In the early time of the province of New York, while it groancd under the tyranny of the English governor, Lord Cornbuijy, who carried his crueities to- wards the Dutch inhabitants so far as to allow no dominie, or schoolmaster, to officiate in their language, without his special license; about this time, there livedinthe jolly little old city of the Manhattoes, a kind motherly dame, known by the name of Dame Heyliger. She was the widow of a Dutch sen. cap-- rain, who died suddenly of a fever, in consequence of working too hard", and eating too heartily, at the time when all the inhabitants turned out in a panic, to fortify the place against the invasion of asmall French privateer. He left her with very little money, and one infant son, the only survivor of several children. The good woman had need of much management to make both ends meet and keep up a decent appearance. How- ever, as her husband ha fallen a. victim to his zeal for the (public safety, it was universal] agree that ,“something ought to done for the widow;” and on the hopw of this “something" she lived tolerably for some years; in the meantime, everybody pit-ied and spoke well of her; and that helped along. _ She lived in a. small house, in a small street, called Garden street, very proba- bly from a. garden which may have flourished there some time or other. As her necessities every year grew greater, and the talk of the public about doing “something for her” grew less, she had to cast about for some mode of doing something for herself, by way of helping out her slender means, and maintaining her independence, of which She was somewhat tenacious. Living in a. mercantile town, she had caught something of the spirit, and de- termined to venture a. little in the eat lottery of commerce. On a 'su den, therefore, to the great surprise of the street, there appeared at her window a. grand arm of ' gerbread kings and queens, wit their arms stuck akimbo, after the invariable royal manner. There were also several broken tumblers, some filled with sugar plums, some with mar- bles; there were, moreover, cakes of various kinds, and barley sugar, and Holland dolls, and wooden horses, with here and there gilt covered picture books, and now and then a, skein of thread, or a. dangling pound of candles. At the door 0 the house eat the good old dame’s cat, a. decent demure looking ersonage, that seemed to scan every dy that passed, to criticise their dress, and now and'then to stretch .her neck, and look out with sudden curiosity, to see what was going on at the other end of the street; but if by ehance an idle vaga- bond dog came by, and o ered to be uncivil—hoifiy-toityi —— how she would bristle up, an growl, and spit, and strike out her paws! she was as indignant as over was an ancient and ugly spinster, on the approach of some graceless prof- li to. gut though the goOd woman had to come down to these humble means of subsistence, yet she still kept up a feel~ ing of family pride, having descended from the Vanderspiegels, of Amsterdam; and she had the family arms painted and framed, and hung over her mantelfiiece. She Was, in truth, much respected y all the poorer people of the place; her house was quite a resort ‘of the old wives of the neighborhood; they would drop in there of ,a winter’s afternoon, as she sat knitting on one side of her fireplace, her cat purring on the other, and the tea. ket- tle singin before it; and they would wi her until late in the evening. , ossi The): Wssslwsysanarm chair for Peter do Groodt, sometimes called Long Peter, and sometimes Peter Longlegs, the clerk and sexton of the little Lutheran church, who was her cat cron , and indeed the oracle of her fireside. a , the dominic himself'didnot disdain, now and then, to step in, converse, about the state of .1: hermmd,and leakei‘aiglass of her special cliérryfibrands Indeed, he never I" “_'ed'5"to call on cw Year’s day, and wish her a happy New Year; and the good dame,-who was a little vain on some points, always, piqued herself on givingshim ss‘large sea (5 as any one in t own.

