Thou art lovelier than the coming
Of the fairest flow'rs of spring,
When the wild bee wanders humming.
Like a blessed fairy thing.
Thou art lovelier than the breaking
Of the Orient crimson'd morn.
When the gentlest winds are shaking
The dew-drops from the thorn.
Thou art lovelier than the coming
Of the fairest flow'rs of spring,
When the wild bee wanders humming,
Like a blessed fairy thing.
I have seen the wild flow'r9 springing
In field, in wood, in glen,
Where a thousand birds are singing,
And my thoughts were of thee then ;
For there's nothing gladsome round me,
Nothing beautiful to see,
Since thy beauty's spell hath bound me,
But is eloquent of thee.
Thou art lovelier than the coming
Of the fairest flow'rs of spring,
When the wild bee wanders humming,
Like a blessed fairy thing.

THE TRAVELLER'S LAST INN;
Or. TIIE IS9-REEPER OF 9UVER6IE.
A PRUSSIAN TALE OF THRILLING INTEREST.
Eu the Author of '' The Orange Girl of J'enirr,"
and other Tales.
CHAPTER I.
I was travelling in Prussia, for the house
of M. Lescois, of Paris, whose transactions
in that country were of an importance to
ronfer on hiin the sobriquet of 4 the great
mile Prussian dealer,' for M. Lescois was
very slender and diminutive in person,
while his foreign and domestic business
wns perhaps as large as that of any house
i 1 all France.
At the village of Lergue, 1 had succeeded
i creating an additional correspondent for
the house of M. Lescois. end highly pleased
at my success, returned to my inn to take a
lunch, settle my bill, seize my portmanteau
n<! start for Berse.
W hen I finished my meal, I stepped up
A mine host, and while paying his charges,
enquired the nearest route to Berse.
•To Berse!' repeated the landlord,
Loughtfully. ' Are you for Berse?'
' To Berse !' said another voice near inc.
• Are von for Berse V
I turned, somewhat surprised, and be
..eld a tall, straight, slender man, of per-
some eight-and-twenty or thirty years,
lb was neatly and gentlemanly dressed in
- ..t of dark blue, and bore the aspect and
;; • arance of one who had seen enough :
>i :he world to carve through the balance 1
i his career in the face of all opposition.
His appearance pleased me, and I was
- <1 of the prospect of having him for a
uipunion ; for notwithstanding the ad
mirable regulations of the mounted and
infantry police of Prussia, there is still
■iidicient danger to travellers, in journey
*iig through the provinces, to make them
rejoice at every accession to their ranks.
• 1 am for Berse.' saiil I, addressing the
traveller. 4 Are you V
' Yes,' was the'reply.
• When do you set out ?'
• As soon as 1 shall have despatched this
{■iate. Will monsieur wait ?'
• Yes.'
In a few minutes he was ready and we
quitted the inn.
• We have some fifteen miles to travel
itfore we shall reach Berse,' said my com
panion, as we entered on the high road.
' -nd we may as well understand each other,
ire YOU on business or pleasure ?
- Why do you ask V
4 You will know presently.'
• 1 arn on business. And you
4 Am on business also,' he replied. 'lt
i- then our interest as well as our duty to
take the shortest path. That is my opin
ion. Is it yours V
• Unquestionably.'
4 Very pood. Now let us examine the
Uv .i routes by which we can reach our des
ti union. The high road, in which we arc
now travelling, is clear and dangerless, but
marked by fifteen mile stones, to pass all
of which will take us till ten o'clock. —
I hen it will he night, and front the present
"ppcarnnec of the skv, as black as pitch.
' Well.'
•That forest that YOU see yonder, to the
i-ft, lias two paths—the first leading to
berse, th* other to .Sauvergne. From
in :n c to that forest is but one mile, and
'mill hence to Berse, by tlx* path in that
'"rem, but seven miles.*
' Well.'
' The high road i* free from danger, but
is seven hours' travel.'
• Well.'
&sm ws ©(SfisrararEa :?i_ w
4 The road through the forest may be
dangerous, but it is only three hours' travel.
A\ liich path shall we take to Berse
' I am armed,' said I. - and have no fears. !
