LEGEND OF THE FATAL EING. A GEltMANSTOUY. CONCLUllED. I fill back insensible. How long I remained in this stnto I don't know; but invoke before it was light. I sprang from my bed, lighted ti candle, and looked eveja'whero to seo had my hi jiernatural visitor left any trace behind but I could find no clue to tho mystery. I thought I must liavo had a frightful dream, till my eyo fell on a ring upon my linger that I had never seen before, What tould this mean? Who could that mysterious being have been? I tried to recall tho features. They seem ed fnmilliar to me. 1 had seen them picviously, but when or where? Yes yes I remembered they wero none other than those of tho Lady Theresa. Now it was, too, that I recollected dis tinctly the saino beautiful hair. Tho eyes, though wild, still had tho same loving, melancholy expression. That look that 110110 but sho could have! Could her troubled spirit have como to reveal to mo tho teciet of her dying agony ? Perhaps it was to ask mo to bear a message. Oh ! that I had been a bio to question her ! How I cursed my trembling timidity, that had prevented mo from speaking to her ! In tills excited stnto of mind I sal down, listening intensely in fear of hearing her footsteps. I took off tho ring to look at tho gift of tho dead, when oh! horror 111010 teirlblo than words can express too terriblo even for imagination I saw engraved upon it tho heraldic bearings of Count Von Silberstcln's family. Tho Legend of tho Fatal Ring burst, as it wero upon my mind; tho whole seemed ouly too dlear. It had been the Lady Theresa, but not como for sym pathyno. Sho had removed tho fatal curso hanging over her brother's house tliat brother eIio loved so dearly and 1 was selected out of tho wliolo world to carry tho dreadful weight with mo to tho grave. I clasped my hands over my oyes, for it seemed to bo written in blazing characters round tho walls that I was wedded to a dead bride ! I felt as if voices of thunder wero shrieking tho fearful secret into my ears. I Hung my self on tho ilnor howling in tho mad ness of despair, nnd calling down fear ful imprecations on tho head of tho be ing whom n moment beforo I had al most revered ns nn angel of light. At length naturo exhausted itself, nnd I fell I nto n deep sleep, from which I did not nwnko till tho bright beams of tho sun showed mo that tho morning was far advanced. I looked around in sur prlso at finding myself stretched 011 tho ground, though nn indescribablo weiglit pressed mo down. I could not ut first recollect what had occurred. By degrees tho truth Hashed ncross me. I sprang on my feet, examined tho door to learn whether any ono had entered tho room an d seen my delirious frenzy. All was as I had loft it, doors aud windows bur ied fast, ry secret was my owu'. No mortal know what had happened, nnd no 0110 should over know- 1 dressed myself with scrupulous care, arranged tho furniture, so that no trace was left of my Impotent fury; and tho liiig-thohnteful ring should I iling it out of tho window, or bury it deep in tho earth? No, I daio not part with it; llnow it wliero I would, send it to t ho mot distant part of tho world, it still coims back to me, and perhaps in it way that would exposo mo to tho whole world. 1 know Its power; It fixed Itself on Its possessor. Had I not but now seen tho truth of this; for years, it may bo for centuries, it had clung to Count Von Silberstcln's name; nnd now by her means, I daro not mention hcr iiftmo, iuinillnglho prediction, It would cling, fasten, cat into my very life; nnd for how long? Thero was no second re moval, no hope, no dawning of morn ing in Ihntblnckomw. I seized tho ring, mid hid It In my bosom. Why should I Indulge tho fuel ing, It was a childish fiiney? I would nover think of It again. 1 ought to marry; I had no worldly cares, nnd my mliiil was liable to bo infected with strango delusions. In this way I argued to myself, knowing, ny 1 feeling, from tho bottom of my heart, bound body and soul to a spirit. I hastened to llio saloon nono of thu family had mado their npponranco. Again I was alone; llio sollliulo I hud lied from above, pur sued mo hero, I examined tho pictures which I had seen many times beforo; wondered who they represented; had they n secret to hide; were they pursued by n spectre, to whom they belonged, without liopo of rclcaso? Again, ut that terriblo thought, I turned from them, and reckoned thu panes of glas In each window. Did she, the Countess, who loft that fearful legacy, over stand hero wliero I was standing? Perhaps It was In this spot that thought llrst pre sented Itself to her mind. I looked nt tho breakfast table; It was laid for four, tho Count, his wife, ami myself. AVho could tho fourth bo? Tho Countess' sister? Ah 1 hero was it chance; I would marry her I I walked to the mirrors; thought I was good enough looking. 