Mo- era are '-fO'olish‘, fond hearted beings; there’s no reasonin them out of their dotage; and, indeed, t- ' poor woman’s child was all that waits left to love her in this world— so we must not think it hard that she turned atde car to her good friends, who sought to prove to her that Dolph Would come to a. halter. To do the varlet justice, too, he was strongly attached to his parent. He woul not willingly have given her ain on any account; and when he had een doing wrong, it was but for him to catch his poor mother’s eye fixed wistfull and sorrowfully upon him, to fill his cart with bitterness and contrition. But he was a heedless youngster, and could not, for the life of him, resist any new temp- tation to fun and mischief. Though uick at his leaning. whenever he could be brought to app] ' himself, vet he was al- ways prone to e led away by idle com- party, and would play truant to hunt after birds’ nests, to rob orchards, or to swimiu'the Hudson. Inlthls way KC; cw up, atall, lubberly boy;--—'nnd his mo er began to be greatly perplexed what to do with him, or how toputhim in'a wayto do for himself; for he had acquired such an unlucky reputation that no one seemed willing to amp 0y him. ~_ It on}! were the consultations that she held with Peter de Groodt, the clerk and sexton, who was her time counselor. Peter was as much pap exed as herself, for he had no great ,o mion of the boy, and thought 6 ‘ wo (1 never come to good. He at onetime advised her to send him to sea—a ' iece of advice only 'ven in the most esperate cases: but Dame Heyliger would not hstepdo‘such an idea; she could‘think of letting Dolph 0 out of her sight. She was sittmgpne y kniting 'by her fireside, in great 1'- plexity, when the Sexton entered Wit an air of unusual vivacity and briskness. He had just comes from a... funeral.

This, however-fit?- is, likelyrwas a mere scandal; at any rate, Peter de Croodt did not, think it worth mentionm ; th h had we time to philosophize, t wgdlfi be a curious matter for s ocula- fiou. whv a doctor’s familysqp £0,129 4- ,. with a gentle hand, but cavryin' abright idea that had popped into his head at the funeral, and over which he had the grave of the doctor’s disciple. It had occurred to him, that, as the situation of the deceased was vacant at the doctor's, it would be the very lace for Do] h. The boy had parts, an could poun .a pestle and run an errand With any boym the town—and what more was wantedin a student? , ‘, The suggestion of the sage Peter was a. vision of glory to the mother; She al- ready snw Dolph, in her mind’s eye, with a cane at his‘nose, a. knockcr at his door, and an' M. D. at the end of his name— ono of the established dignitaries of the town. The matter, once undertaken, was soon effected; the sexton. had some influence with the dOctor, they having had _much deniing' together in the way of ‘their sep- arate professions; and the very next morning.~he called and conducted the urchin, clad .in his Sunday clothes, to under 0 the inspection of Dr. Karl Lodo- vick Ignipperhnusen. They found the doctor seated in an elbow chair, in one comer of his starléeqr laboratory, with a large volume in - man print, before him. He was a. short, fat man, with a dark, square face, ren- dered more dark by a. black velvet cap. He had a little, knobbcd nose, not un- like the acc of spades, with a pair of s ctncles gleaming on each side of his rig-Sky countenance, like a couple of how windows. Dolph felt struck with awe, on cn’cer— ing into the presence of this learned man; and gazed - about him with boyish wonder at the furniture of this cham- ber of knowledge,- which appeared to him almost as the den of a. magician. In the center stood a. claw footed table, with pestle and mortar, phials and galli- pots, and a pair of small, burnished scales. At one end was a hen. clothes press, turned into a. yeceptaclc or drugs and com unds, against which hung the doctor’s at and clock and gold headed cane, and on the top grinned a human skull. Along the mantelpiece were glass vessels, in which were snakes and lizards, and a human foetus preserved in spirits. A closet, the doors 0 which were taken off, contained three whole shelves of books, and some, too, of mighty folio dimensions—u. collection the like of which Dolph had never before beheld. As, however, the library did not take up the whole of the closet, the doctor‘s thrifty housekeeper had occupied the rest with' ots of pickles and preserves, and had rung about the room, among awful implements of the healing art, strings of red pepper and cor ulcnt cu- cumbers, carefully preserved or seed. Peter de Crctodt and his prote C were received with great gravityan stateh- ness by the doctor, who was a. very wise, dignified little man, and never smiled. He surveyed Dolph from head to foot, above and under, and through his 5 etc- cles; and the cor lad’s heart qua' ed as these great gasses glared on him like two fullmoons. The doctor heard all that Peter de Groodt had to say in favor of the youthful candidate, and then, wetting his thumb with the end of his tongue, he began deliberately to turn over page after page of the great black volume before "him. At length, after many burns and bows, and strokin of the chin, and all that hesitation an de- liberation with which uwise mun pro- ceeds to do what he intended to do from the very first, the doctor agreed to take the lad as it disciple; to give him bed, The doctor agreed to take the lad as a disciple. board and clothing, and to instruct him in the healing art; in return for which he was to have his services until his twenty-first year. Behold, then, our hero all at once transformed from‘an unlucky urchin, rimming wild about the streets, to a stu- dent of medicine, diligently pounding a. Bristle under the auspices of. the learned .

