“() clear, dear William,” said Catlic-

swo(‘ping rapidly over her countenatice,
and leaving only a few drops of glillcr-

blue eyes.—“ () beloved William! if

What success he had in liis undertak

of Catherine, on her father’s return with
him from the forest. “A clcvcr lad, that

huntsman cratt. 11a 1 ha I he will be
come a second Kuno. liut do you know
who Kuno was?” demanded he of Wil
liam.
The latter replied in the negative.
“Lo you there now I” ejaculaleil lier-
tramj “ I thought I had tolil you long
since. He was my ancestor, the first
who possessed this siluation. He was
originally a poor Iiorse boy in the train
of the kuight of \N ippach ; but he w'as
clever, obliging, grew a favourite, and
attended his mastei- every where, to tour
naments aiul hunting parties. One.e his
knight accompanied the dukeon a grand
hunting match, at which all the nobles
attended. The hounds chased a huge
stag towards them, upon whose back, to
their great astonishment, sat lied a hu
man I)eing, shriekitig aloud in a most
fi'ightful manner. There existed at thal
period, among the feudal lords, an inhu
man cusiom of tying unhappy wretches
who incurred their displeasure (perhaps
by slight transgressions against the hunt
ing laws) upon stags, and then drivii.g
them into the forest to perish iuisera!)ly
by hunger. The duke Was excessively
enraged at this sight, and oflercd itn-
metise rewards to any one who would
shoot the stag ; but clogged his benefac
tions with death to the marksman, should
his erring bullet touch the victim, whose
life he was desirous to preserve, in or
der lo ascertain the nature of his olVeiu e.
Startled by the conditions, not one of the
train attempted the rescue of the i)oor
wretch, till Kuno, pitying his fate, slej^p-
ed forward and Ijoldly olVerod hisbervices.
The duke liaving accepted ilieiii he took
his rille, loaded it in (iod’s name, and
earnestly recomnuMuling the hall lo all
the saints ami angels in heaven, lireil
sieadily into the buslr.'s iu which he be
lieved the stag had taken refuge. His
aim was tnu'; liie animal instantly sprung
out, plun/ed !o the earth, and expired ;
!)U( the |)oor culprit escaped unhiirl, ex
cept that bis hands and face were miser
ably lorn !iy tlie briers. Tin’ duke ke))i
hi'j word well, and gave to Kuno, and his
doscendaijts forever this situation of
Ibresler. But envy naturally follow s mer
it. and my gooil ancestor \vas not long
iu makini;’ the discove.'v. 'I'herc were
many of tiie duke’s peojilc who had an
eye lo this sifualion, either for them
selves or some cousin or dear frieiul, and
these persuadt’d their m. -.ter that Kuno's
woiuleifnl success was enlirely owing to
sorc.ery ; upon v. iii> h, ihouijh they could
not turn him oiil of his post, they o!)laiii-
eil an order that everyone of his dt.'sceu

