A REVERIE.
NaVr by day did Reason’* mint..
Cfiv* my (houghta n clearer point
if assured reality,
* hat! was left hy
h.amped and color and cm niy rorit—
lu a dream of yesternight. *
There are waking and sleeping dreams. I
j There ate times when the sou!, throwing j
ofi ibe fitters of reason and judgment, ex
• p *:i ites fieciy through the boundless fi Ids
of imagination, and surrendering herself to’
too influence of f*nry, indulges in visions
of her own creation, and ideas jhat h-iv?
no archetype in nature. 1 know nrf how it
is with others, hut ui?h me, the nature of
‘ these reveries depends much on the state
of rise rxiertr.l wtnld. I; is not wslhour
reason th it the chaste queen of night is
supposed to it .ve an ir Cuence on insanity
I know (.hough I am not mi the mad house)
that the witching time i*f night gertrrates
roy wildest and most fantastic speculations.
The cold and silent stream of wan and
spectra! light, which is shed by the gilding
moon—nrtv giilieiing on the lipling waves
—now trembh.ig among the houghs of the
forest, the grey mist rising from the waters,
spreading like n shroud over the low finds,
and fdowljHelambeiing up the sides of the
mountains, the red glare of meteors stream
ing swiiVy through the sky<—the clouds of
horrific blackness sailing through the air—
the distorted, magnified and unnatural ap
pearance of familial objects seen indistinct
ly through the gloom or by the dubious and
uncertain light of the moon—ai! conspiro
jto excite a fearful and sombre train of
thought, and to fdi the mind w ith wild and
unearthly images. There are some even
ings which brine to my mind an indiscriba
ble sensation of gloom ; they have an inde
finite, (indefinable air of wildness which.
seems to be the precursor of smpio great
1 and c daroitous event. There was such an
■evening in the month of April last—a raw,
hollow wind was mutating among the trees,
and the moon was shedding uncertain and i
fitful gleams among huge masses of sting-j
gling clouds which were hurrying v oh wild j
; velocity along the sky ; a few patches of
the white vesture cf w inter were still so be
‘seen on the bleak and bare hills—the last
* _ j
i visit *f the snow spirit for the season, l :
i v. as at some distance from (be village where 1
i reside, and as 1 was -hastening home on i
, account of the chii'ncss of the wind, ond I
the IV.oriO’S of the hour, my mind takidg
’ ‘ *no from tho slate of the external world,
began to buy iiseif with wild and unearth
ly im iiiCf, w.iii st: ange and fearful thoughts.
They at first pass and .rapidly through my
irvnd like the wild clouds us the heavens
above, leaving but a faint and uncertain !
impression, but gradualy grew more dis
tin-t, till a! last they settled in the follow
ing tone :
Metkought the wav was thronged with
people Wiio were pressing along in an op
posite direction to that which I was pursu
ing, with ijj ihyir movements, and a
fearful anxiety iu their looks. As the
: conmifs* muMtudes passed by, they nppea
rod to regard me with looks of mingled pi
ty ami horror. As i proceeded, the crowd
thickened, every face was pale with fear,
and ey jv countenance .was shrouded in
gloom—yet still they passed with some de
termined purpose. I was afraid to ask the
cause of tho universal perlui h iti m, lost l
should lie overwhelmed by some terrihU
disastrous intelligence; hut an undefined
sense of danger, h dread of some mighty
and unknown evd—the moro appalling
from ils uncertainty—was springing up
. within me. I endeavored to divine the
cause which could have drawn forth ibn*e
masses, but all my conjectures couid fur
nish lit) adequate solution to the problem.
Torre was something appalling iu the very
sdonee in which toe multitude moved on,
not a sound was heard saving the trampling
■of innumerable feet, and the loud sighings
of tho wind —Presently the de:‘p tones of
;a Le!l struck on my ear, its reverberation*
created an impulse like Hum of an electrical
; shock through tho crowd—every face bo
-1 came paler, and every’ step was quickened.
• Ail at once ii flashed upon my mind (and i?
is unaccountable how it should for a mo
ment have escaped me) that it had
revealed by some superior power, that on
that night So/no utjmterablp event —some
unknown indescribable catastrophe, that
involved even more than death, was about
to tfikn pfficC throughout a large section of
the country. The distinct mode in which
. this revelation had been made, I did not
know ; hut there was a copscictisness on
! my mind that the warning had been giycr>,
;aiv! a certainty th*i the calamity would en
sue ; among pfhor known prognostics of.
