THE ENCHANTRESS.
Passing through Calabria last year, on
my return from Greece, I found myself near
the site of the ancient Appoilnnia, in whose
neighborhood, according to Plutarch, a
sleeping satyr was once caught, and brought
to Sylla, as he returned from the Mithrida
tic war; bulas hisinarticulate voice, paitik
mg both of the neighing of a horse, and the
bleating of a gont. prevented him from mak
ing any intelligible answer to inlerrogato
ties, the Roman spurned from him a crea |
Sure which seemed to partake more of the 1
bestial than of the human nature. As 1
caves and grottos seldom disappear, I 1
thought it not unlikely that the one in
which lids monster was discovered might ;
still exist; and on making enquiry of the pea
sants, 1 was informed that there was a large ]
subterranean opening into die rocky earth,
at about four miles distanc®, which was re *
ported to be of considerable extent; but '
no good Christian cared to visit it, because
it was haunted by an enchantress, or mo
dern Witch of Endor, who possessed the
terrific power of raising the phantoms of '
whatever dead persons might be named
by her visiters. This superstitious legend |
served to make me more anxious to investi
gate the spot. I procured a guide, with 1
whom I traversed a singularly wild and
romantic country, in the direction of the sea,
much musing whether the being I was to 1
encounter would present herself to me un- '
der the appearance of some ancient Pytho- 1
ness of the Cumaean Sibyl, the nymph Ege- ®
ria, Circe, Medea, or any other prophetess f
of the classic ages; whether she would pre c
fert’nesemblaceof Alcina,Melissa,Armida, l r
the fairy Morgana, or some of those en
chantresses, who figured in the days of 1
chivalry; or whether she might assume the J
guise got up by the Weird Sisters, and so
“hold the word of promise to my ear
to break it to my hope,”—or condescend to |
personate a vulgar witch, and resemble *
some of those old hags, who were condemn
ed to the stake to confirm the treatise on 1
witchcraft and demonology, written by his ’
most learned and sacred majesty, King
James the First.
In the midst of these meditations, we !
reached the entrance of the cave, which my
guide contemplated With a profound hon or;
and as no entreaties would prevail on him
to enter, I took a pistol in each hand, (be
ing in sooth somewhat apprehensive of |
banditti, though perfectly undismayed by '
any fear of supernatural adversaries,) and j
Hunched slowly into the mouth of the aper-
ture. ' _
• From the appearances of the interior, '
I should conjecture it to have served as a '
place of refuge for some pious hermit of the
early ages; rgde seats being hewn out of the ’
( rock, and sufficient light admitted by ton- *
Dels communicating with tire surface to
enable a person to read in any part with- J
out difficulty. Passing through a narrow (
passage at the extremity of the first porch, _
I entered a second, where, to my infinite '
amazement, 1 beheld a young and beautilif ‘
female gazing earnestly upon a Isrge book.
Her complexion was pale, and her dark hair •
patting at the top of her head, and fulling J
on each side upon her shoulders, discover
ed a high and fair forehead, with a finely (
carved brow, which seemed to be the seat <
ofintense thought. So much was she ab
sorbed in study, that site did not observe t
a4y entrance, until I intercepted the light t
which fell upon the volume; when, with- ■
aut expressing surprise or alarm, sire turn- i
?d toward me, and said with a gentle voice <
—“you are a stranger; why do you invade <
my solitude?” Simple as the question was 1
1 hardly knew what reply to make,—-and I -
stammered out, with some hesitation, that '
I had no excuse to make for my intrusion *
hut curiosity, excited by the marvellous t
stories I had heard; although I assured her t
J put no faith in the absurd rumors of her I
supernatural powers, particularly of her i
ability to raise the dead. “And why not?” J
she calmly resumed. Is not every thing
around you a miracle? Earth, sea, sky,
and all the glorious pageantry of nature
are mysteries: Is it more wonderful that
men should re-appear,than that they should
live and die* Speak: name the mortal, ei
ther of the the past or present time whom
you would wish to behold!”
