THE VN IFE’S DREAM. ‘One moment Charles, one moment more!’ I exclaimed a young and beautiful woman, as she citing to the arm oi her husband, who was about leaving her presence, ‘one moment more ! Lt t me persuade you Charles, to re main home this ntgnt V •Mmy, you cannot!’ he replied, smiling al the emphasis of his own words, it is an engagement that cannot be broken!’ and he gently snuggled to disen gage himself from her embrace. He was a young man of uncommonly beautilul appear ance. His person peculiarly the woikman ship oi nature. It seemed io have been in the beauty ol those statues winch have been so fondly chisseled out in the dreams of classic age, when earth was aLke lhe throne and lhe grave of those fabled heroes whose hisiories aie eloquently wiitien on the schroll ol de p<irt«. d glory. In the manly propm turns and rounded symetry of ins form, theie was an almost imperceptabie union of beauty and strength, >he one so ideally and exquisitely harmonizing with the other, that in the gem lest movement us each limb, lhe gracefulness ot beauty mingled with and ennobled the ma jesty of strength. His lace also commanded more than ordinary observation. All its fea .ures were strongly and distinctively marked, euch one possessing rare and charaelereslic beauty, while over all was penciling a shading ot thought which strongly contrasted me beau tiful smile that now ended ms eye, and broke forth over the pale seieimy oi ins features.— ‘Charles! ’ continued the pleading wil«, as he again strove with gentleness to tree imnsell front her clasp, 1 have emiealed jou lor your own sake not io go, now let me itnploieyou now for mine !’ and she looked tenderly and affectionately imo Ins la e, as though she would temuid turn oj the slipiig atlecliuii she had always cherishod ami manifesto ! towards h.n>. For a moment he hesitated, but the up pe«l was uusuccesslul. ‘Alar,, I must g>! he exclaimed, lhe tone of voice betraying a maniemary struggle between the leelmgs tual had been appealed io and me claims of ms en gageiiiout. He was about leaving the room, when she clung to him doser and mure tender ly—Charles, do nut gv ! 1 iinveyei one more appeal to make !’ Hu mopped, but it was wiin an impatience dial inaniiested a resolve tu lul lil his engagement, no mailer wnat migh be the nature ol the appeal she was about to urge. ‘Charles!’ she cumiuued, and tne tone oi her voice became deeper and more solemn, ’1 had lust nigot a learlul and aorrmle dream!’ «iud sbaudered as she spoke. ‘Alary !’ tie ex claimed, mterupling ner, as though in pluyiul uerision of the supeislilious ieujs she was a bout to disclose, he would prevent the relation ol her dream —‘dreams are ulteuer tuu di n beholdmgs oi the past than the shadow ol a intuie destiny.

Hour after hour rolled away in misery and in silence, and yet he came not. The mid night hour arrived and still he was absent.- I'he grey mis s of the morning were gather ing over the eanh, and yet he bad not reached his home. I (l dark forebodings and in a shud- I derings that crep, in cold horror over her heart, I lhe morning hours advanced, when a carriage that was rolling rapidly along ilie street, sud denly stopped at the door ot h'-r house. She pre sed forward eagerly to the window, and as the carriage door opened, one whom she re cogmz d as a friend of her husband, descend ed its step —for a moment there was some contusion, when a figure covered with a cloak was lifted out from ihe carriage. The cloak fell off’, and as ihe eye of the wife fell upon the lifeless and blood-stam d body of her husband, ihe strings of her heart were forever broken, and she fell senseless upon the floor ! Ha Had perished by his own hi nd—in the satno night he became a gambler and suicide ! Such was die melancholy end of one, who born io adorn the high places of earth, had fallen m bis youth, never to rise again. Gift ed with a genius of no ordinary power, he had in eai ly life given promise of exceeding excel lence, but in an evil hour, having shipwrecked all his earthly fortune, he had driven with his own hand his shattered barque m.o the shore less ocean of eternity. His career had been not unlike tho triumph of a brilliant m-teor, rushing onward mr <ug.i its u irrow but high orbed pathway, dazzling lor a moment ihe be wildered sense, and iinpt i isliable gloom. Reader!—whoever iiiou an ! --whether thou dwelies. m high places of the rich, or hast thy lot m the low habitations of the poor—What ever are thy worldly honors or distinctions, whether thou art ihe child of awakening geni us in whose shadowings are shaped form ima ges of future greatness, or wheihi r'hou pass- < ■ ... ....1 ....AJ- .C... ot. numeless urowed, however bright are thy enjoytn- nts, or however darkening thy sor iows, whether tbo i art surrounded with a cir cle of those whom di-ni Invest, and by whom thou art tenderly beloved, or whether ibou aalkest on the earth friendless and estranged liotn all tfie social ch irii ies of life; whei her sunshine or storm, gladness or sorro'v, hope or despair, lie ihe portion of thy spirit s on goings; know this, that when thou turnest aside from ihe path of virtue, thou canst not fathom the depth of sin into which thou mayest sink, thou knowe-u not tho epitaph that may be written on thy grave! A GOOD JOKE- “//' music be the food of love—play on.” It was a beautiful alar light night in the mouth of May, when a romantic yenng hdy sat at her chamber window counting the stars, <>r more likelv digesting the last novel she had swallowed with all the rapacity of a girl es, eighteen, who has nothing to do but to read, and believe all the wily author says. The watchman had just bawled out “past twelve o’clock,” and the stillness of the nigh’ was on ly interrupted now and then by the footstep of some home wending spark, who readv primed with the offerings of the ruddy god, described doubtful curves along the pavement. She had solved nearly all the mysteries of the spangled heavens, revelled in its blue depth, and traced the pathways of cemets, when the soft sounds of a guitar fell upon her oar—three or four harmonious chords around her from her reverie, and found cot responding echoes in her heart. She listened, the sound came from be neath l»er window, and the easy preluding proclaimed a master hand. The guitar is u romantic instrument, and with a good voice better calculated for a serenade than any oth er. She ‘looked from her lattice,’ and in tho shadow of tiie house could family distinguish the form of a man. Imagination did the rostd —his mien was noble—and his figure com* tnanding and martial—he was perhaps a for eign count—and loved ! After gracefully pre luding, lie sung; the exact purport of the words the fair “ladle” could not • omprehend, but acre was something abou love—-sleep—mu sic— angels—and darls. Pen cannot describe what the fair damsel felt that moment, the ma gic spell had so completely woven itselfaround ier that she fell in love wiUi the noble stran g. r on account of Ins heavenly music; every ioie fell in bliss upon her ear, she scarcely . .realhe,d lest she should lose the smallest * oiind. The next night the troubadour repeated his ■ creoade —and the next the lair damsel heard m wnh a beating heart, and so completely - she wrapt up m his “minsirelsie” that oa ■ fourth night she removed her seat to tho .-ement parlor, determining to speak to the ble count if any opportunity offered. Ho me as usual—he struck his “light guitar’* d the atmosphere became glad with the me ' dy ©f his voice. Darkness concealed her ' .id the mysterious minstrel too—but she soon . trayed herself by a truant sigh which ee- her bos tc a oa.r.ect ’Then “tilenc® waj NO. 30.