And you ?'
'l, too, am armed, and have no fears. It !
is then decided that we take the forest route?'
4 It is.'
We set forward at once.
My portmanteau was small and light,
and 1 slung it over my back, and it hung
suspended by a belt running across tny
breast and around my shoulders. This
gave free use to my arms, in case of an
emergency, as well as enabled me to carry
with ease a small sword-cane, whose long,
sharp, slender blade was made of the trus
tiest and finest tempered steel.
My companion carried a smilar weapon,
but one somewhat heavier than mine. He
handled it, however, as if it were a feather,
and carried it with a grace that astonished
me.
4 You have other weapons in case of
need ?' said, he carelessly.
4 Oh, yes,' I replied cautiously, but with
out naming them ; lor it is not well, as 1
know by experience, to reveal all that we
know, or show all that we have.
4 As for me,', he continued, in the same
apparently careless tone, * 1 hate this sword
cane, a brace of pistols, and a knife.'
4 Excellent weapons in case of need,' 1
observed, 4 which I fervently trust will not
be the ease.'
• I agree with you,' he responded, and
then fell into silence.
In a few miuutes we reached and entered
the forest. It presented a wild, frightful
aspect, and I half repented my willingness
to enter it; hut shame prevented me from
admitting as much to my companion, who
looked around and before him, and strode
on, in search of the path to Berse, with all
the coolness of one long accustomed to
i danger.
We pushed on. and keeping to the left,
| soon came to a path.
4 This must be the one,' observed my
: companion. 4 lt is ten years since ! last
' travelled this forest, but 1 think I am right.
I don't remember these trees, it is true, nor
this large stone. But ten years change the
i face of things, and why not here ' This
J stone must have been put here since,' he
, added, after a few moment's reflection.—
■ ■ What say you, comrade, shall we risk it ?*
4 I have confidence in your judgement,
. and will leave it to you.'
4 Thank you,' he returned. 4 Then for
ward.'
We pursued the path, which was so nar
| row and grass-grown that it merely indica
ted a road without permitting margin enough
' for even one person to walk upon it.
| We walked each side of it; and as we
pushed on, the forest became thicker, and
i denser, and darker.
4 We must he cautious,' observed my
! companion, 4 and have our arms ready.—
i Robberies and murders have taken place
here before now.'
4 1 should suppose that nothing of the
kind could take place in anv part of Prus
| sia, in these days,' 1 said, laughing to hide
! the slight fears which I feared were visible
on my cheeks. 4 The laws are so perfect
ly administered, and punishment so certain,
j that there is but little encouragement to
i crime.'
4 How do you reconcile that idea with
j the existence of the Inn of Sauvergne ! I!
' 1 have been correctly informed, it still stands,
: and with its landlord, his wife, three sons
and two daughters, bids defiance to Fred
i crick and his police.'
4 The Inn of Sauvergne,' 1 repeated, 4 1
: have never heard of it.'
4 You have never heard of it? 1 reitera
ted my companion, with a look of uston
! ishment. 4 Are you in earnest "
4 Perfectly.'
4 You amazemr. The Inn of Sauvergne
—for though a town of a thousand iuhab
! itants, it has but one—is known all over
Prussia. It is familiarly known as 7Vie
j Traveller a Tast Inn.'
4 W by is it thus known ?'
4 Because tbe traveller who puts up at the
Inn of Sauvergne never puts up at another.'
4 Is the entertainment so good ?'
| *ltis so good, that no traveller has ever
been known to complain of it.'
4 Its guests are then well cared for?'
4 They arc eared for; and so well that
no traveller who has ever crossed its thresh
\ old has ever been known to leave it."
• \ ou speak of a Paradise, not an Inn.'
4 1 speak of no Paradise—l speak of a
house of terror and death—J speak of—'
4 The Traveller's Last Inn! I la! ha!
haV cried a voice near us.
4 If a ! who speaks ?' cried my rompan
j ion, suddenly wheeling round and present
! iiig a pistol.
His face was pale, his eyes alive ami
stern, his frame somewhat agitated ; but
his lip was firm, his hand boldly erect, and
bis attitude that of a hero,
j As for myself, I was conscious of a ner
vousness that could arise from but one
cause on earth—fear.
