A VISION OF A STUDIOUS MAN.
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<t, Bwcet Lizzie,” I said, “ilidyrm
ever zee such * treasure?’*'•*
“Yea;” said Lizzie; smiling; “very nlco iri-
was ;at that moment studying ati
eld Spanish. rosary, thinking what a rare arm
let it would make.
“Look,” continued.!, in a,perfect trans
port—“suob a superb "piece of mottled call 1 ;
veined and freckled like a bit. of Jasper I”. ■
“It Is very pretty,” said poor Lizzie, trying
hard to admire It; “won’t you buy it ?”■
Buy, Itf I hesitated-rnotfor the price, which
was scarcely a. hundred francs or so, but be
cause t knew how much depended on that mot'
meet,, Alook.at the old red morocco decided
-uie, and I was back again under the thraldom
of the BoOk Bemon. , '
Thenoxtday was spent in diligent investi-'
aatioh of my new-found prizes, and all their
, wautias were, dwelt on pitilessly for the behoof
of pbpr Llszie. , The-day after, we were to

Good, Heavens I here was a burst! .1 was as
tonished and indignant. ' But the fact Was, wo
men were so -unreasonable, so very unreason
able.' I must make allowance for that., Still,-
X did not like this trait in sweet Lizzio’s cha
racter; I would speak to her seriously when
we got heme.. And so. -With a pitying smile,
I said it was no matter; I wpuld make any sa
crifice lbr;peacfa and quiet. The'next day I
sbffcred myself-to bo led away, out of Bel
gium, home again to Loudon. " ' -i ’
There, in Bight; of air my favorite haunts,
the old fever caine upon mewith tenfold vigor.
X was welcomed onco more .at Christie’s and
Sotheby’s, and passed hours .and days in their
famous temples; while sweet Lizzie pitied and
languished at - home utterly neglected. And
such was the Btrange blindness over me, I
could see none' of this, but wondered, and sul
ked, and fell hack-on my old complaint of wo
men being so unreasonable. 'Not a iittio of
our money, too, was going in ’this wild fashion,
in spite of imploring looko and gentle .remon
strances from Lizzie.' But I only held this fob
more of woman’s folly; and, wrapped up in
this selfish doctrine, I sawber cheeks fhdo and
her light spirits sink withput' setting it doWn
to miy cause but'whim and caprice. Ah ! it
clond settles down upon me as I. think over
those days and my own atitpld
crificing living ’affection, truth, and love, on
the altars of these cold paper gods
■So it Went on for somo ten months, when
news came that' the Reverend Erasmus had
been suddenly, called away to hip. last account
when sitting in'his study.chair. .'Thiswas.'a
sore trial to Lizzie, who loved her'father dear
ly. She grieved-very much, und said, what
should sho do now thaf her only ftjend in tho
world was gone. At this epoch l,felt a twinge
of remorse, and for the* next few days was so
devoted and ’ attentive, that I saw the roses
coming back to her cheeks, and the old bright
look' into’her eyes ohce ; more; But thy ene
mies were still in wait for me. Hod pot Dr.
Erasmus left me the rare and valuable library
at Dunninghurst, as one whO would-take care
of it and keep it together for his sake ? I was
burning to get down and explore its treasures j
and, after many struggles, fell back under
tho old yoke.' ' ‘ ,
It was just coming on to the winter of that
same year; a very raw, unpromising season I
well retoUect, when. I received ono morning,
with' Messrs. Sotheby’s respects, a catalogue
of the’extensive library of a distinguished per
son, lately deceased, which was about to be
submitted to public competition. Glqucirig
dowh its long files of names, liiy eye lit upon
a work I had long sought and yearned for, and
which; in nttcr, despair; I had set down as, tn
trouvabh. This CoVCted lotSvus no othcr'than
the famed Nuremberg Chronicle,' printed in
black-letter, and adorned with curious and pri
mitive outs. At’ different thnes some stray
copies had been offered, to me; but -These were
decayed,’- maimed, ’ cut-down specimens, very
different from'tlie:one now bofore me, which,
in the glowing language bf-tho' catalogue, was
a “Choice, clean copy, in admirable condition.
