MYSTERIES of the Night.

There is nothing very odd in my feeling nerv.
Gus when happen to lie awake and get listen
ing for sounds. Just keep your eyes open any
time after midnight, when you are lying in bed
in lone attic of dark night What horrid,
strange, suggestive, una ccountable noises you
will hear The stiffness the night is vul-
gar error. All the dead things seem to be alive,
Crack That the old chest of drawers you
never heard it crack in the DAYTIME. Crack !!
There's door ajar you know you shut them
all. Where can the latch be that rattles SO? Is
anybody trying it softly7 Worse than any
body, IS? (Cold shiver) Then a sud :
den gust that jars all the windows very
strange there does not seem to be any wind
about that it belongs TO. When it stops, you
hear the worms laboring in the powdery beams
overhead. Then steps outside-a stray animal
no doubt. All right-but gentle moisture
breaks out all over you; and then something
like whistle or cry, another gust of wind,
perhaps; that accounts for the rustling that just
made your heart roll over and tumble about, so
that it felt more like live rat under your ribs
than part of your own body then crash of
something that mas laIloL-DlOWH OVeT, very

are damp and cold, and sitting upright, aud the
bed trembling so that the death watch is freigh-
tened and has stopped ticking.
No-night is an awful time for strange noises
and secret doings. Who ever dreamed till one
of our sleepess neighoors told us of it. of that
walpurgls gathering of birds and beasts of prey,
foxes, and owls, and crows, and eagles, that
come from all the country around on moonshi-
ny nights to crush the clans and muscles, and
pick out the eyes of dead fishes that the storm
had thrown on Chelsea beach? Our old moth
er nature has pleasant and CHEEKY tones enough
for US when she comes to US in her dress OF blue
AMI gold over the eastern hill-tops but when
she follows us up stairs to our beds in her suit
of black velvet and diamonds, every creak of
her sandals and every whisper of her lips is full
of mystery and feaf.-'' The Professor" in the 1T
