The Door Without a Lock.

It was during our honeymoon and in mid winter, when coaches ran and post-chaises wore the fashion. We had been married at York, and were travelling north to visit some wealthy relatives. It was a wild dis trict that we'had to pass through, oyer moor a*'d fell and barrcrt waste land, With jaded /■a'ttle and tfrcd postboys, we managed to reach Alnwick ld'te 6h a! Thursday evening, putting up at the Fer'cy Arms there for the night. The Mowing morn in" the sun rose brightly 1 remember. , By 10 o'clock we were ready JO be , off.' The heavy,' jingling, cumbrous, , yellow cii.^rict *jood at the iuri door with ; luggage strapped on securely behind, and * with my wife's (I was fond 61 diking about " my wife" in those halcyon days ox watn mony) imperial on the top. Waiters, boots, 'ostler, all had beensatisfactonly fed,|iicither had I omitted to chuck " Mary,' the cham bermaid (a remarkably pretty creature, I re collect) slyly under the chin, wlnle'madame w'a«? heiDg bowed obsequiously into her carriage by landlord and landlady, and Syas settling herself Comfortably amid her 'ffla aud' other paraphernal iasitle. We o_c^ more started, ahd at a pace*, too, that for a brace tk scconds7cbuld uot have been much under tweivC rtiTcs all' ilbiir. By slow degrees the day wore gradually away. . ± , ._ . Wo were both longing for the momsut when we should spy the hamlet that was a marginal landmark on our kinsman s estate. Meanwhile darkuess was increasing per ceptibly and rapidly. Suddenly tho car ridge gave a tremendous lurch, and we came to' a fuil (Stop, ~-,.<_ !■> " Please, /Hi', WO carina foiud the rawd, haw ted .the postboy from tlie back of the ncara'de whcbfcr, " Ui'r" (meaning t»e toad) " 'avc left us, «_' we.lVe naw on zum komd o' 'cath. We caima I. far Ira" 'Aldington, but aw canna tell for zartin Hastily embracing my Amanda, who by this time was choking herself with sobs iv the corner of the chariot. I descend to take command, . At length, ii> the far distance, as it seemed to us a Tittle to om left, looking like a re kindled syirtrk in the embers of an expiring lire, WC could dimly perceive rt fftint glim mer of light. ~ V , „ „ "Make for that point there to the left, I shouted. Presently, after another charter o£ a mile of this forced march, accompanied by mullled curses ou our bad luck, a low one-storied pot-house sort of a place stalked suddenly into view. The door was opened cautiously by a rough-looking shock-headed youth of nineteen' or twenty; who peered curiously out iuto »he misty darkness undei bis taudy, Shaggy eyebrows with keen observant ga/e. I "Wba'syer will?" he asked, without, ! however, making way for admission across the threshold. "Mv good fellow, we am benighted trav ellers seeking supper and shelter for the night," I answered, "You shall be well paid ; so let us in at once, without more ado." . " Ugh I aw maim jeest ga an consult wi tha mither," said the youtl:; and suiting the action to the word he departed, clapping to the door, leaving us staring with blank uis may into each other's faces, and shivering outside in the cold. Fortunately we had not long to wait, our grim host soon reappearing dv ihe scent. Clinging closely to Tne. Amanda alighted from the clumsy vehicle, and we both fol lowed our uncouth conductor Into a poor bare kitchen, that reeked horribly of tobacco and peat smoke. An odd thumping sound, succeeded by a noise of a heavy weight being dragged across the iloor could be distinctly heard overhead. " What is happening up stairs ?" I asked eyeing my landlord pro. tern, suspiciously. " Aw dinna kr.aw so I canna say," he replied. Maybe it's tha mither arranging the room for the leddy. Yer maun sleep 'ere yersel', for wc hac but jeest aue apartment wi' a bed in it, an' tha droivcrs maun hea to litter dune wi' the beastics i' the barn. Aw canna 'elp it; we be vera puir folk," he added apologetically. ' Hardly had he finished speaking when an old woman entered the kitchen. Big raw boned, and masculine in appearance, she was nevertheless scrupulously clean, and wore a white apion and a large wide bordered cap tied neatly under the chin with a large black bow. Bustling about, the dame soo nestablished a feeling of comfort around, as only a woman can.

