BY SIR EDWARD BULwER LYTToN, BART.
A TALE.

In the year l54l, and on the second day of
September, towards sunset, the little children
PLAYING in the meadows at the outskirts of a
certain small town in the Marquisate OF
Brandebourg were startled by the apparition
of tall man clad iu half armour, who had
descended from the hill to the west so noise
lessly, that he was in the midst of the young
group before they perceived him. They sus-
pended their sports to stare at the stranger,
and were struck by the CHASTITY paleness of the
features, which were seen through the open
bars Of the morton. The mans step was
unsteady and reeling, and he uttered some
inarticulate sounds of pain and distress, as he
sought to unbuckle his heavy head gear. In
TRUTH the poor man was overcome by sharp
attack of aguish fever. He was soldier on
his return from Hungary; the heat of the
day and the weight of his arms had overtried
frame in which the wounds Of a sharp cam
paign were scarcely SCARED over, and, while
gasping out his prayer to the urchins to di-
rect him to the nearest inn, he fell to the
ground exhausted, and almost insensible.-
The children ran to call the guards who were
lettering round the gates of the town, and
the soldier was conveyed to the prlnelpal
hostelry of the place.
Mine host received the guest with more
politeness than was common to him; but, In
truth, that was just the period when the little
money in circulation was chiefly to.be found
in the pouch of man altar returning from
the wars with his pay and his plumber; and
the landlord had no doubt that the soldier
had wherewithal to pay for his lodging if he
recovered, or his burial if he died. The

Hush d those tones of mirth and glee,
Which from her young heart came gladly,
Like the wild hi d. melody.
Shaded by its silken ringlets,
Pale as marble is that brow
Where the radiant light of beauty
Has MT vanished even now.
Weeping friends around her gather,
Bending DER the beauteous clay
Mourning that the gentle spirit
Thus so early passed away.
Now from mid the throng advances
One with mem of majesty;
On his brow there dwells compass ion,
Pity kindles in his eye.
And he bids the sleeping r,aiden
Wake to life and love again
See ! she hears his gentle accents
