Not far from me was Carl Von Arnheim. We were both' members ,of the German Universi ty. jThe fire blazed fitfully, wreathing itself in glowing spirals around the II 1 1 i 1 A 1 1 I nuge logs inat were siowiy ueiug vuii- s umed. 5 jl was about going olf in a doze, when, suddenly, Carl recalled me to my. senses by asking : , 'Do you know thai the Baron Von -j ami his lovely daughter I are In town?" r -""i ' ' l I replied in the affirmative. As 1 gazed On his faco as it slowly settled to its dark, weired aspect,, I was forced to give credence to those stories bruited around among the students of some strange, super-natural gifts with . which Carl Von Arpheim was endowed. I had often met him ; and.from the first acquaintance he had somehow attached himself to me. On being asked why, by some one, he replied that his and ray own desti nies were united; that I would be ne cessary to him some time in the future. - The persons he alluded to in his ques tion j to me were , known to both of us. Baron Von was a frank, free-hearted German nobleman. His daughter, Eena, as she was called, was the most beautiful creature I ever saw. Not on ly that her beauty attracted mfe for we were secretly engaged; but it had evi dently touched the heart of the sombre, pale-faced German student, Carl Von Arnheim. J -do not know whether the thought of my lieing. attached to Rena ever! troubled him.! He' seemed conti dent, and feared no rival. But, as I watched ,him.j that night, he had a strange look of - fierce deter mination on his-face. - -Presently he turned toward me, and fixed his eyes on mine It was impossible to avoid his glance; a lurid light seemed playing in the very depths of his eyes. I could not move nr speak. Another moment and his hands were moving before me, and I knew tltat Carl was a mesmerist, and that I was under his control. Soon I lost all consciousness, and when I awoke to what appeared a new state of existence, 1 saw Carl still looking" at what was myself ; but from which, in spme manner, I was separated. ,f 1 had often read of the duality of our existence; but never comprehended its meaning so clearly before. Here 1 was looking on a living and breathing bo dy, from '.which the fcoul, the Ego of metaphysicians, was absent. Carl still continued to gaze fixedly at my 'body, then, though he spoke not, I knew he was addressing me. 'I here was no word uttered ; but still-the hor rible, purport of his meaning was con veyed to ineV the more ; distinctly as we were conversing spirit with spirit. Knowing by his diabolical arts that I had won the love of theLady Rena, he was' conjuring my soul from its body, which hi3 own soulwas to enter, while I was to dwell the inhabitant of his bo dy. I could not struggle; I could only submit. I J :. -, -, In j this way he was to win the Xady Rena and I was to lose her forever. Again I lost consciousness; and when I came to myself I found the transfor mation' complete, and Carl had depart ed. I was sitting, alone by . the fire of the German inn in the body of Carl Von Arnheim!. ; I arose to leave. The little inn-keeper stepped up briskly, and handed , him his bill. j.

M - Yes ; j henceforth I was. to i be Carl Von Arnheim, and he was to be myself. 1 paid the hill and then I .departed. ; , y: And now, as I came out "in the cold, frosty air, the terrible truth dawned i upon my mind for the. first time in its awful reality. What' was I to dd ? Where was I to go? Would inot be worse than madness to try and retain the love of Rena in my present guise ! Should I attempt that, Carl Von Arn heiro In his new personality, would forestall me by declaring me a madruan ; V.k:" ,?yfiAHY? TJIfiK..' - ;x :. I aaa Keoa woulcl Delleve mm.

When he saw me he threiw a malicious, triumphant glance. The sleigh and all rushed past ; and I staggered and fell and then knew no more, S When I recovered my senses I found mvself in CarPs room. I recognized it, for I had been there once or twice be fore at his invitation. . A physician and one or two students were standing be side the bed where I lay . I opened my eyes and thanked them for their kind ness. ; : " ' Again the horrid real dition burst upon me, ty of my con and I nearly fainted again. Rallying my strength, I told ; them to leave me, as I wished to he 'alone. The physician gave them a sign, arid all went out. I lay for some moments longer, frying j;o reflect upon my situation. At length I rose up and paced the room. . A desire for vengeance -had seized upon me. A thousand schemes sug gested themselves to me by which 1 could obtain satisfaction ; but none "of them seemed to content my morbid imagination. 1 looked about the roonu In 1 one corner I espied a large, iron bound chest, which Carl was always particular never to open in my pres ence. A thought struck me; Why might not this chest contain secrets 1 .... . which it would be of importance for me to know! s But how to get into it! I hesitated a monlent. Carl must have carried the key which unlocked it in his pocket. 1 felt for the key.. Sure enough there was a large one there. . I took it out and tried the lock. It yield ed, and I opened the chest. . There was nothing in it except some chemicals, several old, Wrinkled, and yellow parchments, nd in , a small box by itself, an amber ring."". I had a pre sentiment that with these means I was to work my deliverancej I examined the manuscripts; large rolls they were, filled with diagrams, and words in the Latin lan sruasre. Being; familiar with the latter, I was at no loss to understand their meaning. What! Had. the day ol magic re- turned? Here were directionsfor call ing the powers of darkness to the act of humanity; the hidden mysteries of na ture revealed and explained ; and vdis sertations of a metaphyseal character on the mind of mail, and its unknown affinities with the world bf spirits. All was apparently written! long ago it might be centuries. I sat all day stu dying the mysterious writings. Night came and, after, obtaining a little nou rishment for the body that was mine for! the time being, I lit locking ' the door, still a lamp, and, continued to pore over those wonderful manuscripts that were revealing to me with every line 1 read strange secrets, which would make my power Over mankind irresistible. ; ; ";' ! ' " ' ' All that was demanded for the pos sessor of this secret was !a peculiar or ganization. With the bo4y of Carl Von Arnheim i, of course had obtainted his tempartement, and facility to use these pqwers." 1 determined to make myself master of them, and then let the vil lian look to himself. He had forfeited all his power by taking upon hlra my organization, so great had been his love for the beautifdl Lady Rena,. - . Little J did he think that I would ct with my inheritance as I Intended.. My heart beat with hope J . Already I seemed to grasp revenge. With that Amber Ring, and the knowledge of its wonderful properties made known to me by these old manuscripts, 1 would bring him down -down to the very lowest pit of misery., pver the way the mansion of the Ba ron the father of ; Rena. i It was lit up with a thousand brilliant lights. 1 1 heard the sound of music; and dancing. As ;i looked from the window-1 saw passing by. the opposite ! window, and inside the gorgeous drawing-room, Re na and Carl, arm in arm. I did not stagger that time. I smiled with se cret exnltation . Going to my table I unrolled a manuscript and read : : ' "The odic fluid is generated by wea ring the Amber Ring on the third fin ger of the left hand, and by the odic fluid, matter , and mind are .united. When odyle is withdrawn from the bo dy the mind is free, and can be com manded."