The octor’s library was the talk and marvel ’ :the neighborhood, I might almost-say of‘ the entire burg. The go'od ' read three whole shelves full of books, and some of them, too, as large:- as a family Bible. There were man 's‘putes among the members of the, 'ttleLu: theran church’as to which was the’wis‘ei' man, the doctor or the dominie. Some of his admirers even went so far as to say that 11c knew more than the governor himself—in a word, it was thought that there was no end to his knowledge! No sooner was Dol h received into the doctor’s family than to was put in posses- sion of the lodging of his predecessor. It was a garret room of a. steep roofed Dutch house, where the rain patted on the shingles and the lightning glenmed and the wind piped through the crannies in stormy weather, and where whole troops of hungry rats, like Don Cossacks, gal- loped about in defiance of traps and ratsbane. He was soon up to his ears in mediml studies, being employed morning, noon and night in rolling pills, filtering tinc- tures or pounding the estle and mortar in one corner of the borator-y, while the doctor would take his seat in an- other corner when he had nothing else to do or expected visitors, and, arrayed in his morning gown and velvet cap, would re over the contents of some folio v0 sure. It is true that the regular thumping of Dolph’s pestle, or, perhaps, the drowsy buzzing of the summer flies, would now and then lull the little man intoaslumber; but then his spectacles were always Wide awake and studiously regarding the book. There was another rsonage in the house, however, to w om Dolph was obliged to pay allegiance. Though a bachelor, anda man of such great dignity and importance, yet the doctor was, like many other wise men, subject to tti- coat governmbnt. He was comp etely under the sway of his housekeeper; a spare, busy, fretting housewife, in a httle, round, quilted, German cap, with a. huge bunch of keys ‘in ling at the girdle of an exceeding y ong waist. Frau Ilse (or Frow Ilsy, as it was pro- nounced) had accompanied him in his t..various migrations from Germany to England, and from England to the province; managing his establishment and himself too; ruling him,'it is time}; 0. ug hand with all the world besi e. How she had acquired such ascendency I do not pretend to say. People it is true, did talk; but have not peo 1e been prone to talk ever since thcworl began? Who can tell how women generallytcontrive to get the upper hand A husband, it is true, may now and then be master in his own house: but whoever know; a bachelor 'be 33516 “9:016. migrant! or? 3 , peoplb looked with reverence at a man-thathad- that ”wasi‘ii'dt managed 'oy 1113 (house- keeper? ,. . - Indeed, Frau Ilsy’s power was not con- fined to the doctor’s household. She was one of those prying gossips that know every one’s business better than they do themselves; and whose all seeing eyes, and all telling tongues, are terrors throu bout a. neighborhood. sfiotiigfof any; mamcnt transpired in bewarl of scandal of this little burg, but it was known to Frau Ilsy. She had her crew of cronies, that were perpetu— ally hurrying to her little parlor with some precious bit of news; nay, she would sometimes discuss a whole volume of secret history as she held the street door ajnr and gossipcd with one of these girrulous cronies in the very teeth of n ecember blast. Between the doctor and the house- keeper it may easily be supposed that Dolph had a. busy ife of it. AS Frau Ilsy kept the keys, and literally ruled the roast, it was starvation to offend her, though he found the study of her temper more perplexing even than that of medi- cme. she kept him running hither and thither on her errands; and on Sundays lie was obliged to accompany her to and from church, and carry her Bible. Mnny'a time has the poor varlet stood shivering and blowing his fingers, or holding his frostbitten nose, in the church yard, while Ilsy and her cronies were huddled together, wagging their heads and tear— in some unlucky character to pieces. ith all his advantages; however, .Dolph made very slow progress in his art. This was no fault of the doctor‘s, certainly, for he took unweai‘icd pains with‘thc lad, keeping him-close 'to the pestle and mortar, or on the trot about town with phials and pill boxes; and if was rather apt to do, the doctor would fly into a passion and ask him if