Her bvMom Leaved she stepped aside;
As conscious of my love, she stepped
Then suddenly with timorous eye
She lied to rue and wept.
Sho half enclosed me with her arms,
She pre&sed mo with a meek embrace;
And I ending back her Lead, looked up,
And gazed upon my face.
'Twas partly lore, and partly fear,
And fartly 'twas a bashful art.
That I might rather feel than see
The swelling of her heart. -
1 calmed her fears; and she was calm,
And tod her love with virgin pride;
And so I won my Genevieve,
Jly bright and beautious bride!

the brave girl recovered, she told her story,
and was warmly congratulated on her courage
and presence of mind. All admired the
horse, which was of striking beauty. A
smr.ll leather valice was attached to its sad
dle; Father IIoSTiirch would not buffer it to
be opeDcd except in the presence of the bur
gomaster. On the morrow, which was Sunday, the
inn-keeper, his wife, thair guests, all set out
to the neighboring town, where they inten
ded, after the service, to acquaint the burgo
master with the last eveciog's adventure.
Krettel, left solo guardian of the house, was
advised not to admit any one until her mas

trembled at being left in such a situation, but
this 3'oung fiervant-maid having watched the
party disappear, fearlessly sot about . her
household daties, singing with a light heart
and a clear voice some pious hymn which her
kind mistress had taught her.

came a knock at the outer door, it was a
travtler on horseback, who asked leave to
rest a little. Krettel at first refused; but on