A cloth was spread, and knives and forks and crockery were produced : a kettle boiled on the fire, a second candle was lit, and in another ten minutes a smoking dish of fried eggs and bacon, flanked by a loaf of home made bread was placed before us, together with a bottle'of good whiskey, which the hot water, with sugar and a slice of lemon, speedily converted into excellent toddy— than which there is nothing better for warm ing and cheering the spirits, restoring the equcanity, or < omposiug the nerves. From the tiny wash-house at the back we could hear the postboy's "guffawing " loudly oevr some of Jamie's jokes which seemed entirely to their liking and to his own.

" Tha bed up stairs is quite clanc an' straight whenever tha leddy ma wish to retire," said our hostess, coining into the room. " I'm nfeerd yell na be verra wcel oil'tha night," she continued, " but it's tha maist aw can do for ye."

" Thank you," said Amanda sweetly. I am sure we shall be very comfortable."

"Aweel, an'indeed I hope that ye will. Dinnah fash yersel' wi' tiding up; aw'll cum an' do it a' for ye if ye're so moinded ; m dinuagnc spooring into that earner closet —it be jest full a' things a' my aiu that a put there when Jamie tauld me you war cummin, And wishing us both " gude night," sho vanished into the back regions, io whero Jamie was with " tha droiving iiairns," as she called them. Lighting a candle I handed it to my wife, who leceived it blushingly, and tripped coyly away with it up stairs.

I remained yet awhile ruminating and pondering over many things while the light waxed low, and at length sputtered out alto gether. How long 1 sat thus in the growing darkness I know not, for I must have fallen asleep. It could not have been many minutes, however, forthelire was fast decay ing before unconsciousness crept upon me, and was not yet dead when I was recalled to the things of this world by the most piercing shriek that ever rang in mortal cars—a -hriek so intensely wild and prolonged that it scarcely seemed human. It was accom panied by a heavy thud, as of something very bulky aud massive falling, that shook the foundation of the crazy little house, as if au earthquake wore sapping the earth's strata. I started up in au agony ot fear, and groped my way instantly to the latched door. Before I could reach it another pro tracted wailing shriek vibrated through the miserable dwelling, this time more faintly as it the sound proceeded from some stilling throat iv which sull'ocatiou was doing its deadly work.

Thrilled with a supernatural terror, I blundered up the steep ladder-like stairs and in far less than it takes to tell was in the room whence the dismal, awe-inspiring cries proceeded. It was the room where we were to have slept. AU was dark, save for the pale light of the moon that was now strug gling to cast fitful rays from behind the storm-driven clouds that sped hurriedly in brokm dense black masses across the turbu lent, tempest-tossed sky.

_ymg prone on the lloor, immediately in front of a wide-open cupboard cioor, was a great sprawling motionless heap that stirred not at my approach, only a faint groau from beneath itaunouncing thatit was not entirely lifeless. With a silent horror that prevented mc calliug aloud. I moved towards it, and the hideous sight that met my fear-stricken eyes well nigh curdled the" blood in my veins.

Face downwards—stretched at full length with its arms slightly extended, wrapped iv winding-sheet—lay the corpse of a man, while underneath it, with her poor upturned face as white as that of her loathsome com panicn, whose cold bloodless lips seemed glued to her deathlike checks in close em brace, was my dear child-wife Amanda. Iv one hand she still held the battered metal candlestick, from which the candle had dropped and been extinguished iv tho fall, while the other with outspread rigid liugcrs grasped the shoulder of the ghastly thmg, and seemed as if iv tho act of trying to re pel and avert the festering sped re" object from pillowing itself ou her gentle bosom in itr forward swoop from its impromptu charnel-house to bury under its fietid cor ruption my darling's prostrate form. Summoning all my strength of resolution and presence of mind, I yelled madly for help while 1 siuggled to free my unhappy Amanda from the touch of the horrible shape that was crushing the breath out of her body, with its dcathweight. Suddenly I saw as in a dreamfourblanchcd staring, terror-fraught faces huddled to gether in the doorway. "Jamie," at the back of the little group, clutched in his shaking, bony list, a lighted lantern, that he held high over the other three heads, wheteby a lurid glare was thrown into the dismal garret, and helped to render more distinct the features of the dead aud the living. TJis mother stood in front wring ing her hands aud making unceasing dole ful moans. In a frenzy of nervous appre- ! housiou and nearly petrified with terror, I managed to beckon the woman to come for ward. She came and assisted me to extri cate and release my swooniug wife from the oppressive incubus of the corpse, aud to \ place her gently and tenderly on the truckle I'"'1 '" Hie middle of tho room, while the

Poor dear woman! I do not think she has ever attempted "to gratify her curiosity in tbat way siuce that fatal night.