he ever expected to learn his profession unless he applied himself closer to the study. The fact is, he still’retained the fondness for sport and mischief that had marked ’his childhood? the habit, indeed, had strengthened with his years and gained force from being thwarted and' con- strained. He daily grew more and more untractable, and lost favorinthe oycs waxing wealthy and renowned. Hewas not laid down in the books. Hue had cured several old women and young girls of witchcraft; :1. terrible com laint, nearly as prevalent in the provmcein those days as hydrophobia is at present. He had even restored one strapping country girl to perfect health who had gone so far as to vomit crooked ins and needles; which is considered a. esperate stage of the malady. ' It was Whispered, also, that ho was possessedof the art of preparing lovo owders, and many ap- lications had 10 in consequence from ove sick patients of both sexes. But all these cases formed the mysterious part of his practice, in which, according to the cunt,‘ hrase, “secrecy and honor might be opended on.” Dolph, there- fore, was, 0 liged to turn out of the study whenever such consultations oc- curred, th‘oughvit is said he learhccl more of the secrets of the art at the keyhole than by all the rest of his studies put to- gether. As the doctor increased in wealth he began to extend his possessions and to the time when he should retire to the re- ose of a. country sea .. For this purpose 9 had pm-chased- a. farm, or, as the Dutch settlers called it, a bowerie, so few miles from town. It had been the resi- dence of a wealthy family, that had re- turned some time since to Holland. A large mansion house stood in the center of it, very much out of repair, and which. in cons uence or certain re orts, had re.- ceived t e appellation of t e Haunted House. Either from these reports, or from its actual dreariness, the doctor had found it impossible to get a. tenant; and, that the place might not fail to ruin be- had placed a country boor, with his family, in one wing, with the privilege of cultivating the farm on Shares. The doctor now felt all the dignity of a. landholder rising within him. He had a. little of the German pride of territory in his com osition, and almost looked it n himse as owner of a principality. e began to complain of the fatigue of business, and was fond of riding out “to look at his estate.” His little expeditions to his lands were attended with to hustle and parade that created a sensation throughout the neighborhood. His wall eyed horsestood, stamping and whisking off the flies, for a full hour before the house. Then the doctor’s saddle bags would be brought out and adjusted; then, after a little while, his cloak would be rolled up and strap ed to the saddle; then his umbrella wo cl be buckled to- the coat; while,‘in the meantime, a group of ragged boys, that observant .class of beings, would gather before the door. At length the doctor would issue forth, inn pair of jack boots that reached above , his knees, and a cooked hat fla ped down in front. Ashe was a. short, at man he took some time to mount into the saddle; and when there, he took some time to have the saddle and stirrups protperl adjusted, enjoying the won er an ad): miration of the urchin crowd. Even af- be? he had set off, he‘Would ause‘in the middle of the street, or trot ack two or three times to give some parting orders, which were answered by t e housekee er from the door, or Dolph from the stu y, or the black cookfrom= the' cellar, or the chambermaid 'from' the garnet window; and there were generally some last words .bawled after him just as he was turning the corner, ' The whole neighborhood would be , amused b this pomp: and circumStance. The cobb er would leave his last, the barber would thrust out his frizzed head, with a comb sticking in” it, a knot would collect at the grocer’s door, and the word would be buzzed from one end of the street to the other, “The doctor's riding out to his country seat!” These were golden moments for Dolph. No sooner was the doctor out of sight than 1e and mortar were abandoned, the in ratory was left to take care of .. itself, and the student was off on some "madcap frolic. ,. Indeed, it must be confessed, the youngster, as he grew up, seemed in a. fair way to fulfill the prediction of the old claret colored tleman. He was the tin leaderof holiday sports and mid~ pig t gambols, ready for all kinds of *rnischievous pranks and harebrained atl- " ventures. There is nothing so troublesome as a. hero on a. small scale, or, rather, a. hero in a small town. Dolph soon became the j abhorrence of all drowsy, housekee ing ‘ old citizens, who hated noise and ha no relish for waggery. The good dames, too, considered him as