THE RENUNCIATION.--A TALE.

The castle Of La Fontaine was situated on the
Rhine: The entrances to it were defended by
ditch and draW-bridge, which gave admission to
spacious court, overgrOWn with high grass and
led to the grand hall from which the apartments
Of the castle appeared. These gloomy rooms
adorned with magnificent furniture, gave decided
proof Of their antiquity, and filed the mind with
sensations of solemn awe, when viewing the fallen
grandeur of departed opuence The battlements
appeared proudly to overlook theRhine seeming to
bid defiance to the ravages of time and the fury of
storm; while the hanging woods, of fir and pine.
yelled its rugged walls from common observation.
Within the castle bloomed the beauteou3 and fair
Antoinette, who was pattern Of female softness
delicacy, and goodness love had not vet entered
her youthful breast, and she knew no BLESSING so
great that of her fathers tenderness and her sis

the kcenest anguish she had ever felt seized her on
the death of Monsieur La Fontaine. her .only sur
