Bv WASHINGTON IRVING.
Tint-n cit-camped by the water side
some of the party would go into the
woods and hunt, others would fish—
nometirucs they would amuse themselves
by shooting at a mark, by leaping, by
running, by wrestling, and Dolph gained
great: favor in the eyes of Antony Vandcr
lieydcn by his skill and adroitucss in all
these exercises, which the Hoot-consid-
crcd as the highest of manly accomplish-
. merits.
Thus did they coast jollily on, choos-
iur; only the pleasant- hours for voyag-
ing; sometimes in the cool morning
down, sometimes in the sober evening
twilight, and sometimes when the moon-
shine Spangled the crisp curling waves
that whis )ercd alon the sides of their
little bark. Never rad Dolph felt so
completely in his element; never had he
met with anything so completely to his
taste- as this wild haphazard life. He
was the very man to second Antony
Vandcr Heyden in his rambling burners,
and gained continually on his affections.
The heart of the old bushwhacker yearned
- toward the young man, who seemed thus
growing up in his own likeness; and as
they approached to the end of their voy-
age, he could not help inquiring a little
into his history. D01 )11 frankly told him
his course of life, his severe medical
studies, his little proficiency and his
very dubious prospects. The floor was
shocked to find that; such amazing talv"
cuts and accomplishments were to bo
cramped and buried under a doctor’s
wig. He had a sovereign coutemptfor
the healingfart, having never had any
other physician than the butcher. Ilo
bore a. mortal grudge to all kinds of
study also, ever since he had been flogged
about on unintelligible book when he
was a boy. But to think that a young
fellow like Dolph, of such wonderfu
abilities, who could shoot, fish, run
jump, ride and wrestle should be obligec
to roll pills and administer jule s for a.
living—Twas monstrous! He to! Dolph
never to despair, but to “throw physio to
tho dogsf’ for a young fellow of his
prodigious talents could never fail to
make his way. “As you seem to have
no acquaintance in Albany,” said Heer
Antony, “you shall go home with me,
and remain under my roof until you can
look about you, and in the meantime we
can take an occasional bout at; shooting
and fiéhing. for it is a pity such talents
should lie idlc.”
Dolph, who was at the mercy of chance.
was not hard to be persuaded. Indeed,
on turning over matters in his mind,
which he did very sagely and deliber-
ately. he could not but think that An-
tony Vandcr I-Icydcn was, “somehow or
other,” connected with the story of the
Haunted House; that the misadventure
in the highlands, which had thrown
them so strangely together, was, “some-
how or other,” to work out; omething
good; in short, there is nothin I so con-
venient as this “somehow or ot rev” way
of accommodating one's self to circum-
stanccs; it- is the mainstay of a hecdlcss
actor. and tardy rcasoucr, like Dolph
Hcyligcr, and he who can, in this loose,
easy way, link foregone evil to antici-
pated good, possesses a secret of happi-
ncsu almost equal to tho philoaophcr‘s
stone.
On their indignant Albany, the sight
of Dolph's comp. 'on seemed to cause
universal satisfaction. Many were the
greetings at the. river side and the salu-
tations in the streets; the dogs bounded
before him. the boys whoo )ed as he
passed, everybody; seemed to ’ ow An-
tony Vander Hey-den. Dolph followed
on in silence, admiring the neatncss of
this worthy burg; for in those days Al-
bany was in all its glory, and inhabited
nhnost exclusively by the descendants of
the original Dutch settlers, for it had not
as yet been discovered and colonized b
the restless people of New Englan
Everything was quiet and orderly. every-
thing was conducted calmly and lets
urcly. no hurry .' no bustle. no struggling
and scrambling for existence. The grass
grew about the unpaved streets and ro-
lieved the eye by its refreshing verdurc.
The tall Sui-cameres or endant willows
shaded the houses, wrtb ratcrpillars
swinging by long silken strings from
their branches or moths fluttering about
like coxeomhs in joy at their ga y trans
formation The houses were built in tho
old lluteh style, with the gable ends
towards the street. The thrifty house-
wife was seated on a bench before her
door. in close crimped cap. bright flow-
ered own and white It iron. busily em-
ploye in knitting. The iusband smoked
