these idea*, lie stopped at the door of the
Golden Angel, gave his horse to the ost
ler, and suppotted lus fair companion,
who seemed somew hat fatigued by her
ride, into the house. Agreeably to his or
ders, a handsome repast was shortly pre
pared for them in a private apartment, &
•during tiie ensuing hour, he entered -into
conversation with Blanche, vvLo betrayed
a finely cultivated intellect, joined to
laucli simplicity, and in almost total ig
norance of what is termed ‘the world.'
F.very moment added to his love, and she,
it was .evident returned it with as much
cordiality as it was possilde could result
from so short an acquaintance. After
their meal was over, Blanche retired to the
apartment which had been prepared lor
her, and Wilhelm, occasionally refresh
ing himself with a glass of i loelieuner,
began to meditate on Ins future plans.
These plans we will not relate, for vc
ty speedily an event occurred which reo
rdered them useless; this was no less than
the door opening, and admitting the per
sonage who had thought fit, so unaccoun
tably, to take possession of ‘Joseph and
his Brethren’ on tlie Tocplitz road.
He advanced into the centre of the a
partinent, and gazed around, scarcely no
ticed the youth, and apparently loosing
for some absent object. The youth sat
without speaking; not knowing in what
manner to address the stranger. ‘ ‘lf he
be a thief,’ he thought, ‘1 hail better give
him into the charge of the poi.ee; but if
oujthe other hand lie be a rich man, i
should be loa.h to offend iv n; lie might,
on the contrary, assist me materially.’
The question u is soon solved, by the re
turn of Blanche into the apartment. The
moment the stranger beheld her, he seiz
ed her arm violently, and then flung it u
way.
‘Degenerate girl! Prepare to return
with me instantly, and as for that • ...it,
the jail shall punish turn for tins kuuve
*ry/
Blanche clasped her white hands, as
in entreaty; she sunk at liis feet—‘Oh
pardon us!’ she cried.
‘P irdon! Truly that is good!’ shouted
W.foehn, as he drew his sword, and wa
ved it hi a threatening manner, ‘paruou
from a ,i)i«i'like ilinf! Lad.v Blanche, if
you love me, come to me, 1 will protect
you from your \ilc banbii! 1 ciiarge you,
Aleiu Herr, with a foul theft!’
A sudden thought seemed to dart a
qross her brain, she started up, flew across
flie room to where Wilhelm siood, threw
herself into bis arms, and whispered—
‘Create a confus.oi', and we may per
haps escape.’ Her embrace caused some
distraction in her admirer’s brain, but he
promptly deternu ic I to follow her ad
vice. In pursuance, therefore, of this
resolution, ho continued to shout loudly,
'thieves! robbery!’ and m half a minute,’
numbers of persons thronged into the
room. ‘Seize,’ be shouted, ‘that villain,
he has stole a picture worth fifty llorins
from me!’
During these proceedings,which scarce
ly occupied a minute, the stranger stood
Vv .. J, l-—* Uv m*tt -iienuuuolT
listed the attempts of the landlord and
Others to collar him, and a noisy and very
outrageous sen file ensued.
‘No v, now,’ earnestlv e jaculated Blanche
‘let us aw iy!’ but Wilhelm felt no wish
to depart.
‘Let us rather stay, dearest, to sec this
thief safely conveyed to prison, & then’-
‘A fatal delay!’ distractedly cried Blan
che, ‘he is no thief, the mistake will he
discovered directly, and we are lost forev
er. It is tin Prince of liens’!’
Had a thunderbolt fallen at his feet,
’Wilhelm would not have experienced
near so much alarm oi amazement as
tie's,; words created. lie immediate!'.’
•saw the prudence of her counsel, caught
li r in ins arms, hurried towards the door,
darted through, almost flew along the gal
leries and stairs, and rushed mtothe street.
Opposite stood the horse of a traveller
who had just dismounted, and whom he
recognised to be ins master, Sch auffe.

