THE METEMPSYOHOSIS. a iinitMA.s i.r.dii.si). CO.NnL'l.ll. In onlur to fool my lii'iitoil brain, I went out to tlio open air, uiitl waiidor- otl about tliu streets. I wi utltlrosnt'tl by a niimbi'r of persons whom I tlitl not know j ami Mivcr.il of my aeijualnt- aiifw, to whom 1 inailvertantly spoke, tliil not know iiie. With thn former I was very short, answering their qucs- tions at raniloin, anil Kottlni; olfas kioii as ponilblc. To tho latter I could only npolool.e, aisurino; them that they had been mistaken by me for other persons. I felt niybltuatlon most unpleiiMiut; for besides thu coiiselousncss of no longer being myself, I was constantly running Into the most perplexing blunders. Vor Instance, nfter strolling about for a eon Mdernblo period, I canio, as It were, by it sort of Instinct, to my own lodgings. For a time I forgot my situation, and knocked at tho door. It was opened by my domestic, from whom I took tho cantllu which ho held in his hand, and at'CordltigtowontjWiilkedlntothostudy. -Mr. Stndt is not In, sir," said thu man following me, "perhaps you will sit till he comes: I expect him soon." This aroused niofr,dii my ruvorle, confirming too truly tho fact that I was changed. I started up from tho seat into which I had drooped, rushed past Ii lit i with dis may, and gained tho street. Hero 1 mado up my mind to return to Wol- stang's lodgings, which I accordingly did. in a mood which u condemned criminal could hardly envy. I kept thu houso for tho whole of tlio next day, employing myself in writing, in order tlmt tlio servants might at least seo some cause for my eonllneinent. Notwithstanding this, it wnscasy to ob servo that they perceived something unusual about inoj nndsuveral remarks which escaped them, convinced mo that they considered my head touched in no slight degree. Although I tlid all that 1 was ablo to composo myself, It wits Imposslhlt! that I could think llko Wol Htang, and still lens than 1 could know ft hundred private and household matters, on which tho pertLoulsoor sapient liar nnlms mndo ti point of consulting mo, Whenever I was spoken to concerning things that I knew, my answers weru kind and condescending; but on any point about which I was Ignorant, I utj terly lost temper, and peremptorily lor- bade them to repent It. lloth shook their heads nt such Inconsistent behav ior nnd it was soon bruited among tho neighbors, that lr. Albert WoNtaiig had parted with his senses. Tlioseeond day nrrived.and found mo In thosamo statoof mind. Tho amazement which succeeded tho discovery of my metamorphosis had Indeed given way and 1 could look at my reflection in tho mirror with less pain than at first ; but my feelings wero still embittered as ov or, and I urdently longod fur dentil to put and end to such Intolerable misery Whllo brooding over theso matters, tho door of tho study opened. Thinking It was ono of tho domestics, I paid mint tentiou to It ; but In a moment I heard a sneeze, which mndo my flesh to creep. and In another, tho littlo man with tho snuff-colored surtout, tho scarlet waist coat, mul tho wooden leg, inailo his np pearanco, Binco I last saw this old ft1 low, I had conceived iv mortal hatred against hi in. I thought, nil though thu Iden was wild enough, that ho had somo hfiml In my Metempsychosis; and tho nffnir of tlio scales and tho marhlo busts, togcthur with, hi, 1'y thagorenn opinions, his vast learning, his geoniaiicy nml n$ trology, gave to my Idea rt strong con firmation. On tho present occasion, his politeness was excessive ; ho bowed nl most to tho ground, mndo fifty apolo gies for Intruding, nnd Inquired with tho most outre affectation of tenderness Into thu state of my health. Ho then seated himself opposite to mo, laid his cocked hat upon tho table, took n pinch of stitiir, and commenced Ills intolerable system of .sneezing. I was never less In a humor to relish anything like foppery. So throwing myself back upon tho chair putting on as commanding a look as I could, nnd looking ut him fiercely, I said, "So, sir, you are back again ; I sup pose you know mo'.'" "Know you, my dear friend eh yes, I derived great pleasure lu being mado acquainted with you the day before yes terday. You nro Mr. Frederick Stadt that Is to say, you aru