THE HAUNTED HOUSE. 
BY JENNY MARSH FAItKEK. 
CHAPTER I. 
Houses are haunted by else than ghosts, you 
know. I wonder how many that jogged through 
that narrow hack street,—ob, it is the gloomiest 
street in town,—that wild March night, long alter 
the’old tower had groaned for ten.—were startled, 
and chilled through with affright, when they pass¬ 
ed the grey old lionse tbat is always spitefully 
threatening to shake a shower of broken shutters 
upon us,to see, away up in tbe attic window, some¬ 
thing all in white, with a pale face pressed close to 
the pane, and great dark eyes glistening up to tin* 
stars? If those that did see. it, did not let their 
staring eyes wink again, before they were panting 
around tbe corner with a prayer, or perchance a 
in a daik corner and cry, than to draw up a chair 
and eat her supper, as her aunt, not seemingly the 
least embarrassed by Ron's conduct, kindly told 
her to do. Tbe tea was cold and insipid, the bread 
sour and dry, tbe butter not tempting enough to 
her fastidious ideas to lead her to take any, auil 
the cheese, why, her neat mother wou’d have thrown 
it away. The cloth was brown and ragged, the 
crockery broken, cracked and but half washed, and 
then there was a bulf starved kitten that kept 
leaping upon the table, and when not driven oil' by 
harsh treatment from Rob, helped itself from any 
plate she pleased. Thumb could not cat, though 
urged to l.y her aunt, frowned at by Rob, and mat¬ 
tered at by Uncle Jakk, hut crept back to the fire¬ 
place and wept silently and unseen till hor little 
apron was very wet 
As soon as I!ob finished his supper he pushed 
away from the table with a great deal of noise, and 
throwing bis cap up on one side of his head, 
lighted a cigar, and was about to leave the house 
when his mother detained biin by asking— 
“Will you do an errand for me to-night, Robin— 
just around tbe corner?” 
"No,” very gruffly, “I’ve enough to do for my¬ 
self; I don’t intend to l»e an errand boy now this 
young un’ has come." 
"Don’ttalk so, Robin; you will scare the poor 
child,” said Aunt Sarah, languidly, for she heard 
a sob from the corner. “ Don't stay out late to¬ 
night; I am afraid here alone.” 
‘•Yes, nicely alone you are! Ha ! ha ! pity a 
thief of some kind wouldn’t thin out things a lit¬ 
tle. If 1 can find a body snatcher I’ll set him on 
a good track”— and, laughing at his wicked jests, 
he swaggered into the street. 
Before Aunt Sarah had finished her supper, and 
gathered up the dishes and set them away un¬ 
washed, Tbl'Dte ceased crying, though her heart 
kept on aching, and sat surveying everything in 
the room, from the torn picture pasted across the 
top of the cracked looking-glass to the leaking 
water-tub in the corner. She saw how soiled and 
have found a scrubbing brush, she would have 
chosen that,—and around that, room she went, like 
the busy little fairy s'ue x-as, setting things iu an 
order they had never klowq before. Then she 
washed the dishes her Aunt had left, the night, be¬ 
fore, and drawing out the table as gently as she 
could, set it even prettily with the old crockery 
for the morning’s meal. Then she took the plate 
of hard dry broad, and pieditated over it a mo¬ 
ment and came to the conclusion that they would 
all like it better toasted, ijnd she was toasting it be¬ 
fore the lire, when in cant Uncle .Take. 
He did look surprised,-*-he even half smiled, so 
tbat Thumb ventured on a “good morning, sir,” 
which was answered by a “Utnph!” and ' This 
looks a little like it. Bn* bless me, child, are you 
toasting that bread? I’d as lief eat leather!” 
Trudie was really frigltened, and she trembled 
so she could hardly answer. 
“ I am toasting a little because I thought it was 
too hard and sour for yoi.” 
"So it is, so it, is — I'd as lief eat it one way as 
the other,” and, thereupon, he sat down in the 
chimney corner, mutteritg to bimself something 
that Trudie could not heflr plain enough to under¬ 
stand. She could not work so fast as before, nor 
as well. She let one piece of bread burn, and was 
very thankful that it pasted unobserved by Uncle 
Jake. 
