CHAPTER ii,

When | had attained the age of
! seventeen, my parents resolved
that | should become Il student at
the university Of Ingolstadt. l had
hitherto attended the schools OF Ge-
neva; but my father thought it
necessary, for the completion of my
education, that | should be made
acquainted with other customs than
those of my native country. My
departure was therefore fixed at an
early date; but before the day re-
solved upon could arrive, the first
misfortune of my life occurred an
omen, as it were, of my future mis-
cry.
Elizabeth had caught the scarlet
fever; but her illness was moi Sc
we're, and she quickly recovered.
During her confinement, many ar
guments had been urged to per-
suade my mother to refrain from
attending upon her. She had, at
first, yielded to our entreaties; but
when she heard that her favOrite
was recovering, she could no longer
debar herself from her society, and
entered her chamber long before
the danger of infection was past.
The consequences of this impru-
dence were fatal. On the third
day my mother Sickened her fe-
yer was very malignant, and the
looks of her attendants prOgnOstica-
ted the worst event. On her death
bed the fortitude and benignity of
this admirable woman did not de-
sert her. She joined the hands of
Elizabeth and myself. "My chill
dren," she said, "my firmest hopes
of future happiness were placed on
the prospect of your union. This
expectation will now be tho conso-
lation of your father. Elizabeth,
my love, you must supply my place
to your younger cousins. Alas |
regret that l am taken from you !;
and, happy and beloved as / have
been, is it not hard to quit you all :?
But these are not thoughts benefit
ting me; l will endeavOr to resign
myself cheerfulIy to death, and will
indulge a hope of meeting you in
another world"
She died calmly; and her cOun-
tenance expressed affection even
in death. / need not describe the
feelings of those whose dearest ties
are rent by that most irreparable
evil, the void that presents itself to
the soul, and the despair that Is eX-
hibited on the countenance. 1t is
so long before the mind can per-
suade itself that she whom we saw
every day, and whose very exist
ence appeared part of our own,
can have departed forever, that the
brightness Of a beloved eye can
have been extinguished, and the
sound of n voice so familiar and
dear to the car can be hushed never
more to be heard. These are the
reflections of the first days; but
when the lapse of time proves the
reality of the evil, then the actual
bitterness Of grief commences. Yet
from whom has not that rude hand
rent away some dear connection /;
and why Should describe a sorrow
which all have felt, and must feel {?
The time at length arrives when
grief is rather an indulgence than
necessity; and the smile that
plays upon the lips, s,although it may
be deemed sacrilege, is not ban
ished. My mother was dead, but
we had still duties which we ought
TO perform we must continue our
course with the rest, and learn to
think ourselves fortunate, while
one remains whom the spoiler has
not seized.

elixir of life Is chimera. But
these philosophers, whose hands
seen only made to dabble In dirt,
ana their eyes to pore over the mi

performed miracles. They pene-

show how she works In her hiding

departed highly pleased with
the professor and his lecture, and
paid him visit the same evening.
His manners in private were even
more mild and attractive than in
public; for their was certain dig
nifty in his mien during his lecture,
which i'm his house was replaced by
the greatest aifability and kindness.
He heard with attention my little
narration concerning my studies,
and smiled ut the names of Corne-
Illus Agrippa, and Paracelsus, but
without the contempt that NJ.
krempe had exhibited. lie said
that "the5e.w were men to whose inde-
fatigable zeal modern philosophers
were indebted for most of the
fnu nnn finnC nf thnir ly,Ax..Ia.I,..,
They had left us an easier task, 10
give new names, and arrange IN
connected classification, the facts
which they in great degree had
been the instruments in bringing TO
light. The labors of men OF genius,
fowever enormously directed,
scarcely ever fail in ultimately turn
ing To the solid advantage of man
kind" l listened to his statement,
which was delivered without any
presumption or affectation; and
then added, that his lecture had
removed my prejudices against
modern chemists; and / at the
same time requested his advice con-
corning the books 1 ought TO pro-
cure.
II am happy said NJ. Waldman,
"to have gained "A deciple; and if
your application equals your ability
| have no doubt OF your success.
is that branch of natural
philosophy in which the greatest
improvements have been made, and
may be made il Is on that account
that | have made ii my peculiar
study; but at the same time / have
not neglected other branches of sci
ence. A man would make but a
very sorry chemist, il he attended
to that department of human
knowledge alone. II your wish is
to become really man of science,
and not petty eXperimentalist,
should advise you To apply to every
branch of natural philosophy, inclu-
ding mathematics"
lie then took me into his labora-
tory, and explained to me the uses
of his various machines; instructing
me us to what / ought to procure,
and promising me the use of his
own, when | should have advanced
far enough IL the science not to de-
range their mechanism. He also
gave me the list of books which l
had requested; and | took my
leave.
Thus ended a memorable day TO
me; it decided my future destiny.