1 was in good prac tice, and very highly educated: many it girl would bo only too glad to liavo me; but 1 had not monoy enough. In tho midstoftheso rellectlons a pretty young woman with a child passed tho window just opposite to ine; they stopped, nnd she gathered llowcrsund played with tho littlo boy; I walched her for some time. Oil I that I knew who she was that I could get acquainted with her I Sho seemed an upper servant. What matter; I would marry her; yes, sho would bo my wife. I would lovo aiid protect her; sho was poor.I would make iicr rich, I would makoher n lady. Sho wouiu never refuse me; and onco mar ried 1 should bo safe, and could defy tho spirit. Without a moment's hesi tation I hurried along the corridor, nnd down tho terrace; a turn in tho path suddenly, brought mo beforo tho girl; I knelt at her feet, caught her dress, told her I adored her, would guard iier as n tender ilower, if she would but unite her fato to mine. Tho poor creature thought I was mad; sho screamed, caught tho child in her arms, and ran into tho easllo. I saw what I had done, she would give tho alarm-, they would consider mo insane; T should bo shun ned by every one, and left alone with my dreadful secret. Fearful of meet, ing any one, I left tho terrace, and hur ried down tho steps into tho thicket. I saw servants out looking for mo and tho young woman I had been speaking to, pointed out to them tho direction I must havo taken. I lay hid under n bush, not moving a limb, lest they should seo me; and when they had re turned, I left my retreat nnd ran, at moat flew home. Thoso I met on the way looked nt mo witli a vaguo glance that might have been sympathy. Mv first thought was to eercto tho ling; tills accomplished,! lay down and long ed, oh ! how earncstly,ror death ! From that hour I was ill three months oftho very same dlscaso that Lady Theresa had died of. When I left my sick-bed I was another creature; I no longer strovo to shut out tho hateful truth from myself, but humbly submitted to my fate. ' Now, what do you say to this, for I can testify on oath nil I liavo staled '." 'I cannot but allow It is strange,' said 1, 'and had you not assured mo you had examined every part of your room so carefully, I should havo had somo doubts.' ' As I slated,' replied Auerbacli, 'do co ption was impossible. I was as wide awake as you aro now. And, besides, tho fatal ring; what else Could (hat mean '." And ho relapsed into a stato of abstraction. 'Well,' said I, moro with tho idea of rousing him, than for any real obstaclo it presented to my mind, 'llio ring is tho stumbling-block to me. If tho ap pearance wii3 not a deception, It must havo been a spirit; but I cannot under stand a spirit having anything to do with tho fading things of tills world. It leaves all that behind.' Ho interrupted mo: 'You first deny tho existence of spirits then you must deilno tho exact way they ought to appear. Such Inconsis tency ! But perhaps you will not bo so skeptical if I show you tho ring. I havo not worn it since that fatal night, now years gono by; but sometliing urges mo to look at it to-night. Who knows but it may bo a warnlug that I am soon to Join mysplrit-brido?' Saying this, ho took from his breast n curious looking box, nnd haiidid It to mo to open. I can hardly describo tho sensation with which I raised tho lid, and took out n very old-fashioned ring, with strango characters engraved on It; aud, true enough, tho heraldic bearings of tho Count Albrccht Von Silberstcln's family. I felt n nervous, creeping sen sation; tho perspiration hung in drops on my forehead. As to Auerbacli, ho seemed ready to fall. Just than I heard a footstep; tremb ling, I let tlio ring fall on tho floor, and ran to assist Auerbacli, who had fainted crying out: 'I come 1 como!' Immediately I heard a voice exclaim ing: 'Wliero in tho world tiro you? What Is tho matter?' To my infinite relief 1 recognized Ferdinand's voice, and calling him io my old, wo got poor Aueibach to bed, where, after administering somo romo dies, wo succeeded In restoring con sciousness. When I related to Ferdinand what had passed, ho started convulsively. I havo beein' ho broko forth, 'kept nt court nil day, on account of that Identi cat Black Chamber.' 1 urged him to relate his slnry, and ho began : 'You both know Filing,' said ho, 'Count You iSilbersteln lately Invited liim to it largo ball at Urn Castlo of Sll- borsleln. Tho night proved n tempes tuous one; thunder and lightning, and torrents of rain; go they pressed Frltag to remuin, Ho said ho would willingly, savo that ho had mi appointment early llio next morning In town. Tho Count said that ho nlso had nn early cngngo-1 incut, nnd that they could go together. under theso circumstances, Fritng was very glad to remain beneath so good n sholtor. Tho next morning, it seems, Ihojngcr knocked nt his door to tell him tho Count was waiting; but receiving no answer, concluded ho had left tho Castle. So tho Count departed without him. When tho