'•My dear," said Mr. Crucible, "it
I a e uially gone."
••It can't be, my dear," said Mrs.
Crucible. "Tli? thing is iinpossi
ble."
They w ere talking of Mr. Crucible's
ter.non, which,having been completed
lale on Saturday night, had been left
on the desk, as usual, to be ready to
his hand at church time oil Suu-
I da v.
Mr. Crucible was a very exact man
and remembered precisely where he
put the little pile of sheets fastened
together at the top, and what he had
afterwards done.
'.Just here, my dear" he said to
Mt'si Crucible— "on the left hand side,
and my pen hi the little rack, and the
wipor over against it. Then I cross
ed the room, locked the (loot', un
dressed and went 19 M. The door
is locked still, Katheriue. &ee!"
1 "Then no one can have entered the
i room," said Mrs. Crucible, "and the
♦ sermon must Jje safe."
After this the good couple made a
; search ol which any detective might
i have' been proud, but" failed to dis
(cover the sermon. And, as the
| church bells began to ring, Mr. Cms
I cible hurried toward the church, iu
i undignified haste, with one ot Irs old
I sermons in his pocket, and a look of
dismay and perplexity, quite unusual
Ito h ill, on his foce—while Mrs. Cru
cible, who hud stuid behind to make
another search, actually reached her
pew after the tirst hymn begun. The
I .-cr'noiMvus ouc on which Mr. Cru
j i-ible-pi ided iiim«elf. Some o.ie iu
j the congregation had professed to
| doubt the existence of Satan as an in*
| dividual, ami iu his sermon Mr. Ciu-
I cible clearly proved his iilenii. v. and
hud .-poken of li'in as he certainly
well dii'erved. All the week he
looked iu vaiu for the mauuscripi,
and at last making sure that he should
not find it, wrote another fioin the
same text and conveying the same
ik-;is.
It was, he considered even better
tluui the first; and, having come to
this satisfactory conclusion, he patted
the snects intc a little pile, fastened
them together, rolled tliein up and
wrapped about them a little elastic
band; iiftcr which he placed it in 11
prominent position 011 the desk, end
retired, falling asleep at once, and as
usual, sleeping heavily all night.
! The m-iruing sun, shining through
, his window, awoke him to the reali
sation of a fact that a new Sabbath
had begun, am! .that lie had a little
overslept himself. With the first
I ol memory the last Sundays oe»
I cur. d to his mind.
••I can't tell you how mortified 1
j was by the loss of that eermon, my
) dear," he said to Mrs. Crucible, as he
I tied his cravat. "What could I have
done with it? I took great care last
night that the same thing should, not
| oectir again. 1 laid it wlieic-HaHoI
j you put it away haven't you, Kalba-
I rine?"
"Put what away?" asked Mrs. Cru-
"My last night's sermon." jaid Mr.
Crucible. "It laid iusl here. It was
fastened wit!: an elastic. Come, my
dear, don't lease inc. It's very well
to joke, but—you've 'hidden it,
haven t you?"
"How can you suppose such n
tl ing?" said Mrs. Crucible. "1 have
neither »CJ;II or touched the ser
mon. "
And again a search w.s begun;
again it was Iruitless. The doors were
locked; the windows could not be
entered from without. -Neither mon
key or magpie were about the prem.
ises; but the second sermon had fols
lowed tito first.
Again Mr. Crucible preached an
i old sermon—again Mrs. Crucible was

| urdav nighi Mr. Crucible wrote a
' still more earnest sermon on the same
text, painting Satan even blacker
that*'before; and this time locking
the manuscript jn a drawer when
completed, and, to cut a long story
short, the third time the sermon van
ished- this time from a locked desk
in a locked room, in which lie liim—
self slumbered.
The third old sermon was preached
and poor Mr. Crucible was nearly in
a fever, until Hitting alone one eveir

