left Tarncow, where, through the whole city
he had Fiircivsfully practiced nn a doctor, and
went to Piii'uorzo, where he liejrnn to invoke
tun evil one. The devil appeared, nnd they
ii'adii a contract with earh oilier, ns was then
the custom. Tim evil one leaned aains-t the
wall iif a rock nnd wrote on his knees a lonjj
document, which Thardouski signed with his
own blood.
In this eon1 raet, anions tunny other eondi
linns. wn one tlmt the devil should neither hnve
claim tn the body or onl of Tharilowski till he
hhou'd enteh him al Rome. Thardowski wn.
mpowered to treat the evil one n? his fervnnl,
and thereli.re ho iinmedi.itrly ordered him to
collect till the silver in Poland in one heap, ninl
to ci vr it n.i with 'rent I ivirs of sand. The
j faitlit'ul servai.t obeyed, and it is to Ibis silver
Ihnt the liiiiKins mines ofOikurz owe theirori
i.' ill. Ho then ordered liini to place, ti lofty

Thus oil li-ipj'i'iu d tu !iis wish. Now he rode
nn a paiuied hor.-e, now he (lew nbout without

through Ihe air, now ho entered a boat with
his mistress-, nnd went up Ihe stream, w ithout
sail or oar. now he took a burning .'hi-4 in his,
hand and set towns and villages ou (ilea hun
dred inihv oir.
Once he became enamfire.l of a fair pirl ; he
wished to nrirry her, hit the eirl set a condi
tion nn her favours. She kept an animal inn
bottle, and required every one of her suitors to
I'ticss what it was. Tharilowski disguised

ThnrJoWski nt once perceived tl e ihingi n l
' si'.il.itii.n ; trend. l.ng, he took out of its i i.i
die a littie new ly-chnsiened child, nud walked
upnud down the room with it, The t!ewl, in
his proper tlupe, then rushed in, and, ulthougli
he was smartly dressed, having on a three-cornered
hat, a German frock, a waistcoat which
reached far over his belly, and shoes with silver
bucklesand silken ties, he was at once recog
nised by all, for horns projected from under his
hat, and long claws from his shoes, while a
queue was visible behind.
Me wished to carry ell' Tharilowski at once,
but a great difficulty presented itself namely,
the little innocent child to which he hud no
right, Allcr a long pause he approached the
magician and said ;
This i teally a relish h-cnid, and thr man
to whom it refers i ii b biateil in Poland. lie is

Thnrdoweki saw that, ns a noble, he could
not break his word, go be nynin laid the child in
the cradle, antl went oil' through Ihe chimney
with his comrade. The owl and ravens set up
a cry lor joy. The pair ascendi'iPhiher and
higher, but Thnrdowski did not lose his pre
sence of mind, lie looked down, nnd the prey
earth wns sprend before him. At last he enme
so liieh that the villages appeared ns on'y little
cunts, the towns as (lies, and I'rncow itself no
bieirer than two spiders t His heart became
sorrowful, for he felt he was leaving all that
was dear to him, nnd ns he came higher, where
neither a vulture nor tin raffle of the Carpathi
ans stirred the nir w ith it wings, w hen his look
scarcely sufficed to rcacli the earth, he raised
his voice for the Inst time, nnd fnnjj a hymn
one of those w hich in early youth, when he w ns
ignorant of limbic art.", nud his soul was spotless
and innocent, he had composed in honor of the
Virjjin, r.nd sunn- daily. His voice waf dis
persed in the nir, thiuh he nn;r with full
heart, w hi'e the shepherds who tended tin ir
flocks on the mountains looked up astonished, its
they did nM know what cloud had sent them
the wordri of the pious sonn. ; for the voice i.f
lite mnuiciim did not rise upwards, but descend
ed to the earth to improve the heart of man.
j Me sati ihe hymn tothc end, nnd fnw, to his
! astonishment, that lie r,io no n ure but re.
mained in mill mr ns if fast nailed. Me looked
around; his comrade hid vanished, he oi ly
heard n ,,ni! voice above him, w hich snid: Thus
shall thnn .unj til! the last diy between hen
ven and carii."
And thus he really hnii";s to the present time,
nnd B!lhouh the words have died from his lips
nnd none can now hear his voice, it is but a few
years since the old people, when the full mom
was shining with all its brightness, pointed out
a little speck in the sky, w hich they vo ved wns
the body of our enchanter.

who became acquainted with Mrs. (). in Hll,

was under circiim-tarces i'ot at nil propitious
to the widower's wooing. The testimony as
very voluminous, I nt the Tribune pivesa con

allegation, the principal w ill, esses were a Mr.

On the par oftlie defence, it was contended
that there w as never any premise or intention
of marriage on the part of Mrs. Coles, though
she for n short time reeived Ihe attentions of
h. r ueighNir w ill. cn i!,iy ; but that the whole
nfl'uirhiid been got up by Mrs. Ccniutl', whose
