There was, then, at that tune, in the commune of Eleven;a poor .peasant nam ed Laurent; he was a widower; and bad no other possession in the world . than 1a beantiful daughter, the. pearl Of the eonn-, try, who went by, the name of ilair Jean ette; - but though the love• of money was then less prevalent that Lit is now, no one envied.the good man his treasure, and ; none of the lads of the parish, thought . 1 they were always delighted with an °ppm.- tunity of dapeing with Jeanette, hnd paid I ' her fine compliments, ever thought of mar- 1 !Ting-her.

One day, when the unfortimate Lau rent was digging a trench sic*, and the ; sweat was runnieg in streanni from his brow, and his limbs were :idling with fa tigue, he laniented his hard fotand clutch ' ing his hair, cried out:— 1 "Yes, I would, I'd give myself to the devil for a mere nething.", 1 • "Here lam at your service,"•saidca -1 tan, who . was immediately at•liand. - 1 " - No, no, by no means, thank' you," said Laurent!"

I "Come," said Satan, "don't; go on ar-. 1 going, but let's make a bargain. - I pity 1 you, for I am a good hearted fellow, and I'll work for you for a year and a day for nething,'on the condition Omit you'll al ways supply me with work ; blii the very i I first time it fails, I—" ' ; .- 4 1 • ; ' 1 -- "You'll carry me off," saiOelieasant.

"Well, but if you always - knnain poor, you'll have no - means of getting yoUr daughter married." , " - Well, then, let her be an Old maid ail )ter life; I don't care." I " Yes, it's possible you don't care ; but how about her ?" - -- Poor Laurent set himself to- think,- "There's a grad sight '6 work--to be done here, and I shall easily employ him for a year and a day ; he'll be awfully cunning if be contrives to (le all I shalt give him." "Well, 'he said, at length, "..1—" ' "Yon refuse?" said Satan. 1 . "No, on the' contrary, I accept" - "Well, then, master, what Shall I do?" "Finish this ,ditch, ;bile I go and rest." As . long as there - were fields. to . he plowed mid sown, grasi to be cut, corn be threshed, and wagons to be built, all went on well, and they were -quite at their ease ; . ' but after eight lays of hard labor, there was not much left IS be done and the fear of finding nothing 'for bi; workman ,to do began to torment the good man, who looked at has daughter with fear and trembling.

I - A short time after this, • a fore i gner, having purchased this land whieli'the-dev il bad put into such good condition, built I upon it the 'castle of-Kerlean, the ruins of which are still standing, and Laurent, now, I become a rich man, having .no liMger any 1 difficulty in =trying his daughter Jean ! ette, was making preparatiOns! for her nuptials with a rich young far Mer. He was anxious to hays:a magnifieent wed ding, ;and determined that •eyerythiug 1-should be in the best style; so lie: bought the finest cloth ,that could be (hug, and "selected the most renowned tailpr in the country to make the clothes. The tailor's name -was Nicholas, and he did - his work in a manner that no one' could tthderstand. He was seen to cut the cloth, btu no one had ever seen him sewing; hoWeyer, the clothes which were intrusted to him were always well made, were strongly sewed, 1 and were alWays finished by the- day on I which he bad promised them. As soon as he had taken the measure, he cutout the cloth, put the-pieces into a boX,iand. then I went out to smoke and drink at a tavern. I Some said that Nicholas was wizard, bat - a great many said that he bad sold himself to to the devil, and theYlwere not I far from the mark; for when _Satan knew that Nicholas had been sent fur to Kerleau to make the.wcdding cluth6,lfel "came to him and said • - "I have got to have my reve nge: upon that fellow Laurent, and I reeh, l on • upon your doing me a good . turn; uow.yan Must give me his daughter 'cm itJ wil be r hp worse for yon. Do ycig understand me , you tippler?'-' _ "Ail right," said the tailor.• PIMA how and *hen shall deliver .Teanetteto you ?" .‘. 4 . Oh, I leave you to the choicie of the means; but as you arc going to Iterlean to-morrow, to-morrow I must have Jean ette. Now I warn you„not to fail." So the next' day !CichOlas was at Ker leau;sand began to cut the eloOk early in tho morning, when suddenly he said •to Jeanette, Who was 'Watching Win : -"'Good gracious ! what a .hpthcr s ! I'm pulled up short for want of ray! tools. I've left my box behind me, and I dan t get on for want of ii." "Oh, never mind," said the "I'll p.l'and fetch it - fin: you." - '! You're no end of a ~.-ood Jean ette,".said the tailor; -" - here'S joy key; you'll find the box on the board . , just .bc neath the window. But mind you don't open it, or ,on i 1 meet Arith a ini;fortune." " no, ease o your mind on tlUit score," said Jeanette. " rwon't Open And she - ran oir: When she had . got the Nox;:she put it under her :arm, and- carried it i carefully without' venturing to look at it. i Pre:-Eint ly she thought the heard something inside it—yes, ~ there it was again ; i a regular whispering, n tittering, and -What a queer clatter tat an od , l noise it 4 W m .i . ,_ " I nder hether I could see through the : o r l tole - r So she took1„14 key ,out.

