NEW PUBLICATIONS.
A lady of Philadelphia, who lias a very
agreeable knack at rendering foreign idioms
into, idiomatic English, has introduced to
American readers a short French piece, which
preserves only enough of its pretty foreign
tang to be agreeable.
The “Gold Key” is a quiet little romance of
Jkmily life, tastefully translated from the
French. It is told partly in dramatic form,
partly in letters. The plot runs thus: Raoul, a
blase Parisian, lias espoused Susan, a country
heiress. The marriage on his part is a sad
farce; he has outlived liis illusions, and lie feels
confident that lie, his bride, and the fat priest
who unites them, have conspired in a shame
ful deception. Among the follies of courtship,
however, he had accepted from his intended a,
little gold charm, a key which unlocked her
bracelet; it is her silly fancy that lie only whom
she loved, and who loved her in return, should
undo the trinket. The marriage lias taken
■ place, hut the bracelet is still fastened.
In the explanations and , confidences
which follow, the gulf between tlie
married pair is revealed. Raoul lias accepted
burial in a provincial chateau, and feels himself
a victim and a sacrifice. Susan had calculated
on tlie development of a love .affair,’ which, in
the French system of matrimony, is more
likely to come after '.marriage tliah before.
Raoul,with despairing cruelty, assures her that
ifshe ever has her “grand passion” it will not
be from him. “Seek your romance: find it:
my vengeance waits upon your success.”
Susan, indignant and sorrowful, demands the
-key. The unfolding of the story shows-how
Susan’s fresli, unworldly graces, the sole inci
dents of their country life, gradually kindle in
vher idle lord an unexpected interest; and the
sight of these charms progressively unfolding,
-Stimulated by a little wholesome jealousy, con
verts the husband, to his astonishment, into,
the lover. The honest treason of the friend
who had? received his confidence precipitates
matters, and in the last scene the happy wife
makes her husband Hse the geftd key. Pub
lished by Lippincott & Co.
An anonymous “guest” of the Shakers at
Watervliet, X. Y., pretends that the family
have had spiritual manifestations in their
midst, and has written a pamphlet of tlie sor
riest revelations from tlie great men gone, in
every age and country. As the book flies over
to the waste-basket, it opens at the pages where
Shelley and Moore (!) are described as being
friends in the spirit-world, and where Shake
speare regrets that any but expurgated editions
of his writings are now issued. L. G. Thomas,
: of 1127 Sansom street, lias indulged in the pub
lication of this rubbishing little book.
Now that Artemus Ward is gone we prize
.lummore. His whimsical follies are recognized
in their way as a fresh genre in nonsense, as
good perhaps as that of Hood or Hook. Like
those humorists, Artemus does not breathe a
spirit of literary dust, such as gives the occult
and musty air to Charles Land), It is humor
©fthe new world, all virginalof the library and the
' College. Carleton publishes Ward’s “Pano
rama,” edited by his executors, and illustrated.
It was one of poor Artemus's-points to insist
on the badness of the picti(re which used to
roil its duty current like an irrelevant Missis
sippi through his lecture: if the painting was
as bad as the engravings are, it must have been
uuique, but somehow Lite humor of the thing
escapes us in the wood-cut form. The lecture
is really very dismal-comical, with the down
■waril tunis and inflexions of the speaker's voice
imitated 'sometimes in diminishing type. The
comments of poor Browne’s posthumous
friends, the editors, are often touching when
least meant to be so, as when the curling
tongs purchased by the lecturer,and detected in
his pocket, are defined as the results of a lever,
ivhicli had taken out much of liis hair and
necessitated the flourishing of the remainder to
the best advantage.
'J'his lively publisher hits, lately turned out a
hatch of attractive novels. A eonsidorably
loug one is devoted to the romantic history of
the throne of King David, at the time when
the revolt of -Absalom and the intrigues of the
family of Saul hail altered the simple theo
cratic government of the kingdom into a lic.t
-Work of plots and a field of romance. For his
heroine the author depicts a queenly but false .