Mr. Albert Wol stnng." (,1 sneeze.) "Then you know that I nm not my self V" "My dear friend," replied ho, with ti smile, "I hinted as much as tho last time I saw you." "And pray how tlid you ascertain that?" "You don't ask mo such n iiuestlon," saldjho, with an air of surprise ; "I kniiw It by your signature." "My own signature V,l know not what you mean by my signature." "Kli eli tho signature, you know that Is, tho compact you made with Wolstang." "1 know of no compact," cried I, In a passion ; "nordld 1 ever make one with any man living. I defy either you or Wolstang to produce any such Instru ment." "I believe It Is In my pocket nt this very moment. Look hero my dear sir." And ho brought out a small manuscript book, and turning up tho leaves, point ed tn view tho following words: "I hereby, In consideration of the sum of fifty gilders, give to Albert Wolstang tho me of my body, nt any tlmo ho Is disposed, provided that, for tho time be ing, ho gives mo tho use of his. FitKrimticic Stadt. "It Is forgery," said I, starting up with fury; "a deccptio vltus, nt least; something liko your scales." "What about tho scales, my dear friend?" said ho with a whining voice. "Go," replied I ; "Into that room.nnd you shall sec." Ho accordingly went, but returned immediately, saying that heobserved nothing remarkable. "Not" said I, rising up; "then I shall take the trouble to point it out to you." My as tonishment may be better conceived than described, when instead of the small apothecary's scales, I beheld tho Im mense ones In which I had been weigh ed two days before. I felt confouded and mortified, and returned with him to the study, muttering somethlngnbout deccptio rhiu, necromancy, nnd demon ology. " ell," continued I.nfterrecovenng a little, "what about this compact; when and where was it mado'."' It is mado somo threo days ago, nt tho Devll's-hoof Tavern. You may remember that you and Wolstang wero milking then1 nt that time." "Yes, 1 remember it well enough; but 1 understood that I wnspiittlng in nnuio to a receipt for fifty gliders which lio paid me. I never read the writing; I merely subscribed it." That wasapity ; for really you have bound yourself as firmly ns signing with a person's own blood can do." 111. I I cl.oi 11 M ill. n- nu'ii l.lon.l said I, alarmed. " ICxactly so. You may recollect cut ting youi finger. I bad tho pleasure of stanching tlio blood ; a sufllcleut iiuan tlty of which was nevertheless collected to write this document," "Then you wero present," said I "yes, I have a recollection of your face, now thatyoumentlon thocircuinstnnce. You wero then dressed as it clergyman, if I iiii-tako not." Precisely." And what," continued I, "aro tho conditions on which I hold this strange existence? Suppose Wolstang dies?" "Then you keep his body till tho natural period of your own death.' " Supposo I die?" " Ho then keeps your body." "Then if bodies, my body Is burled and goes to decay, while lam clogged up lu his body, till relieved from it by death?" " Precisely." This announcement struck mo with terror. "And shall I never," said I, weeping, "seo my dear body again?" 'You may seo it, if ever Wolstang comes in your way." " JIutsluill I never possess It ; shall 1 never bo my self ugaln?" " Not unless ho pleases." "Tho vllllnnl" uxclnlmed I, in an agony of grief.- "f am then undono; tho fool of a heartless .unprincipled mlscie ant. Is my caso hopeless?" 'O no. my dear friend," said tho lit' tlo man, "not at all hopeless: there Is nothing simpler than tlio remedy. Only put your name hero, and you will bo yourself In ft minute. Tlio fellow will then lo.-o all power over your lioily." I seized with avidity tlio pen which ho nresented tome, dipped Ulna vial of red Ink, and was proceeding to dons ho directed, when tho writing abovecauglit in v eye. It ran thus,: "I hereby engage, nfter my natural decease, to give over my soul to tho owner of this book." " Zounds!" said I, "what Is tills?" "It Is nothing at all; Juta form, u mere form of business, of no Intrlnsl meaning. If you would Just write you name : it is verv'easlly done." "llasanv other nerson signed sue! deeds?" demanded I. " Many a one. Here, for example, Is Wolstang's name attached to a similar contract. It Is, lu fact, by