FREDERICK, MD. Oct. 1e.

 A friend, upon whose accuracy and veraci< ty we have the most perfect reliance, vouches for the truth of the following narrative: ,,

 The Deuil zvith fzUo 7'aiLs.-We have all heard of Le DfabEe BoiteuE, but it was re- served to this age, and to the city of Frede- rick, to discover the Devil with two Tails On Thursday night, caravan of wild beasts arrived in this place, and put up at one of the hotels. Among them there chaDced to be a huge elephant, which being too largeto enter any ordinary stable, it was found necessary to accommodate in large and close carriageE house. This, it seems, had been previously taken possession of as lodging for night, by hale, two-fsted negro from the mountain, who was employed in landing timber to the Railroad, and who had never seen, or proba- bly, heard of, an elephant before III his lfe.- He was fast alseep when his roommate was ushered in, and did not awake until, as was his custom, at the first dawn of the morning. Hearing a rustling in the straw, he turned and looked, and rubbing his eyes and looked a. gain, until the pupils dilated almost to burst ing "a, | ssHence, horrible showed, unreal mockery, hepee"

 What could it be! The devil to a ccrtaintyF The huge mass moved and approached him, when To! a tail at both ends put all doubts to

 flight, and revealed his Satanic Majesty in alf the torrors of his reputed attributes. Witr one despairing spasmodic leap, the alright ed wagoner I,shed against the door-it was locked-apS there Was no possible way of es1 cape. F screamed for help; he groaned in

 agop,. Worse than that of Sancho in the pit,

 vss che predcara ent of.he nnioe-oble African for no knd master was within hearing to afford him protection. The "Devi with two rt,ils" stood over him, and wrapped his soft

 and flexible fore-tail around his neck, and ,hisked it in his face-and then he ''grinned horribly a ghastly smile" In vain he be-

 ought him to have mercy-to spare him btte while longer. The Devil with two tails needed net his supplication-but kept smell- ng and feeling him, and brandishing his tail, (which he now extended and contracted, until, in the imagination of the negro, there was nothing SC distant or so near as to be secure from it. The louder he screamed the more the devil felt him. Shrunk up with the least possible dimensions in corner of the room, he awaited, in state of alarm, bordering on distraction, the issue of his horrible adventure. The keepers ofthis tormentor at length came to his relief, aid released him from the jaws of the enemy. After his liberation, he had severe chill of several hours duration, accom- panied by transient Arrangement. Having now recovered not only his health but his courage, he swears "By ginny he was not so much skeered at his bgness-but that tar nal tail at each eend!"
