DANCING WITH THE WRONG MAN.
The Girl Was Carried on by the I'm
cnnny Visitor.


From the Gentleman's Magazine.
Personal appeals to the devil are held by
popular belief to be at least as efIicaclous
as imprecations uttered by another. The
latter has already received illustration;
two German tales win confirm the force
OF the former. In one OF these a girl. who
was dancing at some village festival
boosted that no partner could tire her at
the sport, not even the devil himself and
she only wished he would como and try
her. Hardly had she uttered the words
when a coach drove up, out of which
stepped fine gentleman, who begged per-
mission 10 take part In the dancing. This
was no sooner granted than he accosted
the damsel already mentioned and asked
her TO be his partner for the rest of the
night. She gladly consented and danced
with him so necessarily and with such
activity that all the rest Of tho party
gazed on the pair with surprise, which
ceived that the gentleman had hoofs and
was indeed the devil himself. So the mu-
siclans were told 10 play "Begone Ye
Fiends OF Hell" which no demon can
abide. All present Joined in tho words
and so powerful was the strain in It's e.
feet that the Internal visitor. selling the
girl IN his arms, lcaped with her through
seen again.
Tho other story r. that OF a young maid
en- Of Roasdorf. whose companions at
gathering OF girls one night were talking
about their respective lovers. wheroupon
she expressed her sorrow that she had
mono and declared herself 80 anxious to
have one that she would willingly take
tho devil N she could get nobody else. AZ
II o'clock tau gentleman entered the
room ana taking a scat beside the impa-
uent damsel. lost no time IN making love
20 her. His dress was green and tho sight
OF a hoof struck all the girls with con-
sternation. When the party broke up az
midnight tho stranger went with them 70
the top Of the "Kappel" hill. Here a sud-
den cry arose from every mouth. as the
girl who had wished for tho devil was
carried up with him into tho air, higher
ana higher, tlll they disappeared altogeth-
er, Nothing but her cap was left behind.