virtue of this that ho has the power over your body, Tho deed which you havosigned would havuavnlled him nothing without this ono," "Then." said 1," If you rellovo mo from my present condition, you break fulthwlth Wolstiuig, Boeing that you deprive him of his stipulated power." " I deprlvo him of his power over you, but I glvo lilm In return it similar power over somo other person, which will answer his purpose equally well. I think you had better Hlgn." "No.youold villain I" said I, wrought up to n pitch of fury nt thelnfcrnal plan which I saw ho was meditating ; "I will nover sign your compact. I have re ligion enough to know tho valuo of my soul, and siilllclent philosophy to bear with any wretchedness I may endure under my present form. You may play the Devil If you choose, but you shall never get mo to act the part of Dr. Fausttis." I pronounced these words lu n voice of thunder; but, so far from hc Ingnngry, ho used every endeavour to soothu mo; made a thousand apologies for having been tlio unwilling cause of such n commotion; then snatching up his bat, and making a profound bow, ho left thu room. A glow of conscious virtue passed over mo on his departure. I found that I had resisted evil, and gloried in the thought; but this triumphant feeling gavo way to ono of revengo ngulust the' author of my calamity. After reflecting for n short time, It occurred to mo that tho best way to punish him would bo to commit some outrage which might stamp him with Infamy, and render him miserable If hoover thoughtof resuming his body. "I shall at least havo hlmexpelled from the University. This shall bo tho first blow directed ngninst his comfort. He will in tlmo become weary of my body, and will find very littlo satisfaction in his own when ho takes it into his head 1 to mako au exchange." Full of these ideas, I entered the collcgo-court,whcre tho first object thot mot my eyes was Doctor Dedimus Dunderhead coming towards mo; the baton In his hand, the spectacles on his earhunclo nose, nnd his head thrown back as ho strutted along a la mttltalre. Without ft moment's hesitation, I advanced up to him, und knocked off his cocked hat; nor did I stop to seo how ho looked at this extra ordinary salutation, but walked delib erately on. I heard hi in distinctly call after me, "You shall bear of this, sir, by to-morrow." " When you pleaso.doctor," was my answer., "Now, Master Wol stang," said I to myself, "I have driven you from Gottlugcn College, and wish you much Joy of your expulsion." Such were my thoughts, and tho morrow verified them : for a meeting of the Senatus Acadcmlcus being summoned by tho provost, that learned body de clared Albert Wolstang unfit to be a member of tho University, and lie was cordlngly placarded upon thn gate id expelled, m terrorem. Tills circumstance being Just what I .anted gavo mo no uneasiness ; but a few days thereafter an event arouso out of it, which subjected me to much In convenience. Having unwittingly strol led into tho college, I was rudely col hired by ono of tho officers, which so enraged me that I knocked tho fellow down with a blow of my fist. For this I was apprehended tho sanio day by three gendarmes, and carried beforo tho yndlc, who condemned mo to suffer two week's close confinement, and to bo fed on bread and water. Tho punish- lent, though perhaps not dlspropor- tloneil to the otrenco, was, lu my esti mation, horribly severe; and now, for tho first time, did I feel regret for tho absurdity of my conduct. I full nil that in endeavouring to punish Wolstang I was In truth only punishing my self, and that it was a matter of doubt whether ho would ever submit to a corporeal change, seeing that my for tune was much moro considerable than his own, and that he would come at it in thocourso of six months. This Iliad no doubt was the chief consideration which could have Induced the fellow to bring about such a metamorphosis. On getting out of prison I was tlio most miserable wretch on earth. Tho flerco desire of vengeance had formerly kept up my spirits; but this was now gone, and they sunk to tho lowest pitch. I found that 1 was spurned by those cry persons who wero beforo most anxious to cultivate my friendship. liarnnbas ami Louiso had left me, re- olving no