You are travelers who seek all that is strange and wonderful ?" said to us one lay an old, gray-headed man, to whom we had related some of our adventures. "Yes, we like to see all that is extra, ordinary, even to the marvelous" "You have nerve for anything ?'f "It is not for us to boast, beyond saying that we always. h'avVhad nerve for what ever we have encountered." "You have not mentioned to me the Castle of Ghouls !" ! .said ; the old .man, with a sharp look. "We never heard of it till now." "You should visit it then if you have theceurage." "Where shall we find it?" ' Twenty leagues southward, among the mountains." "How shall we find it ?" "Go to Schweidnitz and procure a guide." "And what shall we see to reward us fur the journey ?" . .VAh! that indeed! Wfhat will you not see ?. I should - like Xo y hear your story after you have beeri there!" " : '---Is the castle haunted V ' ;: i ( j , .. ...... VThere are those, who' say -it is!" re plied. the old man, nodding his Lead 3vith a mysterious air. "It certainly has an ominous name rejoined I. "It was not given to it without reason, you may be sure." "Well,'-' said my friend, "I have no fear of anythinf uneanhly because I have no faith irf ghosts but tnere are such beings as robbers, and in some of these old, deserted castles and towers, I donbtnot they find refuge and play their cunnin off upon the ignorant and super- stitious "I believe you, sir; but I believe more that some of.ahese places are at times tenanted by beings from another world." ; My friend and I exchanged glances with incredulous smiles. We finally ter minated the conversation by the declara tion that 'we would visit the Castle of Ghouls, and the old man made us promise that we would write to hirn and give him an account of our adventures. It vai just at the dawn of a beautiful summer's morning, that we set. off, with a guide, to visit the-Castle of Ghouls. We had ten miles-to ride, over a hilly country, and then about a mile to toil up a steep acclivity on foot. By ten o'clock we saw it high ibove us, looking as wild and romantic as heart could wish. It formed the apex of a steep, rocky hill, and seemed as if pearched among the clouds. The last approach to it was by artificial steps, for so sharp 'was the as cent that the foot could not have kept its holu without. " It was built of h iavy stone on the edc-e of a cliff, and on three sides had a sheer descent of five hundred i'eet, to where a mountain stream went brawl- ing rd foaming over its rocky bed. The , foundation stones wereimmense, and the whole massive structure, ' caused us Jto wonder zi thejabor and skill -.displayed in bringing them up such anTawful-bight and forming them into' an ; edifice destin ed to endure for centuries.' ' There was no r-ioat around the walls', and no ' need of any for with its hugh gates, its port cullis dropped, and its garrison on the alert, ten thousand men could not have taken it. We passed through a gloomy arch, a small ante-room, and entered a spacious hall, where there was everything to re call the days of feudalismfor the cas tle, notwithstanding the fearful name which the superstitious peasantry had given it, really belonged to a living count, who' took a pride in keeping it furnished as in ancient times, and a. pleasure ihpei' nulling strangers to'visit it. isoone had livtjd in it for.'agarter.pfra.century,; but persona were employed '.to'gol through it as often as once a' week, sweep and dust it. ani see that'eveVything was kept in i '.'.(.'';. ..!". s . ' order. 1 ' " . - . , From the moment we .entered it, till we had spent hours in passing through ihe different apartments, we were so deeply interested in looking at the antique furniture, the old-fashioned hangings, and the ancient implements .of war and the chase that wecorapletely lost sight of the terrors supposed to be connected with the place. . "Well, I fancy, we have seen all there is above ground worth looking at, and now suppose we go below !" I said to the guide, as we at length"returned from our explorations to'the grat hall.' ' r "" . , "Ko,V said the fellow, shaking his head , "I shall not go below J1? :: . "Why not?" ' r ; ' . "I dori'twant to tempt the devils!" .'Oho ! so the devils are down there, are they ?" "In the daytime." ' "But where are they in the night ?" 'All over, the castle." "bid you ever see any ?". "I never spent the night here, anU wouldn't for all the gold you gentlemen have got." Why, it seems you have become timid all of a sudden! When we asked for a guide to conduct, us to the Castle of Ghouls you were sent-to us ; and when we inquired if you had any fear of visit--ing thehaunted ' place, Vyou laughed in derisiuni and led ,us to" believe you " were above the superstitions of your class !" . "If I hadn'tperhaps you wouldn't have employed me," said the fellow, frankly. "You deceived then ?" "I have fulfilled my agreement in bringing you here and showing you over the castle." "But not all over it we have not seen the vaults and the dungeons." "And if you take my advice you won't eit'ner." "But suppose we decline your advice ?" "Then you can go down, if you choose but I don't r'.-.j -i7 What are you afraid -of ?", ii I . "Thcjy say the're are strange sights and . WKo'says?"' r 'Everybody who, knows." , j; ' ,v "But why down there any more .than up here ?" ' : "Because the demons love tle dark it is the same up here in the night." "And who ever saw or . heard any thing unnatural?" ' "Hundreds of people have heard strange noises here in the night, and have seen the castle lit up, when nobody was here, with different colored lights." "Of course somebody must have been hre, or they could not have been here to see themselves!" J ' "They saw from a distance ; they didn't dare to come - here they might ?, hate been carried off, or torn to pieces, or made blind, or "'" '" ' 1 : ' v ' - ' " " .