THIS DAPl'Lli JIIAHIi.
An Ancient Legend Versified and Diversified.
HYJ0I1NO. SAXB.
One. on n time," as ancient tales declare,
Thero lived a farmor ln n quiet dell
In Mnssachnsottst but exactly when
Or where Is really moro than I can tell.
Except that, qnlto nbovo tho publlo bounty,
He lived within his menns nnd Bristol county,
fly patient labor nnd unceasing enro
Ho earned, nnd so cnloyod,hls dally bread I
Contented always with frugal faro,
Ambition to bo rich no'cr vexed his head ;
And thus, unknown to envy, want or wealth,
Ho nourished long In comfort, peaco nnd hcnlth.
Tlio gcntlo partner of his hnmblo lot,
Tho Joy and Jowel of his wedded life,
Dlschnrged the duties of his humble col
I.I It o n truo woman nnd n fallhfnl wife :
Her r.ilnd Improved by thought nnd useful rend
ing,
Good mnnncis and nine children showed her
breeding,
Grown old nt last, tho farmer callod his sou,
Tho youngest (aud tho favorite, I suppose,)
And said:"I long havo thought, my darling Joliu,
'Tlstlmo lobrlnginy labors ton close!
Bo now to toll I mean to bid adieu,
Aud deed, my son, Iho homestead farm to you."
Tlio boy embrnced tho boon with vast delight,
Mid promised whllo their precious lives re
mained ;
He'd till and tend tho farm from morn till night,
And sco his parents handsomely mnlnlnlned 1
God help him, ho would never fall to love, nor
Do aught to grlovo his generous old gov'norl
The farmer said ! "Well, let us now proceed,
(You know thero s nlways danger m delay,)
And get 'Squlro Robinson to wrllo tho deodj
Como whero's my staff? wo'll soon bo on tho
way."
But John replied, with tender, filial care,
iou'ro old nnd weak I'll catch tho Dapple
Mnre."
The mnro wns saddled, nnd the man got on;
Tho boy ou foot trudged cheerfully along:
Tho while, to cheer his sire, tho dut.ous sou
Beguiled tho weary wny with talk and song,
Arrlvod at length they found tho 'Squire at home,
And quickly told him wherefore they had come.
Tho deed wns writ ln proper form of law,
With many a '"foresaid," "therefore,"and "the
camo,"
And rando throughout without mistake or flaw.
To show that John had now a legal claim
To nil his father's land conveyed, given, Hold,
Quit-claimed, cf tctcra to havo nnd hold.
Their business done, they left tho lawyer's door,
llnpplcr, iorhaps, than when they cuteied
there;
And started oll'ns they had deno before
The son on foot, the fnlhor on tlio more.
But eio tho twain n single mile had gono
A biilllnut thought occurred to Master John,
Alas for tiutli : nlns for filial duly I
Alas that Satan, In tho shano of Pride.
(Ills most bewitching form inve that of Beauty,)
Vihispeied tl.o lad: "My boy, joti ought In
ride I"
"Oct off!" cxelalmcd Iho yonuker j '"tisn't fair

THE WALPUEGIS-NIGHT.
II. ZSCIIOKKE.
(Continued.)
No booncr thought tlinn done. Not a
moment was to ho lost in consiilerntiim.
Ks-ery inun U hisown nearest neighbor,
mi'J saves himself llr.st, when ho win.
Despair and necessity hnvo no law. A
leap and I was out of tho htishea Into
tho road, from thu road Into tho car
riage; I seized tho reins and turned tin
horsed round, away from my burning
home. Tho man isprang at tho horse,
and just us I lot them feel tho whip, ho
tried to .seizo tliem by tho bit. Ho stood
right beforo them. I plied tho whip
moro vigorously. It was now or never
with mo. Tho horses reared and sprung
forward. Tlio owner foil and lay under
tlio horses' feet. I drovo over him. Ho
cried for help. His voico pierced mo
to tho very soul. It was a well-known
voice a beloved voico. I could not
beliovo my oars. I stopped, and leaned
out Of tho carriage to look at tho unfor
tunato man. 1 saw him I But I
shudder to rolato It 1 saw my brother,
who must unexpectedly havo finished
his biislnoi-s at Prague, or forsomo oth
er reason was ou his way home.
I sat thero ns if fetruck by liglitniug
disabled, paralyzed. My poor brother
lay moaning under tho wheel. Such a
thing I had never dreamed of. I drag
ged myself slowly from tho carriage. I
sank down besido him. Tho heavy
wheel had gone over Ids breast. With
a low, tremulous voico, I called him by
name. Ho heard mo no moro : ho re
cognised mo no more. It was all over
with hjui. I was tlio aceurscd ono who
had robbed him of it llfo as dear to mo
as my own. llorriblo ! two murders ln
tho samo night 1 both indeed involun
tary both committed in despair. But
they wcrofctill committed, and tho con
frequences of tho first crimo, which I
might havo nvoided.
