Tho Ansel or DM th. The Angel of Death, one bright morning, AroBo from hf? ivy-clad lair, And the aid of hie pale steed scorning, Floated off on the wings of air. Ho paused 'neath the boughs of a willow Tba*, were shading a casement bright, And saw, fast asleep on a pillow, A little babe, clad all in whit?. The mother sat Bowing and singing, And thinking of one who waa dead, Her memory back to ber bringing Each kind word he ever bad said. Her yoong heart, thongh brnis'd, was not broken; Bb? ?tili held a remnant of Joy Ik* lost one had left ber a token Of love, in her beautiful boy. The Angel; without even knocking, On a sunbeam enter'd the room; The mother kept on with her rooking Ho knowledge had she of her doom. Hegl&no'd at the one and the other, With looks that were gentle and mild; "I need not," be said, "strike the mother-" And he Btrode straight on to thc child. One moment tho Angel doth linger, As dreading tho signet to place, Then touches, with transparent finger, A dimple that laughs in his face. The blue-tinted eye-lid droops lower, The pulso gives one passionate thrill, The breathing comes slower and slower, A shudder-and then allin still! The Angel of Death, smiling sadly, Floats off on his pinions of air; His duty is done, and he gladly Bs turn s to hie ivy-clad lair. Tho mother arises, still singing. Her bright little treasure to sook, And 'round bim her snowy arms flinging, Imprints a warm kiss on his chook. Obi heard you that shriek so appalling? Oho totter'd away from the boa God pity herl Help! Bhe is falling! Th* babe and the mother are dead! [Original. OB THE FORTUNES OF JULIET CLAYBURN. CONTINUED. Juliet made no response; but suddenly she drew forth Earl's miniature, from its resting-place, in the vicinity of her heart, and, opening the case, first pressed tbo ?old glass to her lips, and then handed it to her mother. "Ab! he has a handsome face-a real poetical face, "said Mrs. Clayburn; "and, indeed, looks altogether like a poet, with bis long, flowing hair, and the look of mysterious inspiration beaming from the dark, thoughtful eyes." "flo does write poetry, sometimes," remarked Juliet. "He has written some beautiful poetry in bia own language, .nd also some English verses for me." "Inu't he extremely quick-tempered and impulsive?" inquired Mrs. Clayburn. "Bot I ou pp oso he most be-it is a char? acteristic of the Yon Oppenheim family." "Aunt accuses him of being so," re? plied Juliet, evasively. Mrs. Clayburn did not yet remove her gaze from tbe pioture. "I used to bave a wonderful gift at reading character from the physiogno? my," she said, "when I was young aud mingled a great deal with tho world. Euri hus a voluptuous, tender mouth; but the sensuality of tba lower part of the face is worthily redeemed by the noble, expansive brow, and the sweet expression about tbe eyes. I hope, my dear, for your sake, and for Karl's, too for I am sure I will lovo him-that your Sr?sout trouble and separation will soon e ended. We must hope for the best and wait events. Did Rudolph bring you H letter?" "Oh, ye8l" exclaimed Juliet. "And I have not even read it." With trembling eagerness, she drew tbo document forth from her pocket, and, breaking the seal, ?roceeded to read it aloud to her mother, [rs. Clayburn interrupted her in the middle of the first sentence. "You would better adopt the precau? tion of locking the door," she said. "It is about time for yonr father to return, and, unless the door is locked, he will certainly intrude upon our privacy." Juliet followed her advice, and then, returning to tbe seat beside her mother, read aa follows: DRBSDBN, September 15, 18-. Tho first anniversary of our engage? ment, my belovedl Have you thought of it; and are you thinking of tbe absent nour, Julio? I am Bure you will not with? hold from me, in these, the darkest days I have ever known, that sympathy and oondolence in my sorrow, which, coming from you, will bo far swooter, far moro comforting to my heart, than aught else on earth. Rudolph will tell you that, my dear father is no more. I thunk God for {>ermitti og me to seo bim once moro in ife. Almost ten years had elapsed since our separation, and he was so broken in appearance, so marked with tho ruthless lurrows of old age and cure, I could scarcely recognize him as tho father whom I had last seen. Mental distress, I fear, did more toward bis dissolution than any physical ailment, flin pecuni? ary affairs, for years past, have buen in antatoof groat confusion-owing, chiefly, to Franz, who has In on, und continues to bo, culpably reckless aud extravagant. His patrimony descends to bim in tho simpo of a terribly encumbered estate, wbtob only the prudence aud sustained energy of yours can recuperate. But lie has made bis own couch, and must lie In it, blaming only himsolr, if it prove a bsd of thorns. If Franz would set him? self to the task, the thing could bo gradu? ally remedied; but Franz, dear fellow, bas no aptitude for work-he lives for .enjoyment. At this present time, ho is off, on some chaso after pleasure, leaving me to plod through the dry technicalities of business. But, having promised to remaiu until after Nannerl's marriage, .which will probably tuko plaoo in No? vember.) io the meantime, I prefer hav? ing some employment for my mind otherwise, I would spend all tho time in useless rcpiuings to seo Julie. As it is, Julie is everywhere aud in everything. Frauz' wife reminds me of you inces? santly-that is, abe would do so, if you were not