She made a de- lightful hostess ; and soon, when all our large party gathered in force round the dinner-taâ€" But just as the short October day a1)» preached its close our horses (harnessed tan- dem fashion) painfully climbed the last steep ridge, and there, spread out before us, I saw the end of my pilgrimage, the noble isle of Innismere, lying bathed in the sunset radiance upon what seemed in truth a “ golden sea.” Four miles long, and in one part fully three in breadth, its heathcry uplands promised me ample compensation for my lost chance at the grouse. I could not help considering my friend Charley Dcnham a lucky fellow in being its sole possessorv-â€"apart from the , money value which those brown acres would represent. Innismere is a sea-girt mountain, for its centre reaches to a considerable height. Towards the south the land slo es gently to the water, and a. rude pier ma we a sort of harbor, in which a few fishing-boats lie at anchor ; but on the north and west the ground breaks suddenly off, with cliffs more than a thousand feet perpendicular, opposing their lingo wall to the rush and beat of the waves ; and on the most distant point, where this wallrose to its most dizzy elevation, I noticed the white buildings of a lighthouse â€" , the lighthouse which was to play an impor- tant part in my Irish sojourn. It took me one half hour to reach the shore and yet an- other beforc I had dismissed my Jehu and seen my lugnage deposited in a gaily-painted yawl which was lying at the quay. “ The master himself is here, yer hannar,” said one of the crew, pulling his forelock and scraping his foot in true sailor fashion, as he spoke ; “ but he did not know to the exact minnit what time yer hannar would arrive, so he just dandered (wandered) off somewheres.” A hearty shout behind made me stare, and Charley himself, his “ danderings ” come to an end, bade me a warm welcome to Innis- inere. Four pairs of brawny arms sent the boat slipping through the sea, notwithstand» ing that an adverse tide was running strong- ly in our teeth ; and our sails, although set, ilapped idly against the mast, for “ there wasn‘t wind enough to fan a flea,” as one of the men remarked sotto vow. “ The ladies intended to come and meet you, my dear fellow," said Denham rcsently, " only the time of your reaching ort Kelly was so un- certain that there seemed some chance of having to wait till midnight, and I stron ly advised their remaining behind." “ The a- dies 1” I echoed aghast, thinking of the scan- ty selection I had made from my wardrobe, fitted only for a shooting excursion into the wilds ; “ you never told me there were any ladies in the question.” “ Why, man, do you suppose that because I am a bachelor, I must necessarily be a hermit? That doesn’t suit my book at all. My sister Marion is here to do the honors (her husband, John Revel, is one of the nicest creatures going) ; then there is Miss Furnel, who is a blue, and knows everything, from the date of the next comet to the name of the last gasping jelly- fish left high and dry by the ti 6 ; but she is, very merry in s ite of her learning ; and Mrs. \Vilmott who nows nothing in particular excepting that she herself is awfully pretty ; and there is little Lily Revel, John’s sister, you know. " I did not know ; but ashade of difference in Charley's tone made me suspect that “ little Lily Revel " was something more than “ J ohn’s sister." I glanced at him, but he was busily engaged in steering the boat throu rh a difficult passage between the rocks, and could make nothing of his coun- tenance. I should have plenty of time for future observation, but my suspicions cost me some present annoyance. A man in love is always a very unsatisfactory animal to his friends; but when he happens to be your host, the evil is intensified beyond patient endurance. Charley Denham had been the one dependable friend I had ever since we were boys together in the cricket field, or pulled in the same boat past the woods and meadows which skirt the Thames. “ There they are," burst from Charley’s lips, as we rounded a long low point of rock, and came in sight‘of a group of bright-colored dresses on the )ier ; and in another moment our lit. tle yaw lay perfectly motionless at the steps, and I Was being introduced to the ladies: (ff lreland.

