LITERATURE.

| PALINGENESIS,

I lay upon the headland height, and listened To the incessant sobbing of the sea In caverns under me, | And watched the waves, that tossed and fled and glistened, Until the rolling meadows cf amethyst Melted away in mist.

Then suddenly, as one from sleep, I atarted ; For round about me all the sunny capes Seemed peopled with the shapes Of those whom I have known in days departed, Apparelled in the loveliness which gleams On faces seer in dreams.

A moment only, and the light and glory

Faded away, and the disconsolate shore Stood lonely as before ;

And the wild roses of the promontory

Around me shuddered in the wind, and shed Their petals of pale red.

There was an old belief that in the embers

Of all things their primordial form exists, And cunning alchymists

Could recreate the rose with al! its members

From its own ashes, but without the bloom, Without the lost perfume.

Ah, me! what wonder-working, occult science

Can from the ashes in our hearts once more The rose of youth restore ?

What craft of alchemy can bid defiance

To time and change, and for a single heur Renew the phantom-flower ?

“Oh, give me back,” I cried, * the vanished splen- dors, The breath of morn, and the exultant strife, When the swift stream of life Bounds o'er its rocky channel, and surrenders The pond, with all its lilies, for the leap Into the unknown deep!”

Aud the sea answered, With a jamentation, Like some old prophet wailing, and it suid,

** Alas! thy youth is dead ! It breathes no more, its heart has no pulsation In the dark places with the dead of old

It lies forever cold!”

Then said I, ‘ From its consecrated cerements I will not drag this sacred dust again, Only to give me pain ; But, still remembering all the lost endearments, Go on my way, like one who looks efore,

And turns to weep no more.”

Into what lands of harvests, what plantations

| Bright with antumnal foliage and the glow

| Of sunsets turning low ;

| Beneath what midnight skies, whose constellations Light up the spacions avennes between

This world aud the unaen !

Amid what friendly greetings und caresses,

} What bonseholds, though not alien, yet not mine, What bowers of rest divine}: | To wiat temptations in lone wild rnesses,

| What famine of the heart, what pain and loss, The bearing of what cross !

I do not know ; nor will I vainly question

| Those pages of the mysiie book which hold

The story stiff afitold,

But without rash conjecture or suggestion

j Forn its last leaves in reverence and good beed, } Uulii “ The End” I read. }

MAD SAVANT.

| ‘Just take a look in here before you go, | my dear English friend, at No. 45; it is a |curious case; and presently over our wine

, | Per “Light Boat” from Boston, and |" the balcony I will tell you the story,

isaid Dr. Frochot, the famous mad doctor ot Berlin, to me, with professional sang froid The doctor, as he spoke, slid aside the little round piece ot brass that hid a glazed aper- ture in the wall, aud then took an elaborate pinch of snuff, while L looked through it into the cell of No. 45. It was a email, bare room, with vo furniture but a trestle- bed, one chair, and a small triangular table. At this table sat a tall, thin, gray-baired wan, with a vacant, care-worn face, who was busy counting a heap of those round, prismatic pieces of glass that are used as ornaments to chandeliers, Having counted them some twenty times over, be proceeded to breathe on each of them, and then, one by one, to rub them, and hold them to the light. Suddenly he rose, drew himself to bis full length, struck his forehead, as if he was in pain there, or as if some momentary flash of reason had lighted up bis mind, then gave a loud shriek, and fell iu a swoon upon the fluor.

I replaced the brass slide with an invo- luotary sigh. ‘He has swooned; should be uot have help, Dr. Frochot ?’ said 1 to my friend the mad doctor.

‘No; he is often so,’ replied the imper- turbable doctor; * he will be better when he comes to. We never visit patients but at regular hours, If we were ulways visiting patients, what time should we poor doctors have for ourselves ?’