Just then, Rob came in; oh, how the child wish¬ 
ed it had been her aunt He was pale and hag¬ 
gard, aud his matted bail and uutidy clothes, did 
not improve bis appearance. Trudie did not dare 
to even to look up at him. 
“Well, little what's your name,” said he, taking 
a piece of toast off of the plate with evident pleas¬ 
ure, "you are going to be good for something, I 
guess. If you do as well as this every morning, I 
shall have some hope of getting to my work in time. 
Where’s Maz?” 
" Who?” asked Trudie. 
“ Why Muz,” said Rob, laughing, and helping 
himself to another piece of toast; “don’t know 
dirty her aunt’s clothing was, calculated how long who I mean, hey ? Why that little old woman yon 
it was since she had combed her hair, or scrubbed saw ' ast night,”

There is a stick of timber 30 feet long and 18 
curse crowding through their teeth, they are of wash the curtains and loon them back nmtt.ilv_ as a bear, this morning, and thank mv stars vou inches in diameter at the large end and 9 inches 
course firm to this day in tbe belief that to them a 
spiritual revelation has been made,—while tbe less 
favored, who paused in the bluek shadow of the 
old house to watch the spectre for awhile, will 
saj',—if tbeir hearts are full of holy omens,—it was 
a little child, flown from its bed,—G od granting it 
one,—to whisper some heavy grief while looking 
full in Heaven's face. 
Come, Trudie, go back to your bed again, for 
the cold is biting you through. There is nothing 
like your sweet mother’s face in that, cold, hard 
night-sky, unless—unless,—and I should think that 
would make you turn away.—it, is like as she was 
in her coffin. But Cubist is behind the stars, yon 
say, and your faith secth her, {-milling at you as 
6he resteth in His bosom, and there is no one in 
this wide world to whom you may tell all this 
trouble. 
And what is this trouble, Trudie? Will it seem 
big to ua who have fought with tbe world till our 
swords are broken? Here is a deep dent upon 
our armor tbat a child-grief made long ago. We 
thought then it pierced to the heart, but it only 
bruised It; the old scar gives us a twang even now 
sometimes. Let us know your trouble, Trudie. 
CHAPTER II. 
When Trudie Granger's widowed mother died, 
and left not a farthing for her poor child, her 
friends, who thought it a sad pity to make one so 
young and blooming a pauper at the Alins nouse, 
wrote to an aunt of the little one who lived in the 
great city of New York, telling her of the orphan’s 
distress, and begging her il it were possible to give 
her a borne. Aunt Sarah, whose life was one of 
poverty and deep trouble, also, wrote back a loving 
welcome, so laden with tender compassion, that 
Tkudie’s heart was almost joyous again when she 
found herself upon the top of the old stage coach, 
with her little bundle in hand, starting off for 
her new home with many an honest “God go wid 
ye, child,” ringing in her ears. 
Her mother’s death Lad been the only sorrow of 
her life. She could not remember her father; he 
went home long before. Poverty had been no 
grief to her, for her mother’s industry had kept 
her from hunger and want, and her mother’s love 
had uprooted the thorns that wo aid otherwise have 
torn her young feet. Trial had not made her 
strong enough to go forth alone, you think, but 
could not God? 
When she came in sight of the grey old house, 
that always looks twice as desolate iu the dusk, 
you know, Trudie was not discontented, for she 
thought the face of her aunt,—she had never seen 
her.—who had written her that good letter would 
make alt bright inside. And when a neat little 
woman, with soft blue eyes and a soiled, ragged 
dress—but Trudie did not then see that,—met her 
at the door, and took her close to her heart at the 
first embrace, she wa3 happy as a lost dove that 
finds its home. 