4 Who speaks V again demanded my
companion,with lion-like energy. 'Answer!'
But no answer came. For more than a
minute we waited a repetition of the mvs
tcrious voice, #r a reply. But neither came,
and we resumed our journey silently.
But so/ne-hovv or other we had wandered
from the track in ur confusion, and had
walked some distance before we discov
ered it.
Here was a painful dilemma.
4 We must retrace our steps till we find
it,' observed my companion, briefly.
4 So he it,' said I.
In a few minutes we came to the path,
but it was wider than before.
M\ companion paused and examined it
thoughtfully , then following it with his eve,
till it was lost in the distance.
•11l were superstitious, 1 fancy
this forest an abode of devils,' he observed
at length. 4 This road has grown wide sud
denly, or else it is not the one we were
travelling before.'
And I noticed that his cheeks became
quite pale,and Ids lips somewhat tremulous.
4 W hat is best to he done ?' said 1 falier
ingly.
4 Remain here for a moment, while 1
cross and see if there be not another path ;
it there be, and it prove narrow, as at first,
then it must he the one we have lost. If
not—'
He paused, and his eye met mine.
4 If not,' said 1. with a terrible sense of
impending e\ ii.
• It not,' he resumed, with thrilling en
ergy, 4 then let come what will, this path
must be followed.'
lie left me, but soon returned, shaking
his head.
4 We must go on,' he said stem! v. 4 This
track may lead to Berse, and it may bring
up at Sauvcrgne. Let us on, however, in
God's name.'
I was too agitated to make any obervn
tion in reply, am! we walked on. Our
lips were silent; but our eves, as thev
wandered round, on every side, proclaimed
the terror that was fast driving away all
courage from our breasts.
Our excitement put fresh energy in our
limbs ; and ere long we were in the very
heart of the wood. At this moment, we
discerned ahead, and advancing towards
us, the dim outline of a human form.
4 Look well to your arms.' observed mv
companion, still keeping his eyes on the
approaching figure. •We know not v. ho
this may be.'
4 1 am prepared for the worst,' I replied :
4 but look,' 1 exclaimed, as we neared the
stranger, 4 there can be no danger in him,
his dress is that of a miller.'
4 The dress is no authority for the ortho
doxy of the wearer,' returned m\ compan
ion, in a low \ oiee. 4 Be cautious, he is
hen 4 .'
We were, rapidly approaching the strnn
-4 ll<>, neighbor,' cried my companion,
It ailing him, • is this the road to Berse ?*
4 You'll be there in an hour.' replied
the man, running his ey cs rapidly over
our persons.
4 At Berse I'
4 Ay, av, good man. at Berse. It's on
ly an hour's trawl. Keep right on.*
4 W hat cheer is a man like to m# t at
Berse ?"
4 The best, good man. the best. ou'l!
meet the best Hotel, at the edge of the
forest, to he found in fot'tx miles."
4 What is the sign ?'
4 The 44 \\ hite Wolf," "replied tin man.
4 Thank you, neighbor, thank you.
Good day.'
4 Good lav. gentlemen, good day.'
We passed him, and pursued our jour
ney. Not a word passed between us till
we had left the miller a long way behind.
4 What think you of him now said
ntv companion, in a low voice.
■ 1 know not what to think. But you
—you are somewhat familiar with litis
section of the country, and should under
stand its manners and its customs. To me,
there seems a something in the man's
manner nd language, which, while i can
not define it, strikes me wjjh alarm. Ib
is no miller ; or, if he he, he is one accus
tomed to mingle above his fellows.'
4 You are right.,* said my companion,
musingly, 4 heis no miller, lie is too in
telligent for that. His language is above
his character. Hid von notice any simi
larity between Ins voice and that ol the
strange one that uttered those harsh, mock
ing words, a while back ?'
4 it did not strike me ; did if you ?'
4 Faintly . It was to test it that I hailed
hint so loudly at first. There was a heav
iness in the tone of his replies that fell
upon my ears ringing!), like tlie other.
