It was there that- ltfeâ€"â€"that isthe life of citiesâ€"first broke upon me in all its brilliant hollowncss; and yet what do I know? Is there more real honesty beside the plow or in the vineyard? Well, no matter, man to man all the world over, but it was not as Mu- nich that i first learned all the treachery of which man is capable. It was there that 1 passed some of my happiest hours, and there too, that 1 died.’ ‘Dicdl’ I exclaimed, doubtful whether I had heard aright. ‘ Yes, died,’ replied the old gen- tleman, in a calm matter-of-fact tone, so that when i had opened myl I eyes to the full extent allowed by the School of Design to depict the pas- sion of wonderment, and had asked] myself two or three times wlicther' he could possibly mean that he had dyed his whiskers there,or had real- ly talked himself into such an auto-. biographical state, that he thought it necessary to bring the narrative down to his otvn dccease, I came to! the conclusion that my Old friendl was doting. [ ‘I suppose you speak metaphori~ cally E" I suggested. ‘Not a bit of it. I can under- stand that you should be surprised when i say that I died. But it is a fact, literal, posuive, and unquali- fied, at least. But, not to spoil a good story, suppose I begin at the beginning.’ Now is it not pleasant to hear an old man talk of his youth? is itl not good for us Who are entering oul' life to learn from one who is leaving ill With one foot in the grave, how calm is the far view he can take of the days of his strength, with all its self-satislaction, its l worldliness,'and disappointments.â€" How complete is his experienceâ€"â€" how valuable the lesson long since drawn and followed, now recalled and preached. So then i listened‘. It is fortv'years siuccl Went to Munich. I was attache to the cm- bassv of that deal Lord E. * , the most popular, because the most amiable and liveliest minister that Bavaria has, perhaps, ever known. I had been turned out into this post from Oxford at one-andatwenty, and had not so much as scan a single London season.‘ My father’s seat, Eton, and the University was all I knew of life. and how little is that! i can say now without vanity, that ‘ l was handsome and distinguished. Besides this, 1 Was very ardent and rather romantic, and I had not been three months in Munich before 1 Was in l0veâ€"-yes, desperately it) love, with Ida Von Frankenstein, a young countess with a large fortune, and justly the Queen of Beauty in the Bavarian capital. [do was not Vain, but she was a flirt, and therefore, by- a common rule of the heart, When she learned from my Silent devotion that my at- tachment was no more admiration. of which she had so much, and mere than enough, in the ball-rooms of. the gay capital, she conceived for me a deep passionate affection. But Ida, being a flirt, never showed it. By no act, word, or look could I ever discover that she gave to me one thought more than to the most insignificant of the young fats who laughed and danced and flirted with her. queen in every respect, and she was determined that i should offer my homage submissively. Besides this, she was very clever and full of a brilliant, satirical wit, which some- times wounded, though lam certain that her heart was too generous and good to hurt another’s will- ingly. Like all monarchs, she felt herself privileged, and believed that it was as easy for her to heal with a mere smile, as to wound with a mere word. . I say I never guessed that she cared the least for me, but had I been more than the simple boy i was. I might have discovered it, for by a series of artifices she con- trived to draw me on first into a deeper passion, next into jealousy. To do this without repulsing me eu- tircly, to excite my fears without destroyingmy hopes, she selected a young officer, of whom certainly I had little cause to be jealous; for. though rather handsome, and very fashionable, he was so intensely vain, and so tiresomer heavy, that Often she, had delighted me with her clever mimicry of his absurdities. And yet I Was jealous, even to hopelessnessâ€"but then was I not jealous of the Very rose she held iti her fair hand? It was a terrible ‘winter at Mu- nich, where every winter is fright- fully severe. and l was not strong. I was beginning to suffer from the intense cold, and Ida’s conduct brought suffering of another kind ; I was growing rapidly ill ; I lost my buoyant spirits ufyore, which the novelty of this brilliant life of the Carnival season had brought out and elated beyond nature’s bounds. My love had taken a firm grip of me. I had but that one ideaâ€"that one face only haunted me by day and. night. 1 never slept. I was never calm for ten minutes. My morning walks were all taken in that quarter where I knewâ€"for love knows so much by instinctâ€"that she would be. My evenings were devoted to meeting her, whether a ball, soiree, or com- mon reception. It is true that she always kept a place for me by her side, that while the heavy Stock- enhcim was occupied with elaborat- ing some stupid compliment on the other side, she would turn to me with some flow of wit, which the officer strove to catch, and when caught, passed ten minutes in at- tempting to understand. It is true thatl saw and knew all this, and yet I was jealousâ€"and the more so because I adopted the world’s nar- row rcasoning, and said to myself, ‘ This very conduct is a proof of her indifference. If she cared one atom for, me, it is not in this way she Would show its’ And she did not show it. She seemed to keep me, as it were, for her companion, be- cause‘l was clever and quicker than the reelâ€"but i knew that the heart has no rules, and that a woman may be fascinated by mind, but is bound by some sympathy which she cannot explain. ’I‘hus‘l went on for some time.â€" Beside herl lived, but when away from her one moment a strange de- pression came over me. and the idea daily ggrew upon me, thatI should soon‘s-ii'ik under the excitement of this terrible passion. It was, there- fore, that ldrcadcd more than death to disclose my love. I felt that a refusal would kill me at once, and this dread grew upon me so feara fully that for hours I would lie on VOGATE AND ADVERTISER. I r r W/WAMWV RICHMOND HILL, FRIDAY, JUNE 20.