-'Have -you discovered the trick !" chimed in ray friend, with a laugh.' "What say you, Bentley ?" he continued turning to me and speaking in English: "shall we leave this fellow out and go down by ourselves ? I am anxious to see and hear some of these wonderful things, though I certainly expect to be disappoint ed." ; ' : - 1 We were standing in the great hall, with the afternoon sun strearaiBjr in, in golden lines, through the high, narrow windows ; but as he ceased speakiDg, and before I had time to reply, the room sud denly became as dark as twilight, there was a sharp,; blind icgVfiash, followed in stantly by a clap of thunder that, made the whole rastle 'tremble.: These were all natural' manifestations for' a storm had suddenly collected, and a cloud pass ed over the sun but the effect was a little startling, I must confess ; and both my friend and I made a quick step back ward ; while the guide, with aery for mercy, fell upon his kness, jani,,uttered an Ave. Maria.,.- f ..-4 - r , , - Now; it is a fact let the; philosophy of it be what it may tha t if; at the moment of calm, unswerving courage, the nervous system,' by any means, receives a shock sufficient to- abate full confidence and let into the mind a single doubt, .that doubt may become the germ of an absolute ter ror, and cause the individual to display a cowardice that. neither he nor ..his m friends would have believed possible as witness the brave soldier, who has risen 4. ... , t high by pure merit, most shamefully dis gracing himself in some unfortunate hour of trial. In some slight degree this was the effect of the sudden. storm upon us at least I did not second my f.-iend's prop osition of goingdown intpthe vaults and dungeons and he did not repeat it. 1--. IThe.storm. that had pollected .Jsp j sud denly, soon became one of great fury the wind'-howling-and-shrieking around theloheljf' casriethe lightning' flashing, the thunder tra?hing, and the rain falling in torrents.'-: ; Was it; fancy, that,;i during the lull in the tempest,- gave'to our ears the strange noises of moans cries of dis tress, the clanking of chains, the creak ing of hinges, the banging of .doors? We each believed we heard those sounds, and my friend and I exchanged glances of wonder increasing to awe Awhile our timid and superstiticus guide shVunk back appalled, threw himself down in a cor ner, and buried his face in his hands. --What is it?" said my companion, in a serious ione ; and at that" moment ; a viv id" flash of lightning made'1' his face Lok , ,'fHearen knows!'': L answered ; . .4it certainly is not the -Triad. !3' iur-. . ' .'The' storm raged for hours one of the most fearful I ever witnessed and night dr,ew.orj wjth scarcely any abatement in the - tempest. The . whole atmosphere seemed surcharged with electricity. It came down from the heavens in forked chains, shivering trees and splitting rocks, and at times it danced and crinkled over the breast-plates, and morions, lance heads, spears and battle-axes that hung around the walls, producing most singu lar and ', startling ..effecp.;. There was a good deal nf wind among the clouds that kept them rushing to and fro, like armies charging and retreating on the field of battle.' The ratnt'meantime; came down like a'deluge, pouring a thousand streams down the mountain's sides," and filling the regular water-courses and .valleys with impassable. torrents. With courage, or without with demons, robbers, or unten anted halls without food or lights we saw we were shut in there for the night for it was almost certain death to at tempt to gain the plain below in the dark ness that had begun to gather- over the scene, ere we relinquished the hope of the storm passing onward by daylight. When our guide perceived the night coming rapid!yon, he started up in terror, and declared he must escape from .that awful place. We told him the result would be death., 'J.t; ,: ;.,.' "Better death with. God and nature, than 1 with the. spirits3 of the damned !" was his reply. , , - ' ' , We used everything, but force to Re tain him. He : would go, ' He; y went. Was it fancy again, or did we! hear a wild, hollow laugh as he plunged into the storm? Three days after, his .swollen and putrid corpse was found in a meadow, where the subsided waters had left it. In that lonely castle, on that dark night, in that terrific tempest, without food, without light, and with the strange noises I have mentioned, at longer or shorter intervals, sounding-in our ears, it will readily be perceived our situation was anything but agreeable. ', As night was now setting in fast, and we had light for the gloomy hours to fol low, 'we proceeded ' to arrange some, old, quaintly-carved, chairs," with' cushioned seats, on which to rest our weary limbs, and perhaps to sleep; and having, done this, we stretched ourselves upon them, in close proximity to each other. The storm now for the first time seemed to be passing onward the light ning was les3 vivid, and the thunder, though still heavy, gradually .grew more distant, while the wind blew less fiercely, and tbe rain began to slacken, leading us to believe that the worst was over. For the last half; hour, too, .with the excep tion of the wild laugh at the departure of the guide ;;we had heard nothing of the j strange noises which had caused us so much wonder, and . we began to indulge the hope that, -after all, we -should j have a peaceable night of it, and we gradually fell into a deep, heavy