 THE BOHEMIAN.
 Count Adrian Von Dberfeldt was q German noble of the seventeenth cen tury. His youth had been spent in Versailles, amid the polished gallantfy ofLoais NIN'seouft. in astateofsoeie= tyso faeetious and so craving of excite ment the young ardent German, with all the. romantic feelings of his country sermeniing at his heart, was certain to be exceedingly attractive. But tilis ef- feet must speedily destroy it's cause the bloom which invited the touch hwas Horn of by it's frequency. If the warmth of Adrian's disposition was at first likely to blind him, tue keenness and vigor oi liis mind speedily dissipated the mist, and like many persons of similar and me qualities, he became spoiled, from the very reason of possessing them.
 When twenty-four years old, he was, to his great annoyance and mortified ion, recalled to his own country.
 Few things could be more different fhan the boy who went and the man who returned. 1t is true, the blooming youth had rlpened into the handsome lnaii, and the cultivated mind showed out the effects of cultivation on the ori- ginal soil. But the ardent. confidine disposition, the heart yeafning to love and be beloved, the generous, sacrificing unreserve of boyish feelings, were gone. They had given place to the selGshness of an indulged epicurian; the calcuia- ting skill of a man whose commerce with woman had been that of intrigue instead of love.
 To such a person, country castle in saxony could not be very agreeable resldence-and 1t is not wonderful that 60 common a thing as Fair at Leipzig should have sufficient attraction to draw him thither. At this Fair, his at tentlonis arrested by group of Bohe- maln glpsies. Three of the number struck up a wild and spirited airupon a nute and two guitars; while q fourth with tamborinc in her hand spra.na Into the centre of the circle, which had gathered around them, and began te dance. She was a young girl, appa. gently about sixteen, she wasslenaer and hnely formed, like most of her race, h.s, she was already of d height beyond 1helr ordinary low stature, and had the appearance of not being yet arrived al fall growth. A petticoat of hright scarlet displayed an ancle, combining like the fetiock of an Arabian horse dellcacy, activity ,and grace in 6 singular degree. Tine fine voluptuous outline oI iler limbs gave token tothe pfactised eve otOberfeldt, the perfection it would at. tam in the matariy of womanly beauty. Her scarf wss disposed aroundherbod, ihamannersomewhat fantastic, but high, ypicturesque and graceful; while her a. bundant tresses oi' i'coai black hair, were Tor their only covering and ornament enfwined with q few ears ofwheat and corn flowers, apparently just plucked from the fields. Her skin was dark, ii eomplexion; but of that exquisite clear ness and extreme delicacy of texture which almost render it doubtful wbeth erlt be surpassed by the most perfect tairness--
 That clear obscure,
 softly dark, and darkly pure,
 Which we may suppose to have existed on eleopatra's cheek and
 She s had the Asiatic eye,
 Dark as above us is the sky;

 l1lke the fist moon-rise at midnight
 MMa,rge, M, dark, and swimming in the stream :" "nlch seemed tomelttoits own beam.
 Her dancing is as remarkable asher person. When the music was anima ,ed n triumphant, the eye of the young n m fIf,-i