Of course I went to a doctor, for I would not confess to myself that there was no other dis- ease in me than my hidden passion. The man of drugs shook his head, saw through me partly, and recomi mended change of scene. Inever went near him again. One evening I met Ida at the Duchess of D "' ’s. Ihad grown daily more excited, and every dayl had imagined that she seemed to understand me more. I was now almOst beyond self-government, and she Was wonderfully kind.

It is your last chance.’ And with that l fled. For a week i lay on my bed,more dead than living; 1 nursed my grief, my rage, my despair, and every hour brought me lower. One or two friends came to see me, and one of themâ€"one of those kind, charitable beings who always take care to tell you the news you least wish to liearébrought‘lhe intelli- gence one morning that Ida was en- gaged to Slockenhcim. ‘I will not believe it,’ I cried, heping against hope, and roused from despair by this new blow. ‘I Will‘go and judge for myself.’ My vehcmcncc gave me an on- natural strength. 1 dressed rapidly, and in spite of the enlreaties of my faithful valet, who seemed truly at- tached to me, and had nursed me carefully during that terrible week, I rushed out and arrived at the door of the Frankensteins’ hotel. I asked for Madame la Comtesse first, anl when she was denied, boldly demanded admittance to see her daughter. The astonished porter assured meâ€"aud I thought I saw a liein his faceâ€"“that not'one of the family was at home. I ttirned'away in misery, and by one of those fatalities so common in life, Stockenheim at that mo- ment loungcd listlessly up; [bowed stifiy to him, and crossing the street, watched him. He was ad- mitted, and there was now no doubt. I > That day I lay in a fearful state. For hours I was unconscious. I was afterward told the doctor had come and pronounced me in danger. I knew it well myself. I felt so powerless, so downstricke‘n, that I could not hope to survive. Toward night, however, I re- COvered a little. I became consciâ€" nus. But I lay without a move- ment, with one hand stretched upon the counterpane, cold as ice. The first thtugl i'eCOgniZed was some- thing warm beneath this hand. It was the broad muzzle of my dear old dog Caesar, who had watched beside my bed, fearful to disturb me, and now, by that wonderful iii- stinct whtch God gives the dog that he may be man’s friend, had per- ceived that I was conscious, and quietly assured me thus of his pre- sence and love. . I tried to speak, and in low, gorge ling sounds I bade my valet be kind to poor Caesai. _ ‘I am dying, Karl.’ I said. ‘1 knva can not live over to-night. You have been a faithful servant, and to you Ileave all that belongs to me in the way of personal proâ€" perty. In return, you must take care of the dog. Neverleave him; promise you will not.- Andâ€"and witenII am goneâ€"you must write homeland tell them all.’ I could say no more, for] felt death was stealing fast upon me. t eternity l I had been gay, indif- ferent. thoughtless.

I was too weak to prayâ€"I could only dreadâ€"and gra- dually my thoughts grew dimmer and dimmer.- My memory passed; i felt that life was going from me. It was dreadful. I struggled to keep it.

