at some frightful creation of my
distempered mind, l seemnd struck
with sudden blindness. l knew a
candle was burning in the room,
but could not see it. All was so
pitchy dark. lost the sense Of
feeling too, for l endeavored to
grasp my arm in one hand, but
consciousness was gone. | put
my hand to my side, my head,
but felt nothing, and still l knew
my limbs and frame scere there.
An then the scene would change.
| was falling-lalling swiftly as an
arrow far down into some terrible
abyss; and so like reality was it
that as l fell, l could see the
rocky sides of the horrible shaft;
where mocking, gibing, m;wing,
fiend-like forms were perched,
and ! could feel the air rushing
past me, making my hair to stream
out be the force of the unwhole-
some blast. Then the paroxysom,
sometimes ceased for a few mo
ments and would sink back on my
pallet drenched with perspiration,
utterly exhausted, and feeling a
dreadful certainty OF the renewal
of my torments."

stuff; believe the Devils beautiful

every tree OF the gardens
Aud the woman said unto the
serpent, We may eat of the fruit
of the trees of the garden.
But of tie fruit of the tree,
which is in the midst Of the gar

lest We die. I
Aad the serpent said unto the
won.%n, Ye shall not surely die:
Fo. Gad doth know that in the
day We eat thereof, then your eyes
shall be opened, and ye shall be as
gods, knowing good and evil.
And when the woman saw that
I. the tree was good for food, and
that it was pleasant 10 the eyes,
