On a fine evening in the Spring of 1830, u stranger, mounted on a noble looking horse, passod slowly over the snow-while luiH'Htono road leading through the Dlack Forest. Just as the (tun was going to rest tor the day, when the gloomy shadows were begiuing to stalk, he drew rein as ho said: "Thi in lit I be near the snot, surely. i ran icarn. lie thereupon dismounted and en tered the parlor ot the inn, where lie sat dow n beside a small table. "How can I serve you, nieinhecr ?" said the landlord. "Sco to my horse outside," replied the guest carelessly, but at the same time eyeing tho landlord iron) head to toot: "ami let me have some wine Klnno will do." The landlord was turning to with draw lrom t'io stranger's presence, when lie stopped and said: "Which way, meiuheer, do you travel?" "To Nanstadil," replied tho guest. "You will rest here to-night, I sup po e," continued the landlord. "I will slay here tor two or three hours, but I must then be oil', so as to reach mv destination there in the moining. I am going to purc!:ae lumber lor the market." "And you have considerable money with you, no doubt?" asked the laud lord, innocently. "Yes, considerable," replied the guest, sipping at his wine, disinter estedly. I hen it you 11 take my advice. said the landlord, "you'll stay here till morning." "Why?" replied the stranger, look ing up cunou ly. because? whispered the landlord, looking around as if he were disclos ing a great secret, and was alraul oi being heard by somebody else, "every man that passed over the road be tween this and Naustad.t at midnight, tor the last ten veins, has been robbed cr murdered under veiy singular cir cumstances." "What were the circumstances?" asked the stranger, putting down the hi "hlSS elll' lv nml iunnrnu ." a ag.aiu. . Whv, you see, the landlord went . "i i i .nii)RifK 0:i, Willie nu npi b"v"' " table and took a seat, "1 have spoken with several who have been robbed; all I could learn lrom them is inai they remember meeting in the lono sonie part of the wood, something that looked white and ghastly, and that frightened their horses so mat they e ther ran away or threw I heir riders; thev tell a ciioniug cui,u..m. and a sort of smothering, and finally died, as tl.ev thought, but awoke in an hour or" so to find theim-selves lying by the roadside, robbed ot every thing." , , "Indeed," ejaculated the stranger looking abstr ctedly at the rafters in thouo-h he was more ;t,.i.t. unon couutina them than he was interested in the landlord's story 'ri.n'miikninirr looked in astonish Such i.ertect coolness he had unm. nnt. witnessed lor a long time "You will remain, ti n suggest ed the landlord, alter wailing somo t mm cried the stranger, starting ci trom his fit of abstraction, as though he was not sure that ho was tho per son addressed. "Oh, most certainly not; I'm going straight ahead, gnosi or no ghost, to night." Halt an hour later me suun-i u..u uuide, called V Ulieira, were t-ui o.

"I'm afiaid I cannot," replied the person addressed continuing to bold his horse until h was now nearly li-no-tli behind his companion. "My rdlv and unmanageable , . 1i v.tii will no in a inunuer Bioriu j---- p ii.Aimti I tbink lean make Lim lollow close enougu to poiuw -v road." , . . The stranger pulled up instautly. A strantre light gleamel in his eyif, while hisjland sought his breast pocket froii. which be drew something- '1 he -i ...l.. a,..

