The Iron Foot-Step.
'The Iron Foot-Step' was committed
to paper by its author, at the suggestion
of Geoffrey Crayon, who had heard it
with admiration from the writer's lips. It
is a Stange arid mysterious narrative, and
yet, in all its particulars, strictly true.
Most families, I believe, hgve their tra
ditionary ghost story, which, when narra
ted to the group that gathers round the
wintry fire-side, excites, according to the
age i .nd character <>f the listeners, terror,
sympathy, doubt, incredulity or ridicule.
Still it continues tobe told, even by those
who are urgent in their disavowal of be
lief in supernatural appearances; the sto
ry is kept alive, and recollected in after
life: for the bias is a strong o:ie of the
mind, to dwell ever on shadows that per
tain to that world of untried beings, which
approaches toward us with its slow and
noiseless, but irresistible and overwhel
ming movement. I remember in my
youth to have listened with my whole
heart to the following remarkable inci
dent, as one which had undoubtedly oc
curred a few years before in the island of
Dominica.
During the season of mortality among
.
the inhabitants ot that ibland in the year
'■ ■ i vetei an Scottish regiment was sta
tioiitit! upon the hi^h blufi of [and that
farms one point of a crescentular bay, and
overlooks the town and harbor. Inland I
towards the east, a small plain ex ends j
itself, while on the west and north, which j
is nearest the shore, and almost overhang
ing it, were several long one-story buil
ding», hastily erected of wood, for the ac
commodation of the officers of the corps,
and consisting all of three or four rooms
on each end, with a piazza on one side
towards the sea, extending the whole
lotigth of the structure, and forming a sha
ded and agreeable promenade during the
earlier part of the day. The rooms open
ed upon the piazza, and communicated
with each other by means of a side door,
which wa3 occasionally left open for the
freer circulation of air. In one of these
barracks were quartered three officers of
the regiment, Major Hamilton, Captain
Gordon, and a third, whose name I can
not at this moment recall. Major Ham
ilton's apartment was in the centre. He
had lost a leg in the service, and usually
wore a wooden pin, or stick, shod with
iron; and being an alert man, fond of ex
ercise, used to walk up and down this pi»
azza for hours together, stopping occa
sionally at Gordan's door or window, and
sometimes looking in at that of the other
officer, exchanging a cheerful word with
them, as they sat in his apartment, en
deavoring to beguile the time with dres
sing, reading, writing, thoughts of promo
tion, oF home, and of a speedy and hap
py return to Britain. The sound of the
Major's step was peculiar. It was'enly
the blow that was given by the iron ferule
at the end of his wooden leg; for, although
a stout man, he trod light with the re
maining foot, and heavily only with the
irooden substitute, which gave forth its
note at short intervals, as he paced to and
fro, so regularly, that there was a certain
pleasure in listening toit. Sounds that ;
strike the ear in this measured way, af- !
fect us more than others. The attention j
becomes engaged, and they grow emphat
ic as we list eu. The calker's j, ammer , (
stroke, as it flies from the dock-yard of'
rk* bus* do *, «cross some nfceidh»* in. ,
the busy post, across some placid bay, in
to the green and peaceful country, is an
instance of this truth; the songster has it
in tbe line—
"His very step has music in't,
• Wisn he comes up the stair»;"
and Lamb felt it, when he said of his
physician, that 'there was healing in the
crack of Iiis slice,' as he approached his
apartment- Associated with this measur
ed movement of the Major, was his deep
cheery voice, that made light of danger
and difficulty, whether on the field of bnj
tie, or as now amid the sickness, which
in mockery of the baauty of tropical skies
and scenery, was devastating the colony
at this melancholy perio<¥.
This sickness proved fatal to several
j officers of the regiment, and after awhile
! Major Hamilton was taken down with it.
i It was a fever attended with delirium.
The Major wasconfidentof recovery, and,
indeed, from the great equanimity and
happy temperament of his patient, his
physician had hopes almost to the last.
