Among other pu pils, there was a youth of, eighteen summers, who, in consideration of his years, enjoyed more liberty-than t bis mates. He was a bold, hand some youth,- with cprling, light hair clustering around a bright face, and a good Strong heart in his busom., Being the son of very wealthy parents, who withal, occupied an important,po sition in the .city of Strashnrg, he was rather self-willed, and inclined to give why to his pas sions, HisTiame was Hardy. “Not far from the convent, a gipsey horde, had pitched their tents. The good, sleek fathers were too kind and comfortable to drive them away. Besides, the gipsey lasses, with their dark eyes were fair to see. -So, the horde re mained in peace, in the dark woods where they had settled, j Hardy went often to the gipsey encampment—now to have his fortune, told', then to sport with the half-naked 5 boys, but chiefly to visit the tent-of an old woman,.whose niece he loved, as only the young and the.good can love. , The young" gipsey girl was no less enamored of him. Indeed it was a happy time for tieth Elmy and Hardy. ‘ The sweet world jseemed to teem with flowers, and the glad heaven to blossom with angels. Who has not felt the ephemeral jdyS of the passions?' ” ’Once when Hardy returned from Straabarg, where he had spent the vacation with bis pa rents, he brought a golden bracelet for his gip-' e§y love. She accepted it-joyfully as a sign of his tender regard for her, and delighted thence forward in sitting on the banks of a clear brook, and letting the beautiful bracelet reflect itself in the smooth water. It was on such a day that her old aunt turned to her with, prophetic mien, and said: - j V ‘ This bracelet represents thy future luck, child; if you lose this, do not hope fur another glad hour/ “ Sitny, whose happiness consisted solely in Hardy’s love, guarded the jewel closely. But time effaced the first impression of tfao prophe cy, and soon She again adorned herself as be fore.' “ One day she played thoughtlessly with the bracelet, lifting it and again allowing it to-roll into her lap. Suddenly she hears a rushing- Sound, black wings strike her, and when she looks up, a raven flies, off with her bracelet in his beak. She watches him, and sees him bear her jewel to bis nest in the fissures of a high steep rock. Weeping, she hastens away to meet Hardy, to. whom, she relates the cause of her distress, together with the prophecy of her aunt. In vain he endeavors to console-her. His flattering caresses, together with the prom ise of a new bracelet did not lessen her grief. She longs for the lost bracelet, and that, alone can Cure-her sorrow. Moved by her distress amounting almost to despair, he promised to regain the lost toy, and left her. ■ He returned to the convent, and then, accompanied <by two friends, climbed the rock in the fissure of which the raven’s nest hung,- intending to let himself down by a rope to the level of the nest. Elmy bad not asked.him hy what means be would em deavor to .regain the bracelet. Suddenly she hears a noise above, and looking upward, she perceives ..Hardy hanging midway- between heaven and earth.. She endeavors to call to him. to abstain, hut her voice refused, her limbs trembled.with terror. Already ho was upon a level with the nest —already he extended his hand for the ring—when tl\6 rope broke, and the- unfortunate youth was dashed into the abyss, with indescribable quickness. At the same moment a-terrible cry burst from Elmy’s lips, and she sank fainting upon the grass.— When she recovered her mind and memory were obscured by madness. No word ever passed her lips again.” THE LOST IHHEEITAH'CE. The train from Paris to Lyons stopped at the station of Joigny, a town upon the route, and after leaving a; few passengers, again went on. The station, for a moment crowded with rail way porters and lookers on, was soon deserted by all but two! individuals. One of them was an old man, dressed in the garb of a well-to-do •farmer; the other, ayonth of about five-and twenty, who seemed to be wgiting for some one to come and mjeet him. To this person the old man presently addressed himself. i “ Maiy I-presume, sir,” said be, “ to inquire if you are Clement B.?” „ “ Yes, ihy good man,” replied the youth with a haughtiness of manner, “ and--1 hav'e no doubt you are Mr. Martin.” “ At your se -vice sir,” replictl the other. “ Well, Mil. Martin,” continued Clement, in the same tone, “ I began to imagine that you intended to keep me waiting. That would not have been the pest manner in _ which to have insinuated yourself in my gbod graces.” The old man, instead of replying, let his head fiill hpon his breast as if in deep affliction, and conducted the new comer towards a large old fashioned carriage, to which a very rough looking horse was harnessed. - : ”Here is yonr. carriage, sir,” said Martin’; "if yod will be good enough to get in, I will have the honor of conducting yoli to the Her