CHAPTER XIV. LOVE-THOUGHTS.

A DREaD feeling is jealousy, mortified vanity, or whatever you may designate the disappointment of love. I have ex- perienced the sting of shame, the blight of broken fortune, the fear of death it- self; yet none of these ever wruug my heart so rudely as the pang of an un- reciprocated passion. The former are but transient trials, and their bitterness | soon has an end. Jealousy, like the | tooth of a serpent, leaves its poison in| the sting, and long and slow is the heal-| ing ot its wound. Well knew he this, | that master of the human heart: Iago’s| prayer was not meant for mockery.

To drown my _ mortification, I) had drunk wine freely at the ball ;| and on returning home, had tinued my potations with the more fiery | spirit of “Catalan.” By this means 1} gained relief and sleep, but only a short | duration. Long before day I was awake | —awake to the double bitterness of} jealousy and shame -awake to both meutal and physical pain, for the fumes of the vile stuff I had drunk wracked my brain, as though they would burst open my skull. An ounce of opium would not have set me to sleep again, avd [| tossed in my couch like oue laboring | under deliriam.

Of course the incidents of the pre- ceeding vight were uppermost in my mind. Every scene aud action that had | oceurred, were as plainly before me, as if I was again witnessing them. Every effort to alienate my thoughts,aud fix them upon some other theme, proved vain aud idle; they ever returned to the same circle of reflections, in the centre of which was Isolina de Vargas! I thought of all that had passed, of all she had said. I remember every word. How bitterly I remembered that scorntul laugh! — how bitterly that sarcastic | smile, when the double mask was re-| moved !

The very remembrance of her beauty pained me! It was now to meas to fantalus the erystal waters, never to be tasted. Before I had formed hopes, had indulged in prospective dreams: the masquerade adventure had dissipated them. I ne longer hoped, no longer per- mitted myself to dream of pleasant times to come: I felt that I was scorned.

This feeling produced a momentary revulsion in my thoughts. There were moments when | hated her, and vengeful impulses careered across my soul.

These were fleeting moments: again before me rose that lovely form, that proud grand spirit, iu the full entiraty of its power, aod agaiu my soul became absorbed in admiration, and yielded it- self to its hopeless passion. It was far from being my first love, and, thus ex- perienced, [ could reason upon it. I felt sure it was to be the strongest and sterm- iest of my life.

[ know of three loves distinct in kind and power. First, when the passion is reciprocaed— when the heart of the beloved yields back thought for thought, and throb for throb, without one reserved pulsation. This is bliss upon earth—not always long-lived—ending perchance in a species of sublimated friendship. To have is no longer to desire.

The second is love entirely unrequited —love that never knew word or smile of encouragement, no soft whisper to fan it inte flame, vo ray of hope to feed upon. Such dies of inanition, the sooner that its object is out of the way, the absence wiil conquer it in time.

The third is the love that “ dotes yet doubt«,” that doubts but never dies— | no, never. The jealousy that pains, only sustains it; it lives on, wow happy in the honeyed conviction of | triumph, now smarting under real or | fancied scorn—on, on, so long as its object is accessible to sight and hearing ! No matter how worthless that object

may be or become—:o matter how lost or fallen; love regards not this. It has) naught to do with the moral part of our| nature. Beauty is the shrine of its wor- | ship, and beauty is vot morality.

In my own mind, I am conscious of | three elements or classes of feeling ; the moral, the intellectual, and what T may term the passional—the last as distinct from either of the other two as oil from spirits or water. To the last belongs love, which I repeat again, has no sym- pathy with the moral feelings of our uature, but alas! as one might almost believe with their opposite. Even a plain but wicked coquette will Captivate more hearts than a bean- tiful saint, and the brilllant murderess, ere now, has made conquests at the very toot of the scaffold!

_It pains me to pronounce these con- Victions, derived as they are from expe- rieuce. There is as little gain as pleasure in so doing, but popularity must be sacrificed at the shrine of truth. For the sake of effect, I shall not play false with philosophy.