—Antique—richly embossed binding, and me
tal clasps.—A unique and matchless impres
sion.” Ro it was undoubtedly. For the next few
days I had no other thought but that ono. I
discoursed NurembergChronlclo; late,drank,
and inhaled nothing but NurembergChronlclo.
I dropped in at stray ,heurp to'look alter its
safety, and-glared savagely at other parties
who were turning over its leaves. Poor little
Lizzie complained of heing.uPwcli, and lay all
day upon the sola; but what were such trifles
compared with the well-being of the Chronicle J
So I implored her to bo.carcftil of herself, and
hurried away to watch over the precious trea
sure. What a change was here I 'And yet, not
so long since, to Save hfer a moment.’s pain I
would gladly’have made a huge pyre-of all the
black-letter rarities ever printed. But that
was in the sunny days, when we lived at Doiv
ninghurst; she was very different then I So
said I, shaking thy .head wisely, and hugging
myself in my owti folly. ’
- The sale was to take place in about a week’s
time; and this particular lot Was expected to
como on about two O’clock, or thereabouts.
Ail that morning I was very nervous and fidge
ty, and thought-the hOnf would never draw
near.’ *
I had thirty pounds in clean crisp notes laid
providently by for sueli an e'mefgenfcy. Such
a sum, I calculated, would be more than suffi
cient to secure the prize, though X was aware
•that at the Fontbtll andbther gfeat sales copies
had fetched considerably, jnoft'. My coffers
at this period were at a very low ebb; I had
been indnlging this wild taste to an extravagant
degree, giving fancy prices Whenever required;
and there' were to be - seen in our hall slgnifl*
cant groups of dissatisfied claimants; Who were
only to be got away with lamo excuses and
abundant promises. Still, 1 had .contrived to
gather together these thirty pounds, Which had
bin perdus in my drawer until such ’an dcca :
sion as the present. 1 It had now got on to one
o’clock/ and I was thinking it was fhll time to
be setting out, when my agent from the coun
try was announced.’ Was ever anytbing moro
unfortunate 1 StlU he. had btisincss; business
not to be deferred, and, besides, hsd to leave
town that evening; So I had to sit patiently and
hear, him out. /When ho had departed, and I
was just getting my Jiat and gloves, down came
an express from Lizzie, begging to see me
before I went but, just for one. moment. 'lt
was out of the question, I said; utterly out of
tho question. I would bo tpo late as it was;
she must wait till 1: came back, Here the
Abigail, who boro the message,'putting on a
mysterious manner, began to hint darkly con
cerning her mistress’s health—that she had
been ailing these few days back, 1 and mnst he
treated gently. Muttering certain ejaculations,
I bounded up the stairs, and rushed 1 violently
into the drawing-room; where Lizzie Was still
lying upon her sofa. “ Well, what is sit ?”,
said I impatiently; “lam in a hurry.” ' •
“O,” said Lizzie, in heir gentle Way, “do
come and sit down beside me; I want to speak
to you very much—that is, to' ask a 1 great
favor.” 1 ■■
“Is the child, mad ?” I said, very, roughly I
fear. “I tell you / haven’t a moment to spare;
can’t yon say it out at once V- ;l ' l
Poor Lizzie sighed. “Well, then;” said
she “you’ll promise me not to be angry ?”
“No, no,” said I; stamping, “do be
quick.” ./it .
“Well,*’ said she, taking put a little bit of
paper from behind tho cushion, “hero is
Madame Dupont been writing me a -most im
pertinent letter, and ' 1
“What have I to do with Madame Dupont?”
I interrupted; “who is she 7”
.“Don’t you know?—the milliner,” said
Lizzie; “ and now I want you, like a good
dear, to give me the money for her—only
twenty pounds; only to pay her and have done
with her.” "
, She said this so prettily, with that little
earnest manner of hers, that my heart smote
me; and;for a moment, she and the famous
Chronicle were balancing each other in the
scales.' Itwas only for a moment. Ah, the
choice copy I the rich embossed binding and
clasps I It was not to be thought oft
“No, Lizzie, I have no money to spare at
present; we must try and put off Madame Du-,
pont.” .; ■
“ Well, ten pounds; only ten'!”' > , .
“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

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.
SECTIONAL MATS
Will be sent to any one who will, enclose fifty cents lo
pontage stamps, and books or pamphlets containing nu
merous Instances of succcMfnl farming, signed by re