However, it Was . only to frighten me - that he said so.! He's- a cunning - fellow, and does' not, Want his se cret to get wind. It's all nonsense; what could happen. if I did just look into it ? 'lf there is an animal inside, it can't eat me, for it's not as big- as I am.", Reasoning thus, - Jeanette, who was then in the middle' of a ,wide !common, gently opened the lid of te boa about an inch, but- no sooner had she - done this, than a whole host of little dwarfs.--not as, large as }-our-thimble; each with a ,little .red, cap IifiCIII his head—leaped to the ground and-danced around her; shrieked at the top of their voices : , _ '• Some , work,mistresi ; some work !" I Jeanette stood quite stupified; with her -mOuth open, and looking at the gale men as they gamboled about her. .• But at this„ ! demand for work, she . thoughti she was . lost unless she could satisfy theM; so she cried out : ;. "CoMe, little.red- car, pull up all tho brushwood on the common. " I " So they immediately began to pull all the tuft's of broom, and iR an instant the whole common was cleared. "Some liork,•sonie work.!" they' cried again. . , . ' Make a great pile of the tufts you hare pulled up." . Said Jeanette. 4nd they made a:heap as high as an oak. " Some work, mistress, sOnie work !" laid they again, "Now, my little men," said Jeanette, "climb up to the top of this pile and jump down into the box. • Whereupon they climbed up to the.top and leaped lightly down. As sivu as the lait was in the box, Jeanette double lock ed it and ran with it as hard as she could to the tailor. - - So Nicholas took ..all'the pieces of cloth which he had cut, and stuck needles and thread into them,. and then cipened his box to give them to his "dwarfs to sew ; at the sight of thi little men, who stretch. id -out their hands, thoroughly stained green, heorieil out: " What bare you been doing; Jeanette, with my little -men, that has 'Made their hands so dirty ?" - " she replied, "I am sorry. to say thatin running hick as fast as :could, I let the box slip, 'rind all the poor little-men fell upon the grass, and when I- picked them up I forgot to wash their. hands." "Ah L Jeanette," said the tailor, , you are very , fortunate ,to" have fared no worse." ' "Well,' never. - mind," niin ; .answOred; ". and as your little' men ste;bAidnt enthe and taste Mar ti , R;i." -t- TRiiSE -Fk/C '• . . So Nichota's drank hard all day to drown hiS vexation, and at night, he could. scarcely get up to his rooni. However, when be was there, be opened - his: box, and the dWarls all jumped out and cried,: o "Somo work, master; some Work!" "Carry me down into the: yard," said: Nicholas," I want seine fre4ll air; and my legs Won't carry me." So theY took him down - and placed kiln on the ground, saying again " Some, work,'master ; some work r "AltV4s that accursed song!" said Nieholas.f " Well, pit 4: tip all the chips that thC. stonemason have been making." SO the little redcaps filled every corner of the yard, and s o on made ,a heap of all the chips ; they thenran back . to Nich olas again, saying; " Som& work, _poster; some work!" But Nicholas was snoring, and when they had half awoke, him, all that he could say was : Go to the devil." At. these • words the little demons carried off, the•unhappy tailor, placed him on the heap of grit.and chips which .they had collected, rolled him again and again in it, and rubbed it into Lim till it reach ed his very marrow, and he became stone. .And then they placed him under that tur ' ret wherejle stands to this day: The Auburn Advertiser says the mint