These, however, were not destined to be
realized. He expired the seventh day af
ter he was seized, while endeavoring to
speak to his friend, Captain Gordan, and
was buried under arms at sunset of the
saine day. Now, it was on the second
night after this mournful event, that Gor
dan, having retired to bed rather later
than usual, found himself unexpectedly
awake. He was not conscious of any dis
tressing thought or dream which should j
have occasioned this shortened slumber,
and as he commonly made but one nap
of the night, and as his rest had been lat
terly broken by the kind offices he had
rendered his comrade, he was half "sur*
prised at finding himself awake. He
touched his repeater and found it only
past one o'clock. He turned on the oth
er side, and composed himself afresh.
Thoughts of Ins friend caine over his
heart, and as his cheek reached the pillow,
he said : 'Poor Hamilton! Well, God
have mercy on us!' He felt at the mo
ment that some one near him said 'Amen,'
with much solemnity. He was effectual
ly roused and asked, 'Who is there]'
There was no reply. His voice seemed
to echo into Hamilton's late apartment,
and he then remembered that the door
was open that communicated between the
two rooms. He listened intently but
heard nothing save the beating of his own
heart. He said to himself, 'It is all mere
imagination;' and «gain endeavored to
compose himself, and think of something
else, lie laid his head once more on the
pillow, and then distinctly heard for the
first lime the Major's well-known voice, j
It was not a matter to he mistaken about. |
The ferule sound, the pause tor the foot, ]
the sound again measured in its return, as j
if all were again in life, ile heard it first •
upon the piazza; heard it approach; pass j
through the door from the piazza into the j
centre apartment, and there it seemed to !
pause, as if the figure of the departed was j
standing on the other side of that open
door, in the room it had so lately occupi
Oordan arose. He went to the win
that opened upon the piazza and '
Jooked out. 'J he night was very beauti- )
f u |. t | ïe moon had gone down; the sky i
was of the deepest azure, and the low dash
0 f (he waves upon the rocks at the foot
of the bluff", was the only thing that en
gaged his notice, except the extreme
the ocean. All else was still and repos
ed. 'It is very remarkable,' said he; 'I
could have sworn 1 heard it,' lie turned
brightness and lucidity of a solitary star |
thaï traced its elitteriu» pathway of Ikbt I
uim udtcu lis gimcuijj, pallida; ii_, ni
toward him, across the distant waters of
toward .he door that stood open between |
the two rooms. The Major s apartment i
was darkened by the shutters being clos
ed, and he could distinguish nothing in it.
He wished the door were shut, but felt a
repugnance at the idea of closing it, and
while he stood gazing into the dark room
the thought of being in the presence of a i
disembodied spirit rose in Ins mind, and,
though a brave man, he could not imme- I
diately control the bristling sensation of
j .. . , i ■ ,,
terror that began to possess him. He
longed for the voice of any living being;
and, though for a moment the idea of rid- j
icule deterred him, he determined on cals
ling up the officer who occupied the oth
er apartment. He passed out on the pi
azza, and as he approached the other ex
tremity of the building, the sentinel per
ceiving him, presented arms.
'Have you been long stationed here?'
said Captain Gordan.
«Halfan hour,' was the reply.
'Did you—did you happen to see any
one on the piazza during that time?'
'I did not.'
Gordan returned at once to his room,
vexed with himself for having been the
sportof an illusion ofhia own brain. He
closcd the door and window and went to
bed. He was now thoroughly awake, and
re g a, "ed, as lie thought, entire pos*

on the battle field itself. Why should I ;
have dreaded to meet him, even if such
an event could possibly'beî'
And yet, so constituted are we, that a
moment or two after this course of thought
had occupied his mind, he was almost
paralyzed with dread by the recurrence
of the same well-known step, that now
seemed pacing the dark and tenantiess
apartment, lie even fancied an irre^u
j larity in it, betokening, as he thought,
some distress of mind, and all that he had
ever heard of spirits revisiting the scenes
of their mortal existence, to expiate some
hidden crime, entered his imagination and
combined to make his situation awful
and appalling. It was, therefore, with
great earnestness that he exclaimed: 'In
the name of God, Hamilton, is that you.'
