havo had worry enough. I will bid
good-by to businesd. I will put my
money oat at moderate intoreat, and so
run no risk of being to-day a million
aire, and to-morrow a beggar and swin
dlor. I havo como now to thank yon
for your Drothcrly kindness, and to
bring niy baslncsn connections forevor
to a close."
I hadio accompany my brother to
different houses. But ho caw my Im
patience nnd homc-slckness, and thero
foro after a few days advised mo to re
turn homo without him. I resolved to
do ao tho moro readily, aa his etny In
Prnguo would bo prolonged hovoihI
weeks. I took an oxtra post, and flow
townrds my dear homo.
On tho way the strango Mandovlllo
continually aroso boforo my imagina
tion. I could not forget tho-odd llguro
with tho red coat, tho club foot, and the
Ill-omened features. I eould not help
thinking too of tho bushel of black hair
which stood about his brow. Perhaps
thero was rt Httlo horn undor it, nnd
then was ho Beelzebub coraplcto from
top to too.
It is true, ho had brought back my
pocket-book ; no man in tho world
could havo acted moro honestly. Ho
had read Fanny's letters and my broth
er's Instructions to mo and so,natuKilly
enough, had bceomo acquainted with
my secrets. But his fuco no, nature
could not havo written so llllgibly!
Enough, had I over believed in the cx-
istouco-ofit Mephistophilcs, I should
hovo had no donbt of it now for a single
moment.
I followed tlila train of thought, and
will not deny that I gavo myself up
right willingly to tho play of my Imag
ination j for It bejuiied tho time. I con
cluded that my honest Man-devil might
bo tho real dovil, and his honesty a
mero trick to snap up my poor soul on the
way to heaven. And If lio really wero
tho dovll, what had ho to offer mo?
Gold ami goods? I was never avaric
ious. A tlirono? Yes, that I would
havo been glad to havo for a week, lu,
order to glvo peace lo tho world ; but
thou I should want to go back again to
ray own slmplo dwelling to cultivate
turnips with my own'hand, llko a sec
ond Clnclnnatus. Pretty women? A
harem fiill of tho most beautiful Hel
ens, Arraldas, nnil Armandas? No,
wlen I thought of I'anny, tho loveliest
CJreassiana seemed to bo but old wo
men. I would not havo given a straw
to bo Dr. Faust. And why V I was
happy I Happy? No, pot qui to bo,
oveu becauso I was bo happy. I trem
bled n llttio at tho thought of tho Skel
eton, who with tils terrlblo scytho
might so easily mow down my Fanny,
my two sons, and oven mysolf. And
thon thero was always tho great ques
tion, Whether nnd how wo should over
como together again In paradise? I
should havo liked to havo thrown a
look into tho future llfo, Just to quiet
myselt. But sup'poso my devil had
granted mo my pious wish, and let mo
peep through a crack In heaven's gate,
what cleo could a subject of Adrame
lcch liavo been ablo to show but his
own dark abode?
But enough of this noneeiise.
I had been two days nnd a night on
my way homo, and it Was gottlng Into
ou tho second day. In vain did 1 scold

It is truo that I had loved boforo over
I had bocorno acquainted with Fanny.
I luul onco had u Julia, who had been
torn from mo by tho prldo of hor parents,
nnd wedded to n rich Polish nobleman.
It was our flrst lovo to both bordering;
on mutual Idolatry and dlitrnctlon. At
thomomcntof separation, wo had sworn
eternal lovo, nnd kisses and tears had
scaled tho oath. But all tho world
knows how It goes with such things.
She becamo tho Countcsa Bt. , and I
saw Fanny. My lovo for Fanny was
holler, riper, moro tender. Julia was
onco tho Idol of Imagination, but Fan
ny was now tho adored of my heart.

