J It was about eleven o’clock at night,and having occasion to refer to some books in a distant part of the library, he left his desk, took his candle, and, as he I had done before, pursued his course I the winding passages towards! red spot. But before reaching I it, while in an alcove in the southwest I ,jurt of the older portion of the build-1 ng, he was startled by seeing a man, I respectably dressed incitixcn’sclothes, I surveying a shelf of books. The Doc-1 tor supposed it to be a robber who had I secreted himself for the purpose of ab-1 straotingsomeof -the valuable works in | the library; after stepping back behind I n partition for a moment, he again I moved cautiously forward, to catch a] {limpet of the individual’a face, when I o his surprise he recognised in the sup* I ] Kjsed robber the features of a physician I whose name we forbear giving) .who I iod lived in the immediate vicinity of I the library, and who had died aome six I weeks agol It should be borne ini mind that this deceased person was a I mere casual acquaintance of Dr. Ctogs-I WeU, not an intimate friend, and since] his death Dr. Cogswell had not thought | of him. I But the apparition was in the pres-1 enoe of a man not easily scared. Tbe| librarian, so far teom fainting or shriek-1 ing, ss might reasonably be expected, [ calmly addressed the ghoet: “Dr. — said he, ‘you seldom, if ever, visited this Library while Hving.- Wto dO you trouble us now when I Perhaps the* {host did not like the] sound of the human voice; any way, it gave no answer, but disappeared. I The next day Dr. .Cogswell thought | over the matter, attributed it to some! optical delusion, and in the evening I proceeded with his work' as usual.— | Again he wished to refer to some books, ana again visited the south-western alcove. There again, as large as I fe, was the ghost, very calmly end placidly sur veying^ the shelves. Dr. Cogswell again I spoketoitj— f> X|uk | you, why you who never visited tho L' brary while liv.'nr trouble it now whe deadT” Again the ghost vanished, and the undaunted librarian pursued his task without interruption. The next day he examined the shelves before which the apparition bad been seen standing, and! S a singular coincidence found that! ey were filled with books devoted tol demonology, witchcraft, magic, spirit-1 uatism, Ac. . Some of these beoks are] rare tomes, several centuries old, writ-] ten in La'in, illustrated with quaint] diagrams, and redolent of mysticism; While on the next shelves are their younger brethren, the neat spruce I works of modern spiritualists, of Brit- tan, Davis, Edmonds and others.
