Lone time he lay ab in a dream ; No sound bruke on his ear, Save rippling music from the stream— Tunes to that minstrel dear. The vesper star, that brightly shone. Loulied down with angel eye, On this fond, saddened, gentle one, From the far, deep, blue sky. And then the welcome Queen of Night— Her silvery flag unfurled. Resplendent in her silvery light.

' feet seemeli fastened to the ground, and an hens Bred times he 'humbled over impedimehts *hid' appeared to lie in his path, the nature of which he was prevented by the darkness from discovering. Still with that blindness and obstinacy which usu ally characteiizethe,dreamer, be continded to ad. vanes, until allast,'the moon shining out, he found himself standing a!oritna4a church-yard, and cas ting his eyes upon a grave. rte befGre him, Colo. nel beheld his own namelagelptured on the marble! Struck with surprise, he - ed again, hut it was no longer there ; and, • passing rough the.churrh.yardswhich now offered no ebstruc • to Acs steps, he entered the inn The visirrn then became confused, and nothieg was clearly defined, until he rimed him-elf in his chamber Here a sen sation of tear seemed to hang upon him, and he, was oppressed by the feeling of intense expecta r non so often experienced in dreams. Still the church-yard appeared a. a prominent feature in the scene. The room seemed surrounded with win. dons yet all presented the same arhastlyapecraele, of graves and tomb stones. gleaming white is the moon shine; which premed, as he gazed upon them, to gape beneath his eyes. At last he went to bed, but scarcely had he laid his head upon hhe pillow, when the door of his chamber opened, and he beheld a figure in whom he recognized the landlord of the inn, advancing towardajtim with a knife in his hand ; followed by another holding a lantern Agonized by fear, the dreamer strove to shriek- for help and mercy, but his tongue, refusing to perform its office, slave to the roof of his mouth. At this crisis his agitation awoke him, and he fouad himself sitting upright in hie bed ; cold drops were hanging on his brow, and he trembled as if an ague titr. nor were his feelings much less unpleasing af ter the first agitation had subsided. The church yard and the dagger still haunted his imagination; and, as he lay iu silent darknees, a thousand fear ful tales arose to his rememberance, of travellers who had fallen by the bands of assassins, and oth ers who had strangely disappeared from the high way, and whose fate was yet shrouded id silence and mystery. 'ln justice to Colonel B.'s character, which might otherwiselsuffer in the reader's estima tion, from his indulging ideas so little consoliant ivith his reputation as a soldier, I must remind him that, at the period of my narrative, travelling did not possess all the ease and accomcklation it now enjoys. Stage-coaches were yet in their .infancy ; the inns had sometimes a very ill name ; the roads were bad. and occasionally frequented by such as scrupled not at saying Stand to a true man; so that a hang journey was then regarded, as a matter not only of consequence, but even hazard. In these days of peaceful travelling and " genteel accom modation for man and horse," some ridicule would justly attach itself to him, whose sleep should be ilkutbed by an approaching journey; but forty years ago, people might have dreamed of being murdered in the road between London apd York, without incurring the charge of unreasonable To retain to my narrative, Colonel B---, tons trig himself from these sombre meditations, made a solemn resolution.to "dream no more," and, fat ling into a peaceful and undisturbed slumber, he awoke nest morning without a trace of the childish feelings which had so lately agitated him.

Not that he was by any means super stitious: on the contraryi he knew few people so free from credulity as himself; he only avoided the fulfilment of the dream so far, lest, as was must probable, it should excite a repetition of the night mare, and that be should be sorry for. Having thus former', and above all, accounted for his reso lution, he dismissed the subject fronOis thoughts and proceeded as gaily as ever. And now the sun began to decline, and evening to close in ; Colonel B—watched the bright orb as it set belting the distant hills; and thsn, having lingered till the last streak of gold disappeared from the horizon, he quickened his pate towards a vii ' lege which appeared at distance, and where, his horse being &tigued;'he hoped to obtain quar ters for the night. The shades of evening were falling thick around him as he entered the village; the chill blast of a November night moaned through • the trees, it was a lonely place, and the Colonel be gan to doubt, from its wretchedness of appearance, if it could afford accommodation for himself and his horse. At length be thought he could distin guish a sign-post in the distance ; he quickened his EMI BE pace, and soon became convinced that he was rip proaching.some house of entertainment; bet es he . came nearer, a slight laming in the read disclosed to him another cbject ; he started, and, for • law momenta, felt more than he liked to own, even .to himself. " Was h poieible I No it could not be; the twilight had deceived him;' bat a few paces convinced him that it was no delusion, for exactly opposite his intended lodging stood the village church, with its usual accompanment of graves and tombstones. His immediate impulse was to pass the house without farther hesitation; but, recover ing from his surprise, he now began to reason with 'mself upon tl►e folly and impropriety of suffering his ► agina non to be so acted upon as to refuse they shelter tv h was thus afforded to him, and which , the situation o is horse rendered almost necessa ry ; while by pate ling he risked , the chance of