Ourdinner- party that evening was a merry one. \Vil- mott, half to tease his wife, half as an outlet to his ovorflowin spirits, talked as if smit- ten with an awfu fear of the grim resence which had invaded our island. I e made doleful remarks, took affecting farewells, and threw Charley and John Revel into fits of laughter. As for me, my mind was too full of “ Mary ” to have room for fun like that ; and Charley, noticing my absent manner at last, declared that he believed that I was in areal “funk.” How little he knew! It was useless to start before eleven. The lighthouse was about two miles and a half away, but walk as slowly as we might, it could not take less than an hour to get there, and the noises were not reported to commence until midnight. The three ladies left us to wrap themselves in such garments as the chilly October night rendered needful, and while we waited for them W'ilmott and I strolled out into the garden with our cigars, leaving Charley standing at the door. I heard him talking to some one a minute or two afterwards, and the voice I knew so well replied in cold clear tones : “ It is quite un- necessary I assure you ; Marion has explained all, and I am quite satisfied.” “But I am not,” Charley burst out ; “ I can stand it no longer, and 1â€"” “Hush l” \Vilmett and I emerged from the faint moonbeams into the light which streamed from the open hall door, and the conversation was abruptly con- cluded, It would have puzzled me had I thought much about it, but I was so satisfied to find “ Mary ” by my side as I started for our walk, and so confident that Charley was following us with Lily Revel, that I did not care to speculate as to the probable meaning of the words I had chanced to overhear. Up the rough mountain road we went ; the dim light made it necessary for- my com an- ion to lean on my arm, as we stum led amongst the lar e stones, or picked our way over the rifts wliich heavy rains had made across our way. “‘Upon my word,” said Wilxnott, “the very place looks ghostly." So it did, Before us were the white walls of the lighthouso, and some low cabins, which were built under a broken blufi‘, and chained down with great iron chains, to rotect the roofs from the effects of the wiu< . Beyond these the cliff broke of? sheer to the Atlantic, hundreds of feet below ; and over the heath’ my bills beside us, and across the wide ex- panse of the ocean directly in front of us, a strange li ht was moving slowly and weird- ly, like a iuge spectral wheel. It was the reflection of the revolving lantern on the top of the lighthouse, and produced a novel, al- most appalling, eifect as we came suddenly out of the narrow defile. Five or six men were standing together near one of the cabins and within were as many more who had ven- tured up to see what was to be seen, or to hear with their own ears the wonderful sounds which were to be heard, always sup‘ posing their courage was lasting enough to restrain them from rushing down the island in a body directly after the manifestations commenced. A young fellow, very unlike the islanders both in dress and demeanor, advanced to meet us with the light-keeper, a sandy-haired Seotchman of stolid counten- and almost unintelligible accent. Mr. Den~ asked a few questions about the truth of the stories we had heard. The young man did not volunteer a reply, and the light-keeper was evidently unwilling to say much about it. But the men standing round were volu- ble in their answer, explanations, and theo- ries; and the light-keeper’s wife begged us with many tears, not to go into the light- house at all, for that in sober truth the sounds which had been heard there during the past three nights could only forbode dis- aster or death to any one foolhardy enough to put themselves in the way of the demon which she supposed must cause them. “I wish we had never, never come to this ter- rible country,” said the poor woman, sob- bing ; “we were hap y and safe enough at Aurossan, although lie was not a master- ble, I was disposed to confess that Charley was quite right to eschew hermitism at In- nismere. The change in my feelings on the vexed subject of bachelordom was remark- able for its rapidity. Before that dinner“ my first at Innismereâ€"was over, I was ready to regard it as a positive misfortune ; and in another hour I would cheerfully have relin- quished all my “ comforts," all my “ amuse- ments,” my extra horse at Leeds, my pet tailorfiyes, even my favorite meerschaum, for the sake of the fair creature who dawned on my senses like a visionâ€"the creature with the glorious