Startled at the determined confidence of
her tone, which I attributed to some men
ial hallucination, rather than to any con
sciousness of supernatural power, I resolved
put her assumed magic to the proof
, * P^^" ••»'■• »■■»»» rw«m t n*Mßn
Having lately been reading Sappho’s Hymn
to Venus, as well as her celebrated ode, so
admirably translated by Ambrose Phillips,
one of those sudden associations of thought,
for which there is no accounting, suggested
■ l‘er, at that moment, to my mind; and I
| suddenly exclaimed—“ Sappho!” “Behold
' her!” said the female, and quietly resumed
her studies. Turning eagerly round, lob
served that one side of the grotto was co
vered by a black curtain, which begun
slowly to arise, but what words can ex
press my wonder, when, os the mysterious
drapery became completely unfurled, I
found myself gazing upon the Islands of
Delos, in the Egean Sea, with an intuitive
knowledge of the localities around me, and
the personages, who figured in the scene.
Ancient tradition having asserted that it
was a floating island, until Jupiter “Immo
lamque coli dedit, et conlemnere ventos,”
I at first ini gined it had again broken
from its rocky mooring?, and been wafted
up to the mouth of the cave; but a mo
merit’s observation dissipated this fancy,— .
for I seemed to be standing in the centre i
of the island, surrounded by a vast multi- I
tude of people, who were assembled to cel I
ebrate the great quinquennial feast of Apol
lo. i
Before me was the beautiful temple of i
that deity, forming the piincipal ornament i
of a ciiy, watered by the little river Inopus, )
behind which rose Mount Cynthus covered I
with laurel groves The sun had not yet I
risen, but the moon was hill; and Diana, as <
if anxious to show all honor to her brother !
deity, poured from the heavens a steady I
and resplendent light, illuminating the i
whole group of the Cyclades, and diffusing I
a rippling brightness over the Egean, i
whose waves laid themselves gently down <
upon the yellow sands with a hushing sound s
The ocean w-s covered with vessels, from |
the Saronic Sea to the Hermiac Golf on the s
west, and *rom the Icarian Sea to the Hel t
lespont on the east I—their 1 —their white sails al- t
ternately catching and loosing the moon I
beams, and their oais flashing like meteors, i
All were loaded with votaries bearing of- ‘
ferings of statues, pictures, and costly pre- 1
sents, or with visitants from various parts f
hurrying to witness this magnificient fes- t
tival. The lonians were there with their j
wives and children, the natives of Thessa- c
y, Arcadia, and Argolis; and even the r
remote Hyperboreans had freighted a bark
with the tribute of their first fruits. But
that which excited most attention was the .
splendid deputation of the Athenians in 1
five handsome vessels, headed by the sa- 71
cred galley called Paralus, which was said 0
to have been preserved from the times of a
Theseus, and during whose absence from
Athens no ciiminal could be executed. — ■
Crowding With other inhabitants to the
beach, I saw the Deliastes descend from it,
followed by the four priests of the family of
the Ceryces, who claimed Mercury for their
ancestor; the priestesses, called Deliades,
all crowned with laurel; and lastly, the
dancing-girls, attended by Phillammon,
whom Plutarch mentions as the inventor of e
the sacred dances used at Delphi. As it <J
was customary to rehearse their perform- -t
ante before-hand, they danced, as soon as
they landed, the Geranon, intended by its /
figure to represent the intricacies of the
Labyrinth. a
By the time this was concluded, a thin h
gray light had stolen over the deep blue of v
the eastern heavens, which, gradually as
suming a rosy hue, deepened at last into
those golden flushes, which fly up the sky
to announce the coming of the God of day. p
At this sight, the multitude arranged them- b
selves in order in front of the Temple,
anxiously gazing towards the quarter "
whence their deity was to arise; and as
soon as the upper surface of his fiery orb (
became visible, the whole assembled peo
pie sunk upon one knee, and streached 3
their right hands to (he east, shouted, a
“Apollo! Apollo!” The seas, inlands t
and blue concave of air, reverberated the a
sound; and I could not help imagining the <1
sun quickened his uprising at the trium
phant summons, and cast a complacent
smile on his kneeling votaries.