iis pipe on the opposite bench. and the
little pet negro girl, seated on the step
at her mistress' feet, was industrionsly
plying her needle. The swallows sported
about the eaves or skimmed along the
streets and brou ht back some rich
booty for their camorous young, and
the little housekeeping wren flew in an
out of a Liliputian house or an old hat
nailed against the wall. The cows were
coming home, lowing through the
streets, to be milked at their owner’s
door: and if. pet-chance, there were any
loitercrs. some ncgro urchin with a long
good was gently urging them home-
wards.
As Dolph's companion passed on he re-
ceived a tranquil nod from the burgers,
and a friendly word from their wives,
all calling him familiarly bytlie name of
Antony: for it was the custom in this
stronghold of the patriarchs. where the
had all grown up together from chil -
hood, to call every one by the Christian
name. The floor did not pause to have
his usual jokes with them, for he was
impatient to reach his home. At length
they arrived at his mansion. It: was of
some magnitude. in the Dutch style, with
large iron figures on the gables that. gave
the date of its erection and showed" that;
it had been built. in the earliest times ‘of
the settlement.
The newa of Beer Antony’s arrival had
preceded him. and the whole household
was on the lookout. A crew of negr‘oes,
large and small, had collected in front of
the house to receive him. The old, white
headed ones. who had grown gray in his
service. grinned for (joy and made many
awkward bows an grimaces, and the
little ones capered about his knees. But
the most happy being in the household
was a little, plum , blooming lass. his
only child and the arling of his hen .
She came bounding out. of the house, but
the sight of a strange young man with
her father called up. for a moment, all
the bashfulness of a homebred damsel.
Dolph gazed at her, with wonder and de-
light; never had be seen. as he thought,
anything so comely in the shape of
woman. She was dressed in the good
old Dutch taste. with long stays and full,
short petticoats, so admirably adapted to
show and set off the female form. Her
hair, turned 11 under a small round cap.
displayed the airness of her forehead;
she had fine, blue, laughing e es. a trim,
slender waist, and soft swel -—but. in a
word, she was a little Dutch divinity,
and Dolph, who never stopped half way
in a new impulse, fell desperately in love
with her.
Dolph was now ushered into the house
with a hearty welcome. In the interior
was a mingled display of Beer Antony’s
taste and habits and of the opulence of
his rcdecessors. The chambers were
furnished with good old mahogany, the
beaufets and cupboards slittcrcd with
embossed silver and painte china. Over
the parlor fireplace was, as usual, the
family coat of arms, 'nted and framed,
above which was a ong duck fowling
piece, flanked by in Indian pouch and a
powder born. The room was decorated
with many Indian arficlcs. such as pipes
of peace, tomnhawks. scalping knives,
hunting pouches and bolts of wampum;
and there were various kinds of fishing
tackle and two or three fowling pieces in
the corners. The household affairs seemed
to be conducted, in some measure. after
the master‘s humors, corrected. perhaps,
by a little quiet management of tho
daughter's. There was a degree of patri-
archal simplicity and good humored
indulgence. The negrocs came into the
room without being called, merely to
look at their master and hear of his ad-
ventures: the would stand listening at
the door unti he had finished a story,
and then go off on a broad grin to repeat
it in the kitchen. A couple of pet negro
children were pla ing about the floor
with the dogs, andy sharin with them
their bread and butter. A the domes
tics looked hearty and 'happynand when .
the table was set for the evemng repast.
the variety and abundance of good house-
hold luxuries bore testimony to the open
handed liberali of the Beer and the
notable house ' cry of his daughtcr.
1n the evening there dropped in sev-
eral of the worthies of the place—the
Van Rennsellaers and the Gansevoorts
and the Resebooms and others of Antony
Vander Hayden’s intimates, to hear an
account of his expedition; for he was the
Sindbad of Albany. and his cxplorts and
adventures were favorite topics of con- ,
negating amassing flamingos While i mgnitmrgeafmnmm. width .,