A voice from the threshold of the com
municating door addressed him in tones
that sank deeply into his soul: 'Gordan,
listen, but do not speak to me. In ten
days you will apply for a furlough; it will
not be granted to you. You will renew
the application in three weeks and then
it will be successful. Stay no longer in
Scotland than may be necessary for the
adjustment of your affairs. Go to Lon
don. Take lodgings at No.— Jermyn
street. You will be shown into an apart
ment looking into a garden. Remove a
panel from above the chimney-piece, and
you will there find papers which establish
the fact of my marriage, and will «rive
j you the address ot my wife and son
Hasten, for they are in deep distress, and
these papers will establish there rights.
Do not forget me!'
Captain Gordan did not recollect how
long he remained in the posture in which
he had listened to the spirit of his depar
ted friend; but when he arose it was broad
day. He dressed himself and went to
town; drew up a statement of the affair,
and authenticated it by his oath. He had
no intention of quittingthe colony during
the year, but an ariival brought intelli
gence of the death of his father, and of
his accession to a large estate. Within
the ten days he applied for a furlough, but
such had been the mortality among the
officers that the commanding officer
thought proper to refuse his request. An
other arrival having, however, brought to
the island a reinforcement for the garri
son, lie found the difficulty removed upon
a second application in three weeks. He
sailed for Scotland, arranged his affairs,
and intended immediately afierwaril to
have proceeded to London. He suffered
however, one agreeable engagement after
another to retard his departure and his
j friend's concerns, mid the preternatural
| v *sit that he h id received from him was
] no longer impressed so vividly as at first
j upon his mind. Une night, however, af
• ter » social party of pleasure, he awoke
j without apparent cause, as he had done
j 0,1 the eventful night in Dominica, and to
! his niter consternation, the sound of the
j Major's iron-step filled his ear. He star
ted from his bed, immediately rang up
' 1,s servant, ordered post horses, and lost
not a moment upon the way, until he ar^
' rived at the house in Jermyn street. He
) found the identical paper as he had ex
i pected. He relieved the widow and the
orphan of his unhappy friend, and esta
blished them as such in the inheritance to
which they ware entitled by his sudden
death; and the story reaching the ears of
| royalty, the young Hamilton was patron
I ized by the Queen of England, and early !
j ? , - :
obtained a commission in the army, to ^
which he was attached at the time this tale :
was told tome. It is also known that
Captain Gordan rose very high in milita
| ry career; and was throughout his life dis- ;
i tinguished as a brave and honorable ofii* ,
cer, and fortunate General.
Carious Facts From History.
The Saxons first introduced archery in
i the time of Voltigeur. It was dropped
immediately aller the conquest, but revi
I ved by the crusaders, they having felt the
effects of it from the Saracens who prob^
1.1 , <• ,i t» i • ' i»
ably derned it from the Parthians. Bows
and arrows, as weapons of war, were in
j use with stone cannon bail so late as 1640.
It is singular that all the statutes for the
encouragements of archery were framed
after the invention of gunxpowder and
fire-arms. Yew trees were encouraged
in church yards for the making of bows,
in 1482. Hence their generality in church
yards in England.
Coats of arms came into vogue in the
reign of Richard 1, of England and 'be
came hereditary in families about the year
î 192. They took their rise from the
knights painting their banners with dif
ferent figures to distinguish them in the
crusades.
The first standing army of modern
times was established by Charles VII, of
Fran ce, in 1445. Previous to that time
the king had depended upon hi, noble.
for contingents in time of war. A stand
ing army was first established in England
in 1638 by Charles I, but it was declared
illegal, as well as the organization of the
r ° ya ' g ''r, u , »
; nent military band instituted m England
was the yeomen of the guards, establish
3 • i jog
ed in 148b. _
Guns weie invented by Swartz, a Ger
man, about 1378, and were brought into
use by the Venetians in 1382. Cannon
; were invented at an anterior date. They
were first used at the battle of Cressy in
; 134,6. In England they were first used
at the seige of Berwick in 1405. It was
not until 1544, however, that they were
cast in England. They were used on
board of ships by the Venetians in 1Ô39,
and were in use among the Turks about
the same time. An artillery company
was instituted in England for weekly mil
itary exercises in 1610.
Insurance ofships was first practised in
j the reign of Cteuar, in 45. It was a gen
j eral custom in Europe in 1194. Insu
ranee offices were first established in Lon
don in 16Ü7.
