THE OLVOTEKH. *0 Love! whnt in it in ihw world of ourt Which mak«rn it fatal to be luvod? Ah! why With cypr<*u branches lias* thou wronth d ih> bovvWiV Byron. 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 oven possession. * * ♦ » * 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 dsiapouUed feelings, through ih.t country o fugs and bops, and vapors, tho laud of diltet bud Dutchmen; wliOr-e only virion ,e chanh ness —whose only gods are Mercury and Plums and whoso only ut’(juaiiit»m:e 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. pared Willi I lie frigidity of declining age, 11 1 -j ponversation sliowe'l imp to be a eobolur mid a man of the world, unimxcd in tho smallest ‘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 sides,” said lie, ‘‘l have something in the way ofan adventure for you, which, an you ap; carlo 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 at the house of one of my parishionets width* rr i shall be happy tube ftccoiwpanud by yen.

Though tlio circumstances of a young lady (Secluding In- self forever from society had not much the appearance ot what the good priest called an adventure, it was an incident in itself sufficiently interest hi - to awaken my curiosity, and I agreed to accompany my ho it on his visit to Ids parishioner, 0,..u also to wv. > nesa the con m my.

And in this hope e he was somewhat strengthened by the circum y Blanco of dm difference of disposition between die ij (wo sisters, Isabella was rather of a pensive citst i, ami had, if it may bo to taid, u bias io seclusion, ,j with iho supposed excitement of a lender Uisap. poinlineni. Hut, that AnncUo, the gay, the live. , ly Annette, eltonld forsake Iho gaieties of the , world, for the gloomy cloisters of a convent,—one ’ would have lUo'.iglu it impossible! Yet suit j was, uni tho distracted undo saw before him the I utter extinction of nil his domestic comforts, in 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 ii a- pitas.bin lo atieud me in my last moments'.

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 dent", which may probably (by leave of the kind public) from tbe subject of a future ‘Chaplet from my Note Hook.’ New ami Fresh Imported Dry Goods, j j p AS, ASI) EKSON <fe Co. have just icceivod tV from Liverpool, direct, the following Dry Goods, I i which they oiler for sale on their usual low terms ! lor cash, v iz: I t pieces 4 4 black, white, and assorted colors plaid .
