THE HOUSE IX THE MIBKOR.
It was late one winter evening. The
now was 'falling in thick, fast-coming
flakes, making a white curtain that was
1erpwtaallj being let down between
tearen and earth.- The storm was car
rjing on wild sport round the house,
shaking the windows, beating against
the thick walls, and murmuring in deep,
hollow tones in the chimneys. It was a
night for warm, cozy, substantial indoor
comfort, and such I resolved to make it.
. At the period of which I am writing I
was still a young man, and was practi
cally successful as a doctor in a
town in the west of En eland a tol
erably large; Jausy county town which
lies Terr near the borders of both De-
vonshire and Somersetshire. I was un
married, and was living with an old
housekeeper and one servant girl, who
helped her by turns, now above stairs,
-1 1 1 . 1
because the 'semi-blind nesa and deafness
of the good lady made interviews with
1 A , A. I 1 . 1 .1.
scullery not only practicable but easy,
On the evening in question I had come
in what we medical men call "healthily
tired, after a hard day s work in my
professional duties, and I was now sit
ting cozuy by tne Diasmg nre in my
dining room, -with a glass of good claret
on tne little round table at my aide.
My thoughts went wandering to and
fro lazily, now resting npon some of the
most interesting cases among my pa
tients, now fluttering around a pretty
pietuie of my only eipter and her first
baby, which ber letter, received this
morning from India, had called up: now
straying into the stable to visit my bay
norbe a new purchase, which I flat
tered myself did no small honor to my
judgment in horse flesh. Gradually,
however, all these subjects of pleasant
reflection slipped into a mass and got
myself gazing, without feeling the le-ist
surprised, at an odd vision, which
showed me my sister mounted on my
pet bay with the baby in her arms, wfio,
instead of a baby's face, bad the face of
my neighbor and patient, old Mr. Spioer,
the grocer, and soon after that, I was
sunk into a peaceful slumber, where no
dream ever came to disturb me.
How long I slept I do not exactly
know, but I recollect 'I awoke with a
start, roused by the clock on the chim
ney piece, whioh had a peculiarly ring
. in?, clear sound, strike eight. I sat up
right with a jerk and looked around with
that vaguely uncomfortable feeling which
often follows sudden waking. My glance
happened to wander up to the mirror
which was over the chimney piece. Why
was it. that as I gazed at it, I uttered
low exclamation, ana men snutmy eyes,
thinking that sleep ' must still be re
tainioa its power over me, and that
must be dreaming a strange, fascinating
dream?
But, no, I certainly was not dreaming,
for there it was, just as it had been be
fore. Fix my 'eyes as steadily as
might upon the mirror, with all my
wakeful faculties concentrated upon it
in eager earnestness.it was still there.
I looked away and fastened my look for
a minute or more npon my mother s pic
ture which hung over the sideboard.
Then my eyes were allowed to return to
the glass: but this maneuver was use
less also it would not go, do what I
would. .
What I saw was certainly no alarming
vision, though its appearance, there in
the mirror, over my dining-room chim
ney piece, was remarkable and startling
enough, to say tbe least of it. In the
parts reflected simply and naturally the
pnmmnntiliu'fl nhipcta in th rnnm p.hnira
and tables and window curtains, there
appeared a small but vividly distinct pic
ture of a house and garden. It was a
very pretty house, its foont covered on
one side with a green creeper, which was
spangled with starry white blossoms,
and -oa the other with a fresco such as I
had heard described as existing on the
walls of houses in Italy, where I had
never been a fresco representing an old
woman sitting with a basket of oranges
at her feet. There were four windows,
two up stairs, two down, exactly over
each other; they were all half shaded
with green blinds, and I could see that
the top one, on the right hand side, was
slightly open. Up the garden there ran a
broad gravel walk, with soft fresh turf,
gemmed with flower bWU on either side
of it. The inclosure was fenced round
with a rather high woodeu paling, and in
one corner of it there stood a summer
house, with a quaintly shaped roof that
had something of a pagoda about it.
Over the whole there was spread a soft,
silvery light, as though a bright, full
moon was shining down upon it. A yel
low gleam, as of a lamp burning within,
stole through the open window and min
gled with the white rays without.
