J 2 TOK.BNS, I send bade the little tokens, Once given your love to show. Ah! I wonder if you’ll keep them. For the sake of long ago 1 Many are each poor trifles. jLnd how can you understand That some are only valued ; ‘ Because they have touched your band. Costly, and simple, and lovely. And homely, and old, and new, All were alike to me precious. Because they were given by you. Each had its own sweet history, 1 had learned by heart so well. That the day, the place and the hour You gave them I could tell. Often when lonely without yon J’ve.tamed them o’er and o’er. Till one might think me a miaer, , Counting a golden store.. Sometimes I've gazed at them smiling, Somelimes throtigh falling tears, But they never failed to-comfort Through many changing years. Yet dearly aa I love them, ’Tis time-they were resigned; For yon know gifts lose their- value When the givers prove unkind. And why should I care for keeping The links of a broken chain When ’tis far beyond roy power To rivet it Cut again! Sad relic* of former brightness— The only things that remain To tell of the days departed, Which can never return again. With a last good-bye—God bless yon I I From a loyal heart and true, 1 send back the tittle tokens . That were given to me by you. ELECTIVE AFFINITIES. TBASSLATED VBOHT3E QEBSAN *F GOETHE. ' chapter xvii. (Continued.) In all this work she coaid not suffl ciently value the assistance of the young architect. In a short time the lake lay stretched out under her eyes, its now shores turfed and planted with the most discriminating and excellent judgment. The rough work al the new house was all finished. Everything which was neces sary to protect it from the weather she took care to see provided, and there for the present she a'lowcd it to rest in a condition in which what remained to be done could hereafter be readily commenc ed again. Thus boor by hour she recov ered her spirits and her cheerfulness. Ot tille only seemed to have done so. She was only forever watching, in all that was said and done, (or symptoms which might show her whether Edward would be soon returning; and this one thought was the only one in which she felt any interest. It was, therefore, a very welcome pro posal to her when it was suggested that they should get together the boys of the peasants, and employ them In keeping the park clean and neat. Edward bad long entertained the idea. A pleasant looking sort of uniform was made for them, which they were to put on in the evenings, after they had been properly cleaned and washed. The wardrobe was kept in the castle, the more sensible and ready of the boys themselves were entrusted with the mangement of it—the Architect acting as chief director. In a very short time, the children acquired a kind of character. It was found easy to mould them into what was desired ; and they went through their workivithoul a sort of manoeuvre.. As they marched along, with their garden shears, their long-handled pruning knives, their rakes, their little spades and hoes, and sweep log brooms; others fo’l owing after these with baskets to carry off the stones and rubbish ; and other-*, last of ail, trailing along the heavy iron roller—it was a thor ougbly pretty, delightful procession. The Architect observed in it a beautiful series of situations to ornament the frieze of a garden house. 0"ille, on the other hand, could see nothing in it bat a kind of parade, to salute the master of the bouse on his near return. And this stimulated her, and made her | wish to begin something of the sort her self. They had before endeavored to en courage the girls of the village in knit ting, and sewing, and spinning,and what ever else women C'ul 1 do; and since what had been done for the, improvement of the vi UglTitself, there had been a per ceptible advance in- these descriptions ol industry. Outlie had given what assist ance wasio her power, hut she had given it at random, as opportunity or inclina tion prompted her; now she.thought she would go to work more satisfactorily and methodically. But a company is not to be formed oat of a number of girls, as easily as out o| a number of boys. She followed her good sense, arid, without being exactly conscious of it, her efforts viete sol ly directed towards connecting every girl as closely as possible each with her own home, her own parents, brothers and sisters; and she succeeded with many of them. Oie lively little creature was incessantly compUi »ed of as showing no capacity for work,'and as never likely to do anything if she were Ifft at home. Oltilie could not he' angry with the girl, for t<* her the 1 tile thing was espe cially attacheJ—she clung to her, went after her, and ran about with her, when ever jdie was permitted— and then she would he uc-ive and cheerful and never tire. It appeared to be a necessity of the child’s iramre to hang about a beaulifi 1 mistress. At- first, Ot»ilie allowed her l|n be her companion; then she herself be gan to feel a’ sort of affection tor her; and, at last, they never parted at all, and K.mny attended her mistress wherever the wtnl. A Novel. PART I. The latter’s footsteps were often bent towards the garden, where she liked to watch the beautiful show of fruit. It was lust the end of the raspberry and the "cherry