figure, the cooing voice, and the face to match. All that nightl dreamt of her. In spite of Charley Denham‘s supposed devotion to Lily, he was as merry and amus- in a companion as I had found him in the Oh days, and his lovemaking interfered in no way with his duties as our host. The day after my arrival we went out shooting, and I had the satisfaction of making an ex- cellent “bag,” and bringing down my first grouse. A deep sea fishing party was ar- ranged for the followin morning, and I was delighted to hear Char ey say, “ The ladies will 0 with us; we’ll have the large boat, whic i will easily hold us all.” On our re- turn to the house we found our friends in great excitement. The steward had come to inform his master that strange things had taken place at midnight in the lighthouse at the extremity of the island. Shrieks had been heard, and loud calls for help, deep roans, and curious whisperings ; and the ight-kcepers had failed to find out what had occasioned it all. Mrs. Revel retaich the story to us as she walked with us up from the gate. “The servants are dreadfully frightened,” said she ; “ here comes Lily and Mary ; I believe they want you to take us up to the lighthouse to-night to hear for our- selves." I had not dared to ask Charley what was the name of the lady who had so fascinated me, for I shrank from the raillery I guessed might follow ; I knew it now, for there she was, with the round, pretty little thing to Whom Charley’s devoirs were evi~ dently due. “ Mary.” The sweetest name on earth. But “ Mary ” what ? I could not remember; never mind, I should soon find out ; and what did it matter? she would be “Mary” in my heart for evermore. The occurrence at the lighthouse was an absorb- ing topic of conversation. “ Mary " and Lin and Mrs. Revel were all bent on going to see and hear what they could that night. Mrs. \Vilmott declared that nothing should induce her to go, but she equally protested against the possibility of staying at home alone, and, c inging to her husband’s arm, implored him to remain with her. “'ilmott, a scatter-brained young officer, very fond of his pretty wife, but yet more fond of a lark, answered her with an argument which ought to have been conclusive : “ My dearest Nell, if the devil is up at the lighthouse, he can’t be here, too, and you’ll be safe as the Bank of England." But she would not be satis- fied until John Revel said he was quite tircd enough after his day's shooting, and didn’t intend undertakin a five mile walk for noth- ing ; so he should he glad to be her protector. The servants had wonderful versions of the tale, and “ Mary ” told usu-hcr eyes dancing with suppressed funghow the ladies’ maid had besought her with tears not to “tempt Providence ” by running into such danger. “ It isn’t as though you go to face flesh and blood, ma‘am, but it’s spirits I" u... v... A..V..u. vv uAv vv‘lvnv n V “um nine Ullblll , they, too, had heard the .call for help, and they thou ht we had uttered it. “Come away,” sai Mrs. Revel; “this is no place for us. Mary, you will faint if you stay here much longer; your heart is stronger than your nerves. ’ I glanced at the girl, but she was gazing out to sea, watching the pale light which travelled like a giant wheel across the water. “’as that composure a sign of terror and illness too deep for outward expression? Had the horror of this night affected her brain? \Vhy was Mrs. Revel so anxious about her? “ Yes," Charle said decidedly; “we will go. \‘Vilmott, ohn, Lesleigh and I will come again to-morrow, and find the bottom of all this, but now we go home." "No," said “Mary,” “let us stay. I am sureâ€"” Again the shrieks came pealing up the stairs, and this time it was “ Mary " who ran forward to try to find their origin, Before I could follow her Char- ley had already crossed the lantern chamber in her wake, and \Villmott seized my arm, bidding me stay with them, as Miss F urnel might need us both. “ Miss Furnel ‘3" Was she not already out of sight? \Vas it not Lily Revel who stood leaning against the iron railing in agitation which even the dark- ness could not hide? \Vhat (lid he mean? My brain was getting confused. “ There’ll be no more sounds to-night, sir. That cry is always the last,” said the painter ; “ the ladies can go down without fear now." Mrs. ievel asked him how he knew, and he told us that the same programme had been gone through every night since the manifestations had commenced. “Come, Mary, dear,” Mrs. Revel said; “you shall rest a bit in the light«keeper’s cotta e; erhaps that kind- faced wife of his wil m( 'e us a cup