It seem s that his mother fa lady of an advanced age) had, lor m any years, been occupying 111 his castle a su ite of apart­m ents to w hich she *• Idem admitted visitors, and the keys of which ."die' c ith e r took with her w hen she w as absent from home, or e lse It !l them iir i barge of h e r daughter, the baroness. At such tim es the apartm ents w ere closed, and no one was allowed to en te r lb- m. O n 011c of her visits to a relative in the town of H — r- . some sixty m iles distil ut, she w as seized w ith an acute m da ly, the result o f which they feared. And one night, after ail (he family had retired, those persons occu­py mg the cham bers beneath the old lady’s draw ing room, heard distinctly her well-known tread resounding through the length of the apartm ent.

S truck w ith astonishm ent they listened. T ram p, tram p, it w ent a o r the room. Out o f that room into d ie nex t— then all w as still. Suddi nly they heard a noise so loud tha t it re ­sounded through ilia enure w ing— and back cam e the footsteps, h wa*> a noise as if some ponderous body had fallen on the floor over their beads. T h e young gentlem en and the ir tutor m et hi the hall, and were, as m ay read ily he imagined, entirely at a lo=s to account for the singular occurrences, the more so a s they w ere well aw are that no one had been perm itted to enter the room.

T h e noises soon ceased, and they retired to bed, and at an early hour, the keys being found in tb.-ir accustom ed place, the family proceeded to tin* room. E very thing ex ternally w as as when they had left . t ; the doors w ere locked and bolted, the windows closed anil fasten* 0. hut, strange to say, every one o f the family portraits w ere lying face downward on the floor, not one injured ill the least

T h e old lady finally recovered , and on her re turn said that on that night she lead been very low and ea rnestly desired to see them.

It w as not one o f the c. denial encounter* by the roadside o f knight-errantry ; it w a s tin encounter ..f the lists in full and complete arm or w ith care­ful preparation for the fighi.

But then spondent of the lu s first love. W.Ui an Ins confession of faith i W hile oilier d isc ip lepretended ex istence and the fabled dominions of Jn h ighness, I he w riter under review affirms tha t he is nllogetln “ serious m th is m atter,’' in other words, he really believes that the devil la the ultim ate cause and im m ediate agent o f the Spiritual Mamfcstalmiis W as ever such fidelitv to such a m as­te r m anifested by the pm a t ,wnut on earth 1 Gi-rtamly not to our knowledge. Indeed, the w riter claim s to be nearly alone in his unfaltering trust, and we have no inclination to dispute his pretensions. Now that S a tan — if wo may cred it this w ri­ter— has fairly taken possession o f the earth and established b is em pire, ho may In- ptea~eJ to designate th e Republican as his official organ (d istinguished m arks o f favor are only due to such as have rendered im portant services), and lie m ay also rem em ber and look after the correspondent who Inis done so much to " exalt his horn" before the church and am ong the people.