Helm already got on intimate terms,
for those were not times of false reserve
and idle ceremony; and. besides, there is
something wonderfully pro itious to a
lover's suit in the delightf dusk of a
long summer evening: it gives courage
to the most timid tongue and hides the
blushes of the bashful. The stars alono
twinkled brightly, and now and then a. 5
firefly streamed his transient light before -
the window. or, wandering into the room,
flew gleaming about. the ceiling.
What Dolph whispered.
What: Dolph whispered in her ear that
long summer evening it is impossible to
say; his words were so low and indistinct
that they never reached the ear of the
historian. It is probable, however, that:
they were to the purpose, for he had a.
natural talent at pleasing the sex,’ and
was never long in company with a petti-
coat without paying proper court. to It.
In the meantime the visitors one byone.
departed; Antony Vander Heyden, \vho»
had fairly talked himself silent, sat nod-
ding alone in his chair by the door when
he was suddenly aroused by a hearty
salute with which Dolph Hcyliger had
unguardedly rounded off one of his
riods, and which echoed through the
still chamber like the report of a pistol.
The Herr started up, rubbed his eyes,
called for lights. and observed that it
Was high time to go to bed; thou h, on
rting for the night, he s ueezed olph
teartily by the hand, loo 'ed kindly in
his face, and shook his head knowingly;
for the Heer well remembered what he
himself had been at the youngstcr‘s age.
The chamlztr in which our hero was
lodged was spacious, and paneled with
oak. It was furnished with clothes
presses and mighty chests of drawers,
well waxed and glittering with brass
'omamcnts. 'l'lrcse contained ample stock
of family burn, for the Dutcr house-
wives had always a laudable pride in
showmg off their household treasures to
strangers.
Dolph‘s mind, however, was too full to
take particular note of the objects
around him: yet. he could not help con-
tinually comparing the free, open
hearted cheeriness of this establishment;
with the starvcling. sordid, joylcss
housekeeping at Dr. Knipperhousen's.
Still there was somethingthat marred
the enjoyment—the idea that he must
take leave of his hearty host and prett
hostess and cast himself once more adri l;
upon the world. To linger here would
be folly: he should only get deeper in
love; and for a poor var-let like himself
to aspire to the daughter of the great
Hcer Vandcr Heyden—it was madness to
think of such a thing. The very kind-_
ness that the girl had shown towards him
prompted him, on reflection. to hasten
's departure: it would be a 001‘ return
for the frank hospitality of llS hOst to
entangle his daughter‘s bean in an
judicious attachment. In a word, Dolph
was like many other young rcnsoners, of
exceedin good hearts and giddy heads,
who thin after they act, and not differ-
ently from what they think: who make
excellent determinations over night. and
forget to keep them the next morning.
“This is a fine conclusion, truly, of
my voyage," said he, as he almost buried
himself in a sumptuous feather bed, and
drew the fresh white sheets up to his
chin. “Here am 1. instead of finding a
bag of money to carry home, launched
in a strange place. with scarcely a stiver
in his )ockct. and what is worse, have
jumpc ashore up to my cars in love into
the bargain. However,“ added be, after
some pause, stretching himself and tin-n-
ing himself in bed. “I‘m in good quarters
for the present. at least; so I'll e‘en
enjoy the present moment and let the
next take care of itself; I dare say all
will work out, ‘somchow or other, for
the best."
As he‘ said these words he reached out
his hand to extinguish the candle, when
he was suddenly struck with astonish-
ment and dismay, for he thought he
beheld the phantom of the haunted
house starin on him from a dusky part
of the cham er. A second look reassured
him. as be perceived that what he had
taken for the specter was, in fact,
nothing but a Flemish portrait that hung
in a shadowy corner just behind a clothes
press. It was, however, the precise
representation of his night! visitor—the
some cloak and belted jerl/vzin. the same
grizzled beard and fixed eye, the same
broad, slouched hat, with a feather hang-
ing over one side. Dolph now called to
mind the resemblance he had frequently _
remarked between his host and the old
man of the haunted house: and was fully
convinced that they were in some way
connected. and that some especial destiny
had governed his voyage. He lay gaz-
ing on the portrait with almost as much
awe as he had gazed on the ghostl
original, until the shrill house 0100 '
warned him of the lateness of the . hour.
He put out the light. but remained for a
long time turnin over these curious
circumstances an coincidences in his
mind, until he fell asleep. His dreams
panook of the nature of his waking
thoughts. He fancied that he still lay
ing on the picture. until. by degrees,
It became animated: that the figure de-
scended from the Will and walked out
of the room; that he followed it. and
found himself b the well. to which the
old man pointe , smiled on him. and
disappeared. -
In the morning when Dolph waked he
. found his host standing by his bedside,
who gave him a hearty morning's salu-
tation and asked him how he had slept.
Dolph answered checrily, but took occur
sion to inquire about the portrait that.
hung against the wall. “Ah," said Heer
Antony, “that‘s a portrait of old Killian
Vander-Spiegcl, once a. burgomastcr of
Amsterdam, who, on some popular
troubles, abandoned Holland and came
over to the province during the govern-
ment of Peter Stuyvesant. He was my
ancestor by the mother's side. and an
old miserly curmudgeon he was. When
the English took possession of New Am-
sterdam in 1604 he retired into the
country. He fell into a melancholy,
apprehending that his wealth would be
taken from him and that he would come
to beggary. He turned all his property
into cash. and used to hide it. away. He
was for a year or two concealed in
various places, fancying himself sought
after by the English, to strip him of is
wealth; and finally was found dead in
his bed one morning, without on one
being able to discover where be hot con-