mitage.” ' 11 That my carriage, l sir ? Why, I shall bo taken for a traveling pedlar.” , , Hut a few dajya before, Mr. Clement 8.,, who novr put on so I many fine airs, was a simple clerk in a crockery warehouse iri Paris, ahd*pos seseed the, power of being a quiet, unpretend-, ing little fellow). WHat then had brought about thin sadden anti radical transformation? He had becbrii'e since the*previous day a rich man, and it may be weHundbrstood' that the' pos , sesijor ofatiincomeof twenty thousand francs a year finds it difficult to retain the modest de meanor of a poor clerk! On the previous diiv, ' while'dusting the' large piles of crockery Under ,his charge, a letter arrived for him by the post, conveying to 'him the startling intettighrioa that' 1 onCpf his uncles, of whom he had often heard its an ecectitfio and fery wealthy old man, but whom he'Had n'over seen, had just died at liis .residence in Burgundy, leaving his nephew^ A GEBMAIT LBOEH'D* Clement sole heir to his estate, to the exclusion 'of "many other heirs. . - i This letter was from a notary in the province who desired him to leave Paris immediately for Jnigny, the town near which his uncle had re sided, where he would be met by Mr. Martin, an old confidential servantdf the deceased, and conducted from the railroad to the Hermitage, the name which the deceased had given to the estate'. ' ,1 J ‘ Almost-driven but df his senses by such nn unexpected stroke of fortune, Clement hastened to attend to the notary’s directions, and on his arrival at Joigny, joined -Mr. Martin as wa have seen. . . , ‘ , i , - On jolted the .queer vehicle in which our hero had so Contemptuously takenw place, until, after a ride of several miles, the occupants ar rived at their destination. Martin offered the honors of the Hermitage to the new proprietor, called all the servants and introduced them|to their future master, and then conducted the letter to his own apartments.- . • t l5 I “ This was the sleeping ehambC*rtot„yabr uncle,’’ said Martin, as they entered, a large apartment, furnished in old fashioned style. “ It was in this room that he died'ten-days <*S°" ’ , Cl' Bht the nephew, instead of evincing, any emotion upon being shown the chamber of,Bis benefactor, threw upon all around him a lock of scorn, and.cried: “ Upon my word, I can’t say I think much of the old boy’s taste. F never saw anything strveryngly in all my life.” “ Notwithstanding, sir,” replied Martin*,'“lit is the best we have here; and if you cannot content yourself, I really don’t know where you will find other lodgings.” ' | “ I live here 1” exclaimed the young man ; “ Ton do not imagine I-am such a donkey,! I hope. For us young fellows, do yon see, Paris is the only place ; so I shall sell this crazy old rookery at once, and then be off,” j ' “ Sell the Hermitage J” exclaimed Martin ; “ your uncle’s favorite place of residence’!

A few days ago while walking tip Broadway,' Mr. B. suddenly remembered that be hnd.somh friends to dine with him. “ Confound it,” said he, passing his hand over his ehin. ,“T am veryi much in need of being shaved.” Seeing the tri-colored pole which designates the bar ber's shop, he entered it, seatq<g|himaelf in a chair and stretched out bis neckto.the Figaro of the place. “ ’Shaved sir?” laconically spoke the map df razors,—“ Yes,” replied B. in the same strain. 1 Soon the face of our hero disappeared under a thick coat of foaming soap suds, which quick ly was removed to give place to another edition of the same. Finally, the operation was, fin ished. During this time Mr. B.’s wits had gone “ wool gathering” in Egypt, his eyes half shut, in a kind of magnetio dream brought on by the manipulations' whichliisface bad undergone. He dreamt that the shinln'g glass of the barber’s clock was some glass utensil found in the tomhjs of the old Pharaohs, by that indefatigable mummy banter Bayard. . sir ?” said the barber. An in'distimet “ Yes” escaped from the lips of our friend. If .the man had asked, “ Will you have your head off?” the an-. swer would have been .the same. Soon the un fortunate’s head was enveloped in asubstance which gave it the appearance of, an old,bale rjf horse hair, covered with snow flakes. Then he was carried under the fountain, and the cock turned, and the water deoeqded.upon his. devo ted head. The very sudden shock awoke him from his dreams. ■ Ho remembered that he was not a dweller in the land of Egypt in' the- time of Cheops or Cephrenins, but of New York, in • the year of our Lord'lB6o. However, the bar ber continued his work, rubbing and scrubbing with all his might, until he finished by pulling off his wio!! 1 Mr. B. jumped up -in rage, squaaed off a la Hoenoti, but stopping short at the frightened look on the face of the barber, could not help bursting out laughing, which-, erjtied by the five or six witnesses of the scene joining in Heartily, B. received back his wig shining with'renewed'splendor.