Jewess , whose life of intrigue only leads her. to
the poisoned dagger and the assassin’s hand;
for such a character it was not a" bad thought
to select the name of “Athaliah,” wliicli gives
title to - the bodk, —antedating : the designa
tion of that ', other Athaliah, the
■wicked Queen of Judah, probably a
- daughterr-ofr-Jezebelr-whom —Racine —took-
jaa the heroine of liis famous tragedy, at a time
when tile formalism of Louis XIV. and the
Maintenoii necessitated a. religious tone for
the court and even for the theatre. The
writer of the present romance is Joseph H.
Greene, Jr., author of A!i-Albon, and he has
■ certainly succeeded in giving a new air of life
and reality to a long list of scriptural, perso
nages who are quite mummified in the tmder
standings of most people.—“ Warwick,” a sen
sational novel.isomewhat of the “Guy Living
- fiLip.e’t o)’dcr,.hy ‘‘MUn3h'eld Tracy Walworth”;
“Etlielyn’s, Mistake,” a quieter story by the
sweet-spirited Mary J. Holmes, opening among
Tillage scenes at the New England town of
k Chicopee; "The Cloud on the lleart,” a
ft'ltalc of American life ranging from the Potomac
■(shores to the forests of Illinois, by A. S. Hoe,
■juthor of quite a host of novels; and “Hilt
toHilt,” a romance of a stirring and
pungency; are some of the more recent,publica
tions of tlie enterprising cat'ercr.
. Nest week the same publisher will issue
Renan’s Saint Paul, now rapidly preparing by
the translators. It will .doubtless be more
popular than the intermediate “Apotres,” and
■will carry up the tide ©f public favor to the full
level of the “Jesus.” Renan has in this work,
as in the life of Christ, a personal subject, a
central figure, to which he will give, according
to his peculiar art, a more' than romantic" fasci
nation. We hope the map prepared by Renan,
a perfect monument of research, will be care
fully copied for the Americanedition.
Juvenile LiTEitATUBE. —In packing the
trunk for the sea-sliore we should not forget
■the claims of the children: a well-selected book
is a good sedative after romping, and would
often dispose happily of those forlorn, ennuyea
young folks who bother everybody on the
piazzas and the balconies.-; A number of nice
books are prepared by our Philadelphia pub
lishers:
Skelly & Co., 21 South Seventh street, pub
lish the history of a brave . little school-girl,
whose life-motto, “In Earnest;” gives title to the
book; Edith Palmer’s trials and foibles, her
.prayers for strength, and her subsequent life
of quiet usefulness, will be an incentive for
: many a 'dreaming little creature who wonders
if she' ought not to grow up a missionary
among the savages, or the foundress; of‘an
asylum, while the path of life-lies plain among
the fields of; home duty. In “Bertie and his
Friends,” a book received from the' same pub
lishers, we have a lesson on : the usefulness of
organized education among the outcasts of
society. A poor, boy, introduced as idling on
the steps of Old Trinity, is saved, taught', and
prepared for being invited, just'as the curtain
falls, to family and friends among the ricli.r— ,
Messrs. Skelly & Co. put out their juvenile
literature with gi-eat taste and neatness.
An excellent religious story;' republished from
the repertoiy bfctlie London Tract Society, is
issued by the American Sunday School Union,
of this city. It delineates the life and early
death of a little French Protestant, Louis
Michaud, illustrating the adage, “eyen a child
is known by liis doings;” several very fair en
gravings embellish the work. “Olive’s World,”
the designation of another neat little volume,
appears to be a. confined and humble world at
best, but Olive’s improvement among her nar
row temptations, and her influence on her
sailor brother,'hold up a useful example to
small folks in any walk of life. These hooks
come to us from Hie Union, firmly sewed, very
clearly printed, and attractively dressed in
green and red.
