PADMANI’S SONG.

Who will be with thee at the rest of Even (Those sacred hours, so tranquil and so lone), Gazing with thee upon the dark’ning heaven, Breathing soft thoughts by tender impulse given, When I am gone?

Who will be with thee by the murmuring fountain, List’ning to the mellow Jorn at distance blown ; Or sigh of breeze awaking on the mountain, Or the wild night-bird all his bliss reevunting, When I am gone?

Day, active dey, its aspect ever changing, With hopes pursued, or needful duties done,

Will lure thro’ varied scenes thy spirit rangi ‘Tiny basy thanighte-awhilée frome eminent =

When [ am gone.

But thou wilt miss me in the evening’s leisure, When all the hopes and cares of day have flown ; Who then for thoe will search out fancy’s treasure, Or sing to thee in strain of tranquil pleasure, When I am gone ?

Be happy in the day’s meridian splendor ; Take up each flower that on thy path is strown ; But still at eve to me thy heart surrender ; Call Back our love in mem'ry trae and tender; When I am gone.

FROM THE GERMAN OF FERDINAND STOLLE.

( Concluded.)

Never have 1 passed two more irksome hours than those that elapsed before bedtime came. The counsellor proposed a cigar. I caught at the idea. With a glowing Havannak in my mouth, | felt as if I should be safer from the assaults of that cobra de capello, or whatever else it was, that Oken kept

beside her, like a greyhound in leash, ready to let upon her game. I yowed to myself to smoke the beast to death if

possible. Again I was to be balked.

‘* Bless me, papa !”’ cried the naturalist, ‘ you forget that my petcannot bear smoke. Can you?’’ she said, raising to my infinite alarm, the lid of the snake-inhabited hamper.

‘* Trae, my dear,” placidly replicd her father, « { did not think of it; and, turning to me, ‘ Excuse, me, my dear friend, he added, ‘** but the little animal really cannot endure tobacco.”’

It is bad enough to be henpecked, but to be chickpecked, to be the slaves of three daughters, and they possessed of the devil, appeared to me the lowest depth of human degradation. So, because a wretched viper objected to the fragrant vapour of a cigar, I was to be deprived of my after-supper smoke. For a moment my impulse was to kick the counsellor, jump upon the basket, and bolt from the house ; but calmer thoughts succeeded, and I sat resigned, merely secretly wishing that Oken

_and the snake were sitting ¢ete-a-tete in a Libyian desert or a

Louisiana swamp, and that I was a hundred leagues from Wiesenthal. I had suffered sf? much all day that my moral energy was completely gone. I was overwhelmed by the rapid succession of unpleasant events. I started at every noise, ex- pecting to see Nimrod or Dieffenbach, or both of them, enter the room and perpetrate some fresh assault upon me. Nimrod would of course begin snuffing the candles with pistol-balls; and Dieffenbach, as soon as she observed my state of nervous excitement, would insist upon blisters and mustard-plasters, and perhaps upon a little more phlebotomy. Hitherto I had but one sister at a time to deal with. But if they formed a triple alliance, and set upon me in concert, [ was lost, without hope ef rescue. Fortunately neither of the elder sisters made their appearance, and at last the youngest, to my great relief, took up her basket and de vind No sooner was she gone than Frager, according to his custom, tried to remoye the disagreeable impreggion she had made upon me. One got ac- i d, to het Strange tastes and aearype pets, and when o was married she would give up her researches in natural history, and settle down into an ex- cellent wife. I was quite sick of the simple old creature's in- fatuation and apologies, and begged to be allowed to go to bed. ‘« At last,”’ said [ to myself, on finding myself alone in my room, ** I shall have a little repose after the heat and burthen of the day, after all my dangers and adventures.”’ So tired was I that I immediately undressed, blew out the lighgs and | sought my bed. Pulling back the clothes, I stepped in, and | much more hastily jumped out again. I had come upon some hard substance which moved between the sheets. If I was not greatly mistaken, it was.a live tortoise. Whilst I de- liberated whether I should ery murder, sicep on the sofa, or dress and leave the house, something bit my great toe with! such yiolence that I actually yelled with agony.

