THE VISION OF LA FAYETTE,
IN THE DUNGEONS OF MAGpEBURG

II was at The close OF a stormy day in
the year 1894, that soldier, on who's
brow sat the grace OF manhood and the
dignity OF command, was conducted by
an armed band Of soldiers TO the dungeons
of Magdeburg He seemed thoughtful and
ark Gus, but above all fear. As he look
ed around his cell, and was examining the
guds cons and hooks OF iron in the massy
wall, grim attendant whispered in bis
ear. in a low snd sullen voice This was

tunes were lost in contemplating the pro-
tracied sufferings OF that noble and bjgb-
minded victim OF royal Jealousy and as
the horrors OF such confinement entered his
soul, be murmured an imprecaiion against
despotic power, united with a mental
prayer for the Tong lost Liberties Of man.
The light, though dim, was sufficient TO
shew him the strength of bis prison, and
force upon bin the hopelessness Of escape.
Exhausted by the fatigue of a hurried jour.
ney, he stretched bis weary limbs on
pallet of straw thrown on the floor Of the
dungeon. The Thoughts of bis wife and
children occupied bis mind for short
time, and alternately buried and chilled
bis pulse; but after committing himself and
them TO thai good Being who IS the friend
of The captive and consolation of the
wEetcbed, he sunk into slumbers, s~eeter
and caImer than the bard hearted oppres-

THE VALE OF CHAMOY.
IT was thus the delighted Bard of Erin sung in the
beautiful vale of Avoca and when the genius of
poetry scatters her sacred incense. in the maturity
of its richness over sylvan scenery, some other
minstrel will celebrate, in strains sweet, the un-
excelled beauty of the Vale of Chamoy, though,
as yet, its green arbours are tenantess its majestic
butonwoods and lofty pines spread abroad in blue
sky, uncouded by the smoke of cities, and its ro
mantle shrubbery blooms uncultured. Thirty years
ago, rude log hut stood by the large moss sur
rounded spring, from which the little rivulet that
bears the valley name flows away towards the dis
tant river and beautiful girl might have been
seen among the solitary trees, or sitting beside the
clear and gentle waters, watching its flow along the
green banks, or earnestly gazing towards the west
as the declining sun sunk down behind the lofty
and overwhelming hills. In the neatness and ee
gance of her attire; in the mild and gentle grace
tulness of her form and STEP and, more than all, in
the pale but enchanting beauty of her features,
which slight tnge of thought was blended with
thousand attractive charms she reminded one of
the pictured fairy of romantic tale, breathing
out her soul in worship of the wild and splendid
sublimities Of the forest scenery, by day, and the
outspread armament, glowing with its million stars,

Theirs was the history of crossed but persevering,
adventurous, heroic love from the abodes of men,

happier far in the possession of each others love,
surrounded by forests and mountains, than they

Two summers passed away in the Valley of Cha
moy, and every evening Albert welcomed to
his hut by the gentle Augusta, and laid the choice
tribute of mountain game at her feet Again the
warm spring suns had melted the SHOWS from the
steep hills, and the ice had been swept away from
the gentle stream. The young couple looked for
ward to the summer with delight. Albert had pur-
chased considerable tract of land from distant
proprietor, which lay further down the brook and
contemplating its Improvement A neat
little dwelling already before his fancy, and
green fields, and heecy focks and lowing herds,
were already present to his mind He thought how
much sweeter would be the enjoyment Augustus
smiles afforded, when he could reflect he had re-
stored to her some portion, however small, of those
luxures of which he had deprived her.
Full of the thought, he returned one evening
from the arduous pursuit of game, and, passing on
the hilltop, to hear the sound Of his beloved ones

home, his heart beat quick, as the utmost, the
most breathless attention, he could not hear the
one see the other. 1t was the first time his eye

bled along his heart strings and he fastened to the
lonely habitaton. 1t was lonely indeed The old

Horror took possession of Aberts soul-he call

the places of her favorite haunts, but not trace

is said to have happened very recently, and which
will touch the feelings Of most of my readers, as it
did mine.
She was playing on her harpschord, and her
lover used often to accompany her on the harp; he
died, and his harp had remained in her ROOM
After the first of despair she sunk into the
deepest melancholy and much time elapsed ere
she could sit down to her instrument At last she
did so, gave some touches, and, bark the harp,
tuned alike, resounded in echo The good girl was
at first seized with secret shuddering, but soon
felt kind of soft melancholy. She thought herself
firmly persuaded that the spirit Of her lover was
softly sweeping the strings of the instrument.
The harpsichord, from this moment, constituted
her only pleasure, as it alone afforded her the JOY
full certainty that her lover still lowering about

know and clear up every thing, once entered her
apartment; the girl instantly begged him to be quiz

which overcame her reason, he laughed. and with
great deal of learning, proved to her, by expert
mental physics that all this was very natural. From
