Tuoatsear MISCELLANY; THE STOLEN' NOTE. BT A EETIEED ATTOKKXT. Except he indulged too freely in the tue of the intoxicnting cup, John Wallace) was an honest, high minded and exemplary man. His ono great fault hung like a dark shadow over bis manjr virtues. He uveuat vfell, and when he wts sober be did well. He was a hatter by trade, and bj his industry and thrift had acquired mot ey MUMigh to buy the bouse in which he lived. He hud purchased it several years before iot three thousand dollars, paying one thousand dawn- and securing the balance by a mortgage to the seller. The mortgage note wns almost due at the time when. the circumstance made me acquainted with the aflf.iir of the family, liut Wallace Was ready for the day': he Lad saveJ the rroney,. there secsued no possibility of an accident. I was . well acquainted with Wallace, having done some little collecting and drawn up some legal documents (or him One day his daughter Annie eau.e to my office in great distress, declaring that her father was ruined, and that they would, be turned out of the house in which they lived. , V iVrhsps rrot, lliss WaUivce,' I said, tr ing to console her, and give the effkic, what Mrer it '., a brighter nspect.

'Does Mr. Bryce promise la pay K ' 'He says he has paid it - Well what is the trouble then V 'Father says be has not paid it' 'Indeed I but the note will be evidence that be has not paid it. Of ceurse you have the note?' - 'No, Mr. Bryce has it 'Then of course he has paid it ' '1 suppose he has, or be could- not have bad the note.' ' 'What dos your father say f, . 'He is positive he never received the mo ney. The mortgage must be paid to-morrow! 'Very singular. . Was your father" I hesitated to use that unpleasant word which must have grated harshly on the ar of the devoted girl. 'Mr. Bryce says my father was riot just right when he paid him, though not very fcad.' 'I will see your father. " 'He is coming here in & few minutes; 1 thought I would see you and tell you the facts before he came.' . : , . 'I -do not se bow Bryee 1 could have ob tained the note, unless he paid the mo ney.

'Mr. Br yea, George Chandler, my father and myself . The con vers it ion' was here interrupted by the entrance of Wallace. . He looked pale and haggard, as much from the effects of anxiety as from the debauch from which he was just recovering. v - - 'She has told you- about it, I sappose?' ei.id he in a very sad ton. - She has. , I pitied bim, poor fellow, -foe the two thousand dollars w a. large srm for htm to accumulate in his little business. .The loss of it would make the future look like a desert to bim. It would be a misfortune which one must undergo tin order to ap preciate . f "'. ; 'What do you think about it?' asked he, "7 gloomily. 'I know he never paid me.

'He never paid me,' replied he firmly. Then he has fraudulently obtrained the note. What sort of a person is the Chand ler wno boards wun you r ,. .

'No harm in seeing- him,' -added Mr. Wallace: '1 will go for him.' In a few minutes he returned -with the young man.

Sf AND FH0M UNDER. A QtfEER $T0Et.- " The foITowiri story was lold as an ac tual fact by a i-atlof, who' solemnly affirm ed 'hat he new It to bt true. We have the story as he related it: I was on board a slave ship bo'ind to the' coast of Africa. I had my 4nTsgivtnjrs a- bdul the business, and I believe others had i hem, "too. . We ittid patted the Sirais xf J Gibraher, m1 wr lyuig off Barbarjr, ohe ciitr, bright eveiin.,when :t came my urit to take tle ru lm I he ship was be calmed, :nd evert thi g around was- silent as the day after .the deluge..; Tho .wide nonotony of ater, varied only hy the glaneiogs of the moon on Jhe crest of ihe waves, made me think the old fables of Neptune were true, and that Arpphilh its and her .Naiads were sporlirjg on the s ir face of the ocean, with diamonds in their hSut TRese fancrts were followed by the thought of my wh my children and my home: and ai were wildly enough jumb led together lira delicious state of approach ing slumber. Suddenly 1 heard a hare my bead a lood, terruHe voiee cat out, "Stand from under!" I started to my feet it' was a customary signnl when anything was to be thrown f oro the shrouds, and mechani cally sung out thejusunl answer "Lst go I" .But nothing came." J looked up into the shrouds there .was nothing there. searched the dee!;, and found that I was alone 1 -1 tried to .think it was .a dream; I but that sound, so deep, so stem, so dread- a cannon. In the morning. I told the crew what had heard. They laughed at me, and. were all day Ion r full of their Jokes about Dreaming Tom." One fellow among them was most unmerciful in this raillery. He was a sw rthy, malignant looking Spaniard, who carried murder in his -eye and curses on his tongue : a da ring and lordly man, who boasted of crime as if it gave hrm pre-eminence atno g his fellows. He laughed longest and loudest at my story.