already incessantly in my mind, ??ho ia a sweet young thing, with gentle mannen and a snowy oomplexion, like my Julie, only she is not half such an angel. But then, it is scarcely fair to expect impossibilities of her! I hare preserved intact the strict si? lence yon imposed upon me as regards our engagement, except in the case of my father. But, Liebchen, upon my life, I cannot see why yon will not grant me the privilege of speaking about it to my family. What harm could oome of it here, in Germany, where there is no possible chance of anything reaching your father's ears prematurely? Will you not grant me liberty to tell Nannerl? if no one else. She is dying of curiosity about you. I could not refrain from showing her your miniature, and telling her you were my bride; but as I would mention no name, nor make any dis? closures about the engagement, ene re? fuses to credit the story, and declares it is all a hoax. She believes I only prize the pioturo as a raro object of art; but when I remonstrate against this belief, she says, "if it is all true, Karl, and she is really your bride, and as lovoly us thia miniature, represents, then you must have gone to Venus, or somo other star, or Heaven itself, to find her. To my mind, this fair unknown even surpasses Gretchen Hoenig, who is so marvellously beautiful; she finds it unpleasant to walk unveiled in the streets, from tho con? spicuous attention her loveliness attracts. But Gretchen is dark, and your young bride, Karl, is fair-pure as a snow? flake, and looking, as I imagine thoso beings must look, who minister above in the courts of Heaven, who trend tho streets of pure gold, and stand at tho pearly gatos of tho New Jerusalem 1" Nannorl is a remarkable girl-she has sense and taste! This Gretchen of whom sho speaks is a niece of her in? tended husband. She must be nn exqui? site model of femalo loveliness, from whut I hear, having never seen her; but she is to bo present at Nannerl's wed? ding, and I will then enjoy tho opportu? nity of judging for myself. Hor mother was a Spanish woman, and Gretchen is a perfect specimen of tho Spanish type dark, soft, with a bewitching languor; bot it is needless to say to you 1 do not affect this sty io. Nannerl has been infamous enough tc slip upon me unawares, and peep ovci my shoulder, thinking thereby to get an insight into my particular secret, and gain an immense accession of knowledge on my affairs in general. Hat to her in? tense disgust, she has discovered thu epistle, written iu English, and as it ii an unknown tongue to her, out of mis ohievous spite, she has boxed my oort soundly. What punishment do yor. award her, Julie? Think of the mon strous deed I She has boxed the eari which only you have a right to box Will your warm Southern blood submi tamely to such vile usurpation? Bu1 Nannerl hos written yon a little note-i peace offering, which sho begs me to en close. I think you will find no difficulty in deciphering it, notwithstanding tin hand-writing is rather illegible. I hopo Liebchen, you do not neglect your Ger man-make a practice of speaking it witt Kudolph and your aunt. Dear Nannorl is not robust in health sho hos been extremely unwell, in fact ever since tho affliction which hus recent ly bofallon us. Hut I trust sho will rall; in stroucth when thc first heavy pang of grief aro ovor. I have boen endoavoi ing to induce her to relinquish this ap proaching alliance with Herr Hoenig und return to America with mc-to muk her homo with myself and tho charmin original of the picture she so much ad mires. Hut she persists in saying, "th charming original" would doubtless con sider her presence an unwarrantable in trusi?n, and no argument I can brin forward has had tho power to remov this impression. Women are strang beings. I believe there aro some sister; who believe their brothers cannot lov them, if they love their wives, ond som wives, who believe their husbands cac not love their wives, if they love thei sisters. N 'est cc-pas't I fool convince you would like Nannerl; she is considei ed a true counterpart to my own ni worthy self, and as you like Karl (a Hill do not you, Julie?) however unworthy you would necessarily like Nannerl nls( My mother's health is also d?licat We dure not hope for her a much long? continuance on this mortal scene. Pit mo, my darling, iu this desolated bonn whore grim death has so recently crosse tho threshold, and where, in additic to everything else, I find life a dail struggle with melancholy, to support tb bitterness of our separation. Son tunrs, I think I can no louger enduro -that 1 roust end this intolerable Ion< ing and fly to you. Hut I cannot dese my mother and sister in their timo i ioro need. If Ludwig and his wifo we here; but they were only able to stay ov tor tho funeral, and returned almost ir mediately to Heidelberg. Ku dolph is somo from thors to-morrow, or to-du perhaps, to say good-byo to tho ftimi I, before he leaves for America. His futh iud mother were delighted to see him pleased with his growth and wonderf improvement, etc., etc. I think Eugen would return with him, to visit her m titer, if she were allowed to indulge h jwn inclinations; but Ludwig will n< bear of it. He could not live, he saj iv.thout her. I do not blaine him. Y< muy muke up your mind to ono thin Julie, when wo are once happily mi ried, you shall never be parted from t for u day. Not one-do you hear? TL parting business ie insupportable, tooms to me, I have been from you i interminable period already. Hut