‘W • are lost!’ cried Blanche, as the
last rays of the setting sun shewed her
certain well known objects. ‘I hear the
sound of pursuers, and every step does
But convey us nearer to the castle of my
guardian.’
“vfuroaly chance,” answered Wilhelm
"“is that this horse may outstno those
which follow. Even as lit* spoke the last
hone deserted them. The animal was
thoughlv wearied when Wilhelm and his
mistress dismounted A now he suddenly
stopped in lus career. A convulsive shud
der shook hts frame, he staggered, and fell
to the earth. The lady esc ipe 1 unhurt,
but \\ dmclm’s temple struck against a
Stone, and lie was laid senseless On the
ground. Blupc'iv, when she beheld her
lover, a* she concluded, dead, gave one
loo! despaitiiig shriek, and sank equally
inanimate on his body.
A few words of explanation will ren
der the remainder of our story connec
ted. On his way to Dresden the prece
ding dav, Scliaufle, being well acquain
ted with his love for the fine arts, called
at the splendid mansion of the Price of
Bens, and exhibited his collection. There
h« discovers the defalcation of “Joseph
and his Brethren,” urn! having prevously
extolled ii* n *rits, w is forced to confess
til l’ it h i l been either stolen or left be
hind. The Prince who felt a curiosity to
bein' I *t| ■ picture, immediately offered
to despatch u messenger to Toeplitz with
j directions to bring if, offering SchauiTe an
apartment for tfie night in his castle.
This was readily agreed to, and u man
was sent with order* to Gertrude lo de
liver it, but chancing to meet with a com
rade in Tocplitz, they spent the night to
gether in carousing, and i! was lute the next
j day ere he seturned.
Impatient at the delay, the Prince, on
the following morning, walked several
miles on the road to meet his messenger,
and encountered Wilhelm in the manner
described. He suspected that the young
man had stolen the picture, and wa* on
i the point of charging him with the theft,
; when \1 ilhciiuran in pursuit of the star- j
j tied liorse. He immediately concluded ;
tiiat the thief hail discovered lie was sus-I
pec ted, and had either made his escape,;
or would return with his accomplices.!
Under this iniprssion he seized the pic- !
ture and hurried back to Ins man-!
smn. At the castle old SchauiTe eagerly |
recognized Ins work, and concluded vv.th
the 1 mice that it must have been the thief
who offered it for sale; he still, liowevt r,
wished to know what message would ar
rive from old Gertrude, and with Ins pat
ron’s permission, he left the castle, and
! rode slowly towards Toephtz,, in the hope
of meeting Ins tardy mess nger. It was
t ot long ere he encountered imp, and then
learnt tiiat it must have been -his pupil
whom the Prince ii.idmistaked fora thief;
and hastening back to undeceive lum. lie
learnt theinysterous disappearance of La
dy Blanche, and aiso that the l’rince,
having previously despatched persons dif
ferent ways, had himself hurried towards
Dresden. Fearful lest the latter should
ill-treat Ins really loved pupil, under the
persuasion of Ins being a rogue, Schautfe
determined likewise to proceed to thecity,
and alight at the Golden Angel in tune to
see \\ ilhelin depart with a young female,
and likewise, dy declaring his rank, to
protect the Prince of Ileus from farther
violence.
.Slowly Wilhelm recovered; at first a
dark cloud rested upon Ins eyes, and the
objects around him appeared strange,
confused and shapeless. Gradually, liow
i ever, each seenn and more distinct, and full
| perception of the present, and reincin
j brance of the past upon linn. He lay on
j a couch in a room of the Golden Angel!
w here he had dine !. By tns sole knelt
lauche, pale as death, iau weeping w ith
joy at bis recovery, oa tiie other, stood a
j barber, who had just finished tiie operation
I of bleeding; while over him hung ms old
j master, Schaiufe, almost dancing with
j pleasure when he beheld him oi.ee more
j unclose Ins eyes; and lastly the Prince of
i Ileus, looking by iar the least pleased oi
I the party; indeed, Ins countenance betray-
| ed a deep expression oi suppressed rage,
; at which Wilhelm by no means wouder
| ed, when he recollected the tody ol which
j lie had been guilty.
] “Young man,” —sternly began* the
I Prince, —“when 1 thought you a common
j thief, it appears that i did you wrong; hut
J yon have proved yourself a villain; far
