Triumph at Last

And now that l behold thee, glorious creature, who hast so long been with me watching over me and inspiring me how shall I thank thee? For I owe two debts to thee; first for so long watch ing over me unseen, and, secondly for at last revealing myself to me-"

 All these doctrines Basil had heard be- fore from the lips of Meyer or had read In Meyers book But from the lips of this beautiful creature they assumed a new meaning.
 Then the vision went on to expound more Roscrucian theories, while Basil sat in rapt and silent trance, filled with the joy of having at length reached the state to which Meyer had told nn he would arrive-the state when he could see with his human eyes the invisible and hear with his human ears things to the general world inaudible. rn

Far From Fear and Tragedy

Basil sat opposite to Isilda and looked into her eyes He drank in her smile and was happy; all traces of the careworn student had vanished; he was cheerful even ta gayety, laughed and tested with his sister and after the meal was over bade Margareta sing some old dittes of a joyous nature.
 He even joined in the strain. which made them alls more mirthful still. for although Basil had much music in his heart, he had none in his singing voice. and could not carry tune to save him.
 It was a merry. joyful, simple com pany from which the dark clouds of fear and tragedy seemed far, far away, that thus enjoyed themselves in the quaint old German house by the fair Rhine that night. ~ 4.

 Basil ought to have known this fact before Meyer doubtless had it down in his wonderful book. But really Basil seems to have been very ignorant of the natures of sprites and such, though he had studied the Rosicruchian theories and could recte the Elle-maid
 So the fire spirit went on instruetng him. Said she: We see generation after generation of men perish from the face of the, earth; we. watch them from their cradles to their graves. and we are still the same our beauty unfaded, our power unchanged.
