Noting, but apparently not sharing, the astonishment caused by Mr. Galbraith's answer this ready witted person checked by a gesture the exclamations that would naturally have followed, and tranquilly inquired: "How came you to go in there?"

e Rev. Henry Galbraith, a well-known and highly esteemed Lutheran minister, arrived on foot at his house, a mile and a half from the Deluse place. Mr. Galbraith had been for a month in Cincinnati. He had come up the river in a steamboat, and landing at Gallipolis the previous evening had immediately obtained a horse and buggy and set out for home. The violence of the storm had delayed him over night, and in the morning the fallen trees had compelled him to abandon his conveyance and continue his journey afoot. “But where did you pass the night?” inquired his wife, after he had briefly related his adventure. “With old Deluse at the ‘Isle of Pines,’” {372} was the laughing reply; “and a glum enough time I had of it. He made no objection to my remaining, but not a word could I get out of him.” Fortunately for the interests of truth there was present at this conversation Mr. Robert Mosely Maren, a lawyer and _littérateur_ of Columbus, the same who wrote the delightful “Mellowcraft Papers.” IGHT O'CLOCK THAT MORNING THE REVEREND HENRY GALLBRAITH A WELL KNOWN AND HIGHLY ESTEEMED LUTHERAN MINISTER ARRIVED ON FOOT AT HIS HOUSE A MILE AND A HALF FROM THE DE LUCE PLACE MISTER GALLBRAITH HAD BEEN FOR A MONTH IN CINCINNATI HE HAD COME UP THE RIVER IN A STEAMBOAT AND LANDED AT GYLIPPOIS THE PREVIOUS EVENING HAD IMMEDIATELY OBTAINED A HORSE AND BUGGY AND SET OUT FOR HOME THE VIOLENCE OF THE STORM HAD DELAYED HIM OVER NIGHT AND IN THE MORNING THE FALLEN TREES HAD COMPELLED HIM TO ABANDON HIS CONVEYANCE AND CONTINUE HIS JOURNEY AFOOT BUT WHERE DID YOU PASS THE NIGHT INQUIRED HIS WIFE AFTER HE HAD BRIEFLY RELATED HIS ADVENTURE WITH OLD DE LUCE AT THE ISLE OF PINES WAS THE LAUGHING REPLY AND A GLUM ENOUGH TIME I HAD OF IT HE MADE NO OBJECTION TO MY REMAINING BUT NOT A WORD COULD I GET OUT OF HIM FORTUNATELY FOR THE INTERESTS OF TRUTH THERE WAS PRESENT AT THIS CONVERSATION MISTER ROBERT MOSELEY MARIN A LAWYER AND LITERATURE OF COLUMBUS THE SAME WHO WROTE THE DELIGHTFUL MELOCRAFT PAPERS