cealed the greater part of his money.” ,
When his host had left the room,
Dolph remained for some time lostin
thought. His whole mind was occupied -
by W int he had heard. Vander Spiegel
was his mother‘s family name: and ho
recollected to have heard her speak of
this very Killian Vander Spiegel as ,one
of heraucestors. He had heard her say,
too. that her f other was Killian’s right-
ful heir, only that; the old man died
without leaving anvtliirli‘g to be inherited.
It now appeared that car Antony was
likewise a. descendant, and perhaps an
heir also, of this poor rich man: and that;
thus the Heyligers and the V andcr Hey-
dens were remotely connected. “What,"
thought-.110, “if, after all. this is the in-
terpretation of my dream. that this is the
way I am to make my fortune by this
voyage to Alban , and that: I am to find
the old man’s hi den wealth in the bot‘
tom of that; well? But what an odd,
round-about mode of communicating the
matter! Why the plague could not the
old goblin have told me about the well at
once. without sending me all the way to
Albany to hear a story that was to send
me all the way back again?”
These thoughts passed through his
mind while he was dressing. He .de-
mended the stairs, full‘ of pe lexrty,
when the bright face of Marie ander
Hayden suddenly beamed in smiles upon
him, and seemed to give him a clew to
the whole mystery. “After all,” thoutrht
he. “the old goblin is in the right. i
am to get his wealth, he means that I
shall marry his pretty dgscendant: thy!
both branches of the family will bengam
united: and the property go on m the
pro er channel." ~
0 sooner did this idea enter his head .
‘0 !
was new 5111 impntmfie to hurry pact:
and secure the treasure, which, he did
not doubt, lay at the bottom of the well,
and which he feared every moment
might be discovered by some other per-
son. “VVho knows," thou hi: be, “but
this night walking old fe low of the
haunted house may be in the habit of
haunting every visitor, and may give a
hint to some shrewder fellow than my—
self, who will takc a shorter cut to the
well than by the way of Albany?" He
wishedathousand times that the bab-
bling old ghost was laid in the Red sea,
and his rambling ortrait with him. He
was in a erfect over to depart. Two
or three ays elapsed before any oppor-
tunity presented for rcturuimr down the
river. They were ages to Dolph, not-
withstanding thnt‘. he was basking in the
smiles of the )rctty Marie. and daily got-
tiug more and more enamored.
At length the very sloop from which
he had been knocked overboard prepared
to make sail.
apology to his host for his sudden de-
parture. Antony Vandcr Heyden was
sorely astonished. He had concerted
half a dozen excursions into the wilder.
ness; and his Indians were actually pre-
parin fora and expedition to one of
the la 'es. 9 took Dolph aside, and ex-
erted his eloquence to get him to abandon
all thoughts of business, and to remain
with him—but in vain; and he at length
gave up the attempt. observing "that
it was a thousand pities so fine a young
man should throw himself away." Hccr
Antony, however, gave him a hearty
shake by the. hand at parting. with a
favorite fowling iece. and an invitation
to come-“to. ' . rouse whenever he re-
visited Alb . 'Thé‘ pretty'li'ttle Marie
said nothing; but as re gave her a fare-
well kiss. her dim led cheek turned pale
and atearstood in nor eye. Dolph sprang
lightly on board of the vessel. _
They hoisted sail; the wind: Was fair;
they soon lost sight of Albany-11nd its
green hills and embowered islands. They
were. waftod gayly past. the Kaatskill
mountains, whose fair heights were
bright and cloudless. Tie passed ros-
perously through the hi h ands wit out
any molestation from t e Dnnderberg
go lin and his“ crew; they we 1'. on
across Haverstraw bay and. by ‘roton
Point and through the Ta paan Zee and
under the Palisadoes. nnt' in the after-
noon of the third day they saw the
promontory of Hoboken, hanging like a
clould in the air, an'd.’shortly after, the
roofs of the Manhattoes rising out of the
water.
Dolph’s first care was to repair to his
mother's house. for he was continually
goaded by the idea. of the uneasiness she
must experience on his account. He was
puzzling his brains as he went along to
think how he should account for his ab-
sence without betraying the secrets of
the haunted house. In the midst of these
cogitations he entered the street in which
his mother’s house was situated. when
he was thunderstruck at beholding it a.
hen of ruins.
T rerc had evidently been a great; fire,
which had destroyed several large houses
and the humble dwelling of poor Dame
I-Ieyliger had been involved in the con-
flagrat'ion. The walls were not so com—
gletely destroyed but that Dolph could
istin ish some traces of the scene of
his 0 lildhood. Tho fireplace. about
which behad often played, still remained
pl'namentcd with Dutch tiles. illustrati-
, mg passages in Bible history, on which
he had many a time gazed with admira-
tion. Among the rubbish lay the wreck of
the good damc’s elbow chair, from which
she had given him so many a whole-
some prccept. and hard by it. was the
family Bible with brass Clasps—now,
alas! reduced almost to a cinder.
For a moment Dolph was overcomeb
this dismal sight. for he was seized wit
the fear that. lie mother had rished in
the flames. He was relicvedieww'ever,
from this horrible apprehension by one
of the neighbors who a pened to come
by, and who informed) him that his
mother was yet alive.
The good woman had, indeed, lost
everything by this unlocked for calamity;
.for the populace had been so intent upon
savin the fine furniture of her rich
neigh ors, that the little tenement. and
the little all of poor Dame Heyliger, had
been suffered to consume without inter-
ruption, nay. had it not been for the gui-
lant assistance of her old crouy, Peter do
Groodt, the worthy dame and her cat
might have shared the fate of their habi-
tation.
As it was she had been overcome with
fright and affliction, and lay ill in body
and sick at heart. The public. however,
had showed her its wonted kindness.
The furniture of her rich neighbors being,
as far as possible. rescued from the
flames. themselves duly and ceremoni-