longer to serve ono who hail undergone tho punishment of n male factor. In order to clear up matters, I frequently called at my own houso to Inquire If I myself was at homo; for so was I obliged to speak of tho miscreant who hail possession of my body, but on every occasion I was niisworod In thu negative. " I had gone out to seo a friend lu town." " I had gono to the wintry." "I was expected soon." Never by any possibility could I get a sight ol myself. All this convinced mo that tho case was hopeless, ami that I must mako tho best of my deplorable situation. Wolstang had evidently played my part much better than I did Ills, for lie had an Interest .In doing so, and was (thanks to my simplicity) In- tlmntely acquainted with tho state or my nffairs. If any thing could add to this Irritation, It was to notlco the' Im provements, or rather changes, which tho fellow was making In my house. Kvery thing wbb turned upside-down. Many or tho most valuable books In my library wero brought to tho hammer, mid replnced by more modern works. Somo antique MSS. found ninong thu ruins of Pompeii, nnd on which I set a high value, wero disposed of In tho same manner ; together with my porphyry siiuIMmix, my mother's diamond ring, my Illuminated missal, nnd tho Arable autograph of tho Koran. Tho money produced by theso valuable rellcH was aid out lu now palntingmy study, nnd lu fitting it up with Chlneso Mandarins, silken pagodas, and other pieces of east ern trumpery.

The Milwaukee Sentinel vouches for tho following remarkable incident: Near ono of our grain warehouses situate on the rlvor bank, largo swarms of rate havo been In the habit of feast ing on tho wheat which has been scat tered around. A few days ago a terrier getting wind of tho rendezvous, made on attack upon neoupioof rats that had ventured too far Into tho open ulr. Sei zing ono In Its teeth, It shook It vigor ously. Tho rnt squealed plteously, at tracting to tho spot n dozen or moro companions. These, on seeing the situ ation of affairs, Joined In raising tlio alarm. In less time than It takes us to tell tho story, tho Ico around was black with a swarm of rats, numbering sev eral hundreds. Tho terrier, after dis patching tho first victim, charged Into tho swarm with the evident determina tion of serving tho remainder In liko manner. Hut for once a terrier was doomed to meet with fight from tho poor animals he had so long devoured ut pleasure, and In n trlco ho was sur rounded ou itll sides by a swarm of fe- J roclous brutes anxious to bo avenged for tho death of thelrcompitnton. Then ensued the most frightful scone imag inable. Tho rats swarmed around their ndversary and fastened their claws and teeth Into his flesh. The dog, enraged by tho pain, fought bravely, killing; scores of his enemies In his contest for life. But tho odds against him wero too great, and after a sharp conflict, which lasted for about flvo minutes, he was forced to succumb. His body was Utcr- ully devoured by tho rats, they seeming to take a savage pleasure in tearing their vanquished, enemy to pleoa-moal. Scarcely a vestige of tho animal re mained behind. The terrier died game, howover, for thero were about half n hundred rats left upon tho field, bleed ing and mangled, nnd ns many more, moro or lass Injured. " A singular instance of tho kindli ness of dumb animals to their fellows was noticed at the conclusion of tho combat. A number of the combatants had been somewhat lacerated by tho teeth of tho dog. Their companions gathered in groups around them, licked the blood from their wounds, and then tenderly carried them in their' teeth to their nest. The bodies of the slain wore as tenderly cared for. Ono by one they were carried away to a hole lu the Ico near by, where they 'were piled up. When all tho bodies had boon gathered together, tho turvlvors grouped around them, and ono of the number, mount ing upon the pile of bodies, seemed to deliver a brief funeral oration over the remains of their companions. Tho utmost stillness reigned nnvong tho company during tho address of their chief. Tho whole company then pro. ceeded to tumble their dead companions into tho water, where they soon sank from sight. In half an hour scarcely a vestige of tho conflict remained.