Some ten minutes later, the doctor and myself were seated in the balcony of one o! the pleasantest houses in Berlin, watching the little heart-shaped leaves of the lime- trees waver and flutter in the street below, as we smoked our cigars and sipped our Hocheimer. It was a quiet street in the suburbs, and that part of the house where the patient was confiued was fur away from us, and separated from the quarter that the doctor inhabited by a large garden, and ibus no groan or shriek could reach us. A pale, fat man, a recovered patient, waited on us, and the children from time to time ran out to us, laughing and shouting, from the inner rooms. As it began to get dusk, and the air grew cooler, and the first star sparkled over the General Graufenclau’s house oppo- site, the doctor, planting one foot on the upper ledge of the baleouy, and resting the other on a chiua gardeu-seat, began his story :

You must know, my dear English friend, that in 1512—thatis to say, exactly eighteen years ago—I, then a mere lad, accompanied the Freuch army to Russia. 1 was surgeoo jf Davoust’s corps, and was often in the 'Emperor’s tent. No. 45 —then a well- |known astronomer in Berlin — was also with the Grand Army, having been ex- pressly commanded by Napoleon to make vb-ervations on the climate of Russia, aud to record its variations. His name was Krauizer, and he was well known at that time in Berlin as an acute observer of great jindustry and sagacity, but of an envious

,and avaricious spirit, that bad led him to’!

But let me delay for a mamont, my dear English friend, to recall the glories of that | vast army of three bundred thousand men ‘that crossed into Russia.

me, who had beheld that army pass her cot- tage. She described Napoleon as sitting on ber small table, alternately consulting his maps, and cutting huge slices from a loaf ‘that lay on the table. All his marshals were round bim, and al] day the troops moved past the doorway in dusty columns. The country girls were peeping in at the window, to catch a glimpse of the Emperor. ‘ Why do you look at me?’ he said good- naturedly to one of the prettiest, chucking her under the chin as he spoke. ‘Iam a poor little fellow. Look at these fine tell fellows’ (pointing to Davoust and Murat). The old woman who told me this had a head that kept nodding with the palsy; and it took one years back to fancy her young, graceful, and pretty. But that little story recalled to my mind how our army looked when we arrived at Gjat, just before the affair at Borodino.

We all know what happened then, The Emperor rose at three in the morning. called for a glass of punch, sent Rapp for the reports, and transacted business with Berthier till five; then mounted on horse- back, and ordered the drums to beat and the trumpets to sound. ‘It is the enthu- siasm of Austerlitz,’ he said as he rode for- ward, and the troops began to cheer. We lost ten thousand men, the Russians fifteen thousard ; but, a few days after, the Kus- sians retreated, and we advanced straight on Moscow.

I dare say you have read a dozen times about this famous battle, but I cannot re- sist—pardon an old soldier—briefly remind- ing you of its chief points, The Russians were in a strong position, strengthened by field-works ; their right flank rested on an entrenched wood; a brook running through a deep ravine covered their right wing’; from the village of Borodino the left ex- tended to Lemonskoie, another village, pro- tected by ravines and thickets in front, se- cured by redoub's and batteries; while in the centre, on an elevation, rose a double battery, that commanded the whole liue.

Davoust wanted to turn their left, but Napoleon thought the plan too dangerous. Poniatowski therefore attacked their right 'and centre; while Ney tried to storm the re- |doubt in the centre; and Prince Kugene ; broke into Lemonskoie. If Napoleon had brought up his reserve of the Young Guard, | the liussian retreat would have been a rout ; and if Davoust bad got in their rear, Kutu- |sow would have been unable to bave re- treated on the capital.

Ma foi! those peasants in the grey | frocks, encouraged by their bearded priests, | with their painted images, fought like Turks, -and would take or give no quarter. With |nearly twenty thousand men wounded, and [thirty genera's Aors de combat, you may | imagine that | had a busy time of it the day after the battle. 1 was the chief doctor in ithe great convent of Kolotskoi, where our wounded were brought. We bad no lint or anything, and our hussars had to scour the country for linnen and beds. I was up to my waist in legs and arms ; and at night, wheo 1 weut to take a breath of fresh air, as tired as any butcher on market-day, the groans from that great building rose as fiom a dying giant.

On the night of the 11th, Napoleon being uncertain whether the Russians bad taken the Road to Moscow or Kalouga, was in- formed by Jewish spies that Kutusow had ieally fallen back on the capital. The next morning we were advanced on Krymskoie We are al! in high spirits; even the poor wounded cheered faintly whea I reported the news in the hospital.

