And blushing wildflowers h ring their heads, enam

Broke forth discordant sounds ;
And wily fowler. from his ambush springing.
Gazed eagerly around.

To hie melodious lay,

The robin cleared his way.

he thus inisutvlerstood ; I will record my
strange and painful experience—not as a
;warning to others, for my fate is too pe
,enhar to be thus useful—but rather to re
deem my memory from so degrading a
-tinrge.
' From my boyhood I have been a theorist,
awl my soul wandered over the vague ()CHM
of speculative philosophy, seeking rest, but
finding none, until weary with psychologi
cal researches, I Mit,rmitied to seek amid
physiological demonstrations for the
unit links which bind the material to the
spit it lial. My Grrtune placed me above the
necessity of adopting a profession, but I
became, from choice, a student of medicine,
and it was during the year which I spent
I i n
, London, while in attendance to public
leetures, that the circumstance occurred
which has thus robbed me of myself.
Ittwas my habit to spud [nub of my
time in the hospital, where the 'effect of
' different diseases upon the various phases
of human character, as well as upon the
diverse physieal constitutions, afforded me
an interesting subject of speculation. [
was one day passing through one of the
sheltered walks in thegarden, when I heard
a.weet, plaintive voice singini what seem
ed to me to be the snatches of old ballads.
The sounds came front a shrubbery in the
grounds apropriated to the lunatic patients,
and separated from the rest of the,garden
by a high wall. Prompted by a feeling
which I can now scarcely understand,
climbed to the top Of the wall, and finding
that the thick foliage prevented me front
discerning the singer, I leaped over the
enclosure and entered the shrubbery. I
shall never forget the picture that then
stamped itself upon my' memory. Seated
upon a rustic bench, with a single ray of
Sunshine piercing the deep shade, and rest
iug like a halo upon her bright hair, was
, a young girl, so•fair, so pale, so etherial ht
the delicate proportions of her figure, that
I almost feared the image was an illusion
of faney. Her large blue eyes were wan-
I dering restlessly around while she sung, and
ere I lut4 time to retreat 1 met their full
glance. - Instead of being alarmed at my
intrusion, a sweet smile parted her soft lips,
and raising her finger, she beckoned me to
approach.
"You have waited long, beloved, but
you have come at last," she murmured in
low and broken tones, as she drew me to
a seat beside her ; then clasping my hand
in hers, she fixed her gate on my facie,
with a look so full of solemn and earnest
touderness, that my very soul thrilled he
neath it.
1 soon'fbund 'that the fair girl's Moon
was entirely obscured, and het insanity
seemed to me to have assumed the almost
hopeless form of imbecility. But her pure
and beautiful instincts were as , fresh and
powerful as if intellect were otill their
guide. She was tender, , gentle, and full
of that confiding .inneoenoe which ~knows

