(FiomOiicea Week-1 I could not make oat precisely what the man was, who sat by me alter dinner, smok ing, in the balcony of the little inn at Dum rocreselstein, on the Rhine. But I was sure lie was an American, lie seemed well “posted up" in ail the history and antiqui ties of Rhineland. Our conversation turn ing on the strange tales that attach to the many castles on the river-side heights —to Liebenstein and Stcmfels and the towers of the Cat, of the Mouse. “And of that ruin yonder," 1 said, as 1 pointed with the end of my cigar toTeufelfe'is, then just catching the first sight of the rising moon. “Ot that ruin yonder, dowu the stream, 1 know no legend at ail; Murray does not mention it.'* “Don’t you, indeed? —VYal, now, Ido; a tale that licks any of your old legends all to smithereens.’’ Had Ia mind so to do, I could not repeat the story in the words of the transatlantic narrator; and could I rememlicr the word; and terms of expression that gave it, in a literary point ot view, a distinctly Colum bian character, it would lie impossible to convey on paper any idea of the tricks of pronunciation and grimace which gave zest to the recital. The facts, however, in themselves, are suf ficiently remarkable. Here is the sum and substance of them. Some sis een years agfMny American friend had been sojourning, as now, at Dummercf stein. Business or pleasure, or whatever his vocation in life might be, kept him there for some days. Os all the crowd of travellers of all nations who passed up ami down the river, one party attracted more of his notice than the rest, from the simple tact of his see ing them wguin and again These consisted of an old French gentleman, his wile and daughter. Scarcely a day passed but they were to be seen walking through the street ot Dummereselsteinf* h ’TT<»tn inquiries made of a 4btn who let donkeys, it was discovered that monsieur, madame, and mademoiselle occupied a diminutive cottage at Sehwach kopfheim, and that mademoiselle was much addicted to sketching. Hour after hour she would sit id a boat moored in the river, or bn a point of vantage on the hills, and trans fer to her book by no means contemptible representations of the fair landscape round about. At this time there was sojourning at Dum mereselstein a young Englishman, who bail come with a friend to spend the vacation in “reading.’ Left by his companion alone in the tittle inn, he became by some favorine chance acquainted with the French family of the neighboring "village He fished ma darne’s poodle out of the river, or picked up ijionsieur's spectacles on theroad,or somehow cr other, never mind how, acquired the priv ilege of saluting not only monsieur and ma dame, lmt mademoiselle into the bargain.— And then all four made a long excursion to gether. And then the Englishman might bo seen more than once walking home late in the evening to Dummereselstein by the Sehwacbkopfbcitn road, and it was alleged that he had dined with the old Frenchman. On a certaiu afternoon the fair weather was broken by a very violent storm. It was all very well as far as appearances .went from within. The river, and the rocks, and the woods looked sublime enough as the rain hissed over them, and the lightning lit up their recesses. But it was very uncomfort able to eudure without. •sAs I looked out of this balcony," said the narrator, “I thought that I’d a long sight rather be in than out.. I could tuney some folks being nigh sheered by the glare and the noise. One flash came right over that old tumbledown Teufellels over there, and I reckoned it must have been pretty nigh blowed in or blowed up—what there was of it to blow. It was amazin’ grand." While the storm was at its height, and the American was congratulating himself upon being safe and dry in the coffee room of the inn, he saw the little old Frenchman and the j'oung Englishman approach 4 he same welcome asylum, both, dripping wot and half drowned in the pelting rain. “You must, of course, remain here with me,” he heard the latter say. “Mademoi selle is doubtless safe with madame. 'You must not think of returning to-nieht. Ma dame will understand how it is, and rest as sured that you ate here. I can supply you with dry clothes.’’ So the old gentleman supped at the table and hote and retired early to re=t as peace tul as possible during a temporary divorce « n.ensa e.t tlioro. And tie min rattled and splashed, and the thunder pealed, and it was clear enough that he had done very wisely not to attempt the three miles walk along the road to the Scbwachkopfbeim Ferry. The tnoruiug was cloudless and bright.