ble, who accepted it as a fact at once
and then he sat down to w.iite on the
| same subject more fiercely and earns
| estly than before.
It wis a thrilling sermon that lie
at last completed. And he did not
lay it on his desk. Instead he bound
it together and slipped it under his
pillow.
"My head shall rest U,.on it to
night," he sain. "1 will preach it on
Sunday, despite all Satan can do. If
he takes it, he will wrestle for it with*
me."
And both Mr. and Mrs. Crucible
lay awake until two o'clock in the
morning, in consequence of this de
termination.
At a late hour, however, thev fell
asleep.
The first thing Mr. Crucible did,
when he awoke in the morning, was
to slip his hand under the pillow.
The xennon Was ffone, aiid lie ga'v-*
a loud arv, that awoke Mrs. Crucible
in a terrible fright.
'lt is gone again, my dear," was
all (hut the poor man could say. "It
is gone attain."
" riieu it actually is Satan," said
Mrs. Crucible.
'Matters had now become serious.
Mr. Crucible felt that he could not
keep the matter to himself any longer.
He could rot go on preaching old ser
mons without explanation. This one,
indeed he must, for there were the
church doors open, and he au
extemporaneous gp aker.
Accordingly he proceeded to the
old hair trunk, a legacy (rum his ;rent
grandfather, and owning it, looked
iu, tolly expecting to see within the
piles ot folded sermons, which bad
been gradually accumulating for
years. To lus astonishment mid hor«
ror, (lie trunk was empty. Nothing
remained In it but the mysterious
dust which is always seen after the
■ en,oval of the cleanest books or pa
pers 'rom anv teccntacle.
That day M.rs. Crucible did not go
lo church at all, and Mr. Crucible
preached as well us he could from n
lew hasty notes made while the fir-t
lynins were being sting.
Afterward he coininunicatjd the
fact we have narrated to a couple of
deacons, old friefrds as well as mem«
ibeis of his flock, who refused to be
lieve Satan ilie robber, and HO firmly
insisted that human hands did the
work that Mr. Crucible actually grew
angry at them. He explained over
and over again that the sermons were
specially directed against Sa'au and
and all his works, and that it was 110
■l ore than likely that the adversary
desired to put ail end 10 hi# crusade
against hi in: but all that Deacon
Smith would sav was:
•'Well, well, no doubt lie has a hand
in most of the wicked tiling* that are
done,' but lie lias worked through liu
man agents. You'll ti>i>l it's tli.tt liiicrt
man uf yours, or (hat icau who does
odd jobs. I never liked his looks.
You are not a Spiritualist, / IIO|H* Mr.
Crucible.
"No, no. 1 abhor their doctrine,'
*ctied Mr. Crucible; "but Ido be
lieve, as you kpow, ill a personal devil,
anil Martin Luther, you know—
■' Yes, I kin»w,''said brother Brown
who had not yet spoken; "but some
how it was kinder different with Mur
tiu Luther, was'ut it?"
" 1 really can't see why." said Mr.
Crucible, iiikigiianlly.
Then Mr. Browu and Mr. Smith
consulted together, and formed a
plan. On the following Saturday
night a new sermon was to be laid
upon the pastor's desk, and lie was to
pretend to retire as usual, having be
fore hand secreted in 11.0 studv, which
opened out ol the bedroom, and had
>•0 other door, Messrs, Browu and
Smith, who, sheltered iu along ward»
robe, could burst out upon I lie cul
prit and secure him. Of course Mr.
Crucible was only to pretend to sleep
and Mrs. Crucible had determined to
keep vigil in anotlier room.
Accordingly, prayers having been
said >ll the night iu qiieMtou, the
home was locked up, and the ser
vants sent to bed.
The Crucibles then ieigiicd to retire*
but Mrs. Crucible merely locked her
selt into tlic square bed-room, and
Mr. Crucible lay down iu his dressing
gowu and slippers, fully deteinined to
reioain wide awake
There it nothing more likely to lull
eveu a constitutionally wakelul per
son to repose than sucb a re so utiou
and Mr. Crucible was lar froin being
constitutionally wakelul. Alter lying
for a few moments watching the
streak* of moonlight, and secretly
hoping that Deacons Browu ami
Smith would that night see enough
of Satan to convince litem of his per
soi ality, Ilia eyes closed and lie began
to snore.
Five minutes afterwards Brown,
peeping oat ol the wardi obe, pinched
Smith, and Smith pinched Brown.
"Something cowing," said Smith.

