Admitting this to be the oase t it woold be a aingular study to traoe out how many poor wretches hare suffered at the stake for imaginary crimes con- nected With sorcery, whioh. wftet all, were merely the offset* of habitual drunkenness bringing on this peculiar pbnee of insanity. The particular phenomenon I allude to ae common in the Middle Ages, aa well aa in the preeent day, ia that the victim of drunkennees Imagines that a phantom appears to him whenever he attemote to recede from hie bargain with tbeeril one, or f according to our modern ids**, to return to the patha of sobriety, and periinaoioualy following him, drives the unhappy wretch to con- tinue bin habit till It forces him into the grave. ladir*\* of a §4 n ia i ;\>?: would no had applied for a d lent ispensa- bolio to Bo oloae did the affinity between the medieval tales and the present drunk- ard's phantom appear to me, that I de- termined to make a collection of the latter cases, in order, at some oon- Teniapt season, to brine: them under the I w as OTaewaf, frii girl I did peots wi marriage by her vantajfee wouldbt any consi bapplneaa. marriage, habits, w in fact a ment abe The andeilfn wife. tion from! the Pope\ for a Oathol marry a Proteetant, and hoped it would soon arrijre, and immediately after- wards their were to be united.

Circumstances, however, occurred which obliged me to delay the publica- tion of the whole collection. One among the number, wbioh may be taken aa a sample of the rent, I now bring under the notice ef the reader. Borne thirty yeara since, there lveidedf •t X——w a flourishing city in the north of Italy, an English gentleman, whom I will deeignate by the name of Smith, At the time of my making his acquaintance he waa between twenty- Ave said thirty Yeara of age, of middle height, and, although not decidedly handsome, had a very intelligent oast of eoeoMAwmoe. He waa well educated, had naturally courteous manners, and was generous and charitable. With ail Smith's good quaUiiee he bad one besetting fault which Went far to neutralise hie many virtues, or to tell the strict trash, he waa a confirmed drunkard. He had acquired the habit in ftngland. And in Italy, where he waa tmderlittle subjection to his family, it increased in intensity. One of the reeulta of this failittj that it shut him out from the clase of Italian sodety.by whom intern' peranoe is justly considered aa a filthy and degrading vice ; while many of the worst portion of the Italian young mei in the city collected round him, tempt- ed by hie neat liberality end unbound- ed hoepitality to ignore hie faults, or rather, thaw encouraged him in them, thev profiting to a great extent by his failing. It is only justice to Smith, howerer, to state that his seises were not entirely deadened to the degrading enures of life he was lending. Natural- ly gentlemanly and high-spirited, he felt keenly the tacit refusal of the bet- ter claaa of. Italians to associate with him. So keenly, indeed, did he feel this aversion, thatdie made several at- tssnpts to break himself of hie habit, and at laat ao far succeeded that he would keep sober for a fortnight or three weeki together. And then again would come over him the irreaiatible tt^BEtftticmto return to his old habit, OirrvniKeMrbuia IncRlIge for nearly the same space of time he had remain- ed sober. He poseeened another noteworthy feature frequently to be detected in these occasional drunkards, that when sober a more amiable or gentlemanly mam it would have been difficult to meet with, or a greater ruffian and blackguard when in a drunken fit Hie violence would then, howerer, be re- strained by his navaaitical friends, so thst he waa seldom allowed to make himself publicly obnoxious, or at suur rate not to a greater extent than to oail down on him the courteous remonstran- ces of the police. Although the city of X waa my head quarters in Italy, I waa frequent- ly obliged to leave it on matters of busi- ness for three weeks to a month at a time. Os) my return after one of these absences, Smith paid me a virit He appeared in much better health than usual, and in good spirits. Moreover, there was a remarkable change in his drees, which, although it could hardly have been called slovenly, had general- ly in it an affected air of carelessness, as if he waa totally indifferent to what others thought of hie appearance. He wasnow^on the contrary, remarkably well dressed, in exeellesit taste, and his clothes, il waa eaay to perceive, had been made by an expert tailor. After conversing together on indifferent sub- jects for some little time, he said to me —•• I hare at Inst determined to break myself of ray unfortunate habit, and have no doubt I shell aucoeed.\ <# I am glad to hear that you have tw tlMt traeiusJoAV\ 1 replied. •was* tlpstil upd*M> ts-wiil con- tribuse greatly to your happiness*; but it in ao nee having oome to the conclu- if yon do not rseolutely abide by onttmith In hie W und him at home.

