TOE RM ALL CHRTNANTIIfcHCIM. There stands, with stem and follnge broken, On banished Autumn's ravaged land, A round white flower, ber simple tok'n, The farewell of her royal hand. Each loaf with sad and pensive air Its fellow-leaves she placed between, As If she thought: "will any care To know bv this where I have been !" Then wrapped her many-colored dress In folds of frrey November mist, And left, with black dishevelled tress ; A lonely bird upon her wrlBt. THE NIGHTWANDER ER. A FANTASY. It was a stormy night, and I was toiling over a boundless, solitary waste: no stun of human habitation; no star above in the profound gloom. I seemed to move through an ftbyr-sol blackness, the invisible ground rising Btep by step to my feet, I felt it impossible to persevere much longer; knees trembled, brain swam, the heart alternately throbbed and stood still; and as a Jrcsh gust loaded with icy rain beat cruelly into my face, I exclaimed, raving, "Succor me, thou Evil One, even thou, since Heaven will ;ive me no aid!" when at this moment tb- sudden glimpse of light, shining from no great distance over the level, sent a new impulse of hope and love of life into my blood; and starting from the ground on which I had sunk, I hastened towards it with quick though stumbling footsteps. It seemed at first to my bewildered eves like a Urge fire ot red flame burning unsheltered on the waste.with Indistinct forms moving fantastically round it: but with a forward step or two. and a more self-possessed paze, I perceived the radi ance to issue from the windows of a cottigo, nt the door ot which I knocked, and was liuoie UiP.tely bidden to enter by a very sweet voice. Four well-attiied young maidens, rising trom their teats around the cheerful hearth, gave me kind welcome without even wttiting to hear my petition for shelter; a grave, silent mau-ser-vant was summoned, who provided me with ry clothing, and arranged a table for supper in the midst of the room; and ere long I lound jnyseli placed familiarly in the warm, lively circle, partakirg of the choicest viands (for eveiy thing was of the most sumptuous and delicate), and pledging healths round with my j'alr entertainers. All lour were beautiful, with some degree of likeness in each to the rest, especially in that their faces, if left for a moment unenlivened with their usual smiles, struck me as being almost or altogether expressionless, but tha four had many points oi dilkience in stature and complexion, while the features ot all were of the utmost regularity, and their figures moulded in perfect proportions. She who sat next to me, and whose breath mingled with mine as we leaned towards each other, had fair hair, and a Iruit-llke bloom upon her check, tnd her soit and supple form was scarcely masked by the thin, clinging dress that followed its gentlest undulations. As the nicht wore on (but time, indeed, was abolished ), the delicious goblets, which no one refused, were tasted yet more freely; the talk became more easy; the (esting more familiar. Supper over, we ranged ourselves closer thau at first round the warm blaze, that threw a double glow upon the bright eyes, rich locks, and yluaming beauties of the tour. From time to time the servant silently appeared to refill our cups, and oiler us salvers of dainties, aud again quickly withdrew. He was of handsome luce, and quiet, dexterous bearing, yet it seemed to mo thai something horrible belonsed to Urn, I knew not what. When I felt a shudder, I looked round, aud he was in the room. Hut this uneasi ness I subdued as much as possible, and strove to lorpet li in the attractions of the beautiful hostess. Whilst we were thus engaged, there came a feeble knock to the door of the cottage, which was direct into the open air from the wide room in which we sat; and one of the ladies said "Enter," in the same sweet tone that I had heard with so much delight. The latch was lilted, and we were amazed to see standing in the entrance a little child, of innocent and bright countenance, with solt natural curls falling to the neck, who wore a white robe and had oi.e hand full of flowers. The child's lace, at the first glance, appeared well known to me. even Intimately familiar. I would have started up with ereeting. but, again, I could not recall any definite memory, and the face became more and more a stranger's the longer I looked anil doubted. But the four Indies, in unaccountable agitation, hurried forward together, and drag??d the little one into the centre of the room. In the first instant I belipved it to be the haste ot eager hospitality; in the next I was undeceived; their eyes Hashed with anger, their whole coun tenances were so distorted as scarcely to remain recognizable; they moved with malicious and ungainly gestures. Oue seized the child's arm with a turious grip, whilst another snatched away the dowers and flung them into the hot test of the fire, which seemed to be purtly quenched thereby. A third dashed a gobletfiil of wine into the gentle and pleading tUce. For my own part, amazement held me, for :t snort time, speechless and motionless, till I was suddenly roused by seeing that the fourth lady haa caught up a sharp knile, and was in t!ie act ot pliinuing it into the child's bosom. I arrested her arm iiust in time to pievent the blow, aud, pushing aside the others, took up in my arms nd earned quickly to the door toe little white robed