Concluded.
Instantly 1 was up nml nway. Tlioy
showed ino n beautiful country.ecat sur-
rounded by gnrdciis Inld out with grcnt
tiiste. "There fihollvesl" I trembled
npiln ns I hnd formorly dono when n
llctitonnnt, nnd as I novor had d no be
fore tho Turks.
I Rot out of the carriage. Already I
saw tho lovely one, and how full of
licavoniy grace and emotion alio would
receive mo. Ah 1 woman's heart 1 Doc9
fcho lovo mo still? thought I, and pro
ceeded with an uncertain step through
the garden.
Ueforo tho houso, under an arbor of
blooinlnc red acacias, sat two elderly
Indies, nnd two young ladles. Thoy
were rending. IUit Sophia I saw not.
I apologized for the Interruption I
had occasioned j for thoy all seemed
surprised nt my sudden appearance.
"Whom do you wish to see?" nsked
one of tho elderly ladles.
"'JIny I have the honor to pay my re-
spocts to tho Countess Sophia of Obfii-
dorf?" said I.
"I mn ."lie," replied to my amaze
ment the lady wh(fappoared to be somo
what near forty. I felt ns if I should
Imvo an nttack of vertigo.
"Penult mo to sit down ; I am not
well I" sighed I ; nnd seated myself
without waiting for an answer, what
a change! Whither had flovcn tho moft
bloomingof all beauties? Ths Illusion
passed away j 1 bethought my-clf of a
((unrtcr of a century. It was Hophin,
yew, it was she 1 but tho frilled Sophia.
To whom have I the honor to speak?"
asked she. Alas! sho xnuw me no but
ter than 1 knew her.
1 wished to avoid n scone bifore the
two ladies, and thereforo begged font
short tete-a-tete. Tho countess led mo
into tho bonse, and then into a largo
room on the left. Tho first tiling timt
met my eyes was a full-length portrait
oi lier father I could Und no words to
speak, my heart was so full. I gazed at
tho picture till my eyes grew dim with
tears. "Yes, old man," I stammered
in a low voice, "look now at thy So
phial Oh, thou hast not treated us
well."
The countess stood near mo, embar
rassed, nnd apparently alarmed at my
declaration. I wished to reieaso her
from her painfnl situation, and yet
could not speak. A feeling of sadness
had completely overpowered mo.
"You nro not well, sir?" said the
countess, and sho looked uneasily to
wards tho door.
"Oil no!" sighod Ij "do you not know
mo?"
She now Hied her eyre more earnest
ly upon me, and then gently shook her
bead. I snatched tho bean from my
bosom, knelt before her, and said, "Ah,
Sophia, do you still know this bean,
which separated us four-and-twenty
years ago ? I lmvo kept It faitltfully
Sophia, you said then,'Thero Is a provl
dencej' yes, there Is one,"
"O Heaven I" stammered she, with n
faint voice; and, turning from mo, went
towards a sofa, upon which sho threw
hersoif, nnd sought to conceal her paio
face with hor hands, but sho fuintenl
She had recognized me. Sho loved mo
still.
I called for help to tho ladles, who
were alirmed at tho sight of their friend
in a fainting fit, and a strange oilleer
kneeling before her in tears. I3ut be
fore water and smelling-bottles could
be brought, tho eountcss came to her
.-elf. Sho rubbed her eyes as if iu a
dream. Then a Hood of tears broke
forth i nhe subbed as if'she were iiicon--ohible,
threw her arms ari'iind my
neck, and ealleil mo by name.
Knoiigh, gentlemen, that was a mo
ment ! Angels might havo wept over
us. I had no thought of taking my
leave. The countess received mo as a
guest. Oh, how much had we to say
to iiu'h other, how faithfully she hail
loved me! What tho colonel oneo pre
vented, neither ho imr his family could
prevent any longer. Sophia became
my wife; somewhat lato It Is true, but
yet not too lato ; our souls still loved
with youthful fervor. My history, or
nithcr tho history of this bean, is now
at an cud, nota bene! not quite. 'Tor
the child that my Sophia boro me
brought into tho world with hern murk
upon hcrbrcastjustllkeaboan. Strange
freak of nature! Hut tho maiden is
only ao much the dearer to mo.
Hero tbo lieuteimnt-colotiel ended;
but I heard no maro. Every thing
swam around uifc; In my carsthcro was
. buzzing nnd humming llko tho sen.
Only in tho midst of it all, tho nauio of
Joseph Ino sounded.
Tho colonel's carriage was announced.
"You must not think of going," said
tho councillor; "I cannot lot you go In
tho night."
"Old" said tho colonel, "It is u lovely
night and bright moonlight."
My carrlugo was announced nlso. I
arose, wont to the colonel, took him by
tho linnd, nud snld, "Your nauio is
Von Tariuui."
