the agitated mass of waters as they rolled on with
impetuous fury against the rocks His dream of
misery, however, soon disturbed BY female
voice singing near him. He started up and gazed
round him though the notes were sweet, they
were wild, broken, and frenzied ; and Ivan, with
chilling horror, bcheld Ulrica, his once beloved u
RIGA, leaning over the edge of tremendous peak of
the rock. In state of mind little superior to hers
Kinsky began ascending the frightful eminence on
which the phantom stood-for it appeared almost
impossible for human footsteps to have climbed the
summit of the cliff The projecting crags at times
hid her from his view but the sound of that voice,
whose every tone was a fresh stab to bis heart,
guided the unhappy soldier to the spot.
The moon now shone brightly through the Clouds
and he paused moment to contemplate the dread
full wreck of all his earthly hopes. Her long fair
hair foated loosely round her shoulders, fantascal-
ly wreathed with wild flowers, ivy, and sprgs OF
yew; her face was pale rs marble its expression
stern and desperate; her white garments waved in
the blast and she remained motionless, gazing
the foaming pillows that ragged beneath her feet
But she was alone. All his former affection rushed
over the soul of Kinsky; and, springing forward,
Ulrica my unhappy, lost tIlrca is it thus, and
such night, we meet ~ Here his feelings
overpowered him. and he bowed his face on his
hands, and wept, whilst the maniac replied,
"Who are you that ask for the wretched VI.
RIGA { Why do you weep Have you lost true
love had one once, but he died in the wars"
He lives, Ulrica it is he who now kneels be-
fore you. Look me, Ulrica tell me that you
still remember Ivan Kinsky." She gazed on him
with vacant stare. eyes yes you the En-.
peror of Germany, you come to drag to prison
have done brave deed to-nght-will you kill me
for that :" And here she clenched her hands, and
burst into delrious laugh. Her child occurred to
the mind of Knsky and in tone of horror he said,
FAINT % The maniac pointed to the waves, and be-
gan singing
"Where the dark tide runs strongest the cliff rises
steps
Where the wild waters eddy, I've rock'd him to
sleeps
His sleep is sound that the rush of the stream
When the winds are abroad, cannot waken his
dream !"
"Great God you have not surely murdered

81 have have !" shreked the maniac. 500
you not see his body floating amidst the waves yon-
der % Then, pausing whilst frghtfu smile passed
over her wan features, she held up her hands
they were dyed with blood, and Kinsky, shuddeling,
buried his face in his mantle as those wild tones

bless him did not long survive; but he made a
good end and we buried him under his favourte
tree and of all his kindred there was only old De-
borah and Zousky there left to mourn"
sBut Ulrica Waverman my beloved Ulrca,
where was she Alas l fear she is no longer liv-
ing!"
''Oh yes she lives poor lasse, and was even
here just now. But what have you, Master Ivan,
to do with Ulrca Waverman Surely your thoughts
do not run upon her still :"
Why surely, Deborah, YOU have forgotten that
she is my betrothed wife, the last, the dearest tie
that binds me to this world,' cried Ivan, whilst
something in the old Woman's look and voice star
tied him.
60 But years have passed since then, my son. and
ulrca is wife for you, replied the dame, regard
ing the soldier with plying glance.
s'She is married. then 7" exclaimed kinsky,
graspng the arm of Deborah-'' Speak out, old
woman, nor torture me with these insnuations."
'Aas! :" returned Deborah, 81 would she were
wife-the poor girl is distracted"
'Distracted ' echoed Ivan, in tone almost
mounting to scream of anguish ''perhaps the
news of my DEATH"
''No no '' replied the old woman, Interrupt
ting him ''though perhaps that might have struck
the first blow to her reason for she sorrowed nigh
tly for your loss"
''Then what in the name of Heaven can have
occasioned this dreadful calamity ;" asked the agi-
tated Ivan.
About three years ago, my son, the young
Count La Mark to take possession of an estate
near this village. He saw pretty Ulrca and
fell desperately in love with her. She believed his
false promises, and yielding to his passion became
the mother of hapess child. Just at this period
soldier passing through the village, brought the
news that Ivan Kinsky was still living. This intel
ligence together with the conviction of her guilt,
turned the brain of the unhappy girl. Madly at
tached to her scducer, she gave herself up to de-
spair. Since the death of her mother have resided
with her but she is seldom at home, and wanders
about the rocks near the sea with her little boy,
singing sad dtties to the winds and waves The
Count, who still loves her, tonight, and they
left the house togetherl" Here the old woman
ceased her relation, and Ivan who had listened to
her tale with fearless horror started up and rushed
from the house.
The wind, that had been gradually rising during
The day, now blew perfect hurricane, and swept
through the old fir-trees in hollow and tempestuous
gusts. The dmly struggling through

THE DISSOLUTION.


lence reigned over all the landscape; not
sound was to be heard, save alternately the
harsh notes of the owl, as he sat screaming
upon some withered elm in the midst Of the
forest, and now and then a distant peal Of
thunder, as it rolled along the northern sky,
but at so great distance as to be scarcely dis
cernable amid the rustlings of the gentle breeze
it blew through the thick tops of the neigh
bourng trees, that ALFRED was called to watch
by the sick bed of one who, of all others, was
the nearest to his heart
Six months had scarcely yet passed away
since his nuptials with HARRIET, and during
that time her health had been constantly on "a
decline. Physicians had been frequently called,
but none of them had been successful towards
etiectIng her recovery, or could even account
for her complaint till her debiltated frame prov
ed to them the painful certainty that she was fast
wasting by consumption. For some weeks pre-
vious to her dissolution, she had, as are usual in
this complaint, intervals of apparent GONZALES
cence during these periods she would converse
with cheerfulness, and had even manifested hope
that she would yet recover her health
She was enjoying one of these intervals the
evening in which have before mentioned her;
she was even more cheerful than she had been
for some time before, and from her uncommon
ease Of body, it was thought she might continue
so for some time. That she might rot be dis
turbed by too much company Iii the room, 1t was
Judged prudent that she should not have more
than one to attend her during the night, and AL
FRED was considered the one most suitable for
that purpose.
The clock had chimed twelve, and no altera-
ton had, to appearance, taken place. She had
conversed freely, till he became apprehenslve
that she was going beyond her strength, and he
cautioned her to take little rest, to which she
submitted, and appeared to be settling into
calm sleep All was then silent. ALFRED sat
Illuminating on his present painful situation, tor
he feared that he would soon be deprived of all
he held dear in this world, but yet hoped that
she might be permitted to continue with him for
some weeks, and even dwelt upon the thought,
that she might yet recover her former healthy
for the mind of man is always induced to hope
for the best, even though the worst is apparent
ly the only prospect before him:
Full of these visionary thoughts, ALFRED sat
silent as the house of death, till deep groan
from HARRIET drew his attention to her bed
side He advanced towards her, and she held
out her hand as if to take his for the last time
he took it, felt her pulse, and observing faint
ness, and rregularty in its beating, turned to go
and call up the other inmates of the house; but
| she told him it would be in vain; it would soon
| be over with her; that it would only make dis
| turbance, and she wished to die in peace.
| She told him not to grieve for her death, that