— The Englishman and Frenchman appeared together at bieakfast, and were talking over the storm and the probable anxieties of ma dame and mademoiselle,- when a waller en tered with a note, which he put in the hands of the Frenchman.. As the little gentleman glanced at the superscription, he turned white, and his face fell. He tore open the envelope, read hurriedly through the letter, and led his young companion out of the room. What did it mean ? And what could lie more natural than that the narrator should pick up the fallen envelope and read the ad dress, —written thereon in a trembling fe male hand—“ Mademoiselle Niboyet, Hotel de l’Europa, DummereselsteUß' Why should this arouse marks of trepedatiou and alarm in the old fathers face? In five minutes a Noachian vehicle belonging to the inu was brought out,—the Englishman and the Frenchman jumped in, urging the driver to all possible speed, and clattered out of sight m tiie direction of Schwaehkopfheim. What had happened was, as was aitci wards discovered, ns follows : At three o’clock the previous afternoon, Mademoiselle Niboyet bad taken leave of her mother at Scinvnch kopf heini, and started to meet her father at Dummereselstein, and return thence with hina. The storm had come on. Madame Niboyet fell assured that her daughter was detained with mouseur, and that they pre ferred spending the night in Dummeieoel stein, to undertaking «n hour’s unpleasant journey in wind and wet. Adelaide, she surmised, it she had suffered from the drench ing rain, would be put to bed and tended by the kindly hostess of the Hotel .to I’Europe. So in the morning she wrote a little note to her daughter, aud dispatched with it a packet of clothes. It was at tiie sight of thfa note that Niboyet yere trembled with dread. Adelaide had left Schwaehkopfheim tin previous evening. She had never arrived at Dummereselstein. What had become of her '< Her disappearance was the cause, of course, of terrible excitement. At first it was thought that she might have sought shelter from U:e tempest iu one of the cottages that stand by the road side. But inquiry dispelled this hope On the morning before the storm she had made an agreement with Jjer father to walk to meet him in Dummerelelstcin late in the afternoon. At about three o'clock, according to Madame Miboyet, she had don ned her hat and mantle, had said, “My little mother, I shall be iu delay for my father, if 1 do not hasten myself,” and had set out with a very joyous fare and gait. Madame remarked that she had her sketch hook under her arm, and wondered at this because she would probably have no opportunity to me it. This was the last that had been seen of her. The cottagers along the road declared that they had not seen the missing girl go try : but that they had not watched the path; the storm kept them dose indoors. Messengers were sent down the river al most as far as Seven Mountains, tg> see if auv corpse had been washed on shore, or any scraps of clothing been found that might ’give indications of poor Adelaide’s late. Even had no rewards been offcreiiplie search v»kuldhave been bearty and careful, for ■ everybody had been more or less captivated by the young Frenchwoman’s ways. But in spite of money, and in spite of love, nothing was achieved except failure. Nothing could K Ibe old father trudgen back ' w< " and forwards, and offered sums tliat would have been a little fortune to any of the Rhineland peasantry. The soirowing mother was not seeo, but everybody felt for bet wee - and everybody would have given much to bring back the lost girl, and with her the lost happiness The young Englishman wfi peculiarly miserable. And it was new re marked that he did not nsi, though be said nothing to discourage the careful examina Ajon of the gronud liePvecn Ids own and tlu- Trench folks’ dwelling. Behind Bcbwach koptheim there is a little hill or knoll, separated by a ravine and running streaqj, from the more precipitous height ofTouhT fels. It was here that he. was most often to be seen, looking thoroughly miserable. A fortnight went quickly by. No news was heard of Mademoiselle Adelaide. Ihe Englishman's companion returned from llo! lenbiden The two supposed students started A'nr Switzerland. The Americans pteasurW or business, called him at the same time away from DummerSelsteiit, and on the very morning of his embarking on the Dus seldorf boat, be saw, he said, the beat and i broken down figure* of Monsieur and Mad I ime Niboyet