He waa then in good health and spirits : bat now f on [the ofatrary. he appeared low-spirited land miserable. Pretending I had heard nothing, I inquired after his wife. For some moments he made no reply, and then, the teari starting to his eyes, he said to me, \ My dear fel- low, it's of no use my concealing mat- ters from yon. My wife haa left me.\ I assumed a look of great surprise, but made IXM remark. 49 It's all mjr own fault, 99 he continued; \ I cannot buune her for it, dear girl. I must, however, get you. to play the part of pea^e-maker between u*. I know ahe haa a great respect for you, and if anyone can do it you can. 99 19 OandidM Smith, 99 1 said, \I don't like interfering, and that for both J our sakee. In one of your drunken ts you might either kill her or infliot on her some Serious injury. Tou must be perfectly j well aware you are not master of your actions on those occa- sions; and strong aa your determina- tion at the preeent time to remain sober may be, it m no guarantee that you will keep ao; and 1 would rather not inter- fere in the matter. 99 94 Do not gijre me a positive refusal'' he said, \ but trr srhat you oan do.

He willingly accented these conditions, and on the following day I started on my journey. , On my return to X-— at the time speotOed, I called on Smith. Ho cer- tainly looked in better health and more cheerful than wjhen 1 left He told me he bad scrnpul<>usly kept his word, and that it waa moije than six weeks since ho had tasted either wine or spirits, and he now cabled on me to fulfill my promise. i I unhMiUUnirly agreed to do so, but on inquiry found that his wife would re- turn to X—* in sJbont a fortnight's time, and thinking 11 could better intercede with her by a personal interview than by letter, to which ahe might reply un- der control of her friends, I proposed to wait till ahe arrived, and this I did the more readily aa it would give Smith another ten dm or go to practice his sobriety.

On our way home Smith conversed volubly, sometimes on mat- with his wife, at Others s behavior of the polioe to watch him. Presently, broad, straight street, brilliantly lighted by an Italian full moon, Smithj suddenly stopped, and the arm, whispered, ow is I Now let's catch l#iW* half outsk copied s[ neral ters conn on the infam in getting asp on entering I said. \You must into this here, and passage, we shall \he find •NWW, clasping \There thef him l n \Iseetfo make a mi 44 He said: him> We went intolanairowpassmge through a doorway, and! closed at the end so that no one could hkye escaped, but he was not there. 1 The ides then first crossed my mind thai Smith w»jl laboring under a delu- sion. I asked bim what sort of a man the spy was, aijd he replied that he was toll and thin, with a pale face, and cold glassy eyes; that he wss dressed in black, had th^ee black studs in his shirt and always carried a black glove in his right hand. This immediately tended to oonnnce me that Smith was laboring under j a delusion, and I ques- tioned him farther on the subject, eu- deavoring to pjrove to him that he was in error. He remained firm, however, to his conclusion, and finding it was useless to argud the matter with him, I gave it up for the moment, determining to watch him nsrrowly, and find out whether or no a spy followed him in the manner he descjribed. During the njext week I called daily to see Smith, sold received from him a most minute account of the persecution he endured frota the spy he imagined to be following |tim. He told me that his good resolutions, he was obliged to have recourse again to his little drop of brandy. Tbie waa effectual for a short time, but after a little use it reouired a great quantity to take effect, and It cul- minated again in a drunken fit In thia manner affairs continued, the poor wretch struggling continually in a most determined manner to abetein from rice, and on each oooasion the delusion appearing to him, and stand- ing motionlcM before him. gaaed on him with its cold, inexpressive eye, till at last this poor victim of drunkenness utterly succumbed, and a few months after hie wife's return to X he oc- cupied a grave in the city cemetery. 8UMMAEY OF KEITH* The lee> •Jjse-;: I He cams) in from Truckee Meadows, did thia level-headed dog* He rode in by the side of hie master on a load of S otatoea. He waa not a pretty dog, a andy dog, nor a dog of blue blood and high degree. He waa a tall, gaunt, sbaggy-hsired, wild-eyed, wolfish look- ing brindle beast, unrecorded pedigree and problematic breed. This descrip- tion of the dogs appliea equally well, in its general features, to the master. As the wagon, carrying man, dog, and po- tatoes halted for a time in front of a saloon on North O street, one of a party of half a doaen loungers thereabout made some remark in regard to the ap- pearance of the country canine when thus spake ye hornr-handed frowsy- headed tiller of ye soil: 44 Fellers, that air ain't a party dog, I know—he's like me, makes no preten- tions to natural beauty—but he's just the durndest knowinest dog what ever wore hair.

