O treacherous night? ’Thou lend’at thy ready yell to eyery treason, Aud teeming misehiel thrives beneath the shade. Aaron Hill. Mr. Colebrook was dead. He was a rich man, yet a slight acquaintance with him, would have convinced even a superficial observor that he was not a healthy person, no was a misonthropic in his views, though he had the reputation in the street of be ing a very kind-hearted, and benevolent man. Every day seemed to usher him in to the arena of anew strifo with the powers of misery. Apparently ho was tired of life, and impatiently wailed for tbc hour that had now como, and which put him boyond the trials and woes of this Bubluminary ex istenoe. And yet many could remember when ho was a gay nnd cheerful person. Boforo his marriage with a poor but beautiful girl, some seven years before his death, he had worn a Runny smile, and his life seemed to him a pleasant dream. Though only thfiTTfiver when he rWnr ried, people said there was too much dif ference between his own age and that of bis wife, who was, I bolieve, about twenty two. She had been poor, and foiced to content herself with but few of tbo gaieties of life; but now she was rich, ar.d her in dulgent husband gnvo her freo access to his coffers. Wealth fostered pride, and Mrs. Colebrook became a lender of fashion —the gayest of tho gay. Her beauty and influential position in society made her ft queen, and her smile was courted by the brilliant and dissolute. The house, when she was at homo, was always filled with gay gallants and lordly ladies. All Iho world could roe this; and the next thing it B.nw was,that Mr. Colebrook grow sad and melancholy—that his wife was cold to him, and there was little if any’sym pathy between them. Tho people said the poor man had married badly. and the oroak ovs all “knew it would be so.” Mr Colt brook was dead. Whatever woes h and weighed lin down, ho was beyond their reach now. People said ho had died of a broken heart ; that the whirl of pleasure in his own houso had boon a hell to him; and that this gay wife had been the scorpi on who stung him to death. For my part, I pay but littlo attention to the busy tonghe of the gossip. I account ■ill it says, whether good or bad, as mere slander. Whatever stories 1 had heard con ecrningMrs. Colebrook,and I had hearl ma ny—passed‘ in rne ear amt out tho other.” “Mr. Mortal,’* said a man at tbc door. “That is my name.” “Mr. Colebrook is dead, and Mrs. Cole brook wan’s you to como up to tho house and lay him out 1” “Mr. Colebrook !” I exclaimed, for the intelligence was very unexpected to me, as well as to the city, when it was announced. 1 bad heard that he was sufF ring from an attack of bilious cho!i'\ but it had not boon even rumored that that he was danger ously ill. “Yes he is dead,” replied the mar ; Mrs, Colebrook wishes you to make haste.” “I didn't know he was sick.’, “He got very bad lent night, and grew worse ever since, till twenty minutes age, when he died.” Mr. Colebroek’s house was not fivo min utes’ walk from home, and I hastenod there to perform the offico f r the dead I was shown into the room whore the corpse lay, just as death had done its work. The suf ferer had apparently tlied in the greatest agony. Tho bed ckthcs evidenced the struggle between the tyant and the victim. With the assit-tancc of a man servant who had gone to my house, I leid him out and put tbc room in ord‘ r. I was about to deprrt whoa the man ser vant called me hack. Mrs. Colebrook would liko to soc you,” he said, as he sbwod me to a parlor in front of tbo room in which the eorpse lay. She appeared to he in the deepest dis tress, and the family physician was still pres ent, using his best efforts to reduce btrto a state of calmness. He fuccccdcd to some extent ; and she spike to mo with a tolera ble self-possession. ,‘You will mako all the arrangements Mr. Mortal,” mid she. “I will, madam.” “Oh , it was terrible 1” groaned she. “Be calm, Mtf. Colebrook,” interposed Dr Rowne. “1 canni t doctor; I feci as though I should become distracted.” “Nay mtidatn, con’ol yourself,” said the doctor, who was yiing and very good look ing man, took her hand and uttered some sentimental rema. k, which I havo now for got tm. “Will you w.tch with him ?” sin almost gasped, looking eagerly at me. “Watch with him T asked Dr. IDwnc in surprise. “Yes.” “ft. is entirely unnecessary.” “This cerpro mnst, have watchers,’ she added, moro calmly than she had yet spoken. “There is no need of that’ but ‘ I would not have him left alone for all tho world,” she said, with a kind of convul sive thiver. • “No possible harm can befall him.” “But i’ poems so neglectful to desert the body as soon as the spirit has fled ” “It is entirely a matter of choice,” I ad dcd. “Couldn’t you watch with him Mr. Mor tal ?” ‘ If you particularly dc.