THE DREAM OF LOVE. CONCLUDED. Ou ruy entrance, he advanced aud 'welcomed me iu tones of the most bland politeness; then, after a few common? places, he said ho would be delighted to hear me play. I bowed, and commenced a piece of my own composition, founded on a popular Neapolitan fisherman's song. I had purposely selected this for what dramatists call le lever du rideau, from the fact of ita possessing a certain degree of sprightfalness calculated to arrest the litener's ear, and thus produoe a favorable reception for my more elabo? rate performance. It also gave me time to study my audience and the acoustic qualities ot the room, which was of con? siderable Bize, but so dimly lighted that its proportions were not easily definable. A few wax candles, burning in silver stands, interspersed np and down, shed so feeble an illumination en the sur? rounding objecto, that served but to in? crease the gloom. The company consisted of some twen? ty or thirty individuals, who preserved the most icy frigidity of manner. One lady, dressed in blue satin, with a jasmin flower in her hair, was beautiful as a Grecian statue, but, alas! as cold. An? other of the gnests seemed plunged in deep thought, for his head never once moved from its recumbent position dur? ing my performance. Two or three of tho gentlemen were dressed in uniform, and to judge from the stars and ribbons which adorned their breasts, must have been men of considerable distinction. Among the gentle sex, I remarked a few pretty girls clastered together in one corner, while an elderly lady, in black velvet and ostrich plumes, seated near them, surveyed the group with a smile of benevolent approval. One couple, consisting of an old gentleman and lady, who, to judge by their silver locks and venerable forms, must have long passed the term of life allotted by the Psalmist, sat in close proximity to their host, and were evidently the patriarchs of the party. The rest I could not see, with the exception of a dark complexioned man of about thirty-five, who fixed upou me a steady glassy eye. There was a wild, haggard expression about that man's face I did not like; and whenever I looked in his direction, I mot the same fixed stare, until it became an insult; but, as if to make amends for this, a comely-looking dame, seated by his side, rewarded my exertions with a very kind? ly, good-humored smile. There was an air of biens?ance pervad? ing the assembly; but, at the same time, I had never in my whole experience found the Horatiau axiom of nil admirari pushed to the same extent; and when I brought my solo to a close, not a single expression of satisfaction greeted my labors. I ought, by the way, to ex? cept the Prince, who was pleased to express himself io flattering terms of my artistic endowments. Two footmen now brought on silver trays a slight refec? tion, composed of ices, orgeat and Vene? tian confectionery. While this pnrt of the ceremony was being enacted, and I was duly refreshing myself with an ioe such as Italy alone can produce, Prince Paul came up and began to chat about tho rival sohools of music in Germany and Italy, in a way that showed consider? able knowledge of the subject. There waB in the old gentleman's manner a benevolence and regard to the feelings of others, combined with a general warmth of expression, strangely opposed to the chilling indifference displayed by his guests. After a sufficient pause, I resumed my instrument, aud this time selected Prume's delioious pastorale, "La M?lan? colie," thinking that this might he more in harmony with tho feoliugs of my audience. But it was ail one; not an emotion was stirred by the touching notes of that expressive melody, or the admirable variations which succeed it. The dark eyes still glared at mo wildly the comely dowager smiled good-humor edly as beforo-tho generals ovinced no symptoms of surrender of their stoieism -tho group of fair girls, with their chaperone, preserved tho utmost compo? sure-aud she with the divine faco and ? III mmmmgmmm mm "^""^^^^^^ 5 the jasmia fiowor.I no traco, not oven the faintest gleam bf susceptibility dwelt on that adorable oonntenanoe. I could have borne all but thia. Had one smile of approbation from those lovely lips re? warded- ray endeavors, I should have been content. . But this indifference waa dreadful. Was it possible that a being so thoroughly beautiful could bo de? prived of all sensibility to tho poetry of sound? It could not be. No; I had failed in calling forth those emotions of tho soul BO obedient to the summons of the inspired musician. My wand was evidently impotent, and I became piqued and discontented. At length, after playing a mournful sweeping movement towards the close, without tho slightest effect, I suddenly broke off, and, in