little better than a reprobate, gathered their daughters under their wings whenever be ap- roached, and pointed him out as a. warn- ing to their sons. NO one seemed to hold him in much regard, excepting the wild striplings of the p1ace,,who were capti- vated by his open hearted, daring man- ners, and the negroes, who always look upon every idle, do-nothing yotmgster as a kind of gentleman. Even the good Peter de Groodt;, who had considered himself a. kind of atron of the lad, be- gan to despair of im and would shake his head dubiously as he listened to a. long complaint from the housekeeper, and sipped a glass of her raspberry brandy. . Still his mother was not to be wearied out of her affection by all the wayward- ‘ness of her boy, nor disheartened by the stories of his misdeeds with which her Eoodff’iends were continually regaling er. She had, it is true, very little of the pleasure which rich people enjoy, in always hearing their children praised; but she considered all this illwill as a kind of ersecution which he suffered, and she ' ed him the better on that ac- count. Shc saw him growing up afine, tall, cod looking youngster, and she looke at him with the secret pride of a mother's heart. It was her. great desire that Dolph should appear like a. entic- man, and all the money she coult save went towards be] ing out his pocket and his wardrobe. S ewould look out of the window after him as he sallied forth in his best array, and her heart would yearn with delight; and once, when Peter de Groodt, struck with the youngsters gal- lant appearance on' a right Sunda morning, observed, “Well, after al , Dolph does grow a. comely fellow!” the tear of pride started into the mother’s e e. “Ah, neighbor! neighbor!” or:- claimed she, “they may so what they lease; poor Dolph will yet old up his band With the best of them.” D01 11 Heyliger had now nearly at- tain his one-and-twentieth year, and the term of his medical studies was just ex iring, yet it must be confessed that he ' ew little more of the rofes- sion than when he first entered t to doc- tor’s doors. This, however, could not be from want of quickness of parts, for: he showed amazing aptness in mastering other branches of knowledge, which he souldonlvlh'if’é shtdifletipiermls Es When not busy in the laboratory . he ever flagged in his industry, which he ' both of the doctor and tho housekeeper. '- Iu the meantime the doctor went on ‘ famous for his skill in managi‘ntr cases - look forward, like other great men,:to 3' ,joy of. .- your s’barg‘oinf and fore he could reside in it himself, he‘ wasffor instance, name marksman, and won all the geesoand turkeys at Christ- mas holidays. Ho was a. bold rider; he was famous for leaping and wrestlin ; he pin ed tolerably onvthe fiddle; c fld swim ike a fish; andwas the best'hmd in the whole place at fives or ninepins. All these accomplishments, however, procured him no favor in the eyes of the doctor, who grew more and more crabbed and intolerant the nearer the term of a - prenticeship approached. ’ Frau Ilsy, too, was forever finding some occasion to raise a windy tempest about his ears; and seldom encountered him about the house without a clutter of the tongue; so that at length the jingling of her keys, as she approached, was to Dolph like the ringing of the prompter’s hell, that gives notice of a theatrical thunder storm. Nothing but tho infinite good humor of the heedless youngster enabled him to bear all this domestic-_,j-ty1:anny ,‘vttithout Opcu rebellion: plt was cyidentthpt the doctor ah'd his h'ous‘ekceper were prepar- ing to beat the poor youth out of the nest the moment his term should- have expired; o‘ shorthand mode which the docltor had of providing for useless dis- crp es. Indeed, the little man had been ren- dered more than usually irritable lately . In consequence of various cares and vex- _ ntions which his country estate had brought upon him. The doctor had been: re eatedly annoyed by the rumors and 3 to es which prevailed concerning the old mansion, and found it difiicult to prevail even upon the countryman and his fam- ily to remain there rent free. Every time he rode out to the form he Was teased by some fresh complaint of strange noises and fearful sights With which the tenants were disturbed at night, and the doctor would come home fretting and fuming, and vent his spleen upon the whole household. It was in- deed a sore grievance, that affected him both in prids and urse. He was threat- ened with an abso ute loss of the profits of his property; and then, what a. blow to his territorial consequence to be the landlord of a haunted house! It was observed, however, that with all his vexation the docto'r never proposed to sleep in the house himself; nay, he could never