James S. Claxton, 1214 Chestnut street, is
sues among his juvenile publications the history
of a young farm-laborer, under the title of
“Wishing and Seeking;” the delineation of a
Christian life among the dull routine and
homely temptations of country labor is /not
without a certain originality.—“ Little Meg’s
Children” tells how a capable infant manages
to be father and mother to her motherless
family in the absence of the real paternal
guardian; the character reminds one of that
pretty picture of “Charley,”, the child of the
constable Coavinses, in “Bleak House.” These
are cheap yet pretty volumes.
The Presbyterian Publication Committee,
1334 Chestnut street, issue a duodecimo of
more than ordinary interest for juveniles and
their elders, being a lifelike picture of society
in the south of India, evidently written by a
resident. The. book is named from its hero,
“Captain Waltham,” and the epoch is before
the Sepoy mutiny. The illustrations, by Da
venport, are, like the text, true to Indian life.
—Anything from the graphic pen that imparted
so much information about a singular class as
is contained in the'“Story of a' Chinese Boy,”
and the “Cliiniunan in California,” is wel
come. There is the oriental element, again,
in “The Lost Father,” the tale of a Philadel
phia hoy who goes to California. Some spir
ited engravings recommend the work. Neddy
Carroll is a real boy, and the life and manners
of the story, whether on the eastern or Pacific
shore, are real life and manners. These two
books are rather conspicuous for their origi
nality and want of that sad, stale, bookmaking
flavor which hangs around much of the husky
literature flung out to the young.
The Alcazar of Seville.
“Sunset” Cox, writing from Seville to the
New York li'orM, says:
I havotmuch to do to keep my pen from a
premature description of the Alcazar, or house
of Ciesar. It is on the site of the Roman
.pra'tor. It was built for a Moorish king, but
lias been so altered—so gotliilied, or modern
ized—tlie ceilings have been so renewed, and so
much lias been added by the Spanish kings and
queens, that it is hard to tell which is the Moor
ish work and which is its reproduction. Here
Charles V. was married. Here the Philips in
troduced the royal portraits into the building,
fishes into the ponds, new tropical i trees into
the gardens, and fresh ' fountains
through all the walks. The palace
has been whitewashed, and'the aqueducts in
jured, hut much lias been recently restored.
The grandest hall is that - of the ambassadors.
It is in the grand what the Alhambra is in
petite. We are pointed out where Peter the
Cruel shot his brother; also, a painting of four
skulls where he hiuig four venal judges. Peter
deserved his name, lie was in the habit of
murdering almost anybody. When he could
find no one handy lie selected a few rich Jews,
and burned them to keep his .hand in. When
lie took a fancy to a young lady, and she jilted
him, he burned her to a cinder. Only one
lady, whose portrait, is preserved in the Alcazar
—the beauteous Maria de Padilla (see the
opera)—ruled this monster. How she did it
no one knows. -
Never was 'there.a more beautiful domain
than this Alcazar. The palate is made alter the
similitude of the Alliambriis, but it is far move.
extensive. 1 lie gardens are the most beauti
ful in Europe. Orange, box, and myrtle form
the walls. Labyrinths, coats of arms, and
other ipiaint devices and shapes, appear in the
dipt vegetation. All through the l'airy realm
the odor of the asaliar fills the air. In the
lower garden is an azulejo—a doomed Moorish
kiosk. Under the palace are gloomy apart
ments, once used as bathing rooms and prisons.
Here we found the relics of the Roman days
lying loosely around. In the terrace of the
palace, above the gardens—you.may wander in
and out—into the Alhambra-tinted rooms, and
out on the balconies into the fragrant air.
Wbeii it is ail through, you may wonder aUhn.
jumble of architecture aiid civilizations—won
der wliat all this was meant for, who paid for
it, Why Peter the Cruel ever lived) and pay four
reals to the.porter as the consideration of your
thoughts.

