\ story Of the "knockings" wa.

In the Western portion Of New

have created considerable excitement.
Among the subjects of this excitement
was simple man, Of middle age.
whose bumps of marvellousncss and
reverence were equally large. He
was, Of course, supcrsttiously rchs.

had taken eager occasion to be q wit.
hess, inn ressed him with the utmost
awe.
the mans wife, however, was a
very different kind of being. She
secuted the "spirits" laughed at her
husband, and took every occasion to
rally him upon wha. she deemed his
special weakness.
One morning, after the sold man
had been out to hear TIE knockings,
the remembrance of which had stolen
away nights rest. he arose early. as
w&s has wont, to make q fire. The
wife was awake, and determined on
having some fun. So raising herself
on her elbow, she regarded her hus-
band, not more than half dressed,
certainly, as he kncelcd at the stove,
and a1stractedly lokcl among the
ashes.
The wife applied her knucklcs to
the head board Of the bed: rap.rap-
