DV II. l'EMC?\X. -?:6:? t s Beyond nil other lnountains'of tlio Blocks berg range, tin: wild solitudes of the lltulz have been, from .time immemorial, supposed to be the haunts of ghosfs. elfins and. spectres. The inhabitants of this neighborhood are, for the most part, miners and .woodsmen, and are naturally imbued with the local superstition. On lnany occasions they have attributed to the p.^wer of the elfins, those natural phenomena wliicb *hoy have experienced during their sub terranean labors. The belief also provails. that ;* tutelary dei.uon, of a most savage appearance, a\,-?Rs the gloomy forests of the IIartz, co lossal in im,'0*!1/- OWdiiiS head appeared crowned With oak leaves ; nlC'1 hia t,,orc"*? bulin<1 a fiery belt, and ip his hanJ ff CArrics S|? :T rooted pibo tree. Long ago this demon used to hold frequent communications 'withihe pooplo in that dis trict; he usod ofton to meddle, in their affairs, rather for the purpose of doing them good than'of Injuring them.- Hut it was observed that'his kindness generally turned unhappily to those who wcro tho recipients of it. . The clergymen, in long sermons, frequently ex horted their flocks to cease holding any eoui munictdioii with him. It happened that on one. day, the preacher mounted the ptilpit in the church of Margenbrodt, for the purpose of expatiating on the pcrverify of the inhabi tants, in still continuing to communicate with fairies, and goblins and demons, but in particu lar with him of tho Hartz. These supersti tious people laughed at the zeal with Which their venerable pastor held forth upon this point. At last the heat of his discourse aug mented in proportion to the spirit of opposition which he met; but tho congregation could not. suffer that a demote who had been so peacea ble for hundred** of yours, should bo compared to Astaroh and Ih-idzobub. Tho fear. also, of tie demon punishing them for listening to such .sermons, wns added to-the interest which they felt in him." "A monkish babbler like him," they cried, ??can say what he pleases with impunity ; but we, the inhabitants of this country, who re main at tho niorcy of this insulted demon, wo will bo the victims of his just itidignntion. The poasants did. not long rest fa in their ro solTtm'ent; peltihg him with'stones, they hunted the poor priest out of the parish, telling him to go and preach to others against domous. As thrc? young ? iharconlTburnors?who had taken a part, in tho pursuit of tho priest?were returning home to thoit cottage, tho conversa tion naturally turned upon .the domoq of tho Hajrtz, aud dn their pastor's sermon. Max and George .Waldcck, agreeing that the priest's language was indiscreet, maintained, neverthe less, that it was very dangerous to have the slightest coiuinuuicatioii with the demon, bo cause he was wicked, capricious and powerful, and all thos'o who had any communication with him always experienced misfortune from it. Had no not given to the gallant Chcvalior Sy bprt, the fatuous black stcod, with which he conquered all his competitors at. the graud tournament in Bremen ? Yes, nut that courser plunged with him down a frightful . precipice, from which man or- liorsc has never con e out. Did he not impart to Diliiic Gertrude Trodden .sonic curious secrets, which wore soon after the cause of her being burned as a sorceress, by the command of the grand criminal judge of lue electorate ? But these proofs and many others, which George and Mux related of the evil conse quences attendant on the gift* of tho elfin, made no impression on Martin Waldcck. Mur tiuwus young, d.rring and rash, and smiled at the timidity of his brothers. ""Cease.'* IMS said, ;:all this folly; the demon is a good and kind one. lie'lives among us as a simple peasant; he frequents4ho rocks and solitudes of the mountains, sometimes as a hunter, and other times as a shepherd. But how can this demon be so malicious as yottsaj ? "What power can be have over mortals, who make use of his -gilts without submitting them selves ?'to'llis will? The benefits and gifts of the spirit of the Hartz cannot injure us; it is the bad use which we- make of ihoin, that docs.'' , ' . . Max replied, that riches, badly acquired, could never profit their possessor. Martin de clared, positively, that the possession, of all the treasures in the Haiti Mountains would not be capable of qlfccting the least change in his habit, manners or character. This conversation lasted until the brothers reached their lowly hut, which was situated on a height, in the neighborhood of Brockcnbcig. They then, according to custom, arranged the watches for the uight; for one of the brothers kept gourd, .while .the two others slept. In fact, tht^m^ttg^Mfib? charcoal repuireT a continual "attention. ? Max. "Waldcck, the eldest brother, had watched about an hour, when he saw, .suddenly, I upon the borders of the swam]) opposite to the j door of his cottage, an immense fire, around i which numerous figures danced iu the most grotesque attitudes. Max's first thought was to call (leorge; but he could not awaken him' without Martin hearing. So upon reflection, in spite of the terror with which ibis singular phantom filled him,-he resolved to watch alone. Besides, the strange-fire w.is gradually disap pearing, and be was then quite free from fear. George did not delay in relieving Max, who retired to bed without saying anything. The vast lire again filled the valley, and the same phantoms surrounded and danced through the (lames. George was. more courageous thau 'Max, and resolved to cross the stream, which separated hini from the marsh. Climbing up an cmiiiCUCQ, he approached near to where, the lire was burning. Among the elfins that bustled about the' flames, he recognized the giant, covered with hair and armed' With a pine tree-: in a word, it was the demon.of the Hartz, i r?;ydi as the oly shepherds had described to him. ? Trcmblintr 7. 'th fear, he commenced reciting the psaim commune::^ with ''Let all the angels praise thee, O LoruT ?hieb V;*s looked on, in that country, as a sovcTeib"u prcsc:faUvo against the influence of bad spirits, lie il'incd j his eyes again towards where the fire had been burning, but all had disappeared. The valley was no longer illuminated; but by the pale rays of the incon, George, iu great terror, directed his course to the place of this extraordinary scene, but be found iio trace of fire on the heath ; neither the moss nor wild flowers were scorched or faded?the branches of the oak which had tippest red enveloped in flames, were wet with the night dew. George returned to the hut, and reasoning the same way as Max, resolved to say nothing of wlurt i. : had seen, as hd'earcd to awaken the curiosity of Mar tin. * The night was far advanced when Martin's .watch came.on, and when well awake, his first caro was to examine the furnace. Ho saw, to his great astonishment, that George had not attended to it, and that the fire was out?*;ve ?know already why. Very much annoyed, lie set about lighting it, but it. was useless. It became serious, for the poor fellows risked the loss of their market next day. Mortified by this accident. Martin had just decided to a waken his brothers, when a gleam of brilliant light suddenly crossed the windows of the cot tage. His first idea was, that the Muhclohau scrs, his rivals in trado had encroached upon his boundaries, and hail come to steal his wood. But a moment's obsorvatioh was sufficient to convince him that' the spectacle, which was preaeutcd to his view, wait a supernatural phe nomenon. '?Be these ino'n or demons," said he, "I will go and ask a firebrand from them, to light my fire;" Saying these words,-he took his wild boar lauce and advanced towards tho phan toms.... .. . .:? ... j .. ..f.. t j Hp soon crossod tho stream, climbed the hill, and approached sufficiently near this elfin gathering to discern all the peculiarities of the demon of tho Hartz. For the first/ time in his life, he shuddered with fear* but sum moning up immediately his wavering coUrage, he advanced firmly towards the fire. At eaoh step .he'took, the figures became more wild and extravagant in their movements. In a mo ment ho was in tho midst of them They re ceived him with manifestations of applause, and their tumultuous, laughter stung his very cam. ??Who are you VI cried* ?lc giant, in a voice of thunder, and frowning gloomily. - "flartin Waldeck, a charcoal burner," he replied ;? "and who are you; yourself?" "Tho king ot chaos and of mines," replied. the^peCtre; "but why have you dared to pene trate our mesteries ?" l% canic here to get a fire-brand, in order to liglit my fire," "Waldeck answered boldly. '*W"nat are the mysteries which you celebrate bore?" . . !.\*Tbe marriage of Hcrnaes and the black dragon; but take the fire-brand if you wish, nncbdopart. for no mortal can witness our fes tivities with impunity." Martin then stuck the point of his lance in a large log. and regained bis hut. amid the noise of tho mocking laughter of the phantoms. In snitpof his terror, his first step was to relight the furnace, by means of the burning log, wbieh.be carried. Strange to say. in spite of all jthc efforts which ho made, this billet, at first-all on fire, went out without kindling the other wood. Martin Was excessively chagrined at Ulis j' the fire st ill burned on the hill, but thdSC who bad surrounded it had disappeared. Waldeck thought that the spectre was but trifling with him. He resolved to undertake a new adventure, and set out on his way to the http He nrrived, and without encountering anjfjppposiCion, he seized a second log of wood, iuiu^pArried it off us he did the first; but still \v5Uiotlt being able to kindle bis fire. ? The ease wjrn*w*hieh he obtained the firat.two. brands, increased his boldness, and be returned for the third time and carried away a great flaming billet. He had not gone far, when In; heard the voice of the elfin crying aloud to him, not, on any account, to have the temerity to ven ture back again. Tho efforts which Martin made\ to light his furnace with his last