Jly oyca were wet, but not with tears
of grief over tho beloved dead, but tears
of frantic rago against my fato against
heaven. -Nuver lu my lira had I Main-
cdmysolfwlth an ntrocloui wlmo. I
had been nlivo to all that was heautirui
good, great, and truo. I had had no
Bwcctor Joy than to mako others happy.
And now, n cursed thoughtlessness a
slnglo unhappy momont of self-forget-
fulness and then this guilty play of
accident or necessity had mado tho most
mlscrablo wretch under heaven, Oh,
let no ono boast of his virtue, his
strength, or his circumspection! It
needs only a minute for a man to thrust
asldo a llttlo his llrmest principles
only n minuto, and tho pure angel Is
capable of tho greatest crimes. en
for him Is It, If fato, moro favoroblo to
him thau to mo, throws no brother in
his way to bo run ovor liko mlno I
But let tho moral go. For ltlm who
has not found It out of himself, thero Is
no moral. I will hasten to tho end of
my unhappy story, than which no poet
over Invented anything moro horrible
REMORSE.
I hissed tho palo brow of my broth
er. I heard voices in tlio wood. Tor
rilled, I sprang up. Should I let my-
i it (it nt If f ft
self lio caught over tho body of this bo
loved ono,whom I had first intended to
rob, and then murdered? Beforo I
could think, I was again ln tlio thickest
of tho bushes, leaving tho corpso, to
gether with tho horses nnd carriage, to
their fate. Tho all-powerful Instinct
of self-presorvatlon was alono nwako.ln
mo ; every other fooling was dead. In
my distraction I rushed through brako
and brier; whorotho bushes wcro tho
thickest, and tho underwood tho most
entangled, thither I rushed. "Whoov
cr finds thee," cried I to myself, "will
kill thco, thou Cain! thou fratricide 1"
Exfiausted, I sank down. upon a rock
ln tlio depth of tho wood, tho sun had
risen without my having noticed It. A
new llfo breathed through nil nature.
Tho nwf ul Walpurgis-night lay behind
mo with ray crimes ; but Its offspring
danced liko devils In my path. 1 6aw
my weeping Funny with her orphaned
children I saw tho disconsolate fami
ly of my unfortuiiato brother I
baw tho scaffold, tlio last procession,
tho plnco of o.xccutlou.
Llfo boeamo an Intolerable burden to
mo. "on, mat l nau let myseir do
throttled by tho count,"thought I to
myself, "for I deserved It! I was then
falso to my Fanny and to tho vows
which I had a thousand times swotn to
her. Or had I only turned about when
tho town was burning behind mo, I
might havo kissed my wlfo and chil
dren onco moro, nnd then flung myself
into tho flames. I might then havo
been pparcd tho murder of my broth
er." I trembled at llfo bceauso I trembled
at new crimes, which seemed to await
mo at overy step. So much was I sha
ken by what had 'occurred, that I felt
that to tho sinner ovcry breath ho draws
may bring a sin. I thought of sulcldo
but for that I wanted means. So I de
termined to glvo myself up to Justlco
and confess nil my guilt. Thus I hoped
although Indeed under tho bitterest
circumstances onco moro to press to
my heart my Fanny, my Leopold, my
Augustus, to Imploro their forgiveness,
nnd then depart Into eternity accom
panied by their tears. I might yet
miiko many domestic arrangcmens.and
givo my Fanny hints and counsels con
cerning various tilings.
These thoughts gnvo mo somo satis
faction. 1 became more quiet. I had
given up life, and now tho furies of con
science ceased to rago within mo, since
they had obtained what they wished.
I got up and proceeded I knew not
whither. In my distraction nnd anguish
I had forgotten tlio country through
which I had passed. Tho woods lay
thick and dark around me. I loured
for tho light of tho conflagration, which
should guido mo to my judges. But It
was no matter ; overy step, every road,
would lead me to them at last.
After having walked somo tlme,I got
out of tho forest. I camo upon a wild
road and struck instantly Into it, cailng
not whither it might lead.
