Magdalen.
sr XBEK E. fixxroao. ?
Lift her np, mon, from her slumber, i
Lift her np gently, I pray:
Once she was stainless ana lovely,
Sinless, and fair as the day.
But in the ways of the erring
Early her footsteps were led,
And her lifo'? pathway was downward
Now sho's at rest with the dead.
Turn the whito faco to tho sunlight,
Ah, what cold beauty is there;
Cold as a statue in marble,
Whito and exquisitely fair!
Who, if they looked at tho features,
Hiding tho darkness withblj
Oh, who could think of suoh beauty,
Linked to such hideous sin.
Smooth back tho hair from the forehead,
Yellow and shining as gold;
See, through itt. soft, silken meshes,
Sunshine wove in with each fold.
Somowhoro I have seen, I remember,
A faco that was strangely like this; '
Ak, I know now-one sweet Bummer,
Sweet with delirious bliss.
Now, when I look back toward it
That sweetest summer of life
How my lioart Btirs with emotion,
Tears and my prido are at strife.
She that I know was as sinless,
Pure, and as good as a child
Is this her hfc-wxeck before mo.
Sin-tarnished, scorned and denied?
Oh, what a story of sorrow
Clings to this wreck of a soul
Trial, temptation and struggles
'Gainst tato too stern to control!
Is there a mist o'er the morning?
Somohow my sight has grown dim,'
While I h&yo looked on this pale face,
Sad as a burial hymn.
Corer the faco from tho sunlight
Hide her away from the day
God, in His merciful pity.
Grant her His pardon, I pray.
Great was her sin and her error
God has moro pity than man,
Ho can forgive all the sinning
Of even a poor Magdalen.

CONCLUDED.
As at a bull fight in modern Spoin,
so at a passoge-of-arms in medieovoi
Eu ropo, the fair sex mn stored in con?
siderable numbers, and betrayed a
vital inter?st, tinged, of course, with
womanly pity, in the fate of the prin?
cipal actors. Not that they suffered
the real tragedy to interfere -with
their own bye-play, or allowed them?
selves to bo so engrossed with the
admirer in moil and plate down
yonder, fighting for his life, os to
neglect the nenrer conquest. np here
in satin doublet and silken hose,
whispering elaborate compliments in
a willing ear. Their dresses, too, oc?
cupied a largo share of their atten?
tion. Sumptuous apparel ' in both
sexes was tho principal extravagance
of the age. It -was not probable tho
daughters of Eve, whose conscious?
ness of dress has in all times been as
sensitive as their mother's was of
nudity, wo?ld forego the opportunity
of arraying themselves in a stylo of
splendor fatal to nil beholders.
Tier.upon tier, tho ranks of beauty
shone and sparkled in the gallery,
commenting freely tho while on the
warriors below.
"See how Kalbsbraten backs bia
Flemish roan. He looks like a tower
of steel. 'Tis a fair device, too, the
Tete de Veau, so cunnningly embroi?
dered on his surcoat. In my opinion,
Sigismund's weight and size must
bear down all before it!"
"Nay, Baroness, observe how
Count Schmarn sits in the saddle.
TruBt me, ho is tho bettor lance.
They say last year, at the tournament
at p Aix, ho unhorsed six French
knights running, without unlacing
his helmet."
"Pooh! tho French knights never
won a course against Burgundy.
Montmorency acknowledged it him
seb?. Honorablo lady, I will wager
Sou my collar of pearls against yoni
iamond cross, that in six course:
Ehrenbreitstein proves himself thc
best knight here, save ono."
"I will accept. Baroness, know
you that the Lord of tho Bhino hoi
sold his good bay horse to Bodolph'
Perhaps the Chatelaine may win th<
prize, after all."
"Nay, Countess," interrupted ?
deep voice, joining in the conversa
tion; "with sword and battle-axe
Rodolph is a formidable champion
but his hand is not so steady as i
once was with the lance. Ther<
rides one who could have held tb'
Usts against all comers in tho days o
Charlemagne!"
Tho ladies gazed intently in thi
direction pointed out. Their inform
ant was an undoubted authority ci
all such matters, having held th
post of honor for ten years as ono o
tho ten champions of tho empire,
distinction which now t conferred o:
bim an immunity from all militar
service for life; and, in tho presen
instance, tho critical approval of th
warrior was ratified by tho plaudit
of tho multitude.