4 But whom do \on suspect hint to he ?'
4 Hush, not so loud. These trees a
round us are aged, and their trunks are
large. There art. 4 large rocks scattered
around us, too. For Heaven's sake, he
cautious, and have your trusty weapons
ready at a moment's warning. If we are
in the toils, our eyes had better he about
us.'
4 If there he danger, let tts turn back.'
Mv companion laughed derisively.
4 No,' said lie, bitterly. 4 This path does
or does not lead to Berse. If the former,
and the man we met is honest, we shall
he there in an hour at the farthest, and all
is well ; if the latter, and the miller is a
knave, reflect—he is between us and Ler
guc, to cut off our retreat.'
4 But we are two, and he—'
4 Hush ; if he he what my fears suspect,
relv upon it, he is not alone. As I have
said, remember that we are traversing a
forest whose trees are old, and whose
trunks arc large and hollow enough to hide

a thousand foes. There arc rocks, too, <
with cavities. Remember that.'
The forest darkened as we advanced.
4 Night is continued my com- 1
pattion.' 4 W e must hasten faster, or we
shall he lost. Hush !'
4 Is that thunder ?' I enquired.
4 No,' replied inv companion, whom it
visibly agitated ; 4 it is the warning cry
of an outpost woll. Wo are scented.
Forward, in God's name !'
Tin 4 forest grew darker and darker. As
we dashed out, we perceived lights gleam
ing faintly through the trees.
At the same moment we heard the echo
ing of many feet, like that of animals
leaping on the earth behind us.
• I hey are upon us," exclaimed my com
panion. 4 Each now for himself, and
God protect both. Earewell !'
And on his heel he flew, as if racing
wi!h the wind. In the gloom, 1 made out
to discern his form just distinctly enough
to follow iti his wake.
A loud roar behind, warned me that the
wolves had become aware of our flight.
In tny terror, I lost sight of my compan
ion : till ! heard the echoing of his foot
st< ps, and plunged on.
I s av the light ahead grow ing, momen
tarily. larger and larger. By this I knew
1 was gaining on them, and that deliver
ance was m ar.
My strength was giving out but I dared
not 1 dared not halt. Life and
hope were before me—the wolves and
death behind inc.
Ihe terrible enemies in mv rear were
now so close upon me that I could hoar
them pant in their chase.
A sense of choking came upon inc ; hut
with a violent cflon I shook it off, and
flew on.
Suddenly, a painful feeling crept over
me. fhe panting b< i<ts were hard upon
tue. The air was hot and heavy with
their breathings.
\ load was on my heart, sitting there
with i!i.. 4 strength and weight of a night
man . A com icfion that death was near,
flashed upon me. All the sins, coneep
tionul and actual, of my past life, rose up
'•'••fore me W illi terrible distinctness.
4 I know m\ hour has com v I muttered
as 1 sped on, 4 but I shall not die without
a struggle.'
\\ it 11 ni\ kmie I cut uw a\ the belting
of ill) portmantau, and w ith-a dull, heavy
sound, it fell to the earth. My cane was
also thrown aside, and I grasped a pistol
in one hand and a knife in the other.
Meanwhile the lights increased in num
ber and size before me. The forest grew
le-s thick and mazy also ; but this latter
was of little advantage, for while it offered
loss obstruction to me, it enabled the hun
gry pack behind to run me down more
easily.
To ail 4to mv perilous strait, all was
dark as pitch around me. and the wolves
were so near. ! momentarily expected to
feel their terrible claws and revolting
breaths.
At this moment, a voice that almost
made rny heart leap out of m \ breast,
cried out :
4 \ ou are on the edge of* a gulf-—turbid
waters are rolling between us. l'ut your
lailh in < od and leap."
At the same instant I felt two heavy
paw s upon my shoulders, and a hot breath
upon my cheek. I lteringaer\ of alarm.
1 flung the hand containing the knife
around me, and leapt the brink.
1 heard a low cry, a frightful veil, the
quick tolling and tumbling of a body, a
loud crash in contiguous waters, followed
almost immediately by a roar that resem
bled the howling of ten thousand dgviis.
