I bad been' all day trying to get from
Aveminaler to Cbelcheater by a country
line, a Loudon line, and a branob line of
railway. In the first place, aa tbe country
line only rati ihree time a day, paaaenger
and eood together, necessitutine wearv
abnnting at every station, wo could hard
ly be aaid to have made a good start. In
tbe next place, the strategic arrangement
hereby the London line managed invari
ably to start its train five minute before
tbe arrival of the "up" country train,
making us wait, for two hours at Marlbn
ry Junction, to apite the country compa
ny, scarcely tended to rapid progress. In
the third plaCu a it alw ays hunpens to be
the aim of a traffic-manager to endeavor
drive pafeenirer on to the main line, and
to visit with all possible retributive delays
the hostile Irilih public when it will
the branch. In the fourth place, it didn't
help hb forw-snd to be compelled lo tiAVvel
one hundred and twenty-seven miles
were withered, aud thin, and old. I pressed
them on my brow to tee if I ware dream
ing ; bnt 1 found it shrivelled, and seamed
aud puckered. And I knew that this man,
thia fiend, had stolen my body, and given
mo his. Maddened wi b tbe discovery, I
rose to my feet, kit feet, which swayed
beneath me, and I mini wildly at the
vision of myself on the other teat. But I
found my arms light as vapor, for they
passed over his body, which went through
them, giving me the impression of pain.
It was a body of shade that had been
givou me for my own body of flesh and
blood, which this wretch had stolen. Br
sauie sorcery or other, we had indeed
changed pi aces.

venae, if indeed I had any of them at all
left pf my own.
''Dare say you think you are speaking
loud now, he said.
I answered by calling the guard As loud

"AJt, yon mhrht e.il! a good d.-'al louder
than that, if the carriage was foil of pas

tlian they could see you," be continued,
chuckling, and screwing up my featnres
into a hideously knowing grin, such as I
could ticver have made, them assume.
"You see, my friend, voars is a body of

The recent disinterment of tbe remains
of J Wilkes Doolh from the prison yard

diemrtry fhe fearful tragedy In which he
was tbe principal figure, aud causel the
wvind of the writer to ran over aome of
(He most memorable assassinations in tbe
world's history.
First, with reference to the origin and
meaning of tbe wotd assassin, sna a defi
nition of its present derived signification.
Wa learn from the new Cyclopedia that
the word wa brought by the crusaders
into Western Europe on their return from
tbe Eaat and the Iloly Laud, where ex
isted a set of bloody fanatics, bound t
their leader, tbe then cerebrated "old man
of the monntsin." by fearful oaths, and
who murdered unhesitatingly whoever
was pointed bnt by bim, reckless of death
or dangers. Tbe name of this leader waa
Hasbisbnie, being derived from Hashisb
nie, an opiate now known as hashish, need
by him to bring bia disciples into a state
of murderous frenzy, a drag which had
aeon introduced among the Arabs by a
contemporary of Mohammed. It is a lit
tle singular that this frensy of mind,
whether produced by artificial stimulants,
as hashish, or superinduced by purely
tnoral causes, seesaa to have beeu tbe nec-

(Jhelchester, which, at starting, vi.h only
fifty-eight miles from Avemmster. In the
fiftli and last place, we were no: got to
Chelcheeter yet ; and it would have been
mrncy in my pocket it 1 uever Had.
"Swiubro Swinbro. Change here
for Marchmont and Nutchley. Change
here."
Almost time for a change, I reflected,
considering I had beeu nine hoars out on
a jourm-v of fifty-eight miles, and was
still far off from my destination. Looking
out from my window of a first class corn-
saw it was a cncerless, driz
zling tiiirut, and the railway porters, wexci
streaming iu the misty air as they hurried
to and fto past the gleam of the lamps.
Remonstrating with the guard respecting
our train being an hour late, and.tue time
past eleven at night, he noothed my irri
tation by telling me gruffly I had no bu
siness on a branch line if I wanted to go
anywhere; nnd if I would go out-of-ihe-way
places Wee-- C-helekester, I must be
very thankful if the company put them
selves to I he exponse of taking me there
at nil, considering branches didn't pay to
work us a rule.
-A solitary passenger then entered my
carriage, or rather was banged into it by
the goaid. Another minute, ;mi the
guard had buiiged himself, into his van,
emitting the growl : "Change here!"
Our fiery and res;ive Iron steed, no doubt
weary with his headlong career of fall
twelve miles an hour, 'gave a heroic neigh
of triumph, resembling a feeble crow, in
emulation of past' exploits, in days long
before it was condemned to transportation
on a branch, and dragged u off into the
bleak night. , ,
My companion was i tall, thin, middle
aged man, with a face lean and withered
like a shrivelled apple, concluded below
tbe chin by asfiff satin cravat, In a drees