As the Alsatian, in complete armoi
and with his vizor down, rode int
the lists, thero was a loud cheer c
approval even from tho phlcgmati
Saxons, and thu air resounded wit
outeries of "The Landgrave! tb
Landgrave! an Ehenheim! an Ehei
beim!" whilst the royal trumpets ga^\
an extra flourish in honor of h:
gallant bearing and tho splendor (
his appointments.
Had ono of the Seven Chnmpioi
of Christendom re-appeared upc
.earth, ho could not have moro con
plotely realized the ideal of chivali
than did Otto of Ehenheim, as 1
guided his managed charger into tl
spacious enclosure. Over his buri
i8hed armor, which shone like glas
and which was curiously inlaid i
gold with an elaborate pattern repr
senting wreaths of violets, ho wore
veivet surcoat of tho same Imo i
?bat modest floweret. Tile housings
of his charger werQ likowiso of tho
favorite color, and a violet scarf float?
ed loosely, fr o ta his shoulders. His
lino frame eho wed tb great ad vantage,
sheathed as it was in mail and plate;
and when, with consummate horse?
manship, he caused his steed-a dark
roan, of great power and symmetry
to pass sideways along the arena so
as to keep his front to the ladies' gal?
lery till he arrived beneath the
throne, and there halting made him
stand motionless as a statute, while
he lowcrod his lance in knightly
homnge to bis imperial master and
the fair girl whose cognizance he
wore, the spectators * were already
waxing vehement in their applause.
But when in the execution of these
manoeuvres, it appeared that he bore
no device on his shield, no plume on
his helmet, but in the centre of ono
and on tho crest of the other a large
posy of fresh-gathered violets, tho(
enthusiasm, particularly amongst the'
ladies, knew no bounds.
"Ho must win!" said they. "Ho
shall win. He deserves to wini
Happy Clothildol How I wish I was
an archduchess! Such gallantry!
such delicacy I such romantic feeling!
And that lovely armor must have oost
a king's ransom ! Look at the velvet,
and that dear horse! Tho. violets,
too, gathered this morning, with the
dew on' them. How charming of
himl Did you ever? No! There
never was such a knight as Otto, che
Alsatian, Landgrave Of Ehenheim!"
At this juncture, when the senti?
ment of' admiration was at its height,
and the last arrival was carrying all
before him, a fresh flourish of
trumpets announced the appearance
of another competitor for tho prize;'
and lol, to the breathless. astonish?
ment o? every individual ptesent,
there rode into the lists the exact
counterpart of the taagnifloetitUM-'
grave, t?o completely in everry respect
tho double of bis predecessor, that
men looked agape m -.each other s
faces as though doubting tho evidenco
of their senses. The same ?figure,
tho same size, the same strong grace?
ful scat in th?.saddle.. The burnish?
ed armor was inlaid with tho same
pattern, and covered with a velvet
surco?t of the very same shade. The
scarf appeared cut from the same
piece; tho housings, nay, tho very
charger beneath them, were identical
with the Alsatian's; and when the
rider; after performing precisely* tho
same, evolutions, lowered his lance,
and ranging up alongside of his pre?
decessor,- disclosed a posy of violets
in tho doss of the shield and another
in the crest of his helmet, the ladies
began to cross themselves and tho
emperor turned pale, and bethought
him of his sins and tho power of tho
black art. Even amongst tho re?
doubtable champions themselves
there were no small misgivings as to
the character of their new compotitor.
Count Schmarn, appealing at once to
his confessor, caused his armor to be
sprinkled with holy water on the
spot. Rodolph and Ehrenbreitstein
swore great oaths inside their
helmets, the latter qualifying his im?
precations with vows to his patron
saint. Kalbsbraten, whoso gigantic
frame enclosed a superstitious mind,
trembled till his armor rattled again,
and was not restored till, raising his
vizor and calling for a bowl of wine,
ho had quaffed off that restorative at
a draught. Only tho Landgrave,, ii
he felt astonishment or alarm, suffer?
ed neither sentiment to appear; bc
sat unmoved by tho side of his double,
and the confused spectators began tc
wonder which was "which.