belprevailed upon to remain in the premises after dark, but made the best of his way for town as soon as the bats began to flit about in the twilight. The fact was, the doctor had a secretbe- f lief in ghost'sflhp‘yjpg spasm the early part of his life in a coun, ', where they particularly : labdflntl‘; ' _ A’ indeed the story went that when arboyihe had once seen the devil upon the Hertz mountains in Germany. _ At length the "doctor’s vexations on this head were brought to a crisis. One morning, as he sat dozing oVer a volume in his study, he was suddenly started from his situnbers by the bustling in Of the housekee . ,. n . , .. “Here’s a. etado!” cried she as she entered the room;-._s-."Here’s Claus Hop- or come in, bag and baggage, from the arm, and swearshé’ll have nothing more to do with it. The whole family have been frightened out of their wits; for there’s such rocketing and rumma ing about the old house that they can’t s eep quiet in their beds ” ‘ “Donner und blitzenl” cried the doctor impatiently; “will they never have done chattering about that house? What a pack of fools, to let a few rats and mice frighten them out of good uartersl” "Nay, nay,” said the nousekceper, wagging her head knowingly, and piqued athuvinga good ghost story doubted, “there’s more in it than rats and mice. All the neighborhood talks about the house, and then such sights have been seen in it! Peter de Groodt tells me that the family that sold you the house and went to Holland dropped several strange hints about it, andgspid ‘they wished you , you know ourself-tliere’s notgetting any family to ivc in it.” “Peter dechqofit’s a ninny—an old woman,” said the doctorpeevishly. “I’ll warrant he’s been filling these ple’s heads full of stories. Itfs , 'ust ike his nonsense about the ghost t, 'at halmted the church belfry as an excuse for not ringing the hell that" cold ‘xiight when Han-mantis Brinkerhofi’s house was on fire. Send Claus to me.” ' ' Claus Hopper now. moAcdhis appear- ance-a. simple country lout, full of awe at finding himself in the very study of Dr. Knipperhausen, and too much em- barrassed to enter into much detail of the matters that had caused his alarm. He stood twirling his hat in one hand, resting sometimes on one leg, some- times on the other, looking occa- sionally at the doctor, and now and then stealing a fearful glance at the death’s head that seemed ogliug him from the top of the clothes ress. The docton his every means to er- suadc him to return to the farm, ut all in vain; he maintained a. dogged determination on the subject; and at the close of every argument or solicitation, would make the same brief, inflexible re 1y, “Ich kan nicht, myn- heer.” The octor was a “little t, and soon hot;” his patience was e u by these continual vexations about his estate. The stubborn refusal of Claus Hopper seemed to him like flat rebellion- his temper suddenly boiled over, an Claus was glad to make a rapid retreat to escape scalding. When the bumpkin got to the house- keeper's room, he found Peter de Groodt and several other true believers ready to receive him. Here he indemnified himself for the restraint he had suffered in the study, and opened a budget of stories about the haunted house that astonished all his hearers. The housekeeper be- lieved them all, if it was only to spite the doctor for having received her intel- ligence so uncourteously. Peter de Groodt; matched them with many a wonderful legend of the times of the Dutch dynasty, and of the devil’s step- ping stones; and of the pirate that was staged at Gibbet Island, and continued to swing there at night long after the gallows was taken down; and of the ghost of the unfortimate Governor Leis- ler, who was hanged for treason, which haunted the old fort and the government house. The gossiping knot dispersed, each charged with direful intelligence. The sexton disburdened himself at a. vestry meeting that was held that very day, and the black cook forsook her kitchen, and spent half the day at the street pump, that gossiping place of ser- vants, dealing fort the news to all that came for water. Inalittlo time the whole town was in a. buzz with tales about the haunted house. Some said that Claus Hopper had seen the devil, while others hinted that the house was haunted by the ghosts of some of the patients whom the doctor had physickcd out of the world, and that was the reason why he did not venture to live in it himself. All this put the little doctor in a ter~ riblc fume. Ho threatened vengeance on any one who should affect the value of his proppr'ty by exciting p0 ular re- judices. ocomplained loud y of t us being in a manner dispossessed of his territories by more bugbears; but he secretly determined to have the house exorcised» by