of tea.” This was Mary, then~~this girl whom I had thought to be Lily. And if so, who was mv “Mary?” \Vas she the true Lily, we: whose name Charley's accents had filtered? The remembrance of the words I had ever- heard as we started from the house came over me, and I understood everything now. There had been a lover’s uarrel, and that was why Charley Denliam ad devoted him- self to Miss Furnel; that was why Lily Revel had accepted my attentions, and had showered on me the smiles which he was hungering for. And lâ€"what hope remained for me? Could 1 hope to rival my friend? or could I step in where he had failed? Thackeray says somewhere that “ every honest fellow should try to think well of the woman he has once thought well of, and re» member with kindness and tenderness, as a man remembers a place where he has been very ha py.” This then, being an honest fellow, would try to do. But it would be hard work. “ Have you unearthed the demon Y" shouted \Vilmott's hearty voice as came in sight of two figures, one with head‘ bent low the other with face uplifted ; “ did you manage to s 0t him that last time ‘1” “ Yes,” answered Jharley : “ that is, if not your demon, at least a private one of my own, which has troubled me a thousand times more. we have unearthed him, and he is slain for ever and ever.” “ All very fine 1" grumbled VVilmott; “ being myself an old "J .‘v~.m,....<~am‘..u® ed out here, and though I fain would have ollowed her, I hesitated, for I did not dare risk offending her by seeming an evervpresent nuisance (Iliarley was explaining to Lily the mechanism of the lantern, and \Vilmott and I were standing by, when sure enough a piercing unearthly shriek rang up the stairs We had just mounted, followed by a groan and curious whispering sound, as if some in human fiendish nature were rejoicing over another's sorrow and pain. “'0 stood as if paralyzed. liin clung to Charley's arm with 0th her arms. Recovering himself, W'ilmott rushed down the stairway, almost knocking down the Belfast painter, who stood close to the door. I ran out on the balcony; “Mary " was there, her watch in her hand. She looked very white in the dim light, but her voice was firm and brave. " Scream the first, Mr. Lesleigh, and it is just twelve o'clock." [answered something, I did not know what. The strangefsound we heard, the extraordinary scene, the presence of the woman .I adored, all contributed to scatter my senses. I grasped the iron balustrade to steady myself, so that my emotions should not be apparent. “’hat a fool I was ! \Vith a powerful effort I shook off the feelings which were overwhelming me, and spoke as coolly and collectedly as if my heart were not beating like a sled reâ€"hammer against my side : “ We must searc the place ; \Vilmott has gone below; Charley, will you remain here, and I will stand halfway up the stairs ; no living creature can escape us then.” Even While I spoke low roans came from the lan- tern behind me; l turned suddenly, to see Charley leading Li ' through the open door. “ It is only the heat and the smell,’ she said faintly ; “indeed, indeed, I am not afraid, this fresh air will soon set me right.” Mrs. Revel joined us from below with “’ilmott, who declared he had found nothing except the knot of islanders and the liglit-kedper, and they had also heard the shrieks, but 3 much more faintly than we had done ; in fact, they thought the sounds came from the lan- tern where wc were. Leavin Charley and the ladies on the balcony, \ ilmott and I prepared to descend. “'0 had not reached the top of the stairs when a loud noise and a clatter as of a fallin chain rang through the building. The Bel ast man met us at the second door, that leading from the lantern chamber on to the staircase ; his manner was fluttered, and he stammered as he spoke; his stock of courage had evidently given out. “ \Vhere are you going, sir ‘1" he said. “ To See what made that row," said “'ilmott ; “ did you see anything, my man ‘3 Have you just come up ?" “ No, sir ; I’ve been stand- ing here all the time.” Down we went, and found the light-keeper only had remained; the clatter had sent the other men flying. I suppose they sought their homes incontin- ently ; certainly we saw them no more that night. “ See here 1” exclaimed \Vilmott ; “the demon has flung real chains. If we find his playthings, we may reasonably ex. pect to find himself ;" and he lifted a heavy chain from the bottom of the stairs A sort of smothered cry rang through the building, and I thought I could distinguish Mary’s voice calling for help. ‘I sprang upthe steps, t!

