Long ago—how many years since I do not like to think of, but it was when' I was a youug man aridjust beginning the world—l-took - de-' light in being a book-fancier: not, a biblioma niac,'as the profane have it, but an ardent, eager bibliophilist, gathering together volumes from the ends of the earth. The famous col lection at Donninghnrst attests pretty well the extent .of my-‘ labors in this vineyard. Ar rayed in snowy vellum raiment, or in' old tooled esuf, or, better still, in ancient French morocco, they line these shelves oftnine in the oak-room, and are still the admiration—perhaps the envy —ot the enrions. ,;Nqw that the fit has, passed from t me,'l-look on them as so many memo rials of an old folly, and find myself’ gazing at them curiously, as a lover might do at the fa ded writings of an unworthy mistrcssl.'Uow I came to forswear this seductive 'pursuit. and flee forever llrom the temples of Christie, and Sothdby, and stich famous brethren of tho ham mer, I will now try and sot forth, as some en tertainment for this passing hour. 1 ' When Ore t went down to Donninghurst, which was just after leaving Oxford, this book fever, as it mav be called, was'vety'strong upon me, and I, took exceeding/.delight lti ar ranging and cataloguing tho contents of cer tain great chests which had comti down-'to mo from'London. And now, before gping further, I may say a word concerning 'Donttingburst itself. It was nothing more than a sihall vil- quiet, retired, innocent little village of the Auburn kind, lying in a sheltered valley ikr from the busy hum of men. To look down from the brow of . tho hill'upon the' ancient church disguised in ivy, green and" brown j upon the little bridge over the brOok Avlsich divided the village; upon the noisy water-mill, the tiers of snowy cottages'sloping down to the water’s edge; this was a pleasant and fit recreation for any contemplative mah/and was as fa|r> prospect. as could be seen upon a long summer’s day " . ’ . : - Naturally enough, I had a great likidg for Donuinghurat, and were, it not for the utter dearth of all congenial society—that is, of bibliophilist brethren—l should have pitched myjent there for good and all. True, there was tbe.parson, who is, traditionally supposed to be ardent in such matters; but who in our instance happened unfortunately tobe a placid easy man, Ml-of . soft words, and with little schdiiirsbip beyond, his Bible; in Short a .smooth shaven respectability, as - Mr. Carlyle' would phrase it. I did not, therefore, ’ grieve very much when I heard, on my second visit, that this reverend person had passed, away to a brighter, sphere—to a wealthier parish that is—* and ■ that Doctor Erasmus Ashmole, F.K.S., Correa. Mem., &c., &c., had been appointed in bis place. This was joyful news for me. In those mystic characters I saw wondrous vis sions shadowed forth : long Attic nights, ear nest disputations, eager criticism, unique and matchless oxamplars. Soon my card found its way to the vicarage, and within a very brief span I .found myself in the full enjoyment of his friendship. 1 found him a fierce rude schol ar of the true Bently sohoOl—a man that cal led you Sirin loud tones, after tho Johnsonian manner—wi th a way of beating the table sav agely in the warmth of argument. > Ail the gol den visions I had read in the cabalistic letters were realized to, the full. He bod brought down a matchless collection—whole regiments ofEdltionesPrincipes; camel-looking Fathers, clean and unsullied with virgin pages; Bellon disls, Variorumß, Aldiries, all in, Snperb'con dition and original bindings. Elzevirs,-too, Were them, not to speak of Flantins,, Jansens, Baakervilles, Tonsons, and other famous Im printers. There,were also'strange block let ter volumes —creatures in ponderous oak cov ert, with rude metal fittings. And, last of ail, he had brought down with him an exquisite copy flom Nature's own press, printed in the fittreSt'characterS, one unique ahd' beyond all-, price; in short,no. other than his own fair daughter, sweet Miss Lizzie Ashmole; - She was abright little creature, with a beam ing thee and dark 'brilliant' eyes, with arched; pencilled eyebrows and soft wavy hair worn ala Greque, ' which 1 was told fell nearly to' her feet. Indeed, the other day when X went, to see. a famous Little Lady at one. of our great theatres, I was perfectly startled at the likeness. No wonder, then, that Doctor Eras mus loved her/if anything, better, than his hooks. From long habit, too, she hod caught op some odds and ends of biblographlcal doc trine, uponwhich she used to discourse very gracefully; and it was very pleasant to see her striving hud to feel doe reverence forthe dus ty inhabitants of the doctor's study. She had, •besides, a tinge of romanticism, very