a fit of desperation, dashed into tho Carnaval de Venise. It was a last resource, aud I resolutely de? termined on rousing this apathetic as? semblage, at the sacrifice even of my own reputation. Tho most outre and extrava? gant variations-the most ludicrous sounds I conld deviso-altercations be? tween tho old man and woman, followed by the tumbling down Btairs of tho for? mer, while hotly pursued by his better half; Paganini's most grotesque move? ments, rendered grotesquer and absurder still-followed by the clucking of hens, orowing of cooks, the bleating of lambs, the grunting of pigs-tho various sounds of a farm-yard, delightfully interspersed with the mewing of oats, and tho lowing of an old cow, being tho veritable song of whioh that anoiont femalo died; all these, and. more, were recklessly thrown in without tho slightest regard to any? thing but the desired object of rousing my audienoe. Caring for uothing else, I fixed my eyes on tho Madouna-liko head, and intently watched her face. With the electric thread which seems to connect tho musician and his listener, I was ready to catch the faintest expres? sion of her features, to seizo tho slight? est and most airy fancy of her brain, and transfer it to my strings. Alas, alas, all was fruitless; and after some of tho mad? dest nnd most insane sounds ever emit? ted from a fiddle, I sank thoroughly ex? hausted into a spacious arm-chair, and buried my face in my hands. Tho Prince now approached and thanked me warmly for my services, at the same timo expressing tho gratifica? tion I had afforded him by what ho was pleased to term my wonderful execution and originality of genius. There was a dignity and grand-seignior air about the old nobleman which prevented my laugh? ing utterly at'this dubious compliment to my charlatanry; but I saw at a glance that ho meant no insult, and therefore contented myself with a formal bow. Soon afterward the chamberlain entered the saloon; mouBiegueur politely wished mo good-night, aud my guide conducted me through the long suite of dimly lighted apartments to tho hall. Just as I was leaving, least a glance behind; the divino head was pensive as ever-the dark oyes still glared-the good-natured dowager smiled-the warriors preserved their usual taciturnity, and the group of girls still lingered in tho Bamo corner. I felt I had produced no impression-that I had, moreover, made a fool of myself, and that tho sooner I left the place, tho better. Stung to the quick with morti? fication, I pushed brusquely past the at? tendants, and, declining the proffered carriage, rushed into the street, glad to escape from the mansion. Tho following morning I received a complimentary note, containing a check for ten louis, and expressing a wish to soe ino again in tho course of tho ensu? ing week. Now, ns I said before, I am "only a fiddler," and have to livo by my art; conseqnently, I again accepted the invitation, and drew out a programme of strictly classical music, thinking that my previous selection had probably not been lo tho taste of the listeners. " I should not omit to mention that I was, on each occasion, provided with a pianiste accom? pagnateur. The same stillness pervaded the man? sion ns before, the same ceremony, the same dimly-lighted apartments, and, so far as I could perceive, tho same guests. I played with care, for the idea had seiz? ed my mind that these silent persons were fastidious critics of music, and bad probably not relished my extravagances of last week. I was, therefore, doubly scrupulous, and rendered, with the ut? most ncouracy in my power, Mendels? sohn's magnificent concerto, which was my piece de resistance, and I agaiu had tho mortification of closing without a murmur of that sweot music of applause which is to the executive artist as the breath of life. The exquisito beauty of tho lady with the jasmino flower, faintly seen through tho prevailing gloom, tho soft pensiveness of that countenance, in whose features were blended Athenian grace with tho Madonna inspiration, stolo into my heart, and disturbed its usual placidity-for, recollect, oh! read? er, that I was in the laud of Horneo and Juliet. As usual, tho Prince congratu? lated me ou my performance, and the chamberlain conducted mo to the door. The teu louis wore duly forwarded, and I endeavored to dismiss the subject from my mind; but in dreams there would arise tho figure of a beautiful lady beck? oning mo to celestial bowers, and in tho day-time my mind was haunted by her image. T become restless and moody; found myself, without what lawyers call any malice prepense, walking up aud down in front of the palazzo, gazing nt the windows, in the hope of catching a flimpse of the divine occupant. In fact, began to evince all tho symptoms of a