visitor, who then slipped from me and disappeared into the darkness, while I hesitated what next to do, or whither to turn my steps; and in another moment I lound round me the soft arms of my fair companion, and was laugh ingly pulled back into vbe room, where almost all traces of the interruption of our mirth were already effaced. But the fire, in spite ot many frtlorts to revive it, remained sullen and smoul dering. "A game ! a game !" cried the beauty who hud sat next nie, aud the others echoed her cry. We all stood up, ami the game began. A r.ch colored tcarf was thrown from one lady to another, in and out otturn, while it was my part to pursue the temporary wearer, and to exact a forfait, from her, it caught, which was to be released airerwaids. We entered eagerly into the amuse ment, growing by degrees more and more warm and excited, and the leave taking on which I had fully resolved, was now deferred indefi nitely. Great art was displayed iu throwing the carl; sometimes when the wearer was chased inio a corner, with no luither possibility, as it seemed, ot eluding my grasp, she iu a moment unwound it from her form, and sent it flying uver my uenu, 10 nngut upon one 01 tne Others, who immediately became the object of my pur suit; aud so unerring was the skill of each, that the scarf, which I observed to be enwrought with fantastic and mythological groups, some of tLem stranpely, out of place on such a vesture, never cure touched the floor in its trequcnt and rapid flinhts and lutertwinincs. Dreamless, at length, we paused for an instant. A little white flower lay at my feet; I picked it up, and asking- leave ot my fairest to set it in her girdle, she looked round smilingly, but the next moment started back with a shriek and w ith every sign of horror in her face. At ber bidding, I flung the harm-Jess-looking blossom oui of door, nor did she quite readily resume her selt-command. But tre long the game was renewed with greater spirit than before, the pursuits becoming more animated, and the escapes more narrow, s we darted to and fro with flushed cheeks, and the tnrls' dark or yellow hair falling and Hying loose. She who had been my neighbor at supper, the slender, round-limbed beauty, hsd many times luded my warmest speed; but a thrilling glance lroni her eyes led me alter her now with still sreater eagerness; hard pressed, she bounded through the door ot the cottage into the open darkness of the nitrht. I followed the eleain of her robe, and in a niomeut caught her in my arms. With a tremulous sigh she leaned back in ruv embrace, her head leaning on my shoulder: she turned, enwindlng me in her clasp. 1 stooped my lips to hers, her breath was on my face, when, with sudden glaie, brond, a wilt, and scorching white, a torrent of lightning poured out 01 heaveu, showing lu its momentary bril liance a countenance close to mine, so incredi bly frightful aud fiendish, tbat a second look were r.vlng madness to any human brain. THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH. PHILADELPHIA. SATURDAY. Quick upon the lightning followed a burst of thunder like the downfall of the universe. In the short space of time, during which I lay motionless where 1 had fallen, and whilst the thunder was rolling away into the distance, I saw, as with another's eyes, the whole cottage, walls, roof, and chimneys, separate itself into a numberless crowd of hideous shapes; and, an these opened, the great red flame which I had seen across the waste burned fiercely upwards, and darted its rays among them. How I rose 1 know not; but I found myself flying through the black storm pursued by that fiendish crew; closer and closer they came up behind me; I was well aware they but amused themselves with my feeble efforts to escape, until the moment came when it should be their pleasure to seize me. A thought came suddenly, bringing a gleam of hone; delirium and Btupeiaeiioh had pre vented my thinking ot it sooner. I efaculated a short fervent prayer, calling on the most sacred names for support against my horrid enemies. But In reply rose a loud terrific laugh from my pursuers; some voices even repcatod my prayers mockingly, and In derision changed the pious words into obscene parodies. Then my soul fainted within nie, and I said, "There Is no help, for God hath forsaken me. would I had perished ere 1 saw the foul fire-light ! Would I had lelt the place of evil with that lair child!" At this moment I began to hear, as at a distance, tones of a remembered music: pood and pure thought flowed Into my hearl like waters into a parched well; and the tumult of pursuit began to fail and shrink away. A faint, grave light was mingled with the darkness, the setting moon stood in the west. On soft moss, under the dry shade of a grove, I sank down exhausted, between sleeping and waking, I seemed to see the child, crowned with a garland of llowers, bitting opposite, upon a knoll among the trees; keeping watch, mc thought, and singine a sweet song all the while; and that grove was tilled with safety and peace. When I awoke, it was clear morning; the birds whistled among dewy leaves, and the first smoke ropo from the hamlet in the valley. There I found a certaiu wise, poor man, happy with his wile and children, with whom I abode for a time. All this is of the past: and whether all, or how much of it, is to be named a Dream, 1 cannot now rightly tell. COAL. GEO.
