It is !i !irrib!e story .that I. am about to narrateso horrible that" it has haunted inc e ver since I" heard it. Constantly at night, I ii-f. ire I fall asleep, I imagine each lino in that ghastly f;ice but this Won't do. If I must tell the .story I had last commence at the beginning. I spent last summer at the seaside: it - was not in the least a fashionable water ing place, hut so opiiet tint the things that would have been of liuta or no interest clxew here, became wildly excitim' there. Among the new arrivals one day there came h party that interested me to an ex traordinary degree a lady with her daugh ter and a maid. The daughter, Miss? Lin ' Jennie Li usee was one of those per sons Who yon ilel sine has a history. ' Tall, fair hair, with dark eyes and a sensitive mouth, she was extremely h.-tn'dsomc; but her ee was one of the-saddest 1 ever saw in my life. I thought her face sad before I knew her, but afterward, in the pauses of conversation, I have seen that expres sion deepen, or strengthen, rather, into one of perfect misery. Once in pailicul.tr I remember noticing tin's": we were speaking of hands, aud i admired hers, saying that they looked so strong and yet were so delicately shaped. I wondered at the' time what .there coal. i have been in this simple reimirk to dis tress and annoy her. lhit, since I've heard her story, I understand not only tiiis, but many other tilings that seemed strange to tmv- Three years ago ?di;-s Liu. see was visiting u friend a young girl of about her own age :;t her homy u:i the Hud . it was a large, rnrablititj, countrv bouse, with an unusual manner t.f VWrp ing rooms, and Jennie, on liox arrival, was thcoiily guest, so tli.it on each .side of her the rooms were nnoeenpicd. 'J'lie e ern'n;' she ariive.t her friend insisted oa her g injr to b-d earh-, saying that she mustbe Very we:iry; hur, Jennie uisiste.'l that site :is not tired, and absolutely refused to go tubed. At last a -regular hmp ensued, an ! .Jennie's fii- ud loeked her guest in her room, shouted 'good night through the key-hole, and ran laughing down tjie long hall. .Jennie smiled as shc listene.l to the I'ootMrps growing fainter and fainter, and then, turning to the long oval mirror, pro feed to take down Uer hair. . This mirror retched from tin; floor to the ceiling, an 1 was partially draped with muslin. As .Jennie brushed her Imlr and indif ferently I. Miked at herself, she' fancied that, she saw a movement amid the shadows a bout the bed. ..She looked again; the bed Head was low and broad, 'the shadows deep;rbut Jennie felt sure that she was not mistaken, and that a man lay esteud fd at full length on the iloor. For a mo ment she was breathless with terror; her first impulse, then, womanlike, was to K-renni; but Jennie Linseu was no coward, and, after a minute or so of strong stdf control, was rather amused at such a:i ad venture. "I will leave the room," she paid to her self, "as if I had forgotten-something, and 1 will turn the ky on the 'outside good heavens!" and( she stood appalled at the thought. TliiJ door whs already locked! Wha should she do? She dared not call for hid p.- A thought struck her. "Alice!" she cried, "come back a mo ment; I forgot to tell you something." iter voice trembled. .Again and again sl called. All was silent. She listened for an answer. Was it imagination, or she hear a faiutlv muttered oath from under the bed! At last she decided to go to her bed qui-t-Uy, leaving Ler watch, portmonnaie and jewelry where the man could easilv get them, ami hc would protend to fall a ep l ust t he inclined the mirror, so T; r?'" l l c.ml.1 see in it the re lectmn of everything tl?at went .on puce she calmly lighted each candle in the branches, saying aloud, with a laugh:- , J hope I. shall not set the liouse ou lire, lUt 1 never could rcUt candles, and 1 mean to have an illumination for once." Ijpii, with an ill-concealel shudder, nnd slowly, s if going to her own execu tion, Jennie uent to Led. For hours, it joined to her, hut we cannot tell how long it was, .Jennie lay, trving to breathe ?r'ftly, straining her ears to catch the faint "t sound, her eyes to see the slightest movement under the bed. At last, in the mirror, she saw the dark bod move. She could distinguish a hand Htu)'! Was that the gleain of a knife? a "I am to be murdered, then," she thought", And with the calmness of despair Vie watched. The knife had a terrible faseiu at.on for her; now it flashed in the blue 'S it, as ti e man slowly emerged from tho I'cd crawl. ng flat on his faCe. Was there ""thing she could do? Mat she simplv wait until the man roso to kill her? "If I only had a rope," sho thought, "I P"- could make a slip-noose and.throw it over his head." So think about the mom. Her tvo caught siht of a iiuuie nanging ou the Wall bv a stout red cord. Quick as thought the picture was unhung, the cord in Ler trembling hands. She could hear the slow, cautious movements. Should she be too late? At last the rioose was made. N need now to watch the mirror. The man's head and shoulders were all out from under the bed. At that moment he raised himself and glanced in the mirror, and saw jpnni.- ting np. He saw her but one moment; lie nau.iurnea. with Lis leg and part 6f his body still under tho bed.