man hopelessly and irretrievably in love. Laugh not, good friends, nt my plight, for it was n sorry one. You who are rich and well born can afford to love; the fair and the young smilingly $trow the path to the citadel of their hearts with roso leaves. And yon again, respected JoncB, who don't exaotly belong to the creme de la creme, can yet afford to love, and ronr np a brood of sturdy little Joneses; but the poor artist, who is neither rich,'nor high born, nor respectables-tho Bohe? mian of society, tho diverting vagabond, whoso only mission is to mitigo to. tho ennui of listless lords and ladies-*what business has he to love, save some rouged ?nd spangled beauty of bia gipsy clan I It ia true, he is admitted into the fami? liarity of the great; he is lionized, and, it may be, flattered, by beautiful women; often, too, he is the recipient of the most delicate confidences; yet, woe betide him, should he for a moment forget his exact position, aud lift his oyes to tho fair forms around him with any other than the coldest and most deferential gaze. Yet, it is hard to do this at all timeB-hard, with your susceptible, nervons organization, to caso your heart in steel, and successfully resist tho blan? dishments of beauty aud refiuemeut. I was fully aware of all this, and that my growing passion was tho direst in? sanity; overythiug-my position in life -tho utter indifference displayed by the object of all this delirium-went to prove the fact. Still, the impassibility, the colduess, tho mystery, only served to add fuel to my raging love, and I was living in a sort of fever. For a time I did no? thing but draw figures of melancholy ladies, with flo wera in their hair, write doggerel sonnet? to Beatrice-I had as? certained her name-wherein tho moon, aud the stars, aud tho sea largely figured, aud tho word love generally rhymed to grovo. During the height of this mad? ness, I arose ono night from my sleepless couch, stifled and restless; I threw open the window; tho gent?o brcezo from the sea, bearing on its wing the voices of flshermen in the bay, mingled with the occasional laughter of a group of lazza roni, listening to the recital of some drollery; the drowsy hum of tho sleep? ing city, and the murmur of tho waves, added to tho picturesque sounds which, in Naples, never cease, day or night-all feuded to compose my mind. I drew on ray dressing gown and slippers, lighted my meerschaum, and sat by tho window, inhaling rich draughts of cool aud grate? ful air. Presently, I soized pen and paper, and began to write. The confused ideas and passionate ravings of my heart now found a vent, and poured themselves forth iu musical forms. Without premeditation or design, my composition took a shape, into which I most happily threw those wild aspirations which, through igno? rance of the medium, had been simply ridiculous abortions on the uncouth can? vass and doggerel verse. So thorougly became I absorbed in my occupation, that I was bewildered when Giulia, the pretty serving-maid, gently tapped at my door to announce tho arrival of my matutiual roll and coffee. I looked ?ron nd ; the lamp still feebly flickered against the now almost brilliant sun-light; a mass of paper lay scattered on the floor, aud tho ashes of the pipe'had fallen on my tat? tered robe de chambre, and curiously per? forated that venerable garment. I hastily gathered the manuscript together, ex? tinguished the lamp, admitted the as? tonished Giulia, discussed my breakfast, and then resumed my work. By noou it was finished, aud finished to my satis? faction; I entitled it "A Dream of Love." The same evening I was again engaged at the palnzzo, and went this timo tri? umphantly armed with my new compo sitiou, which I had dedicated to "Tho Unknown Lady." She was, as usual, just visible through the perpetual twi? light which reigned in the abode, with the same placid expression of goodness in her divinely beautiful face. Tho swarthy stranger was also there, aud his eyes rested on me as wildly as ever; the good-humored dowager was good-hu? mored still; the girls, as far os a group of sea-nymphs, appeared, like those way? ward beings, devoid of human souls, for they were utterly unimpressionable. The other ladies and gentlemen maintained their usual frigid demeanor. I played a romance of Beethoven's; Brunt's Elegie; a selection of the Lieder ohne Worte; and then m3T own Dream of Love. Up to this time T had evidently made no way; my audience was unmoved, and I began to feel nervous, for I had staked all my hopes on the success of this last compo sitiou. At length I commenced, and gazing on the being of my idolatry, drank inspiration from that queenly brow. Tho tender strain proceeded coy and gentle as a bashful lover's vows; then gradually warming