gushing forth, earth could .have held for I.
me no higher bliss.
When we parted, which we did with a
mutual promise of again meeting, I retired
to my lodging in a state of excitement such •
as I had rarely known, and my first care I
was to learn something of her history. I
found that she had been from childhood
dull and inert of intellect; that it had been
only with exceeding labor she had been
taught the elements of knowledge ; and!
that her mind seemed to become more ob
tuse as she grew older, until a severe
fit of sickness which befell her ore she at-'
tained her fifteenth year, completely oh
scored her reason. Upon further inquiry
I learned that she had been an affectionate
and depending creature, always looking;
for love in every one, and, as faras I could
learn, never finding it. Her family were
cold, phlegmatic and common place. The
strict discipline of reason was all they could'
I exercise, and the child had grown stupid in I
proportion ns these means had been exerted',
upon her. She had been for three years in
this state of imbicility, and they had now
' lost all hope of her recovery.
The next day I again found her in the
shrubbery, w here she was allowed to spend
much of her time, as the absence of all
close constraint and vigilance had been
found decidedly beneficial. Her joy at!
seeing me was unbounded, and throwing
herself on the turf at my feet, she leaned
her arms upon my knee, and resting her I
bead upon than in an attitude of childlike
repose, remained gazing with speuehless
tenderness up into my face. She said lit-'
tle. but I could perceive that she was filled
with tumultuows emotions, and as I behell i
the workings of her heart, the idea flashed
through in v brain that her soul might yet
he awakened. I remembered the story 011
her yearning tenderness in Childho id, and
of her unsatisfied thirst ; I fancied I could
see wherein she had been misunderstood,
and I could not but think that where cold
reason had failed, affection might be more
efficacious. She had passed the threshold
of girlhood ; the instincts of a womanly
nature had asserted their rights; the fan
cies of her erratic mind had assumed a
shape, and the anticipation of the coming'
of one who would rescue her 'from lone-'
liness and thraldom, had taken the place
of her former vague dreams. This would
account for her warm welcome of toe, and
a thrill of joy pervaded my whole being
when the thought suggested itself that it
might be my destiny to l eseure a soul from
darkness.
From that moment I determined to make
the attempt, and without dreaming of selfish
passion, without one spark of unholy love,
vowed to devote nil the energies of my na•
ture to the noble task of enlightening a
clouded spirit . . Carefully did I begin the
work, and tenderly did I guard from dan
gerous excite cat the heart which I sought
to inthie lie RZLY a child, a sweet and
love ) ild t e, and I cherished her as
if she hail been my own sinless sister.—
Never did one tumultuous throb stir my
heart when her head rested on my bosom.
The awful responsibility I had incurred,
the oppressive souse of duty, the dread of
fsilure in my godlike enterprise, seem
ed to elevate me above all earthly feel
ings.
I cannot now note all the details of my
success. I cannot trace all the delicate
links of that chain which conducted my
soul into hers, through the me hum of her
affections. I watched the liftings of the
cloud from off her spirit, and I saw clear
but briof glimpses of sunshine ; again the
shadow would settle with a deeper gloom,
and again gleams would break forth, giving
sweet promise of a brighter day. Heaven giving
sweet
joy it was to see those blue eyes light
u p with intelligence, to hear those soft lips
utter coherent words, and to mark the
elastic grace of a form which but lately
moved with all the listlessness of
cility !
But the officious interference of those
who could not comprehend either Ahoo or
myself chucked all this growing good.
Our frequent meetings were discovered,
and we were of course separated. Alice
was taken home by her family, and I was
denied all access to her presence. Nora
month, a long and dreary mouth, I never'
saw her ; and by my impatient longing to
behold her, I learned how much my soul
had gone out front myself. At length I
heard that Alice was much worse—that
she was now a raving maniac, whose ungov
erned frenzy could only be controlled by
personal violence. I could not bear this ;
I wont to her father, I explained to him
my hopes, and begged to be permitted to
see her for a single hour. He was a cold.
practiSal, reasonable man, and while he
gave me full credence for a disinterested
desire to benefit his daughter, he evidently
had little faith in my anticipation of suc
cess. However, he was willing to try the
experiment, and, accompanied by him, I
was admitted to see Alice. She was
frightfully changed. Her eyes glared
wildly, her hair tangled and dishevelled
from her iuoesaant reatlessuess, hung in
masses about her face, and her appearance
was that of one whom loss of reason had
almost brutalised. I could have cursed
the blind recklessness which had.so thwart
ed me. At first she did not recognize me,
but my voice seemed to awaken the iibra
tion of some chord whose music was famil
iar. . She became cal Mer, her ravings had
ceased, she approached matand at length

gering on the very verge Alto inner)
sanctuary where reason .dw . the had :
been awakened, intellect had beeit tepidly
dawning to perfect day, but there were
still weak mists and broken *lows to be
dispersed ere the sun could s ins with un
clouded splendor. Yet the future was now
full of hope and prothisei she had reached
the threshold of reason through the portals
of the, affections. How age loved use I
how sweet was the girlials,',Senderneas she
lavished upon me in the dim twilight of
this the morning of her soul ! how heart
thrilling were her innocent caresses I Oh,
that I could but lose the inemory of that
time ! that I could have imbued her heart
with the remembrances that have poisoned
my existence !
It was just at this period—when there
was nothing to fear fur Alice, but every
sing to hope—that 1 was summoned to
London by the illness of my father. I
dared not disobey the call of a solemn du
ty, and being assured both by her medical
attendant and by my own observation,
that no danger to Alice should result from
my temporary abscence, I tore myselfl
from her, and set out on my melaneholly
journey. I found my father extremely
; ill, but his tenacity of life protracted his
; struggle with the King of Terrors, until
his sufferings had wrenched from him ev-'
erything but breath, which he gladly re
signed.
The terrible tension of my nerves ;
during this prolonged "agnish, together,
with my acute concio uess of an exhans-;
Lion of soul which re tired me le a n able to
41
bear distress, was too much for my bodily
frame. I was stricken down to earth, as
by a giant's hand, while standing beside
my father's grave, and I remember nothing
more until months afterwards, when I
found myself the occupant of a ward in
the asylum for the , inattne. I had been !
•
mad—raving mad l 1
My reason, however, returned as sud
denly as it had been impaired, and my re
covery jeui very rapid. I need not say how
eagerly i'l turned to the thought of Alice,
how I rejoiced even then in being permit
ted to suffer for her sake. I knew that it
was for her I had endured this loss of rea
son ; I was sure that it wall only by my to
tal oblivion of self that she could be
strongly imbued with the light that was
in me; and the thought that she had been
' receiving all of which I had been deprived
was a solace to my heart.
As soon as I regained my strength . I
hurried to Dublin, and words cannot de
scribe my emotion as I reached the abode
of my own Alice. As I entered the dmw
ing-room her father rose to receive me
1 kindly and but my feelings over
' powered me, and ur n ting toAlice, who set
beside him engaged in needlework, 'I mad- ,
ly clasped her in nay arms. . But she had
forgotten me ! Anger flashed in her eyes, ,
and her (Meeks burned with offended deli
cacy as she tort herself from my embrace
and fled to her father for protection.—
Would that I °mild forget the agony of
that bitter moment I To my hurried ex
planation, and my earnest appeal she •lis
towed as to the ravings 'of a , madman.— ,
the bad lost all memory , of our former
'union, and anger and terror .were the only

