I felt an enthuxinstic admiration of Miss Wallraven; but it was pre‘ cisely the sort of admiration one would feel at suddenly beholding some marvelous masterpiece of na- ture or of artâ€"«some richly, gorge- ously beautiful (treat-ion, whose very exist/3r): seemed a. wonder. “Queen of Egypt,” “Cleopatra,” “Night,” “Starlight,” all things darkly splendid, grandly beautiful, seem- ed parallels for her. Gazing on her, 'And 'all that’s best of dark and bright Meet in her aspect and her eyes.” After supper we returned to the old \ra‘inscoted hall; more logs were thrown on the blazing fire, and we gathered around it. The evening passed pleasantly, with conversation, music, etc. At eicven o’clock we separated for the night, and Wolfgang himself at- tended me to my room. It was in the second story. In keeping with all in the house, it- was an Oldâ€" fashiuned apartment, the two prinâ€" cilrnl features being a large tent bedstead hung with darklvgreen da- mask, and a. wide fireâ€"place, in “hich burned and glowed that inâ€" mitahle country blessing, a good wuod fire. .n.

Suddenly I awoke with a start! it seemed to me that I had been aroused as by the shock of a galâ€" vauie battery. I trembled even af- ter I was awake as with a vague terror, of which I should ha\e felt ashamed had I not ascribed it to hot supper and the nightmare. I looked around the room and upon the beautiful picture. The fire was burning down low, and the flame flashed up and down upon the op~ posite portrait, giving a convulsive emotion to the features, as of sob- bing. I looked at the sorrowful sobbing face with a feeling of deep pity, as though it had been the live lug sufferer that it seemed. There was such an indescribable look of life, love, anguish, on the beautiful features, I felt a dreamy, mysteri- ous. but intense desire to wipe away the tears from that pictured face. It was a good while before I could get to sleep. That beauti- ful countenance, silently convulscd in the firelight, fascinated me. [i I determinedly closed my eyes, they would fly open again, and fix upon the pictured sufferer. Nay, even when my eyes were closed, the loveâ€" ly face still present to my mind, and it seemed to me to be heartless to go to sleep with such an image of beauty, love. and sorrow before me I was too imaginative.

I was in fact dreadfully wearied our. and, as soon as he had left me, I threw off my clothes, blew out the candle, and jumped into bed. I could not sleep.

Yes! it was not; a face to be passed over with mere admiration, however ardent that admiration might. beâ€"it was a. face to be adored; and as I gazed upon its heavenly loveliness, something like religious devotion moved in my bosom, and almost impelled me to kneel before that image of diâ€" lviue beauty, love and sorrozv.

He quickly succeeded in mastering and bearing her out, of the room. Soon he came softly back. I was lying still; he evidently inferred that I was asleep; for, after throwâ€" ing a quick penetrating glance at me, and lodging hurriedly around the chamber, he silently retired, cautiously closing the door after him. You may judge that I slept no more that night. I scarcely knew with certainty at what point to sep- arate my ginster dream from the myst- l'iUIlS reality; and doubts, and oven anxious fears agitate-d me. Who was that malign old hag?
