MISCELLANY. THE LONG PACK. : In the ear 1723, Colonel Ridley return- ed from Iiidia, with what, in those days, was accounted an immense fortitne, and retired to a country seat on the bati ks of North Tyne in Northumberland. The house was rebuilt and furnished with every thing elegant and costly. He went to London annually with his family, during a few of the winter months, and at these times there were but few left at his country house. At the time we treat of, there were only three domestics remained there; a maid servant whose name‘ was Alice, kept the house, and there were besides, an old man and a boy, the one threshed the corn, and the other took care of some cattle, for the two ploughmen were boarded in houses oftheir own. One afternoon as Alice was sitting spinning sotiie yarn for a pair of stockings for herself the pcdlar entered the hall with a comical pack on his back. It was about the middle of winter, when the days were short, and nights cold, long, and wearisome. The ped- lar was a handsome, well dressed man, and very likely to be a very agreeable compan- ion for such a maid as Alice, on such a night as that; yet Alice declared, that from the very first she did not like him greatly, and though he introduced himself with a little ribaldry, and a great deal of flattery inter- larded, yet when he came to ask a night’s lodging, he met with a peremptory refusal; he jestcd on the subject, said he believed she was in the right, for that it would scarcely be safe to trust him under the same roof with such a sweet and beautiful creature !— But all would not do: “ No, she would not consent to his staying there.” “ But are 6 yoti really goingto put me away tonight .7” “ Yes.” ",Indced, my dear girl, you must not be so unreasonable; I am come strait from New castle, where I have been purcliasing a fresh stock ofgoods, which are so heavy, that I cannot travel far with them, and as the peo- ple around are all of the poorer sort, I will rather make you a present of the finest shawl in my back before I go farther.” At the mentioning of the shawl, the picture of deliberation was portrayed in lively colours on Alice's face fora little; but her prudence overcame. “ No, she was but a servant, and had orders to harbour no person about the house, but such as came on business, nor these either, unless she was well acquainted with them.” “What the worse can you, or your master, or any one else be, of s=.ifier- ing me to tarry until the morning?” “I entrvat you do not insist, for here you cannot be.” “But, indeed, I am not able to carry my goods further to-night.” “ Then you must leave them, or get a horse to carry them away.” "Of all the sweet inflexible beings that ever were made,_you certainly are the chief. But I cannot blame you; your resolution is just and right. “Tell, well, since no better may be, I must leave them, and go search for lodgings myself somewhere else, for, fatigued as I am, it is as much as my life is worth to endeavour carrying them further." Alice was rather taken at her word, she wanted nothing to do with his goods: the man was displeased at her and might accuse her of stealing some of them ; but it was an alternative she had pro- posed, and against which she could start no plausible objection; so she consented, though with reluctance. ' “But the pack will be better out of your way," said he, " and safer, if you will be so kind as to lock it by in some room or closet.” She then led him into a low parlour, where he placed it care- fully on two chairs, and went his way, wish- ing Alice :1 good night. , When old Alice and the pack were left together in the large house by themselves, she felt a kind of undefined terror come. over her mind about it. “What can be in it.” said she to herself, “that makes it solteavy .7" “ Surely when the man carried it this length, he might have carried it further too. It is a confoundedly queer pack ; mi $0 fmd l°Qk at it once again, and see what I think is in it ; and suppose I should handle it all round, I may then, perhaps, have a good guess what is in it." ' _ Ame went cautiously and fearfulily into the parlour and opened a wall p1't‘SS—Sl1e wanted nothing in the press. Indeed. She 09' ver looked into it, for her eyes were fixed on the pack, and the longer she looked at it, she liked it the worse; and as to handling it, she would not have touc-lied it for all that it contained. She came again into the kitch- en and conversed with herself. She thought of the man's earnestness to leave it—-of its monstrous shape, and every circumstance connected with it. _ _ tons, and she was convinced in her own mind, that there-was so in the pack. in the mind of a womim-l barred them : They were all mysteri- NORWALK, 2 ca‘. i\Vj_I<JDI'lEfSDAY',_ l.'1,_f‘[_;i'i'N”[§ 3,**.s_g4o, ’ , yd ‘ Ei__ took anothersteady and sc_rutiniziiig._look.." of the pack." God of‘ mercy! ' She saw it moving, as visiblyjas slie._ever saw any thingin her life. Every,hai'_r on her head ‘stood u.p,right._ gEvei?y inch of flesh on-her body crept like a‘ - nest of pismires. “She ihasted into,tlie_kitchen as fast as she could, for her knees bent under the terror that had pverivhelméd the heart of poor Alice. She puffed out the candle, lighted it again, and, not being ableto find a candlestick, though a dozen stood on the shelf in the lore kitch- en, she set it in a iiraterjug, and ran out to the barn for‘_old Richard. “Oh, Richard! Oh, for mercy, Richard, make -haste, and come into the house. Come away Rich- ard.” “;-IV-hy, what is the matter‘, _Al-ice? what is wi‘ong.?” " Oh, Richard! a ‘pcdlar came into the hall entreating for lodging.——, Well, I would not let him stay on any ac.- cotint, and behold, lie- has gone off and left his pack.” in tliat?” said Richard. “I will wager a penny he will look after it ‘before it shall look after him.” “But, oh Richard, Itrcm: 'ble to tell you! TVs are all gone, for it is ii living pack.” “ Aliving pack l" said Rich- ard,staring at Alice, and letting his chops fall down. .Richard had just lifted his flail over his head to begin threshing a sheaf; but when he heard of a living back, he dropped one end of the hand staff to the floor, and leaning on the ,oth_ei'-, "took such a look at Alice. He knew long before that Alice was beautiful; he knew that ten years before, but he never took such a look at her in his life. “A living pack l” said Richard.