THE VAMPIRE.

'Ye?,DKCIDEDLY !" said the Marquis, look ing coiirnyeouslj at the mocking circle that surrounded him. " I believe in magnetism, sorcerers, necromancers, msgic. spiritism, chiromancy, phrenology, vampirism, andlbe evil eye. The Marquis Ange-Gontran do Rouvre wns 35 v«ars of ape. He had a pale com plexion, fine features, a woman's hands aud lent, a slender waist, a fine name and a princely fortune. Ho enjoyed at the same time tbo reputation of being witty and eccontfic.

After his profession of faith the Marquis looked around him as if to seek a champion -an adverse champion. He found none, and continued :

"Superstition is my element. I was born on a Friday, the thirteenth of the month of March. It is a fatality ; every artless belief tinds its echo in me, and that which absolves me is, that alter successive observations I have come to convince myself that the strong minds are really the weak minds. "At any rate," ibterrupted the member of th£ Institute, " you do not believe in vam pirps." ",I have seen some too," said Atthur Lan gelerre, smiling gracefully ; " 1 have seen some at the Ambigu in a piece by Antony lieraud, or by somebody else. It was au English clown, who was painted in a most terrible and fantastic fashion. I can see him still with his wbitc face, enveloped in a blond-stained Bhroud. Did your vampire resemble that one, Marquis?'1 " Not at all," said Gontran. "My vam piro was dret-se 1 as you and I are ; he spoke French as you write it, sir (the member of the Institute bowed), and he was really a charming man. But why should I not tell you the whole story ?' " I was Wavulliiig on the banks of the Danube, two years ago. I was travelling uluuc. Acoinpanion is sometimes embarrass ing. For.adventurer it is better to be alone. These good people do not look upon astranger agan enemy, lmadepresents ofmy amulets and liquor, and in exchange I used to ask for f oroe story, and I never had to press. "It was thus that I had been received with open heart by Viecz Jiaglanovich, a lich farmer, loyal,-jovial, a free laughter and a free dmker, who used to sing me songs watered by frequent libations, aud who used to say to me, pointiug to his daughter Helen : " ' Sbo is the pearl and rose of I'iCiteg. It is because she has a fresh face and bloom ing health that I can say to you with a gay mouth : My.i little father hero is a good journey 'to you i' I remained two or three days with Viecz Uuglanovich. At the end of that time the rain-was falling.

" ' We shall have it for a IODg time, now,' said my host, 'and yon cannot resume your journey during such weather,' I thanked Baglanovich, and told him that I would remain iv hi* dwelling until the re turn of the sunbeams.

