The recollection of the many pleasure I
had experienced during several sutnmci
loan through llnglaml and Wales, u well
as through Ireland and Heotland, pi d
itself strongly upon mo in a moment ul men*
tal resuscitation, after a long peiiod of in ;c
-trvity, and tny perpnletio predilections were
once more aroused within me. And fl'imu
iatsd by the pleasing antioipalion ofu.milai
•njoynients, I determined on again suttinj)
forth In 'inarch of the picturesque.’ Afici
some cogitation as to the precise point o
the compass to which 1 should direct mj
vagrant course, I decided on a visit to
•That water-land ofDutchmsn and of ihlchon.'
Holland; aigacionaly thinking, like n Inn
philosopher, that if the unamiable monotony
of'Der Toutscliland' should, by contrast, b<
d ssgreeable to the eye, accustomed, ns wat
mine, to dwell on all that is lovely and ro
manlic in nature—-ike remedy was in inv

A month from my setting out found me, it
pursuance of mv original mention of pene
trating into Westphalia, in the beaut il’u
town of Chcveo, a neat liti o watering plac
in the auciont duchy of that rniim-; having
wandered with a weary heart, but not will

During my auburn in lira neiglibo.hoct
my Itlo was truly pastoral. It wan my cus
tom to wander, accompanied by my ev i
pleasing companion, the heulimmiliil V<>n l l:,
into the doliglulul ncuglibo. liood of (Jlcvic
along the plain or upon the high road, as my
fancy direotod me; ever and anon slopping
by the way, to hold ‘sweet converse’ with the
blooming nymphs at the dootsol their pretty
Arcadian cottages which stood Imre and
there, looking like so many little Puphim
bowers, nti<l giving a pleas ng variety to the
appearance ut thu. harming landscape.
Upon Otic occasion I hud strolled uncon
sciously nut ol my usml latitude, mid being
overtaken by one oflliu o passing showers,
which at that peiiod of tho year, conic and
go in an instant as it were, I betook myoolt
for shelter to a modest looking in us on hy
the way side, (it was somewhat larger than
those which 1 have culled cottages ami there*
lore entitled, I ilmu Id, to bo d gmfiud by the
Tfirm ‘mansion’) having all the appearance of
being inhabited by a person of some conse
quence in the neighhorhooil.
I did not, however, wish to invade the
privacy of the inmates, hut content) d myself
with a seat within the porch. Uni 1 had
beau observed cress ng the lilt o 1 iwn Ironing
tho house, and with that h epilalny lor which
lha Westphalians are bo remarkable, I was
invited bv tbo owner of llie minsion lo'en
4cr Ins Inanely dwelling, and partake of the
homely cheer it afforded.’ This invitation
was communicated to mu by tint owner him
•elf, who conducted me with the must polite
nrbsnity of m inner to ilia parlor, where was
•sated an c dorly female at a table, upon
which were ttic remains of what 1 pre.-umed
was the supper meal. The pleasing (rank
ness of my kind entertainer mule me at once
fed at home, and having concluded my ro
repait, I soon became engaged m deep con
versation with him. Hut let hio say a word
or two in description of this good man. I
think I never in my life beheld u being of
such commanding exterior; his lignre was
erect, Ins siaturc much above the middle stan
dard; Ins countenance and bearing wore rev.
t-rond, imposing and grand, fits hair des
cended upon lus skouldeis in flow ng locks of
snowy whiteness, lor in years ho had evi
dently long since passed the “grand climac
teric;” yet in his eye there still lingered the
lire and vivacity ol youili though Might y tom.

‘fogreo with tho pedantry of the one, or the
often over strained acuteness ot the other yet
*o highly entertaining as to unchain the at
tention of the most ladilicroiit hearer. In
the course of our conversation he informed
mo that he was the Catholic cure ot the lit.
tie village winch by in the adjoining valley,
And oso father confbasor at a convent of
Carmelite nuns in the vicinity.
I had we<*.n so pleasantly engaged—and I
may add instructed—by the charms ol 1 ,i-
Iher Van Bruine’s conversation embellisln d
as it was from the rich stores ol a powerful and
highly cultivated imagination, that the shades
of evening began to full, ere I hail thought
of wending my way homewards 1 therefore
rose to depart, but the good lather kindly
pressed mo to lake up my abode under Ins
roof tor the ifght, as 1 was a stranger to the
neighborhood, and might probably not find
my way in the darkness oi tlie night. "Be

bo ol a romantic disposition, O or wand -r
-ers are mure or less romantically inclin' d,)
may not only afford you some pleasure, Im
furnish a pretty little incident lor u leal in
your note-Book.”
1 did not require much solicitation to ac
cede to Ins request, and, therefore, wi'h a lew
words of acknowledgment, 1 accepted the
invitation, “ihave,” lie said, “a call to make