being' fienighted in a 'iart, of the country entirely unknown to him ; and what motive could lie as sign fur acting thus? A dream forsooth ! a night mare accastrined by a disturbed mind, or a hearty supper ! No, an officer in the British army would not allow himself to be led astray by every turn of a distempered lancy ; he would enter the ►nn. By the time this manly resolution was adopted, Colonel B. had arrived 'at the place of destination; where, having examined the house, his determi nation bgar► to waver. It was situated quite at the extremity of the village, and lather apart from any other habitation; and, whether it' was really so, or that the di-tempered state of his nerves in- fluenced his judgment, he knew not, but it certain ly appeared him that the place wore an aspect of seclusion and gloom very unlike the air of cheer ful comfort which usually . .oharacterizes an inn.— "It is a mean looking place," said he, " and the accommodations will be wretched." lie looked again at the churchyard, and became every moment more strongly convinced of the bad accommodations of its opposite neighbor. "It was a miserable plaice :he daubted indeed if he should he aisle to obtain a bed them; it was evidently lit tle more than a common hedge ale-house; and it would only be putting them to inconvenience should he attempt to stop." lie was startled in his meditations by a dismal sound, harsh and discor dant. " I A murderer hanging in chains, perhaps." No, it was only the creaking of the sign -post over his head, as the wind impelled it upon its rusty hinge. The owner of the house now came for ward ; a ferocious looking person, with an expres sion of sullen malignity in his countenance; look ed as if he had not been shaved for a month, and his manners, if not decidedly uncivil, were so disa greeable and abrupt, that if the traveller's resoln lion had before began to falter, the sight of the inn keeper soon overthrew it entirely; and, having in quired the distance of the nearest town, which he found to be very trifling, Colonel B. wave the spur to his jaded horse, and theChureh-yard, the gloomy inn, and the ferocious inn-keeper, were soon left far behind. Fate now seemed determined to atone for her former unpropitious treatment; after riding about half a mile, the traveller reached a town Whose cheerful appearance afforded a contrast the most striking to the lonely village he had just quitted.— The inn, a pleasant looking place, stood surround ed by other house- , , arid nothing like a church-yard was to be descried. Rejoicing in his good fortune, Colonel B. dismounted, and entered the house; he wa- conducted into a room whose naturally pleas ant aspect was now heightened by the braze of a cheerful fire: the attendants were civil, the simper excel tent, and as he enjoyed the luxury of his pres ent situation, he blessed the 1 - timidly warn mg, which, by exciting his apprehensions. however mi neeessarily. had induced him to exchange a bail lodging fur one so lull of comfort and convent- GEM The event g passed rapidly away. by means of the usual amusements of a :urinary night at an inn, eating and yawning; and; at ten o'clock, the colo nel ,'estred to be shown to his apartment.

He now began to prepare himself for bed ; while he was engaged his attention was attracted by the noon, which, shining,in all the lustre of a clear aperture of the window curtain. Attracted by its . beauty, Colonel B. approached the window to take a more distinct view of the fair planet; when, drawing asidethe intervening shade he Mood trans fixed in shuddering horror, for a cemetery lay be fore him, where the moon Islas gleaming white up on graves and tombenoties„„itith a brilliancy which rendered every object as clear as if he bad beheld it in open day light ! For a few _moments he felt completely unnerved ; the dteam was again before him, and he dwelt upon its strange fulfilment, un til his blood seemed curdling in his veins ; and he turned from the window unable to endure ilia ghat'. Hy prospect it presented to his view. The loneli ness of his situation, the church-yard, all seemed accomplished, all but the dreadful conclusion of the vision; he looked around-hint* gloomy der pondency, till overcome by the horrors his isuagi boa conjured up, he resolved to leave the house, and had actually quitted bis chamber forcible pur pose, preferring every alternative to passing the night in his present situation, when the order and quiet which seemecito reign throughout the building only disturbed at isivtervals by the laughter of some loiterers at the bar, once more recalled him 'lo the absurdity of his apprehensions; and chiding him: self for his cowardice, the Colonel returned to his INIESZ CCM= itinuosicsa Oy plinntitivison raoll ANY et:urn:l.li room, with a full deteliminatton of driving the dream from his remembrance. and sleeping in peace.— As a proof of his assumed courage, he now advanc ed boldly to the window, gazed with a steady eye Upon the scene without, admired the moon, mede a few observations upon the effects of light sail anAle and ended by whistling a tune moat perseveringly, from beginning to end. Still he did not neglect taking every precaution in power against the pos sibility ofsurprise ; he fastened his door carefully, examined every part of the room, and having pre pared his pistols, laid ,hem by the side of his bed. But notwithstanding the firmness of his iLsolution he could 'not think of actually lying down without a slight feeling of awe ; nay, he had at one time, half determined to pass the night in an arm-chair; which idea however he abandoned as too unrea sonable to be indulged ; and shortly after. retired to bed. leaving the light still burning. Overcome by fatigue, Col. B. soon fell asleep, but his slumbers vele broken and uneasy, and from these he was at