One dark and stormy night in win- ter, as Jan Schalken was Sitting with his wife by the fire, he was a- wakcm'd fromt-a transient doze by a knocking at the door ofhis but. He startcd tip, drew back the bolt, and a stranger colored. He. was a tall man; but little. could be distinguished ei- ther of his-face or ﬁgure, as he wore a large dark cloak, which he had contrived to pull over hie headml'tcr the fashion of n cowl. “ l am I pdnr traveller,” said the stranger, “ and want a night’s lodging; will you grant it to me?” “ Ay, to he sure,” re- plied Schilken: “ but I am afraid your cheer will be. sorry.

Now, Schnlken certainly did not put much faith in these promiscs,but still he llhjtlg‘llt it the safest plan to make trial or them, and acetirdingly hogan t0 rousidurltnw he should tilt his t' irhes. Jan was a mam who had low or no ambitious views, and win Cultimlictl with this way oflife in it inch lt‘.‘ lt'tll been broughttyp, and had a cincuie wish to add. afcw yours to tlimc'whirli lie wu destined to live.

This was also amonth to.

As they passed by the garden, he turned to take a last look at it, when a sudden thought struck him. He called to Death and said. “Sir allow me to prepose something to you.