through every crevice of a little roadside inn
situate between IlornWrg and llotweit, on
the frontiers of the Ducby of Baden.
Two travellers, driven by the bad weather
to the f-hekcr of this humble hosterly, were
forgetting their hunger and weariness in the
comfort of a hearty repast of smoked beef.
Tie biasing aud roaring of a large stove con
trasted agreeably in the travellers ears with
.'he loud moaning cf the North wind without,
aud disposed them fctiiimoreto the enjoyment
of the good thiugs within.
The inn-keeper and bis wife had, for their
own domestic, a youug girl of Baden, whom
they had brought up from childhood. Krct
trel. for tuch was her name, was a best in
herself; housekeeper and maid to her mis
tress, coik in the kitchen, valt-de-cbambre
to the htriy vibitaats in the cne best loom,
and groom in the 6table the hardy, active,
and good humored German girl fulfilled all
thti duties usually tharcd by a large establish
ment of servants.
Ten o'clock struck, and the travellers, hav
ing finished their supper, drew nearer to the
group which had collected around the stove.
l-Vher lIufTkirch, the minister, their host,
and Kouie neighbors who had entered by
ebauce. The conversation turned on the
fearful and murderous events, of which the
UE-ighboring forest hai been the scene, and
each one. had his own story to tell, surpas
sing the rest iu horror. Father Hoffkircb
was among tue torcmost in territviuj; nis
audience by the recital of different adventures,
all more or less tragical. The worthy father
had just finished a hdrriblo story of robbers
quite a chef iV witter in its way. The scene"
of the legend was a little more thau a gun
shot from the inn-door; it was a tradition,
unfortunately, but an ancient gibbet, which
fitill remained on the identical epot, gave to
the narration a gloomy veracity, which no
ona dared to question. This place was, iu
truth,- made formidable throughout the
province 59 being, it was said, the ren
dezvous of a troop of banditti, who held
there every night their mysterious meetings,
All the guests were ttill under the influence
cf the terror which tbo story of Father Hoff
kircb bad caused, when one of the travelers
before mentioned offered to bet tro ducats
tbat no one dared to set off at that moment
to the fatal spot, and traco with charcoal a
eresa on the gibbet. The very idea of such
a proposition increased the" fear of the com
pany. A long silence was then tbeir only
reply. Suddenly the young Krettel, who
wa6 quietly spinning in a corner, arose up
and accepted the bet, asking her master's
conseut at the same time. He and bis good
wife at first refused; alleging the loneliness
of the placo in the case of danger, but the
fearies3 damsel persisted, and was at last
liuficred to depart.
Krettel only requested tbat the inn door
should be left open until her return; and ta
king a piece cf charcoal to provo on tho mor
row tbat bbe really had visited the ppot, the
walked towards the gibbet. When close
beside it, the started, fancying Eho heard a
noise; however, after a moment of hesitation,
stepped forward, ready to tako to flight at tho
Icatt danger. The noise was renewed.
Krettel listened intently, .and the sonnd of a
horse's foot struck upon her car. Her terror
prevented her at first from seeing bow nesr
it was to ber; but the next moment sbe per
ceived that the object of her fear was fastened
to the gibbet itself. Sbe look courage, dar
ted forward, and traced the crofs. At tba
same instant the. report of a pistol showtd
her that she had been noticed. By a move
ment swift as thought, she uuloosed the horse,
leaped ou the saddle, and fled like lightning.
She was pursued, but redoubling her speed,
sha reached the itn yard, called out to them
to dm lbs gse, sod runted a.-y. When
breakfast and depart, sbe agreed to admit
him; besides, the man was well dressed and
alone, so there seemed little to fear from him
The stranger wished himself to take bis bor.-e
to tli6 stable, and remained a long time ex
amining and admiring the noble steed which
bad arrived the previous evening in a manner
so unexpected. While breakfasting be asked
mauy questions about the inn and Us owner;
inquired whose horse it was that had attracted
his attention so much; and in short acted so
successfully, that the poor girl, innocent ol
all deceit, told him cf ber late adventure,
and ended by confessing that she was all
alone. Sho felt immediatelv a vague sense
of having committed some imprudence, for
the stranger listened to her with singular
attention, and seemed to take a greater inter
est thr.n simple curiosity.
The breakfast was prolonged to its utmost
length; at last after a few unimportant ques
tions the traveler desired tho servant girl to
bring LIri a bottle of win;. Krettel roso to
! obey; but on reaching the collar, found that
the stranger had followed her, and turning
round she saw the glitter of a pistol handle
through bis vest. Her presence of mind
failed her not at this ciitical moment. When
they had reached the foot of the steps she
suddenly extinguished the light, and stood up
against the wall; the man, muttering impre
cations advanced a few steps, groping bis
way. Krettel, profiting by this movement,
remounted tho steps agile and noiseless, closed
the door on the pretended traveler, and then
barricaded herself securely in an upper cbain
there to await ber master's arrival.
Krettel had not been many minutes escon
ced in her retreat, when a fresh knocking re
sounded at the inn door, and she perceived
two ill looking men who asked ber what had
become of a traveler who had been thero a
short time before. From their description of
BULWER ON THE DESTRUCTION OF
JERUSALEM.
A few treeks ago Sir E. Bulwer Lytton de
livered alecture in Lincoln, which city be
has for a Dumber of years represented iu. Par
liament, on the early history of Eastern na
tional 'He gave an outline of the history of
the Babylonian, Assyrian, Persian, Egyp
tian, Greek and Jewish nations, and closed
with the following powerful and dramatic de
scription of the destruction of Jerusalem by
Titus :
"rfix years after the birth of our Lord.Ju-
dea aud Samaria became a Roman province,
under subordinate governors, the most fa
mous of whom was Pontius Pilate. These