refresh ing in these flinty days of ours, and was filled with a kind of buoyant earnest faith, which she was not long in communicating to others—de lighting, moreover, in rehearsing ghostly nar rative and spectral appearances. This she did. so prettily, and 'so mysteriously, that I, before a scoffer and unbeliever, came at last to teel uneasy of bights; and rather shrank from the idea of going up stairs in the dark. In short, to this complexion it come at last, as indeed it was Only to be expected—that the Attic' nights with the doctor grew to be . insuf ferably dull, and the doctor himself,'and, the Johnsonian manner something of a bore. I soon began to see a deal of truth in that pas sage of the ingenious Mr. Little, where he in forms tis that his only hooks were womanls looks. What If jie had seen the precious, lit tle volume always open before me, and which I took such wondrous delight in perusing!, I felt the Poisoned Arrow with the Golden Shaft smarting more keenly every day. In brief, I found myself one morning asking tho Reverend Erasmus for a few moments’ conversation, at thd conclusion of which I received a.'paternal accolade and numberless benedictions. Then was sweet Lizzie sent for, who came in blush* tnginbst'bewitcjiingly, 'as though she had « faint suspicion of what was going on. After a month’s interval, during which time I con ceived ’an utter disgust for all things of leavds and parchment,* the usual ceremony took place, and the happy pair departed for London - cn route for foreign parts, as was only proper. , - During the happy days that followed, I nevir' once thought of Elzevir of Aldino—never felt the least yearning towards my old objects of affection, until—yea,'until we came to the an cient city,of Brbges. No hutrian virtue could have withstood that seductive town. -We hod been admiring Its halls, churches, paintings, earrings, bits of Gothie, ail day long, and were returning pretty well tired to our hostel ry, when we suddenly found ourselves before one of those picturesque little'/ alleys wherein this city abounds. “01” said sweet Lizzie, “how like a Turkish bazaar!' IVo must walk down—just once.” With,,a gentle remons trance, as though I had a presentiment of what was impending, I suffered myself to ba led into the fhtal street, and was utterly ravished, as the French say, with all I saw. Dark, mon strosities carved out el* oak, ancient china, nr qnebnsses, vestments of rich stuffs, Biiver sta tues, bits of Btainod glass, and Heaven knows what hesidfii, wore'gathered there, 1 tempting sweet Lizzie to the very verge of 'distraction;' while I—my hour had como at last—was irre sistibly drawn to some qiminVßj [elves crowded with old tomes in the livery that was so fami liar to me. With the first glance I saw they Were of a superior order, doubtless noble' ex* ites from some rich library in the Fauborg, bearing on their hacks the insignia of their haughty masters. I took one in my hand, and as Idid ‘to felt a queer sensation coming over me. They were bound, in tliat famous old red morocco; and there was, besides, a second series;arrayed in rich mottled Calf—altogether a very choice anititempting lot. X was back - under the bid dominion is a moment.' “lioolc ther , . “Impossible.” !"• V “ What |” said Lizzie, with a, little Bigli, “ couldn’t you spare me that mnch out of aU I saw in your desk yesterday;?” ' I blushed scarlet, not from shame, but from rage at being, detected. “A spy!”! exclaim ed, in aporfcct fury; “a spy upon my actions! I hate such moan tricks. Bnt,”l added, turning sharp upon hor with a feeling that I must put a stop to this work, “I won’t tolerate this interference; I’m not to bo brought to an account for the little money I lay out on my self. Such low, mean prying! But money must be had for all your finery—of course, of course,” and moro to tho same effect, which it chills my voty heart to dwell on now. • My only hope ana consolation is that I was beside myself all that time. Poor Lizzie listened to me, perfectly overwhelmed, and trembling like an aspen leaf. She never answered me, but sank down upon tho sofa without a word. 1 I left bey, ihinklng I had given 4 wholesome lesson; - dud Walked out of the house in a proper state of indignation. But tho Chronicle—tho ■ famous Chroniclo. X had utterly forgotten it. . I folt. a cold thrill all over me as I took oat triywatcil. Just two o’clock,' I flew Into a cab, and sat oft' at a headlong pace'for Sotheby’s. But my fatal presentiment was to be verified., It was over; I was too Iste. The great Chronicle, the choice, the bcautlftil, the-unique, had passed from me forever, and beyond recall, and, as I afterwards, learned, fur the ridiculous sum of nineteen pounds odd shillings. - Andwlio.waa I to thank, for this—this