books were on the centre table, and q
magnificent mirror. extending from the
floor TO the ceiling. was az each end 8: The
room.
NV curiosity vas now thoroughly
aroused, and | determined to examine
the whole house. Passing Though a
large folding door, found myself IL the
drawing room. The table was Of elabo-
rately carved oak, and chairs and side
board corresponded. / opened cupboards
and closets, and found an abundance Of
elegant china, richly cut glassware and
cutlery. Ny next room was the library.
with large bay window facing the east.
I opened the shutters, and found book
cases ranged on two sides, filed with
choice collections Of history, biography,
poetry, and travels and romance; beau
tifully carved writing desk, chairs, etc.
all giving evidences Of decay. But it is
useless TO elumerate what l saw in all
the rooms Suffice il to say that al! Of
the chambers were richly furnished, and
in some l found articles both rare and
costly.
one room must be mentioned, however,
as it will be exceedingly conspicuous IN
nv narrative. 1t was about eighteen feet
square, elegantly hung in rose coloEed
silk. but now rotten with age and neglect.
There were in the room two sofas, two
luxurious easy chairs, two low ottomans'
md several other chairs, all OF whicn
we're upholstered in elegant roSe-coiored
ATTN. A small piano in one corner had a
over Of the same rosy hue, and IN another
corner Was one of the most beautiiui
writing desks l ever saw. small circular
able in the centre Of the room had ON 1t
n empty decanter and three glasses. A
uperb dressing table occupied the spaces
etween the two windows on the west side,
n the marble top of which were several
ssence bottles, b powder box. tan, ana