-— “ \Vhy, the woman is mad without all doubt.” “ Oh, Richard! come away. Heaven knows what is in it! but I saw it riioving as plain- ly as I see you at present. .Make haste, and come away Richard.” Richard‘ did not stand to expostulate any longer, not even to put on his coat, but followed Alice into the house, assuring her by the way, that it was nothing btit a whim, andofa piece with ma ny of her phantasies. “ But,” added he, ‘ of all the foolish ideas that ever possessed your brain, this is the most unfeasible, unnatural, and impossible. How can a pack, made up ofnapkins, and muslins, and corduroy breech- es, perhaps, ever become alive ? It is even worse than to suppose ahorse’s hair will turn an eel.” So saying, he lifted, the can- dle otit ol the jug, and turning about, never stopped till he had his hand upon the pack. He felt the deals that surrounded its edges to prevent the goods being rumpled and spoiled by carrying, the cords that hound it, and the canvass in which it wasjwrapped. "The pack was well enough, he found nought a- botit it that other packs wanted. He saw nought that ailed it. And a good large pack it was. It would cost the honest tnan 2001., if not more.” Alice testified some lit- tle disappointment at seeing Richard uncon- vinced, even by occular demonstration. She wished she had never seen him or it, how-" somever, for she was convinced there was something. mysteriousabout it; that they were stolen good‘s.or"s’omething that way; and she was terrified to stay in the house with ‘ But Richard assured her the pack wzisa rig ht enough pack. During this conversation in comes Edward. He was a lad about I6 years old, son to a coal-driver on the bot'der—was possessed of agood deal of humour and ingenuity, but somewhat roguish, forward, and commonly very ragged‘ in his apparel. He was about this time wholly intent on shooting the crews and birds of various kindsthat alight- ed in whole flocks where he foddered the cattle. He had bought a huge old inillitary gtin, which he denominated Copenhagen, and was continually thundering away at them. He seldom killed any, if ever; but he once or twice knocked offa few leathers, and after much narrow inspection, discover- ed some drops of blood on the snow. He was at this very moment comein a great haste for Copenhagen, having seen a glori- ous chance of sparrows, and a Robin-red- breast among them, feeding on the site of a corn rick, but hearing them talk of some- thing mysterious, and a living pack, he pricked up his ears, and was all attention.--~ “ Faith Alice,” said he, “if you will let me, I'llshoot it.” “Hold yourpeace, you fool,” said Richard, Edward took the candle from Richard, who still held it in his hand, and gliding down the passage, edged up to the parlour door_,,_and watched the pack atten- tively for about two minutes. I-Iethen came back with a spring, and with looks very dif- ferent from those which regulated his fea- tures as helwent down.. As sure as be bad death to riieet with he saw it stirring.-- "Hold your peace you fool,” said Richard. Edward swore again that he saw it stirring; but whether he really thought so, or only said so, is hard to determine. “ Faith Alice,” said he again, “ if you will let me, I'll shoot it.” “I tell you to hold your peace you fool,” said Richard. “No," said Edward, “ in the multitude of counsellorsthere is safe- ty; and I will maintain this to be our safest plan. Orur inasterls house is consigned to our care, and‘ the wealth that it contains may tempt some people to use stratagems. Now, if we open this man's pack, he may pursue us for the damages to any amount, but if I shoot it, what amends can be got of me .7 If there is any thing that should not be there, Lord how I will pepper it! And if it is lawful goods, he can only make me pay for the few that are damaged, which I will get at valuation; so, if none of you will acqui- esce, I will take all the blame upon myself, and wars a upon it.” Richard said, niething uncanny. if ‘whatever ivas the consequence he would be blameless. A half delirious smile rather distorted than beautified Aliee’s pretty face, but’ Edward took it for an assent to what he had been a_d.vancing=, so snatching up Copen- -hagen in one hand, and -the candle in the ‘other, he hasted down the passage, and with- out h_esit_ating_ one moment, fired at_th,e pack. f “And what is the great matter jm Gracious I’-lea-ven l the blood gushed out up- on the floor’ likeja ‘to'rrent,"and "a- hideous roar, iolloived‘ by-‘the groans of death. issued floln the pack. Edward dropped Co]ie7i'}i_a— gen upon the ground, and rair’iato' the kitch- en like one distracted. _ The lciitclién was darlilshn I01’--the “had left the candle in the parlour,'so taking to the door without» be- ing able tg iittera word, he ran to the hills like a wild roe, looking over each shoulder as‘ fast as he'~coul'd- turn his heu’d'-from the "one side to the»other.' Alice ‘followcdias fist as she could, but lost"half‘the way of Edward. She was all the way sig-hingaiid, crying niest pitifully. ‘Old Richard stood for a short space rather in a state of petrifi- catioii, but at length, after some hasty ejacu- lations, he went into the piirlour. The whole floor was flowed with blood.» The pack harl thrown itself on the ground; -but the groans ‘and, cries were ceased, and only a kind of guttural noise was heard from it.-- Knowing‘ that then something must be done, he ran after his companions, and ea'lled‘on them to come back. Though Edward had escaped a good way, and was still persever- ing on,‘-yet as he never took long time to consider of the utility of any thing, btit act- ed from immediate impulse, he turned and came as fast back as he had gone away.— Alice also came liomeward, but more slow- ly, and;crying_ even more bitterly-‘than -be- fore. Edwardbvertook her,“and was liold- ing on his course; but as he passed, she. turncdfaway her face, and called him ‘a mur- de'i'er.1-., At thesound of this epithet Edward made it dead pause, and looked at Alice with ailface _niuch longer than it used to be.