good Lord! how rich she would have been!
It was now determined, in good earn-

her without delay. The dominie, there-

most. heartily. Even Cobus Groesbeck,
the alderman, and Mynheer Millcdollar,
the great Dutch merchant. stood up in
their pews. and (lid not spare their voices
on the occasion: and it was thought the
prayers of such great. men could not but
rave their due weight. Dr. Knip r-
hausen, too. visited her professions ly,
and gave her abundance of advice
gratis, and was universally lauded for
his charity. As to her old friend. Peter
de Groodt, he was a cor man, whose
it} and prayers and a vice could be of
in. little avail. so he gave her all that
was in his ower—he gave her shelter.

“only let her live—o~ nly let. her live-and
I’ll show myself indeed a soul"
As Dolph approached the house, he
met Peter de Groodt' coming out of it.
The old man started back aghast. doubt-
ing whether it was not a ghost that stood
before him. It being bright daylight,
however, Peter soon plucked u heart,
satisfied that no ghost dare show ris face
in such clear sunshine. Dolph now
learned from the worthy sexton the 0911-
seernatiou and rumor to which his mys-
terious disappearance had given rise. It
had been universally behaved that he
had been spirited away b those hobgobo
lin gentr that infeste the haunted
house; ant old Abraham Vandozer, who
lived by the great buttonwood trees, at
the three mile stone, affirmed, that he
had heard a terrible noise in the air. as
he was going home late at night, which
seemed just as if a flight of wild geese
wore overhead, passing off towards the
northward. The haunted house was, in
consequence, looked upon with ten times
more awe than ever: nobody would ven<
turo to pass a. night in it for the world.
and even the doctor had ceased to make
his expeditions to it in the daytime.
It required some Egeparation before
Dolph's return could made known to
his mother, the poor soul having be.
wailed him as lost; and her 5 irits hav-
ing been sorely broken down y a. num-
ber of comforters, who daily cheered her
with stories of ghosts. and of people car-
ried away by the devil. He found» her
confined to her bed. with the other mem-
ber .of the Heyliger family. the good
damc’s cat, purrin beside her, but sadly
singed. and utter y despoiled of those
whiskers which were the glory of her
hysiognomy. The poor woman threw
her arms about Do! 11‘s neck. “My boy!
my boy! art thou st' alive?“ For a time
she seemed to have forgotten all her
losses and troubles. In her joy at his ro-
young, and s'ou'nd. 371d Tié‘arty’f théli

