I know! yet my at-tiis ato empty, 'Hint loudly folded ee-ven, Aud the mother heart v.-Uhlu mo It almoststnrved for heaven.

THE WALPURGIS-NIGHT. It. ZSCII0KKB. THE TEMPTEH. I found myself far from homo on business at 1'raguo. It was In April. Howovcr ngrceablo tlio tllvra'slon, I could not suppress my home-sickness. I longed for our llttlo town, where my young wifo had been impatiently ex pecting my return nlready for Eovon weeks, SInco our wedding-day wolmd never boforo been so long separated. It is true, Fanny sent mo letters ovoiy week; but theso lines, so full of love and fondness and melancholy, wore on ly oil to the ilro. I wislit-d Prague ami St. Neponiuc Just four-and-tliirty miles behind mo to tho north-east. To him, who has not a lovely little wlfo of two-and-twenty, charnilug iw lovo, with two llttlo loves playing around her, and who is not, after-flvo years of married life, flvo hundred times more in lovo than on tho day be fore his wedding, in vain do I talk of my home-sickness. Enough, I thanked heaven when all my business was finished; and taking leave of my few acquaintances ami friends, told my host to make out my liill. I was to set off on tho morrow with tho post. In the morning tholandiord appeared with a pretty heavy account, I had not ready money enough to pay it and tho expenses of tlio journey too. I wi.-hed to elianSo u note, I felt for my pocket-book, and sought It in all my pockets, and iu all corners. It was gone. I felt very uncomfortably, for there weio more than fourteen hundred dol lars In bills in it, and that is uo trlllo under tlio sun. It was In vain that I turned tho room topsy-turvy tho pocket-book was not forthcoming. "I might havo known It," said I to myself. "Lot a mim bo happy for ono moment lu his life, tho duvil is sitting behind tho hedgo ready to play him a trick. Ono ought not to rejolco in any tiling In tills world, and then should wo havo less vexation and misery. How often havo I found It so I" Tlio pocket-book was either stolen or lot. I had it iu my hands only tho day bofore ; I wan accustomed to carry It In tlio breast-pocket of my coat. Fan ny's lotters weio there too. I was cer tain that I hud felt It tlio night before when undressing. How now were my bank-notes to bo recovered ? Whoever luiil got them could easily chango them into gold aud silver. I began to swear, which, by tlio way, Isnot my besetting sin. Had tlio ovll onogono about still, ns in tlio good old times, although as a roaring lion, I should havo struck a bargain with him on tho spot. As my thoughts took this turn, there suddenly occurred to mo tlio rccollevtion of a llgure, that I had sccu at billiards about a week before, In a eloso red coat, and that then seemed to mo llko a prince of darkness in human shape. My blood actually rail cold at tlio vemenibraneo ! and yet I was so dcspeiute, that I thought to myself, "I don't care, for my pad ! Y'er0 1,0 llcro now ho would bo right welcome, If ho would only bring mo my pocket-book.' Just then somoono knocked nt tho door. "Holla I" thought I : "tho temp ter Is not goluB 1 tnko n Joko In earn est." 1 ran to the door; my mind was ..n f the iiln, (-. . rt 'l-c . t, wl I r .a- l And loi win Ueriui tuiprlaol-win n I 'ii ' Mr '1 tii ' ii ;', vvi'It ii WllttllTI 10 alight nod, tho very tempter I was thinking ol. A MollE l'AUTlCL'LAlt DEfJCIlirTION. I must relate how ami whero I had inadothu actiuaintanco of this appari tion, Hint tho reatler may not constiler mo a mero victim of my Imagination. 1 luiil gono ono evening to n colleo- houso or ca.3lno,wlicro an acquaintance hadouco before carried mo to play bil liards. I hoped tt find tho latest news papers. At a small table sat two gen tlemen, engaged at chess. Some young men weio sitting at a window, In live ly conveisatluu about ghosts and tho natiiro of tho human soul. A llttlo el derly man, In a scarlet cloak,wos walk ing up and down tho room with his hands behind him. I took n glass of Dantzle cordial and tho newspaper. No ono attracted my attention so much its tlio gentleman in scarlet. 1 lorgot the newspaper and tlio Spanish war. There was, in his figure, in his movements, nml in his features, kouio tliiiiff stiikins and repulsive which cor responded with his evident want of tasto in div-w. Ho w.tu something un der the usual iiii'.e, but large-boned and broad-shouldered, llo seemed to bo be tween fifty and sixty years of age, and had a stoop In his walk. His coal-black hair hung thick about his head. His lawny complexion and his liawk's-no.s and high check-bones gavo him a very repelling look. For, whilo his features wcrocold and iron, his largo eye spark led like the eye of a young man ; and yet one read In it no inspiration, no soul. There thought I is n born execu tioner, or grand Inquisitor, or robber captain, or glpsy-klng. For it merejest that man could set cities on ilro or seo children stuck upon pikes. 