party assembled nt breakfast, ono of tho domestics announc ed to tho Counless that llcrr Frltag hnd not gone with tho Count. Sho Immedi ately sent to let him know they wero waiting breakfast; but thero was no answer. After a delay or a cotiplo of hours, they broko open tho door, when they found poor Frltag insonsibic.lyliig across tho bed; they thought at first ho was dead ; but perceiving ho sllll breathed, they used tho usual remedies, and he soon showed signs of reluming consciousness. They then entreated him to say what had happened, when ho staled that tho night before ho notic ed tho gloomy appearance of tho room to his attendant, who said it bad lrnrdly been used sinco the Into Countess' death. It was tho room sho nml tho Count had occupied; and sinco her demise it had tho reputation of being haunted. 'Frltag was not afraid of spirits, and settled himself for llio night without any apprehension. Ho had been in bed about a couplo of hours, when ho was awakened by n noiso proceeding from tho furthcroxtrcmity of tho room. IIu sat up, anil was terrified by seeing a tall female, clad in white, with glaring eyes and bright golden hair flowing over her shoulders. Stalking up to tlio bed, sho silently beckoned to him, and lie mechanically roso und followed her through n long narrow passage, when she turned nsido into a room, quite brightened by tho moonlight streaming through tlio window, but so covered with dust that it seemed ns if no mor tal hnd been in it for years. Sho raised tho lid of a chest, and with a- wild scream held towards him tho skeleton of a child. At tills moment ho desciib ed all changing and becoming black as pitch. Tho next thing ho was conscious of was tlio buzz of voices round ills bod. "All tho listeners to this mysterious story wero struck with amazement. Tlio old housekeeper said tho room was fro quented by a spirit, and so said nil the credulous. Tlio skeptical portions of tlio household tried to persuade Fritng thai ho must have had a bad dream. 'Tho Countess, a women of strong mind, insisted on sending for the mag. istrate, and having a thorough iuspec tion of tho room. Accordingly a car riage was despatched for that function ary without delay, it was somo time befo io lie arrived, as the dislanco from tho castlo to his lcsidenco is about ten miles. Tho Countess resolved not to leave tho room for ono moment till ho carne. 'Hcrr Sallag was only too glad to tin dorlnke theconimission of investigation. Ho had often pressed tho Count loallow him to inspect llio apartment, and so put a slop to tho reports circulated about its being 'haunted;' but somehow tho Count always contrived to put it till'. His absonco now prevented any further obstacle, and without delay IlerrSnltag aeco mpnnied by the Countess and Frit ng, searched every part oftho room, but without nny je.-ult. It was all in vain, that they shifted tlio bed, tnok down llio eurtai n, changed tho position of tho furniture there was no trace, frit ng showed tlio exact place of the spirit's cntr mice and exit. Tlio wall was next .sounded it was solid masonry. Thero was not a panel that could slido up or down. Tho Countess declared thero was no passago connecting that room with any other In tho tower. Still Frltag persisted in ids story; nml tlio mngis trate said he would not leave tho place till ho eon Id account satisfactorily for it. 'Accord! ugly ho ordered a Inddor,and mounting it, passed Ids hand carefully over tlio wall, as If by clianco ho might discover a hidden spring. After about an hour s pent in tills way, ho exclaim ed suddenly, 'I have it, I havo it I' and by pressing hard with his finger, ho moved a heavy door sliding into the wall, so as not to bo perceptible outside, This led ton flight of steps, nlso mado In tho wall; then another spring-door opened into a set of rooms in tlio tower, that belonged to a superannuated nurso of t ho family, who lived in these apart ments. Tlio room into which Frltag had been led tho night before, was to tho left of this narrow passage, bcfoio coming to tho steps. Into this tlio mag istrate went. It was as Frltag describ ed, covered thick with dust; but they perceived tho trace of a nuked foot. Following this foot-print they camo to tho window-Bill, but no chest was visi ble. After examining all around, tho Countess suggested that tho window sill itself might bo raised; but there neither seemed liingonor lock. Howov er, tho planks wero lifted, nnd awful to relate, thoskelctou was found there. 'Horr Sultag would not allow tho Countess to proceed any further ; and giving tho body of tho child to ono of his attendants, ho proceeded with Frit ng. They descended tho steps, and go ing to tho door, which was easily open ed, there they saw tho identical whlto figure crouched in tho corner, her beau tiful golden hair hanging disheveled over her; and tho witch-liku iiurse,wlth her arm raised, about to strlko her wretched victim.