tho windows of my dear home, under
tho high nut-trees, glimmered in, tho

IIATErUL visit.
And all slept I Oh, Fnnny, Fanny,
had you only boon awake, how much
grief and torror you would havo eaved
mo ! They slept my wife, my chil
dren, tho doinestira; nowhere any light!
A dozen times did I walk around tho
house nil was fast; I would not dis
turb nny one. Bettor tho rapture. of
meeting In tho morning hour, when
ono I.3 rofieshed by .sleep, than In tho
fivofish midnight.
Fortunately, I found my boantiful
new summer houso open. I entered.
Tliero stood my Fanny's work-basket
on a. Httlo tnblo; and I saw, by tho
moonlight, on tho tablo nnd.Beats tho
drums and whips of my children. They
had probably spent tho afternoon thoro.
I htso trllleo mado mo feel almost as If
I woro with my loved ones. I Mrctchcd
myself upon tho sofa, nnd determined
to pans tho night there. Tho night was
mild nnd balmy, nnd tho fragranco of
flowers and garden-plants filled my
apartment.
Ono who has not slept for forty hours
finds every bed ft. In my weariness
I soon fell asleep. But I had hardly
closed my oyes, when tho ereukliig of
thosummer.houso door awakened ino.
1 sprung up; I saw it .man en tor, I
thought it was a thief. But imagi no
my astonishment : it was friend Red
coat I
"Whero do you como from ?,' said I.
"iTrotn Prague. In half tin hour I
must "at out again. I was determined
to keep my word, and to seo you nnd
your Fanny as i passed through. I
heard from your servant that you had
gono on before, and I ospictod to find
all awnko at your house. You do not
mean to pass tho night hero in tho cold
damp air, uud get Bick?"
1 went out into tho garden with him
and quaked in overy limb. In my so
crot heart indeed, I laughed at this su
peratitlous fear, and yet I could not rid
myself of It, Such is human nature.
Tho hard features of my Praguo friend
appeared by tliopalo moonlight oven
moro torrible, and his eyes glittered
oven moro brightly.
"You havo really frightened mo llko
a ghost," said I; "I tremblo all over.
How caino you to seek mo in my sum-mer-houBo?
You seem to know every
thing."
Ho smiled maliciously, and said
"Don't you now know mo, and what I
want with you?"
"I don't know you now nny better
than 1 did at Prague. Butjust for tho
joke, I will tell you how you appeared
to mo, you will not tako it amiss:, I
thought that if you wero not u wizard
you must bo Satan hlmsolf."
Ho grinned again, and replied
"What if I wore Satan, would you
mnko a bargain witli mo ?"
'You will havo to offer mo much bo
foro I should glvo you my blind upon
it. For truly, Mr. Satan permit mo
to call you so In a joko my luippiiicss
is complete"
"Oho! -I shall offer you nothing,
glvo you nothing. That was tho cus
tom in old times, when people believed
In tho devil, nnd so wero on tho guard
against him ; then ono of them
had to brlbo them. Hut now-a-days
when no 'ono bellovw In tho
devil and overy thing Is carrlo I
on by reason, tho children of men aro

"1 hopo It otlicrwlso with mo, al
though I do not btllcvolu Beelzebub. A
drniilini of reason Is worth moro to mo
than a bushel of faith In tho dovil."
"Just so! Your proud security, yo
mortals permit mo to speak in the
charactor you havo assigned me your
proud security supplies mo with moro
recruits than a legion of recruiting ofll
cow in Satan'a uniform. Since yon
havo begun to consider oteruliy as a
problem, and hell as an Eastern futile ;
since honosty and stupidity havo como

"This Is talking llko tho dovll In-
doed," cried I.
"Certainly I" cried tho red gontltjman
nnd grinned. "But I speak tho truth
b'ceauso you peoplo do not nny longer
bcllevo It. So long ns tho truth was yet
sacred among men, Satan must needs
bo tho father of lies. But now tho caso
Is reversed. Wo poor devils aro always

"Then, in tho present cass at least,

Just as you do, my philosophical Mr.

"I thought ou would como In and
drink n parting glass of punch with
mo, which I ordered boforo I wont after
you."
J accepted tho Invitation. Tho warm
room was very ngreoablo.
Tim TEMPTATION.
Tho punch was standing on tho tablo
when wo entered. A utrangor waa
walking, moody and tired, up nnd
down tho room. Ho was n tall, meagre,
elderly man. Baggago was lying
around on tho chairs.. I noticed a lady's
shawl, bonnet, and gloves.
Aa wo wero drinking together, tho
stranger said to a, servant who brought
in somo baggago "Tell my lady, when
alio conies, that I havo gono to bed, Wo
must start early."
I dotcrmincd not to return lo tho cool
summcr-houso, but ordered a bed for
tho night, rho stranger retired. Tho
red gentleman' and I chatted together,
nnd drank tho punch-bowl empty. Tho
brandy warmed nnd exhilarated mo.
Tho Red-coat hastened to his carrlago,
and aa I helped him in, ho said "Wo
fhall sec each other again." With this
tho carrlago rolled nwny.
When ,1 went back Into tho room,
thero was n lady thero taklpg away tho
bonnet and shawl. As alio turned to
warda mo, I lost all solf-possesslon. It
was Julia ! my first lovo, upon an ex
cursion to Italy, us I afterwards learned.
Sho waa no less startled than I.
'For heaven's sake, Robert, It Is yonr
spirit?"
"Julia 1" stammorod I, and all tho
rnpturo of first lovo Mroko In moat this
unexpected meeting.
I turned respectfully towards her. Her
oyca woro full of tears. I drow her to
my heart.
"This 16 not my room," said she,
drawing thoshawl around her. "Como,
Robert wo havo much to say to each
other."
Sho went; I followed her to her
room. "Hero wo can talk freely " said
she, and wo sat down upon tho sofa.
How wo talked!' Again I lived In all

