For the Guardian.
METE NJ S YCHOSIS.
LOVE IMPERISHABLE.
Translated from the German of JOHANN DANIEL
HEINRICH ZscHoKKE,
BY STEPHEN J. w. TABOR

PYTHAaoRAs and his followers held
that after death the souls of men pass in
to other bodies, and the doctrine is still
maintained by some metaphysicians by
no means destitute Of intelligence The
charming German writer, HEINRIcH
ZscnoKKE,, in one of his stories, illus
trates this opinion in manner so beau.i-
full that wo have translated and condensed
the tale for the entertainment of the read
ers of the Guardian. This condensation
we make, principally, by emitting the
various arguments urged by Harmonius,
the chief character in the story, in favor
Of the doctrine of the transmigration ol
souls, and by translating only the nara
tive. We are aware that with such a
writer as Zschokhe, every omission of his
matter must deprive the reader of excel
lencies but this has been necessary 10
bring the tale within a single number oi
the Guardion, and the same reason has
induced us to make few changes in the
narrative itself, in order to render it com
plste in its present form.

CHAPTER Ill.

Seventeen years after Beauty's death,
when one day not far from a village, as
was returning home from business Jour
ney, | beheld female beggar in the
road, whom one of the passengers was
rvdely driving off with the words Go
and work You are young, and should
be ashamed of begging"
AS l directed my steps nearer, my
travelling carriage being at considerable
distance behind me; the man turned in
differently away. Unconsciously re-
mained fixed to the spot where l was
standing. was animated with the deep
est compassion for the poor girl whose
youthful and charming face was so full
of grief. | contemplated the exquisite
form Of the suppliant, and perceived that
she gave evidences of great destitution
and poverty. A glowing blush, like the
brilliant reflection of the morning clouds,
mantled her countenance. This was
succeeded by immediate paleness, and
totterlng sideways, she was su ldenly
compelled to lean for support against an
adjacent tree. | hurried to her. "You
are not well, my child" said |. and she
seemed to me like one that | had long
known. She made no reply, although
her lips opened as if she would return an
answer With the most evident inno-
cence she regarded me long and atten
lively, as though she sought to read my
soul. Then turning abruptly she walked
away. Involuntarily, | retained my po-
silion, At ten steps distance she again
leaned against high oak, and gazed
backwards towards me. She wept, an
yet appeared to use the greatest exertion
to subdue her tears. | went to her, and
said, . What is the matter with YOU, my
child ? Are you borne down with mis-
fortune ?"
She did not answer. Her anguish com
pletely overcame her. She wept aloud
with her eyes streaming with tears she
gazed at me, tottered rs ii altogethe

were closed, and her face was coverc,

turned repeatedly to the corner in which
it was, to behold my little favorite again,
and as often as | approached. il would
hop from the lower twig to the floor,
weak as it was, to meet me, as IT 1T was
sensible of the nearness of our parting
moment; as if il wished to caress me for
the last time as if itwould improve the
last opportunity to see and thank me-
In the morning | perceived it lying dead
on the floor. 1t lay before my bed. In
the night it had left its own little place
and had crept towards its protector, in
order to die near me. O kind aud faith
ful little creature o mute angel of my
childhood !! why were you so early
snatched from me. Excuse me from de-
scribing my grief at the loss ofmy little
bird. With sobs and tears | inferred
him under the same pear tree in the gar-
den where | first met him. There !
buried my beautiful visions of a year and
a half--there | consigned all my child
hoods joys to the tomb.

CHAPTER I.

Often in the spring have we sat togeth-
er in the garden of Harmonius. Never
have | seen man whose life was more
conscientious and pure-never man
whose friendship merited more sincere
and tender return.
Before the arbor interlaced with twin
ing honey -suckles, in Harmonius's gar
den, stood a marble group. A young
and beautiful woman leaned upon an urn,
on which, trustingly perched near her,
sa. bird. and a little clay slumbering
at her feet.
On the pedestal were these words -
Love mperishaJe under all Forms.
When we soon afterwards entered his
house, among other pictures on the wall,
we discovered one larger than the rest
Illuminated with charms we saw the
same young woman. Near her, on a
green branch. was bird whom we recog
nized as goldfnch by his pumage and
little dog. snow white, with the excep-
tion of black head and ears, and a
patch of black upon his flank, lay watch
fully at her feet The eyes of these
pheo '"l'ouo peihSS were ueliueaieu III
such manner by the painters art, that
each beholder seemed to be regarded by
them all at the same moment.
In Harmonius's library, which, as the
library ought always to be, was the most
beautiful room in the whole house, and
whose windows presented a wide and
picturesque landscape to the view, we
saw the same group reproduced, with some
notifications. Three portraits, exquis-
itely painted, hung together, surrounded
by blooming wreath of evergreens and
forget me-nots. The first represented
the bird, which we had before seen the
second the same snow-w white dog. but
here represented as full grown; the third
ihe charming wife of our host.
Below the'paintings, in golden letters,
upon sky-colored ground. were the
same words-Loye lmperisha5le under all
Forms. Other pictures still did we see
in other rooms Of our excellent friend
and to them all was attached the same
expressive text.

The ENGLISH CRUISERS AND PRIZE MONEY
The Siorer Cofc-, The Key W est cores
pendent Of The Charleston Courier, repeats,
what is now generally supposed to DO the
case, that the activity of the officers of the
British cruisers III boarding so many vessels
in the Cuff, has its origin in the capture Of
the Corlrz. which proved to be a rich prize.
The writer gives :hc following as coming
from Lieut. Pvm. of the Jasper
- few weeks ago." said Lieut. Pvm.
" when cruising off the Moro, | boarded an
American vessel that had iust left port, and
IN answer to inquiries for news, was told that
a splcndid clipper ship was fitting out for the
Slave trade and would be ready to sail the
following day. accordingly watched for
her, and had the satisfaction tn, following
day of taking Il valuable prize. FMS was
the Cortez She had the most complete out.
fit, large stock Of provisions. ample accom-
modations for 800 slaves, and besides bag
containing 1900 doubloons-with which her
cargo was TO he purchased. Proof being sur-
liclcnt, she was taken to jamaica, lbrlled and
condemned. She was a lawful prize, and
sold with all on board, for 500 00U The
steamer StvX being in sight was entitled to
one half the prize money, or my share would
have been $4,000 As it was received
50 ,00G for n couple Of hours work"
1t is further stated that seventeen shots
were fired at the ship before she gave up, all
Of which were by Lieut.. pym. who, r,aring
she might be merchantmen all blame
would be attached to him alone. The cap.
ain Of the CortcZ, when over hauled threw hi,
flag and his papers into the sea, and declared
himself to be Spaniald.
1t is reasonable to suppose that this sue
cess has prompted the British fleet to increase
zeal in ScOurgIng our seas in search OF vessels
engaged in the slave trade. The seizure and
condemnation of this first class ship she had
been used by the French as transport dur
ing the Russian war would show that rcspcc-
taMity, size and beauty of model in vessel
passing a cruiser at sea was no proof that her
mission was a commercial one.
