Then, having seen the man Hewitt, they
procured light, and made their way to

Il must ask You one question, James,

Miss Curtis narrative was at once revealed
in all its horror. In closet opposite the
door stood the skeleton. A CHASTITY patch
upon the floor showed where Mrs Shand
had fallen dead
Dallas examined the skeleton and the
chest containing it, the door or lid of
which had been opened and swung back.

Doubtless but what of that?"
"What of that Why, the story is

Isaac never placed the skeleton in his

But why should Dallas remain in his

A Trained Cont.

A traveller in the Holy Land. saws Mr..
Holder, was one day stopped by an Arab,
who said he wanted to show him how his
trained goat performed The traveller,
nothing 10th at being entertained where
such novelty was hardly to be expected,
expressed his willingness, and the perform
ance commenced
The Arab dismounted from a miserable
donkey, spread small carpet upon the
ground and called up demure-looking
goat that had been following behind.
From bag the man first took number
of blocks, six inches long, cylindrical in
shape and two inches across the top and
placed four upon the carpet at small dis
lance apart. The goat Immediately
stepped upon them, carefully putting a
foot upon each block. Now the Arab
placed in his mouth small reed musical
instrument and began to drone monoton-
Gus air that was evidently appreciated by
the goat, as it pricked up its ears and
assumed position of deep attention.
Without stopping his music, the Arab
then lifted one of the goats forefeet and
slipped under it another cylinder, and re-
peated the operation under all its hoofs
In this way the goat was gradually lifted
until finally the pillars of wood were
lifted four feet from the ground, the
patient animal preserving its balance per-
fectly, and appearing as if standing on
stills. That the music, if it could be
called music, was an important factor in
this performance, was very evident, for
the moment it ceased the goat began to
waver and tremble; but upon the strains
being revived, the animal seemed to &C
quire fresh confidence. When the music
entirely ceased it toppled over and fell to
the ground.
The next trick, if we may so term it,
was to build up the columns in an uneven
manner, so that finally they were re-
moved from under the forefeet, the animal
standing upon its hind legs on the pillars,
three feet in hight.

Through thy walls. Old Fort, the night winds
sigh,
The gloomy owl nocturnal visits pay,
And, hooting as he passes by.
Gives warning of your sure decay.
What saddening change of scene is thine
Since long, long years ago
Where men were marshaled into line,
The bright wild flowers now grow.
Where once was heard the martial strain
OF freedoms song so sweet,
All is silent, save the pattering rain
That on your adobe walls now beat.
Oft DER thy roof that now is falling in
The starry banner proudly waved;
Oft did the martial musics din
The forests of the West peryade.
Alas. for thee no more shall reign
The clang of Furnished arms,
Nor shall thy halls resound the strain
OF direful wars alarms
All, all is silent round thy ruined walls;
The moping Owls to thee alone repair,
But when thy walls have passed decay,
And in memory only stand
Imprinted on our hearts shall be
Thy former self and band:
With reverence we shall speak thy name,
And keep thy memory ever green