tation that RaDU .Hitskins possessed for shrewdneis and Chiming has been consid erably enhanced since his recent masterly escape frolu the Auburn State Prison. It is well known that this accomplished rogue, assisted by potential but unknown influencesf succeeded in walking free and clear of the prison, clothed , in genteel rai ment, with the nicest beaver, the finest kids, the 'glossiest patent-leather boots. Immediately alter his escape, the most rigid measures were taken, to : secure his arrest; ,the most acute and keen scented detectives] were sent out in pursuit; but all attempts - fo catch the rogues proved failures: The Advertiser says:— "A few bights ago it was rumored that Haskins einboldened by his prolonged es cape, determined to visit a ball 4tt a • " tav ern" in one of the small towns in Ononda ga Couritii, in the vicinity of , his former home. TWo well known detectives, who knew Haskins In rsonally, determined to attend the ball, and dressing up in their best, disguised as gay cavaliers, they made their appearance at the tavern just as the fiddle had made its preliminary scrapes and the fair couples had commenced agita ting, the light "fantastic toe." • To purchasei tickets and •'.sail" iu was i the work of a moment, and soon .the gal.! lam detectives were enjoying the delights of the danee, while at the same lime their ! most vig,ilant glances .ivere direeted about `the room fur the escaped Haskins. • 1)u. ring the third or fourth quadrille the lead ing detective sought and obtained an in; troduction to a modest-appearing lady, who had, ilsr the most part, sat quietly in, the shadow of the room, attende d assidu . . onsiv by A polite and attentive gallant. • Ifer quiet demeanor, her graceful figure, ' neat and lasteful dress, and beautifully • tlowiner earls, had won uponthe detective; and much to his companion's annoyance, he succeeded in Monopolizing her compa ny through two or three quadrilles, a contra-dance, and seVeral polkas. ',When the landlord ofiioOusly announced that "the refreshments were . ready," the successful detective gallantly crooked his ,elbow; the fair lady accepted his invi tation, and accompanied. him to; the table, 'where it Was his delight to crowd upon I her notice all thellelicious rarities the-ta ! ble afforded ; she swam in soup, she was barricaded with frosted and sufrar cakes, and frozen with , ,surrounding cream. . A few dances after the supper, a good deal of small talk 'between the tWo, and the lady announced her intention of leay.. in s . The lady excused hersell - froni the obsequious detective and, after an absence of a few-Minutes, appeared with furs and :•; hood, ready for departure. The Iletective, greatly regretting her early 'departure, accompanied' her to the sleigh, tucked the ' robe closely atoitrul her, bid her good bye, and returned to the ball room in pur-; suit of lliskins. The ,detectives returned to . Syracuse, and reported.to,one or two or the „prison officers, who were anxiously awaiting the sequel of the visit, and they were satisfied that Harkins was - not in the county. It . has subsequently been ascertained, beyond a doubt, that the . fair lady who sti com pletely won upon the affections of the en amored dkective, was no other than Dann Hankins, the escaped convict. A Western - Member. Johnson—barely of-age, was elected to the Indiana Legislature. He says:— " When I got near Vincennes, I began to think What a sorry figure, I a green country lad, would cut in an assembly of the wisdom of the State, and it required all my resolution to keep me from turning: back.