But alas, for poor Trudie! She had not been 
in the house many minutes before she felt that all 
the. sunshine that was to fall would radiate from 
Aunt Sarah’s eyes, and would they keep the snow 
from drifting on her? There was an old man in 
the chimney corner,—they called him Unde Jake 
—who never lifted his eyes to greet, her, but gave 
a growl at her entrance about filliug up the old 
rookery with yelliugbrats, and when in her tremor 
of excitement she stumbled against his footstool, 
nearly falling to the floor, she received a rebuke, 
such as she never heard before. Aunt Sarah 
kissed her again wi i h a " nevermind, Trudie,” and 
brought her face to face with her Cousin Rob,— a 
tali, saucj looking youth, with a superabundance 
ot fob-chain, seal and charms, and a soiled and 
rumpled embroidered shirt bosom, and something 
on his chin and upper lip that reminded Tkudjk, 
even then, of mouldy cheese. He sat at the table 
hastily devouring a slice of bread and butter, and 
when his mother interrupted him with a gentle, 
“ Rob, here's your little Cousin,” a gruff voice an¬ 
swered, with a cold, scornful indifference— 
i would white-wash the dingy walls,—would wash 
i the dishes and set them up in handsome order, and 
s would mend the old tub. Thus iu her dream she 
. had nicely arranged everything about her, even to 
i furbishing up Aunt Sarah, and robbing Rob of 
, his fob-chain, seal and charms, when her aunt, 
who thought she must be very weary from her 
ride, asked her if she had not better go to bed,—and 
Trudie, who knew there was but little sleep for 
her that night, wearily picked up her bundle and 
followed h< r aunt through a long, cold hall, up the 
steepest pair of stairs she ever saw, until they 
came to a little room where a bed had been rnude 
upon tbe floor for her. Her aunt kissed her good 
night, told her not to be afraid, for Rob slept iu the 
next room, and then left her. 
Trudie shuddered from head to foot when the 
door closed behind her. The wind blew so through 
the loose window that her candle went out. She 
sank down on the bed, and hiding her face, moan¬ 
ed only, ”I wantyou,mother! I wantyou, mother,” 
till the violence of her sorrow drowned her voice. 
Then she lay there like one dead; were it well if 
she had been? 
Presently she arose and unrobed herself and 
crept into the bed,—she had said her mother- 
taught prayers in silence. But she could not 
sleep; turning her face towards the window she 
saw the stars twinkling. The sight of them were 
better than such gloom, and more than that, a ten¬ 
der-hearted old grandma had told her she must 
not cry for her mother, for she had gone to the 
Heaven that was in the stars. 
It was late that night when Trudie, benumbed 
with cold, went back to her bed. It was mu OS 
later still, but sbe was wide awake and trembling, 
when she heard an unsteudy step upon the stairs, 
which she thought must be Rob’s. He entered 
the chamber adjoining hers, but his nearness did 
not break her loneliness. 
Now Trudie, child that she was, was no dreamer 
or coward. She had seen over twelve summers, 
but was far older than her years, aud she did not 
go to sleep that night, iu that whirling black 
chaos, without some very practical thoughts as to 
what she should do. She loved her Aunt Sarah; 
she was an affectionate, teuder-bearted woman, but 
Trudie saw that she was widely different from her 
mother, aud that, difference, she concluded, was 
what made everything so dreadfully unpleasant,— 
“ My home has got to be here,” thought Trudie, 
“ for a long time at least, and I wonder if I do just 
as mother would,—and ob, how patient I will have 
to be with Uncle Jake aud Rob,— if I can't make 
things go better, I have read lots of stories in 
our Sunday School Library, of little gills, younger 
than me, that did a great deal of good, but I m-ver 
thought 1 should have the chance of trying to be 
like them.” And then the little head, planned, and 
planned,—she wept, aud smiled,—was full of hope, 
then ready to give way at some remembered ob- 
stacie, until slumber kissed her eyelids when she 
knew it not, and iu her dreams the old grey house 
was full of love aud pence, Uncle Jake good na- 
tured, Rob a brother to her, aud Aunt Sarah the 
neatest little body In the woild. 
Are dreamings always in vain? What will come 
of this? 
ain't quite so lazy as the rest of us.” Whereupon, 
he drew up to the table, and Uncle Jake followed 
bis example. 