han run very much to seed, which- per
haps accounted for tbe luxuriant growth
of bia arms and legs. Observing his
clothes steaming with tbe damp sir I be
gan to -realise it was very chilly. It cer
tainly was.
"Quite a change in the weather," I re
marked, '"Very cold to-night, ia it not t"
"Don't feel the cold myself. Perhaps
yon would like to change place Kith me.
i here is no dr u gl.: here."
I replied I should be very pleased to do
so, if not to his inconvenience; and ac
cordingly we changed seats.
It was cold, and no mistake. I must
have taken a chill, for I felt the cold creep
ing over me in a most unaccountable man
,ner. Looking at my companion on the oppo
site seat, on whom the lamp-light now
shone full-, I saw that this face was not so
thin, nor his features so withered, aj I had
at first supposed ; and I must have made
a mistake as to his age, for he was by no
means a old as I had previously judged.
How cold it wss to be sure ! As I con -tiqued
to look at him, I noticed bis aspect
changed momently that be was growing
younger; that the wrinklci in his face
were filling out and srroothing cown; ana
sider the word rather pfra dig. amongst erty of the D, E. F. O. Company, eoutra
ourselves, and have a better term for it.
Now 1 have told you what I am, you will
like to kaow what I want? Very good.
You shall sei ."
The ghost in my body then began to
feel iu my pockets, from which he drew
out my meerschaum, loaded it lioni mv
pouch, and lighted it with one of my Ve
su riant.
"Ah," be proceeded, whiffing-the weed
rapidly," you smoke very good stuff,

out my handkerchief, and use it on that
cherished organ of mine.
"Yes, I dare say now you feel the eold

And indeed is their chief characteristic
x uis brings us to the derived sense ot
be word. Assassin is defined to be a se
tret murderer bat although the word is
frequently used indiscriminately to denote
all kinds ot secert murder, yet sn assas
sin by pre eminence, is something more
than a murderer. Indeed, it is not so
much the act, nor the manner o( wheth
er secret or open, for most assassins are
bold to recklessness, hot tbe motive which
determines the nature of the act. Tbe
motive of the assassin is rsrely, if ever, a
purely personal, selfish or private one ;
but-the word hn assumed a pofittcal
meaning, aud the historical assassin sets
in obedience to some higher law, of which
tifflrpBy dreadful companion proceeded to
illustrate his remark by making a dtfJ at
my shadowy eye with a burning match.
I felt no pain as the ma ch burned in my
lo ad, cerlaiuly.
"Yon will allow, aster all you see, that,
my shape has its advantages," the ghost
proceeded ; "hut ii also ha- its disadvan
tages. Try the pipe now " I tried to
take the pipe ; it dropped through my va-
fory fingers He placed it in my. month ;
could not hold it, nor get a whiff from
it. "Precisely so," said the ghost.
"Now, this is just whst bss brought me

that of most of your City Boards. There f
is a stock of bodies kept on purpose ior
smokers, so that, if you want a pipe, you
must go into oue of the bodies to enjoy it.
But, it you will believe mc, the supply is
so notoriously insufficient to meet the. de
mand, that there is no chance whatever
for a new ghost to get a smoke. When
I catered the Society, all the bodies were
oat in usand booked for three years fa

Tlw reasoning that brings the will to
such a remedy for any evil or oppression,
whether public or private, no matter how
many, is necessarily fallacious, aud beto

UT to avenge a private wrong they all
belong to tbe class denominated monoma
niacs. Tbe assassination of Caesar by Brnlas,
of Henry the Fourth by the fanatic monk
llavaillac, of Duncan by Macbe'.h, more
celebiatcd by the poet than by history, of
Marat by Charlotte Corday, the terrible
attempt on Napoleon the Great by
Slaps, and the last equally as horrible
and defenseless as any of the others, of
Lincoln by J. Wilkes Booth, are among
the most celebrated in liislory, and are re
moved by the motive, not at all by the
manner,., from those vulgar murders
prompted by such private and selfish mo
tives as revenge, jealousy or gain.

patriotism, holding, at tbe time, the office
of city prtetor, thus recognizing the gov

chamber in the liarht of day and the very
eye of the public. He failed even by dint
of bis political power aud the most artful
eloquence to make tbe Roman people ap
prove of this ungrateful act, withdrew in
to Macedonia, nuda I though opposing the
trumvirs with a mighty force, met the
avenging spirit of the murdered Cmsar at
Phillippi, aud in "gony ol remorse, mis