1 would not llko to travel alono in a wood with him Ho lias never smiled in all his life. Thero 1 was mistaken. Ho could smile. Ho listened to tho young men at the window, and smiled. But, God bo with us! whatnsmilo! It chilled me liko ice. Tho malico of tho infernal regions seemetl to mock ono from every feature. "If that man thero in tlio red coat Is not S-itmi himself," thought I, "I'o must bo Satan's brother." I looked involuntarily at his feet for tho cloven foot, and, sure enough, ho had ono hu man foot liko ours, but his left was a club foot in a laced boot: yet he did not limp with it, but walked softly about as if among egg-shells, which ho did not caro to break. He ought to have let hlm-olf bo exhibited for ready money, to make all tho Voltaires believers. I entirely forgot the Spanish war. 1 held tho nowspapcrbeforemo, it is true but kept peeping over it at this remark ablo ilgure. As the red coat passed tho chess-table one of tho players said to his antagonist who seemed to bo somewhat embarras sed, "You aro lost now, beyond salva tion." Tho red coat stopped a moment cast a glanco upon tho board, nnd re marked to tho victor "You nro mista ken. In three moves you will bo cheek mated." Tho wiuner smiled haughti ly; his opponent shook his head despair ngly, and moved , at tho third movo the supposed victor was actually check mated. Whilst the chess-players wero replac ing their men, ono of tho young men at tho window said warmly to tho red coat "You smile, sir; our dbcusvion appears to interest you ; but your smile tells ine that you aro of a different opin ion about the world and the Pie'y. Havo you read Scliolling?" "Oh, yes !" said tlio led coat. "And what does your smilo mean'."' "Your Schelllng is a sharp-minded poet who takes tlio tricks of his imagi nation for truth, because no one can op pose him, except with other fancy webs which only require still greater acuto ness to weavo them. It is with philos ophers now-a-days i5 over; tl.o blir.d dts puteabout theory of colors.and thodo.if nbout tlio laws of mu.ic. Alexander would willingly havo been shipwreck ed against the moon, Iu order to subdue it; and philosophers, dissatisfied in the sphere of reason, want to bo superation al." So said the red coat; somo distur bance arose. But ho waited not, but took his hat and glided away. I had not seen him since, hut I did not forget tho striking tlgtiro and tlio in fernal physiognomy, nud 1 was really frightened at tho thought of dreaming about them. And now ho stood unexpectedly bo foro mo in my room ! THE TEMPTATION. "Pardon, sir, if I disturb you," said ho ; "havo I the honor to address Mr. Robert V" "I am that person," I replied. "How do you provo It?" "Strango questions," thought I; "n police spy, without doubt." A half-torn letter lay on tho table. I showed him my address on tho envelope. "Very good," said he, "but tho name is a very common ono; you may llnd it in overy comer of Germany, Hunga ry and Poland. You must glvo mo bet ter vouelujro; I Iitivosonio business with you and havo been directed hither." "Sir," said I, "pardon mo, I cannot now attend to business; I am just upon tho point of leaving, and havo yet a thousand things to sco about. You must lio mistaken in tha person, for I am neither politician nor merchant. Ho stared at nie.and said "Indeed!" He was then silent for awhile, and ap peared about to depart; but began again i "You have, however, been do ing some business hero in Praguu? Is not your brother upon tlio point of be coming bankrupt?" I must havo grown ilre-rcd, for, as I believed, that was known to no soul In tho world except my brother and my self. Hero tho tempter gnvo ono of his malicious smiles again. "You aro again mistaken, sir," said I; "I havo n brother, it Is true, and more tlitin ono.butnoiio that fears bank ruptcy." "Indeed," murmured tho tempter, (I hi - features nt;aln beeunio hard ami Mr, nii'i i, ( ui l i nut at u'l ul'i"cl that any 'WfWrtWlMMW we COIi. ono In Prague should know of my brother's clrcumstp.nces, and I was afraid that tho old fox would seo Into my play ns ho did into tho gamo of chess nt tho cofieo-house, "you havo certainly been directed to tho wrong person. I must beg pardon for request ing you to bo brief; I havo not a mo ment to lose." "Havo patienco only a uilntito," re plied he; "it Is important for mo Unit 1 should speak with you.

