No sound was here audible but the soft- of home and safety, the distant baying of | the watch-dog, now and then broken by the sharper rattle of the oarriage-wheels upon the dry road. But wkile I looked upon the sad and solemn scene before me, these sounds were interrupted by 'one| wkich startled, and indeed, for s moment, frose;me with horror. The sound was a ery, or rather a howl of despairing terror, such as I have never heard before nor since | uttered by human voice. It broke from | the stillness of the church-yard; but I saw no tigure from whichit procesded---though this d, was wonderful, as the broken ground, the trees, tall 'Woeds,and tomb stones afforded abundant cover for any person 'who might have sought concealment. .

With feel- ings which I shall not atterapt to describe, I heard the speaker approach the bed--a hand parted the bedtcurtains and drew them open, revealing a form more horri- ble than my fancy had ever seen--an al- most gigantic : figure--except for what of a shroud--stood close bagide my bed-- ed with the lust of the grave, and staring on me with a gaze of despair, malignity, and fury, too intense almost for- human endurance. 1 can not say whether I spoke or not, but this infernal spectre answered me as if I had. "Iam dead and yet alive," it said, the child of perdition--in the grave I am a murderer, but here I amArorLyox. Fall down and worship me. Having thus spoken, it stood for & mo- ment at the bedside, and then turned away with a shuddering moan, and I lost sight of it, but a'ter a few seconds it came again to the bed-side as befor. " When I died they put me under Mer- vyn's tombstone, and they did not bury me. My feet lie towards the west--turn then to the east and I will rest--maybe 1 will rest--I will rest--rest--rest." Again the figure was gons, and once again it returned, and said, "1 am your master--I am your resur- rection and your life, and therefore fall down and worship me." : It made a motion to mount upon the bed, but further passed I know not, for I 3 { ! cupation.
