What are dreams— illusions ol fancy or sug
gestions of prophecy! fleeting v miihb w lie Ii
pasa over I lie mind, like clouds across the sil 1
lake, trncelcsa and trackless, meaning noth
ing. and teaching nothing'! or are they shad
ow* of coming events, or light and transient
as (lie mountain mist, but like that, foretell
ing the storm or sunshine that is lo follow!
these are doubts winch the philosophy of ages
have not been able to solve. Our story may,
perhaps, throw some light upon the iiuaiy
quest.® n.
Vivian was a youth envied hy all around
hinTas the favorite of fortune, lie was rich,
accomplished, hadsoine and beloved ; but, sins!
he was nut happy, lie fell the want sis spi
rit which he did not know how lo supply.
ll* looked around in nature, and felt its beau
tie* with a vivacity almost amounting to rup
ture ; hut an uneasy sense ol privation re
mained.
ll seemed to him that there was something
lost, or saiiiniliing not yet. found, which was
indispensable to bis pence.
He rose in llie morning, and ascended to
the lop of one ol the highest hills ami looked
over the broad landscape. In tlK* silver nvu
n el, the waving meadow, the si iping woods,
the golden morning, Bird the purple sunset, in
all around him—bn saw objects to clelighl, but
mne to satisfy bun. I> *y after day lie re
turned lo hi* lioine, with the fell .cl ion, *• These
are indeed beautiful, but they only persuade
me that there le yet sumjlliir.g belter than
llio-c.”
One evening, as ho was returning from his
rambles, lie approached the dwelling ot a
humble cottager, distinguished lor Ins worth
and wisdom. He was aged and posses mg
no oilier fortune than a daughter of sixteen
years; he still deemed himself rich, lor she
was dutiful, intelligent, and lovely, I* was u
beautiful night, and the moonbeams were wo.
ven with thick clusters of j 'ssaminc over the
door and windows of the cottage. A sweet
voice was hoard —Vivian paused ; it was '.lie
daughter of the cottager Mug ng
At nii-iy uiwn, nl rosy morn,
Tim rmlbrsixt ainiia alone—
At twilight dim, atilt Ins hymn
limit n still mid suirownig lone
Anolbnr day bit sang is gny,
turn listening Innl is near,
O, ye who sorrow, come horrow, borrow,
A lesson *1 robin here.
Vivian frequently visited the cottage, and
was ever a welcome guest there. A* he en
tered it, Elen the cottage girl, met min and
conduced him to her father. As lie sit con
versing with the good old man, Ins eyes stole
often to the beam mg face ol the daughter.
While he gar.ml upon her, her glance mui
Ins ; her eyes were cast upon the ground, mid
tbs hues that came to her cheek were those
which stinsi'l throws upon n while cloud.
Vivian experienced strange and bewildering
emotions, but Im could not account lor them,
ll did not enter hi* imagination that a simple
cottage maiden could possess inlhience over
the rich heirofahgh and haughiy hiniily.
He returned home still less happy limn ever.
Resiles* and perplexed, he retired lo Ins
slurping apartment, mid threw IniiisellTipoii
In* pillow/, Uul it was long ere he coni i sleep.
If for a moment he h>sl himself in slumber, u
multitude of images passed In lore him, hull
real half imaginary, now thrilling him with
pleasure, ilien startling him with affright. At
length wearied and exhausted, he fell asleep.
When he awoke, he was deeply impressed
with n dream, the outlines only of which lie
could recall. It seemed that he had been fa
vored with the presence of the object which
he sought. It had Idled h.m with delight ;
and while still awake, Ins noma thrilled with
exquisite emotions.
Hut the name and form of this object lie
could not bring back to his memory. Win ti -
er, indeed, it ii.itl visited linn ns a tiling ol
eight or sound, bn could not toll, ft seemed
at one moment to be a being of form; and as
In* fancy strove to recover the fleeting nmgo
it wouldjiovcr to bis eye and then disappear.
Thou some faint strain ol recollected me
lody would appear to be the thing Uo bed lost;
but us he pursue I i*, it inched away. All that
remained and certain in hi* tiimU was an
impression that the object necessary to his
happiness had visited lit* imagination msleep
bringing with it all lira charm* of beauty and
melody, and casting around his spirit a spell
ofstrango and enthralling power. Hut fancy
ing that tie hid now a clue to the mystery
winch had seemed to involve Ins existence,
Vivian determined lo unravel it in n practi
cal man nor. 11* was persuaded that if he
were to meet the being of Ins dream, he
should instjjitly recognise! t, ami thus dis
•over the secret of his happiness. Ho riwolv
*d lliere'orc lo travel, aid scrutinise every
(lung that came vviilnn hie observation. We
cannot follow linu through all In* wandering*.
He visited foreign cities, and mingled in tne
gay world of fashion. He exam nod the
vsnou* mullin'ions of the countries through
rvhicu he passed, saw remarkable edifices
and localities,scan.io l paintings and flames,
sought out the picUire.-que, ascended Mount
Hlanc for the siiuhmo, and ranged the lulls ot
•Scotland fur the romantic. In short, lie
made the great tour and saw whatever u tr«-
vc let should see.
In iwo years he can* back to hi* native
country, improved in knowledge and routined
in maimers; bin a melancholy shade upon In*
countenance doc Med lie hud not found the
object of his pursuit. O.ieu indeed, had he
seemed lor a moment about to discover the
image which came in his dream, but smld li
ly the subtle thread by which lie he’d it was
broken, and the resemblance flew away like
■ fnwhted bird. Vet every thing seemed lo
remitted hiiiij,of what ho sought— In llie look
of soma dark hair d girl of Savoy—n Ihe
glance ot a blue eye shepherdess of the Rhine
m ilio soft language of a /'Vouch maiden,
in the ringing laugh ot an English one—in the
low unearthly tone* of an /Rohan harp—in the
touching melody of the musical voice of Wad.
Pasta, and in that of M d S mtag—in the
Sybil of l)ainmichino; in the Venus de Medici
in the mountains and rivers—in the blue
air—the tinted cloud—Hie prismatic bow—in