Though tlio circumstances of a young lady
(Secluding In- self forever from society had
not much the appearance ot what the good

No wonder then, Ui-.t with the iihncßt um

it possessed, I ihelht had an abundance ol lov

surrounding villages, Lot to none did the

tho fond but impatient anticipation of the
happy hour which should unite lam with hu

’ would have lUo'.iglu it impossible! Yet suit
j was, uni tho distracted undo saw before him the

the loss of tbit bio last—bis only hope, Annette,
too, was addressed by n lover, wills die full sane
-1 tion of her uncle, and, ua u was believed, widt
die full approbation of her own heart. What
' then could have actuated the fair eccentric in the
■ formation of this slraugo resolution? I must
leave it to those who are letter acquainted with
die workings of that incomprehensible piece of
! machinery, the human heart, to answer the in
' qniry—l cannot,
I lu dio course of our walk, I could not refrain
! from hinting lo Father Van Uraine, drat I sus
i peeled ho was not wholly innocent of the cause
r of this strange conduct, ss I leant dio infatuated
• girls had been wrought upon, perhaps by some
l of his discourses upon tho imaginniy happiness
i of a life of seclusion ami devotion lo religion ; but
lie firmly yet gently rebuked me, for my uiichar.
B liable supposition, us ho called it, ami declared
h that he always endeavored lo dissuade diem front
I, the step. I then ventured to suggest his using
j the authority hu was supposed to possess as a
_ paslor, to prevent the fair enthusiast from com
u plating her purpose. This, however, he deelitu
ed, as ho said that ho always considered that
when a person made up his mind lo perform a
( j certain net, not inconsistent with morality or re
. ligOn, he ought not to bo authoritatively disuad-
I er’ i it, as he had brought himself to believe
limit ry individual arrived at years ofdiscrelion
'* was, or ought to bo the architect of his ir.vn
happiness.
• We have now arrived at his parishioner's resi
■ deuce which was pleasantly situated on a gentle
eminence near (he entrance to the village, at a
short distance fern the tight of tho road. After
wailing some lime in the parlor, to which my
companion, with the familiarity of a triend had
introduced mo. tlie unhappy uncle entered. 1
could perceive that a deep gloom had settled upon
his manly features, and dial ho had been weeps
iiig. Father Van Uraine having unreduced mo,
entered into conversation with him, which natu
rally ran upon the ceremony of the morrow, 110
informed us, that Annette had gone into the vil,
lage, hh a'circuit among liei neighbors, to hid
thorn her eternal adieu —that ho had again en
deavored to persuade Iter to relinquish Iter inten
tion, ns well for his sako ns for In r own, but no
entreaties could prevail—that ho had bad a vit.il
from her lover, JJcruard Gouho.mer, who was in
a perfect stale ol froiuy, and he much feared, from
some incoherent expressions that fell from him,
, with which tho namo of Isabella’s lover, La-now,
j was coupled, that something unlocked for would
Interrupt tho ceremony of to-morrow. The good |
’ piiest, however, endeavored lo dissipate these j
[ gloomy anticipations, and turned the’ converse- ■
! lion into another channel.
' Annette now entered to prepare her uncle’s j
’ codec, having hid adieu to all her neighbors and ■
f iends. Kite was indeed a lovely iuliu gul, and '
I apparently as iidl ol life and spirits as if llui im- j
-1 p.iriiviit step site was about lo l.iko was 16 he mar. !
nod, and not—-to bo buried alive,
>| On our departure, she laughingly inviti d
■|me to witness the ceremony.— ‘For,” raid]
J site, “I should wish to have os many friends

i | 'i’llat they vvott'd really bo “her lari uto
-1 merits” howi.ttl did the ;; ddy girl then tlnnk
• j—Hut let me not anticipu'C. events.
At an early lo ur it. I c morning 1 wa't-'d
■ | upon the unc Ip hy h:in vo at tun, to ace'ciipa-.
i 1 ny him to th« uonvcit, whither Father V m
j Uraine had preceded us. i found the fornw r

