FOR the wildest, yet most homely narrative which I am about to pen, I
neither expect nor solicit belief. Mad indeed would I be to expect it, in a
case where my very senses reject their own evidence. Yet, mad am I not --
and very surely do I not dream. But to- morrow I die, and to-day I would
unburthened my soul. My immediate purpose is to place before the world,
plainly, succinctly, and without comment, a series of mere household
events. In their consequences, these events have terrified -- have tortured
-- have destroyed me. Yet I will not attempt to expound them. To me, they
have presented little but Horror -- to many they will seem less terrible than
barroques. Hereafter, perhaps, some intellect may be found which will
reduce my phantasm to the common-place -- some intellect more calm,
more logical, and far less excitable than my own, which will perceive, in
the circumstances I detail with awe, nothing more than an ordinary
succession of very natural causes and effects.
From my infancy I was noted for the docility and humanity of my
disposition. My tenderness of heart was even so conspicuous as to make
me the rest of my companions. I was especially fond of animals, and was
indulged by my parents with
a great variety of pets. With these I spent most of my time, and never was
so happy as when feeding and caressing them. This peculiarity of
character grew with my growth, and, in my manhood, I derived from it one
of my principal sources of pleasure. To those who have cherished an
affection for a faithful and sagacious dog, I need hardly be at the trouble of
explaining the nature or the intensity of the gratification thus derivable.
There is something in the unselfish and self-sacrificing love of a brute,
which goes directly to the heart of him who has had frequent occasion to
test the paltry friendship and gossamer fidelity of mere Man.