4 Good ! \ou are game, comrade.—
You have done for that fellow. The rest
of that rascally pack dare not leap that
gtdf, and stand there licking their jaws in
their wrath. Now follow me—the rascals
may alter their minds, and we are not yet
out of the forest.
I grasped his hand—dropped ii—and
the fever of my fright being si ill upon me,
darted on.
In a few minutes we cleared the forest,
and found ourselves in sight of' a small
town, in the windows of whose houses
we discerned many a cheering light.
We soon reached the town, and looked
about us for a resting place. The night
was dark, and perhaps for that very reason
w 4 e were unable to.discover a solitary form
in the streets.
In a few minutes we came in sight of a
building, whose size announced it either a
hotel or a jail. As we neared it, we saw
plainly that it was the former.
4 Is this a house of entertainment ?' said
111 v companion to a man sitting on the
steps, with a large pipe in his mouth.
4 (t is,' answered the man.
4 Are yon its master ?'
4 No, monsieur, I am one of its attend
ants.'
4 What is its name V
4 VV hose—the landlord's ?'
• No, the Itin's.'
4 The White Wolf.'
4 Good. We are then at Berse.'
4 Walk in, gentlemen, walk in.'
My companion laid his hand upon my
arm significantly, and we entered.
The man followed 11s, and the door was
immediately re-cjoscd.
TO lit: COM I t'OKO.
THE RETORT DISCO IRTEOTS —At a
convention of clergymen, not long since, it
was proposed by one of the members, af
ter they had dined, that ea'ch man should
entertain the company with some interest
ing remarks. Among the rest, one drew
upon his fancy and related a dream.
In his dream he went to heaven, ami lie
described the golden streets, the river of
silver, etc. As he concluded, one of the
divines, who was somewhat noted for his
penurious and money saving habits,
stepped up to the narrator and enquired
jocosely :
• Well, did you see anything of me in
vour dream ?'
4 Yes, I did.'
• Indeed ! what was 1 doing.'
4 A on were on your knees.'
4 Praying, was I
4 -Nu—scraping up the gold !'
THE POSER POSED.—In a jolly com
pany, each one was to ask a question—it
it was answered he paid a forfeit, or if he
could not answer it himself he paid a for
feit. Pat's question was: How the little
ground squirrel iligs his hole without show
ing any dirt about the entrance. AY her
they all gave up. Pat said, ' Sure, do voi
see. he begins at the other end of the hole.
One ot the rest exclaimed, ' But how does
he get there?' 4 All,' said Pat, 4 that's
your question—can vou answer it vour
self?'
CLERICAL JOKE.—At a meeting of the
church the pastor gave out the hymn com
mencing with • I iove to steal awhile away,'
when the chorister commenced sinking, but
owing to some difficulty in recollecting the
tune, could proceed no further than * 1
love to steal, which he did three or four
times in .succession, when the clergyman,
in order to relieve him from the dilemma,
waggishly remarked that it was • very
much to be regretted.'
4 Down Hast,' some where, a pious old
lady was summoned as a witness in an
important case. * Having lived in the hack
woods ail Iter days, she was wholly unac
quainted with the rules of a court of jus
tice. llemg told that she must • swear,'
the poor woman was tilled with iiorrorat
the thought. \\ ith much persuasion she
yielded, and being told to 4 hold up her
right hand.' she did so, 4 Well, if I must,
I must—/ Jam.'" The court immediately
adjourned.
A LOVING DIALOGUE.— 4 My dear wife,
lam going to leave you. The doctor tells
me that I can live but a few hours at the
most! 1 shall soon be in Heaven !'
4 W hat, you soon be in heaven ?—A'oti ?
You'll never be no nearer Heaven than
you are now ! you old brute !'
4 Dolpheus !* hoarsely growled the old
man— 4 Dolpheus, bring rne mv cane,
and let ine larrup the old trollop once
more before 1 die !'
• Sambo, whar you get dat vvach vou
wear to meetin lass Sunday ?'
4 How you know 1 hab a waeh ?*
• Kase 1 seed de chain hang out de pocket

4 (i'way, nigger ! spose you see de halter

• 1 believe the jury have been inoculated

be," said his opponent. 4 but the bar are of
