CHAPTER ii.
Catharine Altoff was the only child of a
Educa-
ter and youthful lcvity, into itthoughlful, yet
highly iiai-cc and uriuflected demeanor ; and
slight outbreaks of childhood, which, under
11 milder system, might -‘have run in an ad-
verse direction, were thus brought and im.
pellcd into the right course. She was, in
fact, at the time that her ever watchful parent
took up her abode in Vienna, a model to
others of her sex and beauty, though in this
latter respect she had certtiinl y few equals ;
and it is little to be wondered at, that in due
course 0fllll]ell)t¥l=llL‘Il1C(l and beautiful Rus-
sian became environcd with admirers. She
received flatteries, coinpliments, even decl:ii'a-
tions, without number, _botli from peer and
plebian ; but her own natural good sense
and discrimination bore her triiimpliantly
through the test of atltilation, and atthc same
time, left her vanity in all cases without
wound. The most favored of ’ her suitors
was unquestionably the young Austrian, Or-
litz; but the flame of love never burned with
true brightness in her breast, until she had
beheld the Polish stranger. Tlicii eyes had
often met. Oftentimi-s, unknown to him, she
had watched his footsteps; but as we have
shown, their meeting at the ball, wliilepro-.
ductive of at mutual avowal of love, was ter-
minated in a manner so strange and inexpli-
cable that the pride of the lady was, for the
first time in her life, grilled and tasked to the
utmost.
But to revert for the moment to our hero;
with a throbbing heart and burning bruiii did
Varenski throw himself on his couch,aind
ield up his mind to agonizing reflection; for
he had madly loved, and was now determin-
ed at all hazards, by "reason of his vow to
shake off that lovel At t~arli,c:t dawn he

It was late in the night; a light, httwevc-r~,
was visible in the drawing room at Madame
Altofl"s; and Orlitz, relying on his intimacy
with the o\_vr_ter_s, sought admission into the.
house. "
A dismal spectacle met his gaze on enter-
ing the chamber now occupied by Madame
A toff and her dauohter. The one‘ was pale
and apparently lifedess, while the other was
busily engaged in bathing‘ her much loved
child’s temples with vinegar. As be ap-

It is shut to the glow of this present existence-
It bears. from the Past, a funeral strain:
And it eagerly turns to the high-seeming dis-
tance,
Where ilie lost blooms ofearth will be garner-
ed again ;
Where no mildew the soft, daina
shall nourish—-
\Vhere grief bears no longer the poisonous
sting;
\Vhere piiiless Death no dark scepire can flour-
ish,
Or stain with his blight the luxuriant spring.
It is thus. that the hopes, which to others are
given.
Fall cold on my hearth in this rich- month of
May ;
I hear the clear anthems that ring through the
heaven-—
I drink the bland airs that enliven the day;
And ifgentle Nature. her festival keeping.
Delights not my -bosom, ah! do not con-
demn :--
O’er the lost and the lovely my spirit is weeping.
For my heart's fondest ruptures are buried
with them. G. C.

THE S9N’S VOW.
‘Love is Lord of Truth and Loyalty;
Lifting himself out of the lowly dust,
On golden plumes up to the purest sky.’
' Spencer.
CIIAPTER I.
‘ Casimir, I have a request yet to make;
nay, a command-—before I die.’
‘ Say on, sir. You shall be obeyed.’
‘You know what I have suffered; you
know the injuries I have experienced; I
would have you swear eternal hatred to
Russia!’
‘ Father, I swear.’
‘ Heaven bless you, my son. My persecu-
tions, my misfortunes, my bodily sufferings,
have often caused your hefttt to bleed for me,
Casimir. It is not a. common hatred to
these Northern des ots, the tyrants and
usurpers, that l. wotil urge upon you ; it is
a deep rooted detcstation—to the death—lia,
ha !—hatred to the death, my son. Fortn no
friendship with them ; cherish no affection;
lend no sympathy; give them nothing but
your curse l’
The old man, as he concluded, rose in his
bed, and his son repeated the oath which he
dictated. The sight was even as that of the
youthful Hannibal obeying the summons of
the veteran I-Iamilcar, to wage a constant war
upon Rome. Exhausted by the effort, the
dying warrior sank on the young man’s
shoulder, and presently he ceased to breathe.
It was some eleven or twelve months after
the above described event, that Count Casi-
inir Varenski was seated in his lodgings at
Vienna, engagedin earnest conversation with
a outig Austrian officer, tvhoseacquaititatice
hehad but lately made, and from whom he
hoped to experi_en_ce more real friendship