They were sleeping in their truekle-bed, little eurly~headed things, san- dy-haired like their father, but evidently in their mother's eyes both lovely and precious. “ All this is sure to he explained somehow," said “ Mary " gently. “ Don’t be so unâ€" happy about it ; your husband and every one else are quite safe as yet, you see, in spite of the screams ; depend upon it, you will laugh at it all soon, and be happier ,here than ever you were at Ardrosszm.” Charley proposed we, should ascend the lighthouse, which we accordingly did, attended by the young man I had noticed before, who informed us that he was a paintei; from Belfast, who was em- ployed with his two comrades in finishing some work before the winter should set in. A winding stone staircase led up the narrow pillar-like building to the hot place where the lamps were burning with an unpleasant smell of oil ; from there a low door led out on to the gallery of ironwark which ran round the exterior of the edifice. Half suffocated by the rancid smell of the oil, “ Maryj‘ step. M. Teofv En. // IF you cannot speak well of yourneighbors do not speak of them at all.

He was very incredulous, and a little contemptuous, concerning our haunted li hthouse, merely saying he would go himsel toâ€"morrow, and give us his opinion. Charley laughed. How happy the fellow was ! The late breakfast was yet upon the table next morning, when a. message came that Richard Rourke wanted to speak to Mr. Denham. “ “'ho is Richard Rourke ‘1" asked Mrs. Revel. “ Don’t know, I'm sure. 0h, l say, it is our friend the painter 1" He was passing the window on iis way to the little room which Charley call- ed “ his office, " where he saw his tenants and transacted his magisterial business. “ Call him in here, and let us all know what he has come to say,” suggested \Vilmott.

They’re cer- tain sure ’tis the devil himself that’s in it; and the priest is coming the night with the holy water." There was a twinkle in the man’s eye as he spoke which enlisted us all in his favor. Charley gave him his promise of secrecy, and half a sovereign into the barâ€" gain ; and John Revel congratulated himself dryly that he had remained snugly in his arm-chair. That is two years ago ; and this very morning Charley wrote me a pressing invitation to visit lnnismorc again. “ My wife bids me join her entreaties to her own," he says, “ I assure that, of all my friends, you hold the first rank in her re ard.” Dear old Charley I Shall I go? \Vel , no, I think not. â€"â€"Abridged from Belgravz'a. l was sorry I .

She was leaning on \Vilmott’s arm, Mrs. Revel walked beside her, and I occasionally stepped on before, acting pioneer through the roughness of the way. I scarcely heeded the conversation which went on concerning the adventures of the night ; I felt numb and dazed ; the blow I had suffered had fallen too heavily for my philosophy to support me, even with Thack- eray's aid.

