On stormy night, in the tcmpestuous times
OF Tie French revolution, young German was
returning To ms lodgings, ut a late hour across
the old part OF Paris. The lightning rIearneJ
and the loud claps of thunder ratified through the
narrow streets-but shall first tell YOU some

family. tie had studied for some time at Got
tIngen, but being OF a visionary and entilr,ias-
tic character, he had wandered into those wild
and speculative doctrines which have so often
bewildered German students. His secluded
life, his intense application and the regular ma
tuTe of his studies, had an effect on both mind
and body. His health was impaired. his ina
gination diseased. He had been indulginp his
fancfnl speculations on spiritual essences, until
like SwedcnbOrg nc bad an ideal world of his
own around him. Hc took notion, do not
know from what cause, that there was an evil
influence hanging over bin: an evil genius of
spirit seeking to ensDare him and ensure his
pcriJtIon. such an idca working or, his ruelar,-
choy temperament produced tie most gloomy
effects. He became hag5Srd and desparinp.
His friends discovered TIC mental maady that
was preying II on him. ard determined that the
best cure was change of scene; nc was sent
therefore, to finish ii3 stu!ics amongst the spcu-
douF and gaicties of Paris.
,Volfg5og arrived at Paris at the breaking
out of the revolution. The popular dclirinm