The little jkeeper of the inn was bustling about as usual, and before me seemed lying the veritable box I had seen burning a month be fore. I shook Carl.

In Delhi, India, we saw the celebra ted basket "trick,"-which is sometimes; poorly imitated by professional jug glers in this country. A native pro-' duced a basket and a blanket, !and after permitting lis to see that they contained; nothing, inverted the basket on the ground and covered it with the) blanket. We paid no attention to his incantations, but kept our eyes fixed on thje basket arid the space around it, resolved that no boy should be smuggled nto it or out of it without seeing him j. What made the triekjstill more wonderful was the fact j that the performer sjtood in a clear space, and we could look down upon him as he proceeded. He went through the customary act of thru stingy a sword through the insterstices of the basket, when the cries of a boy were heard as if in mortal pain issuing from1 the basket. Turning it over, there was a boy apparently unhurt and seemingly; enjoying the fun, Restoring the bask et, with the blanket over It, to its for mer position, with the boy under it. f theruggler went through the same in cantations,' and then running his sword under the blanket, tossed it away from him-.' Turning over the basket, no boy was 'to be seen. So far as anything could be observed there was no possible place in which the little fellow could be concealed. Another feat quite as tonishing we saw performed in the streets of Constantinople. An itinerant magician showed us a cane which had the appearance of being of Wood and verykriotty.- This he tossed in the air as high as he could, and when it touch ed the ground it took the formlof a live serpent, with blazing eyes and rapid movements . It looked like a dangerous specimen, and one which no man would like to approach. Catching J up this monster the 1 fellow coiled it round his neck and fondled it, while it j writhed and exhibited the most venomous quali ties.

On a late, passage of the steamer Dreia on the Hudson she was detained below Albany by a heavy fog. CatTtain Roe was standing near the pilot house on the lookout!, when he was approached by a venerable gentleman of rural apv pearance. The boat was pushing for ward with half speed and great caution. "Captain,"! said the stranger, "why don't you drive off the fog?" j "Just the thing I should like to have you tell me how to do." v MIS11 tell! you' how an old German frietd of mine years ago did it," and the passenger cdthmenced by saying : 'In the rich Valley of the Mohawk there is a quiet- little village called Spraker's Basin. Many years ago, be fore there was such a thing asa. railroad in the State of New York, the veritable Mr; Spraker, the patriarch and founder of Spraker 'a Basin, was keeping a tav ern a mile or so from the village, upon the thoroughfare known as Johnstown Road. Spraker's as it is generally called, was in early times the great ren dezvous for the Mohawk farmers, white journeying jto Albany with their wheat, and of the tfefferson and Lewis County drovers. Now and then a New York merchant oh ! f his trip to the Northern settlements j great wood was to be seen before the fire in Spraker's tavern. This class of travelers were held ; in much respect by old Spraker and the honest Dutch farmers on the river. - ...-. ... .. . - une ot this class accosted the old man on the porch one foggy moVning, with : Mr. Spraker, do you have much of this sort of Weather, down here in this valley?" - " I "Oh, yeesj put we tout mind it, Mr Stewart, I has a way of triving It off Ish no matter jat alJ, tish fog."

"And baboons?" "More'n a dozen." "And stuffed bridegrooms "Yes, heeps of 'em.'i 1 ) The boy had his suspicions, but curl-; sity overcame them, and he Anally onsented t! go in. -As he entered the arlor the mother winked at Bijah over his 'head, whispered the one word Elixir," and she was gone before John Henry could realize the situation.