The heralds then proclaimed. thc
last comer as "Tho Knight of the
Violet." In accordance. with thc
usages of chivalry, he could not bc
required to give any moro explicil
account of himself, at least until thc
conclusion of thc tournament.
Knights were in the habit of making
such eccentric vows, and were alto
gether such mysterious characters
that their laws invariably treated ar
incognito with tho strictest respect
Perhaps Clothilde knew something
about it. She looked very palo anc
anxious on tho first appearance o
the new arrival; but when she had as
sured herself that he sat strong ant
upright in his saddle, sho seemed t<
gather courage, and listened witl
sufficient composuro to tho emperor'
expressions of curiosity and astonish
ment. Tho hour of combat had nov
arrived, the lists were closed. Tin
grand marshal made a progress ronni
tho arena. Tho emperor assume?
his warder. The ladies' tongues wer
hushed, and all stood on tho tip-toi
of expectation.
The antagonists were at first chose:
by lot. Whichsoever should be ad
judged by tho marshal and confirme*
by the emperor to have como best ol
in three courses was to be set aside ii
the victorious class; these again wer
to contest tho palm among themsclvc
until but one concpioror should b
loft. Commencing on tho principl
of a Welsh raain, these conflicts cool
only terminate hko tho famous due
of tho Kilkenny cats.
It is unnecessary to follow the foi
tunes of tho different combatants n
they ran their various courses au
shivered their respectivo lance;
amidst the peal of trumpets, th
shouting of heralds, and tho applaus
of thc delighted ladies. Cour
Schmarn, having twico disposed c
inferior competitors, was obliged t
succumb to Ehrenbreitstein, and th
proud Lord of tho Rhino again i
his turn was rolled over by tho goo
bay horso ho had lost to tho Chati
laine. Rodolph now looked liko
winner, but alas! the hand that ha
lifted. BO many full beakers to set
them down empty, though it letuin
ed its strength, lind lost its steadi?
ness-his Janos pl-.ook as he conched
it against his adversary's helmet, and
when ho missed that object alto?
gether, and received tho whole foroe
of the hostile weapon on his own corse?
let, it was no wonder that man and
horse went down beforo tba resistless
shock.
Once moro the crowd shouted "An
Ehenheim! an Ehenheim!" but a
counter-cry arose for tho unknown
champion, and people asked each
other in some consternation whether
it were tho Alsatian or his doublo who
had made such nu example of Ho
dolph the Chatelaine. Even Hock
? lei mer, the grand marshal, was un?
able to answer tho question, puzzled
as ho. was by the exact similitude of
the combatants and their squires.
Meanwhile the other knight of
the violet was preparing to engage
with Kalbsbraten. That redoubt?
able warrior's weight and size had
disposed readily of all who encoun?
tered him; and he now addressed
himself to tho conflict with consi?
derable confidpnee, partly tho result
of his knightly courage and partly
of the good Rhine vine which be had
quaffed during his intervals of re?
poso. Mentally defying the Alsa?
tian, or the devil, who, ho devoutly
believed, had entered tho lists in
that warrior's likeness, ho made tho
sign of tho cross, laid lanco in rest,
and charged furiously at the foe.
The arm that met t?im, ' howover,
was as strong and more skillful than
bis own. Aimed at the gorget, his
adversary's lanco took him exactly
in the throat, and the extra leverage
lifted his. hugo bulk clean out of the
saddle, and left him senseless on
tho ground, whence ho was convey?
ed to his lodgings, where the leech
who attended him affirmed that the
lancet drew from his veins rv mingled
stream of blood, and wine.
Tho prizer??W v.remained to be
contested by the knights of .the
violet, and tho ' excitement of the
spectators, : stimulated by curiosity
ns well ns interest, know no.bonds. ;
Two courses they ran, each shiver:
ing his lance fairly against the body
of his adversary, but neither' to th?
most critical oyo obtaining the slight?
est advantage. * Hoch-Helmer swore
in good guttural Saxon that he bad
never .witnessed so even a match,
and "the crowd began to murmur that
tho combat must be fought out al
lost with sworSLand battle-axe.