-irc it.” “I do ; I could not bear to have bis re mains guaided by a mere servant. You will obligo me very much ” I consented to the arrangement,"and prom ised to return by nine o’clock in the even ing. After ordering thi coffin fur tho deceased —for at that time they were not kept on hand to such an extort a» they arc now— and attending to my private affairs, I again repaired to the Colebrook mansion. It was customary at the time of which I write for two persons to perform the service for which I was engaged, though watching was then gob g rapidly oot of fashion j but as my business was with the dead, I was perfectly ut home in the chamber of death, nnd was even better satiificd to bo alone than wi h company. I had brought an in teresting book from home and Mrs. Cole brook hud provided a 'very interesting re past for mo in tho dinidg room below, so that I looked forward to a very comfortable night. Throwing myself into u largo rock. iDg chair, which had been placed there for my use, I was soon engaged in the enter taining pages of my book. As often as the clock struck I aroso and examined tho corpse moistening tho faee with alcohol, and wip ing away tho purging at the mouth. At eleven o’clook someone entcrod the house and caino up stairs. They were tho feet of a man, and I heard him enter a par lor adjoining the room of doath. Though it seemed rather ningulav that a man should enter the house ut that time of night, I thought uothing more of it, till I heard voices engaged in earnest conversation. In a few minutes they grew louder, and more distinot, and I recognized the voico of Dr. Kowne. Perhaps Mrs. Ooloboooks was qigk und needed assistance. But he spoke not in the tones of Ins profession. Tho o’hor person spoke in a whisper; but the doctor spoko in his natural voico, and seemed to bo under no restraint. The bouse was still as the tomb, and al though I made no effort to hear what was said, the expressions, “will,” “three witness es, “thirty days,” and o*t era of a similar character, came distinctly to my cars They aroused my curiosity. Who was this Dr. It >wne ? Why was ho there at this un seasonable hour ? Well, it was nono of my business, and a half a dozen times I dot ruiincd not to con cern myself about it. But it was in vain that I tried to fasten my mind upon the book that I was reading, it had lost tbc power to interest me. I glanced at a door which opeuud into the room wbero the speakers were. It would he moan to baton, and I would not do it. It was in May, and the weather was quite chilly. I had neglected to bring any extra clothing with me, and I began to foci uno mfortab’y cold. I rose and paced the room several minutes, “Both wills” came to my hearing in the unguardod tono of Dr lt-iwne. I paused aud 1 oked at the door. Appar ently the other person whom I doubted not was Mrs. Colebroi ks, was speaking, but I heard nothing I threw myself into a chair, and began to shiver with the eold again. On the table, lay a clean Marseilcs quilt, which had boon left thereby a servant, and in the absence of anything better, I unfolded it, nnd thrtw it over my shoulders. I com pletely enveloped my body, aud I felt quite c 'infertablc again. “Destroy the new w 11," said Dr. Rowne. I dropped my book, for this looked like foul play. It occurred to uio that Mr. Cole brooks poor relations would have to suffer for this midnight confirenco. I knew he had an only sister, an invalid who was de pendant upon his bounty for support, and my blood boiled with indignation as I thought of what may be the result of thin midnight interview. I arose from my chair and went to the dorr. That the end wil justify the means, I do not- think is sound logic, but where a poor slid ring woman was in danger of br ing east upon tho tender mercies of a cold world, I was content to be blamed for the meanness of