toted to him the outrageous behaviour of Healing.

At his neat meeting with Hans, he animadverted
strongly upon his corn:het; and the latter offered,
as an apology, the itpciftabaily of his love. The

About this time she one rnorniug missed the

She thooght it must have been taken from her lira

with Heeling behind the hoarse. In tears, she told
it to her father, who laughed at her mistrust, assert-
ing. that could set no such value upon
the cross ; that he was not a IMO for such sonorous
toying, and that she had certainly lost it in some
other manner. Notwithstanding this she remained
unshaken in her °pistol', and observed very plainly,
that Wiling renewed his addres•es with great
seriousness and circumspection. Her father, too, be-
came every day mote urgent, and at last declared

she should give her baud to Healing—that Arnold

Elsbeth, meanwhile, sat weeping and praying on
a hill at the entrance of the village, which coin-
mantled a view to a great extent along the road to
Prague. A cloud of dust became in the dis-
tance ; her heart throbbed violently ; but as soon as

looking any longer on the On a sud-
den, the youth sprung from his steed knelt

I should be sorry to oppose your wishes," said Veit,
turning to Arnold ; " disti:iguislied artist, the
girl is youi's; and may the blessing of God be
upon you !" Unable to express their gratitude,
the happy pair threw themselves at Isis feet : he
folded them to his bosom, mid constancy at last
met his reward.

" Friend Veit," began the old man, after a long
silence, interrupted only by the exclamations of joy
which proceeded from the lover., " Friend Veit. I

shmild wish to snake one rrque.t snore of you.
Unite your children to-morrow morning without

son, when he had recovered from his ecstacy, reused

had, at their last visit, quitted in despair.
At the grave they again plighted their troth, both
inspired with a feeling of religious awe. " Dues
hot," whispered Arnold, embracing his betrothed
with ardour, " does ant this moment of blessedness
overbalance three whole years of pain ? We have
attained the summit of our wishes; life bas no
higher enjoyment to bestow ; it is only above that
soy purer bliss awaits us!"—" All, that we could
once die thus, arm on arm, heart rrii heart," sighed
Elsbeth.—" Die!" repeated Arnold, " yea. oil your
breast! Gracious Providence ! Ley it not to our
charge, that, even its the oveillowiti„; 'f our pre-
sent joy, we entertain a feeling of something still
higher. With grateful hearts we acknowledge
the abundance of thy bounty ! Yes, Elsheili,
let us pray here on our father's grave, and ofrer
thansgivitig for the beneficence of Heaven !"
It was a silent prayer, hut fervent aid sincere ; and
the lovers reininld home is undefinable emotion,
The morrow was r tine clear day ; it was Friday,
and the Festival of St. Laurence. There was a
bustle through the whole village ; at the door of
very cottage stood youths and maidens in their
holiday attire; for Veit was rich, mid every suitable
preparataiii had been wade for the nuptials.
Uci-
liug's door alone was shut, for it was Fiiday ; and
it will be recollected, that he never let himself be
seen on that day.
The procession to the church was presently set
in motion, for the purpose of e"niltietiug the joyful
pair to the loveliest of all ahleitihiliee. Veit ;and
Arnold's ',rumps! walked together, and shed tears
of unfeigned joy, on witnessing Ilia lialiphiess of
their children. Veit had chosen an open place
under a large linden iii the middle of the village,
for the celebration of the marriage-feast. Thither
the traits proceeded whets the rites were at au end.
The light, as it were, of heaven, shone from the
eyes of the loriiig pair. The les,ive meal coniniutd
fur several hours, and goblets crowned with Ilawers
ulten rung to the toast, "• Loirg lite Arnold and
his lovely bride!"
At last, the new-married couple, with the two
fathers, Arnold's friends, and some of Elshrtli's
ceseapastions, forsook the linden for the farm on the
Exerberg. The house wss liesutifully situated

wines sparkled in the cups of the guests.
Twilight had already darkened the valley, but
unuoticed by the joyful circle. At length the last
faint glimmer of dry disappeared, and a tartar
starry night saluted Arnold and Ins bride. The
old Veit began even to speak of his youthful
years, and entered so warmly into the subject,
that midnight now approached, and Arnold rut
