THE CASTIE ON THE RHINE. BT? FRANCIS A. DURIV.AGJS. In OJK of those old feudal castles which, irehed like eagle nests, upon picturesque ills that overhang ‘•The wide and winding Rhine,” and with their crumbling and ivy-grown towers, arrest the eyes of the delighted traveller, as he views them from the deck of the gliding steamer, there dwelt, some years ago, the Baron Von Rosenburg and his lady Mathilde. The baron was a very proud man, and continually boasting of his descent from a “long and noble line of martial ancestors,” gentlemen who we’re -have—I have a little wont, in the “good old times,” to wear steel on head, back and breast, and each of whom supported a score of retainers in his feudal castle. Where the money comes from to support a princely housekeeping, when the head of a family has no property or employment, is sometimes , a mystery now-a-dayspbut no such doubt attached to the resources of the baron’s ancestors. These gentlemen, when short of provis ions, would sully forth at the head of their followers, and capture the first drove of ■ cattle they encountered, without stopping •to inquire into the ownership. Sometimes they made excursions on the river, and levied contributions on the little barks of itraders, who often carried valuable car goes from ouo Rhine town to another. Bat the privileges of the robber knights and bandit nobles were sadly shorn by the progressive spirit of modern civilization. 'With s total disregard of the immunities «1‘ chivalry, modern legislators declared that it was a great crime for a baron to seize on a herd of cattle as for a peasant to steal a sheep. Hence the great fami lies along the Rhine went into decay.— ’ The castles were dismantled, many noble names died out, very few remained, the representatives of the ancestral glory of olden times. ^mong them was the baron. He had been a soldier and courtier in his youth, had spent some time abroad, and wasabout forty when he married a lady of the same age, and settled down in the oH family castle of Rosenburg. Here he lorded it over the surrounding valley, the simple inhabitants of which, though exempt from all obligations, yet in some sort regarded themselves as vassals of the baron. They made him presents of fish, accompanied him to the chase, and lent him a willing hand whenever he required assistance at the castle. The baron, though he had the where withal to live comfortably enough, was yet a poor represeutative of the race he sprang from. His army consisted of a lew farm- servants, his cavalry of a plough-boy on a cart-horse, and his navy of a fishing-boat. But, on the whole, he was happy. He passed his days either in trimming his Vines or hunting, and his evenings in po ring over mildewed parchments or books of heraldry, hunting up long pedigrees, and puffing a monstrous meerschaum till the atmosphere was as dense as the inte rior of a smoke-house. The lady .Mathilde embroidered from morning till night. They bad, however, a common source of grief. Fate had not blessed them with children. The lady yearned for the com panionship of a daughter; the baron mourned at the prospect of the extinction of his name for the want of a male heir. It was while pondering on this subject one day, as they were strolling out togeth er, that the baron and his lady came upon the cottage of an old soldier, named Karl Mueller, who cultivated a little vineyard not far from the castle. The old man was seated on a bench be fore his door, smoking, and so deeply plun ged in revery that he was not aware of vis itors till the baron touched him on the shoulder. “In a brown study, Karl ?” said the ba- ron. “I have enough to think about,” re turned the soldier. “I’m getting old, am one thing troubles me.” “What’s that,” my good fellow ?” “Why, you see, baton, I’m not alone here” “Not alone ?” “No, sir—L child herc.’ r “I never knew you wore married, Karl.” “Nor was I, your honor. For I always thought an infantry soldier ought to be iu inarching order, and never have more baggage than he could carry in his knap sack. No, no, the child is none of mine.” “But it is related to you,” said the ba ron ness. “It is my grandchild, madam,” replied the soldier, fixing his eyes on the lady ; “and the child of as brave a man as ever faced the fire of the enemy. He might have been a field marshal for the matter of that. I saw him at Oberstadt when the hussars when down to charge the ene my’s light cavalry. Faith, madam, they made daylight shiue through their ranks. Their curved sabres cut them up as the sickle does the corn. I saw him, the girl’s father, madam, go into the affair with the hussars; but he came not out safe.— It was pitiful to see his uniform all dab bled with blood, as he lay on the ground, and to see his pale lips quivering, as he prayed for water. I gave him the last drop in my canteen, and swore I’d protect the child.” Tlte baroness, whose eyes were filled with tears, turned to her husband and asked— “Shall wc not give a shelter to the child of a brave man ?” The baron nodded, and the proposal was accepted by Karl, who retired into his cottage, and immediately reappeared, btiiifring jtortKt beautiful girl of ten, with fair hair tmormto eyes, and a forhi of graceful symmetry. “A girl! nonsense!” said the baron, in a tone of disappointment. But the ba roness folded the child in her arms with rapture. The child responded to the ca resses of the lady with equal ardor. So the little Adelaide was soon domes ticated in the castle, which her frolic spi rit tilled with gayety. The baroness re newed her youth, iu gazing upon hers, and the baron never scolded her, <*en when she took his pipe out of his mouth, or rummaged among his parchments. As site grew up to womanhood, she became more serious aud thoughtful. iShe was anxious to learn everything touching her father, but on this subject the baron ess could give her no information, and Karl, her grandfather, seemed equally averse to speaking uf it.. WUeu liai-U pressed, he promised to speak out at some future time. One day she was summoned in great haste to the cottage of old. Karl. The old man had suddenly been taken ill. and re quired the nreseuce of his grand-daughter. It was evident, at a glance, that he was on his death-bed. “Adelaide,” said he, “forgive me before I die, that I may die in peace.” “Forgive you, dear grandfather? ‘ Am I not deeply indebted to you ?” “I should have reposed more confidence in you. I should have spoken to you a- bout your parents.” “My father?” asked Adelaide. “Was a brave aud good man. But of your mother—your good mother—she was- DARLINGTON, S. C., TUESDAY.