I laid mj fingers on my pulse. Was I
going last into a raging lever. My pulses
were ax steady as they were when I rose
that morning after a night's sound sleep. I
I tested my brain by going through, in
my mind, all the symptoms and features
in a difficult and perplexing case which
had been lately under my cre; my mind
acted as coolly and calmly and regularly
as it had ever done.- 1 repeated to my
self several passages of poetry trom
different authors in different languages;
they came as quickly and easily to my
tongue as if I had been reading them
from a printed book. I gazed around,
and fixed my eyes on various objects in
the room, to see whether I should be
subjected to other optical illusions; but
to all other points my eyes were as rea
sonable as they usually were; they
showed me nothing but tbe familiar
chairs and table, and the well known
pattern of the paper on the wall. Then
I looked back at the mirror. The house
was still there, j,
' Had I been reading latfly a descrip
tion of such a house, or had I lately seen
anywhere a picture like it? Either of
these things might possibly have left a
vivid impression on my mind which
might have accounted for the strange de
lusion. I was not, however, able to recol
lect, search my memory as I would, that
a book or a painting had brought such a
house and garden before my thoughts. I
was naturally neither excitable nor im
aginative; 'indeed, I was generally re
garded by every one who knew me, and
by myself into the bargain, as one of the
most prosaic, rational beings in the
world. My fancy had never before played
me the smallest trick, even as I rode
home, worn out with watching by a sick
bed, on the darkest night; even in the
many painful scenes full of death and
gloom, through which my professional
life had led me. In the dissecting room,
in the severest operation, my hand had
always been as steady as if I were peel
ing an orange. All this made the pres
ent incomprehensible vision yet more
utterly inexplicable. Besides, even while
gazed at it, I knew that X had never
felt more calm and collected and morein
an ordinary condition of body and mind
throughout mv very common-place, very
busy history.
Would another pair of eyes see the
house in the mirror? I wondered. With
a hurried hand I rang to test this point,
and summoned my housekeeper, who
generally herself waited on me. This
good lady's name was Mrs. Trie key. It
is a common Devonshire name, let it at
once te understood by those who are
not aware of the fact, and it is in no
way meant to hint at any unpleasant pro
clivities or unwarrantable whims on the
worthy dame's part; 6Le was as honest
and simple minded a woman as ever
bandied a bunch of keys.
'Mrs. Trickey, I have rung for you to
ask you to do a very simple thing," I
said hesitatingly, now that she was pres
ent, scarcely knowing how to begin;
for I felt, if I spoke out plainly, mv
housekeeper must infallibly think that I
had sadden lv taken leave of my senses.
"What will 'ee please to have sir?" re
plied Mrs. Trickey, in true Devonshire
fashion.
"Mrs. Trickey r will you please to look
in tne glass over the chimney-pieci l
blurted out abruptly, not knowing how
else to find out what I wanted to di
cover.
"Get along with your nonsense, Mas
ter Fred," cried Mrs. Trickey, with a
toss of her head, which was so energetic
that it almost discomposed the stiff frills
of her cap.
. it must be mentioned here that Mrs.
Trickey had lived with my mother when
I wps a boy, and that, with her, I still
continued Master Fred, though all the
world beside knew me as Frederick
Heathcote, Esq., surgeon.
."I can assure you, Mrs. Trickey, I
mean no insult, nor even a joke," I re
plied humbly. "I fancied something
was wrong in the reflection of the glas;
perhaps Susan had not dusted it as she
should. Will you please look into it
with your experienced eyes, ' Mrs
Trickey?
I was in hopes that this last implied
compliment would have propitiated the
housekeeper; but apparently it had no
such t fleet, for after a short inspection
of the mioror. she said tartlv:
'The glass be right enough so far as I
do see: this mat us one of your items
Master Fred."
"But. Mrs. Trickey, do please tell me
what you Bee when you look into it,
exclaimed, seeing that 1 must be more
explicit if I wished to gain fall certainty
on the matter.