I had none. lf death be what lsuf- fercd, or rather underwent, then the soul must be asleep or unconscious. i know not. I am a Christian. and not a Sadduoee. What I did feel, however, when feeling returned, i will tell you. At first it was an icy coldness, far sur- passing any winter cliill that you can imagine; no outer cold, but a complete absence of warmth, within as well as without, even in the breath of my nostrils. Still I felt it most in my hands and feet.â€" My next sensation was one of utter powerlessness, and that too of will as well as of muscle. I sayâ€"I was conscious of existence-but there was no thought in my mind, no movement in my body. My heart may have beat, probably it did so, but I knew it not. I scarcely even felt the breath pass through my open mouth, and as much asI did feel was cold and heavy. I say I Was conscious. But that was all.â€" 1 might have been dead. This might have been the grave. I knew not. All thoughtâ€"all memory Was gone. Then little by little my feeling grew sharper. I felt the cold more keenly still, and it was frightful agony. Then, too, 1 felt a strange pain in my stomach, as if it was shriveled up. ( To be continued.) A TOUGH STORY WELL TOLD The Yorktown Correspondent of the New York Tribune tells the fol- lowing story of a ‘potting’ skirs mish between a Federal and a Con- federate soldier 2-; A number of instances of person- al daring are related. characteristic of the Maine regiment. During the first day's skirmish on our right, tWO soldiers, one from Maine, the other from Georgia, posted thema selves each behind a tree, and in- dulged in sundry shots without ef- fect on either side, at the same time keeping up a lively chat. Finally, that getting a little tedious, Georgia calls out to Maine : ‘ Give me a show,’ meaning step out and give me an opportunity to hit. Maine, in response, pokes out his head a few inches, and Georgia cracks away and misses. ‘Too higii,’ says Maine; ‘now give me a show.’ Georgia pokes out his head, and Maine blazes away. ‘ Too low,’ sings Georgia. In this way the two alternated several times without hitting.â€" Finally, Maine sends a ball so as to graze the tree within an inch ortwo of the ear of Georgia. ‘ Cease firing.’ shouts Georgia. ‘ Cease it is,’ responds Maine. , ‘Look here,’ says one, ‘we’vc carried on this business long enough for one day.’ ‘ S’pose we adjourn for rations?’ ‘ Agreed,’ says the other. And so the two marched away in different directions, one whistling ‘ Yankee Doodle,’ the other ‘ Dixie.’ A ReVerend Sportsman Rebuked.-â€"â€"A reverend sportsman was once boasting of his infalliable skill in finding a bare. ‘ If’ said a Quaker who was present, ‘ I Were a bare, i would take my seat in a place where I should be sure not to be disturbed The man bent over me,and wept. from the first of January to the last of De- like a child amidst his promises.

There are some occasions, such as this night, when all preven» tion or treatment is useless: but in all ordinary cases, if in dread OfSICke ness, lie down on the back at least a quarter of an hour before the yes" sel starts. No posmon but that 'of recumbency on the back will d'M“ Let head, body and back becomc‘as’ it were part of the vessel, partici- paling in its motion without any ‘ muscular effort. This precaution is, often of itself sufficient. It Will be of little use to assume this position after the sickness has commenced. It must be beforehand. Two years ago I met, at Naples, a gentleman about to embark, who said he could not describe the agony he endured in the best weather. I told him to" go to his berth while the vessel wall still at anchor, to lie on his back and shut his eyes, on no account to turn on his side. He took my advrce; and 'next morning, when we cast anchor at Civita Vecchia, he came on deck with joy in his'face to tell me that, for the first time in his life he passed through a voyage without ’ being sick. lfthe sickness come on, neither eat food her drink soup, nor. anything of the sort. The stomach,- once it begins to go, Will neither be equal to solid or fluid food, and, as the shortest means of gettingrid of it, sends it back as it; but drink plenty of plain water, iced if you: can getit; when, after some time, you begin to feel that you can think of swallowing, then take a little champagne and water, or son with I cayenne pepper, and you wil soon feel comfortableâ€"eDr. Corrig‘an. How IT is DONE.â€"â€"VVe lately visited a Chinese tea-dealer's eslaé blishment, says the San Francisco, Morning Call. where they were en- gaged in finishing up green teas for" the market, and drying and re-drcu- ing black tea which had been wet by the flood at Sacramento. The black teas were simply dried rapidly over a charcoal fire upon broad cir'd cular trays with bortoms of finer split and braided cane. While try- ing, it was recurled by hand, and was then ready for rte-packing. The green teas wcrddi'ied in the same way, and then finished with a pre3 paration of Prussian blue and Glens field starch, giving it a pearly-green color. A substance was also added, the name of which we could not learn, to give it the fine ‘boquet’ or aroma so valued by tea-fanciers.â€"= We took up some of the fine coma pound, and said to John, who stood at our elbow t , ‘ Do you know that this is poison ?’ ‘ Oh, yes 1’ was his reply, ‘ me know him poison, but Melican man want him zis color.’ And such is the fact. There is poison enough in a single ounce of this green tea to kill a man, if taken at once. ‘ Tea tasters’ employed in the custom-house soon sink into the grave from the effects of this slow poison. \Vhen the late King of Denmark has in England he very i'rethently honored Sir Thomas Robinson with his company, though the knight spoke French in a very imperfect manner, and the king had scarce any knowledge of English.