Ho bowed in the affirmative.
"I beg you to spend this night with
me," said I ; much depouds upon it.
You must not go. I Imvo something
impoitnnt to say to you,"
1 said this so earnestly, and I might
add so uueoiiaciously, and at tho sauiu
timo trembled so violently, that the
old man did not know what to iiiako of
mo. Still ho remained tlrm, and in
sisted upon going, ills obstinacy al
most brought mo to despair.
"Come," said I, nnd BeUiug him by
tliu hand, drew him aside, and showed
him my bean ; "see it Is not a freak of
nature merely but of fate, I also wear
a bean,"
Tho old gentleman .opened his eyes
wide, looked at my Jewel attentively,
and at hint hi Id: "With such a talisman
one might conjure up a spirit from ths
grave. 1 will remain and go with you
wherever you please."
Ho went with tho councillor to order
away his carriage. As I had nppeared
FRIDAY, J AN. 15, 1869.
to him In r.lthcrn suspicious light, ho
sought further Information about mo.
Tho councillor was kind enough to say
overy thing that wns pleasant. I un
derstood It tho moment thoy re-enter
ed. Tho old gentleman wns as good-
humored ns over. IIo hnndod mo n
glass of punch, nnd cried, "Long live
tho beans 1 nnd, nota bono! whntovcr
thoy signify." Wo drank together.
Lira enmo back Into me.
"And so you nro Mr. Von Walter,"
fald ho, nfter a pause.
"Only Walter, no Von."
"And you wcro In Vienna a year
ngo?"
"Yes indeed!" answered I, and I felt
as if I were nil on tire.
"So, sol" said he. "My . sister-in-law
has told me a good deal about you.
You resided in tho -amo hotel. You
paid much nttentioii to tho good lady,
and she will thank you for it In porson."
Tho conversation now became more
genernl until the company broke up.
Tho lieutenant-colonel went homo with
me, and I conducted htm Immediately
to his room.
"And now," said he, "I havo thus far
been obedient. What have you so very
Important to tell mo?"
I began about Vienna, about tho aunt,
about Jirsophlno.
"I know all about that!" cried he,
"but tho d 1 1 what hitsthat to do with
tho bean you showedmo ?
I now laid aside all inanojuvcring.
lie learned all.
"I know all that, too 1" cried ho again.
"Hut the bean, the bean !"
I then told him of my second jpurnoy
to Vienna.
He burst onit Into a laugh, and shook
mo cordially by tho hand. "Nothing
moro now ! we will talk more to-morrow.
For you see I havo nothing to say
about It. What do you want of me?
To-morrow wo will' ride out to my
house. There you will seo Josophiuo,
and become acquainted with my Sophia,
that'h clear; people must got acquainted
with one another."
We .oparatod; I went to bed, but
could not bleep without feverish dreems.
' oini', Mr. Walter, out with tho
truth!" said tbu old gentleman to mo
tho following morning at breakfast; "I
know you are a rich man ; 1 see you
are a young one, from whom the girls
will not run away into a nunnery; 1
hear you are an honest ni.in, whom all
tho world respects; and I now learn
from yourself .that you urea man In
love; but all Ibis together Is not enough
without"
"My family is not noblo!" interrupt
ed I.
"That's not it, Sir, where mind and
heart have a diploma of nobility from
heaven, man's diploma may be dis
peiiK'd wth. I was no nobleman, and
yet tho countess Sophia loved me."
"What then Is wanting '"asked I.
"That I will tell you now, because,
notn bene! It is morning. In tho oven
ing, when ono Is oppressed with tho toil
and enro of the whole day, and tho
strong man becomes weak, and tho
greatest man somewhat less, one ought
not to lay tho least straw upon his
shoulder, so out with tho truth. With
your bean thero It Is a very dlireront
thing .from mine. MIno was tho work
of provldonco; first, a stumbling-block;
then, a corner-stone and main pillar of
truo love; finally, a world, which tlung
Itself between two long-united hearts,
and at last the msignot that drew as to
gether again. Your love is a more freak
of imagination. I lived for Sophia
from tho vo-y first moment I saw her ;
but it was not until a good year after
you first becamo acquainted with Jose
phine that you fell In love with her
L'uder.-tand me. 1 mean no Insinua
tion". You will awake from your
d ream, when you seo my (laughter again,
and the heavenly creation of your im
agination is changed into a qullo human
maiden. I'iually, and, nobi bene! let
Us take the bull by the hum-, Josephine
loves you not."
"That is hard !" sighed I ; "but aro
you sure of it?"
"Wo will go out to-day to my coun
try seat, and yoji can eoiivincoyourself.
