THE OLD HOMESTEAD: Or
MIDNIGHT VISITOR.
BY ELLEN WAREHAM.

Eighty years ago, in the town of Lexipg-
ton, Massachusetts, place hallowed in the
history of our national independence as
having been the first to be baptised in the
blood of liberty, was situated beneath. the
brow of an abrupt hill, large old fashioned
house, then known as the Warner Home
stead. 1t was a quaint and aniiquated
building, with large gable ends, vast Chin
neys, small windows, moss covered roof
capacious doors, and tine-worn exterior
which give it singular and dreamy ap.
pearaace.
Twenty Years previous to the time we
have described, it was occupied by Morris
Warner, a man who was reputed to be i'm
mensely rich. He had emigrated from
England some ten years before, bringing
with him young and beautiful wife and
two servants, an old man and his wife. In
vain did the good old danes of the village
endeavor to pry into his affairs, but all
was sealed book to them, so close did
they keep themselves from their neighbors.
If anything was required for the homestead
it was purchased and paid for by the old
servant, who gave the many inquirers no
satisfaction to their nu IL erous questions
This only led to conjecture and suspicion
on the part of the inhabitants of the town,
many Of whom delighted in the marvellous.
Thus things went on TOR a couple of years,
yet the gossips were as much in the dark
as on the first day that Mr.. Warner and his
family took possession Of the old house
During the whole time they had resided in
the town they had never visited the church,
and this was Immediately set down as
most heinous offence against them and soon
it was gravely asserted that light had been
seen there at late hours of the night, and
that the figure of man had been no
ticed several times to enter the house at.
precisely twelve o'clock. These stories lost
nothing in being re-told, and it was at
once decided that there had been some foul
play done by it's inmates, which if known
would consign them to the gibbet.
Morris Warner was the only son of a
pround English earl. His two brothers
having died some few years before, his
fathers titles aud estates must naturally,
in the couse of human events, fall TO him
as his rightful possession. At the time of
Morris majority he became deeply enam-
CURED with the beautiful apd accomplished
Elizabeth Tracy, daughter of Col. Tracy, of
