Whether, as Mr. PallatU houesUy believes, the soul can In certain raru Instances leave the body aud wander up and down the spirit world like a dojr in a fair, prying into the secrets of the dead, or whether those events were merely the result (to quote the doctor h "Martin Chuzzlewil") of a "most extraordinary happy and favorable conjunction oi circum stances," will forever remain a uiytery me. . , When I srot Into bed that niRht my brain was in a whirl, and 1 should have been glad to exchange nerves with a cat. The unusual quantity of wine I bad drunk, the dazzling splendor of the state drawing-room, the awful midnight tragedy of a century ago, and the llfo-llko irtralts of the jwinciiwi actors seemed to forbid tho very Idea of sleep. But when 1 thought myself aiost wide-awake I began to doze oa and was soon "as fast as a church." How long It hud lasted 1 could not tell, wheu I woke with a start, and for the thini time In my me found myself alouo In the dark. I stretched out my tiand for the matches, but they were gone, and at the same time the luminous glare appeared upon the wall. Thea the room, with its one tall opeu winuow, me broken furniture, the case of stuffed birds, and the two llgures of my former visions developed rapldlv. i could see the last plainly enough now a man in a long horse man's coat and brown boots with great sil ver spur, a woman in along white wrapper, with fair hair Mowing over her shoulders nearly to the ground, and they stood to geihcr by the table reading from a large shest of paper which they held between them, by tho light of a single candle in a tall silver candlestick. Occasionally tbey turned their faces toward mo with an anx ious expression, as if they were listen hg for something, and I Immediately rccagnized two of tho portraits In tho statcgsrawlng room. Suddenly they started vioMitly, the man rushed to the window antlaleaped out, tho woman thrust tho papers Into her dress, and a second man with afdrawn swonl Hashing in his hands da.shosT iuto tho room and through the winddW in pursuit of the fugitive. Then tip woman drew Aut tho Daiicrs and tri to tear them, but they must hav been parch - ment, and she failed; she the llama of tho candle, only began to shrivel, and them over ae corner not burn. At last she turned to one o dirty prints which opened at her touch. the document into a cavity in the wall, anw ro iiniiii thnaocrture. fell headlong Urho cround. 1 could not have borne rau more, when there was a glare of light In my eves, a hand shook mo roughly by the hhouldcr, and a voice (Pullatti's) exclaimed : "Good heavens!

"Whv, I felt so nervous and wakeful after Sir George's entertainment that I couldn't sleep, and as I got worse and worse. 1 thought 1 would see if you were in the same pligbt. Tou certainly seem to have been no better off than Land I think we had better stick together and keep ourselves awake by talking till daylight doth appear." "Most willingly," 1 said, "and 1 will be gin by tailing you my vision like a modern Pharaoh, and perhaps you may bo aolc to cxjHJund it, O Joseph. There may be noth ing in it, or every thing, who knowai" The nex- morning, after an almost un tastcd breakfast. Sir George, PallatU and I were prosecuting a vigorous search in the haunted wing, but after an hour of hunting and poking into every hole and corner, we came reluctantly to the conclusion that theri was nothing corresponding in the re motest degree with the room of my vision. The case of stuffed birds and the dingy prints were especially conspicuous bv their absence. We wero walking away, silent and disap pointed. Sir George and I leading the way, and had nearly reached the door which shut off the wing from the rest of tho bouse, when a shout from PallatU, who had been following at a little distance caused aa to stonv "Eureka ! Eureka!" he almost screamed: "I oagbxtn have seen it at a glance! Come back both of vou: we shall know all about it in Ave minutes." The usually calm and impsasive Mr. Pal latU waa in aach a violent state of excite ment that we almost feared for his reason, but we obeyed him and returned upon our steps. Without hesitation he went straight into a room called the best bed-chamber, in one corner of which there still stood the great iron chest from which the fatal Ulle-deeds had been abstracted, and taking a foot-rule from his pocket carefully measured the wall oa one side of the door nine feet. Then he came out iatotbe corridor, which was panneled throughout with dark oak from floor to ceiling, aad measured off sine feet from the side of the door oa the outside, marked the place with a deep score of his knife. Transferring his atteatioa to the next room (known as the blue-bed chamber.) he scored off seven feet. His discovery waa patent eaeugh now. Agsia applying his rule to the space betweea the two scores, it wasat once seen that there were elevea feet of walluaaccoaated fer. 'Thereisacaraeaterat work dees ay,' pasted PallatU; "we saw aim as we cam up. Rue, say dear Hoaghtoa. aad aria aim terearitahmteola.'

With ose touch of his fiagrra the picture flew open, and putting ia his hand he pulled out a mass of crumpled parchment.

Hhe South attained an almost unexampled spority until rather a recent date, 10t WHO IIMU not tho opportunity ojr witnessing the manner in which thoac industries wow presented, can fortri but a faint idea of tho skill, judgmet and capital neces sary to success. It is owing to the ab sonco of theso conditions during some years pat. more than to any othr cause, that almot even' attempt to eontiriuo tho culture, on a largo seal.'. of tho loading staples of tho South has resulted in disastrous failure. Tho cli mate and soil are the same, tho plant-r has lost none of his skill, tho former ) labor of tho country still remains, and thn dhTerenco in expense between free and involuntary labor is not &o imjort- ant iinXcleiivnt as to affect tho general result; but it is the difficulty, or rather tho impossibility, of rvgulating thin labor iu tho most efficient manner, which now constitutes tho greatest im pediment in profitable planting. In following this course of remark. It is not ray intention to express any opin ion on past public events. They havo passed into tho domain of history. It was deemed necessary, however, to state procnt facta anil difficulties ex actly as they exist, for the purine of drawing the deductions to which they inevitably lead, namely, tho absolute necessity of abandoning. In groat part. the old svstcm of planting, and of sub stituting in ita place such a diversity of crops as will enable the cultivator to derivo from several smaller sources an equal or greater amount of revenue than was formerly derived from the cultivation of a single leading staple, to which every thing was made sub servient. For though it may take years to cosvince tho Southern planter that what was formerly the source of o much profit oust still continue, under favorable circumstances of season and prices, to afford him a handsome in come, he will be convinced at last, and the sooner the belter, that the planting business can never nourish again In the South under the altered conditions of tho country, even if It were desira ble that it should, which. Indeed, may be well questioned. Afo Bulgt Origin of tUac.rleal Terms. The technical terms ued in regard to electricity refer to units of rariona nature.
