A STORY OF RMS. • Ems is a charrning..place, .It lies , abont twelve miles to the south-east of Coblenti, in the valley of the Lahu—that miniature Rhine; bordered with orchards and vineyards, and steep :wooded hills. Nothing can -be more . romantic than the situation of the town, which consists of one long irregular / line of h6tels . and - lodging-houses, with the mountains at tie baCkOhe river in frent, and lOngdouble rows of acacias arid linden,s planted!at each side of the carriage-way.. Swarms ofdonkeys, with gay ;''saddles, attended by drivers in 'blue blouses and scarlet trimmed caps, loiter be neath the trees, 'soliciting - hire. The Dttkeof Nassau's band plays alternate selections of Gerinan, Italian and French music in the pa vilion hi the public ~a rden. Fashionable in valids are promenading. Gaming is going * forward • busily in the Conversation-Hans alike daily and.nightljt. 'Ladies are reading novels and eating ices within-bearing- of the barid;. or go 4, with colored glass tumblers', in their bands, %towards the Kurhaus, . where the hot springs come bubbling up from their nauseous soirees down, in the low -vaulted galleries filled with bazaar-like shops, loting-' ers, touters, and health-seekers. All is pleas ure,lndolence, and flirtation. . • , 'o Ems, therefore, came the Herr Graff von Steinberg—or, 'as we shmild say, the Coimt Von . Steinberg—to drink the waters, Wit() N l tilk away . a few weeks 'of the- . sum mer seasitti. He was a tall, fair, handsome young nien • an eacellept specimen', of the GeiTnan• *dragoon. You -would neVer sup pose, to look at him, that anything of illness cenld be his inducement for visiting Ems ; an,d 'yet' he suffered: from two very 'serious miltules, both. Of which, it was to be feared, were incurable by any springs, medicinal or otherwise.. In a word; he was hopelessly; in , love, and desperately poor. The case was' this :—llis grandfather had. left. aiarge erty / which his .father, an irreclaimable gam-, bier, - had spent to the uttermost farthing.— The'Lyouth had been placed in the chiefly throughthe interest of a friend, His, father was now dead';'theinheritanee forever gone; and he had absolutely nothing beyond his pay as .a, captain of dragoons, and the dis tant prospect of oneday retiring with the ti tle and half pay of Major. A sorry future' for one who was disinterestedly- and deeply in love With one 'of the richest heiresses in Germany !. 'Who Marries my *4 - .latighter will receive with her a dowry of 200,000 - florins, and- I' shall expect her husbaq to possess, at least, an equal fortune.' So•said the Baron of HohendorP in cold, reply to the lover's timid declaration ; ,and with these words still sounding in his ears, weighing'on his spirits, and lying, by day and ~ nigt,r,t, heavily upon his heart, came the Count von,Steinberg, to seek forgetfulness, or, at least, temporary amusement, at the Brunnen of DO. But\in vain.. Pale 'and silent, he roamed restlessly to and fro upon the_ public promenades, or wandered away to hide his wretchedness in the forests and lonely valleys around the neighborhood of the town.- 1 , Sometimes he would mingle with the gay crowd in the Kurhaus, - and taste the bitter waters; somethnes linger mournfully round' the. tables of the gaining company-, gazing en- vionsly, yet with a kind of--virtuous horror; at the glittering heaps of gold and at the packets of 'crisp yellow notes which there daanged hand's- so swiftly and in such profu sion. But Albert you Steinberg was no gambler. He had seen and experienced the evil of that terrible vice too keenly already in his own father, to full a prey to it himself. Years ago he had vowed never to play ; and he had kept his oath, for no card-. had. 'ever , been touched by his hand. Even now, when' he found himself, as - it might happen now and then, looking on with some little interest at - the gains and losses of others, he would shud der, turn suddenly away,- and jaot return, again for days. Nothing could be more reg ular than his mode of lite. Iu the morning he, took the waters; at won he walked, or rend ; or wrote; in the evening he strolled, out again and heard. the band, and- -by . lhe time that all the society of the -place was _as sembled in the ball'room or at the tables, be, had-returned• to his'quiet lodgings, and, • per haps. already gone to bed, in order that he might rise early the next morning to Istudy some scientific work, or to take a 'pedestrian excursion to the ruins of some old castle with inthe limits'of a long walk. • was a dull life for a young man-espe cially with that sweet, sad- recollection , of :Emtna. von ilohendorfpe.rvading every tho't; and every moment of the'day. And alll be cause he was poor. Was poverty a crime, ha asked himself, that fie should be puniiihed for it thus! He had a great mind to threw himself off the rock where he was Standing—: Or to throve himself into the river,-if it were deep enough--otto go to' the Baron's ,ow n Castle, gate, and shoot:himself—