"Why, what should I see but my own
face, Master 1 red? she retorted snap
pishly; "and it be as goodlooking a face
as the faces of many women who be ten
years younger than I be, and I can. tell
'ee that" it have been thought a good look
ing face by scores of men-in time."
And herewith she bridled considers
bly, and drew herself up.
"And do you see nothing there besides
your face, then, Mrs. Trickey
"Bless and save us, Master Fred, you
must be turning mazed. I think, or else
it be that you are making a regular fool
of me. I don't see why you shoald
make np such gammots about my face
when you've aknowed it these last twenty
years. I calls it very disrespectful, that
I do."
And.with a flounce and a bounce Mrs.
Trickey turned and disappeared from
the room, leaving me all alone with the
house in the mirror, which most cer
lainly she had not seen.
1 was musing most uncomfortable on
this subject, with my eyes fixed on the
vision, which to me was as distinct as
ever, when the clock on the chimney-
piece struck a quarter to 9. Then, sud
denly, as if wiped out by a spirit's wing,
just when the little silver chime of the
clock was ringing, house, garden, sum
mer house, moonlight, yellow gleam.
vanished from the mirror, and 1 saw
nothing there save the reflection of the
familiar room.
It was certainly a more wonderful
phenomenon than any which my med
ical books and medical knowledge had
taught me, and I sat up late that night
thinking it over and trying vainly to ac
count for it. As, however, I could not
gain the slightest light on the subject,
turn the matter up and down as I might
in my brain, I came to a resolution on
two points, and then went to bed. One
of these resolves- was, that I would not
reveal tbe strange circumstance to any-
one, because l had always a most nearty
dislike to gossip and ridicule at my ex
pense and the other was, that I would
not allow the inexplicable vision to
trouble my mind so as4o make me in
capable of the daily work and . duty of
He. My natural calmness of tempera
ment and my active, busy course of
existence, made me more able to make
these determinations with some chance
of keeping to them than most people in
my piace.
I slept well that night, and did not see
the house in the mirror once in my
dreams. Next day I was sent for iu haste
to attend a dangerous, difficult case,
which required all my skill and energy.
By the time the evening was again come '
the impression made by the strange cir
cumstance of last night had in a' great
measure faded out of my mind.
It so happened that I was engaged to ,
spend that evening with my friends. Mr.
and Mrs. Woodland. Mr. Woodland
was a banker, and his wife was a pretty,
sparkling woman the queen of society
in our town. She and I were always
close allies; she would chatter to me of
all her family affairs, and in a certain
way-made me her confidant. On the oc
casion in question I was Mr. and Mrs.
Woodland's only guest. The banker
slumbered in his arm-chair, the lady had
two or three bits of gossip to tell about
the neighborhood, and two or three new
books to discuss with me, and a deal to
say besides about the first appearance of
a tooth iu Miss Baby's little rosy mouth.
That young heroine was brought down
in state in her night dress, and I had to
examine the prodigy with much circum
stance and solemnity.
Baby had retired again to the nursery,
and had ceased her somewhat loud re
monstrances with regard to the incon
venience of being brought downstairs to
appear in the drawing-room in such a
costume and at such a hour. Mrs.
Woodland was standing on the hearth
rug looking in the mirror when the town
clock in the market place hard by struck
8. I was looking at the reflection of my
hostess' face in the mirror, and thinking
that it was certainly a very pretty one,
when suddenly at the side of the lively
brown eyes appeared precisely the same
house, line for line, -which I had seen in
my dinning-room mirror yesterday at the
same hour; - garden,, pagoda like summer-house,
silvery moonlight, yellow-lamp-lighted
gleam all were there.
I could not help a start and a mur
mured expression of wonder. Mrs.
Woodland turned round quickly at the
sound.
"What is the matter?" she asked in
surprise.
"Oh, just a twinge of rheumatism in
my shoulder," I answered carelessly.
"I caught it riding home through the
stoim yesterday."
"Mr. Heathcote, what do you see so
wonderful in the looking-glass to night?"
she asked a few minutes .after, noticing
with feminine quiokness, the direction
in which my eyes, in spite of myself,
were so frequently turned.
"I was thinking that if I was a little
handsomer man than I am, I should try to
get a wife made exactly on your pattern,"
I replied lightly.
