EUCKMANN-CIIATniAX. .' I. ' The day before Christmas of 1832 my friend Wilfrid, his double-bass ' slun river his shoul der, and I with my. violin under my arm, were 1 A . ti -r- . . w . un uur way irom me .DiacK jp orest to tieideoerg. There had been an extraordinary fall of snow, and aa far as we conld see across the immense desert plain no trace of road or pathway was discernnblo. The north wind whistled its shrill ariette with monotonous persistence, -and Wil- fredhis wallet flattened against his meagre spine, his long heron-legs stretched wide apart, and the peak of his flat cap drawn down to his nose, went on before me, humming some joy ous passage from Ondine..' Now and then he turned round and cried with, a strange smile: ' Comrade, play me the valso from Kobin I feel inclined to dance." A burst jof laughter; followed these words, ann tne goM fellow pushed on more vigorous than ever. I kept pice with hira, sinking in the snow up.to my knee at every step, and feel ing my spiri s sinking by slow degrees. The heights of Heidelberg were coming into sight on the far side of the horizon, and we were itopmg io rcacn our journey end betore night- j.iii, wiiui We iie:iru uie gallop ot a Horse be hind us. It was i then about five o'clock in the evening, and great flakes of snow were swirl ing in the dusky air. Th rider presently came up within twenty paces of us, drew rein, and scrutinised us out of the corner of his eye: and We did the same to him. -; "- : Imagine a large man with red beard and hair, vrearing a superb three-cornered hat: over his brown coat a wide-skirted fox-skin pelisse, and his hands in fur linel gloves reaching to his elbows some big-paunched sheriff or burgo master a handsome valise fastened on the crouprof his vigorous steed. In short, unmis takably a Dersonatre i . "Eh, eh, my lads," he said, withdrawing ont i iuh great lianas irom mufflers linns: to his rhingrave, "no dubt,we are going to Heidel &cr to play pfcr music?" j Wilfred looked keenly askance at thff travel- t-.w. .1 . ; rr . , , ,.

Wilfred, taking Jonsrer strides than Itefon, waikeu on without answorimr- in,i T i that the traveller had exactly the lo-.,k of a larre t v-.v suumiiioai irom his head, half-clos ed eye-lids, frizzled moustaches, and soft and .jiannrny manner. -iiy dear frtw, Am cof.rr.....-.fi-wivr me frankly; 'you will do well to return the way you have come." j . , C r W!hy. rannsitsur?" C'. The illustrious Maestro Pimenti. of Nvara. lias announced a Christmas concert at Heidel berg; all the town is going to it, and you will not earn a kreuizer." 4 But turning ill-temperedly, Wilfred replied: "We SCMril VOlir mm-strii ami sill llu.

"Aha!" said the other, "is it so, indeed?" ' s uyhiiU tell yuais the truth.? cried Wilfred, ClUlughfi.j)4jK-acmakuix gamejofjthei.travel ler, who followed us at a slow trot. He went on in this manner for more than half a league in silence. Suddenly the unknown . said to us sharply : . "Whatever your merit may be, take your selves back to the Black Forest.