worse than one who robs to supply liim
j *l" 1'.,,,,!, in huts mitKM.lij ULViti a In
i' dy so much your superior in rank. A
public and severe pumshmeut should have
followed, had not the tears foul entreaties
of this old man, and tins infatuated girl,
induced me to alter n y resolution. Son ar
to me first, never to betray tne events oi
this evening to any to whom thev are now
unknown; and, secondly, swere never a
: gain to approach the Baroness of iio
hensteni.
“The first condition, Prince,” replied
Wilhelm: “1 readily agree to, but to the
latter never.”
“And I,” sobbed Blanche, “will never
never he united to any one but you!”
| Faith and overpowered with excess of
j conflicting feelings, she convulsively clung
I m the couch for support. Wilhelm
j started up and caught her in his arms.
| “We must part, dearest,” he whispered,
j but let us do so only to meet again. 1 love
; thee far too well and too sincerely to for
! get thee.”
Tiie Prince viewed the lovers with in
creasing displeasure, and yet species of
pity; their attachment, although new and
sudden, had a character ofsincerity, which
every-day love generally lucks most vvo
fuiiy; and old Schautfe, “albeit unused to
the melting moon,” found Ins eyes filling
with tears as he beheld the deep yet
perfectly hopeless attachment of Ins pu
|Uh
j “This is mere madness,” at length said
; tl>e Prince, “you must and shall part tor
ever, and that without further waste of
j time. The Lady Blanche is to me as i
j cred trust; she was • infilled to my care by
I her lather, and shall not debase Ik iv h by
a degrading marriage.’
Tne youthful pair threw themselves at
his feet. -»
‘Do not separate us,’ said Blanche, and
soft entreaty shone in her beaming t ,
‘1 am rich enough for us botn, a at mint
you can bestow. Were my dear father
liv.dg, he w ould rather see me happy than
great. Do not—do not separate us for
ever!’
‘Hank and fortune, Blanche, are cer
tainly desierable jMissessions in one who
j aspires to your hand: but it is not merely
| because youi lover ha* not these, that 1
I deny your prayer—it is the want oi ba th
j which renders me firm. \V hat!—shall it
be said that the high horn Blanche of
liohcustein married, with the consent of
! her foster-parent, a miserable painter? A
I man whose parents are unknown beyond
I the paltry neighborhood wherein they pur
sue their daily avocation? No—it must
not !*■!’ He paused for a moment, and
Wilhclin rose haughtily from the ground,
and lifted his fair companion.
‘ Let us not kneel, Blanche, to tins proud
man, who would hurst asunder the dear
est, most valued ties of the heart because
forsooth, so Wretched an advantage as'
high birth, has not been bestowed upon |
me. Remember, Prince, it was chance
and not merit that made you what you
are.’ As he spoke, lus eve caught that
of Schautfe, a sudden thought
him.
‘Old man!’ he slmuted, ‘tell me, who
are my parents? I never knew them—’
and hope fit fora moment a gleam of joy I
in his countenance; hut it faded instantly, I
for the sorrowful expression with which
his master regarded linn plainly told
that he had no good knows to coinmuni- '
eate. W ilhelin clasped his hands togeth
er in despair, nor could all Ills niaulv res
olution enable him to suppress a bitter j
sigh.
The Prince looking at them both with
a half sentiment of compassion, and as for
the barber, who unnoticed and unseen,
yet stood i.y the side of the couch, he
j entered so warmly into the feelings of the
1 runaways that it is probable nothing but
I respect lot the great power of the Prince
I of I! cus, prevented his interfering most;
j unseasonably.
; ‘I) urest Blanche,’said the Prince,‘res-j
i train your sorrow, this is hut anew ac- j
quaiutance, you must forget him, I am !
only studdying your happiness in forbid- j
ding your union with this young man; t
felicity never can follow an unequal mar
riage. I had once hoped,’ and his voice
faltered, and his eyes glistened with tears j
of repressed emotion, ‘I once hoped to I
have seen you united to my son, but I
that hope, alas! has fled for ever.’
‘I never knew you had a son, my lord,’
i said SchauiTe, not because he cared one
doit about the matter, but merely to div ert
i the attention of the Prince from the pas- I
I donate leave-taking of Wilhelm and in.* I
■ mistress.
‘Yes,’said the Prince, sorrowful, ‘1
: had a sou, lie was the joy of my heart;!
; and he was taken away. It is mam years