BSOTTEB SAND-A TALE FOB j The following was told by the narrator, nn eye-witness of what took place, near thirty years ago, and we give it in hia own words, as ■elated at the time | « The other morning, at the breakf.ist .table, when I, an unobserved spectator, happened to )je present, Calhoun was’observed to gnae fre quently at his right band, and brush it with bis left in a hurried and nervous manner, Ho clid this so often that it excited attention. At length one of the persons comprising the break fast party—his name, I think, is Toombs, and be is L a member of Congress from Georgia— fook upon himself to ask the occasion of Mr. Calhoun’s disquietude. Does your hand pain you ?” ho asked of Miv Calhoun. To this Mr, Calhoun replied, in rather a.hurried manner, i‘ Pshaw ! It is nothing but a dream I had last night, and which makes roe see perpetually a large black, spot, like an ink blotch, upon the Wkiof my right hand; an optical illusion, I suppose.” Of courae.tbese words excited the curiolsity of the company, but no one ventured to beg the details of. this singular dream, until Toombs asked quietly, “What was yohr dream tike?! I am not- very superstitious about dreatbs ; but sometimes they bate « great deni t f troth in them.” “ But this was such n pe culiarly absurd dream,” said Mr. Calhoun, fgaiu brushing the back of bis right hand ; ‘; however, if it does not intrude too much on the- timo-of our friends, I will relate it to you.” Of course the company were profuse in their expression* of anxiety to know all about the dreacji, and Mr. Calhoun . related it. “At a ijtte hour last : night, as I- was eittingjn my Eim lengaged in writing, Jvwss astonished by i entrance ef a visitor who, without a. word, k a seat opposite me at my table. This sur prised .me, as 1 had given particular orders to tie servant that I should on no atCount be dis turbed. The manner in which the intruder entered, so perfectly self-possessed,- facing his slat opposite me without a. Word,as though my - room and all vritfcin- it belonged to him, excited iii mej as much surprise as indignation.- A* I r lised my bead to look into his features, over too top of my shaded lamp, {.discovered that hewas wrapped in a thin cloak, which effectu ally concealed his face and features from mj ytew, and as I raised ray head be spoke: ‘ What are you writing, senator from South Carolina V I did not think of his impertinence at first, but" answered him voluntarily, ‘I am thriting a plan fur the dissolution of the American tin- ■ icn.’ 1 (You know, gentlemen, that I ato ex pected to produce a plan of dissolution in the U rent of certain contingencies,) ■; To this the ir trader replied, in the coolest manner possible., , ‘ Senator from South .Carolina, will you" allow nppto look at your hand, your‘fight frvftd?’, He rose, the cloak fell, and I,beheld his, faoo. Gentlemen, the sight of that face Struck me* like a thunder clap. It was the face of a dead , man, whom extraordinary events had called back to life. The features were those of Gen- 1 eijal George Washington. lie Was . drJpsod in ! thp Revolutionary costume, such as lyrm see in ' thjerPatent office.” Here Mr. Calhoort paused, apparently agitated. His agitation,jf need nut ted you, was.shared by- the company.-. Toomb* at length broke the embarrassing pause.— “ Well.what was tjie.isaue of thlsachrreMr. Calhoiin resumed. “The intruder) as I, have said, rose and asked to look at my right-hand, as .though I had not the power to re'fpse. • I ex tended it. The truth is, I felt a strange thrill „ pervade me at his touch ; ho grasped, .it and held it, near the light, thus affording full time to examine every feature. It was the face of Washington. After holding my,hand,for a momept; he looked at me- steadily, and said in a quiet way, ‘ And with this right hand; Sena- . tor from South Carolina; you woqld sigh -your name to a paper declaring the Union dissolved?’ I answered in the affirmative. Yes, I said,:if a ‘certain contingency arises, I my uaine to the Declaration of Dissolution. But moment a black blotch appeared on the back of my band; which I seem to - see now. ‘ What is that;?’ said I, alarmed, I know not why, ait the blotch on ray hand. ' ‘ That,’ said hO, dropping my Ijand, ‘ is the.xnark by which Benedict Arnold is known in the next world.’ Ho said nojnore, gentlemen, but drew from be neath his cloak an object which he laid upon the table—daid upon the very paper on which I jwas writing.- This object, gentlemen, was a skeleton. ‘There,’ said Ite, ‘there are the hones lof Isaac Hayhe, who was hung- »t Charleston by the British, He gave bis life in order to establish, {Re-Union. When you put' your rjama to a DcclafdtJon of Dissolution, why, y6b may as well have tho bones of Isaac Iliynn beforeyou—he was a Sonth'Caroltninn, and sr» nife you. But there' was no bloteh oti his right hand.’ With these words the intruder loft rim room, i 1 started brick from the contact with tttfe dead man’s bones andt—awoke. Overcome by labor, 1 had fallen asleep and bad been -dreaming. Was it not ,a singular dream V’ All thecompany answered in tbe affirmative, midToorota mattered, “Singular, very singu lar,’' and at the same time looking curiously at thejb&ck of his right hand, while Mr. Cal houn placed his head between his hands and seemed tarried in thought.’' . i'Sccd isijrs. —Ss lately dead !So soon for gotten. “Tis the way of the world* Wo flourish awhile'. ■ Men take us by the iband, "and ore anxious about the health of our bodies, ahd laugh at our jokes and* wereajly think, like tbs' fly on the Wheel, that we baveisome fliihg: to do With the turning of it.
