my worn-out frame, and my hair per-

feeling Of unspeakable loneliness will

l found myself naked and chained in
a dungeon Of a mad dhouse it was cold
piercing cold I; the night was mild and
stormy, high hoarse-voiced wind shook
the dark tall trees, which grew around
the window, and their shadows, reflected
hy the bright moonlight, danced and
fickered on the roof and walls of my
cell like demons laughing at me, and
mocking my distress; a great moping
screeh-owl was perched outside the gra-
tings Of the window; aud as the neigh
boring church-clock chimed the hour of
one, it slowly and sluggishIy raised it's
head for moment, opened its heavy
dull eye, and then slumbered as before,
the clanking of chains was sulIenly heard
at inservaIs and above, aud below, and
from every side, came fearful demoniac
like gusts of screaming and laughter,
and shrieks ofinsensate agony and wild
dark blasphemies and exccrations.
