HOW THE DEVIL BECAME LANE
IND HUMPBACKED.

a. This curious "bit O. written is from Il
story by Victor Hugo, entitled "The handsome
pecopin." 1t is we'll translated by Miss Gould,
for the New World.
The burthen of the story is love and disap-
poin'ment-a pair of words that, people think,
handsome Peeopin loved the beautiful Bal
dour, and the beautiful Baldour loved the
handsome Pecopin. Both were noble. The
day previous to the marriage, Pecopin was
encountered, while hunting, by the Count-pal-
atine, who, conceiving an attachment for him,
took him to court, and sent him on a mission
to the Duke of Burgundy. Thence he was
sent to the King of France, thence to the Mi
ramolin Of Grenada, thence TO the Caliph of
Bagdad, and thence to the Sultan-always on
missions Of great importance and trust. But
assured her on all occasions of his anxiety to
return. While at the court of the Sultan, a
disagrecable adventure arrived to Pecopin.
The ~favoritc Sultana saw, and loved him but

sent him an amulet, which, she assured him
would preserve his life and youth through all
danger and time, while he wore it on his
breast. In danger he had but to touch it
should he by any mischance lose it, that very
instant all the years he had lived would throDg
upon him. Now the Sultan, being Of a jeal-
Gus disposition, OWNED Cor thought he d.
vined) the feelings Of his sweet Saitana- for
Pecopin. Accordingly, one day, he led the
latter to a high tower ofhis palace, and pushed
him off. In falling, Pecopin touching his am
ulet, immediate ly found himself borne up,
and riding on the air, like a thing with wings.
| The first place he touched land, was on the
sand-beach described below.
AT this particular iuncture, a very disa-
rreeable and singular adventure happened to

Cathedral Of Fribourg, in Switzerland where
he is represented with sMlne's head, a crook

his shoulders Now the Devil had no lid te
his basket, and it happened that, owing to
the heavenly benevolence Of the angels many
souls escaped him. He no sooner perceived
this, than he placed a substantial cover Oh the
basket ard garnishcd it with a paddock. How

grave, after all the deceptive nostrums of the
day, prescribed by physicians, had utterly
failed, in which cases they also permanently
secured, that uniform enjoyment of health,