instinctively, becamo hurried, uncertain, fierce and strong, until, reaching tho climax of frenzy, its passiou exploded, in a wild burst, and then, iu broken sobs, and scarcely articulate sighs, it slowly died away in silence. I fixed my straining eye balls on the unknown lady, and sought to divo into the secret recesses of her soul. With a throbbing heart and foverod brow, I threw into the music all the fir? which tormented my breast. The violin was no longer a mero musical instrument, but rather a human soul, pouring forth thc wailing melodics of "somo divine despair," whose piteous accents must touch the coldest heart. Alas! it touched not hers. Tho dark eyes glared fiercely; the dowager relaxed not a muscle of that stereotyped smile; that detested smile nearly drove mo mad. Tho maidens wero passive as usual; and the heroes stood stolid as blocks of stone. I felt ray head turning, and in a paroxysm of agony at tho ruin of all my hopes, I flung aside my instrument, nnd, utterly reckless of consequence0, throw myself at tho feot of the lady and wildly seized her arm, when-O that the earth hod opened to receive mo, and hide my shame!-tho exquisite member crumbled into dust, and she, the madly-worshipped queen of my soul, toppled over from her seat, and with a fearful crash, fell to tho ground, dashed into n hundred frag? ments. * * * * * j recollect no? thing further of what occurred; but when I regained my senses, I was at homo, attended by a careful nurse and .the ever-watchful Giulia. For some days, I was not allowed to allude to any subject of an exciting nature; but when my constitution had finally triumphed, and I was one evening sitting on tho bal? cony, still weak, but rapidly recovering, the honest girl put a letter into*my hand, vf hieb she had orders to deliver to mo as GOOD as tho ph voici an would allow. I broke the seal and read os follows: "Sin: Your rash conduct has been cruelly punished, and I feel it has now become my duty to remove tho mystery whioh has so painfully affected yon. I am an old man, nud bavo survived most of my co temp orari es; consequently, I live chiefly in tho past, amidst departed friends and bygouo memories. For years I havo existed in this manner, alone, and yet surrounded by tho dear familiar faces of those I loved best on earth. As each cherished friend died, I called into requisition the skill of the modeller, and in wax, clothed in their usual dress, wearing their usual expres? sion, I havo thus preserved my house? hold gods around me. Remembering their various tastes, I procuro thoso amusements to which they were most addicted, and for this purpose I secured your ability. In theso scones, I live again, and tho pleasures of memory crowd my brain. In fact, I bavo few other sources of joy left than those which lio embalmed in the past. Thoso figures you saw in tho dim light are the exact-exact, yet alas, how different representations of my departed friends and relatives; and the lady dressed in blue satin was my only daughter-good and pure as au augel. Ah! tho wound is re-opened. Adieu forever. PRINCE AOL P-." Eucloscd was a check for fifty louis, and a ring, containing a lock of raven hair, set iu diamonds. At first, I was furious; I resolved to return, with bitter reproaches, theso hated cadeaux, but the Prince was gone, no ono knew whither. Thus bullied, I tore up into a thousand shreds my nocturno, drawings, sonnets, otc. I was covered with confusion and shame. To have thus madly loved a wax figure! All Naples would be pelting with ridicule the luckless foreign fiddler. I must instantly leave tho accursed place, and onco moro plunge into the active scenes of daily life. Fortunately, how? ever, I found my adventure was not known, so I quietly resigned my ap? pointment, and bade farewell to Naples -a city I havo never re-visited. Many years had elapsed, and iu thc varied sceneB of a busy professional life, the above circumstances had nearly faded from my memory, when, to my astonishment, one morning, not long ago, I received a small parcel from abroad, containing the miniature portrait of a beautiful girl, exquisitely painted. A letter accompanied this gift, wherein I was officially informed tbnt, by the will of the late Princo Paul--, recently deceased, at an advanced age in Moscow, I became entitled to this portrait, to? gether with some manuscript music, aud a largo sum of mouey. Tho music I found to bo no other than a copy of my forgotten Dream, which had been left in the palazzo on tho night of that dire con? fusion. Lost in amazement, I gazed at tho well-remembered features until my mind dreamily wandered buck through the long years to the sombro mansion, tho eccentrio old nobleman, the silent party, and my astounding affaire de CO'iw on tho Cb ia ja.