eavesdropping, if tlureby I could prevent so loul a wrong. Before I did it. I uould net but recall the reputed character of Mrs. Colebrook. Without heieiving muches the gossip that had bean circulated about her, I coull ea ily arrive at tho conclusion, that she was the banc of li r husband's hippi r o s. I bad been personally acquainted with him, who now lay cold in doath before me, m that I was not obliged to guess at the facts in the case. My own observation, although I moved iu a humbler sphere thin she, wsh sufficient to asturc mo that all was not right. I placed my rar to tho keyhole. “When wo are tnarriid” “Hu-h” said Mrs. Colebrook. They spoke iu whiipers then, and I could distinguish oothing Need 1 havo heard more ? Woman—angel or devil. Was it she who had wept great tears in my j re-omce, who had trembled in the ag ony of grits before me, now calmly plotting with the paramour, bargaining away the af fections, which should have ling-red like a wcepiog angel around the c 'Ueh of him, who was not yet buriod out of sight ? Wa it she who had grnrned in the bit crncss of bereavement, now plot-ring to rob Lcr sister aud orphan of their bounty. “Oh, woman, false as fair! Yet she is not a women—she is a denit n !’’ The c'ock struck twelve, and I turned from my n flections to attend to the corpse. The alchohol that had been provided to wot the face, was all ii»ed up, ar.d I needed a further supply. Taking the dish in my haul, I went to the do'r, with tl:e intention of calling Mrs. Colebrook for it. Fir. t rap, ing at the door net to supp>r?sc tbcnq I opened it, and stepped into tho room. “I need a little more alchohol, Mrs. Cole br< ok,” I began. She rose Irom the elixir, and with one of the most unearthly shrieks fell upon t he floor. Ur R >wne’s kne s smote each other, aud ho shrank back into tue furthest corner of the room. ‘■Who are you ?” he gasped. Os course I was very much surprised at this singular reception Long familliaiities with the deed, have made mese indifferent to tbojc dreads and fears tl at disturb so many p efions, that I bad litilo considera tion f r nervousness on this subj-wit “Who aro you” groaned the doctor, his teeth chattering wilh terror. Then it flashed upon my mind, that the quilt which enveloped my body was the cause of all tho uiischcif. I was involunta rily personating tbc ghost of the dcceaiel Mr. Colebrook, and I do not wonder that tho guilty wife and wretched accomplice were terrified when at midnight, I stalked into the room. I had pinned tho counterpane around my neck, so that nothing could of me but my head. 1 was a ghovtly spectre coming— How awful m (hut hoar, wb-:a cou.itc -.a ouugt - to curse her for tho base troihcry she was concooting. No wonder, she fainted, no wonder oven tho dootor trcmblod. I threw off tho quilt, and showed the doc tor who I was. “Sec what you havo dono” said ho point ing to tho prostrate lady. “I hoard snmo voices horo, and I came lor some alchohol.” “Need you have ooir.c in that garb.” “I had quito forgotten that I had the quilt on.” “You havo killed her, I bcloivo,” said ho, bending over tho prostrate form of Mrs. Colebrook. Wo raised her up and placd her upon a lounge. Sho was not dead, aud presently opened her eyes. “Whero is ho ?” gasped she shaking con vulsively, “Be calm.” “Ho will haunt mo all mv days.” “It was only Mr. Mortal.” Her eyes glared upou mo and then rolled up in her bead. Hoavon grant that I may never soe Buch"a hideous expression again She was in a fit. Tho houso was alarmed, anj Dr, Rowne used every exertion to restore her, hut with out success. “She will die,” ho exclaimed savagely, “you have billed her * “Which will did you destroy, doctor?'’ said I. 110 staggered into the eorncr of the room unable to reply- 110 would never onuso me again, and yet I promised not to oxpo.se him, but it was in defence to the invalid sister, of the deoased that I allowed myself to bo quirt in tho prescnco of infamy. Before daylight there was another corpse in the house, and it was told for two months cftcrwnrd that Mrs. Colobro k had been killed by tho shock of her bnsband’s sudden death. . \ I buried thorn b th’two days after, and had the pleasure of scing tbo fortune pass into iho hands of the poor and deserving sis tor, I have never seen or hoard from I>r Rowno from that day to this.