helped into the coupe of the diligence* their faces the very picture of j grief and desolation —the little group o! loungers round the starting vehicle standing respectfully-silent. ‘ Well," said 1. “this is a very melancholy story, but wlmt has it to do with Tcufelfels ? You promised me a legend of the ruin, and ■ beyoDd the fact of your having seen it in a 1 thunderstorm, you have said nothing about it. But was anything ever heard of made moiselle ?” “Guess you'll hear it in all time, stranger, if yon'll wait till I’ve gone. * But my throat is dried up talking. Let us have a bottle of Sehwarhkopfheimer, and then I'll get on with the legend Some five years after the events just re ; counted, mv friend, it would s6em, was at Dummereselstcin again, and, of course, at the Hotel de I’Europe. He saw one morn ing at breakfast, an Englishman whose face lie thought was familiar to him, seated by the side of a charming young lady, obvi ously and manifestly his bride. “Adelaide Niboyet!” . “Out there, stranger : that wouldn't be a . legend, would it?” No. Adelaide was dark. The present | yonng moman was fair. But it was Ade- | laide’s young Englishman, travelling on his j wedding tonr. And he seemed to be a per- j son in prosperous circumstances, for thers was a carriage, and a courier, and a iriai i. After breakfast the lady retired, when tiie American accosted her Jord. He recalled the circumstances which had occurred when they were last sojourning together under I lie same toof He begged to inquire whether the Englishman had heatd anything of the lost girl, or of her unfortunate patenw W ith regard to Mademoiselle Adelaide, the Englishman was just going to put the sa me question to him. Monsieur and Mad ame Niboyet, the Englishman had heard nu unimpeachable authority, were both dead. The old gentleman had survived the calam ity about a year ; his wife lingered in soli tude for a few months longer, and then died too. Here the maid brought a message to her master, and retired. The bride, it ap pears, was tried with her journey, and pro posed to rest in her apparUneut for that morning. The American was projecting, lie said, a walk to Schwaehkopfheim, and pro posed that the Englishman should accom pany him. This latter, it appeared, had a’- ready been once to the scehe of the mysteri ous disappearance in the interval between his departure with his fellow student, and Ills return with his bride. An irre sistible impulse attracted him to the fatal spot and though lie was tenderly attached to his new wife, lie could not pass the place in which we enshrined the memo ries of an eatly and unfortunate attach ment, without having to make new inquiries touching ike still unknown late of bis wife was indisposed to walk out on that particu lar morning, for he had said nothing to her about the old love, and her presence would only embarrass his movements. The American now learned—what lie lmd not known before—that on the day of the storm, it had been arranged between Ade laide and the Englishman, that she should start, as though going to meet lier father in Dummereselstcin, but should betake herself to the wooded knoll behind Schwaelikopf iieitn, and there meet him, who had now’de clared himself her lover. The other party to this contract had been unable to keep Ids promise, for he had fallen in by cliiuce with Monsieur Niboyet, arid that gentleman had held him fast, and assisted on his “walking home with Adelaide,’’ to dinner. Then came the storm. Adelaide, the Englishman had thought, as her father thought, must be safe with madame The letter of the morning dispelled this illusion. It was at least clear why the Englishman had searched more dil igently through the copses behind Schwaeh kopflieim, than on the high road to Dtimme reselstein. • The American and his companion wan dered over the old ground, and talked over the old story. “1 searched,” the Englishman said, “every bit ot this ground, for the slightest trace of her having been here, and found nothing." The American then proposed that, for the sake of the view, they should clamber up the height of Teufellels. Half an hours’ scramble brought them over the gully, and up to the very base of the ruined tower.