’ i nlenlly passed it weary nip,lit, and it was easy
■ to perceive lltvt it was nut merely tho * eua
> tomnry suited «o'.cmti black hu had put on’'—
i there was a eloepcr gloom at lltu heart. Alter
- the usual salutations, he sank into a profound
1 reverie, Irani which I found it almost a sacred
j duly not to disturb him. The convent bell
aroused hurt, and se zmg rny hand he said, in
Ma tremulous tone, “11. irk! Pour Annette's
i : funeral bell lolls—wo must be going.” I
i | obeyed his motion and wo walked to tho con*
11 vent,
' ! A great number of villagers, and others
i ' from the suru muling country, had assembled
1 ; m the anic-chitmber at tho Convent, but we
1 weto immediately admitted into the g.ib'erv m
y j the chapel, directly in I Vo, t of iho part where
0 j the siu'ttrs were to take liter station during
the ceremony.
, Only two of the novices were aa yet in the
1 chapel, und they strewed the floor with fresh
.. j gathered 11 iw eie, which d ii'ns. d a pleasing
v irugrance throughout the place.
J Soon alter some other preliminary prepara
|, lions, the s tit tonus of the org.tu, stealing
U upon the s list s, "like a May day breaking,”
e and gradually swelling into fullness end
i- grandeur, announced that the ceremonies o!
d tile entrance had begun,
i- | First citnie the Superior of tlta Convent,
i, then the Nuns, according to their order, then
ej the hvo sisters,folb.veJ by the novices, who
, *ia«l not yet completed their probation. The
' sisters were led by two of the nuns to a little
i altar in the centre of the chapel. Each had
; I a lighted taper in her hand, and their dresses
1 j were distinguished by the black hood and the
i white.
1 Imd now an opportunity of seeing Isabel,
i la; she, Imd been twelve months secluded from
; the world, ye I her eye of “liquid blue" had
. j lost none of its intensity; her pallid cheeks,
> j however, showed that the practice of the dub
| teritiei of the Carmelite Order had been eut
; fieient to roh them o( that hloom, which the
; society of ihe world, and nature, and the heart
give to youth. Annette, who had too recent
" ly taken leave of the world, and of the gay
and freshening air it breather,, and who was,
moreover of a more impassioned disposition,
; afforded a striking contrast, by theeunny radi
ance of her eye, and the rosy bloom, on her
1 cheeks; [u her pallid sister.
1 I pass over a description of the imposing
■ ceremonies which were gone through on this
’ occasion—such as the disrobing of tho devo
• tecs of their gay attire, and the spoliation of
1 their beautiful loctis—and will advert to other
and perhaps more interesting oljecis.
1 1 Doth the sincere end sorrowing lovers of
J I these beauteous victims were* present —the
• [ one, in the vain hope of,prevailing on Annet
i tc, even while at the altar, to change her res
r j ulution ; the other to allcir.pt this alno with Id
s' nbclla—or, purhip.', to enjoy the melancholy
• pleasure of seeing her once mere previously
■ ! to her tearing herself from lu« love and he
hope forever.
They ljul placed themselves so as perfect
ly t - see but not to ho seen, entrenching.sliem
selves. each behind « pilar, under one siwi <>f
tho o,afiery, whence they could make a sortie
at the moment they might judge favourable
• for their purpose.
1 Young [mew had been exceedingly ill; and
• in opposition to the advice of Ins medical and
j other friends lie determined, in desperation,
' I to make one, a final effort, to regain the jewel
; his heart had lost. He conceived that Isabel
la’s som ibihly would bp strongly called forth
t by n sight of his present woe-worn appear
, mice, on such an imereti ing occasion. He
. j even sulfered himself to bo deluded hy the
, vain hope that she might at length relent,
i | Vain was that hope !
• j Ho did not know how halo can burn,
In hum is once changed from roll 10.-tcm.
I Rut no ! lam wrong in insinuating that ha
j I trod took possession of Isabella’s heart—That
■ ' heart—a woman’s heart—could not nurture
i j such a feeling. There is no asylum within
i j the gentle bosom of a woman, for so dark n
i 1 passion us that of hatred. It was, nevertho
i less, a strange sentiment that pervaded Isa
’ bollu’a mind; It was something n kinio sel
[ fishnets—an indifference to or a cold contempt
J for ihe outraged fco.ings of him who was once
j her soul’s idol —a wayward determination to
. I follow at any cost, even at the cost oi lier own
1 peace of mind, tins new born impulse of her
altered heart.
Bernard re?ted his hopes on the lively tem
per of Annette, heeling confi lent tinstone of
tier disposition would soon sicken of a mo
nastic life. But he determined to make a
desperate effort to regain her, ere it should be
too laic.
| The sisters having gone through tho accus
j tomed ceremonies, rose from their kneeling