“Bravo?” lit the conclusion of tho chants in

AKT ITEMS.
The Paris Exhibition of tine Arts closed on
the 20th ult.,-with the edat' Of an enormous
crowd of a hundred, thousand persons. .We
have heard a gratifying account of the contri
bution' of ’the Philadelphia^^
formerly Curator at tire Academy
here. This painting,' Which “ '
sented a girl reading a love-letter, was hung in
a place of honor, level yvith the eye, and 4n tjie j
centre of a wall; the situation speaks volumes
for the high estimate of the hanging cOmmittee.
Mr. Wylie lias been a peculiar paiiiter, studying
hard and finishing little/ for- a' long course - of
years. His fastidious taste lias been the
enemy of his public notoriety, and the guardian
of his private advancement. The picture in
question, we learn, rather narrowly escaped a
medal. One in about a thousand contributions
is medalled, and it was too much to expect that
the honor would he awarded to a foreign con
tribution; unless of uncommon subject, size and
distinction. The French Catalogue, iis we be
lieve we have mentioned, gave credit to the
Pennsylvania Academy as the school in which
Mr. Wylie studied. Mr. W. still paints in an
obscure Breton village, unless when visiting
Paris on business.
Howard' Roberts, sculptor, reported himself
to liis friends last week alter a three years’ so
journ in Paris. His teachers have been Gimiery,
Dumont, and a third preceptor, formerly pupil
of the latter,engaged for practical instruction in
chiseling. He brmgs some busts, one of
them copied in terra-cotta,. a material little
known here in the expression of the higher
kind of art. His improvement under a sys
tematic training has been .marked. We shall
expect some advanced work from his chisel.
Lewis has. gone away, E. Moran is off, and
the liegira of our landscape painters may he said
to threaten tlie form of a panic.
Why go so far, Messieurs, in jsearcli of what
nature has prepared almost at your doors?
The ideal, which you think can only he pur
sued in a steam-car, can be reached in a horse
ear quite as certainly and much more conve
niently. There is nothing better in America
than the Park. It contains “bits” as fine as
anything at Fontainebleau, and it has the
charm of water scenery, which Fontainebleau
lacks. Yet Fontainebleau is dotted with
artists like mushrooms. We should like to
see, in ascending Landsdowne Drive, the white
umbrella of the paysagiste upon every high
place and under every green tree, and the
priest of nature prophesying under it on his
portable tripod.
The only artist who seems to have “found
out” the Park is Fehnimore. One of his best
pictures in the Spring Exhibition was an after
noon study of this reach of the Schuylkill, the
result of fifteen visits to the spot. His studio
is lined with other views stolen from among
the old ancestral trees of Landsdowne and
Egglesfield,and the majesty of the tree-forms and
the park-character of the glades are very strik
ing in these selections. Fennimore’s art is dis
tinguished by a sense of color and quality, and
knowledge of effect, very creditable to so young
a man. To his youth, too, belongs his fe
cundity and the exuberance with which he
throws himself away. At his present period
every picture is a fresh study, arrived at after
hard toil and the travail of invention; for each
the angel of art, as it were, has been wrestled
with and his blessing forced. An older and
more worldly man will have learned to spare
himself. Artists whose fame is assured are
chary of troubling themselves so far as to in
vent; the brain, though Opie said he mixed his
colors with it, becomes tougher and dryer with
time, and is not so willing to be squeezed
out upon the palette. In youth the artist opens
both fists, and gives to a thankless public. In
age, lie opens one finger, and tlie public falls on
its knees for tlie boon.

turned tho point of every tool. Disappointed here, they
now attempted to dissect the safe, and endeavored to

credit, that, had they even succeeded in getting through
tho outer casing or shell of the safe*, which they did not
do, threeniore thicknesses of metal still remained; and

more trouble than tho single one by w hich they were'so
completely foiled.