The next morning he inforjmed me that no person suoh aa described had made his appear- ance ; in fact, not an individual had at- tempted to come near the house. I then questioned Smith, who told me that several timei during the night he had risen from nis bed and aeen the spy lurking about outside the house ; end that he had watched him the day before sopcrtanatiously, it had almost driven him out of his senses. It wanted but three days to the time for Mrs. Bmith's return to X , when the servahta in the house were in the night aroused by Violent cries from their master. , On goiig to his assistance they fomsd he hatjl quitted his bedroom and entesed another, wheio, armed with a sword, h# was stubbing the bed-clothes through and through. On inquiring the oausei he replied— 44 The fellow is here, and I have joaught him at laat He ahall not escabe me thia time,\ and he again commended stabbing through the bed-dlothes till he was so exhausted that he fiinted. The servants, n<nr terribly alarmed, sent for a doctor In the neighborhood, who, finding Smith in a fainting fit, at- tempted to revive kiim by pouring some brandy down hia throat, and in a little time he succeeded in restoring anima- tion. 8mith, on recovering his senses, glared ia* a terrified manner round the room, and then I exclaimed— \Thank Heaven, the wretch has gone at laat I\ He waa then oonyehred to his own bed, where he slept soundly UU the follow ingday. I wae now fairly] pnnled what step to take. t^De have [informed hia wifes family oithe mania Smith was laboring under, would be ti preclude all possi- bility of a reconciliation ; and yet to keep it sr secret #ould scarcely hare been justified on my part As Mrs. Smith waa expected to arrive on the following day, I resolved at isst to call on her husbsnd and argue the matter coolly with him. I found him in good spirits.

His boys are all familiar with guns, horses and cattle.

I have traveled ia all manner of modes in my time, but never before did I go to sea in a carriage. Fortunately an old experienced steamboat com- mander, Captain Gibney, acted as pilot, who, mounted on horseback, led the way through the briny waves. We left Corpus Ohristi about nine o'clock, and E roceeded up the beach until we came > the reef lying between Corpus Ohris- ti and Neucea Bays, whioh makes an in- visible division of their waters. The bay here ia three miles wide, but an oyster reef has formed over the whole distance, on which the water is from two to three feet deep, but has numer- ous holes, into which the inexperienced is likely to get 4< logged\ with his ve- hicle. By crossing this reef some twen- ty miles is saved in the distance to Roekport, and we moved steadily on, following our guide in hia winding course up and down ihe stream. The water on one occasion entered the floor of the carriage, though fortunately there was but litUe wind blowing, and the surface waa auite smooth. It reauired one hour ana a quarter to cross, it be- ing necessary to move slowly and cau- tiously. We fortunately met Captain Gibney and a frieno! juat about to cross, who kindly volunteered to keep us en the track. There have been many ac- cidents in crossing these reefs, with the loss of horses and damage to vehioles, and it is, under the moat favorable cir- cumstances, not a very agreeable trip.