had auppoaed was long ago extinguish

treated me with all hur former tender
ness. Sho was moro beautiful, more
blooming than ever. Sho found mo
handsomer too, ns sho was pleased to
say.
Thero was a roeglc, which I cannot
describe, in Julia'o words and in her
manner. All tho past roso vividly be
fore mo. Our first acquaintance at her
plater's wedding-ball; tho emotions
which filled us then ; our mectingagain
in the garden of tho ducal castle ; then
tho excursion upon tho water with our
parents ; then but enough.
Suddenly the door opened. The tall,
lank man cnterod, with tho question
"Who is this with you, Julia?"
We sprang up, terrified. Tho count
stood for a moment speochIess,and palo
as a corpso. Then, with threo steps, he
etrodo towards Julia, wound her long
chestnut locks around his hand, hurled
her shrieking to tho floor, nnd dragged
hernbout exclaiming "Faithless wo
man I false wretch!"
I rushed to hor id. Ho pushed me
away with such forco,that I tumbled
back upon tho floor. As I roso to my
feet nirnln, ho lot go tho unhappy Julia,
and cried out to me "You I'll throt
tle 1" lu my desperation I caught up a
knifo from tho tablo, and threatened to
plunge it intohim if ho did notkecpstill
But tho frantic man throw himself up
on mo and seized mo by tho throat. I
lost breath, nnd brandished tho knife in
nil directions. I thrust It repeatedly at
him. Suddenly, tho unhappy man fell.
Tho knifo waa In his heart.
Julia lay eobbing on tho floor bcsldo
her murdorcd husband. I stood thero
llko a statuo. "Oh l".thought I, "wero
It onlyn dream, and I lay waking on.

I am a murderer!"
The noise in tho room awakened tho
peoplo in tho houso. I heard them stir
ring and calling. Nothing wns loft to
mo but flight, to escape dlscovory. I
siczed tho candle to light mywlf out of
the houso.
CONSUMMATION OP nORROR.
As I rushed down tho steps, I resolv
ed to hasten to my house, awaken my
wlfo nnd children, picss them once
moro to my heart, and then, llko a sec
ond Cain, wander forth In tho world, a
fugitlvo from Justice. But on tho stairs
I saw that my clothes wero sprluklotl
with blood. I trembled nt tho thought
of being seen.
Tho streot-door wneT'lockbtl. As I
turned to escapo tlirougti tho jnrd, I
henrd peoplo crying nnd calling after
mo from abovo. I ran across thd.ynrd
to tho barn ; I know that thenco I could
get out Into tho gardens and fields put
sldo tho town. But my pursuers woro
closo behind mo. I had scarcely reach
ed tho barn when some ono seized mo
by tho coat, With fearful desperation
I toro myself away, and hurlod tho
burblug candlo into a largo haystack
nearby. It suddenly' caaght lire; sol
hopod to sava myae(f. I succeodod.
Thoy let mo go, their attention being
diverted by tho flro j I escaped into tho
open country.
I rushed blindly forward over hedges
aud hillocks, Tho Idea,, of eeclng iny
Fanny, and Augustus and Leopold, was
no moro to bo thojight of. Tho instinct of
seir-preservatlon took preccdenco of v-
cry thing else. When I thought of
my return homo yosterday, and of my
expectations of tho coming morning, I
eould not bullovu. wHat had hnBpeucd,

ued my flight at n slower pace. I waa
obliged at times to stop and recover
myself. Several tlmea I waa on tho
point of fainting nway.
Thus I Bucceoded In reaching tho next
village Whllo I stood hesitating,
whether to go round it or go boldly
through It. for It waa bright moon
light and tho sun had not yet risen, tho
vlllago bolls bogan to ring, and soon I
heard bolls from more distant quarters.
Thoro waa a general alarm.
Every stroko harrowed mo. I looked
round. O Heaven 1 behind mo appear
ed a dark-rcd glow; a huge pillar of
flamo licked tho very cloudsl Tho