I attitude. They now, after a short pause, re--
i j tired some paces, and threw themselves upon
; the ground at, full length, with their faces to
i the earth Thus humbled to the ground, they
• impressed on it an audible kiss, to express
, their lowliness of spirit, and to signify that
i they had renounced the follies of the world, to
i whose pomp and vanities they were hence
■ forth dead, and the bettor to curry cm this
1 idea, the passing bell tolled, and Tf\o~ sieiers,
thus symbolically buried alive, were covered
with a pall.
The office for the dead was then chanted
to the solemn notes of the organ, assisted by
tho voices of tho nuns. This part cf the
ceremony had a thrilling npd electric effect,
upon mo, and apparently upon the whole as- j
scinbly. I was moved to tears.
At this interesting, and may say awful mo- j
mcnf, ns the sisters were rising from their I
lowly position, and ere yet the strains of the
solemn music had died away, the two lovers
had emerged from their hiding places, and
each placing himself before his adored, and
seising her hand, knell before her in a suppli
cating attitude—but neither uttered a word
tho mute eloquence of their expressive conn,
tenanecr bespoke the purpose of their intnu
sion, and the agitation of their souls.—Alas,
for poor Isabella! notwithstanding her deter
mined resolution, human nature was not yet
quite extinct; the tremor of her delicate frame
showed the fierce contention that was raging
within, and a moment more she had (long
hemelf into the anus of her despairing lover.
I f-ihe turned her weeping eye, as if for nssis
| co, to her sister; but in i’s passage, it met
j tt... admonitory scowl of the superior, which
iat once called back her wavering resolution,
i and covering her marble like face with the veil
j which she had just assumed, sho gently but
firmly repulsed the supplicating youth. As
; lor Annette, tier rejection of Bernard’s attempt
i was decided and abrupt; sho turned her face
: from him altogether, but did not move from
i five spot.
Tho lady abbess was now about to advance,
i when tho youths, who hail tic id for u moment
j as if chained to the earlh, suddenly unbraced,
j nnJ then advancing, rudely seized ti c devoted
fair iiie' v. and in an instant tho helpless maidens
i fell ! Jele-s to tho ground. They had received
i their deal It wounds by the hands of their infa
tuated lovers !
| All was now consternation and confusion —
the biitvi rhrieks of the nuns, together with the
, malcdiciiiins of the priests, and the loud wailings
of dm neighbors, and others of the conuegalion,
■ i were truly agonizing. There lay the beauteous
and bleeding victims of (he uncontrollable pa*.
- stuns 1,-iigtMidetfd by umoqnileJ love. They
r who, but a moment before had lived and breath
j ed the -timed of GouV creation, now jay before
1 us inanimate corpses ! Ths nuns crowding
1 around thorn, bewailing in loud ascents of grief
, their untimely idle, completed the harrowing
interest of n scene, such m I hope I shill never
[ have the misery to see again.
, But what bconino *T lha now trudy bereaved
undo ’ I had watched him closely darin g the
. suolicatory scene between the lovers, and I
I thought 1 saw a stmio of approval and of hope
, light upon his countenance, but when tho lutai
, tragedy was perpetrated, he fell like one dead,
, and for some time 1 was fearful that this painful
scene would be terminated by tho exit of another
’ soul from tho troubled singe of life. During
many weeks ho lingered in a eta c of stupor, and
his attendants were apprehensive that Ills reason
1 would not survive the dreadful shock. He at
- length however, slowly recovered.
The criminals escaped in the confusion.
, Such was the domestic tragedy which occur
'• red, i irlng my sojourn, in the peaceful little
j village of Juliers. As lor tho poor uncle, it was
. a sad and sorrowful day tor him, on lis recovery
he could not endure to leoiain in a neighborhood
which at onto reminded him of by gone happt
’ ness, and kept alive the recollections of his me
lancholy bereavement. He therefore left hi ■ na
tive country for some distant clime.
I learned some time artery*rds, that the bodies
of tho unhappy homicides had been found in u
wood n short distance from Cloves, locked in
each others arms each leaving the sell some in
strument which had drunk the "last life drop
from the bleeding breast” of his ill starred victim,
buried in his own bosom.
liefore leaving that part of the country to pros
eeed on my journey, a promise nad been obtain
ed Irom me by the good father Van Blaine,
whose truly benevolent heart was greatly afflict
ed by the distressing event which 1 have related,
to repeat my visit, a promise which I afterwards
performed; and from him I gleaned seme inci
