I was so delighted With the, newdis covery, and, moreover,., so .dreamily S^witn sitting up all n S^t m a state of ftOrvous excitement, that I was tempted to go to bed Without ascertaining how thifpuzzling bewildering, will-o-the-wisp eoulSbe caJedby *jP"<s»to& But I would not let myself tntd to ttie femptation, and resolutely set my wi«tft work to match causes and effects iiut for a long time I could discover nothing. It was the glass beyond a doubt, but a whaT wav ? At last, after turning it in every dkection, the frame suddenly swung back* the screw having become loose Then the whole matter was plain. l*e glass was supported on a broad plate ol polished wool. In this plate, now that the frame sloping backwards made it visi ble, appeared the Mlmoon as clearly as if reflected in water. The plate was large and long, extending almost to the endlot the-table; the moon being on the right side of the Window, shone, of course, on to the left side of the glaSs; and consequently the xefttotionattuckbick^gßmon to the door, which was on the right remaps the oblique position the reflection took, l n +fW nmiMell the curious shape of the ESSes ° The chJnce position of the glass olSed veir much forward, had prevented sloped very mv the moOQ w fr°m T founl now thft the arch was bofOr^ P TW the moon-itjelf; round ftnd SKIS that had so akrmed me l^t^o^r&L^ Se oortion of ber disk left uncovered, be- Hi Srallv of some fantastic shape whicfScted in the polished wood was J™ back again to the door^Jovm of a hieroglyphic of bgbt. This, too, ex plained the blotting out of the letters. SLch little Sae\ SnTt£ren\ another and another, all of shapes; and not the moon only, but the light surrounding her, contributed to the delusion, and formed the line of letters, some brighter, some ?ale^ccord ing to their distance from the centre of light. Why the image of the moon itself should be reflected in the form of an arch, I must,as in the former case I have dcs: cribed, leave to wiser heads than mine.to determine', Which I have no doubt they will do easily having partly guessed inyselt; but as my deductions were drawn from anything but scientific reasoning, I _ think I had better not record them. Neither could I discover or imagine why the arch stood out, or appeared to stand out, from the wall. ..,-;, -, I' have determined to give a plain and truthful account of these two unusual and perpleXiDg sights, from heanng i people speak with evident superstitious dread ol unearthly lights and phantom shapes, which never could be accounted for, seen by themselves or their friends. Nothing could be more strange than these I have described, or more unac countable, till fully investigated ; and perhaps their evidence may induce many to search industriously for the cause of any marvellous appearance, which without such inducement, they would not do; and if they do search, I feel sure that they will find