FAILURE OF THE BU7USLAHS—THEY COULD NOT MULL
THE SPIEGEL-RISKS'.
Kent, Ohio, November 17,18 Gd.
To Messrs. Herring. Parrel ft Sherman. New York:
On Saturday evening, the 3d of November, our bunk
was entered by burglars. The office of the bank beiug
w ithout an oceupant, they hud undisputed possession,
ami, I have no doubt, employed their time uninterrupt
edly till morning, in efforts to reach the treasure of the
bank. But, thniiKH to tho protection afforded by one of
your Burglar-proof Safes, which on this occasion proved
to bo impregnable, they were foiled.
Tho outside, or fire-proof door of the safe was drilled
ami blown open. They then commenced on the bnrglnr
proof, and after knocking ofl tho dial of the lock and
knob that throws |ha bolts, they attempted to drive the
lock otl, but without success; they also used wedges and
a heavy sledge, butdniled in all. They left behind them
a large assortment of tools, consisting of two crowbars,
a heavy sledge, wooden mullet, two steel wedges, and
a variety ofcnisels.
Having occasion to be at my office (which is connected,
with the bank) at about 11 o’clock A. M. on Sunday, 1
made the discovery of tho aforesaid visitation and fuilure
to open tho burglar-proof part of the safe, although they
had knocked oil the dial-plate to tho lock, and othorwise
disfigured and abused tho safe, which prevented any one
but a skilful operator or a practical manufacturer of
sales ami locks to open the sufe.
The necessities of die case Avore plainly presented, and
we lost no time in despatching an agent to Cleveland to
procure a proper person to.-open our safe. Calling at
your agency, no suilablo person was found. Wo thou
applied to another house in the safe business, who very
kindly furnished us a practical manufacturer of safes, a
ficrson who understood tho science and manufacture of
ocks dml safes to perfection.

Ainpwfthe incidents of the Fourth in Buf
falo was a balloon ascension by a Mr. King,
accompanied, as will be seen by the following
account from the Courier, by two members
of the local press and two Bostonians:
Tlie inflation of the monster balloon “Hype
rion” commenced at noon in the Terrace
park, adjoining the place in which the exer
cises were held, and attracted more or less
attention as it became distended by the gas
which poured into it from one of the main
pipes. Before three o’clock thousands con
! gregatcd- in the - vicinity, and the pressure
became so .great that it required lull halt
the police, forco of the city to keep the
surging mass •utside the fence and
ropes wliicli surrounded the monster. Very
good order was preserved, however, and as the
hour approached for the departure of the “Hy
perion” on her etlierial voyage, Mr. King, the
aeronaut, sent up a number of miniature bal
loons of humorous devices, each one of which
was wafted sky-ward by exclamations made up
of capital O’s from thousands of voices. The
balloons represented the fat man, the lager
beer drinker, the Grecian bender, the elepliant,
the horse, the turtle and other subjects,
and were richly enjoyed. The work of tilling
the “Hvperion,” arranging the ballast, stowing
away the cargo, &c., was supervised by Mr.
King himself, who showed that coolness of
itianner and that skill in handling his complica
ted machine which argued the scientific aero
naut. At fifteen minutes after four o’clock,
everything being in readiness, the fastenings
were cutaway 'and'the balloon ascended slowly
and gracefully, bearing with it as
Mr. Samuel A. King, the aeronout; Luther L.
Holden, of the Boston Journal; Hemy K. Ap
, pleton, of Boston:; .James Albro of the
‘ Commercial, and W. T. Chester of the
Courier. The balloon had been gener
ously supplied with previsions from the lard
ers of Louis Bapst, Bloomer, Macnamara &
Woolford, Mr. Jebb and others, . and there
was not the remotest ’prospect of starvation
when the party moved toward the celestiid re
gions.