length awaked abruptly by a noise which sound ed close to, it not actually, within his chamber The agitated *me of his mind which all his phil• osophy had not quite succeeded in calming, ren dered every accidental sound a subject of apprehen sion and he listened attentively, but all was again silent and he concluded that the disturbance which in the contusion of his thoughts, on awakening, he fancied so near, had, in reality, arisen from the de parture of some of the guests. His slumber appear ed to have been of some continuance, for the light was now expiring and its fitful gleam, as the blue flames rose and fell in the socket, mingled unpleas ently with the broad light of the moon. He was summoning up energy to arise and extinguish it, when he was again startled by the sound which had awoke him. The lamp had given its last faint strug gle, like a troubled soul clinging to the life it is about to leave forever, when another light mingled with the pale moonshine end the traveller now perceived that it glimmered through a door which had been so carefully concealed that it had entirely escaped his observation, bat which was now open ing slowly and cautiously Doubting if he were not still under the influence of a dream Colonel B. flied his eyes upon the aperture, which continued gradually to widen, and he soon became aware that he was no longer 'the sole inhabitant of the chamber; the light, however, would not permit him to discover the number of his adversaries ; and, being ignorant how many he had to cope with, he committed himself to the protection of Heaven, and placing his hand upon one of his pistols, remained perfectly still, awaiting the aPproach of his murder ers with firmness and resolution. They paused, and whispered together for a few moments; and then, with slow and noiseless steps, drew near the bed. There were two men ; and the former as they approached bidding the other Hold up the lanthorn." the Colonel perceiv'ed its dim light gleam ing upon-a knife which he held in his hard. 'They were now within a few paces of the bed and on the event of that moment depended the fate of the • Colonel; he felt that it did so; and, rousing every energy to his assistance, he raised the pistol with a firm hand., when, in the next instant, his antagonist lay weltering, in his blood. The other immediate ly flew ! and Colonel 8., springing from the bed found that his aim had been surely taken, the bul let having penetrated the heart of the asoassin. in this man he recognized the landlord of the inn Thus the dream was, in every respect, accomplish ed : and by attending to the n.yste-sous warning it conveyed. the traveller and escaped a dreadful fate and had execu ed a just retribution upon the mur derers. Some years after this. the accomplice- who had escape-1, was hconglit to ingtice, and hanged, for a murder committed by himself and his master, many years before. in the same house. At his death. he made an open confession, not only of the crime for m. hich he sphered, but also of his having assisted his master in his attempt to assassinate Colonel 8., from the commission of which act they had been so mysteriously and st) providentially prevented. The traveller himself reached home in safety, though in a maze of gratitude and won der; and, from t .at night. continued. as may be easily supposed, to the end of his days. a devout believer in dreams and visions of all species and .descrip:ions Ltruar.—Bad as may be the nature of man still the honor fur noble deeds, the respect for virtue, the abliorence for that which is ignoble or base will ever influence bodies of men when acting on first impulses.

Tire HeNGARIAN PEASANTeT.—There are few countries in which the hamlets are so cheerful in appearance as those of Hungary : the houses are externally cf the most scrupulous cleanliness; the whitewash is continually renewed, and the wind ow-frames are generally painted in bright green.— Tire doors are set deeply into the walls to throw oil the rain, which in those mountain districts pours down like an avalanche; and the receding arches being neatly formed, give a quaint and comforta ble look to the dwelling. A peep into the interior is equally promising ; the white or chintz curtains at the Windows, the coverings 'of the beds, and the cooking utensils are all bright and cleanly looking, but I never ventured on a closer examination; hav ing received a hint of caution not to be disregard ed, in seeing the maternal or fraternal care with which members of the same family, seated on the sunny side of their cottages, relieved each other after the Spanish, of certain uncomfortable colo nists.' The habitations of the German peasantry in these villages may generally be distinguished from those of the native Hungarians, from their convert ing the enclosures of their cottages into gardens, where gourds spread their golden fruit and broad green leaves over the fences, which are formed of w ithes neatly wrought in basket-work; and dahlias : son-flowers. and other gay-colored blossoms flaunt in the sunshine, interspersed with vegetables and fruit-trees ; while the yards of their neighbors are reserved as respectables for their agricultural im plements ; a small plot of griound beneath the windovifs being, however : in 'alrnos , every case, appropriated to a crop of tobacco, which produces a very pretty eflect with its long rich leaves, and white lily like blossoms. Although a considera ble quantity of tobacco, and that of very fine qual ity, is grown m Hungary, it is entirely in the hands of the peasants, and its culture demands too much care, and yields too small a return, to render it an object of speculation to the nobles. who, with their hemp, corn, and particularly wood, realize agrent er profit at a less expense of labor and outlay.— , The City of the Magyar.