— Many masses of masonry were lying round —showing tliat once the castle had been as capacious as it was strong. Now only one tower remained, and into that there seemed no meaufoof access. There was a great rilt in the wtffl smne twelve or fifteen feet above the ground, but nothing whereby to reach if. Part of a wall seemed once to have led up to the base of this opening, but that was now thrown down- Marks in the tower indicated where the party wall had met it, and the ground was littered by the fallen biocl:s < f stone. The adventurers were bent on ex ploring the hidden interiors of the tower. “I remember,” said the Englishman, “in specting this about a week after Adelaide Niboyet’s disappearance, and thinking that if it had been less difficult of access, and she could have got into it, it might have afforded her shelter lrotn the storm.” At last the American and his comrade hit oa an expedient for making an entry. Tin y conveyed with some exertion U a long-felled pine trunks, that were lying not many yards off, to the foot of the lower, and succeeded in proping them in such a way against the masonry, that a skilful gymnast might reach the aperture in the wall. Somehow or other they both succeeded in clambering up to the ledge formed in the thick wall of the old tower. The floor inside they found to lie nearly on a level with the cleft through wideli they had entered. They turned round on achieving the ascent to survey the glori ous prospect before them. Then they both stepped down on the heaps of stones tliat formed a floor. M hv did ihe Englishman start back with a 1 sudden gesture of horror as they passed into the cavernous interior of the ruin ? At what did he point in such horror-stricken silence' Can there he a doubt? Half concealed by a fragment of moss coreied stone, half sheltered by an arched recess m the wall, lay a whitening skeleton Pilt I '"® ? tIU s,,me crumbling fragments Irl u f • Loi l g l,latk hair * tUl trailed trom the staring skull. Both discoverers gazed sometime without uttering a word. The American was the nrst to break the spell, and to observe, that' now one mystery was a. mystery no longer. Adelaide Niboyet had evidently met her death m the tower of Teufelfcls. But how had she got there .• And by what hard ease was it that none had neur.l the cries by winch doubtless she sought to attract atten | non r Ihe Englishman made no ionly, but : Mill gazed moodily on the corpse; and the , American thought he looked most earnestly l w here ou tlie'small hone of what was once : ™n g ,h< re 81 'U shone a lioop of If the American was bent on discovcr ug something that might give some clue to | the unravelling of the further niysteiy of the i ° f tue *kel,eton in such a place, i Etesently he pounced on a treasure, lying in i a , uarr <?»; "'all, close by the dead girl s right hand This was the sketch-book, btoutly bound in sound leather, and pro tected from the weather by the shelter of the I gtone, It wa* but little injured, j At sight of It. the Englishman linked up, and with a white fa.-e and tietnbliDg lip, I turned to aid in it« examioatii n.

The Englishman took it out ot liis companion's hand, and gaz"d v at it with a 1 sorrow fid interest.

N.” Below this was Wiitt.u again, “I suffer much, night is eo ironing again- A Near tire b:files were lying the tin box in which Mademoiselle Ai .oyet’s colors had been packed,—her watch, some trinkets, an l | a few coins. Ou closer examination, it was discovered that the lefqfaigh- one of ti e skeleton was broken. Did this illustrate ! Adelaide’s being struck dowu by the laden i stone ? Or had it been fractured riuce death? Probably, the Yankee guessed, the former.. His tin ory was that Mademoiselle Niboyet bad gone to meet her lover ou the wooded hill : that findiugyhe did not come, she had wandered on to Teufellels, —perhaps allured by the manifest beauty ot the view to he seen thence—perhaps piqued at the English- man's unpunciuality. Sue had mounted the steps made by the ruined waits, probably witli little difficulty, and had set lierscll to work at her sketch. The storm had come on. The tower was struck soon after its commencement She saw her hope of re-, turn cut off. While endeavoring to’ get cover from the rain, she hid been danger ously hurt by a falling stone. If she had cried, no one had been near to her. She lay, probably unable t<* crawl up to the opening in the wall, knowing that now that tlic stones by which she ascended were thrown down, no one would dream of seeking for her in a place almost inaccessible to two strong mqti. So she died.' What tigouii s she had endured would never be revealed in detail, lint it might fairly be hoped that the injury and ex posure she had sustained had so far acceler ated her dissolution as to spare her the worst pangs ol famine. The two travellers returned pensive and awed, to