ADVENTURE OF A GERMAN STUDENT.
From Tales ola Trareller," by Washington hrimg
On stormy night in the tempestuous times ofthe
French revolution, young German was returning
to his lodgings at late hour, across the old part OF
Paris. The lightning cleaned and the loud claps of
thunder ratified through the narrow streets-but |
shall first tell you something of this young gentle
Gottfrcd Wolfgang young man of good ia
my. He had studied for some time at Gottingen,
but being of visionary and enthusiastic 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 nature of his studies, had effect
on both mind and body. HIS health was impaired
his imagination diseased. He had been indulging
his fanciful speculaons spiritual essences, until
like Swedenborg he had an ideal world of his own
around him. He took notion, l do not know from
what cause, that there was evil influence hanging
over him; evil genius spirit seeking to
him and ensure his perdition, Such idea work
ing on his melancholy temperament produced the
most gloomy effects. He became haggard and
Responding. His friends discovered the mental ma
lady that preying upon him, and determined
that the best cure was change of scene, he was
sent, therefore, finish his studies among the splen
dour and gaeties of Paris.
Wolfgang arrived at Paris at the breaking out of
the revolution The popular derium at first caught
his enthusiastic mind, and he was captivated by the
political and philosophical theories Of the day but
the scenes of blood which followed, shocked his
sensitive nature, disguised him with society and the
world, and made him more than ever recluse. He
shut himself up in solitary apartment in the Pays
Latin, the quarter of students. There, in gloomy
street, not far from the monastc walls of the Sor-
bonnie, he pursued his favorite speculations. Some
times he spent hours together in the libraries of Pa
ris, those catacombs Of departed authors, rumma

in the world had been launched into eternity
He approached and addressed her in the accents
of sympathy. She raised her head and gazed Wild
" at him. What was his establishment at behold
ing, by the bright glare of the lightning, TIE very
face which had haunted him in his dreams!-It was
pale and dsconsolate, but ravishngly beautiful
Trembling with violent and conflicting emotions,
Wofgang again accosted her. He spoke some
thing of her being exposed at such an hour of the
night, and to the fury of such storm, and offered
to conduct her to her friends. She pointed to the
guillotne with gesture of dreadful signifcation-
81 have no friend on earth % said she.
''But you have home" said Wolfgang.
''Yes-in the grave J"
The heart of the student melted at the words
"If stranger dare make an offer, said he
"without danger of being misunderstood, would
offer my humble dwelling as shelter; myself as
devoted friend | am friendless myself in Paris,
and stranger in the land but if my life could be
of service it is at your disposal and should be ss
crifced before harm or indgnity should come to
you.''
There honest earnestncss in the young
mans manner that had its effect His foreign &C
cent, too, in his favor; it showed him not to
be a hackneyed inhabitant of Paris Indeed, there
is eoquence in true enthusiasm that is not to be
doubted. The homeless stranger conhded herself
implicitly to the protection of the student.
He supported her faultering steps the Pont
Neuf, and by the place where the statue of Henry
the Fourth had been overthrown by the popuace
The storm had abated, and the thunder rumbled at
distance All Paris was quiet that great volcano of
human passion sumbered for awhile, TO gather fresh
strength for the next days eruption. The student
conducted his charge through the ancient streets Of
the Pays Latin, and by the dusky walls of the sor
bonnie, to the great dngy hotel which he inhabited.
The old porteress who admitted them, started with
surprise at the unusual sight of the melancholy
Wolfgang with female companion
On entering his apartment the student, for the
first time blshed at the scantness and indifference
of his dwelling. He had but one chamber; an old
fashioned saloon, heavily carved and Enthusiastically
furnished with the remains of former magnihcencc
for it was one of those hotels in the quarter Of the
Luxembourg palace which had once belonged to
nobility. 1t was numbered with books and papers,
and all the usual apparatus of student, and his bed
stood in recess At one end.
When lights were brought, and Wolfgang had a
better opportunity of contemplating the strange,
he was more than ever intoxicated by her beauty
Her face pale, but of dazzling fairness, set off
b. a plot,ision OF raven hair that hung clustering
about it. Her eyes were large and brilliant with
a singular expression that approached almost 10

