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. Fritag caught tho
woman's nrm beroro it fell.whcn, to his
utter consternation, ho beheld, iu tlio
ghastly misery of madness, tho Count's
jlrsl icle ."
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

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. Tho wretched
crcaturo, missing her guardian and see
ing tlio door open, hastened down tlio
steps; pushing lb o other door back, sho
Instantly recognized herownroomjand,
thinking sh o saw her husband in bed,
in tlio frcn zy of tho moment put tho
fated ring ou ids finger, nnd then re
turned, before she was detected, into
her own apartment. 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.

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.

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

on n stormy night with tho startling
summons: "Doctor, I want you to come

"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

"The doctor, to be sure; you sent for

"Oh, Its no matter, doctor. Ephraim

Taking' Tho CensusRules for tho
Assistant IVXarahalls.
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

"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

"'Let those refuse lo king
Who never kuew our (lis!.'"
Not wishing to bo catalogued ns heath