‘Prithee, tell tne, my lord, how long is

‘Nearly seventeen years.’
‘And tne child—liovv old?’
’Hauler mole than three—hut where

‘Almighty powers! 1 think—l believe

‘You! speak, spun a—i charge you!’

THE LAM) SEE TEXT, HEAD
A S ,1 lIERUIXGH
During the whole of last week, the at
tention of the citizens of this place was
: much excited, by the agonies and appa
rent suffering of the great Snake Nullifi
i cation, that reaches from Montgomery
Alabama, by way ofthis place, Milledge
| ville, Columbia S. Carolina, to Charles
ton, its “Head Quarters.” The Serpent
ii.id evidently been on the decline forsev-
I eral days; but for the last twenty-four
hours its agonies were heart rending! A
| consultation of Physicians vvas held to
determine upon the nature of the com
| plumt, and to prescribe remedies; hut as
j usual in such cases, the “ Doctors differ
ed” iji opinion upon thoeio two points.
Doctor Bird thought it must have the
Small Pox, and recotnmeifded quaran
tine and “Hepatene.” Doctor DcGr ilT
enreid swore it vvas tainted with Treason,
and recoin mended inoculation with Re
publicanism, and a plaster of “ Clay.”
Some thought it rapidly sinking under the
consumption. —One thought that “The
Planters of Montgomery were Cook- ing
its tail.” Some thought that old Jack
son had stricken it with Ins Hickory
club. Betlnme said tiiat the work vvas
done; for “the Lord givetli and the Lord
[ rnketh away;”—called upon all those that
had tears, to prepare to shed them now;
that he knew that the injury had been
done by Mclntire’s big Shelalak ; and re
commended prayer. Bond recommen
ded “ Moore," as an antidote for this
wound; but Gordon seemed to doubt the
remedy ami *j«n*«t»on ito oOicuoy. Wool
folk swore that the and n Clark men
“had done it,” bv gorging it with a com
pound dose of “Union and Democracy”
and recommended “A barrel of excellent
! whiskey,” and offered a reward of five
! hundred dollars “in Florida Money,” to
any one, who would preserve its life un
! til the first Monday in October next; but
: thought if it died, it would make “an ex
cellent barbecue.” Mr. Berthelot “if he
i might be so bold,” “most powerfully sup
ported” the affirmative, that all its ago
!ny was occasioned by the Courier in
| Charleston. When lo! on yesterday it
! died—“ The heavens lie hung with black.”
! This day’s mail brought us the news, that
it vvas Judge Lee of South Carolina, who
with the weapon of Hercules, and the
strength of an Ajax, struck the serpent
upoii the head and killed it dead; iiill
filling that .part of the Scripture which
says “the seed of the woman shall bruise
the serpents head.” Upon dissection,
it vvas found to contain a goo : deal of
black bile, its constitution entirely des
troyed, its lungs much injured, by crying
“."tate Rights.” In its gall bladder, was
found John C. Calhoun, dead, with a
pamphlet in his hand, supposed to he bis
late exposition of the constitution. In its
Paunch lay Mr. McDuffie with a written
speech, intended to have been delivered
in behalf of the reptile; hut “found him
self so tr tinelled by circumstances he
could say nothing.” Dr. Cooper wqts at
tempting to raise them, by blowing in
their nostrils, which was abandoned after
much wind Uid been spent with the con
solation of knowing, that they had no
souls to he punished. In one of its dying
struggles it struck Mr. Crawford a vio
lent blow, w hich had like to have killed
him, and caused the old man to disinherit
it, a few moments before its death, for at
tempting the unnatural paricide. The
Georgia “Troup,” stood its con fessor, and
shed rivers of tears. — Mr. llayne will de

Asa proof of that faet. I subjoin the

All that I remarked on the occasion
referred to, was, that in a conversation, j
which I hud with Gen. Woolfolk. on j
the subject of the election, he said liis
pecuniary condition, vvw* then different;
from v.hut it hud been, Ihul he could
* ■»
spare more time from nis domestic af
fairs, and ifhis friends desired him, he
was public property and would In come
a candidate. On which, I voluntari.v
i drew a petition, without his knovvl
| edge, requesting him to permit his name
jto l>e announced, a political privilege
which I believed I possessed, aud other
j respectable gentlemen who signed it
have read it, and will say, that it con
; tarns no abusive epithets, or language’,

Generul Woolfolk vvas not pres.
| ent nt L. J. Davies’ when f read
! the petition to Col. Harper, as will np.
j pear from the statement of .Mr. Davis.
If the allusion is to me in having for
| -t‘d names to the petition, whilst in
I my possession, it is entirely and totally
dcstitute of truth. I did not to the best
!of my recollection obtain more thau
fifteen or twenty names, all of which
i can identify, as they were obtained
by personal application to the individu
als themselves and in their own proper
hand writing which I can at any time
prove.
Truth alone is beautiful, truth only
is amiable, and I have stated nothing
but the literal facts.