1t may appear very strange that
a disciple of AIbertus Magnus
should arise in the eighteenth CEN
fury; but our family was not scien-
tifital, and had not attended any
of the lectures given at the public
schools of Geneva. My dream
were therefore undIsturbed by real
ty; and | entered with the greatest
diligence into the search for the
philosophers stone and the elixir of
life. But the latter obtained my
most undivided attention; wealth
was an inferior object; but what
glory would attend the discovery,
if / could Danish disease from the
human frame, and render man in
vulnerable to any but Il violent
death.
Nor were these my only visions.
The raising of ghosts of devils was
a promise literally accorded by my
favorite authors, the fulfillment Of
which | most eagerly sought and
if my incantations were always
unsuccessful, / attributed the fail
ure rather to my own ineXperience
and mistake, than to want of skill
or fidelity in my instructors.
The natural phenomena that take
place every day before our eyes did
not escape my examination. Dis
tillation, and the wonderful effects
of steam, processes of which my
favorite authors were utterly ignor.
ant, excited my establishment; but
my utmost wonder was engaged by
some experiments on an air-pump,
which l saw employed by gentle
man whom we were in the habit
of visiting. 3aal-nE I .i
The ignorance of the early philos-
ophers on these and several other
points served to decrease their cred

throw them aside, before some 9TH

1t seems impossible that remedy
made OF such common, simple plants
as hops, buchu, mandrake, dandelion,
&c, should make so many and such
great cures as Hop Bitters do; but
when old and young, rich and poor,

AtThe Opera mouse hast Night.

A large and enthusiastic audience was
present at the Opera House last evening to
witness "Sharps and Flats" Robson and
Crane are certainly well adopted to the
play and kept the audience in a roar Of
laughter the whole time. The manner in
which they deal with pugilistic
creditors Is decidedly original.
The support was without a drawback, one
aud all being well fitted for their roles.
The frequency with which several young
men annoyed the audience by coming IN
and going out was the only drawback to the
evenings pleasure. 1t is to be hoped thi:
practice will stopped, or those wishing tC
leave before the play is finished be compelled
TO take back seats.

the German Government to visit this
country and inquire into the workings of

and, in conversation with a representative
of the firm of Bowers, Dure q Company, he
stated that he would be In this country for
at least three months, and in that time he
would visit as many of the manufacturing
cities as possible His main business is to
inquire more closely into the workings OF
the incandescent electric light. The arc
light, which his government uses, is, he
thinks, equal TO the are light used In this
country, but the incandeecent light of this
country is far superior to the one they are
using. Mr.. Cox left yesterday afternoon

Many active boys have used
up the first Winter Suit and are
now calling for another. To un-
fortunate parents, compelled to
respond to this demand, we
have a word of comfort. Boys
Suits are down-away down
in price. The zero price in
large boys sizes is $5 for a
good, stout cotton-mixed mel
ton next are twilled suitings
at $500, and then onward and
upward in both quality and
price. The comfort is that
quality beats price, and the
higher you go the cheaper you
buy-value considered.