Tills fearful tragedy Is soon elucidat ed, Count Von Wilberstein and his wife, a beautiful but portionless girl, whom ho had married, wero travelllngnbro.itl, when they met with Mademoiselle Clara Dugue, tho daughter and only child of a wealthy merchant. Tho Countess was near bet confine ment, mid tlio Count saw, if ho could only gel her out of tlio way, ho might easily obtain tho baud und forltiuo of Mademoiselle Clara. Tho fiendish thought no sooner presented Itself to his mind than ho hastened to put It iu execution. Ho traveled back In dla gulso to his Castlo ofHilbersleln, near COL. DEM. - VOL. XXXIV NO. 21. Blenheim, carrying his wlfo with 1dm; but causing It to bo reported in Romo that thoy had gono to Milan. Shortly after tho birth of his child, ho himself strangled tho now-born babo in llio mother's prcsenco; tlio sight of her murdered Infant deprived tho poor Countoas of reason. Ho then placed her under tho caro of tho old hag with whom sho was found, thlnklng,perhaps, sho was as safe there ns iu her grave; mil by this means tried to quiet his con science by not having deprived her of life. Tho only being to whom ho con fided ids secret was his sister, but sho was iu no way partaker of tho deed, not having lieard of It llll after his second marriage. The weight of this dreadful secret broko her heart. Count Von Silbentoln hastened back after this foul deed to Rome, nnd there cauctl it to bo circulated that his wlfo nnd child wero dead. A few months after ho sought from Monsieur Duguo llio hand of ids fair daughter; tho nm bl lions old merchant was dazzled by n glittering coronet, and forced his reluc tant child to marry tho Count. Tho poor maniac had always occupied the 'Black Chamber.' Tlio first night I liavo Introduced her as making her np pearanco there, the nurso had gono to a feast In tho lower stories, and think Ing sho hod left her charge asleep, ven tured down tho private passago I havo described, tho existence of which was only known to herself.

Tlio next time sho was not so fortunate. Tho second visit was when her nurso was engaged in a similar manner as beforo, and sho gave, as sho thought, to her husband his murdered child. It was Just then tho woman discovered her nnd took her away. My poor friend Auerbach's health improved only for a short time; the so lu tion of llio mystery camo too late. Tlio shock his constitution had rcceiv o d from that strango visitant, and tlio indissoluble contract by which ho had supposed himself to be bound to a su pernatural being, were too much for his strength, which gradually gave way and In less than n year ho died. Ji. Tunny Bird. A recent traveler in Australia thus describes the performances of a tamo cockatoo, known by its pet name of "tho Doctor:" It pretended to liavo a violent tooth ache, and nursed its beak in its claw. rocking itself backward and forward as if in the greatest agony, and, iu answer to all tho remedies which wero propos ed, croaking out, "Oh, it ain't a bit of good," and llnally.sidlinguptothoedgo oi its i mil, and saying in a hoarsobu confidential whisper, "Give us a drop of whiskey, do." it would also pretend to sow, holding it littlo piece of cloth underneath its claw which rested on the perch, nnd going through tho motions with tho other, getting into dUlleullies with its thread, and finally singing a loud song in prnifo of sewing machines, Just in If it wero tin advertisement. Tho "Doctor's" best performance is when ho imitates a hawk. Ho reserves this lino piece of acting until his mis tress is feeding herpoultry ; llien.when nil the hens and chickens, turkeys and pigeons aro In tho mulct enjoyment of their breakfast or supper, tho peculiar shiill cry of a hawk is heard overhead, antl the "Doctor" is seen circling in tlio nir, titieiingnscrcnm occasionally. Tho iowis never nnd out that it is n hoax, but run lo shelter, cackling in tlio great est nlarm hens cackling loudly for their chicks, turkeys crouching under tho bushes, tlio pigeons taking refuge In their house. As soon as tlio ground is quite clear, cocky changes his wild noto for peals of laughler from a high tree, and, finally alighting on tlio top of n hencoop filled with trembling chick ens, remarks, in a suffocated voice, iou'Ji ho tlio death of mo." The Doctou Fooled. A poor Yau keo doctor was onco called from his bed on n stormy night with tho startling summons: "Doctor, I want you to come right straight awoy oir to Bank's. His child is dead." "Then why tlo you como?" " He's plsoned. They'vo given him laudinum instead of parcgorick." "How much have they given him?" "Do'no. A grcnt denl. Think ho won't get over it." Tho doctor pushes off through tho storm, meets with divers mishaps by tho way, and nt length arrives nt the house of his poisoned patient and finds nil closed. Ho knocks furiously, nnd ut iasta nightcap appears fiom a chamber window, and a woman's voico squeaks out, "Who's theio?" "The doctor, to be sure; you sent for him. What is tlio matter?" "Oh, Its no matter, doctor. Ephraim Is better. Wo got a littlo frightened, that's all." 'How much laudanum did ho swal low?'' "Only two drops, Taint hurt him nt nil. Wonderful bad storm to-night."