What I know of your stay iu Vienna,
I havo learned from my sisler-iu-law,
not from my daughter, who, perhaps,
hardly remembers your name. Uesldes
wo Imvo a dangerous neighbor, tho
young count Von Molten. Mo visits
us often. Josepinu Is always glad to
seo him. I Imvo often caught bur look
ing ut him for somo momenta with evi
dent pleasure, and when sho found me
observing her, sho would blush lire-rod,
and skip laughing and singing away."
"If that is the ea-e, colonel," said I,
alter a long pau-o, lu which I sought
to collect inyt-elf, "I will not go with
you. It is best for iio never to seo your
daughter ngaln."
"Thero you are mistaken. I am anx
ious for your peaco of mind. You must
seo hor to eorreet your Imagination,
and recover yourself completely."
After many pros and eons I took my
seat health) him in tho carriage ; indeed,
I began to perceive that my Imagina
tion might havo been playing mo a
trick. As long as I lived alono in my
love-dreams, I becamo sei Intimate with
my ideal, I adorned Josephine with
such unearthly charms, I painted her
for that my enthusiasm could easily
do so gentle, so tender, so true, and so
silent an object of lovo, that tho very
first moment I exchanged a word upon
tho statu of my heart with it third per
eon, I Instantly perceived that one
half of my story was an Invention of my
own. So long ns n thought or feeling
remains unexpressed, wo know not Its
form. It is thogarmeutof tho thought,
tho word, that llrst givey it ilellulteucvs.s,
and separates the dream from thu re
ality, and puts thu mind in a situation
tojudgeof It us of something apart from
Itself.
It was a beautiful morning lu June,
when wo set out for tho resldeneo of
tho Von Tariiaus.and wltat astonished
.myself my mind was as eluur und unl
et ns it laid been a year before. My civil
and polite relations to Josephine and
her aunt during my llrst visit to Vlen
iiueamo up to my rcnicinbruucobo dU
tiuctly that I could not oven Imagine
COL.
how I could Imvo been thrown Into such
n fever only tho day before, and for
days nnd months previous. Yen, and
tho worst of It was, that I saw now that
I had not loved .losophino In Vienna,
and that oven now I did nut lovo hor,
although I might find her very lovely.
Tho carriage stopped before a slmplo
villa. Tins servant) appeared. Tho
colonel conducted mo into a parlor,
were two elderly Indies came forwnrd to
welcome, us.
lie mentioned my nauio, nnd then
said, whllo he put Ills arm round tho
elder of tho two; "And thin Is my So
phia I"
I bowed respectfully to tho old lady
of threescore, who had bceomo very In
torcstlngto mo through tho narrative of
tho ovenlng before. "Oh I" sighed I in
my heart, "what aro youth and beau
ty?" I could almost have believed that tho
experienced old soldier read In my eyes
tho meaning of my sigh. For ho pressed-his
wife's hand to his Hps, nnd said,
laughingly, 'Is It not so, my dear?
When one see.s old ladles and gentlo-
men, ono can hnrdly convince himself
that thoy havo oneo been young; and
when onesees a maiden In all tho fresh
ne.'s of her bloom, ho Is ready to wager
that she never can havo wrinkles and
gray hair."
Josephine's aunt recognised me as
quickly ns I did her. She said many
obliging things to me. c sat down
to the table, and took a second break
fast for tho sako of tho ladles' company.
"And where does Josophiuo keep her
self?" asked tho old man ; "sho will bo
glad to renew her Vienna .acquaint
ance." "Sho Is out In tho gardon with Count
Ilolton to enjoy theaurlculas before tho
sun Is too high," replied her aunt ; and
here I got n little chill. Ail my old
Imaginations wcro over. I collected
myself instantly. I never hud had any
claims hero; and so I had nono to lose.
I began to bo almost iishamcd of tiio
follies of my hoart nnd of tho tricks of
my imagination. I became lively, fell
in with the merry tonoof tho company,
and even related to tho nunt how pain
fully I had missed her upon my second
visit to Vlonnn.
During tho conversation a young
man entered of a noblo mien. Mis
countenanco was pale, bis eye's dark
and gloomy, his manner stiange and
disturned.
"Ladies," said lie, iu a hasty nud sub
dued tone, us if lie had studied his
speech, "permit me to take my leave
of you. 1 must return to-day to tho
uesidonce I have I am 1 shall, nor.
hups, bonbscnt forsouio time, perhaps
ninKo n long journey."
Thu colonel turned nud looked fixed
ly at him. "What disturbs you, Count
Molten?" cried he; "you look as if you
nan committed a murder."
"No," replied he, with n forced smile.
"rather llko a man who has been mur
dered."