season, the few remains of which were no little delight to Nanny. On the other trees there was a promise of a mag nlficent bearing far the r autumn, and the gardener talked of nothing hut his mss' terfand how be wished that he might he at home to enjoy it. Oltilie could listen to the good old man forever. He thor oughly understood tiis business; and Bi ward—Edward—Edward—w&aforeverthe them of bis praise ! Ottliie observed, how well ail the grafts which had been budded in the spying bad taken. “I only wish,” the gardener answered, “my good master may come to enjoy theta. If he were beta this autumn, he would see what beautiful sorts there are in the old castle garden, which the late lord, bis honored father,*put there. I think the fruit gardeners that-are now don’t sue ceed as well as the Carthusians used to do. We find many fine names in the cat alogue, and then we hud from them, and bring up the shoots, and, at last, when they come to bear, it is not worth while to have such trees standing in onr gar den.” Over and over again, whenever the faithful old servant saw Ottilie, he asked when bis master might be expected home; and when o‘tiUe had nothing to tell him, be would look vexed, and let her see in bis manner that be thought she did nut care to tell him; tbe sense of un certainty which was thus forced upon her became painful beyond measure, and yet she never could be absent from these beds and borders. What she and Edward bad sown and planted together were now in full flower, requiring no further care from her, except that Nanny should be at band with tbe watering pot; and who shall say with what sensations she watch ed the late flowers. which were just be ginning to show, and which were to be in tbe bloom of their beauty on Edward’s birthday, the holiday to which she bad looked forward with such eagerness, when these Sowers were to have express ed her affection and her gratitude to him ! —but the hopes which she bad foamed of that festival were dead now, and doubt and anxiety never ceased to haunt tbe soul of the poor girl. Into real open, hearty understanding with Charlotte, there was bo more < a chance of her being abhT to return ; for, indeed, the positi m of these two ladies was very different. If things could re maic in tbe old state —if it were possible that they could return again into the smooth, even way of calm ordered life, Charlotte gained everything; she gained happiness for the present, and a happy future opened before lier. On the other baud, for Ottilie alt was lost—one may say all; for she had first found in Edward what life and happiness meant; and, in in her present posi i »n, she felt an infi nite and dreary chasm of wbcib before she could have formed no conception. A heart which‘seeks, feels well that it wants something; a heart that is lost, feels that something is gone—its yearr ing and its longing changes into uneasy patience—and a woman’s spirit, which is accustomed to waiting and to enduring, mast now pass oat from its proper sphere; become active, and attempt and do some thing to make its own happiness. Otiilie had not given up Edward— how could she ?—although Charlotte, wisely enough, in spite of her conviction to theqontrary, assumed it as a thing of course, and resolutely took it as decided that a quiet rational regard was possible between her husband and Ottilie. How often, however, did not Ottilie remain at nights, after hoping hterself into her room, on her knees before the open pox, gazing at tbe birthday presents, of which as yet she had not touched a single thing —not cut out or made up a single dress I How often with the sunrise did tbe poor girl hurry out of the'house, in which she once had found all her happiness, away Into the free air, into the country which then bad bad no charms for her. Even on tbe solid earth she could not bear to stay; she -voull spring into the boat, and row out into the middle of the lake, and there, draw out some book of travels, Hev, rocked by the motion of the waves, read ing and dreaming that she was far away, where she would never fail to find her friend —she remaining ever nearest to his heart, and he to hers. , 0- i CHAPTER XVIII It may be easily supposed that the strange, busy gentleman, whose acquaint ance we hive .already made—>l it tier—as soon as he received information of the disorder which had broken out tuning his friends, felt desirom, though neither side had as yet ca'led on him for assist ance, t<> fulfill a friend’s part toward them, and do what he could to help them in their misfortune. He thought it advisable, however, to wait first a little while ; knowing too well, as he did, that it was more difficult to come to the aid of culti vated persons in their moral perplexi ties, than of the uncultivated. He left them, therefore, for some time to them selves; but at last be could withhold no longer, and he hastened to seek out' Ed ward, on whose traces be had already lighted. His road led him to a pleasant, pretty valley, with a range of green, sweetly-wooded meadows, down the cen* tre of which ran a never-f»iliog stream, sometimes winding slowly along, then tumbling and rushing among rocks and stones. The hills sloped gently up on TH£ RADICAL: either side, and well kept orchards. The village B were at