will all. somehow. turn out for the best."
While this scene was going on with
the Heyligcr family, the news was car-
ried to Dr. Knipperhausen of the safe
return of his disciple. The little doctor
scarcely knew whether to rejoice or be
sorry at the tidings He was happy at
havingthe foul reports which had pre-
vailed cbncerning his countr mansion
thus disproved, but he grieve. at havln

and felt- a touch of that kindliness which
fellow sufferers only know. But. in
truth. cats are a slander-ed people: they .
have more affection in them than the
world commonly gives them credit for.
The good dame 3 eyes glistened as she
saw one being. at least, beside herself,
rejoiced at her son‘s return. “Tib knows
thee! poor dumb beast!" said she. smooth-
ing down the mottled coat of her favor-
ite; then recollecting herself, with a
melancholy shake of the head. "Ah. my
poor Delphi" exclaimed she. "thy mother
can help thee no longer! She can no
longer help herself! What will become
of time, my poor boy?"
“Mother." said Dolph. “don't talk in

Dolph made an awkward 2‘ Cipk‘ would seek

these two feelings, he was determined
by the counsels of Frau Ilsy, who ad-

ruant absence of the youngster and
shut the door upon him forever. ~
At the hour of bed time. therefore,
when it was supposed tho recreantdis-
iis old quarters. every-
thing was prepared for his reception.
Dolph. having talked his mother into a
state of tranguillity, sought the mansion
of his quon am master and raised' the
knockcr with a faltering hand. Parcely.
however, had it given a dubifs ra ,
when the doctor’s head. but red ' Kt

housekeeper-’5, in a white night cap. out
of another. He was now greeted with a
tremendous volley of hard names and
hard language. min led with invaluable
pieces of advice. we 1 as are seldom ven-
tured to be given. excepting to a friend
in distresgor a culprit at the bar. In a.
few moments not. a. window in the street
but had its particular night on , listen-
ing to the shrill treble of Frau Is and
the guttural croaking of Dr. Kmpper-
hausen; and the wbr went. from win-
dow to window, “Ah! here's Dolph
I-Icyligcr come back, and at his old
pranks again." In short. poor Dolph
found he was likely to get nothing from
the doctor but good advice-a commod-
ity so abundant as even to be thrown
out of the window; so he was fain to
beat a retreat and take up his quarters
for the night under the lowly roof of
honest Peter de Groodt.
The next morning. bright and early,
Dolph was at the haunted house. Eve -
thing looked just as he had left it. T 9
fields Were grass grown and matted. and
it; appeared as if nobody had traversed
them since his departure. With palpitat-
ing heart he hastened to the well. He
looked down into it. and saw that it was
of great depth, with water at the bottom.
He had provided himself with a strong
line, suc 1 as the fishermen use on the
banks of “Newfoundland. At the end
wasa heavy lummet and a. large fish
book. With t us he began to sound the
bottom of the well, and to angle about
in the water. He found that the water
was of some depth: there appeared also
to be much rubbish, stones from the to
having fallen in. Several times his 1100
got entangled. and he come near break-
ing his line. Now and then. too, be
hauled up mere trash, such as the skull
of a horse. an iron hoo , and a. shattered,
iron bound bucket. ' e had now been-
several hours employed without finding
anything to repay his trouble. or to en-
courage him to proceed. He began to
think himself a great fool. to be thus de-
coycd intoa wild goose chase by mere
dreams, and was on the point of throw-
ing line and all into the well, and giving
up all further angling.
“One more cast of the line," said he,
“and that. shall be the last." As he
sounded. he. felt the plummet slip, as it;
were. through the interstices of loose
stones; and as he drew back the line, he
felt that ithe book had taken hold of
something heavy. He had to manage
his line with great caution, lost it should
be broken by the strain upon it. By de-
grees the rubbish that lay upon the article
which he had booked gave way; he drew
it to the surface of the water. and what
was his rapture at seeing something like
silver glittering at the end of his line!
Almost breathless with anxiety, he drew
it up to the mouth of the well. surprised
at Its great weight. and fearing every
instant that his hook would slip from
its hold and his prize tumble again to the
bottom. At length he landed it safe be-
side trhc well. It was a great silver por-
ringer, of an ancient form. richly em-
bossed. and with armorial bearings,
similar to those over his mother‘s man-
telpiece, engraved on its side.
The lid was fastened down by several
twists of wire; Dolph loosened them with
a trembliu hand. and on lifting the lid,
behold! th' vessel was filled with broad
golden pieces. of a coinage which he had
never seen before! It was evident be
had lit on the place where Killian Vander
Spicgel had concealed his treasure.
Fearful of behig been by some strag-
glcr. he cautiously retired. and buried
his pot of money in a secret place. he
now spread terrible stories about the
haunted house. and deterred every one
from approaching it, while he made fre-