And with that ho kissed tho ladies'
hands, embraced the colonel, and rusl
cd out of the houso without saying an
other word. Tho colonel followed him
In all haste. Tholadies were greatly em
bnrrnssod.I learned that this young man
was their neighbor Count Holten; that
too evening tioforo, us ho had often dono,
ho nail como to pay thorn a visit, had
appeared very happy an hour 'before,
and wns now no moro llko himself.
"What hns happened to him?" asked
tholauies, when the colonel nft"r somo
time returned.
Tho old gentleman looked very se
rious, shook his head, smiled across to
his Sophia, and said, "You must a-k
Josephine."
"Mas she oU'ended him V" Inquired
the aunt, ahiriued.
"That is as pcoplo tako it !" replied
he; "It Is a long story, buttlie count told
it in I wfi or throo words: 'f loved and
was not loved iu return.' "
-J ii t then the door opened, and Miss
Von Tarnau entered. It was she, and
more lovely, more beautiful than .vhen
I saw her in Vienna, moin i.raceful
than in my dreams. I aro-o, but when
I would approach her, my knefs trem
bled, I was rooted to the spot I Htam
mered out some disconnected words I
was at oneo the most nappy and Ihe
most miserable of mortals.
Josephine stood nt tho door blushing
deeply ; she gassed at me as at an appar
ition, and then recovering from her
surprise, smilingly approached tho ta
blu ufter tho llrst exchange of saluta
tions; tho riddle of our unexpected
meeting was solved. I related how I
hud learned her whereabouts only tbo
day beft.ro; nnd she, how her father
hud bought tho Moravian estate, and
had settled down heroin tho midst or
the mo.t charming landscape in the
world.
"Al" aunt, dear aunt!" cried she,
tnklng her aunt's hand In both hers,
and pressing it to hor heart, whllo sho
threw upon mo a look which sparkled
with no doubtful Joy, "did not I tell
you so ? Was I not right ?"
Tho good aunt smiled, and cast a si
Icnclug look upon Josephine. Mer
mother cast her cyon down to conceal u
certain embarrassment. Mer old father
looked Inquiringly from one to thu oth
er, arote, and whispered lu my ear
witli a loud voice: "Mr. Walter, 1
guess you havo found tho beau in tho
right place- ut last. Hut you Josephine,
wlmt havo you dono to Count Molten,
that ho has gone offin such a fury?"
Josophiuo answered ovnslvely. Wo
all aroso and wont into tho garden. Tho
lleuteiiaut'colouelthowed molds mead
ows, Ileitis, outhouses, btubles, Ac,
whilst tho ladies were In lively conver
sation In thu bummerdiuuse. After a
tedious half hour wu returned to them
from tills doinestlo survey. The old
gentleman was called aside, and Joso
phiuo left to entertain me.
1 Intended to bo very rtterved to
wards Josephine, I was afraid ol tho
futo of Count Molten. Wo spoko of our
acipialulant-o In Vienna, of our former
intercourse, walks, and vurious little
incidents. "Ah !" cried Josephine, "If
you only knew how grieved wo were on
your uecouiit, when you were bo sud
denly called away from in. Certainly,
ihcrohas nut been a moment slnco-ycs,
wo Imvo often talked about you,"
IJBM.-YOL. XXXII NO. 18.
And now how could I havo dono
otherwise? now I told her my wholu
story, my second Journey toVlennn,my
possession of her apartments -und over
more softly, over moro timidly tho
finding of tho lioin rny return to my
native city tho hi dory of tho evening
before. Hero I paused. I did not dare
to look up. I played In tho sand with
my foot. Joscphlno'f) slloneo lasted a
long while.
At last I thought I heard a sob. I
lookod up. She had hidden her face iu
hor handkerchief. With a trembling
voleo I asked, "For heaven's sake, Miss
Josephine, has my frankness dlsploM.
ed you ?"
Sho let tho handkerchief fall, nnd
looked nt mo smiting through her tears.
"Is it all truo?" she asked, after ft
pause. I tore tho bean from my neck,
and hold It up before her, with the
words, "Here Is my witness."
She took tho bean, as If from curiosi
ty, merely to examine tho setting, ncr
tears flowed still more freely. Loaning
on my arm, sho laid her forehead on my
shoulder, and whispered, "I bolicTo In
n providence, Walter 1"
I clasped tho lovely creature to my
heart, and cried, "Now I could d!o!"
Sho looked up at mc alarmed.
Tho voices of persons npproaehlng
through the shrubbery warned us to go
and meet thorn. Josephine still had
tho bean In her hand when wo stood
before her parents. The colonel saw it,
nnd laughed aloud. Josephine hid her
beautiful face in her mother's bosom
Yet why moro words ? You well know
that Josephine Is my wife; I wished to
relate to j ott only tho romance of my
love.

the appointment of n Joint committee",
by tho Legislature, whose duty It shall

or if Tumid to be worthiest, to camel
