Franklin Patriot.


When at night we climb the
gloomy outside stairway that leads
to our parlors. and tread the dark
hall towards the wellknown ilscrip-
ton that reads 'tNo Admittance
except on Business we always
experience peculiar sensations. We
are approaching the intellectual do
main of which we are the Great
Iogul and stoical High Priest-and
feelings Of awe sd sometimes chilli
ness-creep over US as we near its
portals. There are three or four
rooms. besides ours, occupied in
that hall. The occupants are steady,
silent boys. They retire early and
| alas, for our day break sleep, too
early. We don't rise with the lark,
or any other bird-unless it is the
lneledious bed-bug. We sometimes
arise with that bird in the night and
look for him. Alas, he is not there.
He can abscond as quickly and si-
lentiy as bank cashier But to
our subject. The other night when
weary and worn (our cloths, at least
we're worm, we ascended the old
stairway, we heard a groan. We
have heard groans on battlefelds aud
we recognized the present groan as
"a groan. Bet you four dollars it
was a groan. Groaping along 10
the ghostly darkness we stumbled
over human form. A thrill of in.
describable horror stole over us.
What if q midnight assassin had
placed himself in that position for
the purpose of enlisting our sympa-
thies, and then when we bent to
whisper our sympathies and pour
out the contents ofour pocket-books,
stab US to the heart with barlow
knife Ye several gods what a mo-
ment It may be nece ssary here TO
state that we are extremely courage.
Gus. We fear nothing-except credi-
tors. We can even eat hash with
out tremor. When our foot touch
ed the prestrate, mysterious form,
our heart turned double back sum-
mersault Our hair turned as white
as snow in second. 1--WE have had
it colored since There was no
sound except the beating of our
heart and the heavy breathing Of
the PROSTATE form beneath us. The
darkness was so dense that it would
take the light of a talIow candle an
hour to bore its way through yard
of it. We felt uneasy. Something
must be did. STOPPING suddenly
we seized the unseen form by the
throat. Then the unseen form
reached up and catching us by the
nec-tie, gave it twist that caused
us to lose our right senses and imag-
inc that we had been hung for kill
ing an exchange friend. We loos-
ened our hold and so did the un-
seen form. Thought I'd fetch
you," said the u. f. ''Who are your
we gasped. The melancholy reply
was ''only a tramp got any ter
backer?''