Dolph took his mother home to live with
him. and Cherished her in her old days.
The good dame. too. had the satisfaction
of no longer hearing her son made the
theme of censure; on the contrary. he
grew daily in public esteem: everybody
spoke well of him and his wmes. and the
lordliest burgomaster was never known
to decline his invitation to dinner. Dolph
often related. at his own table. the wicked
pranks which had once been the abhor-
rence of the town; but they wore now

gravest dignitary was fain to hold lus
sides when listening to them. No one
was more struck with Dolph‘s increasing
merit than his old master, the doctor;
and so forgiving was Dolph that he
actually employed the doctor as his fam-
ily physician. only taking care that [us

the good old soul would wag her head
with cxultation, and .cxclaim: “A11,
neighbor. neighbor, did I not say that
D01 )h would one day or other hold up
his head with the best of them?“
Thus did Dolph Heyligcr go on, cheer-
ily and prosperously. growing merrier as
he grew older and wiser. and completely
falsifying tho old proverb about money
got. over the devil‘s back; for he made
good use of his wealth and became a dis-
tinguislrcd citizen and a valuable mem-
ber of the communit ’. He was a great

beefsteak societies and catch clubs. He
presided at. all public dinners. and was

race horses and game cocks. and was so.

The foregoing vale rests on better au-
thority than most tales of the kind, as I
have it at second hand from the lips of
Dolph He liger himself. He never re-

life, and then in great confidence (for he

Defying n Governor.
Long before the war by which the thirteen
American colonies became independent states.
they were often engaged in struggles to pre-
vent royal governors from encroaching on
their rights and privileges. [n the autumn
of 1693 Governor Fletcher, of New .York,
went'to Hartford to assert there his» author-
ityas commander-luckier of the militia of
Connecticut. .
The royal commission had inn-mead him
with large muon‘mmilina of‘mo
colony, and he orderd‘h. out, though 9
season for pam'dcu‘ "I , find urogrhfi‘l
of Connecticut. > ' ‘ --
“I will not set. my foot out. of this colony."
said Fletcher. hunghtily. to the governor,
“until I have seen his. majesty’s commission
obeyed." ‘
The Connecticut governor yielded so for as
to order Capt. Wadsworth to call out. the
train bands of Hartford. The result is de
scribed in Lossing’s “History of the Empire
State."
I'bcn the troops were assembled. Member
stepped forward to take command, and
ordered his aid to read his cxeellcney’s com-
mission. Capt. Wadsworth ordered the
drums to be beaten.
“Siloucel” angrily cried Fletcher, and the
aid began to read.
“Drum! drum!" shouted Wadsworth, and
the roll of the drums drowned the aid’s voice.
“Silcncel"_ again cried the enragcd‘gov
ornor, and threatened the captain with pun-
ishment.
\l‘adswortb stepped in front of the furious
governor, rested his hand on his sword, and
said. calmly: “If my drummers are inter-
rupted again, I‘ll make the sunlight show
through you! We deny and defy your au-
thority."
The governor folded up his eommimlon.
returned to New York and complained to the
king of his treatment. but nothing came of '
his complaint. —Youtb‘s Companion.
Girls' Buck Saw Exorclsc.
An entertainment in Worcester. Mess.,a
day or two ago was closed by a wood sawing
match. 0n the platform stood seven saw
horses silently awaiting developments. By
the sido of each raw lay two sticks of wood—-
one big and one little one. Each stick was to
be out twice in two, and the young lady who
completed the task first was to receive a
silver pin, with a graven image of a buck
saw rampant thereon, While the lady last to
push the serrated steel through the red oak
was to have a bottle of Mother Winslow's
soothing syrup.
To the music of a piano accompaniment the
seven young ladies formed in line. Some of
them bashfully rested tho knee against tho
stick of wood to hold it in place, while the
others went. at. it. in business fashion, putting
the foot up where it belonged, showing dainty
little amides and pretty little frills. All of
them blushed more or less as they saw the at
tention paid to their lingerie by the male
portion of the audience.
A Miss Denholm cut the first. stick of! the
quickest, tho second also, and looked like a
sure winner; but her grit was more than her
strength. Miss Rogers gained and passed
her. finishing first. and second respectively in