Tho flamoa of my homoBhonfj. llko tho
day, and tho moaning alarm-bclla rang
with heart-rcnding.tonen thraugh my
dlalracted soul.
Aa soon as I had reached tho depth
of tho wood, and had got bo far In that
I eould no longer sco tho light of tho
conllagratlou.which had hitherto caused
my shadow to danco boforo me llko a
ghost, I could go no farther. I throw
mysolf on tho earth nnd cried llko a
child. I beat my head ngalust tho
ground, and toro up tho grass and roots
in my frenny. I would gladly havo

What accursed fato led baton to mo in

his punch, I should havo seen Julia
without forgetting Fanny; I should
not hnvo murdorcd tho eounfcj I should
not havo lain hero In uttordospair.n hor

In tho mean time, tho alarm-bells
boomed most fearfully, and 'frightened
mo to my feet again. I rejoiced that it
was not yot day, I eould still hopo to
get a good stnrt without being known,
But I sank down again, weeping, when
I recollected that it wast tho first of
May, my Fanny's birthday. How had
wo always kept tho ble.sed day In the
circle of our friend! And to-day!
what a day! what a night! Then it
suddenly occurred to me, It is Walpurgis-night
! Strango! tho old su
perstition lind,ov,cr mado.this night tho
night of horror, in which bad spirits
keep festival, aud tho evil ono assem
bles his witches on tho top of tho Black
Mouutalu. I eould almost havo believ
ed in tho truth of-tho silly fable. Tho
horrlblo Red-coat now occurred to mo
moro vividly than over, with hisstraugo
speeches. Now why should I deny it 1
now would I havo given my soul,
woro ho really tho uersonairo whom
hq had pretended" In Jost to be, that ho
might eavo me, tako from.mo all mem
ory of tho past, aud glvo mo my wife
and children, In souiocomerof tho earth
whero wo might spend our days undis
covered. But tho alarm-bells Bounded still
louder. I discerned tho gray of morn
lng. 1 sprang from tho ground, nnd
continued my flight through tho bushta,
anil camo upon tho highway.
CAIN.
Herb I took breath. All that hap-,
pencil waa so horriblo, bo sudden, I
eouui not beliovo it. I looked around
me ; tho reflection of tho conflagration
glowed thiough tho pluo-trtes. I felt
that my clothea nud my fingers wero
all wot with tho blood of tho count.
"This will betray mo to tho first that
meetamo!" thought I; audi toro off
my spotted clothe, and hid them in
tho thick bnshes, and washed my hands
In tho dew on tho grass. Thus, half
clad, I ran out on tho highway.
"Whatnin I now V'snld I to myself:
"whoever sees mo, will pursue mo.
Only crazy peoplo or murderers run
through tho woods half-naked : or I
must pretend that 1 have been robbed.
Could I only meet a peasant whom I
could overpower, he should furnUh mo
with clolhes.sol might dlffjuiso myself
for nwhtfo. 1 might hide myself in tho
woods by day, and continue my flight
by night. But whero get food ? whero
money ?"And now I recollected that
I had loft my pocket -book in my coat,
which I had thrown away, and so de
prived myself of nil my cash.
I stood for a moment undetermined,
thought of turning back to seek my
pocket-book. But tho blood of tho
count I I could not havo looked unon
that again, had n million of dollars
been to be got by It. And to go back,
to havo continually baforo my oyca tho
light of tho conflagration flickering
through the pino trees I
fib", tho flames of an open hell rather !
So I wandered on.
I heard tho rattling of a vehicle per
haps a flro-cngino nud peasants running
to givo their aid. Instantly I throw
mysolf Into tho bushes, whonco I could,
look out. I trembled lllta an aspen
leaf. A handsomo open traveling car
rlago, drawn by two horses, and loadod
with baggage, approached. A man
sat In It, driving. Ho stopped Just bo
foro mo, got out, nnd wont back a littlu
way -to pick up something ho had
dropped.
"It would help me mightily to got
off," thought I, "wero I onlyin that
carriago 1 my logs nro giving out ; they
will drag mo no farther. Clothes.monoy
swi ft flight, all within reach. Heaven
certainly means to favor me. I'll tako
