When Herman came to himself, it was still
very dark ; aud through the darkness he felt
that he was carried along steadily without any
effort of his own. His first vague idea was, that
he was in the other world, and that the unseen
ministers of eternal justice were bearing him
on to receive his final doom. This notion was
speedily put to flight, as his senses returned 10
their duty, by the sound Of the footsteps of his
bearers, and their quick, hard breathing. A
sensation of sickness and pain from their mo-
ton, presently added its testimony, to feelngly
persuade him that he was still liz the body.
But was he in the hands of friends or foes Pa
not uninteresting question for man, who, within
no very long time, probably, had become weaker
than child. He fixed his swimming eyes, AZ
well as he could, on the darkness before him,
and made out, az well as he could, the darker
outline of figure in it and then his faintness
returned, and he could only shut them again,
and lose all other care in the one longing to