Hopo to como to you soon; wheu t nolly berries glow on the Christmas tre >r at furthest, when tho breezes go ivooiug among tho blossoms, and t ?pring birds call from brooming "br ind bower." Since we parted, I bavo been retlecti i great deal on the circumstances of o engagement and tho troublo I ha caused you. I ooufess, Julie, my co icience convicts me of great wrong, persuading yon to enter into a contri of this sort, without the permission of your parents. Not that I regret it on my own aoeonnt. Do not misunderstand | me. I speak entirely in reference to yon. For myself, yon know how entirely and exclusively my affections are center? ed in yon, and that from yon must come my supreme happiness-my all in life. But it would have been better, perhaps, on your account, not to have spoken of my love, until I could go openly to your father and ask permission for our nnion. Regrets are useless. I trust it will all come right. These thoughts have been suggested to me by those passages in your letter (the only one wbioh has reached me) in referonce to the pain and remorse you exporienco in deceiving your kind father. I can fully appreciate the feeling and imagine how unhappy it must make you. But I would be willing to suffer that and more for you-I would be willing to Buffer anything for your sake. Will not tho thought support you and help you to bear your trials, when yon remember they aro all for mo? DoBt not write, Julie? Why? Dost not remember thy letters are tho very life breath to mc now? Whero is Harry Babbitt and Frank Clayburn? anywhere about you? But this is only a joko. I am not a bit jealous-except, beloved, of the air j'ou breathe-tho flowers you touch-the sod upon which your little loot presses-and this paper when it fulls beneath your heavenly glance! I told my dying father about roy fair botrothed in tho New World. He said he wished I had married and brought you over to tho Vaterland, that his old eyes could have been blessed before he died. My poor father! Ho blessed me with his dying breath-ho called me his bost beloved-his Joseph! and gavo me, also, a rich blessing for her, who was my chosen wife, whom he hoped would soon become tho loved partner of my bosom my cherished compuuion for life. Would to God it was so now! Oh, my sweet Julie! my life! roy bride! Do not let tho pleasures of homo and tho allurements of tho world ouuso you to forget him who lives ouly for you. Rudolph will tell you the news. I can no longer write on commou-plnce themes. I form tho letters which com? pose your name, Julie, and instautly my pen is dipped in love; it flows from my finger-tips in mellow showers. My heart is flooded in a rapturous bath of fond remembrance aud out-gushiug affection. It throbs wildly with the lighted incense fires of a sweet idolatry. Your lotter lies before mo-your bon? nie wee letter, with its duinty chirogra? phy-which is a substance, a part and parcel of Julie herself. It bears the im? press of her hand-it breathos the balmy fragrance of her own presence. These words catoh my eye-"Think of me, then, Karl." Then? When, Julie? When do I not think of thee? When 1 [lawn kindles in tho glowing East, my thoughts are of Julie; when the hum? ming bird flits from tho green boughs to tho honey-cups; when the dew-sheen bathes tho Blooping flowers; when thc 3roamy evening star peeps upon my love ' Trom tho cerulean veil of night; wheu ? the cristal moon climbs the star-lit walls af Heaven, then my thoughts are of Ju? lie-still Julie! only Julie! Not brighter than ray lovo is that star not fairer nor purer is the quoon of night ; iud bluer than tho bluest sky or velvet [)ansy blooms, is Julie's violet eyes. Her blush is moro radiant than the dawn lush of day; her voice is a murmuriug well of liquid melody, whose B?very ?hiroes echo deep down in tho ravished : lells of my soul; her beauteous shape is the embodiment of a thought conceived in celestial spheres; hor brows aro pen? ciled rays of sun-streaks, darkened upon I i crust of suow; her teeth are rich pearls i rom tho coast of Ceylon-and her blue- ' reined hand is whiter than white sea- ! !uam, und ". softer than down or Tho silver-leaved flower." Julio has coral lips, whoso cherry )loom is sweeter than honey; whoso euch is a soft waft of felicity, caught rom Elysium; whoso breath is a dis illed May zephyr, fresh from beds of nusk, roses and myrrh! My lovo is a ien-jewel! a goddess! a dove-eyed houri! . queen who reigns pre-eminent over the loroinious of my being, whoso palace is i fairy castle erected in roy heart! .Vbero is my love? and what doing? Hay angels guard her and the God of he universo take her in his keeping. Tube, speak to roe! Send your heart to j ne! Writo mo! My famished soul j travos lovo-raauna; my parched and lobing lips would fain drink u draught >f beauty from your smile. I embroco my love; roy arms ure ?round her; she is close to my heart! In ter little pink ear I nm whispering, 'Julie, I love you," aud though Julie peaks not, yet Julie, roust lovo me, too, ?r else there is another nutno added to ho long list of earth's misorablo chil Ireu, and that name is forever and for iver thine. KARL VON OPPENHEIM. "Isn't it a sweet letter, mother?" said rulief, her face beaming aud rosy with lappiness. "Ho is very fond of you," answered irs. Clayburn, "too fond, my daughter. Vo should never allow swob excess to ny earthly feeling. Wo should strive o remember that all things in thismuu luno phase of our existence, is fleeting ud transitory.