works in quest of food for his unhealthy appetite
He was, in manner, literary gou, feeding in the
charnel house of decayed literature.
Wolfgang, though solitary and recuse, was of an
ardent temperament, but for time it operated mere
ly upon his imagination. He too shy and igno-
rant of the world to make any advances to the fair,
but he passionate admlrer of female beauty,
and in his lonely chamber would lose himself in re-
veres forms and faces which he had seen, and his
fancy would deck out images of loneliness far sur
passing the reality.
While his mind was in this excited and subll-
mated state, he had dream, which produced
extraordinary effect upon him. 1t of female
face of transcendant beauty. So strong the i'm
preston it made, that he dreamed of it again and
again. 1t haunted his thoughts by day, his slumbers
by night in fine he became enamoured of this sha-
dow of dream. This lasted SO long, that it became
one Of those fixed ideas which haunt the minds of
melancholy men, and are at times mistaken for mad
ness.
Such Gottfred Wolfgang, and such his situa-
ton at the time | have mentioned He re-
turning home late stormy night through some
of the old and gloomy streets of the Marais, the
ancient part of Paris. The loud claps Of thunder
ratified among the high houses of the narrow streets.
He came to the Place de Greve, the square where
public executions performed. The lightning
quivered about the pinnacles Of the ancient Hotel
de Vile, and shed Pickering CLEANS the open
space in front. AS Wolfgang crossing tie
square, he shrunk back with horror at finding him
self close by the guillotine 1t was the height of
the reign of terror, when this dreadful instrument
of death stood ready, and its scafold was con-
tinuay running with the blood of the virtuous and
the brave. 1t had that very day been actively en-
ployed in the work of carnage, and there it stood
in grim array amidst the silent and sleeping city,
waiting for fresh victims.
Wolfgang's heart sickened within him. and he
was turning shuddering from the horrible engine,
when he behold shadowy form covering as it
were at the foot of the steps which led up to the
scafold. Asuccession of vivid flashes Of Lightning,
revealed it more distinctly. 1t was female figure
dressed in black. She was seated on one of the
lower steps of the scatfold, leaning forward, her
face hid in her lap and her long dshevelled trcss
es hanging to the ground, streaming with the rain
which fell in torrents. Wofgang paused. There
was something awful in this solitary monument OF
wo. The female had the appearance of being
above the common order. He knew the times to
be full of vicissitude, and that many fair head,
which lad once been pillowed on down, now wan
dered houseless. Perhaps this some poor
mourner, whom the dreadful axe had rendered
desolate, and who sat hcart-broken the stand Of

THE LAPSE OF TINE.

Lament who will, in frutless tears,
The speed with which our moments fly:
sigh not over vanished years,
But watch The years that hasten by.
See how they come, mingled crowd
OF bright and dark, but rapid days.
Beneath them, like a summer cloud,
The wide world changes as gaze.
What grieye that time has brought SO soon
The sober age of manhood on
As idly should weep at noon,
To see the blush of morning gone.
Gould forego the hopes that glow
In prospect, like Elysian isles'
and let the charming future go,
With all her promises and smiles
The future cruel were the power
Whose doom would tear thee from my heart
Thou sweetener Of the present hour!
We cannot--no-we will not part.
oh leave me, still, the rapid fight
That makes the changing seasons gay,
The grateful speed that brings the night, n
The swift and glad return of day.
The months that touch with loyelier grace
This little prattler at m, knee,
In whose arch eye and speaking face
New meaning every hopr see.
The years that DER each sister land
Shall lift the country of my birth,
And, from her frown, shall shrink, afraid,
The crowned oppressors of the earth.
True--time will seam and blanch my brow
WE'LL shall sit with aged men,
And my good glass will tell me how
A grisly beard becomes me then.
And should no foul dishonor lie
Upon my head when am gray,
Love yet may search my fading eye,
And smooth the path of my decay.
Then haste thee, time-'tis kindness all
That speeds thy winged feet so fast;
Thy pleasures stay not ill they pail,
And all thy pains are quickly past.
Thou fiies' and bears away our woes;
And, as thy shadowy train depart,
Ihe memory of sorrow grows
a lighter burden on the heart.
