1 In a corner of the court-yard of the 01
_Castle of Nerleau may be seen the crumb
ling stone statue of a peasant,..Which his
1 stood there for many ages.: - ' . : .
' In the - data When good Christians .
ed Heaven Iv- faith and' goodlworks, Sa
, tan was .forced to exercise his wits to
1 draw..them into his snares ; helovas there
' fore ranch more frequently to be; Seep . .
Meng men at that time 'than he is fiow,
(florin; these days he has no tieed to come
taus, as we of our own accord go to him)
But whatever of forethought he might eX.-
ereise, and -Whatever pains- the evil spirit,
might take,. his most carefully prepared
plots would sometimes fail,- even when
brought to bear upon the simple ones.
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.
"Ah ! if [had buts good farm," said
['poor Laurent to himself, " ra inake Jean- I
1 cite worth being looked; after I..iy. the beSt 1
lads in the commune ; but with the pe - Or 1
wages of a day laborer, how. can -1' put ;
anything aside? Ifthe Count: of Largoet 1
1 would only give me some assistance; !I
would clear some alas land fiar him, and 1
we would both be gainers by the bargain"
Hunger„ they say, brings the - Wolf out
of the forest, and father Laurent, hiving 1
, laid all the plans; paid a visit to, the esS-
tle of Largoet, - mid proposed to ihe-Coupt I
1 to - take a part of his land-and get it in
I order, if he would make him a good ad

" Very good,"' ,
said the set ; "I' will
1 give you-a hundred crowns, a good herd
of cattle, and all the tools. yon want, brit i
bj . this time, three vears, vou'innst hare
1 cleared, and plantea s and . lledged, all the
land that is allotted to you." 7 -
1 ' Thoroughly delighted with his bargain,'
I Laurent confidently set to work. - He
built a cottage for hithself -and his (laugh-
i ter, ankstalls for the cattle; for in those
I da y s, with hundred crowns, -it great
-many' stones could he2 . ,put one upon k• - •
an
other. 7 :

'. When' once they were lot ge , the good'
1 man engaged. laborers, who cut ditches,
f
i plowed the land, and sowed a great field,
..:
; winle• they' lived the whole ; year upon
' what was borroFed. But little °spira
-1 tionT of twelve months, Laiill-ent found'
himself far poorer. ;Tian at the Ibeginning,
1 for he was in debt, and he t had :hardly any
corn, as the harvest had.been had, and
- his'
laborer's; who had been badly fed and not
paid at all, had all left bin,.
1. 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 prefer working alOne." : ,
i Well, hut I'll work for. yori,and with
! out wages." ‘. ; ' 1
"Oh, no! you never give anything for
nothing," said the peasant.
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, then, I decline." i 1 ' ,
"By no means; you old idiot I" said sa
tan; "it isn't you rd have,; but your
•; daughter." , r .
"You'd have My daughter!'_ Go along
with you!" said the exasperated Laurent.
"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. Da'y and night
he racked his brain tO find some means of
occupying the activity of satin ; he lost,
his appetite; and he. daily esrew thinner
dad ,
sadder. .. - - . ..
But ohemorrdng,„when he got up, he
had' quite lOst his gloomy and inoroie
manner, and Seemed almost . - !beiside him
self with joyl and when sus ivorkman
came to ask for work,' Laurent in a care-
I leas manner, took him by the, shoulder and
said:-. 7 : •, , , . 1

• So the doll set to work, plunging his I
fork again , and again into the iheap of
wheat, without picking:4ra single grain.
"Confound-it I" he cried: ont.With an
oath, "what dog's work have --yed given
ine here?" and he leaned upon
p his fork
in •destair.. •
" Well, my find-fellow," said Unrent,
"if you won't do My work, yon; can get
some elsewhere; for I'M not going to feed ;
you for nothing . ! Do you understand ?"•i
"Yes, yes, I understand," growled Sa.
tan, furious - at beitig thus outwitted. "I I
will leave you, but I'll have my! revenge
some day." And hedisappeared.
.
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.
" Bother! I can't see anythingtke box
must be - double. If I. Were ,to open
it—only a little bit? No, that Won't (hi.
Nicholas told me there would ' ; be some ac
cident if I did. 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;

',When the landlord ofiioOusly announced
that "the refreshments were . ready,"
the successful detective gallantly crooked
his

'where it Was his delight to crowd upon
I her notice all thellelicious rarities the-ta

barricaded with frosted and sufrar cakes,

"I said .I would tell you my . story.—
ell, to ben, I was born in th is town of
&Wilton, something lesi than si*ty.ydhrs
ego. My father was a small tradesman;
and sent me to the best school ibe could
afford till I ,Was a little: over
: thirteen. I
Used to. recite on the public days in the
school, and #peat Latin and Greek ora
tioas, of whielt the meaning was not a lit
tle obscure even to me;, 'what it must
have been to my hearers- I don't know.
My father took ine away from the school
to the shop. He was a tailor.:lt worried
me to death to sit hour
,after hour , stitch,
stitch,- stitch ;; and I used.. to beguile the
time by reciting and reading: to the few
men my father emploYed; and,they
.41d 'My
share of the Work in rethin for the amuse
ment I afforded ,them.
"At the eke of fourteen - I took part hi
some prkateLtheatricals iu the; town, and
found the buitle of preparation much more
"pleasant than the dull shop work. . They
went. off well; and when next the playerk !
came tokthe town I went tote manager
and asked him to take me. He, laughed,
for I Was fit for nothing. Of- course -I
was too big tor a page, and too little for a
man-at-aims teo . young for 4 : first,sec
ond; or even-third lover, and too old fcii
any aecidental boy parts. I was disap-
I pointed, but I soon had to leave •the then
detested shop. My father was of rather ,
i a serious turn. He heard of my going, to I
I the manager; and locked too up, then
I about sixteen, and fed me on ; bread. mid
I water. This was •rather too ' bad, so I
took French 'eave, and when !the. bread
and water -clime one morninkl - there 'was
none to catlit. I was pleased tofi nd
I mySelf with
,pair:vf socks and a . clean
shirt rap up in a - handkerchief, about to
face the and try to wring the hard
held honors 'rom stern fortune's heads.
I Still, I - was young then. I need scarcely
tell you thatidtting lierei often regretted
that fine May morning's work that. took
I me from hoMe. • -
"I went td One town afteranother ; and
1 at eacksonght out the manager; of the
, theatre, and tried hard to get - in-as any
, thing. • It Bras no use; my voice was pot
yet set or cetain. -‘ Why, young sir,'
1- said one to nie, 'you are as slini as a girl,
I and : if you were to make love in the tone
you've beenkalking to me, the. people
- I.would insist that I had made a girl play the
lover's part. I'd takti you, but you are.
no use to me at all ; two ward hence you
may come again, and I may talk..to you.'
I felt it was true,but stilly wanted to.
be in -a theatre; 'so I entered a traveling
! circus comp:illy - as holder and,; ring-raker.
:•I kept at it f eighteen monthS and then
the manager joined another in titc. regular
1 acting line. Now was my chance:- -They
wanted a loVk and wanted him to tide;
their first loqr could no more sit on a horse
thau a sack c Add ; the first laay saw him
once, and said she die with laugh--
