Among the many superstitions of Germany.
that OF the white lady of Hornzelern is, per-
haps, the least generally known.
tits believed that, previous to the death of the
Royal family of Prussia a lady in white is seen
to pass through the saloons of the Royal Pal
ace, and walk towards the vaults where rests
the Royal dead, and SO firmly impressed are the
people with the truth of this, that they resent it
as an insult, any doubt upon th@snhiect. The
writer has conyersed with many - IS of re-
spectacle rank in life, who declare fhey have
encountered the spectre frequently.
There are lying looks as well as lyingwords,
descending smiles, deceiying signs, and even
lying silence.

TIT FOR TAT,
OR THE coQUErTE PUNISHED.

OR THE CooUETTE PUNISHED.
(By S. WoodeOrtk)
Ellen was fair and knew it too,
AS other village beauties do.
Whose mirror never lie;
Secure of any swain she chose,
She smil' d on half dozen beaux,
And reckless of lovers woes,
She cheated these, and taunted those,
For how could any one suppose.
A clotca could take her eye.
But whispers through the village ran,
That Edgar was the happy man
The maid design'd to bless;
or wheresoeyer moved the fair,
The youth was like her shadow there
And Rumor boldly match'd the pair.
For village folks viii guess.
Edgar did loVe-but still DELAYED
o make confession 10 the maid,
SO bashful was the youth.
But let the flame in secret burn,
certain OF meeting return,
When from his lips the fair should learn
Officially the truth.
At length, one morn, TO taste the air.
The youth and maid, in one horse chair.
A long excursion took;
Edgar had nerved his bashfll heart.
The sweet confession to impart.
For oh suspense had caused smart
lie could no longer brook
lie drove, nor slackened once his rein.
IN Hempsteads's wide extended plain.
Seem'd joined to skies above;
NO mouse, nor tree, nor shrub was near.
ne WIDE and dreary scene to cheer,
Nor soul within ten miles 10 hear.
And still poor Edgar's silly fear,
Forbade to speak of love.
At last one desperate effort broke
ne oashful spell, and Edgar spoke
WIN most persuasive tone
hecounted past attentions DER,
And An then by all that's lovely swore,
nat he would love forevermore,
1t she'd become his own.
In 4 ne maid in silence heard his prayer,
Nhlle, with most provoking air.
She Uttered in his face;

But ne should know his place.

Now on the centre ofthe plain:

That we may safely ride.'
He said, and handed out the fair.
Then laughing, crack'd his wip in air,
Exclaim'd, 'Adieul / leave you there,
In solitude to roam
What mean you, sir (the maiden cried,)
DID you invite me out to ride,

Nay, stop and take me home

Indeed, my dear, I'd like to know
How such hapless wish could grow,
Or IN your bosom spring;

As any thing / ever heard