For weeks she hovered between life a.d death, and did uot rally from that terrible shock, but Jay in a semi-conscious condition sometimes better, sometimes worse, and for months she remained a prey to .the most violent fits of hysteria, or else was arllicted with sudden bursts of wild animal .pirits, that bordered dangerously near.lo mania. However, thank God Iby dint'c, extreme care and patience, asd the most tender nursing that it ever fell te-hntqn lot to receive, together with the best advice from the most eminent physicians of tfe day, she gradually recovered her f«r__ health and even balance of mind, and tan now afford to look back on the dreaderiaf that so nearly bereft her of her reasonjrith uoshuddering composure; but never toftiis' date can I or anyoue prevail upon her, eithti by assurances of fafety, or by entreaties or bribes, to inhabit any room or iostay.ij any house where, to her knowledge, there is a door without a lock.

Opperman, Feci., a wealthy island trador was for some months lying illatHappeinainma nn inland of the Kingsmill Grour, in tho Pacific Ho had been seized with rheumatic fevor, which wa3 followed by complicated disorders of a ter rib y severe nature, assuming tho form of a specie- of palsy never before known. The suf ferer's l-'mbs swelled, tho legs lost all sensibility to ra*n ; the foot could be wrenched round or tho bkin pierced with a lance without inflicting the slightest suffering. Tho sick man was evi denlly unco.' scioua of his having legs, and his brain wa« seriously uff'ected as if with lunacy. In this deplorable state ho was kindly brough fiom th" is anrls to Auckland by Mr 11. Hender son in tho schooner Coionet.

Tiio iiloid Restorer had acted steadily bit surely on the blood; the deadly impurities were gradually eliminated from the system until the stream of Ire llowcd unchecked iv its natural eha.iieis over the entire man. The brain be came clear and active, and tho limbs once again rejoiced in natural circulation, the patient rising to his feet cured of diseases which had baflled tho skill of leading physicians, a living proof of the wonderful healing powers of Hitchens Celebrated Blood Restorer.

Epitome of an article of tho " Hcrliner kil nischen Wochonsch'lft " No. 21, 1871), a medical p.irlodicil, piiblis'ncri at Berlin, with references to iiihnlati' na of tho Kxtkact Kuoalyi'Tlß Foi.is (sunder audSona' Kxtract h uoalrptua) in case.-toi'diptlicria, by Dr. I*'.

D Salenz, a pupi of mine, bassinoo, in his dis9era tion, lepoitid tho rarticul-ir.i of the cases treated, and I may bo allowed briofly to refer to ' one of iho rases enumerated therein. Ida X., of Pa-ewalk, twenty years cf age, had on the I'.uli February, 1579, a fit of chilling lever with violent pains in her throat. She called upon a medical practitioner, who, recognizing at once the caso to bo one of diphthoritis, mado her enter my klinik, whero J had to separate her from th'i oilier patients. Tho patient, well dovolop (i for her age. wascoinpiuining of pains in her throat, which grow worco when she en deavoured to swallow, speak, or move tho neck. The submaxillar and tubmonlal glands woro much swollen, and Hie fever was of a remitting nature. Tha condition o" the patient was on tho 22,k) of February: SVarmth-30.1 C, pulse = oti r, spiration-20. Prescription: Extract cue. c. foliis to bo inhaled for twenty minutes every hour. Tho following day the •latient throw out small particles of ex-tidal. The local appear tiiices in tho pharynx grow worse, and tho exsudais woro more extended over ho mucous membrane. Thai increase of symptoms caused mo to augment tho cioso lo ono tea spoonful of extract cue. used for inhala tion ; also 'ho inhalations wero continued during tho r.ight. On tho 27ih patient got better and the fever had subsided. On examining tho pilar;, nx it was easily to be noticed that tho pro- COhs ot diphthoritis gave way, and ou tho 11th of March the patient was restored to health and' discharged. The report in quoition says that tho Eucalypti 'txtract in all cases of diphtheritica proved successful; ii, also acts forth cases of laryngitis and bronchit's, chronica, pneumonia, cronposa doxf,-a, »o to pbaryngilis, combined with laryus-itiH, treated succotsfully with tho Eucalypti Kxtnict.