Improvements In Telegmphy.
I have often been asked how it. is pomiblo
to divide a. single telegraph wire and send
different messages on each side of it. The
novice says: “I should think there would be
a jumble somewhere along the line," and, to
tell the truth, it looks to me as though the
uninitiated were about right but for one
thing, and that is the perfection achieved in
the invention of instruments with which to
control the wire. There is one curious feat;-
uro l‘cannot. fully explain myself, and that
is that very often while one side of the wire
is working perfectly the other side will refuse
to perform its functions. The initruments
in the main ofiico appear to be all right, but
you can do nothing to rectify the evil.
Speaking of inventions in telegraphic instnr
mourn, the Whentsltone is a marvel, and will,
I firmly believe, eventually do with telegra-
phy what. the “plug" machine has done for
tobacco rolling—reduce the number of opera-
tors required by the hundreds. Its effect. in
this direction is already being felt in all the
larger cities of the country-Operator in St.

Brain Weight of Boys and Girls.
In the final result of the comparison of the
two sexes in the human race, anatomical. re-
searches will form an important factor.
Many anutomtsts have recognized this fact,
and have instituted comparisons between the
sexes from various points of view M. Gustavo
19 Bon reviews the work of M. Manmvricr
and that of M. Budln, both of whom over
that “sex has no influence on brain weight.
With them the influ‘ence of sex is nothing
more than the influence of height. and if the
females. nsa whole. exceed the males in brain
weight, it. issimply beause the weight of the
body in the females ismuch below that of the
males." M. 13 Bon puts the theory of his ad—
versaries to the test in a very ingenious man-
ner by comparing the brains of malu and
females having about the some weight. By
this investigation it issbown thntin the great
majority of cases the male children surpas
the females of the same weightin their cranial
circumference. At the same age. height, and
weight of body. the female brain is notably
smaller than that of the male-Herald of

Mustard. ,
Only the best mustard is worth having, but
the ndnltemtiom and tricks of preparation
are so many that. the best {shard to get.
Much depends on the method of preparation
When good mustard is carefully ground and
so carefully sifted that only 80 or 40 per cent.
of the weight is saved as table mustard, a
first class articlels the malt. Some pour
stufl' made from the rejected hulls is sold,
with cayenne pepper added to give it a “bite.”
Mustard is largely adulterated by admix-
tures of turmeric and corn meal. Generally,
thequality of mustard can safely be judged
by its price, and tho cheapest isreally the
dearest. The yellow English mustard is
best for table use. California mustard isso
rich in oil that some of the oil is expresed
before the mustard is sold to prevent it from
becoming rancid-hence Its unsatisfactory
quality. Brown mustard is mostly used in
medical practice. —-Good Housekeeping.

The Swift Specific Co., Atlanta, Ga :
Gentlemen—Seven years ago I contracted
an excwdingly bad case of blood poison. I
tried a physician, the best at command, but:
secured no benefit. My throat began to
get sore, and my body covered with sores
and ulcers. Going from bad to worse, I
felt that my grave must be reached in the
near future. I gave up the doctors’ treat—
ment, and with a despairing hope I oom-
menccd taking your medicine. I began to '
improve from tire first bottle, and in a short
time the ulcers healed, and my skin cleared
off and was entirely well.
One year ago a case of catarrh developed
in my system. The physician did his best,
but could not cure me; but two bottles of
Swift's Specific gave me permanent relief.