Frightened Him 011". {W -" \ Jr A MONSTER with a head measuring six feet by four, and a body forty-five feet in length, is, according to the Dundee Advertiser, well known to the fisherman as the “ herring hog. " A very fine specimen of the animal was seen the other day by some Broughty Ferry men oil the Bell Rock. The crew of a fishing boat were hauling in their haddock lines when the “herring hog” came up to blow only a few yards from the starboard side of the boat. lts huge head seemed to be full of slits or holes, and it had eyes resembling those of an ox, but much larger. Its skin was black and apparently rough, changing into a. light hue toward the lower part of the body. It had a broad tail, which would measure about, six feet from ti to tip, and seemed to be veri old, for its end and tail were covered wit large white harnacles measuring about three inches long, and one of its fins were partially eaten up, as if by decay. It took several haddocks off the lines, and broke the line the crew were hauling in, The men then became alarmed, and threw stones at it, one of which struck the hog, when it plunged and reappeared at a greater distance, givmg a great roar. STILL another speech-saving device of the dealers in slang is reported by an Edinburgh correspondent : “There are so many things one would be glad to know about one’s neigh- bor -â€"â€"is she or he handsome or agreeable, or clever, or nice, or leasaut, and so on ; all this is now providm for and packed away in the simple monosyllablc ” quite.” You have no need to ask your friend a torrent of ques, tions about the lady of his choice ; if he says she is quite, that includes everything dean» able, and if he adds he thinks her “ quite quite,” you know at once that she is the m plus nltm of perfection.” you fnean by that ?” “ Well, it‘s so, mother ; ’cause my Sunday school teacher told me that nobody but the devil sowed tares.” A HAMILTON boy, came in to his mother the other day with two yawning rents in his trousers. His patient mother sat down, after administering the necessary counter- irritant, to repair the garment, and was shocked to hear her darling tell his sister that “ Mother was an old devil.” “ Harry,” she crie( , “what did you say '1” "I didn’t say anything, mother.” “Yes on did, Harry.

An army of water scavengers, in the shape of eels, is collected in the reservoirs and driven through the pipes. It is reported that the eels come to si ht again in a most edifying foul conditionfioringin with them all the impurities which had col acted in the pipes. A LONDON correspondent states that Mr. N. G. Holmes has lately constructed an im< menso organ for his magnificent residence on Primrose Hill. It has four keyboards, six- ty-five speaking stops and 4,209 pipes. In connection with the great organ is an “ echo organ,” built away from it, and worked by the electric action. Then there is a. carillon, 01' peel of bells. Altogether, Mr. Holmes has ower enough in his house to please: his neig bars for a quarter of a. mile round, or, if he pleases, to make life unbearable to them. THERE is no other work in the world, we are told, of which so many copies are printed annually as the Chinese almanac. The num- ber is estimated at several millions. This almanac is printed at I’ekin, and is a mono.- poly of the Emperor. It not only predicts the weather, but notes the days reckoned lucky 0r unlucky for commencing any underâ€" taking, for ap )lying remedies in diseases, for marrying, aml for burying. AN Indianapolis cat got to playing with a small turtle the other day, and was having a nice time tumbling it around, when suddenly the turtle’s jaws closed on the cat’s tail. There was some very lively tumbling then on the part of the cat, to an accompaniment of her own selection. Two hours after she was seen examining that tail tonderl , evi- dently wondering if the piece woul grow out again THE Staunton Vindicator’s composition on the ground hog : “ The ground hog was out W'ednesday. He saw his shadow. He ran back in his hole. There will be awful weather for the next six weeks. Many per» sons will damn the ground hog. But he will not care. He is in his hole. If a, person in safe in his hole he does not; care how much cursing goes on outside. 11; is the same with ground hogs as with grown persons."

A “nINRchAstA” is a Japanese wagon, two-wheeled, and drawn by a coolie. In chdo there are said to be one hundred thousand of these wagons for public use. It costs about three-pence an hour to ride in one, and a good “ ginrickaslm ” man will run forty miles a day in a hot sun with a full- grown passenger in the wagon. This con- veyance is very much used both by foreigners and the Japanese. Tm: unusual torture of freezing and burn- ing to death was the lot of a. negro girl in Cummin s, \Vis.

THERE is a growing discontent in France, on the part of the laborers who have to work on Sunday ; and the Minister of Public Works has sent a circular to the railway companies and other large employers, sug- gesting the idea of allowing all employees a part 0 Sunday, in order that they may attend religious services if they wish to. A CURIOUS story is published by a German newspaper, according to which an officer of the Imperial Prussian Foot Guards has re- ceived a challenge, in which thirty officers of his regiment are challenged to fight an equal number of French officers, the Gormansfhav- ing the choice of arms and place.
