myself for indulgiug in feeling which I could
not help acknowledging WAS both unreasonable
aud childish.
BUTT gained ground in spite Of myself and
one night, as IVES standing by the looking glass
in my bedroom, Which was in the shadow,
caught sight Of Miss Burke, who was
leaning on the mante1piece, in the full
light Of the gas which was burning on
either side of it, regarding me with stealthy
and searching glance which instantly observed,
but had sufficient sense to take no notice OF.
The expression in her large black eyes haunted
me- for days, and caused ne to say good night to
her on the landing, and in addition, TO lock my
door, precaution had never before thought of
taking.
One night shortly afterwards awoke fancy
ing heard movement outside my door. My
room was perfectly dark, and was
convinced some noise had suddenly
awakened me. + listened intently, almost
distinctly the handle OF my door cautiously
turned. An almost death-like horror seized me,
and for IN instant I MAS absolutely rigid with
terror; but the spell Was broken By another
audible effort to open the door, aud the ball
clock striking threo, which made me- spring up in
bed, seize the matches, and with trembling
fingers, attempt two or three times to strike q
light At last was successful and the welcome
blaze Of the gas which I Lit gave me courage to
call out boldly: ''Who is there7" But no
in few minutes heard steps approaching, and
Ellis welcome voice asked it VAS ILL.,

Tho Word Spoken on Tuesday.

The result Of Tuesdays elections, found
in our Telegraphic column. have taken BY
surprise the most sanguine Republicans.
and IS better than they hoped for.
Pennsylvania was considered doubtful.
New York almost despaired Of. and New
Jersey hopelessly Democratic, and now
these two great States report themselves
IN favor Of Republican principles. and New
Jersey, turning back on her former record
follow their lead. Minnesota makes Re
publican gains from last year, and Wiscon-
sin and the old Bay State, wheel back
again into line. The Democratic tidal
wave Of last year has surely reached its
height and Is now rolling back
The vote Of last month in Ohio and to-
days intelligence from New York and
Pennsylvania, would seem to settle be-
yond doubt the result of the contest in
$50. With prudence on the part OF Re-
pubiicans, aud wise and honest admins
tFatiou Of the Government on Republican
principles, there can be no question but
the people Will uphold the party, and next
year grant it a new lease of power
The bubble of imitation has vanished ill.,
70 thin air, and no new dodge of the oppo-
sition viii be likely TO be more successful.