whatever gave Inin pleasure, there w as some

hly ami mysteriously associated with 'll" sub

linn war thus stamped with ll* fresh foot
prints, its wing rustling in every breeze, n«
image dwelling in alt that was melodious, still
still Iho evanescent being eluded ins grasp,
and cheated Ins pursuit.
He had been at home but a single day,when,
ns if by accident, he found himself approach*
ingthe collage we have described. It was
evening, and the moon shone a* belurc upon
the jesaiume, which he last visited, Agnn
he heard Hie voice of Ellen; again he paused
and listened. It was agnn the song of the
redbreast that she wa* singing. V Midi ol
recollection*eamo to h * mind, "Tins.'' said
he, "istuioly the music of my dream?” He
hastened to the cottage- Ellen met him at

her the heroine of ins vision? t
Let not the render say our «• »>ry is impioba • ,

from which nil our pleasure flows. In short,
there are others, us well as he, who ImvJ
seen analogies in things, as unlike aa a tain

We need not tell the rest. The lovers
were married, and Vivian and Ellen consider
their union, as a happy fulfilment of a remark

It is already known even to our most distant

produced in various districts near .ho metropolis ,
by the nightly appearance of a‘something.’ which
is only not described because it is indescribable, 1
and which would be bettor seen were tl nut so '

missioners of police to llie superintendents to
inquire concerning it in their respec ive ills nets,
rcpieseuU it as “resembling a ghost, bear, devil,

some astonishment to learn, that the nitpiir Cs
insiiluted in consequence of the flights and inju
ries sustained by many susceptible persons, go to
establish n supposition that no such “soUTcihmg"
has ever appealed at all, winch adds alarmingly
to iho mystery —because its pieserce has been

ex-Vice President of Mexico, left Vent Cruz for ''J
Mexico, oh the lC;lt Pel), with Ins family, and L
that he agrees with president Bustamente on
certain subjects from which the patriots infer a j

range, had declared in favor of the confederation, c ,
hail despatched messengers to Texas, for the
purpose of inducing the Texians, who, it is said, J
eonfide implicitly in him, to advance to Duiange 1
ami to unite with him for the establishment of
the fedeial government in Mexico. Various
similar demonstrations of public feeling had taken j
place in oilier pans of Mexico, and animmedi.de

anticipated, i
Verbal information obtained from the same i

from Mexico against General Urrea, n part of he

Extract ol'u Letter from Savannah.
“Wo notice that the Bank, of New York arc
toiesumc specie payments on the 10th of May.
'l’tia Banks in Savannah and Aug nsia, will no
doubt follow ns soon as lliey can without dis
tressing the community; but we do not think
they should attempt a lesumplion sooner than
mil-summer, or in the fall. The first move
which will pr .bably bo made, will bo to throw oil'
the Country Bank notes; the next tv ill boa con
traction to a moderate degree, so as not to dis
tress their creditors. This the writer thinks un
necessary and uncalled for; there is now a good
dial of paper running agiimt cotton and more
money will be required lo move il, but in the
natural courts of business, before the middle of
June a vciy targe amount of tjo liabilities ol
md.viduals as well as of the Banks will be paid
oil'; the Banks can thco prepare to resume in
the fall without distressing the community and
with ease lo themselves. Some of onr financiers
think a contraction should at once tike place; hut
ihcse arc generally cotton speculators and have
no liabilities in bank. The writer goes against
this scheme, and thinks there is not the hast
necessity of il; a sudden contraction now would
at once depress the | rice of cotton, and
might cause failures and losses to the Banks,
when there is not the leas, necessity for it.—
More loss has been occasioned in New York by
rapid contraction titan will bo regained m years.”

uncertain The principal feature in it to which
we object, is its tendency to increase Executive
Ilatiumige. It is a matter well settled, Ibal
Republican Governments are in more danger of
being destroyed by an undue exercise of power,
than from the want ot it. In addition to this, it
seems from the bill alluded to, that the Fees deut !
and the Senate of tho United Stiles will have ■
exclusively, the right to appoint all and every
officer to carry into effect the Sub Treasury plan.
We should like it better if the direct Representa
tives of the i eoplc bad a voice in the selection of
those officers.

applauded to the sk.es. When the curtain
dropped, the deed was found to have hi en

She lull Ii departed:—o? In view the rose,
Ere it hath fully —fully bloomed—decay;
To -o> destruction all its beauties close,
Ere it hath ceased'to charm our transient day,
The heart is touched:—hut to behold the smile,
Which from the mind springs beaming to eye,
That light f\ nm heaven.* hid: ran so well begu-le,
Pass to oblivious dnrkletts.—fade, and die,
The soul grows sick;—thus —she hath fled,
1 In her young loveliness.—and joined the dead.