Musical instruments sounded n solemn
prelude, and the whole body of priests and
choristers united their voice in “Hail to
Apollo!” This was followed by an ani
mated poem from the priestesses. Then <
.he sacred band fell back on either side, to (
the sound of the dulcimer, tabret lute, and
the Phrygian pipe; and in the centre 1 per
teived her whom I had ordered to be sum- ,
moned—Sappho! The cincture that bound o
her white garments were fastened by a gol
den sun; and her black hair and laurel
wreath were attached by a similar clasp.—
Os low stature, dark complexion, and fea
tures far from beautiful, there was yet some
thing indescribably interesting, and even t
fascinating in her appearance. It exhibi
ted nothing wanton or immodest; and though
her burning blood seemed to flush through
her face and every part of her naked throat
and arms, a high and holy intelligence sat
with such a redeeming virtue upon her
brow, that I pronounced her to be a men- ‘
tal, rather than a sensual voluptuary. As
a votaress of Venus, love was her religion;
as an exalted poetess herself, she reveren
ced intellect in others: and when these feel
ings combined to produce an intense excite
ment of all her ideas and sensations, I easi
ly imagined she could abandon herself to
their beatitudes with a passionate enthusi
asm ofthc head and heart, of the senses and
affections, which might well terminate in
the ecstasy so eloquently described in her
ode. In modern times she would have
been a devotee—a fanatic—perhaps a ma
niac, or a martyr; but she would have been
cold and chaste, for the same reason that
she was susceptible and amorous—because
her religion enjoined it. Her modest and
dignified rebuke of Alcaeus, preserved by
Aristotle, and her unalterable constancy to
Phaon, for whom she finally sacrificed her
life, confirm this view of her character, and
seem to refute every imputation of gross, ftr
promiscuous attachment.
A dead silence pervaded the whole mul
titude, as she stepped forward a few paces,
and made a graceful reverence to the sun.
Methought her languid eyes at first justified
her own phrase of the Opsean upoleipseis;
but she had no sooner swept the golden
lyre she held in her hand, than they be
came animated with a holy rapture: she
(ben extended both arms to the God of
Day, and in a voice of surpassing sweet
ness began, “Twinborn of Dian!”—when,
lo! the envious eurtain suddenly foil, and I
found myself alone with the £nchantrcss of
the Cave.
“By all that is beautiful and mysterious,
disappoint me not thus,” I passionately ex
claimed; and I was rushing forward to tear
down the drapery which robbed me of this
glorious vision, when she cried, in an au
thoritive voice—“ Rash man, forbearl you
have seen my power, provoke not its exer
cise against yourself. You demanded to
see, not to hear (he poetess —have you not
been gratified?” “Oh, fully, most fully!
and if this enchanting pagean must no more
be seen, I have only to submit with grati
tude, and depart; trusting I may again be
allowed lo visit your abode, and witness
some new display of your inexplicable
power.” “That is unnecessary; you may
summon me to your presence whenever you
think fit.” Startled at an announcement
which suggested to my mind that I might
be associating with some of the manifold
incarnations of the arch fiend, I replied,
“By what name shall I invoke you, and
how shall I obtain dominion over your ma-,
gical incantations?” “You yourself!” said
the female, with a playful smile, “can best
judge of your power over me and my en
rhantments, when I inform you that my
name is —lmagination.”
Law question: —Whether a wife, by burn
ing her husband’s house, be guilty of felo
ny, is a question reserved for the decision
of the Twelve Judges in England—a woman
aged 21, having lately been capitally con
victed of that offence.— N■ Y. Cqy.