‘* All three?’’

‘* All three. Notwithstanding our rather masculine tastes, we are women at heart.’’

‘*1 am glad to hear it.’’

‘* Are you? And surprised, too, apparently. Well, never mind ; you will learn to know us better. But our father, kind aud indulgent though he be, isa great deal too practical in love matters. Ife thinks too much about what he calls « goed matches,’ and unfortunately the men of our choice do not come under that head. One is a lieutenant with nothing but his pay, the other a clergyman without a living, the third an artist, whose pictures nobody buys.”’

‘May I yenture to inquire waich of the three the beautiful Louisa has honoured with her preference ?”’

‘* The clergyman.”’

‘* The clergyman !’’ I repeated, perfectly astonished.

‘You think me rather too wild to be a parson’s wife ?”’

** Well,”’ L replied, as her sharp-shooting exploits recurred to my mind, ‘* A preacher of peace and a daring sports- woman—’’

‘* Love levels everything,’’ returned Louisa, with enchanting frankness. ‘* And do you think I cannot be gentle when t please ?””

‘*T think that to ycu nothing is impossible.”

‘ When itis to pleasure him—nothing !’* she answered, with atouch of the oid Nimrod energy. The next instant the woman resumed the ascendant. She cast down her eyes, and blushed divinely at the confession that had eseaped her. Then, recovering herself: ‘* Not a word, | entreat, to my father of

my ankle. I began to hunt about for the matech-box, that I might at least see my enomies. I sought in vain, and was quite unable to conjecture the nature of the monsters that, during my search, pinched, bit and stung, and assailed me in every conceivable manner. Once or twice I trod with my bare foot on hideous reptiles, whose cold slimy touch made me leap into the air. My capers would doubtless have diverted any who saw them, but to me it was no laughing matter. No martyr of ancient times or victim of the vehm-gericht ever suffered more than I did in that chamber of horrors, The monsters that congregate on the bottom of the sea can hardly surpass in variety the inmates of that room. The darkness and my excited imagination further embellished them. Pre- sently [ heard a hiss. ‘* A snake, by all that’s horrible!”’ said I to myself,“ about to coil around and devour me.”” And

Several large boxes which stood upon it were opened by the fall, and I im- mediately perceived a great increase of animation around me. I continued to storm like alanatic. It was all one to me whether anybody in the house slept or not. The awful row I kept up at last roused the counsellor, who made his appearance in his dressing-zown, candle in hand. He at once saw the cause of the disturbance.

‘* Hang the girl !’’ he cried ; ‘‘ she will soon fill the whole house with her zoological collection.’’

I now had to tell my new friend about my love affairs, and 1ow it was that I found myself nearly in the same position as herself, since my uncle had no idea of my attachment to Minnie, the poor widow’s daughter. To make a long stury short, I was introduced over again to Dieffenhach, who no longer menaced my masticators, or flourished a lancet, and to Oken, now unaccompanied by her viper, and I found the three sisters as amiable as [ the day before had thought them detestable. i was obliged to promise to remain a few days longer at Wiesonthal. ‘To confirm our alliance, prove my forgiveness, and heap coals of fire upon the heads of my tormentors, I | volunteered to undertake the delicate task of intereeding with the counsellor, and declared that I would not leaye the house until he had given his consent to his daughters’ marriage with the men they preferred. Upon receiving this promise, the sisters were near killing me with kindness and caresses. It was no small thing [ had pledged myself to perform, but, thus encouraged, I felt myself equal to any difficulty. We helda council of war, and that same day the siege began. I worked hard in the trenches, was repeatedly under fire, and had to re- pel several smart sortics.