THE TEMPTER
I soon heard tho neighing of horses
beforo me. I was startled : tlio
lovo of life awoko in mo anew. I
thought of fleeing back In tho wood. I
had been very wicked ; 1 wns a crlmi
nnl of tho worst kind ; but I might
hope still to be happy, could I save my
self this time. For I never wns n com
plete villain although tho most thought
ic'B-t. So thought I to myself, forget
ting all my resolutions, nud already In
Imagination 1 was in remote solitude,
where under a strango name, unknown
to tlio world, I could livo with my wifo
and children. Occupied with the-.fi
thoughts, I had still gono forward. As
the road opened, I saw right beforo mo
horses standing, a carriago upset witli a
broken wheel, and to my horror, or to
my delight, standing near tho well
known Red-coat.
When ho saw mo ho grinned, after
his usual fashion, "Welcome here!"
said he. "Did I not Kill you that wo
should find each other nealn ? I havo
been waiting all night ; my coachman
has gono back to town for help, and has
not returned."
'Hlfi help is wanted morothan hero,"
said I : "tho wholo town is on flro."
"I thought so," returned, "for I saw
tho light In tho sky. But what do you
want In tho woods? What aro you
seeking hero? Why nro you not help
ing to extinguish tlio flro?"
1 havo quito other (Ires to extin
guish," said I.
"I thought so; did'nt 1 ten you so v
"Oh. savo mo! I havo become a
wretched criminal, a faithless husband,
a murderer, nn Incendiary, u high wny
robber, and a fratrIeido,-all shico tho
moment you left mo,-all within uireo
hours. And yet, I swear to you, x am
not a wicked man."
Tho Red-coat stamped on tho ground
with his club foot as 1 said this, appar
ently In high displeasure. But hli fea
tures romnlntd hard and stern, no
mado mo no answer. I then related to
him tho unprecedented history of tho
night. Ho kept quiet.
"Bo you not know who i am ami
what I want of you?"
"My soul! my soul!" shrieked Jj
"for now, Indeed, 1 begin to ueiievo
that you nro tho pemm whom in Jest 1
took you to bo In Prague."
"And that person was V"
"Satan."
"Then fall down and worship mill"
bellowed ho, In'a horrlblo voice.
I fell upon my knees beforo him liko
n crazv man, raised my clasped hands
and cr cd "Savo mo 1 Savo my who
and children from destruction I
Thov aro Innocent. Curry us to somo
desert, whero wo may havo bread una

blot this Walpurgis-night from my
memory, or clso Paradlso Itself would
bo n hell. If you cannot do that, It
wero better for mo to ntono my crimes
on tho bcaifold." As I said this, ho
raised his club foot, and pushed mo con
temptuously with It.so thnt I fell back
wards to tho earth. I sprang up. I wns
about to repeat my entreaties, hut ho
Jnteruptcd mo: "There, cot ... nd .
said he, "to your pious, ti uder-hcariod
tujuui 1"" ''.
man I Look at tho proud mortal Hi tho
mnjcoty of his reason I look at
COL.
philosopher who denies tho devil, nnd
brings eternity Itself Into learned
doubt! ho crowns his crimes with tho
worship of Satan.!' Now I know theo,
Satan," crlod I, raving. "I sco now
thnt not n touch of tho sympathy which
dwells ln tho human heart has a plnco
ln your Iron breast. I wnnt no sympa
thy from thco. Thou feelcst nothing
but mnllctous scorn. I would havo
purchased thy favor, purchased li with
my soul. But my soul will do better.
It will find tho way to repentance nnd
mercy. It will escnpo you yot, nnd
when you fancy yourself most euro of
It."
Scowling grimly, ho .replied, "No,
sir, I am not tho devil you Biipposo
I am a man liko you. You havo been
n criminal ; now you nro nro a madman.
But ho who has onco broken with his
hotter faith, Is goon dono with reason;
too. I despiso yu. Truly I would
not help you If I could. I do not want
your soul. It Is nil rlpo for hull, and
Satan noe'd not offer a brass farthing for
It."
HOPE.
For a fow moments I stood beforo
him doubtful and embarrassed. Shamo
and rago, remorse, and ft readiness for
any crime that could savo mo, for tho
moment struggled within me. I can
not described whnt.I felt j for tho histo
ry of thnt slnglo moinont would grow
Into a volumo under my pen, nnd yot I
could not do It Justlco.
"If you aro not ho for whom I tako
jou," said I, nt last, "I cannot help
wishlug you woro ho. Savo me, or I
nm lost. Savo mo, for you alono nro to
blamo for my horrlblo fato."
"That's tho way with man," said ho,
grinning; "ho nlways makes himself
out porfcctly Innocent, oven when
6taincd with a brother's blood."
"Yes; you, sir, wcro tho first cause of
all my torriblo sufferings. Why did
you como in tho night to my summer-
houso, whero I was sleeping harmless
and quiet, awaiting tho break of day?
