[Original. ,;.^o Oar Abicot Slatvr. BT TnoMAH CAMPBELL DA.YI8, OF U1B30?BI. MT Bieter, pleasant though te of thee como often to mv ni ii wi Thoughts fall bf lovo and tenderness-for tbon wert oYer kind; ?nd there aro spells that oling to thee no earthly "power can break. And hours of fond remembrance I shall ' cherish for'thyeako. When morning, with its rosy lights, has tinged the earth and sky, In fanoy thou art near me still, with thy brightly beaming bye; And when twilight twee try lingers round tho closo of parting day. Thou comes to mo tho memory of . "loved ono" far away. Together we havo . wandered o'er h?ls around our homo, And culled tho sweetest Howers that in early spring lime bloom; And together we have listened to the voice of prayer at eve, lhit/tis hast-and those bright momenta their treasured memories leavo. I mine ?hy voice, my sister, and thy kind and gentle emile, .Which UKO a ray of sunlight all my sad noss could beguile; And tho aoeret lovo I felt for theo will ever deeper swell, How I am parted from thy oide, from thee I lovo co well. Years paaa and bring their changes, and early joyB will fade, The ehafta of grief assail na oft, our brightest hopos to shudo; Then how sweetly joya departed, como clnstoring round the hoart, As to tho past fond memory its brightnoss doth impart. And now, good-byo, sweet sister; within my hoart thore lie? A fount of love for thee, which I kuow that thou wilt prize;" And when earth's ties aro brokou, may wo ?ind that Heavenly reat Where no farewell words aro spoken, and no sadness fills tho breast. [From Southern Society. | ASTABTE CONCLUDED. She held his wrist with a grasp -which aeomed beyond tho strength of one so fragile, and gazed into Iiis eyes until, overcome by her irresisti? ble influence, tho fiery torrent of his speech was stayed, and with drooping head he rested in child-like sub? servience to her powerful will. "You say your lovo for me, com? pared to the lovo of other men, is ns noonday to dawning. Boland Doug? las," she said bitterly, "I tell you, {ronr love in comparison with tho ovo of which I nm capable-which I have known-is as tho tiny dow-drop to tho illimitable ocean! Lovo! You know not the faintest glimmering of its meaning! It w:is reserved for him and me to fathom its full depths and supernal ecstacies!" Her breath came heavily nud her soft hand, which she had raised as sho spoke, fell with a caressing touch upon tho gleaming skull at her side. "Ours was a repetition of a story , almost ns old as the world-we loved with a lovo which should not have been, and yet was, and is, and ever Will bo. This I know, that though ages of purgation und spiritual torture Will roll over our heads, tho ex? tremest ono of them all will hud our souls still permeated with that lovo which, ouco stamped upon them, partook ever thereafter of their own eternal essence! "You know me by no name but that of Astute, for no other so well be? comes nie. Yet I owned one ns high and noble ?is your own, and his was prouder and nobler still. In tho world but not of it, we each pursued a course of solitary isolation, till knowing each other, we found that wo were separate halves of a oneo divided soul, and that together wo j formed erne perfect and indissoluble whole. Possessed of a mind which , was ca:st in some gigantic mould, ho had added to its uiitnnd wealth the treasures, of the most finished educa tion that Europe could afford, and ! in addition to thc usual branches of ? knowledge pnrsued in the universi- i tics, he had cultivated so assidu- ! ously tho occult sciences, and puno-1 tratod KO deeply thc mysteri?s of ; nature and the spirit world, that the 1 laws which trammel ordinary human? ity seemed suspended in his favor. "In all these, as fh everv action of hi? iiio, I was nu. copartner and as? sistant, and in his old castle, which frowned over tito dills of the llhiue, I have seen sights and heard horrors which made the fables of the Brocken and H?rstel seem ns idle tales with which one frightens children. "Ob! purple life of love and glory, how you have absorbed tho color nud warmth of existence, leaving behind yon only tho blackness of a darkness which is pal pable I" Again her baud foll with a loving touch on tho cold and glittering skull, while