Many are the arrows which Father Julius shoots at the follies and vain wishes of ordinary mortals. Prom his burning quiver I have cho- sen a shaft. but he has not only gracefully yielded the bow, but has even showed how, in spite of its length, it may be drawn without hurt to living creatures. It was just as the most vigilant cock in the village was flapping his wings, preparatory to waking the miikueite and other early risers, that Merlin, the wizard, rose to go. He had been entertained like a prince. All night he had drank the rosiest of wine, and had sung the roaringest of catches; and faithfully bum- per after bumper, and catch for catch, had Carl Todschalk responded. But Merlin must new go. though Carl assured him that a flask e€ wine yet remained. the like of which the Kaiser himself could not boast. Some other time. Merlin said, but not now. One little fa- vor, however, his guest would ask htm before he went. If there were any three things in the world Carl Todschalk desired, Merliu request- ed he would name them immediately. Carl shook his head: here was achance. But what should he chose’ he, who was the happy man ef the village with nothing to desire “Come, now, urged the wizard, ‘ throe wishes—wealth. power, fame—"’ “Nay, nay,’’ broke in Carl, ‘‘none of these for me. I'll tell you though,’ he added, brightening up, ‘‘sumetimes my old friend Bi- erhals calls to see me—to talk of days gone by, te ta y wine, and to sing some of the rare songs which be only knows. But no matter how geod the wine is, nor how much I entreat, he will go when the clock strikes ten. Now. 1 yeu could only bewitch the chair in the cor- ner, in which he only sits, so that nobody can rise from it without my permission, happy and grateful will I be.’ ; It iz granted.’ said Merlin Two wishes yetremain Choose quickly and well For the last two summer. and equeezing them till they roar with pain?” It shall be as you desire; and woe to him who shall venture within the grasp of the branches And for the last wish “I would like to live fifty years more,’ €arl The Wizard nodded, and with a great cla; ef thunder dicappeared through the fluor to attend to sume little business in China. There are many quaint and entertaining le- gends current in the village of Friedenscblaf, «where the events liappened precisely as they wre related here) about the wonderful Tree and and marvelous Chair, the chvicest of which would fill many of these columns. But, leav- ing these stories for the amusement of the good villagers, we, by the power in us vested. take a grand ng § ot fitty years, and accompanied the present history in its majestic course The fifty years rolled around, and found our Carl as hale and hearty an old man as you would encounter in a day's journey. The last day of the last year had come. It was winter. Never was seen before such a comfortable room. such a rearing fire, such a jug of punch singing mellow glees on the hob, ur such a fine eld gentleman, enjoying all these good things, a> were within the walls ef Carl Todschalk’s house on that bitter December day. As Carl lifted the jug from the fire, and poured some of the rich, bubbling liquid into a glass, a knock at the door caused him to pause for an instant ~ Dear me," he said, pouring the punch from one glass to another to cool it, ‘‘whoon earth pays me a visit on such a day as this?” A tall form, enveloped in » long black man- tle, stood in the doorway. In his right hand he held a keen, glittering sword. In his left was an hour-glase.in the top of which Carl noticed but a ee vands remained. ~ My name," said the gloomy stranger, ‘ is —Death.”” ‘* You—you—come—very suddenly,”’ stam- mered Carl. ‘Many men have told me that; doubtless many will repeat it.’” his visitor answered, seating himself in a chair. ~ Yes.”’ said Carl, into whose mind a pecu- liar thought had suddenly flashed. ~I will be ready in a moment,” he added, and then be- gn heaping wood on the fire. ~ Why do you do that ?”’ asked the stranger. It is already too hot.”’ »: It will be hotter presently, I promise you,” replied Carl, pitching on log after log, till the fire snapped and snarled and roared as though it were a pack of hungry wolves pursuing some wretched traveler. ~The fire is scorching me! Ha ' what is this?” Death was Prisoner inthe Enchanted Chair. * Lil serve you for this,” cried Death, after a fruitless attempt to release himself. * Will you?’ quoth Carl. ++ We'll see. Here, Anuchen, bring up every stick of woud from the cellar, and let Wilhelm help you. Quick '” said Let me up. » Stop'’’ roared the prisoner in the ould you roast me like a goose ?”” ot if you talk in a reasonable way. But if you threaten any more, I will make the fire still hotter. I havea small request, and if you grant it, you shall instantly be set at lib- erty.’ *- Yes, yes; but draw the chair back a little. Oh! how hot "* Carl approached and drew the chair back a few inches. This. very cautiously lest Death might eatch him and throw him into the fire. era bia othes bodily harm. * You must know,’ said Carl, ‘that though I have lived a long while. I still wish to spend a fow more years in this cottage. Now, it wouldn't make any sort of difference to you were you to let me off for—well, say ten years. “I do declare,”’ cried his listener, in a great rage, “that this is the most audacious demand I ever beard of; and before I will submit””— “Pest!” said hein the chair, “I suppose I must accede. Ten years you may have, and then—and then—we shall see.”” Well, Carl set him free, not without some in- ward trembling. But people in olden times kept their promises much better than people do now, and Carl was unharmed. One exhi- bition of temper Death did make. No sooner was he free than, taking his sword, he hacked the chair to pieces and threw them on the fire. Thig done. he departed, and left Carl once mors alone “When he comes again,’ thought Carl to himeelf, as he sipped his punch, “I shall have my affairs in order, and will follow him con- tentedly. The ten years granted to Carl under the foregoing circumstances do not seem to have been very eventful ones; for the legend passes them over in # single paragraph. to the effect that during this period Carl grew very fat. On a certain autumn day Carl was sitting in his garden taking hisease. The tree was in full bearing; and such pc ass, large, ripe;golden- hued—there were dozens and dozens of them, not one cf which need be sshamed to stand be- fore aking. Carl looked at them, and his heart was glad within him. They were his—to give awoy, to sell, to eat, to keep if he chose; then his eyes wandered from the tree over the gar- den to his snug cottage—yes, all hisown. He fell intoa reverie—a reverie pleasantly broken at fatervals by the hum of bees, the sighing of the wind in the tree tops, and the sweet child- song which Nina, Aennchen Tochterlem sang at ber wheel . “Carl!” said a voice behind him. Though it was long since Carl had heard that voice, he had not forgotten it. His heart sank. No escape'this time, he thought. “‘Has the time really come?’’ he asked “The ten years agreed u expired months ago; but being very busy, I granted you a little respite,” said Death; for it was no less a per- sonage Here was a return for Carl's shabby treat- u.cnt of him on bis former visit! Carl was over- come by his kindness. “Indeed—indeed you are too good. Would lay in my power to do anything to show m not un eful. As fate would have it, at this moment, a large pear dropped at Carl's feet. Taking it up, he offered it to hiscompanion. The latter waved him off at first; but the rich, spicy odor of the fruit reached his olfactories, and, hesi- tatingly, he took the pear and bit it to the core. “Ah!” he exclaimed, “what a delicious pear!” “Say you so?’ cried Carl. “There are loads of them to be had forthe picking. Wait but a moment, and you shall have a score. With this ladder I shall ascend the tree, only hold the ladder eo that it cannot fall.”” During this speech, the person addressed, ee the pear, stood looking hungri- ly at the fruit above him. Carl now placed the ladder and commenced ascending. But the cracking of the round warned him to desist; his weight was more than the ladder would bear. Alas! were my little Fritz here, he would run ey like any squirrel—but the ladder is so frail. I fear we must leave the fruit alone.”’ «Leave the fruit,’’ cried Death. with water- ing teeth. ‘Stuff! I myself will climb—’ “ Buc,”’ suid Carl, in great alarm, ‘did you not hear how the ladder cracked with me. Consider, sir, you may fall.”’ “Nay, my weight is not half so great as yours. Let go my arm; I will go. Hold the ladder.” Carl did not hold the ladder very carefully. He warned the climber against the broken round near the top, but no sooner was the lad- der unencumbered than he threw it on the ground and bhimeelf alongside of it, and rolled around in # perfect paroxysm of laughter. Does any reader require to be told that, for the second time. Death was in the power of Carl Todschalk ? The history, as if »shamed of the whole tranc action. gives but # fow particulars of the scene Briefly, Carl demanded and received a six months longer lease of life. The prisoner, when released, descending and departing with- out saying a word “T Know that I have acted ungenercusly,"* Carl said, “but then my affairs are in gad dis- order, and my farm would go to ruin were I to leave it now. I will set about putting things to rights this very day." Tam compelled to state that things were not put to rights by Carl. nor was the smallest at- tempt made thereat by him. When exactly five minutes of the six months extorted by Carl had expired; he commenced casting about him for some means of extending still further his allotted time; and this oceupation was hy him continued, with intervals for food and sleep, till he had devised one of the most cunning plans that had ever entered *he mind of man. Nothing equal to it for ingenuity and farsight- edness has ever been read of in books or heard from the lips of travelers. I am given to un- derstand that there was not a doubt of its suc- cers in the mind of its author. But who is it that has escaped his destiny ? On the next visit of Death, without saying a word, he strode up, and with one blow severed poor Carl’s head from his body. My children,” itis the custom of the Father Julius to say, “the story which I have just told might be a better one, and might be narrated in a better manner;" but there are few in which the moral is more palpable. Know, and profit by the knowledge, that, however often we may escape, however circumstances may favor us, however cunningly we may scheme and plot, the debt each one of us owes a certain grim creditor must, one day or another, be paid; and he who, on that day, is found ready, will be far wiser than was poor Carl Todschalk. - + mee = ANOTHER Case oF BeTRAyAL.