Haunted House in Newport-Man Killed by

We are informed that haunt ID house has

ISOLATION is situated on Madison street. near
the suspension bridge, and that it was recently
occupied by man named Parks. There has
been much sickness in the house, and very
often in the middle Of the night strange noises
have been heard-sounds similar to those made
by striking violently with small stick on the
stove rumblng and smart raps about the walls.

ner Several families have been frightened
out of the place by continual sickness when
residing in it. and the disturbances we have
indicated. The latest tenant was named Parks,
and there was much illness in his family, as in
others. and the mysterious knockiags, thump-
ings, and spiritual pranks generally, very
much annoyed and alarmed him. About a
week since Parks awaked suddenly. near mid
night, and complained to his wife that he was
dreadful thirsty, but spiritual demonstrations
were then being made about the premises with
such sound and fury that be said he was afraid
to 60 for drink. His wife seems to have
been composed of sterner stuff as she said to
him: 'M the name ofthe Devil if you ,Uant

THE DEPARTED.
BY NJ ARION.

There Is void in every pleasant DWELLING
From every household hath some IDOL flown--
And love and grief forever more telling
Ot buried treasures now, no more our own.
Yet, why not ours? There sometimes hevereth or us
sense of something strangely sweet and dear,
May not the loved and lost then glide before us,
Tho' our dim eyes perceive presence near?
We meet no more the arms that once caressed us,
For the dear eye we loved seek we in van--
We hear no longer voices that have blessed US,
And to our call they answer not again.
Perchance they do---alas! we may not hear them,
For turbulent and dea'ning is the roar
or lies great sea--we feel that are near them,
Tho touch or voice can thrill US never more.
The room is not so Lonely as II seemeth,
Nor all unOccupled the vacant chair:
The dead are with us ry dwelling teemeth
With phantom shapes intangible as air.
They wander with US through the grassy meadows;
Along the busy street. and 81 ent way,
NOi>eless and viewless are these fitting shadows
That move around us ever, day by day.
Bnt the dear hands that clasp own no longer,
Still hold the chain whose erv link is lO-e,---
To this we cling while faith and hope grow stronger,
That we shall meet the lost of earth above.
