I ctux Dying.
Raiao my pillow, husband dearest
Faint and fainter comes my breath;
And these shadows, stealing slowly,
Must, I know, be tboeaof death.
Bit down close beside me, darling,
Let me clasp your warm, strong hand,
Yours that over ban sustained me
To the borders of thia laud;
For you? God and mino-our Father,
Thence shall ever lead mo on,
Whero. upon a throne eternal,
Bits his loved and only Son.
I've had viaiouB, and been dreaming
O'er the paet of joy and pain;
Year by year, I've wandered backward,
. Till I was a child again.
Dreamed of girlhood, and the moment
"When I stood your wife and bride
How mv heart thrilled with lovo o triumph
In that hour of woman's pride.
Dreamed of thee and all tho eatth-chord
Firmlv twined about nay heart
Ohl tho'bitter, burning anguish,
When I first know wo must part.
It has passed-and God has promised
All thy footsteps to attend;
He that o more than friend or brother,
He'll bo with thee to the end.
There's no shadow o'er the portal
Leading to my heavenly home
Christ hath promised lifo immortal,
And 'tis He that bids me come.
When life's trials wait around theo,
And its chilling billows swell,
Thou'lt thank Heaven that I am spared
them,
Thoul't thou feel 'that all is well."
Bring our boys unto my bod-side;
My last blessing let thom keep
But they're sleeping-do not wako them
They'll learn Boon enough to weop.
Tell them often of then: mother,
Kiss them for me when they wake,
Lead them gently in lifers pathway,
Love thom doubly for my sake.
Clasp my hand still closer, darling,
This, the last night of my lifo,
For to-morrow, I shall never
Answer, when you call me "wife."
Fare theo wall, my noble husband,
Faint not 'neath this chast'ning rod:
Throw your strong arm round our childron,
Seep them close to theo-and God.
THE FATAL VOW*
CONCLUDED.
"Not BO! not sol" cried the Count?
ess, wringing her hand: , "for God's
sake, lay not blood guilt on my soul.
I may not revoke my vow, but oh!
Albert,. good and true knight, re?
membering your aged father, your
young sister, your gallant brothers,
and bring not destruction on your?
self, and a.clinging curso on me."
0 Count Albert shook his head.
"Nay, fair lady," he said, "what
is hie to me without your love?"
The old, impatient spirit that, for
a momont, had been suppressed in
tho Countess by a natural womanly
weakness, and some remorse for au
unwise vow, now rose at this opposi?
tion.
"Out on you, Count of Erlau,"
she cried. "What would you win,
even if successful, (which cannot
be,) but an unwilling bride? Is it the
devoir of a gallant knight to cast away
his Ufe for a mistress who, of her
own free will, would not give him
a faded flower from, her bosom?"
The knight in reply dropped on
one knee, and taking her reluctant
hand pressed it to his hps. "Your
scorn, lady," he said, "is nothing
new to me; but Albert of Erlau would
rather be the victim of your cruelty
than the favored lover of any other
woman. If I win, the saints, that
guarded me can work another miracle
in my favor. If I lose, it will be but
the fate I seek in every combat."
And without awaiting a reply, he left
the rqom.
' It would bo doing injustice to
Cunigunde to say that her grief
was not intense at this unexpected
result of her hasty vow. With a
white rigid face and hands clasped
convulsively together, at one mo?
ment imploring the mercy of heaven,
at the other calling down maledic?
tions on hor own head for her wicked
oath, she awaited the return of the
messenger she had despatched to
witness the terrible ordeal of the
luckless knight. It only needed a
glance at his horror-stricken face,
as he rushed into her presence, to
tell her the result, and sho fell sense?
less to tho ground.