Love her? Bah!’
‘Vllhatl do you know her, then Cl’
‘Know her? I have spoken to—daticed

‘ You are a happy man.’
, _ ‘On that nccoiml? I ,shall, in all proba-

‘She will. Do you wish to accompany
me? that is—shall I play the introducer ‘.3’
‘ Imlofl is a Russian. I cannot set foot in
his house.’
It seemed as though a sudden and happy
thought had flashed across the brain of the
young officer as he quickly and anxiously
added, ‘ True, true ; I had forgot. But you
shall come with me to the English Ambas-
sador’s to-morrow night, and there I will in-
troduce yon.’ ’
‘ Agreed. I have no objection to that.’
‘\Vell, for the present, then a.-uirct-air.’
As this friend quitted the room, Casimir
Varenski could not avoid observing a sinis-
ter expression upon his usually frank and
open countenance, and his thoughts recurred
to the agitation .evinced by his demeanor and
words upon first perceiving the fair one in
question. Moreover, he had left so abruptly.
without even hinting the name or station of
the maiden, although he knew her and danced
with her! But then, he had seemed really
anxious to introduce him; and with this re-
flection Varenski endeavored to suppress
certain unpleasant reflections.
‘ When Orlitz came, according to appoint-
ment, to accompany his friend to the soiree,
so light and joyful an air sat on his features
that it seemed impossible to doubt or suspect
any further. They entered together the spa-
cious apartment devoted to the embassy, and
the first object which met the gaze of the
young man, was the identical beauty who en-
grossed the Pole’s evergfthought, and to his
mind looked more beautiful and graceful than
ever. Orlitz advanced, and after a few
casual complimentary‘ words presented his
friend—bitt in so hushed a tone was"thc
whole presentation made, that Varcnski was
totally unable to catch the sounds. ‘bearing
the name he so coveted to hear. Yet did this
form no impediment to the easy flow of
words which he called up for the. occasion.
He had prepared a few trifling compliments
to open with, such as must have proved in-
offensive to the proudest; these were follow-
ed by the natural and unstudied language of
sentiment and romance, which finding a
speedy echo in the bosom of her to whotn it
was addressed, was soon emerged in the
more engrossed theme of love. Ay, start not
reader, it was a love at first sight, born of
deep and searching looks to which words
were but secondary. Start not, such a love
does exist as love from the eyes!
The band struck up a waltz. To escape
the scrutiny of the ever observant, the lovers
(as we may term them) arose from the spot
-where they had been engaged in their li_ttle
drama, filling up scenes, as it were, of which
the plot and arrangement had been previous-
ly sketched out, and mingled with the dim-

worthy and zealous a champion you are in
its cause. It is my inteniioii, should I sur-

To Leopold Orlitz, &.c. ’
Upon the receipt of this epistle, and after
having arranged all matters with the bearer
as to the proposed 'rc72c0'/Il're, Orlitz, with a
firm and resolute step, set out for the abode
ofMadame Altoffi to pour into her daughter’s
ear a renewal of his love, and turn the con-
duct of the unfortunate Casimir to the best ad-
vantage for himself. He found the maiden
seated in her‘ d{)’ZLlf0f7‘, abstracted and melan-

She was not Russian, though “she bore &

1’utrio_t, who perished striiggling for inde-
popdence. The Gene-ral’s ear caught the
dying father's prayer for ‘ptutrutiun of his
orphan cliild, and making inquiries, he dis-.
covered the gill, then but three years old, in
the care of strangers. He adopted herm-
gave her his name-—and having no child of
his own, he bequeathed her a part of his for-.
tune when he died. This intelligence may
be said to have rescued. the lover from the
arms of death. With the bright tear-genimcd
eyes of Catharine hovering over him, and
the music of her voice falling upon his, either-
speaking encouragement and hope, or engag-
ed in prayer for his recovery, he gradually
became convalescent; and, eventually, happy
in the enjoyment ofthe affections of the one
bright object of l.-is heart’s idolatry.
