-
member IL o'clock !"
He was then left alone. He stirred
his fire, slipped his grog, and made
himself as comfortable AZ he could pos
sibly do. At length tie solemn hour
arrived. As the last stroke vibrated
on his ear, he distinctly saw the corpse
begin to move-he snatched pistol
from the table, advanced 10 the coffin,
and exclaimed, Hf your stir another
step, | viii fire" To this Injunction
he received no answcr-thC supposed
corpse rose up III the coffin and step
ped. He repeated his threat--it still
advanced--he fired, and the bullet was
thrown back in his face by the suppos-
ed corpse. He fell 10 the floor with "A
piercing shrek, and rose a lunatic, in
which wretched state he remained till
his death, which happened about a
year after this tragic and trul y heart
rending scene occurred.
A more lamentable instance of cruel
folly perhaps never occurred. Had
its victim reflected but for n moment,
he would have been saved; but the idea
Of the ballet being returned, or perhaps
that of shooting fellow creature, took
such an effect upon his nerves, that
reason forsook her empire never more
to return.
During the time he was gone ont of
the room to speak to the person who
wished to see him, (who was a party
conccrncd,) the bullets were drawn
from the pistols, and given into the
hands of the corpse, who was likewise
one of the party who was present when
the wager was laid. The occurrence
is never thought of by either ofthe act
ors in this foolish affair, but it occa-
sions sigh or IA pang Of remorse.

FATAL FROLIC.

About twenty years ago, a young
gentleman. remarkable for strong
nerve, was at party consisting of a
few friends where ghosts and supernat-
ural agency became the subject orcon-
versation. After a few remarks by
some of the party, the young gentle
mans opinion was asked, when he
firmly declared that he had no belief
whatever in such nonsense, and that
he would rs soon meet n herd Of ghosts
us a flock of sheep, and that he would
no more mind passing a night in a re-
nutcd haunted house, than bv his own
iiresidc. One or two of the party de-
,crmined tn try his nerve, and one gen-
tlcman in particular offered to wager
him dozen of wine that he would be
afraid to set up all night with corpse.
lie instantly accepted the bet, proyid.
cd he was allowed fire, a pair of pis.

we have not forgotten what you said