cruel prostration of all: my-hopes? Here was the prize torn from me, .Jogt by a min ute’s delay, and all for a wpmah’s absunl whim and caprice.: By Heaven, it was - Chough to drive me distracted. But no matter; when I get homp I would givo her a’piece ofntyttlHd. I would be masterln rny own house. Lashing myself thus into a rage, ! strode moodily; tftlo the; house, and, made- my way straight to. ihts drawing-room ’ There I burst Into a eaialogue ot aU ray grieft, minded with a torrent of re; preaches. She hadwjnfed an' rtfi ponunlty. would .fiZyisf 'dome again; Inever would fotget it to her. Biit.let her take warn ing 1» time,; I Would put bp with' this kind of interference no longer. Poor.LiZZle listened- Jrat with' aatom'shiueqtj but, as she began to : understand toe, I saw her bright eyes flashing. ih » way I. had never seenbefore. “And so,” nhesald, hervoieetremblingwUh excitement, ‘• tbis wiw why you relhsed me the little sum .ii'-Ve ; •> 'W U.\ ■' A V PllK.'f >. i I For shame 1 I could po’t have' be lieved-you so cruel—yes, so selfish. But I ought to have known this before; kind friends told me that this would * come' to pass—that you would/sacrifice mb'to - tips wretched 1 pas* sion.” Again my iioart smoto mo, and I felt a long ing to Sink down before her and beg farglve ness; but , at tho same instant I heard some ttiing.whispering secretly in' my ear that sho if Was who had lost me my pfeeious treasure. On this.l, froze again in a moment. What right.had she, to bold this tone to me J I asked. ,1 was sickened and repelled; I said, with her coldness and want of interest In all that con cerned. me.' Then Lizzie, raising herself up from her sofa, and her eyes flashing more than lever, said she would speak now, for my sake as well as her own; that as to my unkindness and neglect, that was not so much matterr she would try and bear it—she would got ac customed to it; she supposed; but that I was ikst ruining myself, making myself a laughing stock to ovory ono. It was a pity we had ever come together. . “Yos,”l said, bitterly, “it was a pity, a great pity, I did not meet one more suited to my,tastes—one that might have made somo allowance, at least, for any old habits and asso ciations. But it was no use talking about it now; it was too late.’’ - With that I hastily turned away; and, feeling'that I had been ag grieved, retreated to ay study, lull of bitter ness and disappointment. Was there over anything so unreasonable ? And, instead of showing somo sorrow for causing me such a disappointment, to turn round and heard me in this manner. A laughing-stock! Those words grated unpleasantly on my ear as I thought them over. I felt an envenomed sen sation against poor Lizzie, which I cannot de scribe. ; And how long was this to go on ? (I put this question to myself, sitting among the dark gloomy shadows of my,study.) Were all my studies to be broken in upon with cold looks and harsh words ? Was I to have my chief hope and comfort in life embittered 1 An idea 'struck me. In a day or so I should have to go down to Downinghurst'on business. Suppose I went that very evening instead J I would be there in an hour or so, and could return to morrow if it suited mo. Hero wns a ready moans of release offered, mo. I could with draw myself for a little from London, which I had begun to hate, and from homo, -which was growing distasteful to me. It would be a pleasant change of scene; and I felt, besides, a craving for solitude and the companionship of my booksl I longed for a quiet evening in my-little study, many miles removed from un kinpness and domestic bickerings. So all these things then appeared to my distorted vision., ' It seemed a rare scheme; and so I lost no .tlrno in executing, it. X packed up a few things, and telling Lizzie, coldly enough, that I Mfould most,likely return early in tho morn ing; departed by tliat night’s train. 'About seven o’clock tnat evening we caine rolling into Donninghurst. It was a raw, bleak night, with a harsh; black frost abroad; not your true, genial, ■ inspiring weather, covering the ground with crisp snow, and making the cheeks tingle; but a dark, low ering atmosphere, very dispiriting and op pressivc. Therefore it was that I felt very uncomfortable and out of sorts as I stood' in the cold, comfbrtless study, watching the s|ow process of kindling a fire. No one had expected me on such a night—naturally enough —so I found everything cold and desolate. There was an ancient retainer always left in charge of the house, whom I took a dis mal pleasure in likening to, Caleb Balder stone, in the novel. His queer ways and curi ous make shifts in providing for the emergency, were so many occasions of identi fying myself with the unhappy Master of Ra venswood and his follower. At last a fire was lighted, and I settled rnysolf down for the night. What, should I have down, I said, looking round affectionately on tho shelves.