proper distances from each ofoer. The whole had a pescefal character about it, and the detached scenes seemed de signed expressly, if not for painting, at least for life. - / ;;V- • At last a neatly •kept ferm r with a clean, modest dwelling-honsej-slniafodln; the the middle of a garden, fell under his eye. He conjectured . that this was Ed ward’s present abode, and he was not mistaken. Of this our friend in his solitude we have only thus ranch to ssy—-that in his seclusion he whs resigning himself utter* ly to the feeling of his passion, thinking out plan after" pUo, and feeding himself with innuraerable hppes. He. could not deny that he longed to see Oltllle there; that he would like to carry her off there, to tempt her there; and whatever else, (patting, ss.be now did, no check check upon his thoughts) pleased to sug gest itself whether permitted or unper mitted. then bis Imagination wandered Up and down, picturing every sort of pos sibility. If he could not have her there, if be could not lawfully possess her, be would secure to her the possession of the property tor her own. There she should live for herself, silently, independently; she should be happy in that spot—some times his self-torturing mood would lead him farther—be happy In it, perhaps, with another. So days flowed away id. increasing os cillation bet ween hope and suffering, be tween tears and ha pp iaew—between pur poses, preparations and despair. The sight of Hlttler did not surprise him: he had long expected that be would come ; and now that he; did, he was partly wel come to him. He believed that he had been sent by Charlotte. He bad prepar ed himself wilh all manner of ex cnsea and delays; and if these would not serve, with decided refusals; or else, perhaps, he might hope to learn some thing of Ottilie—and then be would be dear to him as a messenger from heaven. Not a little vexed*aud anuoyed was Ed ward, therefore, when, he understood that Mittier'had not come from the castle at all, bat of bU own free accord. His heart closed up, and at first the conversation would not open itself Hlttler, however, oeew very well that a heart that is occu pied with love has an urgent desire to ex press—to pour out to a friend what is passing within It; and he allowed him self, after a few speeches backwards and forwards, for this once to go out of bis character, and play the con Slant in place of the mediator. He bad calculated just ly. He had been finding fault in a good natured way with with Edward, for bury log himself in -that lonely place, upon which Edward replied: “Ido not know bow I could epeqdmy time more agreeably. lam 'always occu pied with her; I am always close, to her. I have the inestimable comfort of being able to think where Ottilie is at each mo ment —where she is going, where she is standing, where she is reposing. I see her moving and acting before me as usual; ever doing or designing something which is to give me pleasure. But this will not always answer; for how can Ibe happy away from her ? And then my Taney begins to work; I think what Ot tilie should do to come to me ; I write sweet, loving letters in her name to my se If, and then I answer them, and keep the sheets together. I have promised that 1 will take no steps to seek her; and that promise I will keep. But what binds her, that she should make no advances to me? Has Charlotte had the barbarity to exact a promise, to exact ad* oath from her, not to write to me, not to send me a word, a hint about herself? Very likely she has. It is only natural; and yet to it is onnsiroua, it U horrible. If she lores me—as I think, as I know that she does—why does she not resolve, why does she not venture to fly to me, and throw herself into my «rms? I often think she ought to do it; and she could do it. If I ever hear a noiie in the had, I look towards the door. It must be her —she is coming—l look up to see her. AUs ! because the possible is impossible, 1 let myself imagine that the Impossible must become possible. At night, when I ike wake, and the lamp flings an uucer tain light about the room, her form, her I spirit, a sense of her presence, sweeps over me, approaches me, seizes me. It is but for a moment; it is that I may have an assurance that she is thinking of me, that she it mine. Only one pleasure re mains to me. When I was with her I never dreamed of her; now when I am far away, and, oddly enough, since I have made the acquaintance of other attrac tive persons in Ibis n< ighborhood, for the first time, her figure appears to me In my dfeams, as if she would say to me, ‘Look on them, and on me. «You will find none more beautiful, more lovely than I.' and so she is present in every dream that I have. In whatever happens to me with her, we are woven in and in together. There is her band, and there is mine ; there is her name, and there Is mine ; and they move one into the other, and seem to devour each other. Some times she does something which injures the pure idea which I, have of her, by the indescribable anguish which it causes me. Again, unlike herself, she will rally and vex me; and then at dpce the figure changes—her sweet, round!, heavenly face draws out; it is not her, it Is another; but I lie vexed, dissatisfied!and wretched.” TO BE CONTINUED.