" ' May the mnbeams never return, then,' said my host gaily, 'and may thin infernal weather continue for lons months.* " That very evening as we were at table Micro came a brusque knock at the door. We miw enter a man dressed in the French fashion, wrapped up in a large black mantle, which win all wet and dapping over his travelling boot*. " ' Will you not grant me hospitality!' he said, in a metallic voice which made me shudder, I will pay for it royally.' " ' Come in," said Viecz Bvglanovicb, ' drink, eat and rest yourself. Sleep under my roof as if you were under your own ; you are at homo. But, by St. Hyacinth,' be added, , a man must be the devil himself to put foot out of doors in such a deluge.' "The stranger approached the fire and held, out kin feet ami bands to the flame. Ho was pale, with long black hair, and ncqulinc nose, a brusque prolile, tbin lips ; but what struck me most in him were his hands—long, thin, delicate, n!moU always motionless hands, white and transparent as wax. "He said nothiug. I went up to him and asked if he was French. " 'Yes,' he replied. I turned round and I saw Helen with her eyes dilated and fixed upon .the stranger. At tlint moment Bnglanovich rose. "' You most need rest," he said to his new guest. Come 1' " The straujier ro;e, saluted me politely and went out fixing a glance npon Helen. I paw her become pale ; she went and huddled herself up in a corner and I heard her weeping. " The stranger remained ten days in the house of Viecz Buglanovich, and from day to day Ellen became whiter and whiter, her body more and more immaterialised and her hands resembled the bloodless hands of the stranger. In short one morning she was found dead in her bed. ' Wild with grief, tin father threw him self into my.arms,, appealing to death and cursing God. ,:,. '" No! no X i said to him ' Vieczßag lanovicb, do not die. Before yon go to join Ellen, Viecz Hagluuovicu, think that you must avenge her.' "' Avenge her !' ho said, with the roar of a lion, '"Do yon not see,' I continued,' that she has been killed by a vampire';' "The olrlMorla<jue boucdrd like a jackal and sprang to his arms, hung orer the chimney. '"Yes, he said, 'the stranger 1 the stranger !' "And with one bound he rushed to the chamber of the man. with the waxen hands. The strnnger was not there. Viecz Bag liiaovich ran all over the village crying out for the murderer of bis child. A beggar man, a player on the gnzla, bad seen the stranger that very morning hieing away to wards Vorgracz. Vietci; Baglanovich saddled his horse, He arrived at Vorgracz . the same evening. The stranger had just : left the village. I They showed Viecz Bag : lanovich the road that the man had taken. Viecz Baglanovich caught him up on the road from. Vorgracz and Kasno. He seized him by the throat and plunged his poniard into bis neck. The next day Viecz was at Prestag, and was present at the iuneral of his daughter. In the evening we were both before the empty hearth. The wind was whistling outside and the rain falling. "Suddenly there, was a knock at the door. It was I who opened this time, and I drew back terrified. . Upon my honor we tben saw enter the man with .the waxen hands, pale, stiff as a corpse, with a gaping wound in his throat, but a smile on his lips, a calm and mocking smile. He said nothing. : He went straight to Viecz Bag lanovich, who watched him with a wild air ; he showed him his |fresh wonnd and went out, Then Baglanovich uttered a cry of rage and rushed out, but he saw nothing bat the profound darkness. ' "' To-morrow,' he said as he came in. ' I will go n long the Kanso road and demand the bedy. I had forgotten that; I will drive a stake through its heart. The vampire then will not return.'" " 1 he body of the stranger had been fonnd on the road by some shepherds and carried to a neighbouring farm. It was thither that Viecz Baglanovich was taken. 111 It is the body-of a vampire !"«nid the father. 'He has killed my daughter.' " He took a stake, sharpened like a. lance, and plunged it into the btenst of the corpse, The vampire then opened his eyes ; a flood of blood spurttd from his mouth, and livid Baglanovich turned towards the kneeling shepherds : " t My. children, this one is smitten with impotence. God wishes us to pray for the hangman and forhis victim. Pray for Helen and.pray for him.' " At the moment when Gontram de Rouvre was just finishing his story by adding that .Viecz Baglanovich died of grief, the door of the saloon was opened and the servant an nounced Mr Victor de Bermont. A tall young man was seen to enter, pale, and dressed all in black, and as Mine. De Rigny went forward to greet the new comer, Gontran uttered aery and became pale as a corpse. Mr De Bermont looked at him with astonishment, and then saluted him politely. " Madame est servie,!" said the lackey, Gontran hastened to Mine. De Rigny. " Countess," he said, in a trembling voice, "do you know that man?" "I nm his godmother. Where do you come from, Marquis ?" "Ah !I am mad !" said Gontran. "Do you: know whom I thought I recognised in him ?" " No."

"Who?" said Louise advancing. " The man with the waxen hands I"

Tho company passed into the dining-room, where the most magnificent dinner was .served. Victor de Bermout had taken Mine. De Rigny's arm. At table he sat directly opposite Mr De Kouvro and Louise. Gon. tran could not keep his eyes off Mr Do Ber mont.

" How is it," he asked Louise, "thatlhave |i never before seen Mr De Bermont at your ; mother's house '!

"He was in Germany when you were pre sented to us ; he has only arrivedl in Paris within the last few days."