Wliat befell ithe voyagers is related as fol
lows by Mr. 'Chester m .a despatch to the
Courier: .••■■■
Wahiien, Ba.,.July >6. —We .left Buftalo at
4.15 o’clock, P. M.,.and ascended,perpendicu-
Jarlyt about'three-quarters of a mile, and then
drifted out-over the bay .and .lake. The view
of the city and country was grand and beauti
ful. We exchanged, signals with a tug in the
~ lake beneath tis. ; Whereat an altitude of 3,500
feet xwe could see the people in the streets,
looking like pigmies, arid oould also distinguish
the spray of .Niagara Falls with the naked eye.
About twelve minutes to 5 o’clock we cut loose
the drag-rope, which was coiled, around tlie car.
It created,afearful sound,.and not being pro
perly . secured to tbe car .dropped into the lake
arid .was lost. About twenty-five minutes
past five, being half a anile high, we com
menced descending with great vapidity, and
landed ' in the water ip a minute and
.a half. All,seined the rope and' pressed upon
the. sides of tlie.car. All the provisions got wet
" and were partially spoiled. Threw out a small
apTsiriflty dfbidipbarid’asceiidecl‘'agntn.'''' Abontr
twenty minutes to .<!• again descended with
great velocity, aipl again found ourselves in the
lake, but quickly rose again with the loss of a
bag of sand. About eight minutes to six: had
readied a great altitude,-and
thebeach,agoodbreezeblowing—couldsce
several villagere,a«dpasBedvlSig3tteen.-MHe creek
at ten minutes past six, traveling, Mr. King
thought, thirty miles an hour,at least. In a fevv
lhihutes we bad reached an altitude of two
miles; it became hazy and we: Widd no longer
gee Buffalo. At twelve minutes afterO we passed
almost over Eden, and heard the people shout
ing and dogs barking. All'hands felt exceed
ingly jolly. The balloon commenced to descend,
and shouts of “come down and we will take you
back to Buffalo” were heard. Gave three cheers
and a tiger for Eden. Bose again and passed
lengthwise over a piece of woods. About
twenty minutes to seven We neared' the earth
and threw out the anchor arid descended in an
oat-field. The people came out and helped to
hold the anchor, and we finally touched the
ground in an adjoining cornfield. About ten
minutes past seven we rose from. Eden amid,
the cheering ofa crowd of about one hundred
persons. The ballast was thrown overboard
freely, and iH two minutes time we rose to the
height of one mile and a half. At this height
the cohl became intense, and overcoats were
brought into requisition. Our course was
nearly due south. We passed over. Collins;
and other villages, in several of which dis
plays of fireworks could be seen. At
four minutes of eight o’clock the gas com
menced coming ■ out of the bottom- of the
balloon, a sign that an elevation of two miles,
had been reached, and for the first time Mr.

scent on the homeward side was spoken of but
the aeronaut decided’to sail over tliem. The
balloon descended very nearly to the tree-tops,
but the last bag of ballast was taken in hand
and judicious use of its contents carried us over,
From this point it began to-grow dark. The
country was heavily wooded, and whenever the
earth was approached the fotbidding tree tops
were underneath and it Was necessary to rise
again, to accomplish which the boards from the
bottom of the car were ripped up and thrown
overboard. The course continued over the
interminable forests of Cattaraugus county,
though it was impossible to judge in which di
rection we were drifting. Shortly before 11
o’clock, we drew near a mountain top, and not
having sufficient buoyancy to clear the tree tops,
went crashing through them in a manner more
dashing than pleasant. Mr. King, seeing that a
descent was inevitable, as nearly all the ballast
was gone, dropped anchor a few minutes after-
at precisely lto’dock rebounded,and
it caught in what proved to be the top of a pine
tree, nearly one hundred feet high. The
anchor-rope let down the balloon about fifty
feet, and a line dropped, showed that the party
was at that distance from the ground, sus
pended there between heaven and earth. The
hours of night were watched out, and shortly
after daylight, at twenty minutes past 5 A. M.,
the anchor-rope was out and the Hyperion
came down by the run, landing the party with
out a bruise; but the balloon was ripped into
shreds by the branches of the pine.. Investi
gation showed tliat the night had been spent
anchored to the tallest tree of Bock Robbie, the
highest span of the Allcghanies, in McKean or
Warren county, Pennsylvania, a point about
fourteen miles southeast of Warren, and
seventy-five miles nearly due south of Buffalo.