To-day tho work of taking tho census begins. Notwithstanding tho fact that tho Superintendent of tlio Census has Issued qullo mtnuto instructions to tho Assistant Marshall, wo venturo to as sist in making their duties moro plain totliem. Each Assistant Marshal should cut these instructions out and panto them carefully in ids hat. Tho enumeration is to bo mado by actual inquiry at ovcry dwelling-house, unless tho head of tho houso is out In tlio bam, when you may inqulro there, but not otherwise. Tills duty must bo performed by tho Assistant Marshal alone; ho can't send a boy. Marshals must take pains to employ intelligible terms. IT a man Is a "shoe maker," no matter if ho calls himself it minister or an editor, put him down ns a shoemaker. Don't call a man an "arllsl" because ho goes out whitewashing, or a "sailor" simply because ho tcnd3 a saw-mill. A man may bo "engaged in a bank," nnd yet bo nothing but a burglar, and you must bo careful and maku the distinc tion. When a lawyer, a merchant, or u manufacturer has retired from business, say "retired lawyer," "retired merch ant," Ac. If a man has served a term in tho penitentiary you may say "re tired convict." Distinguish between stouo-iuasona and freemasons. Bo particular nnd never describe u woman nsnn "old maid," if you over expect to travel that way again. In tho tobacco business mako the prop er distinction between wholesale and retail and "pigtail." Don't put down a teacher of boxing as a "glover," or a sausagemaker who buys up cats as a "fur dealor." Separate the cooks and waiters at the betels, particularly if they have male cooks and female waiters. When you find men who are ashamed or afraid to tell what their occupation is, you may set them down as of "no occupation," for it is evident they havo ho occupation to speak of. Use tho term "huckster" in all cases wliero it applies. If any one objects, let that old tuck stir about it all ho pleases. That's all thu good it will do him. When you employ the word "pack er," indicate whether you mean "crockery-packer," "mule-packer," "pork packer," or Governor Packer, of Penn sylvania. In using the term "Judge," let us kuow whether ho is judge of a court, whiskey, or horso-race. Officials should havo their profession designated, if they have any, as "Re tired merchant, Governor of Massa chusetts;" "Bono-boiler, Representa tive in Congress;" "Rum-seller, mem ber of tho Legislature,'-' etc., etc. Be particular to distinguish between farmers and fann-linuds. This can bo done by observing which call the other up In the morning. It isn't necessary to inqulro tho occu pation of children under a year old. Set them down under tho general head of "milkers." When an nble-bctlled young man do ponds upon n poor nnd feublo old moth er for support, set him down its a "loaf er." Bo very particular in taking "Diseas es," particularly small-pox. Tho Cen sus Bureau desires all tho statistics pos siblu regarding small-pox, and Assist ant Marshals must give their personal attention to it. Among social statistics tho amount of courting dono by our young peoplo is important. Careful and delicate inquiry will result in an accurate aud valuable estimate nf the amount of gas, oil, tal low caudles, Ac, consumed in "sitting up" Sunday nights. Wo trust that with the nbovo ru!os always at hand tho census takers will bo enabled to perform their duty credit ably und satisfactorily. Cincinnati Times, June 1. "Fliti'ity-Flopi'ity." A country girl oneo went into tho city to pay a visit to ono of her old and best friends; this friend was married to a rich city merchant, and a leader of fashion. In city etiquette, of course, tho visitor was verdant, and mado numerous mistakes. Her friend wished to initiate her into t ho "mysteries," and as thoy wero go ing to a largo bull, gavo her the follow ing instruction, viz: "Eat only ono small cake and ono saucer of ico cream, and when your attendant presses you lo tako moro, answer that you havo masticated a sufficiency, and moro would bo a superfluity." Things went on very smoothly until her attendant asked her to partake of moro refresh ments, when, to the horror of her friend nnd amusement of tho company, sho answered, in a loud voice; "I nave ovaporated insufficiently any moro would go fllppity-ilopplty." It is related that Rev. Dr. Samuel Wet, of New Bedford, onco reduced n refractory choir In tho following way : It having been rumored that thoy would not sing a nolo on tho next Sab bath, lie commenced morning worship by giving out tho hymn : "Come, yo who lovo tlio Lord.''