fire brand, were just as useless as the preceding. Exhausted with fatigue, hp threw himself on his bed of leaves, fully determined to inform bis brothers, the next day. of his strange ad ventures. Morning had scarcely appeared, when he was awakened from a profound sleep, by loud cries of joy and surprise. The first thing which Max and George did on rising, was to look at the condition of their furnace. While racking the cinders, they found three nietalic lumps, which they knew to be pure gold. Their joy was n little diminished, however, when Martin told them by what means he had become master of it. The others could not re sist the temptation of partaking in the pros perity of their brother. Martin Waldcck soon took the title of head of the family. He bought lands and woods, and bad a splendid mansion erected, and also be obiaincd letters of nobility, to the great scandal and disgust of the ancient nobles. His courage in war enabled bint to brave, tit all times, the jealousy which his sudden elevation. anJ iuc arrogance 0I" nM manners, excited. Hut the evii Inclinations which poverty bad re pressed, now developed themselves. In fine. Wndleok rendered himself odious, not only to the nobles, but also to his inferiors, who sup ported, with pain, the insolence of a man who bad sprung from the very dregs of the people. The manner in which be bad been enriched was heretofore a profound secret, but by some chance it bad transpired, and already the cler gy threatened him as a sorcerer. Surrounded by enemies, ami tormented on all sides. Martin Waldcck. or rather Huron Waldcck, soon re gretted his youthful poverty and contentment, for envy and hntred were around him every where. His courage never abandoned him at any time ; in fact, on the contrary, ho appeared to court danger. Hut an unforeseen event hastened his fall. The reigning Buke id' Brunswick having in vited, by proclamation, all the Gorman noblesse. to a solemn tournament, Martin Waldeck, clothed in brilliant armor, accompanied by his two brothers, and attended by a superb cortege, had the insolence to appear in the midst of the cavaliers of the province, and demanded per mission to enter the lists. This was looked on as the height of presumption. A thousand voices cried out : "We will not let this char coal burner into our rank?. Entlamed with passion, Martin drew his sword, and overthrew the herald-at-arms, who endeavored to prevent his cntorihg the lists. Swords were raised on all sides to aVenge, a ci imc at that time considered the most atrocious except high treson. Waldcck defended himself to desperation, but he was made prisoner, ami condemned, by the judge of the; tournoy, to have?according to custom?his right arm cut off,, to lose his titles of nobility, .hud to bo driv en ignominiousiy from tho city. They des poiled him of his armor, and having under-: gone his punishment, he was* delivered up to the populace, who pursued him, heaping me naces, outrages and insults on his devoted head. It was with the greatest difficulty that the brothers could drag him forth from the'hands of the mob ; they had' left him for.dead. He lost so much blood,.and was in such .a misera ble condition, that it was necessary to place, him in a cart, aud under him they put some straw. Thus the Wadlecks fled. Scarcely bad they reached the frontiers of their native country, when they perceived in a hollow road, situated between two mountains, an old man, who advanced to meet them. But shortly after, the limbs and Size of this man in-, creased iu bulk ; his cloak fell from his shoul ders, and his pilgrim's staff was metamorphosed into an enormous pine. Ina word,, the .De mon of the Hart* was presented to their eyes in all bis frightful apparel. -When he was op posite to the cart in which the sick man lay, he asked of him, with an. atrocious giin, if his fire-brands had kindled his furnace. Martin was indignant at these- words, but could scarce ly raise himself.. He pointed towards .the spectre with a niena.ciug gesture;' but he dis appeared, uttering a loud mocking laugh, leav ing the unfortunate Waldcck to struggle with death. Max and George, being terrified, di rected their course towards the- towers of "a neighboring convent, wh;:h olcvated their tops, above the. dark pine forest by which they were surrounded. At that place they were charita bly received by a monk with a long, venerable .beard, and iu naked feet. Martin.-lived just' long enough to.make a confession'of his life, and to receive absolution from the hands of tho very priest, whom long ago he had pelted with stones in the village of Margenbrpdt. Jlis tTirce years of prosperity mysteriously corres ponded with the three visits whichlie had made to the elfin's hill. The body of Waldcck was interred within the convent, and his two brothers assumed the habit of the order. Both tho minors and the woodsmen shun, even to this day, tho rulus of the Chateau dn Waldcck, for they suppose that it has become tho resort- of olfins and evil spirits. M I S 0 E L Ii A N E O IT S .