Chester.
The Death of Mendelssohn.
On, the 7th of October,' 1847, Mendelssohn
composed that sweet, profoundly melancholy
“Spring Song,” the last veree of which runs:
“ Idol *f my iuuost heart!
Life for me is oodleas sorrow—
Blackest night without a morrow—
. For thou anti I must part.”
He then pushed aside the still wet page, and,
starting up, said hastily ; “Enough! Don’t be
uneasy, Cecile, any longer; 1 really mean to
write no more, and to rest awhile p?
Two days afterward Mendelssohn brought
his newest book of songs to his musical friend,
Frau Livia Frege, who: was In the habit of see
ing him so often come into her house with a
score under his arm, and singing the half
finished piece to him at sight. On this occa
sion she was to sing for him the “NacirtHed.”
They first tried over sonie portions of “St.
Paid,” and different songs. Mendelssohn’s ex
cessive nervous irritability had for some time
past been very striking, whether in listening to
music or in playing himself. - His. face changed,
and he became very pale. Indeed he avoided
all large musical gatherings, and repeatedly de
clared that “the highest delight, and the highest
of all enjoyments, is in reality music among a
few friends—at most, a quartet of congenial
spirits. At prcseul I care for nothing beyond
this.”
On the day in question, Mendelssohn had
played a great deal the same morning with,
Moselieles and David, and to Iris anxiepsS
fr iend, Frau L. Frege, lie appeared weary and
exhausted. When at last she sang the follow
ing lines,
“Time marches on by night aa well as by day. .
And many march by night who fain would stay,
Mendelssohn said, with a shudder, “Oh! that
liasji dreary sound, hut it is just what I feel!”
lie then suddenly rose, as pale as death, and
paced the room hurriedly, complaining that his
hands were as cold as ice. To Frau Livia
Frege’s anxious entreaty to drive straight home
and send fora doctor, he answered with a smile
that a good quick walk would be of greater
service to him, and took leave of her.
lie, however, gave up his intention of
taking a walk, and went straight
home; hut in the evening he was similarly af
fected, and obliged to remain in bed for some
davs. This attack of debility seemed to have
passed away, and Mendelssohn again received
visits from his ultimate friends; indeed, on Oc
tober 28, he took a short walk with his wife,
and was tolerably well and in good spirits, at
dinner. In the afternoon, to the consternation
of Ills family, he was seized with a, sudden,
deep swoon.' The physician could not dissem
ble his alarm at this attack of illness; his case
was soon hopeless, for a paralytic stroke en
sued. Mendelssohn lay for a long time insen
sible; and when he once more recovered ’con
sciousness, he continued in an apathetic state,
only complaining at intervals of iusupportable
pains in his head.
The intelligence of the danger that threat
ened this precious life spread like wildfire
through the city; it was as if some beloved
king had been in peril; crowds of anxious in
quirers besieged the well-known ( house in the
Konigsstrasse, anxiously hoping for a better
report. On every side were seen sorrowing
faces and sympathizing inquirers. And within,
in the darkehed sick room, the mortal frame of
one Of the noblest of men was undergoing the
last great struggle, surrounded by faithful
friends, in the arms- of inconsolable but self
sacrificing love; arid, at nine o’clock at night, on
the 4th November, 1847, the hand of the angel
of death wrote underneath the book of life of
him Who had gone_to_liis_rcst his hallowed
Fixe. —Reminiscences of Mendelssohn.
—Dr. Ehngreon has shown that in twenty