governors became so oppressive that the Jews
broke out into rebellion ; and seventy years
after Christ, Jerusalem was fiually beseiged
by Titus, afterwards Emperor of Rome. No
tragedy on the ttage baa the same scenes cf
appalling terror as are to be found in the his
tory of this siege. The city itself was -rent
by factions at the deadliest war with each
other all the enemies of civil hatred had
broke loose tke streets were Blippery with
the blood of citizens brother slew brother
famine wasted those whom the sword did not
slay. In the midst of thee civil massacres,
the lloutan armies appeared before the walls
of Jerusalem. Then for a" short time the ri
val factions uoited agaiust the common foe ;
they were again the gallant countrymen of
David and Joshua they sallied forth aud
scattered the eagles of Rome But this tri
umph was brief ; the ferocity of the ill-fated
Jews soon again wasted itself on each other.
And Titus marched on encamped his ar
mies close by the walls aud from the height
the Roman general gazed wiib awe cn the
strength and splendor of the city of Jehovah, j
Let us here pause and take, ourselves, a
mournful glance at Jerusalem, as it then
was. The city was fortified by a triple wall,
save on one side, where it was protected by
deep and impassible ravines. These walbj.
of the most solid masonry, were guarded by
strong towers ; opposite to the loftiest of these
towers Titus had encamped. From the height
of that tower tho sentinel mighi have teen
stretched below the whole of that fair territo
ry of Judoa, about to pass from the country
men of David. Within these walli was the
palace of the kings its roof of cedar, its
doors of the rarest marble, its chambers filled
with the costliest tapestries, and vessels cf
gold and silver. Groves and gardens glea
ming with fountains, adorned with stttues of
bronze, divided the courts of the palace its
self. But high above all, upon a precipitous
rock, roso the temple, fortified and adorned
by Solomon. This temple was as strong without-
as a citadel within more adorned than
a palace. On entering,, you beheld porticoes
It was a calm summer night the 10th of
August ; the whole bill on which 6tood the
temple was one gigantio blaze of fire the
roofs of cedar crashed the golden pinuacles
of the dome were like -pikes of crimson flame
Through the lurid atmosphere all was car
najre aud slaughter: the echoes of shrieks and
yells rang back from the Hill of Ziou aud the
Mount of Olives. Amongst the smoking ru
ins, and over piles of the dead, Titus planted
the standard of Rome. Thus weio fulfilled
the last avenginj prophecies thus perished
Jerusalem. In that dreadful day, men were
still living who might have heard tho warn
ing voice of him they crucified "Verily I
say unto you, all these things shall come up
on this generation. O Jerusalem,
Jerusalem, thou thatVillest the prophets aud
stonest them that are sent to thee, .
behold your house is left unto you desolate !"
Aud thus were the Hebrew people scattered
over the face cf the earth, still retaining to
this hour their mysterious identity still a
living proof of those prophets they bad scor
ned or slain still vainly awaiting that Mes
siah, whose divine mission was fulfilled eigh
teen centuries ago, upon Mount Calvary."
soltly compliant, is not the way to treat him;
the worm that crawls in the dust is trampled
upon. But no. Sir Knight, it is not gone
quite so far with us yet; iu spite of jou, I
will ride Sultan; and "you may thank your
self, as but for ycur menage such a thing
would never have entered my bead.'-'
Her soliloquy was here interrupted by the
entrance of a servaut. who informed ber that
Father Nicholas bad arrived, aud was in the
antechamber, "I cauaet receive bis visit
to-day," tail the consort cf Sir lingo, fcr
my lord is ab-ent. Give this as my excuse
to the reverend father and beg of him to re
turn to-morrow.". "With all due respect to
Father Nicholas," continued she, wheu left
to herself, "he shall not Fpoil my pleasant
tide. Now, if my pouy were but here, lie
must have an easy gait, and bis teeth I do
not fear ; he is as quiet as a lamb. Oh ! bew
ohall I delight iu this two-feld pleasure of
showing the surly old fellow that I care nei
ther for him nor bis orders, and of trying a
pastime that is at least a novel cne T' Thro'
every corner of the house resounded low ber
cry of "Su'.tau." "Ilvre, boy ! Saltan ! Sub-
bis appearance, the young girl immediately ! of numberless Columns of prphyry, marble
discovered that the person sought for was the
person whom she bad locked in the cellar;
nevertheless, the thought it most prudent to
make no admission on the subject. On re
fusing their request to open the door, the
two men threatened to scale the wall. The
poor girl trembled with fear; ber courage was
nigh deserting ber; for 6he knew they could
easiliy accomplish their project by means of
the iron bars fixed to the windows of the
lower story. In this perplexity Krettel
looked around her, and ber eyes fell on a
musket which hung fiom the wall, a relic of
her master's younger days. She seized it
and pointed the muzzle out of the window,
and ciied out tbat she would fire on the first
man who attempted to ascend.
The two robbers, for such they were, could
no longer be doubted struck dumb at the
sight of fire arms when expecting no reslst
tance, they had brought no weapons, and
confounded by such intrepidity, went away
uttering the most fearful menaces, and vow
ing to return in greater force. In fcpite of her
fear our heroine remained firm at her post.
An hour passed away in this critical position;
at last tho girl perceived her master and bis
friends coming in sight accompanied by tba
burgomaster and some officers,
The brave Krettel rushed to the door, and
ber fear amounting almost to despair, gavo
placo to the livle6t joy. To the wonder and
admiration of all, sbe related what had hap
pened; the burgomaster especially lavished
oa ber the warmest praise for ber heroic con
duct. The officers went in search of the
robber whom Krettel bad imprisoned with so
much address and presence of mind. After
a sharp resistance, he was bound and secured;
and soon after recognized as the chief of a
band of robbers who had for some time spread
terror over the country. His men, wander