In truth, Mr De Bermont had something strange about him. Thin and pale, his face ; was framed in loDg black hair, slightly ciirl • ing ; hia straight nose curled over a thin | mouth.-without mustache?. A sort of nervous tic contracted this white face from timo to time, and his sharp, pearly teeth convulsively bit his lip on which there was almost inces santly a drop of blood. "It is he i" it ia he!" thought Mr De Kouvre, as he kept examining him, and his eyea rested on Mr De Bermont's hand>. They were white, delicate and graceful as the haiiiUof a woman. _

Mme. De Rigny was just talking to <Mf De Bermont. Gontran felt himself start as 4 he heard the metallid riSff oFliis voice. He shuddered and fiied on Mr De Bc-rmont Kit eyes, suddenly dilated with a sort of ecstatic 9 expression of hate. ; The talk at that moment turned 'upoU'* travel?, adventures, Chinese, Aztec*. Mr*"' De Kbuvre seized the opportunity to.ialfcJy about the Danube and to embarrass Mr Da> Bermont, the vampire of Prestag. " But have I not bad the pleasure of meet ing yon in thoae parts !". Mr De Bermont smiled and replied tW' the Marquis was mistaken, &nd that [us >; travels had been bounded by the Alps and ' the Pyrenees ; that he had been along d le ' banks of tbe Khine, and that once he had passed through London, though so kurritdlv ! that he had not had time to see the Crowrr diamonds at the Tower. Gontran could hardly contain TiimseJl' le sang-froid of Mr De Bermont.wa» tod much for him. He did not doubt for; » moment but that Mr Deßermontwas the'i man whom he had already met. Ho re marked soon tnalVictor'sg'a-.ce becamejfix'ea' upon .Mile. De Kigny, who seemed to he? fascinated by it, and whodidnot remote her'1 eyes from the pale face of the' young" jftupi whom Uontran saw amile with anairifflf wicked triumph. " Oh ! that man," he said ; Ihfttehujl'i* But who is he? The godson of MmeViV'1 Kigny ? They never spoka to me aßouf Ma,, Eh INo 1 a thousand fimes lib; it h fti' murderer of Helen ; Viecz Baglanovick too' would recocnize him !" And he thought tbat.^Mr, Determent had* lookc 1 at Mile. De Rigny as formerly hefiS' I looked at Helen. This thought made the'i blood mount to Mr De Bouwe's' "heart*-! be returned brusquely to the dining-room.'', This time, by a singular contrast, theface ■ of Mr De Bermont appeared to him; quite ' peaceful and prepossessing. The pale youigl man was at that moment absorbed In the' dissection of the wing of a partridge, and he' did not deign to look at his enemy, '.Bat** Mile. De Kigny did nottake her eye* «*, him. A man with such white hands, win looked at Louise so elpquently, who ateso! greedily, could be uothinj; but a vampire. Mr De Ronvre returned to hishbrne thpr-',1 ougbly persuaded that Providence, in nlacine him face to face with the vamDireof Presto,' had assigned him an important rOle ; 'that! ■ namely, of delivering the De Rigny familyf from such a monster. Gontrau passed a very agitated dieml'* In the morning he was worn ouUndiinai' He rose almost with pain and hurried offtp'! boo the Countess and told her frankly and' clearly what he thought of Mr Deßerinori?'" " I beseech you, Madame, remove MjcjSa Bermpntfrom your house. " SupersutiqiOt, folly, 1 believe that that man bringsjnSk, fortune with him. He is not the strankir of Prestag—l admit that—butLe» tfi^Mjfi'? eye, the jettatoreof Paris. It is,'nptfej»ftj' killed HelcD, I admit, but it is lie who wil kill Louise !" * . ' ..!/, :"■;'■ "Indeed, Marquis," said the. : CounteM!f becoming pale in turn, " think wha^.yj^ are saying. £uch a supposition is absorb fc it i« a calumny, Mr De Rouvre." a *, j?ffl "Say that it is cowardice 1" . eried y tfie ( Marquis. " But I love Louise. Is fifie nk my fiancee? Ob, I will save her,.W perhapsl will save her in spite of sML That Mr De Bermont, if it be needfnl,.! wilt kill him !' ! j wfu£| " You are really mad, Mr De Roiiyi^ said the Countess. "Do you not know,'. she added, laughingly, " that vampire* cannot be killed?" , . ,; »imt " yes,"replied coldly MrDeßouyje.,^l,' you tear out their heart, burn it, and scatter the dust to tbe four winds." " That very evening Gontran learnt that Mr De Bermont lived in tbe Rue Rodier. iv an "entresor'starDgelyfurnished, astheJobjr porter said; that he came home regularly at midnight and never lef this homo beforenoon; and, finally, that he had a German, servant named Order. He first of all thought of proroking him to a duel, but that was topi vulgar a way to kill a vampire./ .., : , | His visits to the Hotel De Rigny became rarer. He remarked that tbe Countess^re ceived him with a sort of coldness., When he spoke of marriage one day, Mine.l)e liiL'ny made an evasive answer, lie insisted «n<l asked her to fix a date. Mme. De Riguy roplie 1 that Louise wag very nnnelL, ■• uf course she is 1" said the Mur<juis,_iiis eyes darting fire, " It is that wretch I it ii he !" ' .-■-■-.■ ii " Of whom are you speakiug?" said tho Countess. " I will kill him,*' said Mr De. Rouvie, without replying. - ;i ; ... He left Mme. De Kigny entirely convinced of his madness. , . ■■-!,. j.:,; Gonrran returned to his home in a high state of excitement. Instinctively he glanced lirst of all at a panoply that adorned tho. wall of his cabinet Suddenly he seized. : i little Spanish poniard, detached it from ttw wall, and examined it for a long time. , ' The next day he rang at Victor's door Gerder opened ; the valet was alonei £,L' " How much must I give you to let me ir here to-morrow, after midnight ?" tau Gontran.