"Slop talking and come along.'
whispered Smith, as lie grabbed a
dark lantern with which he had pro-
Tided himself.
Then they s|>eil after the departing
figure, who crossed the clergyman's
bed-room and unlocked the door.
"Mr. Crucible." whispered Smith,
as they passed the bed: but there was
no answer.
The shadewv figure sped down
stairs, and they followed. On the
landing, the door of the spare bed
room opened, and out lushed Mrs.
Crucible, wrapped, from the chillness
ot the midnight Vigil, in u shawl.
Brown seized her hand.
'•/ And be frightenjd. Mrs. Cruci
ble-" he whispered.
"I can't help it, Mr. Brown. What
an awful looking thing! Where is
poor Mr Crucible.
"Asleep, I guess," said Brown. '
Ou they crept.
"It'ti going «luwii the cellar," said
Mrs. C'ruoible: and Smith was already
oil I lie stairs with a lantern,
down which tho object in ghostlv
drii| crv slowly flopped.
"Suppose he should do something
dreadful to us!" Mid Mrs. Crucible.
But flic had not the courage to return
alone.
7'licy were now in the cellar, cold
and damp, and Smith was keeping a
sharp eye on the figure before them—•
Sutau on the other, us it might lie. It
had crossed the stone floor, and F ivus
now bent over some empty flour bari
rels. and, at that instant, Deacon
Smith close on his heels, turned the
light of the lantern full upon it, and
revealed neither ghost nor sntan, but
a living mortal, No other than Mr.
Crucible himself, draped in a white
counterpane, wearing u tusseled
night cap upon his head, and wrap*
I»ed in the strange, npeii-eved slumber
of the somnambulist.
"Oh!" shrieked Mrs. Crucible.
"Oh! what is it? What does it
mean?"
Mr. Crucible has takcirto walking
in his sleep, and hu* hidden his own

Then Deacon Brown desired to
shake Mr. Crucible awake. But dea
con Smith, with better sense, suggest
ted that he should be allowed to re
turn to lis pill w undisturbed, which
lie accordingly did.
The next morning Mr. Crucible was
coiivince.l of what had happened only
by tho sjght of the sermons iu the old
barrel. And lie has since written a

Mr. Butterwick, of Hoxboro, liadj
a fit of sleeplessness one night, lately, j
un], after vainly trying to lose himself
in slumber, he lmppeiied to rAuenitier •
that he once read in a almanac that a
man could |mt himself to sleep by.
imagining that he Haw a flocl^'ofsheep 1
jumping a fence, and counting tlieui, |
and he determined to try the eijie
riutent, and, closing his eyes, he I
fancied the sheep jumping, and began
to count. He had rendu d his 140 th
sheep, and was hegining to j
dos© off, when M.s. Butterwjsck a>id-1
denly said :
"Joseph!"
"O, what?"
"1 believe that yellow hen of ours
want* to set."
"O don't ltothcr mo with such noo
•ence as that now. L)o keep quiet '
and go to sleep."
•A I
fht-n Butterwick started his sheep ,
again, and commenced to count. He '
got up to 120, and was feeling as if t
lie would drop off at any moment, '
when, just as hit 131 st sheep was to '
take that fence, one of the twins be '
gan to cry.
"Hang that child!" he shouted at j
Mrs. Butterwick ; "why dou't you I
tend' to it and put it to slc£pf Hush I
up, you little imp, or I'll spank '
When Mrs. Butterwick had quieted
it, Butterwick, although a little ner
vous and excited, conciudod to try it
again. Turning on the imaginary
mutton he began. Only sixty-four
sheep hod slid over that fence, when
Buttcrwick's mother-in law knocked
at the door and asked if he was awake
\y hen she learned he was, she said
she believed he had forgotten to close
the back shutters, and she tliougt site
heard burglars in the yard.
Then Butterwick arose in wrath
and went down to see about it. He
ascertained that the shutters were
closed as usual, and as he returned
to bed, he resolve J that Mrs. Butter
wick's mother would leave the house
for good in the inqruing or he would.
However, he thought he might as
