Well, .so be it ; I have not found the world .such tin altogether delifjlitfui place licit I tun iu'consolahle stt the thought of separating from it for good. Here, at least, I have nothing worse than my own thought and solitude; and, besides 1 have one recollection that alwav.j keeps nie jubilant. My other self, diajudical "double," that infernal Ihh.ig that was neil her shadow nor substance or, rather, which was both is for ever disposed of, and that out of the ..way, I can enjoy , my .self even here.

An uncle -who had .not sret eyes on cither of ujfor. two and;, twenty years, died in a town of Java, v. here he had immense pos sessions; and it was found, when his papers came to be overhauled by the legal gentleman, that 1 had beeu re membered, and J'a.iil forgotten. Through this piece of luck I became the richest man iu the county. I.for- i get the exact amount: of my wealth,, and the thought of figures confuses nie, but." it' 'was something prodigious. People talked about it, and I read p-ir agraphs c.oncerrin:g myself in thetlaily papers. dy brother professed to congratulate me, and warmly seconded my propo sition to jplebrate mjr gooil fortune by a trenieiidoui carouse, to which all our mutual friends and acquaintances shouhl be bidtlen. The more 1 thought over the idea, the better it pleased me; and we spent a day itfTuling up the blanks to printed invitations, that were issued far and wide. ; - 1 At the api)ointed time tny guests made their appearance. Tins great mansion was one glare of light from basement to attic.- ' Hie 'last arrival came about mid night, and in singular fashion. The carriage in which tie rode was an ex traordinary affair, consisting of a close Ik:c painted b!ackr but relieved by al ternate spots ot blue and crimson, mounted on a pair of wheels at least fifteen feet in diameter, in color blood red. ? The: vehicle was drawn by a w hite horse, with black mane and tail, and ft' creature that looked as though he-might bo a cross between a drome dary and zebra. The driver, who oc cupied a sort of pulpit on the roof of the carriage,' was a gigantic negro, with a no:se like the proboscis of a tapir; and one great eye, that glittered with the dull red light of a carbuncle. The place where the other visual organ should have been was covered by some thing that looked like -a scollop shell, which was held in its place by a fillet of red tape. As this strange equipage drew up before my door, the hideous charioteer seemed to apply his foot to an under spring, a door in - the rear flew open, a ladder of ropes rolled down, by means of which a gentleman descend ed. 1 stepped" forward to bid hhn welcome, although I could not remem ber that them was any invited guest yet to come, but stopped within a pace of him iu utter bewilderment, lie istood In tlie strong light of a brilliant lamp, which revealed every feature perfectly, and I , saw that the?e were the exact counterxart s of my own. ; The man, the tiling, the phintom whatever it wa. smiled in a half ine briated kind of way, and extended an ungloved hand, upon the fourth linger of which gleamed a great sapphire. ; Involuntarily I held out my hand to meet the proffered civility, and it clos ed on nothing; and, at the same mo ment the great negro with. his carbun cle eye shouted to his internal steed, and dashed away into the darkness. 1 wa3 exceedingly perplexed, and possibly a little startled for every sane person must admit that it is really a very extraordinary thing to have a substantial looking hand, with a spark ling sapphire on the finger, revolve itself into mere space in one's grasp; but the thing smiled cordially, although with something of a drunken leer ; and I concluded thatv all things con sidered, it was better to speak to it. , i " I am delighted, to , sec you, Mr . . - N'ot knowing what naturally hesitated. ,o-t !" the apparition salt!, iu a i'oviat, rollicking voice, frightfully "like mine, as near as I could "judge." - Kyam f.od !" am Itn,' I repeated, nmazedly, " What a singular name! lint, pos sibly, I do not understand you !" ""S ftr a pronunciation goes, yes. As. to orthography, doubtful. But h -re is my '"card." I took the delicate bit' of pasteboard' tli.it was tendered to me. and read the name, Kyam Iost," with consider able mystification. 'I hope 1. do not intrude," my visitor proceeded, evidently finding some little dillictilty iu the articula tion of his words ; "but being in this trt of the country by accident, and having a strong desire to make the personal acquaintance of a gentleman famed for hi.s wealth and hospitality, 1 took the liberty of stopping to have a chat with you over a social glasV. Colt id I dt.tain you in private tev minutes?" .- ,. : -"-.'. " I am .entertaining a large com pany, a s you will perceive, to-night,". I, said hesitatingly ; '-but perhaps I can excuse myseif for the brief period j'ou mention. ,1 w ill ee." . " That's a gootl fellow!" was tlie free and ea-j rejoinder. And at t!ieime instant, the identi cal hand that, a moment or two before, had melted into air when I w ould have grasijed it, dealt me a Itearty blow on the back. ..; This familinrity .would have irri tated me hatl it not been apparent tluit the the person, let us call him, was slightly in his cups. As it was, ; 1 rather stinly batle hini follow me to the house, .and .-conducted him to a small room, opening out of my lib rary, wiier 1 left him, and went in pursuit ot Basil. I found' my brother in the drawing room, where our guests .were arranging themselves tor tne first quad rille, i beckoned Basil aside, and with a elenrness and distinctness which I consider highly creditable under cir cumstances so uncommon, explained to him all that had happened, and de eeribed thej remarkable visitor who was at that moment beneath our roof. 110 looked hard at me, and there was tb 'outline of an expression on hLs face that I never saw before. I am not of a suspicious nature, but it flashed into my mind in an instant that this brother of mine was plotting to possess liimself of my great in heritance, through some cunning scheme that I could not fathom. ' But I kept the discovery to m3'self ; and telling htm to excuse nie to my friends for a few moments, I went 'back to the little room where I had left the new-comer. I found him seated at a round table, with a bottle of brandy in his hand, from which Ifc, was tilling a crystal goblet. On the opposite tide of the board stood a huge white owl, with eyes of amethyst, that winked inces santly in the strong light; and upon the great antlers of a deer, suspended just above hW head, a monstrous ana conda coiled in writhing convulsions. "In the name of heaven, where did that serpent come from ?" I cried, starting back iu terror. " It's only a pet of mine," my guest answered, glancing up at the reptile; "perfectly tame, and harm less as a kitten. C'ome down here old fellow!" The snake obeyed, atxl colled itself upon the table between the the man and the owl, ; who caressed it with his great yellow claw. ' You, see I'm making free with your capital brandy, " my visitor said, smiling. " Let me fill a glass for li IT-1 1. f m n seizing a moment before Iiad been so like, hatl ; undergone a sitni.ar and simultaneous cliange. i I turned to a minor that hung upon a wall behind me; and horror of horrors ! my other ttlf and I were still the. exact counterpart of ' each other. , , , . , . j "T'ieud .' von liave bewitched me !" j i cneu, ru -nn;g forward, and the thing bylhc throat.: Jt was palpable flesh and blood how. : 1 shook it 1 buJfetod.it I burled it uimh) the floor, and stamped upon it. ; The great serpent writ lied out at the w indow, leaving a trail of light ''and : j ti musky odor behind ; the owl Hew up, and alighted on the antlers of the deer, ; and winked at me approvingly. Then there was the hurried tramp of many i. feet ; the door wa s burst open ; 1 was ! overborne with numbers, forced down j to the floor, bound with cords, and the.n I became insensible.