As they rod? once moro to theil
respective posts for a third essay,
ono of tho knights reeled in UH
saddle, as if about to fall from ex?
haustion, Clothilde turned palo]
than ever.
"Father," she whispered, "tin
Landgrave is faint and weary. Throv
the warder down, or thy daughtei
must becomo the prize Of an un
known knight."
"Why did sho think it was th<
Alsatian whoso stamina would foi
to enduro tho severe labors of th<
day? His training had been of tin
strictest; it was nono of Otto's bloot
that a wolf's sharp fangs had drainct
but one short week ago.
The black lie is of both sexes; th
white almost invaribly a female.
Tho emperor was a reasonabl
mah enough. He did not wish Clo
thilde to many any -one but th
Alsatian, and he jumped at once t
the conclusion that it was Ehenbeir
and not his adversary (for in hi
heart he behoved tho latter to be
magician) whoso strength was fail
ing him. Besides, he wanted t
go to dinner; so ho flung his warde
into the lists, and stopped the figl
just as the champions wera coach
ing their lances for the third time
Hoch-Heimer rode under* the goiter
to receive the imperial command
in ill-dissembled wrath. The gran
marshal was choking with indignt
tion at such an infringement of tl
laws of chivalry. Ho oven venture
on a respectful remonstrance, thoug
it crossed his mind the while thi
the mporor was hungry and tl
dinner hour already past.
"Stuff!" said Maximilian. "TL
champions have borne themselv
equally well. It is a drawn battl
They can't both marry my doughte
It shall be decided by lot."
In his heart ho dreaded a protrac
ed contest with sword and axo, tl
dinner cold, and probably tho Als
tain worsted after all.. As far as
decision by lot, it was very easy to ti
range all that.
Here the clear, cold tones of Mu
of Burgundy broko in on his reflo
tions.
"Lot them ride at the ring
decide the victory," said she, raisii
her proud head, "Enough blo<
has boen shed for tho honor of t
Houso of Burgundy, and so wo d
citied moro than ono doubtful, co
test in my father's time."
Tho emperor fidgeted and look
as though ho would have spoke
Some of tho bystanders even ailinn
that ho did mutter something abo
"the soup being cold," and "wou
it tako long?"
"At the court of Charles the Boh:
added tho empress, fixing her const
with a freezing look. Tho magi<
namo produced its usual clVect. Sn
mouing tho grand marshal to ]
side, Maximilian, after a brief ec
sultation 'with that functionary, i
sired that tho heralds might p:
claim, his imperial plc ?turo forthwi
viz: "that tho two champions shot
decido their contest by runni
three courses at tho' ring, to I
sparing of noblo blood and tho <
couragement of knightly skill," at
Lng in a whisper ttx tire jester, on [
whose fidelity, in such matters he '
could jely, "Ran to-?Une lord high
steward and tell' him-dinner in half
an hour."
Some murmurings among, the
spectators followed the announce?
ment of the imperial edict, for the
appetite for bloodshed of a crowd
"grows by what it feeds on." Never?
theless, ^he preparations for riding
at tho'ring were soon concluded-a
small circle of gold, just largo enough
to contain the point of n lauoc, and
suspended ou a slackened cord be?
tween two upright wands, being' all
that was required-and tho cham?
pions, whom rigid etiquette had for?
bidden so much as to unhelm, were
pneo moro warned to make ready for
tho bloodless conflict.
How many wax candles Clothildo
promised her patron saint during
that interval,- short as it was, we
would 'hardly venture to surmise;
but it doubtless was a comfort to
reflect that tho exercise demanded
neither strength nor endurance, only
a true ejTo and steady Tiand; also
that Count Karl's proficiency in this
particular feat was unequalled.
Twice did each warrior, goiug at
full speed beneath the cord, carry
off the goldon circlet fairly on the
point of his lance. Clothilde must
have fainted had it not been for the
tension of extreme suspenso. In
the third oourse one of them missed
the object by a hair's breadth; the
other bore it deftly away once more,
and riding beneath tho gallery, his
whole body swaying to and fro as if
he must have fallen from the saddle,
and laid it at tho archduchess' feet.