the dominie. Great was his relief, therefore, when, in the midst of his perplexities, Dolph stepped for— ward and undertook to garrison the .haunted house. The youngster had been listening to all the stories of Claus Hop- per and Peter do Groodt; he was fond of adventure, he loved the marvelous, and his imagination had become quite ex- cited by these tales of wonder. Besides, he had led such an uncomfortable life at the doctor’s, being subjected to the in- tolerable thralldom of early hours, that he was delighted at the prospect of having a house to himself, even though it should be a. haunted one._ His offer was eagerly accepted, and it was de- termined that he should mount guard that very night. His only stipulation was, that; the enterprise should be kept secret from his mother; for he knew the poor soul would not sleep a. wink if she 'new that her son was waging war with the powers of darkness. When night came on, he set out on this perilous expedition. The old black cook, his only friend in the household, had provided him with a. little mess for supper, and a l‘uslilight; and she tied round his neck an amulet, given her by an Africanconjurer, as a charm against evil spirits. Dolph was escorted on his way by the doctor and Peter de Groodt, who had agreed to accompany him to the house and to see him safe lodged. The night was overcast, and it was very dark when they arrived at the grounds which surrounded the mansion. The sexton led the way with o. lantern. As they walked along the avenue of scraping. the fitful light, catching from bush to bush, and tree to tree, often startled the doughty Peter, and made him fall back upon his followers; and the doctor grabbed still closer hold of Dolph’s arm, observing that the ground was very slippery and uneven. At one time they were nearly put to a. total rent by a. but which came flittin about the lantern; and the notes of t e insects from the trees, and the frogs from a neighborin pond, formed a most drowsy ant dolefu concert. 7 __ ,_ The front door or the mansion opened with a. grating sound, that made the doctor turn ale. They entered a. toler- ably large tall, such as is common ‘in American country houses, and which serves as a. sitting room in-warm weather. From hence theywent-up a wide stair- case, thnt groaned and crooked as they trod, every step making its particular note, like the key of a. harpischo'rd. This led to another hall on the second story, from whence they entered the room where Dolph was to slee . It was large and scanti y'furnished; e shutters were closed, but as they were much] broken there was no want of a circulation of air. It appeared to have been ._.that sacred chamber known among Dutch housewives by the name of “the best bedroom,” which is the best furnished room in the house, but in which scarce anybody is ever permitted to sleep. Its splendor, however, was all at an_ end. There were a few broken articles of furniture about the room, and in the center stood a heavy deal table and a large arm chair, both. of which had the look'of being coeval with the mansion. The fireplace was wide, and had been faced with Dutch tiles, representm Scripture sto ’ 3 but some of them'h fallen out of eir cos, sextouhadlit the rush light; and the doctor, looking fear-fully about the room, was Just exhorting Do phtobo of good cheer, and to pluck up 8 stbut heart, when a noise in the chimney,‘like voices nnd struggling, struck a sudden 'c mtothe sew Hg; k. to his Iieels ' with the lantern; . doctor followed hard after him; the stairs groa-ned and creaked as they hurried down, increasing k their agitation and speed by its noises. The front door slammed after them; and Dolph heard them scrabbling down the avenue, till the sound of their feet was lost in the distance. That he did not bum in this precipitate retreat, might ve been owm to his possessing a little more courage titan his companions, or perhaps that he had caught a. glimpse of 3 the cause of their dismay, in a nest of chimney swallows, that came tumbling . down into the fire place. ' Bemg now left to himself, be secured the front door by a strong bolt and bar; and having seen that the other; entrances were fastened, he returned to his desolate \ chamber. Having made his supper from . the basket which the cod old cook had provided, he looked e chamber door and retired to rest on a. mattress in one corner. The night was‘calm and still; and nothing broke upon the profound quiet but the lonely chirping of a. cricket - from the chimn' e of a distant chamber. The rush ' ht, w ich stood in the center of theudea table, shed a. feeble yellow ray, dimly illumining the chamber, and. makm uncouth sha es and shadows on the we , from the c othes which Dolph had thrown over a chair. With all