— Old Fuller ?—None better—Old Fuller, by all means. I got him down reverently and cleared theldust from him gently. I wasgoing to have anight of enjoyment. When he was properly bestowed upon tho oaken reading-desk, and the lamp had been turned up to the full, and ono last poke given to lee fire, I felt that I hod all the elemonts of a studious night at hand, and that I ought to bo exceedingly pleasant and comfortable. Yet someway Good Old Fuller soemed to me not quite so racy, that night. I felt inexpressibly lonely, and every now and again I heard tho wind, which had begun to rise, coming round .the oorner With a low moan, which gave me a very dismal feeling. Do as I would, I could noij shut out Caleb Balderstone. Then, too, I fouhdmy eyes were perpetually wandering from Good Old Fuller to tho coals, whoro I would discover all manner of distracting visions. ‘lt certainly was a noble edition—that Chro nicle, said I, reverting to the events of the day—a noble one, truly. O; how could she have lot me miss itl And yet who knows 1 I might fall in with another copy some of these da Vs! But then she hod no need to speak to me] in that way;—to ridicule mo—to 'reproach met No matter about that now—to business. With tliat, I came back again to old Fuller— for about a page and a half .of him, as ft might be.] It was very singular; I could not lay myself down to work. I grew annoyed—vexed. Impitiently I pushed the Ancient Worthy far from me, and leaning back in my chair fell to studying the fire once more—watching tho wreaths of smoko curling upwards, every now and then taking the shape of n bright, gentle little face that seemed to look at me reproach fully. Alone, here, in- this desolate spot—alone witfi Old Fuller nnd his brethren. And these false slaveß to whom I had bound my self and sacrificed all, wore now deserting me when I most needed their assistance. I likened them, bitterly, to tho Familiars in tire, old Magic Legends , who treacherously abandoned their masters in their greatest straits. And ,Lkszte (sweet Lizzie sho was ondel) all alono in the great London world, keeping her lonely vigil 1 Just then there came up before me, as it were, floating from tho past, a vision of another time—not so long passed away—coming to mo, as it wore, in a flood of ‘golden light, wherein Old Fuller appeared to shrivel up, and shrink away iutb a dry, sapless ancient, as he was. It was on a clear moonlight night—l well recollected—with tho ground all covered with snow, and I was coming out be neath the vlcarage-porCh, going homo for that night—when she, sweet Lizzie, came out into the moonliglit, and we lingered therefor a few moments, looking round and admiring the scene. Such a soft, tranquil night, with a bright glare shining forth from tho midst of the dark mass rising behind us, showing where the Doc tor was hard at work in his room. I often tholight of that night after, and of tho picture of Lizzie; as she stood there with her face upturn ed lo the mo6n. Conjuring up this vision from the/ fire, and-recalling her mournftd, subdued face, as she lay upon tho sofa, whon I so abrupt ly quitted her, I felt a bitter pang of self-re proach, and found my repugnance for tho cold, senseless creatures around me increasing every instant. After that there came a feeling over me that I Had been sitting there for hours—for long weary, hours, and that morning would nover come. Suddenly it seemed to mo that I heard tlie sounds of wheels outside on the gravel, with strange confusion as of many tongues, mid that some one came rushing in hurriedly, seeking mo, and telling mo I must lose no time—not an instant. I knew by a kind of in etlUct what it was ail about, and why it was I was thus brought away. There was a heavy load upon my heart, as ot some evil impending, some dreadlhl blow about to fall. Thoh came tho long, hurried journey through the dark night—tho rattle over the pavement, and the flittering of lights, paßt the window, as we drew near tho noisy city. Then was I led up-stairs softly in : a darkened room—tho ; drawing-room, •where many people crowded together, and whispering. And there on tho sofa, just as I had left her, I caught a dim vision of sweet Lizzie—very pale and sad—witli the: same gentle look of reproach. I heard theotd soft voice, full of affectionate welcome and forgiveness, and then it' seamed as though the' shadows were beginning to fall, and shut me out from her forever I With a wild cry I stretched forth my arms to the fading vision— and there was I back again in my old study at Doiininghurat, with the firesunk down in ashos and’ the lamp flickering uneasily on the verge