politely signifed TO the apparition dasire
10 break up the interview; but on the sug>
4 gestion of Mr.. Merriwea,her that ii was
probably long time since Tie old man
had an airing, and that he ought to be al
lowed reasonable indulgence for that
purpose, the company dispersed, leaving
the door open to admit of free egress

Swashy returned to his place Of bnsinss on
ihe following morning. But hisfears we're
unnecessary guest was gone and had
left no trace Of his presence. Nor was he
again annoyed by any similar visitation.
For a long time he was continually on the
alert, full of dreadful expectation, He
grewvery thoughtful, aud maderesiiiution
IN several other cases Of similar nature.
The tale obtained general currency III ihe
neighborhood, and was for long time The
best authenticated ghost story extant.

Of neighboring village, became the hus>

said he had been long attached. Among
his multifarious pursuits, that Of portrait
painter was one, and he was et en- reputed
TO be acquainted with the mysterious art
OF making casts in plaster Of the human
head and face. His genius, for want Of
fostering aid, had been bnt sIightlydeyel-
oped AT Risingtille, bat at the place of
his subsequent abode he is said to have
acquired singular reput alton for dex eri-
ty III there pursuits. Some have gone SO
far as to say that an old plaster # paris
burst Of his father-iu law, with the vsage
painted to resemble life, had been dis
covered in his private museum, The bet,
ter informed however, cad no ear to these
insinuatons, bu, inainlai the genuiueucss
Of the ghost. Indeed, the, have one argu-

fright manifested by Mr.. Merriw a,hcr
himself at the appar'tion. [Coactudea.]