restoration, aad would Iladly have, repaid
me with her love, but he dared no risk
the recall of her former tenderness.
,He
entreated me to let it depart like a dream,
and toseer her to be' fr
guided by a o
nutes-fhantasy in het affections. I prom
ised and I tried to keep my , word. Alice.
was induced to believe that my recent üb
bermtion of mind could account for' my
strange familiarity when we met, and as
her father's friend she forgave me. But
she evidently regarded me us a perfect
stranger. My mak. was done—she was
fully awakened to intellectual life, bat she
was no longer a portion of myself.
There had been sympathy between her
darkened spirit and the soul which was
imparting to it life and light. There was ,
joy between us, and hope, and a sense of
double existence, which makes the essence
of immortal love. Now all was changed;
and I had transferred into her nature) my
ow,n highgifts; I had lost my own spirit
uality ; I bad become all earthly, else why
did I yearn with such passionate longing
for one touch of her red lips, one clasp of
her soft baud ? She possessed my nobler
soul, and there remained to me but a faiut
spark of that etherial fire which had once
outshone the light of human passion.
' It was weak and vain, yet I was fuel
enough to seek her love, and woo her ati
men woo the women they would wed. —
I sued to her with gentle words and loving
looks and courtly flatteries. I crushed'
the wild 'emotions of my bosom, and bow
,ed amidst tho crowd of her tub:Orem.—
Why did she despise my homage i , Wby did
she look with half contemptuous pity on
my posion ? Was it because her sex ever
I scorn the weakness they can create, and
kruivr not how to be. at the lanie moment,
the idol and the worthipper I ! it was
I because I was degraded beneath tug-fellow
men ; fled lost all that Could elevate me
above them. He who would win a wo
man's love may give her his heart of hearts,
lif he will, but never let him admit her 'to
1 the sanctuary of his soul. What then
could I hope when the gift of my initost
spirit had been the first offering that was
laid upon the alter

the hope was futile. Her intellectus.l had
overmastered her womanly nature, and in
winning tlatrtu reaso n_auti decided will

she refused my suit gently but firmly.—
, Maddened by the excitement of the mo
-1 moat, I poured forth the full tide of long
repressed emotion. I told her of our fur
' mer communion ; I described the gradual
development of her dawning intell ct ; I
depicted the _slow outgoings of my--spirit
as it was transfused into her; I ,prayed
I pray high Heaven, to recall some
memory of the past. It was all in vain ;
the past was gone forever. She looked on
me as a madman, and shrunk from me iu
terror. I never saw her again.
After this a torpor fell upon me, which
rendered me insensible to outward impres
sions. My mind became clouded like a
mirror, over which the damp and mildew
of long years have gathered; images were
reflected there, but they were dim and in
distinct in their outline. The present and
past were blended most successfully and
painfully. I bad no power to oontrol my
thoughts. My soul was dying onl. with
exhaustion.
They told me that Alice was married ;
but the tidings seemly moved me, fur I
could no longer be roused to fleroe emo
tion. Two years have passed since I last
looked on her sweet face; two years of an
guish such as whitens the locks and with
ers the heart of youth. I am dying ; I
shall soon be numbered with the forgotten
dead, for there is none to shed a single
tear above my grave. I am wasting
away with inanition of the spirit. But I
am not—no, by Heavens am not dy
ing of disappointed love.

In the city of Athens, amid all the tu
mult and discomfort of a Greek hostlery,
died the writer of this strange tale. The
incidents he relate. are true; he did awa
ken to intellectpal life the imbecile wind
of a beautiful girl, who in the course of
her recovery entirely forget• Um. He
sought in vain to win her love, and upon
her marriage with another he fell into a
dee:ine, which resulted in his death in the
summer of whether of an exhausted
spirit or a broken heart let those judge
who know the fearful etreni,th of human
affection. A more practical account than
is heregiVOU may be found in Emerson'*