make the necessary communica tions to the authorities of Dmgniereselstein. The E iglishman started ou the vety night of the discovery for Cobleniz, and the American had never seyn him since. “And that,” said my friend, “is the Legend ot Teulelfel, and it you know any sadder or stranger in your poetiy bookk or guide book?, I'm whipped—and tlpit’s what n > citizen of the great United States of AmeiTi ever was Tor ever will be. Good night, str.ni ger!” I mused in the night-watches over, the wild story of the hapless Adelaide. I could not drive her from my thoughts, bill saw tier under the cold .wa'l dying in the wet, aud the wind, and the anguish. I pic tured to myself the slow grief of the pool- old parents, at.d hoped that no unhappy couse quence resulted to ,-tlie Englishman and his bride. I rose early in the morning, bent ou a visit to the B'. liloss von Teufellels, intending to visit the ruin, aud breakfast at Bchwachkopf lieim. I surmounted tiie crag on which the ftiwtr stands, and was amply repaid for my trouble by the glorious view. It is even better from this i oint, titan from the river. But, after ali, it was not the view that I had come to see. It was the scene of poor Ade laide Niboyet's dentil. A thrill of romantic interest shot through me as 1 turned to in spec!, the hallowed stones. The tower is round, and about forty feel high ; but so much is evident from below. I look. <1 tor the aperture through which Adelaide and her discoverers had'entered tiie building.--' Strange to say, uo such opening was visible. But some years had elapsed since the finding of the bones, aud time bad no doubt wrought more changes upon the ..crumbling edifice. The breakfast, at Schwaehkopfheim was the perfection of a bieakfast. The milk the richest—the butter the .freshest —the Schwa chkopfheimtr the rarest! It was late in the afternoon when I walked into the Hotel de I’Europe at Dummnesel stein. “Where," I sahl, “is the gentleman who was with me hist evening ?” "The English gentleman, str ?" “Yes," I said (There was no use in ex plaining that ail who talk English are not English.) “The gentleman who has been here so often before.” “If mein herr means the English gentle man who-was sitting in the balcony last night, he left this morning by the ten o’cock boat But he has never been here before. Not in ruy lime ; aud I've been here—boy and waiter—for eighteen years.” “H’ui,— Indeed. Tiie gentleman was tilling me the strange legend of TaUfcl fals." Ah! yes—about tiie gbokt ot the .monk who murdered by the baroa ?" “Not at all :—about the young French lady who was lost. “The young French lady who was lost ?" “Yes. Don't you know the story ?—Mad emoiselle Niboyet ?’ “No, mem iierr ; never heard a word of it.” It was-at range that there should be no opining in the wall ot Tenfelfels towbr — stranger that, a waiter who had lived in Dummereselsieiu eighteen years should never have heard of Adelaide Niboyet, and never have seen my Yankee friend before. One thing at least was clear enough. He had told me a story as good as any to lie found in the guide books, and I daresay as true. ' MaTximilia.n in. C’.iuomz.itios —A circular addressed to all the prefects of the empire,' dated Ministry of Fomente, Mexico, Au gust 6th, asks their co-operation in obtain ing a concession from the owners of large es tates arable lauds now occupied, on equitable conditions, with the object of encouraging foreign immigration, which his majesty has decided to favor “by all possible means.’’ The prelects are instructed to represent that while population remains* so small iu pro portion to the extent ot territory, so long .the productions of the soil must be restrict ed for want of labor ; that if agriculture re mains stationary, industry and the useful arts cannot prosper sue! |>overty must con ; tinue ; that tbo government, while asking lands of which it lias need, has no inteutiou of disregarding the lawful rights of propri <t >rs, and will take care to cause to be exe cuted by the colonists ail conditions agreed upon by constituting itself the agent between them and the proprietors. These latter will retain their rights of property in the lands so long as tile v.F.ue shall not have been paid. They will profit meantime by the in tern. U and benefits secured. The price of lands will range from fifty cents to one dol lar and a half per acre. In this movement Maximilian evinces an intelligent regard for the wants of the people and a due apprecia tion of the public necessities. It it a hope ful Indication.
