W" By an inconceivable fatality, by an obstinate caprice of fashion, Wisba den hainever been treated according to its deserts. Situated one league from the Rhine, between Magence and Frankfort, Wishaden is a delight ful town, and far surpasses Baden, its fortunate rival. But B3aden is nearer France, and this neighbour - hood notes its fortune. The Russian Lord3, who are not permitted to come to us, approach cur frontiers as near as possible : for want of better, they find at Baden a reflection and an echo of France ; Baden, then, will enjoy its reputation until it may please the Emperor of Rissia to for bid this sojourn to his noble shores. If you would find at once, and at your pleasure, company and retire mnent, a crowd and solitude, noise and silence, go to Wisbaden. Elsc where the whirlwind carries you away with it, pleasures pursue you, joyous voices incessantly raound in your cars ; but there you are allowed to be alone, fashion exercises no tyranny, and'you ieed only partake of the pleasures and entertaitinments which are offered you, as you Feel disposed. Wisbaden is wonderfully adapted for those who have a book to a write, or a pain of the soul to heal : there you find, side by side with the liveliest diversions, the necessarv shelter for profound meditations, and 1 f-r mel ucholy reTeries. The charm that Wisbaden posses 'es 'had kept in its bosom for s.ime time, four young perions exiled from their m , ~ eo try,. ach fou!l there from tIlim a'n a friendl y voice ; he could. coverse or' hi country with a travelling fellow-coun tryman, and that was a consolation whuich must have been dear and pre cious to those who had lost everything else. A comnmon misfortune had brought together the four exiles, an1d they had at once made unitual dis closures to each other in coniidence, with regard to their :nisfortunes. One of them, Baron Ladislas de L-, was Captain in the service of a sovereign whon we shall not name. His misfortunes had their origin in a romantic love. The countess Alexina Medianoff, widow of a general-oflicer, a young lady of the highest distinction andl of the greatest beauty, was obliged to leave her province and cone to pros ecute in the Capital a laW-suit in whidh the greatest part of her fortume was involved. Resolved to live in retirement, the countess dwelt in a little house between the city nd the country, at the extremity of a su burb. This house had been left to her by an aunt. Although so well concealed, and so attentive to keep herself removed from the world, the countess could not, however, escape the looks of all ; and she soon in spired two passions, both of them dangerous, one for lhim who expei enced it, the other for her who was the object of it. The two adorer-s of the countess wero Captain~ Ladislas, who met her at church, and the soy creign of thme country, one of the most powerful Princes of Eur'opc, who met her walking. The young Captain, possessing lit tle but his cloak and his swoi-d, kepat himself in the modest arid timid r serve of a love which hopes but little. I.. e watched the hour-s when the coun 'toss was in the habit of going to the -houso of her men of business ; lie fojl howed her at a distance ; in oirder to approach and to speak to her, lhe lavished more science and skilful combinations thani would have been reqjuisite to gain a victory at the head of an army. As we might sup~pose, the Prince was not so dhiscreet as the ofiier. lie set to wvork in a different manner, and as a man who had never founid re 649 sistance. Disdaining the delicate approaches of a sentimental strategy, in his advances lie made use only of tho cavalier courtesy, and the confi (lent amid daring gallantry, which suit a crownod head ; but his advances were very ill received. Tfhen sur pieand vexation irritated the pas ioofthe mounarch ; lhe threwv him u-.,f into a thousand extravagances; he exposed hiis anger and his desires, and ho onded by putting inito play the abuses of p~owver, and tho violent means which he ciAdd dispose of. For instance, tle countess lhst her law-suit. Tho Forms and tho duties ofjistice were outrageously violated on this occasion ; the Princo had written the decree, tle judges pro. unu11iicll it. Ii this matter, tle Prince had madd use of a sufliciently plausible reason ing : he had said to hiiself with an ingenious Wisdom: I shall more easily succeed in conquering tie rebel, when she shall have been re~hiced to poverty." But this time the tuoniarch had de ceived hinself. The vii tue of thle countess did not allow itself to be de jected by mnisfortime, and when She was off1ered a splenldid 'alace, full of luxury and of riches, she replied, "I prefer ay humble house in the su burl." The bull womded in the flank by the sword of the picador is iot more l1irious than was tle l'rince, when) lie felt tle goadinlg sever ity of this re pi ly. lie swore to break through all obstacles, and to eaploy, if necessary, his entire ..bsolute lower to impose a favorable teruination on the adven ture so unsuccessfully commenced. One evening, the countess liul one to dine in tile city : she had left h1om1e at four o'clock, and was return iin, at imtidnight. I1er carriage tra versed the deserted suburb without accident. In front of her house ex tenled a little park, enclosed by an iroln railing, was open that evening, contrary to custom. The carriage passed ra jidly througlh an1 alley of Clhestmauit trees. & st'plied ; instead of getting downli fromau his seat, the conelh man amnazed, ruib'd his eyes, and looked arouini him. " Why do You nut open the door f'r 1 ie ?" said the couinltuss, etting imip.l1ieit. The *chuammui heyed, was le: the cu. 7) wa th7en as toulided in her tuirn i.

ATTAR Of .ROSES-1IoW IT IS MIADE?-The rI -s of Ghazipoor, on the river Gang., are cultivated in enormous fields of acres. The do lightful odor from these fields can be smelled at seven miles distance on the river. The valuable article of colnIneree known as attar of roses, is made here in the following manuer: On forty pounds of roses are poured sixty pounds of water, and they are then distilled over a slow fire, and thirty pounds of rose water obtained. This rose water is then poured over forty pounds of roses, and from that is distilled at most twenty pounds of rose water; this is then exposed to the cold ii:4it air, and in the morn ing a small qjutantity of oil is foundl on the surface. Fromn eigh1ity poundttis of roses, about 200,O00, at the uttmosit an ounce and a half' of oil is obtained; and even at G1hazipoor' it costs for'ty rupees ($20) an ounce.