a spasm of pain contracted her perfect features. I*'....?;-. : v * ljk.J '--..Vf j*".; "Wo parted-why it matt?? not to yon-wo parted, and henceforth ex-' ?aton co became a protracted anguish compared to which annihilation would hnvo been infinite enjoyment. "Deprived of the light of hin presence and the strength be impart? ed to my spirit, which drew ita very life from his, I drooped until it seemed that ono step moro would place me in that tremendous realm r?hcrc ?ll that io dark and shadowy now will be clear as the noonday. "In our hours of happiness, when, from the addition which tho contrast of tho pictured possibility of our separation afforded to the joy of our union, wo bad promised eaoh other that if snob parting ever took place, wo would exercise the mysterious power of what tho Germans call deuteioscopy, and by its awful agency imposo our visible presence upon each other.' In tho morbid condi? tion produced by my shattered health, and the intolerable misery of a separation from him, this promise came back to mo with tho vividness of lightning, shedding brilliancy on my darkoned spirit, and placing be? fore me the overpowering bliss of his presence, nntil all thought was merged in one absorbing desire to exercise tho mjstic,"fatal power, and purchase ono moment ot wild, un? earthly ecstaoy, though it were pnid for by a life-time of suffering greater than I then endured. "One night, while I luy in the Bplendor of my gilded bed, and heard, as my attendants retired, their balf-smothered exclamations that my beauty was too glorious for earth, I drew the heavy curtains closely around me, and fixing my thoughts upon him with a concen? tration that required the utmost ex? ertion of my unutterably powerful will, I said the awful words, which, while my body lay with all its essen? tial attributes apparently undisturbed, would convey that body visibly and tangibly into tho presence of him who was more thau my life. "A fiery tingling sensation quiver? ed through my brain; there came a sound like the rushing of many waters, then what seemed a few seconds of dreamy somi-conscious noss, and then I awoke to the know? ledge thai I was gliding, with a conviction of being invisible, through the gloomy corridors of that Rhine castle, which had so often echoed to our laughter and our love. Swiftly and with tho lightness of a disem? bodied spirit, I passed along through rooms to each of which was linked some happy memory, until I paused at the door of ono which I knew but too well. Pausing for an instant to stay the tumultuous throbbing of my heart, which Beamed to stille me, and sayiug to myself iu a low tone ol inexpressible eestacy: 'I shall sec him!' I entered tho room and saw him! "Saw him in whom my soul was bound up, sleeping that sleep fron: which even my love could not uwaket him. Saw him lying in his collin, with hands crossed over the breas which had ouce responded with wilt love to my slightest emotion, bu whoso marble coldness not even th? agonies of my broken heart coull now stir to ono pulsation. Grasped in his dead hands was the lock of mj hair ho had cut off when wo parted aud still seemed to (ding to it witi bis o^Jd passionate fondness. Hi beautiful eyes were sealed by death' fingers, but I raised their veiled lids and oh! heaven of happiness, tho oh look came back to them, and 1 knc\ that in death os in life he was mine! "Roland Douglas, moments of th misery I then endured, accomplisbci he work of years-behold their el feet!" She rose, and drawing her nmjesti form to its full height, unwound th turban which encircled her head As she did so, her hair fell in a heav shower below her knees; soft, thic and of wonderful fineness, but a white as snow. "I am tho woman you would mak tho wifo of your bosom!" she Buid with an intense self-scorn no word can describe. "Rotter seek a brid in the 'i"i?.cs:c horrors o' ibo charm house, than ask to claim my lovo! Clasping tho skull to her hoavin bosom, she covered it with pussionut kisses, theu with an air of ineffabl grandeur, walked slowly through th magnificent apartment, stopped moment at its extremity, gazed fix?e I ly on tho agonized face of bor youn lover, and then disappeared os stu I denly as if abo had incorporated he self with tho surrounding air.