With these and a few more jesting
words I contrived to put Mrs. Wood
land's ouriosity to sleep again, while
from time to time I watched the vision
ary house. It was just as I had expected
wheu the town clock chimed a quarter to
U. it vanished exactly as it had done on
the previous night.
From that time forward, wherever
might be, if I was in the room with
looking-glass, I saw every evening from
8 to a quarter to 9, for the next month
to come, toe house in the mirror. Some
times it met my view in the tiny look
mg-glass on a cottage wan, where i was
ending a poor patient, sometimes in the
pier-glass of a sick fine lady a apartment,
sometimes in the mirror of a friend a
diniug-room as I sat at dinner. There
was never the faintest change in the
vision; it was always marked by exactly
the same features. I cannot say but
that this perpetual haunting of my life
by so mvsterious an apparition did not
make a vaguely uncomfortable and
painful impression on my mind. But,
by strength of will, and by clinging
resolutely and ceaselessly to all my
active daily duties, I prevented its bar
ing a morbid, unhealthy effect upon me.
I revealed iho circumstance to no one,
but appeared to the outer world as if
there was no strange page in my com
monplace story.
When, however, a month or so had
passed by there came a great, sudden
real sorrow, which most effectually
thrust aside all inclination to brood over
gloomy, shadowy, fanciful troubles.
One morning there arrived a telegram
from Leoco, on the Lago Como in North
Italy, saying that my sister on her way
home from India, had fallen dangerously
ill there, and calling me at 'once to ber
side. I knew that Lottie's health had
been delicate ever Bince her baby was
born, and that she was about to return
to England for the sake of a cooler cli
mate, and the best medical advice.
knew, too, that she meant to return
through Italy, but I was hardly aware
that she had, as yet, started from Bom
bay, and I had not the faintest notion
that her disease might possibly take
such a dangerous turn. No ; wonder,
then, that the tidings were a severe
blow.
Lottie was far more to me than Bisters
generally are to their brothers. She
was several years younger than I was,
and she had been first my plaything,
then my pupil; and I hod experienced a
pang of real jealousy on that day when,
sitting on a stool at my feet, with her
sweet face hidden on my knees she con
leased to me that there was one who was
more to her than I was, one who was
more to her than all the world beside.
This foolish feeling, of course, quickly
1 -W mm .
pasaea away, and i rejoiced to see her a
happy bride; yet Lottie was still my pet.
my pride and my darling. I will not
dwell upon the hurried journey, with
fear sitting at my side, -nor tbe long
nights and days of dreary, anxious
watching. It suffices to say here that
my sweet girl was", at length, given back
to my arms, after, through long weeks,
my medical care and skill had battled
with death for her. During the whole
of this period the house in the mirror
never again appeared to me, and, in
deed, in my absorbing anxiety and
trouble, the remembrance of it even,
hardly entered my mind7
Une lovely evening in early spring,
when Lottie was much better, but not
strong enough yet to be moved, I had
been taking a loug ramble into the love
ly country which surrounds Lake Como,
and on my return had loBt my way. The
sua had set, the moon had risen, and
was bathing the world in a silver sea. I
had reached a path by the lake, and was
pausing to consider in which direction
Lecco lay. Tbe scene around was all
one glory of stillness and of brightness.
A breeze just stirred the waters softly
with a kiss, the outlines of the distant
hills were soft and tender, as if drawn
by an artist angel's pencil; here and
there among them there was a white
glimmer which tld of a hamlet or home
si ead; hard by a nightengale just struck
a single golden note, and then was silent
again, as if he feared to break the calm
spell of the moon. .
All at once I started, and a low excla
mation burst from my lips. My eyes
were resting on the surface of the lake.
and there, mirrored in its clear waters, I
beheld exactly tbe same house and ear
den which had so often, before I left
England, met my view in such a strange,
mysterious way. Disturbed astonished,
unable to believe my own -senses. I
glanced round behind me, and there, on
a little rising ground above the lake, I
saw a house which 'corresponded to the
reflection below, and whioh was in every
respect the realization of my vision.
Just then the clock of some distant
church up among the hills struck eight.