TJie troubles of that country are of too re cent date, nnd nro oven continuing nt this writing, that their successive recital lu this Instance would bo entirely su perfluous. As a matter of record, how ever, It should bo stated hero that It was under the direction of the French Commander, acting under especial or ders of Napoleon, that tho Assembly'of Mexican notables sent, In 180.1 ; a depu tation of their number to offer tlio Mexican crown to tho Archduke Maxi milian, then chief in command of the Austrian navy. Their address wns pi e scntcd to hi in on tho 3d of September, 18C3, to which ho replied on tho 8d of the succeeding month, accepting the crown upon condition tlmt thu people of Mexico should express their willing ness to acknowledge him ns their Em peror by giving him n majority of their votes, which should bo cast for that purpose. On the 10th of April, ISO!, Prince Maximilian again received the Mexican deputation at Mirnmar, nnd formally uccepted the crown of Mexico. Full of hope, nnd determined to rnlso tho fallen fortunes of that unhappy country, Maximilian, and his wifo Car lotta, Leopold II. King of Belgium, soon set sail for their now empire, nml after a brief Interval tho fleet reached Vera Cruz towards the end of May. It was, however, not beforo the 2d of June that tho Emperor formally mado ids entry into the capital of Mexico. Tho successes and roverses of the French army, whllo battling with the numer ous bands of dissidents, who never ceased to oppose tho new empire, are now matters of history, and would, mo doubt, have culminated in their entire overthrow, but for the withdrawn! of theso French troops Just nt ii time when Maximilian though with n depleted treasury, was doing his utmost to revive trade and commerce; and was applying all Ids energies to devclopo various- re sources which could not hnvu failed In course of time to increase tho material welfare of tho Mexican people. Aban doned by France or rather by Napo leonMaximilian bravely, but reck lessly, endeavored with his small band , of warriors to oppose the constan'tly Increasing Liberal army, until finally, through tho treachery of n man named Lopez, whom ho had ladened with lion- 'TM ors,,thecItyof Quondam, which howe-jj valiantly ilefoiumie:, fell Into the hands of Esco'oedo, and he himself was made a prisoner of war, subsequently "tried" . by court-martial, and, ns tho telegraph announces, found guilty, and executed . on tho l'Jth of Juno. His widow, Car- lotta, now in Europe at latest dates, had ,' been informed of the critical situation in which Maximilian found himself; and there can be hut littlo doubt tho 'ifj sick and at times deranged ex-Empress, when mado aware of tho fate which nasi, , f befallen her unfortunate husband, Tvllll,t-. bo unable to withstand tho shock to her nervous system, nnd perhaps succumb, VC oven beforo the body of tho executed Emperor reaches the shores of his native land. NEano Superstition. The Baton Rouge (Ln.) AdcertUer says: " A grand order seems to havo been Issued from tho great Fetish of tho Voo doos, and thero is no end to the 'conjur ing' going on. A friend of ours found in his pillow twenty-three Voodoo charms. They wero Intended to put him out of tho world, hut they tlid not work well. As theso Voodoo conjurors aro spreading their 'eonjuro balls' In every direction, it would bo well that the first conjuror caught should bu dealt with according to law. Tho Fetisii superstition is most pow erful among tho colored community, and among the most depraved anil Igno rant of them it overrides all religious sentiment or scruple. In Now Orleans it is stated that the assemblies of the Voodoo priests are now frequently held In secret. Their orgies ore described as tho most degrading and Indecent. They all appear naked and dnuco around u large iron pot in which n compound of snake heads, toads and lizards isslowing. The charms aro distributed by ttiecu priests, nnd are supposed to possess-prr tectlvo or destructive powers, ftccur jmg to the form In which they aro made They tiro com posed generally of feathers interwoven In various forms, and tho quills aru saturated with somo poisonous compound. A Lono Kick. Two Irishmen, en gaged in peddling packnges of linen, bought an old mule to nld in carrying the burdens. Ono would ride awhile, then the other, currying thu bales of lin en ou a mule. One day the Irishman, who wns on foot, got closu up to tho mule's hip, when he received a kick on one of his shins.