the teilible event, the bells were to to!! of
‘themselves, and of their own accord to stop
j !5 minutes before the calamity took place
-and all who by this period rerchrd a speci
'fi and place weie to be sr.fe from its effects,
though they would its nature. I
f could qoiv pecount for and hor
iror witli which t!e crowd regarded the pen
• vprsucss, heedlesncss, of one who had tie*
elected the terrible warning ; a3 soon os
the recollection *f the approaching crisis
j came tu my mind, I redoubled my speed,
l dreamed (das, tiiat it was but n dtcam)
|(hat there was one whoso h?art and. mine
were mutually connected by the uiosl ten
der ties : io her home I hastened to see
, uheth i r she who wr.s all the wmld to me
; had fled from tlie see;*: of danger. To mv
dcspuii 1 f>;#nd that she had not gone. —
; Si*o was hI no-it i.* a statu of distrac/iou ;
; she knew that either l had neglected to
i provide for my own safety, or that * had
i bpen so selfis!) as to loa/e her to )(i fate—
iif oiHtur case she had no wish to escape
• the worst that could hr fa l her. She was
j utterly deaf m the p.istionate entreaties of
her friends and faubiy, who wiih generous
dev’oieu remained with her, and urged
hescopht her.to secure her sal My. -Vnen i
she saw n.j a glow of rapture lighted her
frump ai the cpnyicttou that her lears of my
cesL-iiion iveiugfoiindi.es>, apd that l had
i:M aba: doned her—but tht gleam pi j°V
Was spoc c|;ascd away by the recollection
‘hat iho bell bad alrnady tolled io* seme
and ue, and we were several miles distan?
from the place ol refuge. I briefly and
tjurriedly told her the cause of my delay
-.nd endeavored to re-assuro h.- r hy repre
-entit‘2 to her tlie probability that sufficient
(ime (V.-uld yet be efTonied for escape.
There w as no knowing how long the hell
would continue to toll ; it would be for
hours ; then (hero was 15 minutes to spare;
af er the bell had stopped. ! besought her
theres re to enter the carriage which was
in waiting, and proceed wiih her fiends as
rapidly as possible beyond the reach of
danger. Here a now difficulty arose; she
insisted that I should enter the carriage
with her, and refused to seek her safety un
less she could share it with me. But with
an inconsistency wicli may be pardonable
in a dream I imagined that J had some
comparatively trifling offices to perform at
my own room before I could depart, and ‘
refused to accompany her—at last, however, 1
hv persuading her thdt the hell would toll
f>r some time longer, and assuring her that
i would follow, as soon as 1 could arrange
my affhirs, on n swift steed which I had in
(he stable, l should probably soon overtake
her, lin need her to consent to en. The
carriage drove rapidly away aTuj a heavy”
weight was removed from my bout. I now
hastened home and began to busy myself
in earnest preparation. But my agitation
was surn that I could not proceed us I
would ; there were lights to be struck and
iho tinder would n t ignite: there were
papers to he found and 1 could not tell
where they lay ; the deep solitude and an
overwhelming consciousness of the precs
rhsiisnss.s of my situation, disturbed me, sj
that I mot with a thousand interruptions
and unexpected delays, amidst which i of
ten listened to hear whether the bell still
continued to sound’ Ob, with what joy
dtd f perceive ever and alien as I listened,
that its solemn reverberations continued to
till my *ars \ At length, after the lapse of
an hour, ero which I calculated that she
had reached a place of safety, my prepara
tion was completed. I paused for a moment
Jo hear if the bei! continued to toll—it
Struck—l paused again, five, ten, twenty,
thirty seconds, to hear if the stroke was re
peated, no sound reached my ear—! then
knew it had stopped—in 15 minutes the
catastrophe would take place, destruction :
what was to be done ? How could I reach
ihe place of safety in the brief space allot
ted me ? I had yet one chance of safety
left, my steed was swift ands roup ; and
if driven desperately, might vet save me ;
J rushed to the stable where he stoftd—
judge of my horror when I found he was
gone. Borne jDne, doubtless, deemed the
emergency justified the deed, had seized on
him to secure his own fl ght. I was now
desperate ; I had no resource left ! -man
and b*\st had fled from the impending cri
sis— i had not even the poor consolation
of having a companion of my despair.
The catastrophe was approaching—a
terrible storm arose—ao Egyptian daii.w-'fc* ’
fiiled tile atmosphere—(hough lurid light*
werfe beie and there leen through the thick
darkness, and it seemed as if huge and un
couth appearances (whether substantial
forms or shadowy images I could not de
termine) were flitting in the air with out
spreading dragon wings. At this peiiod I
bad ft supernatural power of measuring
lime ; l estimated its lapte as accurately
as if 1 were watching a cronometer, but
there was a s/ ange contradiction about it
—the time on tiie whole seemed long—op
nressivt ly lung—yet each s parate moment
flaw by with unnatural rapidity ; such was
tht intensity of my excitement tfiat the mo
ments as ihi v passed seemed to be palpa
ble, and in my despair I grasped after them
as if they had been tangible things, ami J
had the .power of detaining them. In this
state scarcely knowing what 1 did, I rush
ed madly forw o j—-deeming perhaps that
! at this time of supernatural terror, some
supernatural accident might yet place me in
! s ; 'fi*ty. or that at least Hie danger might be
ll nssened hy approaching the p ace of refuge.
In this way i ran on till, by my power of
measuring tim ■*, 1 fiund that the last second
of the fifteen minutes had expired, when I
sunk exhausted In the ground-—at this mo
ment—oh ! how shall I describe the horror
of ’hat moment—l whs awakened from my
trance hy loaning against my o'.yn door