That same night, as I was walking round the bivouac fire, just to observe how tbe sol- diers took the news, | came upon a singular group near a clump of firs, at the east end of the convent garden. There was Krautzer whom I knew perlecily by sight, and a Jew spy, tormenting an old Russian peasant, who knelt before them. They had each got a lighted brand, and were, I suppose, going to torture him into some sort of confession. Two or three soldiers, in their bear-skin caps and grey great-coats, were leaning on their muskets, and laughing as they watched them. The Jew was a lean, haggard man, with a dry, thin, wrinkled face, and witber- ed eyes, that looked like dried currants. As he stood there in his greasy caftan, and dirty boots drawn over his tiowsers, | thought he might have passed muster for the very spirit of Avarice himself.

‘ Burn bis head off, great sir!’ I heard him say to Kreutzer; ‘I tell you he knows all about the Rostopebin Palace.’

' And the celebvated Rostopebin jewels? said Krautzer eagerly.

* Yes, everythiug. He was steward’s men to the prince, and knows all the family secrets.’ Then he held bis torch close to the eyes of the wretched peasant, who shrank into s heap and screamed for mercy.

* Buro his fingers off!’ cried the Jew.

‘Mercy! mercy! and [’l! tel) all,’ cried the peasant. ‘ All the finest jewels are kept in a malachite cabinet,under the floor of the third bedroom to the right, on the third storey, a8 you go up the grand staircase.’

‘ He's lying,’ said the Jew; ‘my great sir, burn his toce vf—do burn his toes off.’

I was just going to interfere, and had in- deed spoken to Krautzer apart, much to his indignation, when an old suldier came up, and striking the Jew with the butt-end of his musket, told bim with an oath not to ill-treat the Russian,

‘We owe them a turn,’ he said, ‘ and _ we'll singe them with onr cannon ; but once ) prisoners, brave men should be merciful, _ Now, thea, old Muscovite, run for your life, ‘and no Jewor savant shall hurt you while | I've a cartridge left. I’ve got an old father at home in Auvergne just your age. Go, _mon enfant.’

The old Russian did not probably under- stand a word this old moustache said to him, but he saw that Krautzer and the Jew were restrained by some one or other, and he saw the wood to which the grenadier pointed. | That was enough. In a moment he blunder- ed through the fire, and ran off as hard as his old legs could carry him; and as I re-

As I stood among the crowd, I beard two barsh voices at my elbow. One said: * Where—where is it?’ The other replied : ‘That is the Rostopchin Palace there among the trees, to the left of the Kremlin, by the Kolomaa Gate. Ali will soon be ours now.’

I looked round; it was Krautzer and that carrion-crow of a Jew. They were evident- ly thinking of the Rostopchin jewels.

‘ Monsieur Krautzer,’ I said, * you have not heard that Marshal Mortier bas for- bidden all pillage ?’

* | suppose we may take keepsakes,’ be replied. * Bat to what do you refer ?”

* I was thinking,’ I replied, * of the mala- chite cabinet in the Rostopchin Palace.’

‘A peasant’s lie,’ said Krauizer, pale with anger and confusion, as he spurred on his horse, and joined the vanguard. That man bad but one thought now. The beast of a Jew ran by bis stirrup.

When I had made my arrangements, under the guidance of a Cossack officer, a prisoner, 1 stopped at a great gateway, next door to our new quar- ters, aud asked to what place that led.

* That is the Rostopchin Palace, French- taan,’ said the prisoner, ‘and contains furniture worth half a million of rab‘es, al] left for your Corsican’s plunderers.’

* We are no thieves,’ I said. * Marshal Mortier, the new governor of Moscow, is ordered, on pain of death, to prevent all pillage.’

‘Ha!’ saye he, ‘look there; they have begun already.’

I looked up to where he pointed; there were (wo men tearing down some sbutters, and thrusting their heads out of a window on tie third story. I looked; it was Krautzer and that accursed Jew. They were evidently in full ery after those Ros- topchin diamonds.

‘Take charge of this officer,’ I said to the picket of grenadiers that accompavied me, ‘and wait below. i have business here,’