sleep. "- I vas awakened, I cannot tell how, with a sensation, rather than a conscious ness, of some strange, living body .being in the apartment. I raised myself upon my elbow, and looked around upon the inky darkness, but could perceive no ob- ject whatever and 1 was.jn . the act of mentally chiding; myself,- for. my foolish fancy, when a blinding flash-of jightning shohelin through . the .high, narrow win dows, arid for anvinstanf-rrevealed to my astonished gaze the figure of a. man, in a coat of mail, with.helmit on and yispr down, such as might. have , stood there some hundred of-years before. I was startled, 1 will not deny it. ' I thought of the place, and the strange noises and the strange tales I had heard, and could not decide in my own mind, whether I had caught a glimpse of an earthly. being, or an intangible apparition. A double dark ness followed the bright flash, and I -was left to the horror, of. uncertain . specula tion; ' . : . . ' ... Something, however, I felt certain I had seen something belonging either to this "world or the. other and with a cold thrillthat more nearly approaohed terror thaii anything1 -had;.ever.kncwn,-lTex--tiaiifledf X-i ,bb:K i! "In- the hame;of Gcd,' who !are you ? and vvhat d y6u seek?" i i -i -r'T -k: .-j . -There ;wa"s a momentary, silence, fol lowed by a loud, wild, hollow laugh, like that 1 had heard at the departure of the guide. ' ' ' '"What is it?" cried my friend, in ac cents of fear. ' As he spoke, there was a heavy, clank iLg sound, as of a man walking in armor; and a moment or two after, my compan ion shrieked out: " ' "Help f Bentley help ! ? somebody is strangling me !'r : : ". The sound of a fearful struggle; and another : hoarse laugh'1 from the- demon, reached "me at the ' same "caoment. Now really -'terrified !and oewlidered,T impul siVel, '1 may -Vay"' instinctively, sprung forward la'the darkness, and found my self in contact with the : unknovvnl He was tangible at least; and with; this knowledge my courage returned ; and 1 grappled with him as with a human foe, and the three of us rolled over and over on the floor together At last I got him by the throat, and held on like a tiger, and gradually choked the strength out of him ; and then my friend and I were able to manage him and keep him harmless the rest of that long, dreary,- night. , Daylight came at last, and showed our demon to be a raving maniac ! . , , Thus we solved the modern mystery of the haunted castle the Castle of Hohen berg misnamed, the Castle, of Ghouls How long he madman had lived there, keeping up his nightly clamor, and how he had obtained his food, we never ascer tained and never cared to know; enough for us that we had for the time laid the spirits of the place ! We kept our promise to the old man, and wrote him a thrilling narration of our adventures ; but the conclusion was doubtless widely different from what he had expected, and perhaps desired. SUCH A RATTER. A correspondent of the Brookly Times furnishes that paper with an amusing ac count of jhis ; experience with a terrier which he bought from a 'dealer on the recommen'datioa-tbat he-was "such a rat ter. '-rHe; Had softie trouble at first in getting a rat'on'whick'trj-'try his "pup.2' He' succeeded at r last; and says t;vo-; ! -'However the next day r was' fortunate enough to so secure from - a boy in the market a fine old-line bob-tailed rat, whos furious efforts to chaw everything within reach gave promise of glorious sport for Nip. Took the rat' home, called in my dog, and told my wife that if she want ed to see the way that terriers did rats to come down in the basement- She came down and shut the door, jusr in time, too ; for as soon as Nip saw the rat, he, Nip, my ratter, for which I paid the old gent $5, made a most unmistak ably, cowardly movement towards the hall Wife,.. or. a chair, said, the dog did not appear., to see the rat. Told-wife to keep her oreath. Thought I would not give Nip any reason" for not seeing the rat again ; so I tied the string that held the ral to dog's hind , leg. 1 He saw the rat that time, and jumped, on the chair by my . wife. Wife laughed and shoved him off. . Tried the stove next. Got off the stove without being shoved. . . . . . . t .... i The rat, however, being .an. old stager, and not being used to such treatment made a demonstration on Nip's rear, and I dont believe ' little Flora Temple ever made better time in the same limits than that dog. and rat made around the room. First heat, dog had the lead closely followed by the rat. who, on striking the half mile pole foot stool in tbe corner broke badly; in fact, nearly broke his back;' and before 'he could be brought down, (he' was sliding" on -his back) dog led him by the whole length of the string Did not step' for wind, but started on the second heat. Got off well together, tied and went fairlv round neck and tail, un- til they reached the judge's stand (wife standing on" a chair)" 'againstwhch the dog brought up solid," bringing the judge down in a style pre-eminently sudden, if not dignified. That" heat was. decided against dog, you may bet, and it was on-. ly after much, persuasion , that the judge would again take her stand. ' . -The; third heat may b.e aptly termed a dead heat. - They got off well apart ai the dog conveniently could, and sailed lively until just as they struck the Ia.'t quarter, when the rat, which run about as well on his back as on his legs, shied' the track, and got ratherqueenly wound around a table leg. Dog kept on aa fast' as the s'Ting1 and length of his hind leg would let him. . .On raisifig the rath was found, to be" noncompos, .totally de funct, in fact, dead.'.