Had you not awakened mo, all this
never would happened."
"But did I nwako you to conjugal In
fidelity and to arson? That's Just tho
way with man. When ho has assassi
nated somo, thousands, ho would lay all
tho blamo on tho miner who has dug
tho steel out of tho earth. Your breath
sir, Is tho causo of your crimes, becauso
if you could not breathe, you never
would havo committed them ; but with
out breath you could havo had no life."
"But why did you play tho part of
the devil with mo In tho garden, and
say so significantly that whoever lets
tho dovil ,havo hold of a hair, it will be
tho string by which ho will got his
wholo head."
"Truo that! Did I tell you a Ho?
Who can testify moro fearfully to that
truth than yourself? Have I asked a
hair of you? or did you offo It to mo?
But, sir, when you saw Julia, your
first love, you ought to havo remem
bered Fanny. You trusted too much
to your virtue, or rather you did
not think' of vlrtuo at all. Religion
nnd virtue would havo told you, Fleo
homo to tho summer-house. Sir, tho
intant temptation appears, man must
tnko caro how ho permits himself in tlio
slightest thought that favors Bin ; for
tlio first llttlo thought of evil, which
ono allows himself to entertain, is tho
aforesaid hair in tho claw of tho devil."
"Right! oh, right! but could I havo
forsecn that?"
"To bo sure you could."
"It was impossible. Think only of
tho horrible coincidence of clrcumstan-
"Of that, as n possibility, you ought
to have thought. Could you havo tho't
of tho count, when you held his wifo
in your arms? of tho conflagration,
when you threw the candle in tho liny?
of fratricide, when you drovo tho horoea
over their ownr? for, whether ho or
another, every man is your brother."
Too true ! But drive mo not to great
er despair. You must at least graot that
tho first fault might have happened
without nil the horrors, if there had not
been tho most terrible combination of
circumstances."
"You aro mistuken ! What was there
so terrible In tho count's coming to his
wifo? What was thero no very terrible
in thero being hay lu tho barn, as in all
other barns? What so strango In your
brother's happenitig to pass that way?
No, sir; what you call a horrlblo coin
cidence, might havo been for you, had
you kci In tlio right path, most hap
py. Tho world Is good ; It is tho mind
that turns It into a hell. It Is tho man
that first makes the dagger and tho pol
son, which else would havo been the
peaceful ploughsharo or tho healing
medicine. Do not pretend to vindicate
yourself."
Hero I could not holp crying out In
utter despair when I saw tlio full extent
of my enormities. "Oh !" cried I, "up
to this night I havo been innocent: a
ood lather, n faithful husband, with
out reproach now am I without rest,
without honor, without consolation I"
No, sir; thero too,! must contradict
you, you navo not uecomo wnaiyou
nro In ono night, but you became It IOnfc
aeo. Ono caunot chango from an angel
to a devil In an hour,unlis ho possesses
nlroadv every disposition to becomo a
lovll. Opportunity Is only waiting lor
tho Inner man to becomo tlio ouior.
You only needed to bco Jullu alono.
Tho flro sleeps in tho bteel and flint, al-
thouglit wo sco U not strlko them to
gether and tlio npaika fly. Tho Bpark
falls into a powdor-cask near by, and
half a city, with nil Its prosperity, Is
thrown Into tho sky. Commend mo to
your pious pcnplo who attend tho poor
sinner to tho gallows! that many moro
do not hang thero Is moroly tho favor
of fortune."
"That's a comfort. So then, If you
speak the truth, tho world l no hotter
than I, or you, as to that matter!"
"No, sir. Thero, onco moro you aro
mistaken. I grant you half tho world
not tho whole. I do yot beliovo In vlr

IlcUIng on n Sure lliiiifr,
A largo utoamer was being repaired
nnd repainted near ono of tlio wharves
of n western city. A slnglo narrow
plank served for communication with
tho shore. A largo quantity of white
lead was provided fur tho painters, aud
one night beforo going ashore, two of
them, whom wo will call Smith and
Jones, thought they would appropriate
somo of It to their own use. So they
tied it strong twine around their over
balls to tho ankle, and filled In tlio spaco
between their trousers and over-alls
with forty pounds.moroorless.of white
lead. Going nshoro In tho dusk of the
evening, nnd waldlng clumsily in con
soquenco of tlio unusual load, Jones fell
overboard Into tho lake. Of courso liu
sank liko a mlll-stono. Tho alarm was
given, and Immediately thero wero
boats got out, and ovcry preparation

stood on shoro, loudly bowalllug,
"Oh dear.! Jones Is drowned! His
poor wifo and five llttlo onos what will

Oh, dead, dear!"