silver, araoug which was the wonderful gate
called the Beautiful. Further on, through a
vast arch, was the sacred portal which admit
ted into the interior of the temple itself all
sheeted over with gold, and overhung by a
vine tree of gold, the branches of which were
as large as a man. The roof of the temple,
even on the outside, was set over with golden
spikes, to prevent the birds settling there and
defiling the holy dome. At a distance, the
whole temple looked like a mount of snow,
fretted with golden pinnacles. But alas! the
veil of that temple had been already rent
asunder by an inexpiable crime, and the Lord
of Hosts did not fight with Israel. But the
enemy is thundering at the wall. Ail around
the city rose immense machines, from which
Titus poured down mighty fragments of rock
and fchowers of fire. The walls gave way
the city was entered tho temple itself was
stormed. Famine in the meanwhile Lad made
s-uch havoc, that the besieged were more like
spectres than living man ; they devoured the
belts to their swords, tho sandals to their feet
Even nature itself 60 perished away, that a

and murdered each other in the way false

From Blackwood's Magazine
A WOUAS'S PIRVERSITY.
The following beautiful story has beeu pub
lished in different forms, but iu none eo good
as tbe original :
fcir Hugo had reached bis fiftieth year unm. v
ed by pasaion save an ardent one for a flowing
goblet. Instead of love passages, his delight
was iu tournaments whence be always return
ed victorious. At length be was flung from
the saddle of his indifference by the beardless
tilterlove! lie saw Angelica tbe fairest
maidyu of the land forgot bis gray hairs,
and, unmindful of the incongruity of a union
between May and December, led ber to the
nuptial altar. Fortuuately, Angelica was as
tuodctt as he was fair, and ber firm virtue
repulsed the numerous butterflies that bwar-
uied round tho opening flowers of her beau
ty. Sir Hugo knew the tried virtue of bis
consort, therefore she was to biia dear aud
precious as the apple of his eye.
One morning he rode to pay a visit to a
neighboring baron in arms, his eon est squit-e
Courade trotting after him. Scarcely had
they proceeded half way when the knight tud
denly tti'ppeJ, and cried
"Come here, Com ado ; a mobt tormenting

very day that Father Nicholas comes to the
castle to say mass for my dear wife aid my
self, and I am not at all inclined to have him
in my abode during my absence ; so gallop
back, and desire your lady, in my name, not
to admit the priest,"
Courauc paused and shook bis bead as if
in doubt, and replied, ' Excuse me, noble
sir ; but perhaps tbe lady Angelica, if left
to her own discretion, will do what yon wish.'
"A curse on your pcrLaps !" exclaimed the
knight; "I make all sure by giving, the or-
"Do you think so replied the squire ;
"now, I iu my simplicty believe exactly the
contrary. Take the advice of your faithful
servant for once in your life ; let things take
their course, and give no order upon so deli
cate a point."
"A fig for your delicacy ?" cried Sir Hugo
angrily; "what absurd fancies you have got
into your head to-day J Do you think an
hour's task so very tedious
"Oh! if it comes to tha,t, sir," rejoined
Conrade, "I have no more to say."
Ha put spurs to his horse, and rode bsck
to. the castle.
Angelica saw him galloping up, and cried
in terror, from the window, "What has bro't
you back in such haste ? Has any accident
happened to my lord T
"None whatever, gracious lady," answer
ed Conrado, "but the noble knight was ap
prehensive that some accident might bappc-u
you, if by any chance you took a fancy to
ride Sultan."
"I ride 1 ride the large greyhound 1" ex
claimed Angelica, in utter astonishment. "I
believe you are drunk or mad It is impos
sible that your master can have sent us so
ridiculous a message "
"Aye, but be did though," pursued the
squire; "and my noble master stid at tbe
same time, tbat Le knew Sultan would bite
terribly, not being accustomed to bo made a
pouy of; end be therefure begs that you will
not attempt to divert yourself in that way."
Having said this, be again mounted bis horse
aud galloped off to rejoin his master.
"Am I awake,rr do I dream V ejaculated
Angelica. 'The folly of Sir Hugo is so
strange, tbat I am almost tempted to believe
it all a wild dream. What docs he mean ?
It is not enough that I have hitherto tried to
read his every will and wish, and, when
known, obeyed them implicitly ; and do I