of extinction,and great guant shadows starting up and down ail round me on the wall. The scalos had. fallen from ray oyes. Tho dolusion had passed from me lorovor. Just then tho vil lage clock began chiming out tho hour—three quarters past eleven. J recollected there was a train to London at midnight, and in another instant I had fled from tho house, ami wus running up the deserted street. Tiiere scarcely was any passongers—so late was tile hour—and there was a lone deserted look ovor tho vast sta tion, very chilling and dispiriting to one in my mood. After what Becmed a weary, never ending journey, wo reached London, and in ten minutes I was in my own houso at tho drawing-room door. She had not gone to bed; and, as I opened it softly, I saw her stretched upon where she had cried herself to sleep—just as I had seen her in my dream! What a meeting followed on that waking may be woll imagined, and 'need not be set down here. I never foil back into the old slavery. All my famous treasures wero ruth lessly sent away into banishment down to Doflninghurst, where they may now he seen. And, not very long after, I heard of another copy of • the great,.Chronicle being in the market; but i heard it with the utmost placidity. ',! Thenceforth our lives' ran on smoothly as a bright; summer’s day; and, as they toll of good people in the story books: we'lived hap pily together for eviir after, • Poreycr after)' It wero hotter not to cast a shadow upon thls vision of a poor lonely man, by dwelling,on wliatbefel me. within a brief in ter Val aftet'.'ttiaf.,' % have not coinage to say it now. So :let those eheerftil words stand, by way of an endearing fiction, to recoivc, as my only 66pe, &pd' 6oihfoH> tKeir full, ( enduring truth in the long hereafter of another world.

CHOICE FARM LANDS FOR SALK.— yj THE ILLINOIB CENTRAL RAILROAD COMPANY Is now prepared to sell about 1,500,000 acres of choice Farming lands, In tracts of 40 acres and upwards, on long credits, and at low rates of interest. These lands were granted by the Government,to aid In the construction of this Road, and 'are among the richest and most fertile in the world. They extend from North-East and North-West, through the middle of the State, to the extreme South, and include every variety of climate and productions found between those parallels of latitude. The Northern portion is chietty prairie, interspersed with fine groves, and in the middle and Southern sections timber predominates, altem&Uajp with beautiful pralrios and openings. The climate is more healthy, mild and equable, than any other part of the country—the air Is pure ana bra cing, while living streams and springs of excellent water abound. Bituminous Coal Is extensively mined, and supplies, a cheap and desirable fuel, being furnished at many points at $2 to $4 per ton—and wood can be had at the same rate per cord. Building Stone of excellent quality also aboundr, which can be proenred for little more than the expense of transportation. The great fertility of these lands, which are a black rich mould, from two to fire feet deep, and gently roil lng; their contiguity to thia road, by which every fact lity is furnished for travel and transportation to the principal markets North, South, East. West, and the economy with which they can be cultivated, render them the most valuable investment that can be fouud, and present the most favorable opportunity for persons of industrious habits and Bmall means toaoquire a com fortable independence In a few years. Chicago is now the greatest grain market in the world| and the facility and economy with which the products of these lands can be transported to that market, make them much more profitable, at the prices askea, th&n those more remote at government rates, as the add! tional cost of transportation is a perpetual tax on the latter, which must be borne by the producer, in the re duced price he receives for his grain, &e. The title is perfect—and when the final payments are made, deeds are executed by the trustees appointed by the State, and in whom the title Is vested, to the pur chasers, which convey to them absolute titles In fee slut pie, free aud clear or ewery incumbrance, lien or mort -8 fhe prices are from $6 to $3O: interest only 3 per ct. Twenty per ct. will be deducted from the price for cash. Those who purchase on long credit, give notes payable in two, three, four, five and six years afterdate, and are required to improve one-tenth annually for five years, so aa to have onc-haUthe land under cultivation at the end of that time. Competent surveyors will accompany thoee who wish to examine these Lands, free of charge, and aid them hi making selections. • The Lands remaining unsold are as rich and valuable as those which have been disposed of.