boui'ver, the cl.iff forester of the dis-
iritt. 1)1 f.)i-c whom the essay is mude,
can render ..s easy or diflicull as he plea
ses. I w\.s obliged to shool a ring out
of ihe beak cf a wooden bird, w hich w as
swuii'v Ijackwaid and i'orwards; nut 1 did
not fall, any more than my Ibrefathei-s;
and he w lio intends lo succeed me, and
wed my C.ilherini', must be at least as
good a marksman.”
\'>'il!ian', who hud lis'-eiicd very attcti-
lively, was ckliguled wiiii thiS i>iocc ot
family history ? he seized the old nran's
hand, and joyously pi’omised to become,
under his direction, the very first of
marksmen ; such as even j;randfather
Kuno himself should have no-cause to
blush for.
Scarcely had fourleen happy days pass
ed over his head, ere W illiam was set
tled’ as game-keeper in the forester’s
house ; aild Bertram, who became fotider
of him every day, gave his lormal con
sent to hiy engagement with (^atherine.
Il was, however, decreed that their be-
trollirnent should be kept secret until the
day of the marksman’s trial, when the
forester expected to give a greater degree
of splendour to his family lestival by the
presence of the duke’s commissary. Ihe
bridegroom sw am in an ocean ot delight,
and so entirely forgot himsell aiul the
whoh; world in the sweet opening heav
en of love, that Bei-tram frecpienlly in
sisted, lhat he had not been able to hit a
single mark since he had aimed so sue-
-:essfully at Catherine.
And so it really was. From the day
of his hapjiy betrolhmcnt, William had
encountered nothing but disasters while
shooting. At one time his gun missed
lire ; at another, w hen he aimed at a deer
he lodged the contents of his rille iti the
trunk of a tree: when he came home,
and emptied' his shooting-j)ouch, he
found, instead of partridges, rooks and
crtjws, and in lieu of hares, dead cats.—
The fcresler at Unglh grew seriously an
gry, and reproved him harshly lor his
carelessness ; even Catherine be}>;an to
iremblc for the success of the master-
shot.
William redoubled his diligcncc, hut
to no purpose j the nearer the approach
of the important day, the more alarming
grew his misfortunes, every shot missed.
At length he was almost afraid to lire a
gun, lest he should do some mischiel’, for
he had already lamed a cow’, and almost
killed the cowherd.
“ 1 insist upon it,” said the game-kcep-
er Rudolph, one evening to the party, “I
insist upon it some wizard has bew itch
ed William, for such things could
uot happen naturally ; therefore lot us
endeavour to loosen the charm ”
•• Supersliiious slulT !” interni[)ted Bor-
uam angrily ; an honest woodsman
should not even think of such trash. Do
you forget the three things which a fores

always be succcssful in spile of sorcery.'
Come, to your wiis, answer my (piery.”
that can I truly,” answered Rudolph ;
“ he shoula have great skill, a keen dog,
and a good gun.” “ Enough,” said Ber
tram ; “ with these three things every
charm may be loosened, or the owner of
them is a dunce and no shot.”
“ Under fa\ our, father Bertram,” said
William, “here is my gun ; what have
you to object against it r and as for my
skill, I do not like to praise myself, but
I ihink 1 am as fair a sportsman as any

heard amotig ihe bushes, and a (pieer-

will be the satne with every gun you shall
lake into your hands.”
William was startled ; and cndevourcd
to raise objections against the stranger s
belief in wiiches, but the latter oflered to
give him a j)roof of the justice ol
pinions. “To us soldiers,” said he,
“there is no hing strange; and 1 could

which would detain, us here till ’"S
But look here, for instance ; this is a ball
that is sure of hitting its mark, because
it possesses some particular yirvue : try
it; you won’t miss. ” W illiam loaded
his gun, and looked around for an object
10 aim at. A large bird ol prey hovered
high al)ovc the forest, like a niovingdol ,
—“Shoot lhat kite,” said the one leg
ged companion. William laughed at his
absurdity, for the Mrd was hovering at a
height which the eye iiself could scarcely
irach ; Laugh not, but fire,” said ihe
other, grimly i I will lay my wooden leg
that il^falls.” W’illiam fired, the black
dot sunk, and a huge kite fell l)leeding
to the ground. “ Vou would not be sur
prised at that,” said he of the wooden
log to the hunlsman, who was speechless
and staring with astouishmenl : “you
would not, I repeat, be surj)rised at that,

