"How are you aH?"
summoned courage to answer, "Much
better!" And then there came low
laugh, ghostly enough, certainly, to have
caused our blood to curGle had we not
been aware of the identity of the apparent
ghost.
And so it was all explained, and the
mystery of the haunted closet cleared up.
There was, as Mr.. Walton had said, a
speaking-tube communicating between
the office-room and the distant nursery
placed there, doubtless, by the eccentric
English naturalist, DR.. Mather, for his
own convenience; and he, on leaving the
house, had simply carelessly boarded over
the mouths of the tube, not dreaming of,
or indifferent to, the consequences of this
negligence. Probably it had been these
very mysterious sounds which had driven
away the last occupants of the house; and
certain it is that, but for the fortunate dis
covery of their source, we ourselves might
have been won over to the ranks of spiritu-
alists and ghost-believers. Such results
have, ere now, been produced by slighter
causes than these.
The explanation of the various sounds
heard by us in the office-room is very
simple. The corresponding mouth of the
tube was in closet in the nursery, pre-
cisely similar to that in the office. Nom
ma Abbey stored in this closet the various
cups, phials, ETC., used in the nursery,
and, to secure these from the children,
the closet was generally kept locked. 1t
was the opening and shutting of this
closet door, with the grating of the key
in the rusty lock, that had so often
alarmed me; and when it was open, and
search going on among its contents for
some special article, the noises thus made
and the words spoken in the closet, could
be heard, more or less distinctly, in the
office. Also, when the closet door was
suddenly shut to, it would produce a cur
rent of air through the tube sufficient to
slightly open the loosely y-hung door of the
office cupboard. Master Freddy's idea of
setting a mouse-trap in the closet, baited
with poisoned food had added much to
the effect of the mystery; and it was
little Mary's voice which had pleaded so
pathetically for the three victims of her
brothers experiment, imploring that they
might be buried under the magnolia
tree.
Mr. Walton used to say that it was al
most a pity that the secret of the tube
should have been discovered, and there
by so capital ghost-story spoiled.

now briefly consider the measure pro-
posed by the Committee on Finance. In
stead of repeating entirely the duties on
coal, salt, tea and coffee, we propose a large
reduction on them. We reduce the duties
on lumber, rice, lead, and other articles.
The raw products of industry on which pres
ent duties are excessive are largely added to
the free list, and we propose a reduction of
10 per cent. of the duties on most of the tex
tile and metallic fabrics. The reduction pro-
posed is 81, ,50T 1853, but we may fairly antic-
ipate the lessening Of the expenses and such
an increase of importation as will reduce the
loss to the revenue to 81, 100000.
