MURDER OUT.

Bnt th* wtteh I* (hat from my hou*e
te-slghl
She follow* mo ronod nil day, nil dny,
And etoon* n melody in my onr,
A shriek. n wall, nod * gurgling eooud,
Like tho (tub or blood, I'm doomed to
boor.
Bn! th* old, old hng! Her wUioood foe*
I* (rimed with filth nnd dust nnd rage,
•Tl* a pitiful light—* crniy erono,
Vigo roue with hate that pill nr* ago.
6b* heap* her faggot* and watch** the

Till it make* her teething eauldron ball,
Than fetch** the drought for me to drink.
And smear* oa k*r life ’ll* witch’* oil.
'Twill make me Ur* for ewer, and aye,
Uf* 'tin earth and sun are gone,
Kill death ltoolf; bnt the never lay*
'Twill kill th* (tain of the crime I’ve

Under her soar** Mack shawl the benr*
A blenohen skeleton, gaunt and grim;
And vow* it waa murdered by a man,
And the mutters a fiendish curse on him.
Whenever the meet* me alone, clone,
She hold* the ikeleton to my tight,
And point* It* fleshlets finger* at me,
' And chatters it* teeth in n perfect fHgbt
Then I knew, at last, thorn waa. murder

I knew a girl In her April day,
And, foolish child, she died, the died—
What’* that to me t The people tey
She was wronged. Ti* true, perhaps.
But the and her babe are out of sight—
And her bare white bone* the old witch
bring* iMI/'
And wishes to stand by my bed to-nigot.-'
I looked in her cauldron ty other day,
And law, a* it wire, in a mirror deep,
Deep—deep as hell—a woman lay
Dead, with a babe on her breast asleep.
The woman lay like a wearied one,
Stretched oat ou a couch, for an evening’s
rest,
But I was almost ready to swear I saw,
A dagger mark on her marble breast.
Her upturned face was tbe-violet face
Os th* girl I knew in the long ago,
And th* eyes of th* corpse were fixed on
me,
And a wail-like voioe seemed to mutter
“wo.”
She looked siraight through me, heart and
■ohl,
Red-hot and hissing, and stinging deep,
And the cursed hag muttered a gibberish
slang
That rung on my ear till it murdered
sleep.
I know jnst know she U standing without,
Waiting to come with her skeleton white,
Bnt I’ve nailed a horse-shoe over my door,
And barred my windows and shutters
tight
A SixgCLab Circumstance,—The
Culpepper (Vn.) Observer says: A Fau
quier correspondent has written us a
letter, from which we give the following
current facts:
About thirty-five years ago, a lady
was interred at Elk Run Church, in a
heavy black walnut coffin. The pprth
wherein her body was deposited was
dry and yellow, as it is for the most
part in that locality. Os two bodies
buried in the same grave, this 'lady’s
was laid deepest in the ground, and
there being occasion to remove the
bodies owing to the destruction of the
grave yard enclosure by «i»o Federal
army, the grave was dug up auew ; but
to the surprise of the digger, when he
had removed the upper coffin, he per.
ceived a quantity of hair, that had made
its way though the slits and crevices of
the coffiu. The lid being taken off, there
appeared a perfect rascmblance of a
human figure, the eyes, the nose, mouth,
ears, and all other parts, being verv
distinct, but from the crown of the head
to the soles of the feet, it was covered
with very long, thick and frizzled hair.
The gravedigger after examining it for
sometime, happened to touch the upper
part of the head ; but was more surprised
thßn before, ou seeing the entire body
shrink, and nothing at last remained in
hi3 hand but a bundle of rough hair,
which inseasibly assumed a brownishrgjl.
color. #-' ffi (j
Professor Rawls is of the opinion that
hair, woo!, feathers, nails, horns, teeth,
etc., are qothing but vegetables, and that
it is not, therefore, surprising to see them
grow ou the bodies of animals after their
death. He goes so far as to say these
productions may be transplanted as veg
etables, and may grow on a different
place from that where they were first
germinated.
A Safe Lock.—A new invention
called the needle latch, or patent un
mistakable lock, has jnst been intro
duced in England. It is simple in its
construction as it is composed of neither
more or less than steel wires—call them
needles, if yon like—strung together on
two stumps, attached to the miming bolt
upon which they revolve, and they re
quire to be liAed by the key to a posi
tion to admit of their being passed
through certain holes in a plate of brass,
and thus passing carry the running bolt
with them, which carries the real bolt.
The needles move obliquely, perpendic
ularly, laterally, and indeed, in any di
rection ; hence the difficulty in raising
all the needles simultaneously to their
required positions to run through their
own apertures, and escape the many
traps set before them in the shape .of a
number of holes pierced nearly half
way through the fence plate of the exact
size to fit the needles. In the more ex
pensive latches, as we have only been
describing. U»e cheapest ones, there are
protectors and detectors.
A 811 E Dkvii,.—A female school
teacher of Edetißburg, Cambria county,
Pa., recently whipped a little child of
Mr. John Tilair, until it was hardly able
to stand, because tho little fellow refused
to sit beside a darkey. The “martn’s”
name is “Eliza Jones.” She should be
sent to the Massachusetts Legislature to
keep company with the two negro fel
low* lately elected to that body.