Tho trumpets rang out a peal of
viotory; the people shouted and
clapped hands. Mary of Burgundy
enunciated a cold but decided ap?
proval, echoed in warmer tones by
ladies of her court; and; though
everything seemed to swim before
Clothilde's eyes, sfy? was ju?t. oblo?,
when tho grand marshal and his
assistant had unhelmed thc con?
queror, to mnko out tho pale, ex?
hausted face of Count Khrl of the
Pen.
Thc emperor rose to go to dinner.
"I had rather it had been the
Landgrave," said ho; but recollect?
ing that tho result was owing to ono
of his consort's arrangements, he felt
it would bo too lato to disputo tho
question, and looked on with an ap?
proving smile, whilo tho archduchess
threw her glove down to the success?
ful vjh'ampion, and tho exhausted
count pressed tho tokon rapturously
to his lips, i
Otto of Ehenheim said very liltlo
about his defeat. It was not tho Al
Bal ian's custom to express his opinion
in public on his own concerns; but in
pledging Kalbsbraten and tho Chale
laino fathom deep, during tho fest?vi
ties, with which Clothilde's marriage
was celebrated, he did dischargo one
sounding Saxon imprecation at thc
artificer who had so cunningly imi?
tated the- device on Iiis corslet,. and
the poor armorer was certainly stab?
bed tho following evening going
home from his work. In those days,
however, such matters ware of little
account.
So Karl and Clothildo were mar?
ried almost before tho wounds left by
the wolf's teeth woro fairly healed,
and as the nursery tales say, "lived
happily ever afterwards"-and had
many children, both sons and daugh?
ters, whom tho latter were conspicu?
ous for their beauty.- and tho former,
as might be expected, were exceed?
ingly skillful with tho lance.
Gentle ns he waa- brave-gallant,
and loving, and true-not in Vain did
tho daring Count woo the emperor's
daughter; not in vain did ho stoop
for tue violet and aim at the ring.

THE QUEEN'S* DELIGHT, tho groat
American Alterative and Blood Puri
lier, ie tho most perfect vogotablo com?
pound of altorativcs, tonics, diuretics and
diaphoretics; making it tho most effectiVo
invigorating, rejuvenating and blood
cleansing cordial known to the world.
In introducing this now and extraordi?
nary medicine to tho public, observation
leads us to remark that too little attention
is paid to tho "lifo of all nosh," tho blood.
Many diseases, and, too, many complaints,
which have their origin in a vitiated state
of tho blood, aro treated only as symptoms
and rcsnlts: whereas, if tho remedy had
been applied to enrich tho blood and ren?
der it puro, both cause and effect would
havo been removed. Tho Queen's Delight
is offered to tho afllictcd as a suro remedy
for those diseases arising from an impure
condition of tho blood. It has a direct
and spccitlo action upon that Huid, and
consequently renders tho blood puro. Il
is said, on high authority, that "man nc
sooner begins to livo than ho begins tc
dio,- and that tho characteristics of thc
liviug organism aro ceaseless chango ant1
ceaseless waste.-"' It is obvious, therefore,
to every reflecting mind, that unless thc
blood is pure, in supplying the waste tis
sues with material, it must bo the cause o:
innumerable ills and constitutional diBor
eiern, such as Scrofula, Rheumatism, Ho
patio Disorders, Consumption, Innomma
tions, Fevers, Ac. Lifo and health is onl;
to be maintained by tho circulation of puri
arterial blood.
Wo therefore advise overv one whosi

Tho nuacclimated and persons travelin
into warm countries will find the Queen
Delight a great protection from all malar

in a chango of climate, diet and lifo.
Tho extraordinary and unprecedentc
cures performed by tho Queen's Doligl
Compound is attracting tho attention <
every one, not only at homo, but abroa.t
Tho merits of this compound aro bein

answered, and that, in consequence, causes
of delay aro not explained and claims for
losses and damage unsettled; and as the
Seaboard and Roanoko Railroad Company,
who are the forwarding agents for tho line,
aro satisfied that these causes of com plaint
aro not duo.to thoir agents, but to tho in?
accuracy of tbe mails, in order to test this
subject, tho Manager of the Seaboard

able time for a reply, havo not received it,