“ Things look wonderful fixy,”said lion, glancing 
over the table, “not quite so much like fodder for 
CHAPTER III. 
Well, and what did Trudie do the next day?— 
It was so late when she fell asleep the night before 
that she did not waken early in the morning as 
was her wont, aud she knew it must be nearly eight, 
o’clock when she stoic timidly down stairs, re¬ 
proaching herself for not being up in time to help 
get the breakfast. But she found no one in the 
house stirring, except herself; she did not expect 
to be the first one up at that. hour. “ May he A uut 
is sick,” she thought- “If ] knew where she slept 
I would go and see. 
She sat down as if wondering what to do; then 
her face grew very bright, aud jumping up sud¬ 
denly with the impulse her thought gave her, she 
went to work to make the fire, and oh, how very 
r Trudie was happy to hear him remark the 
1 change. She was not a little proud of her first ef- 
r fort, and what gratified her the more, and almost re- 
1 paid her for the pang she had received, was the 
> many slices of toast, that Uncle Jake called for.— 
r Yes, and before the meal was finished he growled 
; out a praise for the little housekeeper. 
1 Bob had gone off to his work, muttering that lie 
: expected to lose his place for coming so late, and 
half kiuilly asking Tiaratn to see that his mother 
* had dinner all ready by one, when AuntSAKAn came 
i yawning down stairs. She was surprised to find 
■ a breakfast waiting for her, and the room present- 
■ ing sneh an unusual appearance. She praised 
1 Trudie Very highly, and even apologised for her 
sloth, but excused herself again by saying that if 
she did get. a breakfast early, Rob would never gtt 
up to eat it, aud then things got behind hand and 
went wrong all day. Then as she sat languidly 
over her cup of tea, she gave TRitniE an insight 
. into many of their troubles, and Trudie had wise 
eyes that could see the real cause thereof. 
She was very much troubled abont Rob, he was 
getting so unsteady. He never staid at home 
evenings, and would remain out so late nights, and 
get up so late in the morning, that he had lost 
more than one place that winter. Rob was natu¬ 
rally a good boy, and she thought he would come 
out right, yet. 
Then there was Uncle Jake, (the old man had 
hobbled out into the street.) He bail got to be so 
childish aud cross, it was the great trial of her life 
to have him around, He didn’t use to be so. 11c 
was once a fuuuy, story-telling man. He did no¬ 
thing but growl now, — was never Batisfieil with 
anything she might do for him, and she often 
thought it was his unpleasantness tbat drove Rob 
from home so much. Indeed, everything seemed 
going to rack and ruin; she might be very unhap¬ 
py if she chose, but was rather determined to 
bear with patience all that was sent, upon her. 
Trudi e saw through it all, nearly as plain as you 
do,—and her hopes were something akin to those 
of an ardent missionary iu a new-fuund field, and 
when her aunt told her, with delicate frankness, 
that as she was to share their home, she must hear 
some of its duties, her eyes grew large and bright, 
and with the rapturous impulse that ever controlled 
her, threw her arms about her aunt’s neck and kis- 
Red her, saying— 
“Let me be your housekeeper,—oh do, auntie! 
Then you can take, in a great deal more sewing, 
for you shall not be troubled with the house work 
at all. i’ll have the breakfast bright and early, 
and everything ho nice.” 
Aunt Sarah acceeded to the child’s proposal 
very willingly, yet with a powerful secret, doubt as 
to tbe work being performed, after (lie novelty of 
the tiling was over; nor were her doubts lessened 
when she saw her turning tho pots and kettles 
from their dusty den, washing the cupboard and 
covering tbe slielves with clean paper, shaking np 
and arranging the cushions of Uncle Jake’s chair, 
and even pulling down the curtains, “for they 
must be washed,” she said. Things were not in , 
order when Rob came home to dinner, but the 
table was spread temptingly, though humbly, and 
he Htood in the door a moment or more before en¬ 
tering rolling his eyes and fumbling his heavy 
seal, and at last spoke out very pleasantly.