But I have conslderablo oxperiencc. Confide lit me. You look llko an honest innti. Do you need money?" Ihen ho smiled, or rather grinned again in if ho wanted to buy my soul. His manner became ever moro suspic ious. Involuntarily I east a glanco at his club foot, ami really I began to feel a superstitious dread. I wus resolved in no ca-jo to commit myself with tills siq leious gentleman, and said, "I need no money. Since you arc so generous in your offers, sir, may I ask your ns 'no?" "My name cannot hoof much conse quence to you," replied ho; "that's nothing to tlio mntter. I am a Mnntlo vlllo. Does thnt nnmo give more ton iklcnco?" "A Mtui-dcvll ." saltl I, in odd em-barra-sment, and knew not what to say or whether tho whole thing were in Jot or in earnest. Just then some ono knocked at tho door. Tlio landlord entered, nnd lianel- cil mo n letter which had just como by post. "Rend your letter first," said the red coat, "and thon wo will talk further. Tho letter is, without doubt, from your lovely Fanny." I was moro startled than over. "Now do you know," continued tho stranger with a grin : "do you not now know who I am, nnd what I want with you?" It was upon my lips to say : "You aro, sir, I verily believe, Satan himself and want my poor soul for a breakfast,' but I restrained mygclf. 3 j,"But further," added lie,"you aro go ing toEgcr. Goodl'my way lies through that town. I start to-morrow. Will you take a place in my carriage ?" I thanked 1dm, and said that I had already ordered a post-chaise. At this ho became disturbed, and said, "There is no getting at you, but your Fanny, and tho littlo Leopold and Augustus, I must get acquainted with in going through. Can you not guess who I am and what I want? Tlio Douco ! Sir, I would render you a ser vice. Do speak." . "Well," said I at last, "slnco you nro a wizard, my pocket-book is missing. Advise mo how I shall get It again." "Boh! what6iguiflcs a pocket-book? Is there not something elso ?" "But In tho pocket-book wero Impor tant papers moro thau fourteen hun dred dollars in value. Advlsomo what I shall do if it is lost, and what, if sto len." "How did tho pocket-book look?" "It had a silk cover, llgbtgreeu, with embroidery, and my initials wrought in flowers, a piece of my wifo's work.' "Then tho cover is worth moro than tho fourteen hundred dollars." Witli this ho smiled upon me with his horri ble familiarity, and then added, "we must see about It. What will you glvo me, if I supply your loss?" At these words he looked at mo as sharply and slningolv ui if lto expected me to answer, I will niako you a pres ent of my soul ; but as I remained em barrassed and silent, ho plunged his hand into his pocket and drew out my pocket-book. "Thero have you your Jewel, tho four teen hundred dollars, and nil," said he. I was besiilo myself. "How catno you by it?" cried I, tearing it open, nnd finding all safe. "I found it yesterday afternoon, about four o'clock, upon tho Moldau Bridge." Right: just about that timo I had erossetl the bridge, had had tho pocket book iu my hands, and had, as I tho't, put it into my pocket. "It probably did not go into tho pock et," sitltl the red coat. "But I could not tell whether it had been lost by n person on foot or on horseback, before or bo hlnd mo. I waited an hour upon tho bridge, expecting to moot somo ono in search of It. As no ono came, I went to my hotel. I read the contents of tho letters, to tllscovor tha loser. An ad dress gavo mo your namo ami residence hero. So I havo como now to you, I was hero last evening but did not find yon." Good heavens ! How ono may bo do colved by a man's physiognomy I I was ready to throw my a'rms around tho neck of my Mnn-dovil. I said tho most obliging things to him. My Joy was now as execssivo as my previous vexation had been. But bo would lis ten to nono of my thanks. I vowed that as long as I lived 1 would never again trust to physiognomical Impres sions. "Remember mo to your beautiful Fan ny, a pleasant Journey to you! wo shall sco erchjother again," said ho, and do parted. (Continued.) This Yeah and the Metiiodisth.

