Tbe Impetuous fury of the catering gust

a tcmpestaous yet sternly beautiful night; and
one wildly singular in its terror and its beauty.
A whirlwind had apparently collected ita force
in our vicinity'; for there were, frequent and
violent alterations in the dlrectiop of the wind;
and the exceeding density of the clouds (which
hung so low as to press upon the turret of tbe
house) did not prevent our perceiving tbe life
like velocity with which they flew careering
from all points against each . other, . without
passing awny into the distance. I say j that
even their exceeding density did not prevent
our perceiving this yet we had no glimpse of
the moon or at-irs nor was there any flashing
forth of the lightning. But the nnder surfaces
of the huge masses of agitated vapor, as ' well
as all terrestrial objects ioimediatelyaround us,
were glowing in 'the unnatural Mht of a faintly
luminous and distinctly visible gaseous exhala
tion which ban? about and enshrouded the

Tbe antique volume which ' I had taken up
was the " Mad Trist" of Sir Ianncejot Canning ;
but I mid call d it a Uvonte of Laiirrn more
in sad jest than in earnest ; for, in truth, there
ik Utile in its uncouth ana unimaginative pro
lixity whii h roulQ have ; had interest fr tlie
lofty and S)i:itaal ideality of my friend. It
was, how ever, the only book : immediately at
hand ; and I indulged a-vxgue hope that the
excitement which now agitated the hypochon
drlac, j mi:;ht find relief (for the history
mental disorder is full pf similar anotnalii't)
even in the extremenvss of the folly which
should read. Cu!d I have judged, indeed, by
the wild overs rained" air of vivacity .with which
he harkened, or appnrehtly harkened, to the
words of the tale, I might well have congratu
lated myelf upon the success of mjdei.iin.'' ;
I had arrived at thai I WHftrTnown portion of
the story where Ethejred, the hero f the
Trist, having sought in vain for peaceable nd-
niiMion into the dwelling of the hermit," pro
ceeds, to tn.ike good ;an - entrance by ' force.
Here, it will be remembered, the words' of the
narrative run thus :
was by nature of
wis now mighty with
al, on account of ihe powerfulnass of the wine
which he had drunken,' waited no longer to
ho'd parley with the hermit, w ho, in sooth, was
of an ob-itina'e and m gleeful turn, but, feeling
the rain upon h's shoulders, nnd fearing the
rising of the tempest, uplifted his mace out
riht,"and, with blows,; made qaickly room in
the pUnkins of the door for bis gauhilcted
hand; and now pulling therewith sturdily, he
so cracked, and ripped, and tore all asunder,
that the noine of the dry and hoHow-sounding
wood alarum raed and reverberated throughout
tbe forest" ! j" ' ' , ' ; V " 's
At the termination of thin sentence I started,
and for a moment, paused ; for it appeared to
a And Ethelied. who
doughty liearf, nnd who;
donjsn, th it I experienced the full power ' o
such feeling. Sleep came not near my couch
while the hours waned and waned away. I
tru;gl d to rcaon off the pervonsness which'
had dominion over me. I endeavored t believe
that much, if not all of what I felt, wa doe to
the bewildering influence of the gloomy furni
ture ft the room of the d rf and tatlere '
draperies, which, tortured Into motion by the
breath of a ri-ing tempest, swayed fitfully to
and fro upon the wall, and rut'ed uneasily
about , the decorations or tne oed. But my
f I me (although I at once concluded that i my ex
rited fancy had deceived roe) it nppearedto
me that, from some very remote portion of the
mansion, there came, indistinctly, to my ears,
what might have been, in its ex jet similarity
of character, the echo (but a stifled and dull
one certainly) of the very cracking and ripping
sound which Sir Ltuncelot had so particularly
described. It wa. beyond doubt, the coinci
dence alone which hnd arrested my attention ;
for, amid the rattling of the sashes of the case

effort were fruitless An irrepressible tremor 1 ine BU" 'orm, tbe sound, in itseit,

rViorwlilch I bad fallen, by pacing fapidfy. to
and fro through the apartment ' j
I had taken but few tarns in thia nianner,
when a light step on an ndjolninj staircase r
feateil my attention. I presently recognised It
is that of Caher. ta an, instant afterward he
rapped, with a centle touchy at my door, and
who enlereth herein, a conqweror hath bin ;

