A traveller while vending his way
thro ugh the eastern portion Of the state Of
New York stopped over night at the village
Of s., with some friends who were
great wags In one of the bedrooms of
tie hous there was a be1stead, fastened
by pullies TO .he ceiling Night time
came, AMI the traveller was shown to his
room. 4 girl led the way. candle in hand
and after pointing or. the bed, departed
with the light, saying that she nee ded it
for other loigers The traveller undressed
and groped his way to the bel, or to the
place where he hll seen Il, bat was amaz-
to to find that it had disappeared. From
corner to corner ne groped, but the search
was useless. Somewhat frighted, lie com
meuced shouting, broclaing that the house
was bew;tched. The landlord and two or
three Of his guests bearing lights, answer
ed his emphatic SummonS, ana just as he
was about to tell the story of the missing
bed, he looked, and 10. there it stood as it
was befo-c. lie tried 20 inform them Of
bis inability TO find tie bei,te4d, but they
only laughed at him telling him he must
be crazy Bidding him good night, aud
advising him to 60 TO bed at once and
sleep OF his delirium, they left him. A.
soon as they shut the door he made dive
for the bed and Ianted on the floor. He
then began to haIloa aud yell l3uler than
before. aud started FIR the door. In at
tempting to descend the stairs he fell
headlong to the bottom, making such a
terrible noise that I'LL the inmates rushed
TO him to learn the cause of the disaster
Again be told he told his story, but he
was received with ridicule To satisfy
him that he had been mistaken, one Of the
guests proposed to enter the room with
him and remain there until ne should
tail asleep. The proposition was GLADLY
accepted and in about twenty minutes the
traveller was sound asleep. The wags ;hen
gently hoisted the bed almost to the cell
ing, and commenced shouting" fire, muir
der," &c. Thoroughly alarmed, he spran 2
out Of bed; but the distance being fully
six times what he calculated, he imagined
ne had fallen over fifty feet Fear seemed
to strengthen his lungs, and he shouted
like trooper, proclaiming ihat the house
was haunted, and that the inn of darkness
had attempted to fly away with him. The
other guests who bad entered the room,
coldly pointed to the beistcai, saying thai
1t could not have been moved; but they
were unable II shake the belief that his
iufernal majesty had taken refuge in the
mysterious bed.