of such balls as these is one of the least

iht' mean time—here, try a lew of my
halls: still you look incredulous, well—till
we meet again.”—
The soldier gave William a handful of
balls and departed. Full of astonishment,
^nd still distrusting the evidence of his
senses, the latter tried another of the
balls, and again struck an almost unattain
able object: he loaded !-is gun in the
usual manner, and missed the
easiest !■ He darled forward to foliow'
the crippled soldier, but the latter was
no longer in the forest, and William was
obligid to remain satisfied with the
promise which he had given of meeting
him again hereafter.
(ireat joy it gave to the honest fores
ter when \Villiam returned, as before,
loaded with game from the forest. He
was now called upon to explain that cir
cumstance ; but not being prcparetl to
give a reason, and above all, dreailing
to say any thing upon the subject of his
infallible balK', attributed his ill luck
lo a fault iu his gun, w hich he luul only,
he [iretendcd, thal night discovered and
rectiliocl. “ Did 1 not tell you so wife,”
said liertram, laughing. “ Your demon
lodged in the barrel; and the.goiilin
which threw down father Kuno this
morning, sat grinning on ihe rusty nail.”
“ What say you of a goblin,” demanded
William; “and what hajjpened to fatlicr
Kuno?” “Simply this,” replied Ber
tram ; his portrait fell of it >elf from the
wall this morning, just as the bell lolled
seven ; and the silly woman settled it that
a go!)lin must l>e at the bottom of the
mischit'f and that we are haunted ac
cordingly.’*
“.\t seven, repeated William, “ at sev
en !” and he thought, with a strange iVel-
iiig f)f aiVright, of the soldier who parted
from him exactly at lhat moment. “Yes,
seven,” conlinuod Bertram, s;ill laugh
ing. “ I do n()l'wonder at your surprise:
it is not a. usual ghostly hour, but Anne
would have it so.” 'I'he latter shook her
head doulnfnily, and prayed thal all

vowed not. lo use the magic balls, but
lhat the thought of his ill luck haunted
him. “ Only one of them,” onlv one c>f
them for the mastev shot, aiul then I am

ester urg'd him the next i.istant to ac
company him into the forest ; and as he
dared noi excite fresh suspicions of want
of skill, nor oiVetul iht; old man by refus-
iiii;, he was again compelled to make use
of his womlerous balls ; and in the course
ol a lew days he had so accustomvd him-

and il he wished to make sure of the

iH’cessary. One day he even refused to

to lie the day of trial, and the chief for

•iiight re(juire other proofs than the mere

to the message, and his excessive alarm
would have excited slrange suspicion, if

it to the delay of his expected nuptiuij.
He w as now oI)liged to sacrifice at lejist
one of his balls, but he solemnly swore ’
that nothing sould rob him of tlie other
but the forester’s master-shot.
Bertram, was outrageously angry whea
William returned from the ibrest wui^
only one stag; for the delivery oider
was considerable. He- was still more
angry the next day at noon, when Uu.
dolph returned loaded with an immense
cjuantity of game, and William reiurnedj
with none : he threatened to dismiss him-
and retract his promise respecting Cmh.
erine, if he did not bring down at least
two deer on the following day. Cathe
rine was in the greatest consternation,
and earnestly besought him to make use
of his utmost skill, and not let a thought
of her interrupt his duties while occupi.
ed in the forest. He departed—his heart
loaded with despair. Catherine, he saw
too plainly, w as lost to him forever ; and
nothing remained but the choice of the
manner in which he should destroy his
happiness. Whilst he stood lost in dm
agonizing anticiiialion of his impending
doom, a'herd of deer approached closc
to him. McchanicaUy he fell for his last
ball; it felt tremendously heavy in his
hand : he. was on the point of dropping
it back, resolving to preserve his treas
ure at every hazard, when suddenly he
saw—O sight of joy !—the one-legged
soldier approaching. Delightedly he let
the ball drop into the barrel, fired,
brought down a brace of deer, and hast
ened forward lo meet his friend ; but he
was gone ! William could not discover
him in the forest.
“Hark ye, William !” said the fores
ler to him in the evening, rousing him
from the torpor of grief into whu li lie
had fallen ; “ you must resent this atl.unt
as earnestly as myself; nobody shall dare
ulter falsehoods of our ancestor Kuiio,
nor accuse him as Rudolph is now do
ing.” “I insist,” continued he, turning
again- to the latter,” “ if good anp;elj
helped him, (which was very likely, lor
in the Old Testament we frequently read
of instances of their protection,) we ought
to be irraieful, and praise the wonderful
goodness of God. But nobody shall ac
cuse Kuno of practising the black art.
He died happily—ay, and holily, in lii?
bed, surrounded by children—which hu
who carries on a correspondence with
the evil one never docs. I saw a terrible
example of that myself, when I was a for
ester’s boy in Bohemia.”
“Let us hear how' it happened, (»ood
Bertram,” said all the listeners ; and the
forester nodded gravely, and continued.
“ I shiver when I think of il; but I wiil
tell you, nevertheless. When a young
man, practising with other youths under
the chief foresters, there used IVecjuontly