Ho was a dangerous compauion toayouuggirl whose imagination needed but a spark to kindle it, and for a time she indulged in the wild hope that she had made a conquest of Ru- ^ ft “ ‘ ‘ ' dolph. But then her reason told her that even if he loved httf, it would bo impossible forayoung man of family to offer his hand to an almost portionless girl, about whose urigiu a veil of mystery seemed wrapped. The names of her parents, even, had nev er been disclosed to her by the li]»s of probably the only man who knew her his tory, and those lips were now cold and mute in death. Hence the little gleam of sunshine which had for a moment pene trated her heart was speedily quenched iu a deeper darkness than that which reign ed in it before, and she could not helf viewing the visit of Rudolph as an omi nous event.

But l am n matt of honor, and if you w ill accept my baud without my heart, it is yours.” “Captain Krnstciu,” replied the beauty, “I thank you for your frank confession. I cannot possibly accept your hand w ith out your heart. Nay—-do not frown, father—I have a secret for your car, and if you do not wish to wreck your daugh ter’s happiness, you will urge me no fur ther.” Von Steinberg frowned, and pshawed v and pished, and then, clearing his voice, addressed the baron. •“Owmc.- Vww A I.., fess that we have been acting like a cou ple of old fools, iu trying our hand at match making—it is a business for the b Dtpartmcnt of Florida—M*j G Foster-to command; to em- was young people themselves, and not for old sold iers like us. Say, shall we reduce the mutineers to obedience, or shall wo let them have their own way?” “Circumstances alter cases,” answered Here n spasm interrupted his utterance, aud he lay back on his pillow, gasping for breath. After a brief space he seemed to revive again, and made strong efforts to express himself, but his breath failed him He motioned to Adelaide to fetch him writing materials, and while she held sheet of paper on a book before him, he essayed with facble fingers to trace a sen tcncc with a pen. But the rapid approach of death foiled all his endeavors to com municate a secret that evidently lay close to his heart, and while the young girl bent over him in an agony of grief, he gently sighed away his last. The baron and ba roness found their protege, an hour after wards, still sorrowing by the bedside of their early friend and protector. With gentle violence they 'removed her from the chamber of death, and took her home to the castle, where they gave directions to the proper persons to take charge of the old eoldier’s remains, and inter them with that decent respect which was due to his character and station. Among his ef- ects was found a will, in which he made Adelaide his heiress, bequeathing to her iis little landed estate, and a small sum in gold, the produce of his toil and fru gality. This event cast a gloom over the spirits of the young maiden, from which, lowcver, her religious persuasions, the at tention ot her friends, and the elasticity of her youth, eventually relieved her. The old castle on the Rhine was gay ont^more, when Rudolph Erustein, nephew of the baron, a gay youngcaptain of hussars, whose gallantry and beauty had given him a reputation at Vienna, came to pay a long visit to his uncle. He was a high-spirited and accomplished young roan, had served with distinction, was a devoted admirer of the ladies, and one o those military Adonises who are born to conquest. He wad* charmed to fiud do mesticated beneath the old roof tree so fair and lovable a girl as Adelaide, aud of course did his best to render bis society agreeable to her. He sang to her •“•jp his ^Wft wri»3^, to airs of his own com- which dashed out the last faint glimmer ing of hope. They were all seated at a huge oaken table, from which theservants had just removed the apparatus of the morning meal. “Rudolph,” said tbe baron after light ing his pipe, an operation of great solem nity and deliberation, and taking a few whiffs to make sure that its contents were duly ignited—“Rudolph, do you know why I sent for you to Rosenburg.” “Why, sir,” replied the hussar, “I sup pose it was because you really have a sort of regard for an idle, good-for-nothing fellow, whose redeeming quality is an at tachment to a very kind old uncle, and whose nonsense and good spirits are per haps a partial compensation for tbe trou ble he gives everybody in this tumble down old castle ” “Tumble-down old castle!” exclaimed the baron, in high dudgeon, the latter part of the soidicr’s speech cancelling the for mer; “why. you jackanapes, it will stand for centuries, it resisted the cannon of Napoleon, and it bids defiance to the bat tering of time. Yes, sir, Rosenburg will stand long after your great-great-graud- children are superannuated.” “1 am not likely to be blessed in the way you hint at, uncle,” said the soldier, ! carelessly. “I am likely, for aught! see, to die a. ^NoiSbuie !” said the BaTofiT -11 What’s to become of your family name? Do you think 1 will allow it to die out, like the Pumpernickles, the Snaphauseus, and the Odcnstoffenburgers? No, boy, i*-j*ent for you to tell you that I have contracted lor your hand with my friend, the Baron Von Steinburg.” ‘Really, sir, you dispose of me in a ve ry cavalier way.” “That’s because you’re too careless or lazy to look out lor yourself,” retorted the baron. “But then you can have no pos sible objection to the present match. The lair Julia is just twenty—eyes, you dog —lips you rascal—a shape, you block head, to bewitch an anchorite. Aud then she hits the gelt—the money my bny.” “A commodity of which 1 happen to be minus,” said the soldier. Aren’t you my heir ?” asked the Bu- cqually exalted.