Lorno street, Auckland, l!th April, 1880. . Sir,—l have Deen a sufferer from rheumatism for too lost twenty years in the old country. Through advice I received from medloal men I emigrated to New Zealand as being a warmer ul mate, and more adapted for the cure' of my complaint For the Jast twolve months I have suffered moat frightful agones from the pains in a'l my joints. What made my oaeo worse ] caught a severe cold. On the cold subsiding it left an asthma, which brought on dropsy; and uiiU'ering under these maladies I tried all moJicnl aid, and was five months in the District Hospital, Auckland, and neither my wife nor myself ever thought I would leave it alive, as 1 gra-lually got worse, having pains and large swellings in my kneejoints, and arms, shoulders, and hands distorted. My w^fehearing of yonr and soolng your testimonials in the newspapers from parties, which live around us, I made' enquiries from several who had been under your treatment, who stated themselves that you cured them when their case was snpposed to be hopeless. I determined to see you at all hazards, and was helped to your p'oce by my wife on sticks. Only fire months under your oare, «nd the whole Of my complaints have disappeared.and am now able to follow my dallr avocation.; Thanks to a merciful Providence that I was brought under the Influence of your medicine, and wishing that you may bo long spared to.bo able to administer your valuable Restorer to other sufferings as you have done to n;e.—Yours faiUifally, SAMUEL FIELD.

I was for woekß unable to attend to by business; I was b n il or t he treat ment of a medical man. and tried all kinds of remedies, but received no relief; in fact I wat gradually getiing worse. A friend recommended mo to try your Blood mixture, but yon being a stranger to me, and not know ing tho quality of your m'xturo, I was sceptical about it. My friend called again, aid again recommended mo to you, and from what he said I wßsiuduoid to callonyonrago' ts. Messrs Hamilton Bros., and get, a bottle of your Restorer, and I am wlad to say that, after taking Six bottle?. I was able to attend to my business, and am now quite well. Shou'd any friends if mine at any time bo Buffering wilh Rhoimati'm, Gout, fc'cia icn, etc., I will most certainly re commend them to take your Blood Hestorer.— lam. Sir, yours truly, N.