Onk of tho moit remarkable occur rences that has over come to our know ledge was related to us yesterday. Mr. Jnmes Broil, a farmer, who resides nbout seven miles from tlio city, on tho River road, lias forsomcllmo past, been engaged extensively In raising honoy bees, nnd with almost unprecedented success. Ho has lately rejoiced In as many ns forty-fivo hives. A fow morn ings ago, howovcr, Mr. Broil woko up to And his bees nonest. Thoy had "lit out" between two days.leavingnotraco whatovor of tho point or region of coun try to which they liadso unceremonious ly migrated. Tlioro was not a solitary beo left to keep ids lonely watch over tho foi ty-flvo hives. As might bo ex pected, Farmer Broil was left lu con sidernblo of a dilemma, and Immediate ly consulted nil tho authorities nt his command in relation to tho peculiar habits and freaks of tho beo tribe. After reading through many volumes, It occurred to him that somo of ills neighbours might boablo to explain tho whys nnd wherefores of this "bounty Jumping" movo on tlio p.irtof his army of lioncy-mnkcrs. Ho accordingly made "bee-lines" for tlio resldenco of his near est neighbor, to consult him on tho sin gular problem. To his utter surprise, lie ascertained that his friend, who is also a "beoist," had met met with tho samo loss in thesaine sudden manner, and was In the samo perplexity as to tho came. They at onco resolved on examining tho hives, and it revealed to them tho fact that each stand contained from sixty to scventy-flvo pounds of nonoy. Tins development led tho two beo-raisors to seek for further informa tion, and in tlicir rounds, for a circuit of twenty-flvo miles, thoy found that every hivo had been deserted about tho samo time, and all of them were left full of honey. Tho farmers In that re gion aro unablo to account for tills mys terious dlsappeatnnco of their boes, and many theories havo been advanced, but up to this timo tlio problem remains unsolved. The opinion of most of them is that tho mildness of tho weather up to so lato a season caused this singular iiiigration."Xoui8fi7eZe'mocra.A'oi'.10. Tup. Lahoest Blast on Recoud. A short distanco below Barryville, on the lino of tho Delaware & Hudson Ca nal, a large mass of rock has been for some timo regarded with anxioiu o yes by tlio company. Fears wero enter, taincd that it might during the season of navigation bo precipitated into tho canal, an event which could not cost the corporation less than half n million of dollars. It was finally determined to tako timo by tho forelock, and ills lodge tho mass in tho winter season, nnd accordingly on Friday last, tho thing was accomplished. Twenty-flvo i:egs or powder having been deposited in a fissure and well tamped with sand tho match was applled,and nt ono blast tho Immcnso body known ns "Hanging Rock" was hurled from its foundation. About half of tho mass lodged in the bed of tho canal and tho balanco crush ing the tow-patli liko an egg-shell, made Its way into tho river. Tho rock was of tho following dimensions : 97 feet long, 81 foot high and 8 feet thick. Containing upward of 0,000 cubic yards its weight was over twenty thousand tons tho largest mass, It is believed, ever dislodged at ono blast. It is cal culated thnt at an expenso of nbout $10, COO tho portion lying In tho canal can bo removed by tho middlo of March-somo timo before tlio possiblo opening of nav igation. Il'tfne Co., Herald. Dead Man's Gulch. In California a miner had died in a mountain dig ging, nntl being much respected, his ac quaintances resolved to give him a "square funeral," instead of putting tlio body in tho usual way in any roughly made hole, aud saying by way of ser vices for the dead. "Thero goes another bully boy under ! They Bought tho ser vice of a miner who bore the reputation of having,at ono timo of his career, been "a powerful preacher in tho States." And then, far Western fash Ion, nil knelt around the grave while tho extemporized parson delivered n prodigiously long prayer. Tho miners tired of this unaccostomed opiate, to while away tho tlmo, began Angering tho earth, dljrccr fashion, about tho grave. Gradually looks were exchang ed; whispering increased, until it bo- eamo loud enough to attract tho atten tion of tlio parson. Ho opened his eyes and stared nt tho whispering miners "What Is it boys?" Then ns suddenly his eyes lighted on sparkling scales of gold, ho shouted, "Gold, byjingo! nnd tho richest kind j'dlgglngs' tho con gregation's dismissed 1" Instantly ev ery man began to prospect tho now dig glng, our eiorlcal friend not being tho least octlvo of tho number.

