Tue garret of the house that Iregree occupied, ke most other garrets, wasa great desolate space, dns , hung with cobwebs, and littered with cast-o lumber. The opulent family that bed inhabited the house in the days of its splen- dour had im rted a sat deal of splendid furniture, some of whic the had taken away with them, while some rema tied standing de- solate in moulderin , unoccupied rooms, or stored away in this place. One or two immense ckin boxes. in which this furniture was rough , stood afiainst the sides of the gerret. here was a enia window there, which let in through certain and due

its dingy, dusty panes, a scanty, nu- light, on the tall, high-hacked chairs tables, that had once seen better days. ther, it was a weird end ghostly place; but ostly as it was, it wanted not in egends among the eu retitious negroes to in- crease its terrors. me few years before, a negro woman, who had incurred ‘e di leasure was confined there for several weeks. hat passed there we do not say : the negroes need to whis r darkly to each other; but it wee known t at the bodiv of the unfortunate creature was one do ta on down from there, and buri ; and a r that it wee said that oaths end cursings, and the sound of violent blows need to ring throu b that old garret, mingled with wailings an groans of despair. Once, when Legree chanced to overhear some- thing of this kind, he flew intoa violent pas- sion, end swore that the next one that told stories about that garret should have an o rtuni of know ng what was there, or

e wond chain him up there for a wee . This blnt wee enough to repress talkin , thou h of course, it did not disturb the ore ‘tot’ e story in the least.

Gradually the staircase that led to the garret, and even the passage-way to the staircase, were avoided by every one in the house, from every one fcariug‘to speak of it, end the is d wee

ually lliug into desuetudc. It ad and-

ly occurred to ssy to make use of the su-

rstitious excitability which wee so great in

gree for the purpose of her libere on and that of her fellow-suflerer.

The sleeping-room of Casey wee directl un- der the not. One day,, without cone tin Legroe, s e suddenly took it upon her, with some considerable oetentatiou, to change alltbt fiirniture and appurtenances of the room to one at some considerable distance. vents, who were called on to elfect this move- ment, were runnin and bustling about with