The guide heard a sharp click, and . something glean in bis compan- rih.l hand Ile seemed to uuuer Ho no sooner reached his old posi tion, however, than the stranger gave him a sharp turn to the right and then disappeared, as though he had vanish ed through the foliago of the trees that skirted the road. He heard the clatter of his horso as he galloped off. Without waiting an other instant, ho touched the horse lightly with the reins; gave him a prick with the rowels, and off the noble annual trotted in tho wake of the flying guide. The stranger's horse being much euperior to the other's the race was a short one, and terminated by the gnid . being thrown nearly lrom his saddle by a heavy hand which was laid upon his bridle, stopping him. He turned in his seat, beheld the bt ranger's face, dark and frowning, and treml led violently as he felt the smooth, cold barrel f a pistol press ed against his cheek. "This horse almost ran away with me," cried the guido, c inposing him self ns well as he could under the cir cumstances. "Yes, I know," said his companion dryly, "but mark my word, he'll bo the means of criously injuring his master's health." They both turned and cantered back to the road. When th.-y reach ed it again, and turned the heads ot their animals in tho right direction, the stranger said to the guide, in a tone which must have convinced his hearer as to his cat nesluess. "Now, friend Willielm, I hopo wo utulerstand each other for the rest of t'-e journey. You aro to continuo on ahead of me, in the right road, with out swerving either to the right or left. If I see you do anything sus picious, I will drive a brace of bullets through you without a word ot uolic.j. Now push ou." The guide had stalled as directed, but it was evident from his mutter- ... t ings that he was alarmed at some thin;' beside the action of his follower. In ti e meantime the thunder had increased its violence, and the Hashes of lighting had become frequent and more blinding. For awhile tho two horsemen rode on in silence, the gumo Keeping up lis directions to the Ict'.er, while his j, .11- .ii ..i. inenl as a cat wouiu wuiun u..-v.

"Ah 1 I'm in luck," said Jones, as ho entered, the. barbershop and found the barber reading a paper: "won't hayo to wait for my next, . and he tossed his list into a corner and seated himselt for a shave. "How is this?" said the barber, reading from a paper that marks its witty column with a blue pencil. "By George, how's this ? ''Pretty good, I take it," and ho read: ,., "Did you ever see a pump handlo anything? Did y ou vrerseo a witty cism ? Who ever saw a dog call her?" And the good barber laughed hearliljr al these seinlillatious of wit, and said that "Some or them lellera are most blamed olever." Then ho turned to the yellow fever department, and, after reading three or four dispatches, asked Jones if he thought tho scourge would reach Oil City 7 Jones said there was a possibility . that it would gel here by the middle cf tho Winter, and ho would like to bo shaved and fixed up before it ar rived. The barber said it was a torriblo thing, yawned, laid down tbe paper, and sh u Hied up to the chair. 'He ar ranged the towels about Jones' neck, felt of his beard, run his fingers through his hair, scrutinized a wart on the side ot Ins nose, turned bis lower lip down over his chin, flhd asked him it he had his tooth fixed id tho Oil llegions or in New York. Jones answered as best be could; considering that the barber still kept his lip hauled down taut. Alter examining the dental work on the tooth, which he unhesitatingly pronounced "a good job," the barber let go ot Jonelip, and went out to throw a stone at a dog that was bark ing at a cat iu the back-vard. W hen he came back Jones said be would like to be shaved as quickly as possible, ns be was in somow hat ot ft inirry. "Certainly, certainly !" said the barber, as he spread the lather over Jones' lace and began to hunt for a razor. Atler examining toveral, bo began to slap the strap with .ou.fi. UVy' set in in earnest, and that the base ball fever was about as uao as ever, etc. Giving the razor oiw piinu-w-over the side of Jones' face, he wiped off tho blade, laid it down, took up another, examined its edge, and whipped tho strap with it as before, asking Jones if he thought it would rain. Jones moved uneasily on tho stocks, and said he was sure there would be a storm, an l he w anted to get a shave and have his mouslacho waxed before tho flood came. The barber grew palo around th mouth, and bis lip quivered. "Yotf said that oco before," ho remarked curtlv. "Don'l say it again, please, of there'll be trouble. I'm a geutlf mart when dealing with a gentleman; but I know when I'm insulted, sir J" "Well, conlound it all !" exclaimed Jones, very much out of patience; "I came hero to be shaved, and not talk ed to death." "Oh I you want to be shaved, do you?" exclaimed the barber, in a rage. "You don't want to bo talked todeath, don'l you ? A barber can't open hjs month, can't he ? Oh, no! a barber is a doggoned machine, I sop pose, and must move about bis, work like a wooden Injun in frout of cigar-store.