Wk do not think that any boy ever put on his first long-tailed coat without a sonso of shame. Ho first twists Ills back hftlfofriooklngat It in tho glar , and then when ho step! out f doors, it seems ns If all creation was .n u broad grin. Tho8Uiilauglis,lntliosUv,tho cows stop to look at him; there mo faces at overy window; his very shauiw mocks htm. Tlio very boards creak with con sciousness of tho Btr.tngo spectacle, and thoold pair of pantaloons that stop alight in thogarrot window nod with derision.

Tlio entrance into society may bo s.ild to tako piaeo after boyhood has passetl away, yet n niullliudo tako tho Inltlativo before their hearts are presentable. It is a great trial to rt tender or tough ago. For any oVergrown boy to go to n door, knowing there aro a dozen of girls within, and knock or ring with absolute certaiiuy in two minutes all their eyes will be upon him, is a severe test of courage. To go be fore these girls and mako a s itlsfactory lour of tho room without stepping on their toes, and then sit down and dis pose of one's hands without putting them in ono's pockets, is mi achieve ment of which fow can boast. If a boy can getso far as to measure on ten yards of tapo with ono of tho girls, ind cut It short at ono end, ho may stand a chanco to spend a pleasant cvenin0 ; but let him not flatter himself that tho trials of tho evening aro over. There comes at last tho break-up. Tho dear girls don their hoods and put on their shawls aal look so saucy, so mischievoui and un-imprei-dblo, as if they did not with any one to go homo witli them; Then conns tlio pinch, and tho boy having tho inr t pluck makes up to the prottldt girl, hu heart in his throat, and his tongue clinging to the roof of his mouth, and crooking his elbow, stammers out tho words: "Shall I seo you homo?" She touches her fingers to his arm, and thus they walk homo about a foot apart, feeling as awkward as goslings. As soon as she is safo inside her own doors, ho starts home, and really thinks ho has been and gone and done it. a- A Desperate Encountkil Tlio Bridgeport Standard says, The follow ing singular occurrence is narrated by an eye-witness ns having transpired somo timo last summer on trj farm of Mr. Wm. II. Bibbins in Fairfield. The narrator was spreading liay 'a a field, when his attention was attracted to a clump of tall grass at some littlo dis tance, from which a weasel was con stantly springing into the air. Ap proaching cautiously nearer, no discov ered tlio cause of this singular conduct. On a little mound of hay a largo cop perhead snake, nt least thro, feet lung, was colled up, anil with head erect, dnr ttng tongue, and exposed faivs, v s watching tlio weasel, who tins maLin;; a series of springs at tho reptile, o t dently with tlio intention of seiKli u by the throat. Tho snake dodged, a 1 1 the wetsel continued Ids ra ack ti'l ,it length by a sudden spring ho em ht tho snake by tho throat, ind a fort uh strugglocn-'ued. Tho won-. -I held oi,, nnd the snake wound hiuisclt about tb body of tho animal, nlmoit entirely covering it, nud scorned about to cru li it to death, when his wcast-lship let go his hold ou tho snake's throat, ami "popped" in true weasel stylo out nf the embracu of bis enemy, springing at least two feet in the air. The snako then crawled under the mound of hay, and in n few moments tlio weasel reap peared and crawled after him,und from tho tossing of the hay a desperate fight seemed to bo going on beneath it. It ceased In a short time, and tlio weasel enmo out dragging tho snako after lilm dead, with his throat bitten open. Tlio weasel dragged tho snake into a neigh boring fence, and there thoy both dis appeared.