his boldness of heart, there was something subduing in this desolate scene; and he felt his spirits flag within him as he lay on his hard bed and gazed about the room. He was turning over in his mind his idle habits, his doubtful prospects, and now and then heaving n eavy sigh, as he thought on his or old mother; for there is nothing ike the silence and loneliness of night to bring dark shadows over the brightest mind. By and by, he thought he heard a sound as if some one was walking below stairs. He listened, and distinctly heard a step on the great stair case. It ap- proached solemnly and slowly, tramp— tramp—trampl It was evident y the trend of some heavy personage; and yet; how could he have got into the house without makings. noise? He had examined all the fastenings, and was certain that every entrance was secure. Still 'the steps advanced, tramp—tramp—tram i It was evident that the person approac , ing could not be arobber—the step was too loud and deliberate; a robber would either be stealthy or preci itate. And now the footsteps had ascen ed the stair- case; they were slowl advancing along the passage, resoun ' 3 through the silent and empty apartments. The very cricket had ceased its melancholy note, and nothing interrupted their awful dis- tinctness. The door, which had been locked on the inside, slowly swung open, as if self moved. The footsteps entered the room; but no one was to be seen. They passed slowly and audibly across it, tramp—tramp—trampi but whatever made the sound was invisible. Dolph rubbed his eyes and-stared about him; he could see to every part of the dimly lighted chamber; all was vacant; yet still he heard those mysterious footsteps, solemnly walking about the chamber. They ceased, and all was dead silence. There was something more a pulling in this invisible visitation than t ere would have been in anything that addressed it- self to the e esight. It was awfully vague and in eflmte. He felt his heart beat against his ribs; 9. cold sweat broke out upon his forehead; he lay for some time in a state of violent agitation; noth- ing, however, occurred to increase his alarm. His light gradually burnt down into the socket, on he fell asleep. When he awoke it was broad daylight; the sun woodpeerlng through the cracks of the win ow shutters, and the birds were merrily singing about the house. The bright, cheery day soon put to flight all the terrors of the preceding night. Dolph laughed, or rather tried to laugh, at all that had passed, and endeavored to l_'r suade himself that it was a more of the imagination, con'ured up by the stories he had heard; at he was a little uzzled to find the door of his room ockcd on the inside, notwithstanding that he had positively seen it swin open as the footsteps had entered. e re- turned to town in a state of considerable pe laxity; but he determined to say not ‘ g on the subject, until his doubts Were either confirmed or removed by another night’s watching. His silence was a grievous disappointment to the gossips who had gathered at the doctor‘s mansion. They had prepared their minds to hear direful tales; and they were al- most in a. rage at being assured that ho had nothing to relate. The next night, then, D01 h repeated his vigil. He now entere the house with some trepidation. He was panic- ular in examining the fastenings of all the doors, and securing them well. He looked the door of his chamber, and lacedachair against it; then, havin is atched his sup r, he threw himse on ' mattress an endeavored to sleep. It was all in vain—a thousand crowding fancies kept him waking. The time slowly dragged on, as if minutes were finnnm' out themselves into hours. 5 the night advanced he grew more and more nervous; and he almost started from his couch when he heard the mys- terious footstep again on the staircase. Up it came. as before, solemnly and slow] , tramp—tramp—trampl It ap- proac ed along the passage; the door again swun open, asxf there had been neither loo nor impediment, and a. strange looking figure stalked into the room. It was an elderly man. large and .uoust, clothed in the old Flemish fashion. He had on a kind of short cloak. witha garment under it, belted round the waist; trunk hose, with great bunches or bows at the knees; and a pair of russet boots, very large at top, and standing widely from his legs. I-lis hat was broad and slouched, with a feather trailing over one side. His iron gray hair hung in thick masses on his neck, and he had a. short grizzled board. He walked slowly round the room as if ex- amining that all was safe, then, hanging his hat on a pe beside the door, he sat down in the e bow chair, and, leaning his elbow on the table, be fixed his eyes on Dolph with an unmoving and deaden- ing stare.