The whole circumstance and coinci
dence was so singular that-1 could not.
help being impressed and startled by St.
AntagoBiatxo through mv whole ener
getic nature was to all imaginary fears
and beliefs. I anoroached the gate of
the garden and noted how. in every
smallest particular, even to the starlike
flowers of tbe creeper on the wall, even
to the fresco of the old woman with the
basket of oranges at her feet, even to the
slightly opened window with the ray of
light gliding through it, it was the com
plete likeness of the house which had so
often met mv view in the mirror. Ihe
very name of the villa written over the
gate filled me with a strange, eerie feel
ing; it was "La Casa dello Specchio." It
had evidentlv been so named from the
peculiar clear and beautiful reflection
whioh it had nrodnoed in the waters of
the lake.
The complex thoughts and feelings
which the sight of the villa and its name
called ud caused me to linger near it
for some little time, until I began to
fear that my mind was going to take a
morbid.- sicklv turn, and I resolved to
leave the spot at once. Just as I had
turned to go, however, a gold seal, which
had belonged to mv father, aud which.
therefore, was much valued by me, hap
pened to fall from mv watch chain, and
I spent some time in looking for it, for
it had rolled down the hill into the
grass.
I had at length found the seal and was
moving awav when the same distant
clock struck a quarter to nine. Scarce
ly had the sound died on the breeze
when a long, shrill cry came ringing out
of the house into the night apparently
through tne partially open window.
After that I cannot describe the motives
that impelled me; I only know that, led
by what was more like instinct than any
thing else, I rushed across the garden
and entered the door of the lonely house.
There, the first thing I beheld in the
liKle entrance hall was a girl with a fair
English face, in a state of evident great
terror and agitation.
"What is the matter?" I asked. "I
heard your cry. Iam an Englishman,
and I am here to give you any help and
service I can.
"My father, who is lying ill, has just
swallowe l poison by mistake, she an
swered at once, for great grief is never
surprised. . "I could not help crying out
when I discovered it. All our servants
happen to be out, and I have no one to
send to C-mo for a doctor."
"I am one," I said, "and, with God's
help, I will save your father.
It so happened that that day I had
been moving JUottie into more airy
apartments, and had put my little travel
ing case of medicines and instruments,
for better security, into the pocket of my
greatcoat, which hung on my arm.
The rest is quickly told. I saved, by
the prompt measures I took, the poisoned
man's life, and that fair girl has become
my home queen. The villa ia her father's
property, and onr brightest holidays are
spent in "La Casa dello bpecchio
"The house of the mirror."
Mrs Brown's Opinion.
What is my opinion of high-tonedness?
There is no such word iu the English
language, may be, but it expresses what
I want to say, and I have as much right
to coin a word as auybody else, particu
larly when no other word exactly meets
tbe case. High tonedness, as I under
stand it, means the dfire that some peo
ple have of holding up their heads and
the end of their noses, relative to other
people who may have less money or less
social position, but not less good breed
ing, for well-bred people are not of that
kind. To be high toned in the sense of
elevation above the coarser elements, is
commendable, but the inischief-of it is
that some of the coarsest kind of trash
affect the aualitv. and have affected it
until it has become a term almost of re
proach. As soon as a person can own- a
fine house and ride in a carriage, he af
fects to turn np his nose at his former
estate, and cultivates only the faculty of
forgetting the past. People who have
pasts that cannot be remembered with
comfort, have to take a good deal of
t inmg before they arrive at the pure
high pitch, although it is an easy matter
to arrive at the society pitcn. women
seem to be more seriously affected than
men, and while the husband may find-
real pleasure in thinking of the time
when he was a plain peddler, the wife is
driven frantic if the thought comes to
ber that he was ever anything else than
a merchant prince. It does not occur to
them that there is more true nobility
and manhood in one man who has the
nerve and the brain to overcome all ob
stacles and rise in spite of circumstances
than in five hundred who, by accident of
birth, inherit wealth and social position.
Honesty is royalty, and though society
may not recognize its crest, the better
part of man's nature accepts it, and this
better part is what constitutes real high-
toned men and women. Merchant Trav