Dick had nerves like an ox, nod sinews like a h le ; it was little he feared on earth or beneath it. The clock struck one. Dick waa leaning his : ead on the helm, as he said; thinking nothing of me or iny" story, when thit -awtul voice again called out from the shrouds, "Stand from under V Dick darted forward like an Indian arrow, which they ay goes through and through a buffalo, and wings on its way as if it had left death tn the rear. It wasan instant or more before he found pr sence'of mind to call out, -"Let go I" Again nothing wa seen nothing beard ten nights in suc eesion, at one o'clock, the same unearthly sound rung through the air, making our stoutest sailors quail nstf a bullet shot had gone thro gh their brains. At last we grew pale when it was spo ken of, and the worst of us never went to sleep wiihoMt saying our prayers For my self, .a mild have been chained to the oar all my life, to have bee hained to the oar all my life, to h-ve got out of that ves- si'f. liut there we were, in the vast solitude of ocean, and 'his invisible being was with us. ISo one put a bold ace on the matter- but Antonto, the Sjaniuxd. He laughed at our fears, and defied bat n himself to tar-l nfy htm. However, when it was his turn at the helm, he refused to go, several times, under the pretence of illaes?, he was excus ed irom a duty wmcn all on board-dreaded. But at last the Captain ordered An tonio lo rc.eive a round dozen of lashes every night, until he should consent to per form his share of the unwelcome office. For a while this was borne patieatly.liut at length he called out, "I may as well die on.- way as toe other. Uive me over to the ghost.' - - I bat night Antonio kept watch on t he- deck. Few of the crew slept ; for expec tation aad alarm had stretched our nerves upon the rack. At one o'clock Che voice called, "Stand from under ! " Let so I" streamed the Spaniard. This was answer ed by a shriek of lanshterr and such laughter I It seemed as if the fiends ans-. wered eaoh other from pole to pals, and the bass- was howled in hell. .Then .came a sudden crash upon the deck, as if our masts and spar tied fallen. We all rus - ed to tfae spot, aod there was-a cohi, stiff, gigantic corpse I The Spaniard said it was thrown (rota the shrouds; and when he looked opon it he ground his teeth like a madman. "I know him." exclaimed he: I stabbed him within an hour's sail of Cuba, and drank his blood for breakfast I" We all stood aghast at the monster. In fearful whispers we asked what should be done wr h the body. Finally we agreed that the 'terrible sight raull be removed from ms, and hidden in the sea. Four of us attempted to raise it ; but haosan streng th was of no avail we might as we4l have tugged at Atlas. There h ray, stiff, rigid, he vy, and as immovable as if it had formed part of the vessel The Span iard ' was furious ; u Let me lift ' him," said be." I lifted him one) and can . do it again. I ll teach him what it is t come and trouble me." He toofc the body round i&e waist and attempted to raise it ' Slowly and heavily the cornea raised itself up. Its rayless eee ; opened its rigid aims stretched out and clasp- ed its victim in a close death-grapple, avad rolling over the tides of the ship, ther totfered an instant ovet the waters- tnen witn a plunge tusy santc together. Again that laugh that wild, shrieking laugh wb -heard on the irtinds. "The sailors bowed the;r heads and put up their hands to shut out the appalhng sound. I took the helm more than ence after, but we never agarrr heard in the shrouds, ''Stand from under I" & prize of ten' thousand francs is of fered by theDuke of Luynes la the photographist who. &hall discover: a. maus of" fixing suu pictures, and ma-J king them durable.