—A case of be- trayal in Gooton, Tompkins county, N. Y., which has just come to light, is the subject of a great deal of anxiety ‘among the friends of the arties, and indignation in the community. he facts of the case are, as near as we can gather them, as follows: Something more than ayear ago,a merchant of that town, whose previous intrigues with the fair sex had ren- dered him obnoxious to a large portion of the community. made a public anton tan of religion and juined the Methodist Chureb,and succeeded in making people believe that he meant to lead a better life. His victim, the wife of a respec- table and industrious machinist, belonged to the same church, and report says that they were thrown much together at prayer mectings, so much so that it became the subject of gene- ral remark, and finally came to the ears of her husband. His suspicions were excited, but he did not believe his wife unfaithful to him, until Wednesday evening on coming home he found the house deserted, and on instituting search found the merchant and his wife together at or near a barn standing in a field some distance from the house. The outraged husband knocked the merchant down and jumped on to his face with both feet, breaking the bridge of his nose and cutting his face ina shocking manner. The merchant begged for his life, but the hus- band continued to stamp him until life was ex- tinct, when he took his faithless wife home and informed one of his neighbors of the circum- stances and that he supposed he had killed the merchant and he hed better seo toit. The next morning some of the neighbors went to the spot indicated, and found that the man had not been killed, but had come to and crawled home, as they easily found by his blood along his route home. The machinist’s wife says that she and the merchant have met clandestinely for the last six or eight months. She has been sent to her friends. The affair has made the husband insane, and be hes since made two attempts to go to the house of the merchant with the avowed intention of taking his life, but has been restrained by his friends. The merchant has been taken away from Groton and secreted in Homer or Cortland, to keep him from the vengeance of the man whose do- mestic happiness he has 1uined.—Audurn Ad- werttser. b= The experience of two prize-fighters in England, the other day, is not encoura, ing for the great conflict between Sayers and Heenan. Tt seems that a fight was to take place on the 20th March, the combatants being Bull, who has only fought twice in the prize ring, and Smith. a noted pugilist of Portsmouth. The pugilists and their backers started from Lon- don in company with a large party of friends, and went to a sequestered {er on the Essex coast, where, at ten minutes before 10 o'clock, the cap was thrown into the ring, and the pugilists commenced operations. At this mo- ment there was seen in the distance a police- man, rushing with all his might to the scene of action, followed by a large body of the force. The pugilists, frightened by this ap- parition, took to the boats, which were in readiness for them, and were making off across the water to the Kentish coast, when the: found they were followed by a fast-sailing ski belonging to the Thames Police, containing a body of the Kent and Essex forces, so that on whichever side the pugilists and their friends Janded, rout would be sure to follow. After pulling about the river for more than an hour, the pugilistic parties came to the conclusion that no chance was open to them, and they re- turned to London, in the hope that ‘they who Sght and run away may live to fight another ay.” Carout 4 Tartar —The Haskin Investigating Committee at Washi: got more than they bargained for when they overhauled Mr. Butter- worth, and were bag to withdraw some im- pertinent questions The evidence of Butterworth, on the whole, was worth for the ution about #8 much as that of Mr Weller = the celebrated case of Bardell vs. Pickwick, a perusal of which, ir Dickens's rts, might be edifying to both the lawyers and laymen on the Committee.—V.

Correspondence of The Star. PortsmovtH, April 10, 1860. Our election for Mayor came off on Saturday last, and the occasion was one of unusual anima- tion. The candidates were Mr. Grice, democrat, the present incumbent, and Mr. Nash, opposition. Mr. Grice has won for himself a host of friends by the able manner in which he has discharged the various functions of his office. Mr. Nash has acted heretofore in the capacity of magistrate, in which ition he has likewise displayed ability and judgment. Both gentlemen being very popu- lar in our midst, a close election was conidenuy expected. The opposition party were sanguine of success during the first part of the day; but du- ting the latter part it came out that Mr. G. was elected by 57 votes. During the day, the most intense excitement prevailed. Knives aud Pistols were brought into use—and some of our best citizens were com- pelled to arm themselves to protect their persons rom the band of rowdies who infested the polls. A number of fights occurred—and on one or two ith, occasions it became necessary to callon Mayor Grice. in order that many might be permitted to cast their votes. At night, a band of music was brought out and Mr. G. serenaded. Drunken people were constantly parading the streets—and we have never before seen our city wear such a look of excitement Quite a number of men have been discharged from our Navy Yard rec ently; but we trust work will soon be forthcoming to them. Our Catholic Church here is nearly completed, and will add ina great degree to the appearance of the city. Father Plunkett, the pastor, has been on a visit to neighboring cities collecting funds, &c., to pay for it when completed. ou & _MISCELLANEOUS. A MRS.