And Ethelred uplifted 1 his mace, and struck
upon the head of the draron, which fell . before

Shriek stf fiornd snd harsh, arid wfthal7g0
piercing', that Ihelred bad fain to close hia ears
with Ms hatias against the dreadful iiolse of it
the like Whereof wna never before heard."
livft fcgaln i paused abniprfy, and tan tTitli
a feeling or wild amstement for th6re 'coold
tions, in which wonder and extreme terror were
predominant, I still retained sufficient presence
of mind to avoid exciting,- by any observation,
the sensitive nervousness of my "companion. I
was by no means certain that he bad noticed
the sounds in question ; although, assuredly, a
strange alteration had, 'during the last! few
minutes, taken place in his demeanor. ' From
a position fronting my own, he had gradually
brought round his chair.JBQ as to autt with his
face to the door of the chamber ; and thus I
could but partially perceive his features, al
though I aw that ' his lips trembled as if he
were , 'murmuring inaudibly. His head j bad
dropped uon bis breastyet I knew that he
as not asleep, from the wideand rigid opening
of the eye as I caught a glance of it in profile.
The motion of his body,; too, was at variance
with this idea for he rocked from side to side
with a gentle yet constant' and uniform away.
Having rapidly taken noti e of all jthis, I re
sumed the narrative of Sir Launcelot, which
thus proceeded: 1" ' r f - " .
f And now, the champion, having- escaped
from the terrible fury of the dragon,; bethinking
himself of the brazen shieldand of the break
ine'up of the enchantment which was upop it,
removed the carcass from out of the1 Way before
him, and approached Talbroualy over theilver
pavement of the castle to where the: shield was
upon the wall ; which in sooth tarried not for
his full coming, but fell down at his feet upon
the silver floor, with a mighty great and terrible
ringing sound." ; j i
; No sooner had these syllables passed my
lips than as if shield of brass had indeed.
at the moment, fallen heavily upon; a floor of
silver I became aware of, a distinct, hollow,
metallic, and clangorous, yet apparently muffled
reverberation." ! Completely unnerved, I leaped
to my feet ; but the measured rockins move
ment of Usher was undisturbed. I ruthed to
the chair in which he sat. His eyes were bent
fixedly before him, and throughout-bis, ; wlioh?
countenance there reigned a stony rigidity
But, as I placed my hand upon bis shoulder
there came a strong shudder over his i whole
person ; a su-klv smile quivered about his lips;
and I saw that he spoke in a low, hurried, and
gibhering murmur, as if unconscious of my
presence. Bending closely over himj I atlengtl
ink in the hideous import of his wonls.
" Jlot hear it J yes, I hear it, and have heard

my haste ? Hava I not heard her footstep on
th stair? Dol not distinguish "that . heavy
and horrible beating of her lieart I Madman! "
hermits sprang furiously t hia feet, and
shrieked out his syllables, as if in the effort he
were giving up his soul--" Madman ! I tell you
that the not stands without the door ! "
As if in the superhuman energy or his nlter-
ance thre had been fodnd " the potency of a
spell the huge antique paunels to which. the
speaker pointed, threw slowly back, upon, the
instant, their ponderous and, ebony jaws. It
was the work of the rushing gust but then
without those doors there did stand the lofty
and enshrouded figure of the lady Madeline of
Usher. There was blood upon her white robe,
and the evidence of some bitter .struggle upon
every portion ol her emaciated frame. For a
moment Khe remained trembling and reeling to
and fro upon the threshold then, with" a low
moaning cry, fell heavily inward upon the per
son of her brother, and in her violent and now
final death-agonies, bore him tO: the floor a
corpse, and a' victim to the terrors he Jiad .
anticipated. ;. ' ;t " -; " ' ,,- . . ;. .
1 From that chamber, and from that .mansion,
I fled aghast The storm was still abroad in
nil its wrath as I found myself; crossing ihe old
cause way. 1 Suddenly there shot along the path
a wild light, and I turned to see 'whence a gleam
so unusual cotild have issued; for the vast
house and it? shadows were alone behind me.
The radiance was that of the full, setting, and
blood-red moon,; which- now' shone vividly
throtfgh that Onee barely-discernible fissure, of