"Ho rode twenty yards," said tho
seneschal, in answer to tho breathless
questions of tho women who sup?
ported tho Countess, "and right
gallantly, too; but at the turn tho
horse balked, his nostrils seemed
drawn in by terror, and with a hor
riblo cry ho fell sheer down thc
precipice. As he fell, Count Albeit
waved his hand, and cried out, 'Tell
her I await her. * "
When Cunigunde recovered from
the swoon, there was no perceptible
agitation in her manner. She had
masses said for the repose of tho
knight's soul, but it was noticed she
did not assist in them. At chapel,
or in the confessional, sho was no
more visible, and people began to
whisper she had sold her soul to tho
powers of darkness by her ungodly
vow. In fact, she seemed to take a
diabolical satisfaction in tho number
of the victims, who increased, no
way deterred by tho fate of their
predecessors. The fame of ber vow,
her beauty, and her wealth wont to
the farthest ends of Christendom,
and what-one knight ventured, an?
other would have thought it shame to
chivalry not to attempt. The two
brothers of Count Albert were among
tho victims, and the Countess made
no effort to restrain thom from their
fate. In fact, she used all the blan?
dishments of her beauty to entice
her suitors to their destruction. She
would even stand in the court-yard
of the castle, her crimson garments
sweeping the ground, and gems flash?
ing in the sunlight on head and
bosom, but with a light in her eyes
fax brighter, and a,smile on her lipa
that only deepened when the doomed
riders plunged headlong over tho
wall. Hew bower middens shrunk
from her. They told strange tales
of voices boing heard in her room,
unearthly laughter, and shrieks at
midnight, and one morning there
was a mark on her wrist ns if a hot
iron band had encircled it.
Bat little Cunigunde heeded them
or their surmises, and the knights
rode and fell to her heart's content.
But one day, a strange knight
craved admittance to the castle, on
the plea of illness, which had arrested
his journey to tho East. In those
early ages the Ohateleinea combined
leechcraft with their other duties,
and Cunigunde, in spite of diaboli?
cal tendencies, was a gentle aud
skillful nurse.
Tho knight, who was as handsome
as an Antinous, was also tho posess
or of remarkable accomplishments
for those rudo times. Ho read as
uono of the monks of the neighbor?
ing convent could do, and tho lays
of tho Minnesingers he chose to
delight the ears of the Countess aud
her attendants, were full of au ener?
vating softness thoy owed less to
the sentiments of the Swabian poets
than to the eloquent tones that ut?
tered them. He was a poet himself,
too, and with his dreaming eyes
fixed on tho beautiful face of tho
Countess, he would improviso stanza
after stanza, full of the passionate
love that women like to awaken.
Under his gaze her bright, violet
eyes grew soft, and a world of moaning
met his glance, that made her maid?
ens whisper and nod their heads in
a significant manner.
Then, too, Baron Ernst, as he
called himself, as soon as his con?
valescence admitted, showed himself
an adept in all 4;he rudo sports of
that period. Nono of tho veterans
could cast a lanco as far as ho did,
and whose steed caricolcd with moro
grace and was more under tho con?
trol of the rider, than the singular
Arab mare whoso feats seemed super?
human to the superstitious specta?
tors.
Cunigunde, for tho first time in
her lifo, fell headlong iuto the pas?
sionate fervor of a feeling that had
hitherto awakened her contempt.
In proportion to her haughty in?
difference to others was tho utter
abasement of her heart's homage tc
this stranger; nor with her impatient
nature was she slow to let him per
ceive it. It struck her, however, ni
singulai\ that although eloquent or
tho subject of his passion for her,
and casting at her glances thal
thrilled her very soul, ho shunnct"
all the endeurweuts that naturally
belonged to their mutual relations.
"It is a cruel vow, fairest," lu
said ono day, "that I have taken
never to press to my bosom or lus;
the Ups of a woman, save sho whe
becomes my wife!"
"But, Ernst," sho whispered, "wil
I not be that to thee? 1 have sen
to tho Holy Father for dispeusutioi
from my cruel vow, and then, nn
beloved, will Cunigunde proudly
avow her love before men!"
"Nay, not so," ho replied: "tin
ordeal thou hast imposed on llr
lover I must not shrink from. Sure
ly, fair Countess, thou can'st no
wish that tho proud Barons shouh
taunt thy lord and husband witl
winning thee at less risk than tin
mouldering bones that bleach at th(
bottom of yonder precipice? All tba
mortal man may dare, Ernst o
Erlau may venture! And sooth, foi
Cunigunde, thou ort worthy of th
most perilous ride that mortal mai
can take." Tho Countess shrunl
back in tho wildest agony. She hui
never dreamed that Ernst, surej o
her love, would risk a lifo so preciou
to her, and on her knees, with tear
pouring like rain from her prout
eyes, she pleaded with him, but i:
vain.