Soraepeople have a fancy Air fine waist coats. This taste was - more common in 'my young days than it is now. Stirling public events were apt to be telebrated by 'patterns on waistcoats to meet the nrmii- lar fancy. I remember that the capture of jiaununs, at tue close ot 1S10, was fol lowed by the fashion of wearing waist coats speckled over with sm'.-ilf fWre shaped like that island, and called Ilsc-of- nTmrtin-mf n patting-XtjtTl"- fvir the French prisoners of war ou parole to be confronted by these demonstrations. At court highly ornamented . waistcoats have been the fashion for renerations. George, Prince of Wales, wlfile Keentj was uoted for Lis aO'ection for this rich va riety of -waistcoats, and thercbv hans a ta!e. His Royal Highness had anim-m'-nse .lesire for a waistcoat of a particular kind, for which lie could discover only, a piece of stuff insufficient' in dimensions. It was a French material, an 1 could not lie matched iu England. The war was raging1, and to procure the requisite quan tity of stnO from Paris was declared im practicable. At this juncture one of the Prince's attendants 'interposed.. He said he knew a Frenchman, M. ' Bazalijettv, carrying ou business in one of the obscure streets of Loudon.! who, Le was certain, would undertake to proceed to Pails ami bring away what was wanted. This oblig ing tailor was forthwith commissioned to do his best to procure the requisite mate rial. Finding that a chance had occurred for distinguishing hiihseli and laving the foundation' of his fortune,' the Frenchman resolved to make the attempt. It was a bazardons affair, for there was no regular communication with the coast of France unless for letters under a cartel. Yet Uazalgette was not daunted. If he could only land safely in a boat, all would U right. This, with some difficult v and ma noerivcrhig, he effected. - As a- pretended refugee back to his own country he was allowed to land and proceed to Paris. Joy fully he was able to procure the quantilv of material required for theTrinre liegent's waistcoat; and not less joyfully did he man age to return to Loudoa with the precious piece of stutf wrapped round his person. -me waistcoat was made, and so was tl ie lauors lorrune ana tliut ot lus fan. v From Dr. Chunbers1 Scrap Booh.

Preparations for winter, by means of double doors and window?, are made towards the end of September, although tlie- tlonldo doors and windows are only casual !y Heeded before November. The gigantic stoves of stone or brit-k, coated with porcelain, and rising iu various ar chitectural devices nearly to the ceilii:r, are also put in order in September. Fuel is cheap, and the dwellings have an inter nal temperature of summer. Great care is taken iu regard to winter clothing, and the air being clear and bracing colds are al most unknown. Consumption of a scrof ulous nature is, however, common. Snow usually falls in the latter put of October or early November, and sometimes as late &s tho first week iu Hay.- The Xtya and its branches are usually frozen before tho middle of November, 'an 1 the ice breaks up about the middle of April.
