New Years Night Of an Unhappy Nan.
From The Gs,man of Richter.

An old man stood in the new years
night at his windaw, and looked with a
glance of fearful despair up to the immo-
vable, ever blooming heavens. and down
upon the still, pure. white earth. on which
was no one so sleepless and desolate of
soul as he. Foe his grave stood near
him; it was covered with she SHOWS Of
old age, not with the green foliage of
youth; and he had brought out of a rich
life nothing but errors, sins and diseases;
wasted body, a desolate soul, breast
full Of poison and an old age full of re-
morse. To-day the beautiful hours Of
his youth reappeared like speetres. and
re-conveyed him to that lovely morning
when his father ffst placed him upon
the cross-way of life, which leads, on the
right, by saIny paths Of virtue, into a
large quiet land, full of light and har-
vests; but on the left, plunses .dowa into
the mole-walks OF existence. and black
cave, full of distilllng poisons, Kissing
snakes and sultry vapors.
Alas! the snakes were hanging on his
breast, and the drops of poison were ON

stood. Distracted with irrepressible
grief. he called to the heavens:
Give back to me my youth! @. Father!
Mace me again upon the cross-way, that
may choose arlght!'
But his father and his youth were long
since gone. lie7saw the ignis tfatui dan
cling upon marshes aud disappearing up
on cemeteries; and OF WHICH he said =
These are my foolish days. He saw a
star flying from heaven, and. giitterine
in its fall, vanish upon .he earth. 'Ehus
am .I!' said his bleeding heart, and the
snakes teeth of repentance probed still
deeper and deeper into his wounds. His
| flaming imagination show ed him living
ghosts (natcht-wandler) upon the roofs;
the wind mill lifted its threatening arms
for destruction: and skull. having been
Ieft behind in the dead-houses. assumed
gradually bis features. In the midst Of
the struggle, the music of the new year
flowed down from the steepIes, like far
of. church melodies.

And what is oft the Christians life,
But storms as dark and drear,
Thro' which. WITHOUT one bilthe some ray

And soan, his tolls and troubles past,
His anchor he shall safely cast