The foregoing manuscript wo; written by a patient who has been for the last eleven months an inmate of : this institution, with little pros-; peet of ever leaving it alive. In a fit of delirium tremens,, he killed his only brother, upon whose generosity he had lived for many years, and, since tliat time, he has written and ? related something like this story a '-multitude-of times. - It has occurred to me that it might have a good effect upon him to see it in print.

I took the glass he handed ine, and gave attention, sitting well back from the table, meantime, With its fctrange occupants. ' You must know," he said, "that I come m a friend.

Give me your hand.? . Again he extended tlie hand where upon 'sparkled the great . sapphire again I essayed to clasp it, and again my fingers closed on nothing. A brooding honor now began to spring up in my mind, impossible to describe, terrible to remember. , I gazed help lessly at my new .friend ; and, as I gazed, his features tuiderwent a won-dei-ful change. Great blotches appear ed on cither cheek, the v eyes became bleared and watery, his Iiair grew' un kempt and tangled, , and a dreadful palsy seemed to take possession of his whole frame. , -.;' - The owl winked at me with his ame thvst eves, and I fancied that he in tended to convey a hint that we, who !

Mr. M., an army surgeon, was very fond of a joke (unless erpetrated -at his own expense,) and had, moreover, a great contempt for citizen officers, who were renowned more for, their courage than their scholarship. , One day, at mess, after the decanter had performed smidry, perambulations of the table, . Captain S., a brave, and accomplished otticer, and a great wag, remarked to tlie doctor, who had been somewhat severe in his remarks on the literary deficiencies of some of the new officers- - : " I )octor M., are you acquainted with CaptahfG ?" ; Yes, I know him well," replied' the doctor ; "he is one of the new set. But what of him?" ' ' ; " i -"Nothing in particular. I have just l-ecciveil a letter from him, and I will wager yon" a dozen of old port that' you cannot guess in six guesses, jiow ho spells Cat."

" No, that's not the way ; you've lost your wager, " said S. " VVrell, said the doctor, with much petulance of manner, "how does he spell it?" Why. he spells it c, a, t," replied S., with the utmost gravity of man ner, amid the roar ot the mess, and almost choking with rage, the doctor sprang to his feet, exclaiming " Captain S., I am too old a man to be trifled with in this manner !"

The courtly merchant heard ; tiic Freuchman'S ; patriotic declara tion in a styl considerably ' different ' from that of the three act drama which God-blcsscs-j-ou-mj'-children and adds ' several pillow-cases of gold and jewels. The eyes of the old. man were filled ' with tears, and the disclosure which he ; insisted upon making ran as follows : ' Some two year previous he, too, WEARIED IN MIND AND BODY, j Had started out on n t pleasure jaunt -tluit letl him tlirongh the Golden Horn into the eitj' of Constantinople.