"May my spurs bo hacked fror
my heels," ho cried, "may knigh
and troubadour cry shume on ht
recreant name of Ernst of Erlar
when ho dares enjoy what ho hus nc
had tho courage to win. Bise Count
ess, and fear not, for I will retnr
unharmed. Summon thy tire-w<
men, lay the bridal wreath on tims
bright locks of thine, for when
kneel in tho chapel to give thank
for my safety, thou must kneel bi
side mo as my bride."
Cunigunde gazed at the statel
form towering far above the usui
height of man; she looked ut th
bright, dancing eyes, tho general a:
of power in every glance and mov<
ment, and felt, sho knew not wir
that he knew of some help beyou
mortal skill. "Even if it be Satan's,
sho muttered to herself, "bo it so; fe
I would give my holies of Heaven f(
his safety." Holding her hand tight]
pressed against her heart, to still i
beating, sho sat in the bridal gai
her lover had commanded, with h?
eyes fixed on the door whence ho ha
issued. Tho maidens gathered tog
thor, frightened by the ghastly fa(
and motionless attitude she preserve!
The wild eyes alone, by their ni
quiot glances, seemed LO botokc
life, and they grew wilder as a cry <
triumph and exultation aroso in tl
court-yard.
"Safo, safe, gracious lady," eric
lier maidens, as tho lofty figure i
Baron Ernst appeared at the thresl
old. Cunigunde made one step fo
ward, like a queen who prepares i
reward a viotor, but the woman co;
quered, and ?he fell at the feet of h
lover. ?
"Oh, my beloved, my Ernst, vc
fallant knight," she cried, clasping
ia knees, "saved, saved fer my un?
utterable love?"
He cast her hands rudely aside, and
strode into the middle of tho room..
"Tigress," ho cried, "blood-stained
woman; do you not know me? Do
you not trace yet, in my face, the
traits of my noble brother, Count
Albert, and the two othor brethren
driven to death, and then mocked by
you, she devil? I, the last scion of
the ruined house, (rained myself to
avengo it, and, through your wounded
pride and love, I have done it."
"Fair Cuniguude," he continued,
with a mocking laugh, as ho watched
her stony stare, "it pains me much
that I caunot give you the parting
saluto so fair a brido deserves, but it
would be a shame to venture into the
presence of my wife, my puro-cyed
Ermengarde with my lips sullied by
tho touch of yours. Call your vas?
sals, fair lady, choose your husband
from them; but on the faith of a
knight, tho meanest horse-boy in
your castlo will condescend, if he be?
comes your lord."
And with another insulting laugh,
ho strode out of the room, and in a
few minutes tho clatter of horses'
hoofs down tho rocky way told that
he was out of reach of the despair ol
tho Countess or her revenge. But
vengeanco seemed beyond the com?
prehension of tho wild-eyed woman,
who knelt in silence in the very spot
whore those crushing words had fall?
en on her ear. As tho gallop of the
horBO was heard, her rigid muscles
relaxed, and she sprung to her feel
with a loud cry, and waa out of th?
room beforo her frightened attend
ants knew what tho meant. Tliej
followed her to tho castle walls, bul
only reached them in time to seo tin
long whito bridal veil floating in th<
air as the unfortunate Countess pre
cipitated herself over tho prccipic*
where so many of her victims hac
met an untimely end.
There is no place in Bohemia mon
shunned by thc country people thai
the ruinous "Kynnst," as it is called
There, in stilly summer evenings
whisperings aro heard beneath tin
precipice, and on stormy nights tb
very words of the ghost chorus sing
in the air:
"Die braut ist gekommen den kr?nz herab
Waa Liebehen biet du BO duster?"
And tho peasants shriek and treni
ble with terror when they tell th
story ol' tho fatal vow of Couutes
Cuniguude.

PROSPECTUS
OF THE
CHRISTIAN NEIGHBOR.
OD willing, I shall cause to bo pub
T lished, at a place, time and price
hereafter determined upon, a Weekly
Paper, with the above style and title.
The general objoct o? tho publication
will be tho maintenance of tho Christian
Scriptures as the staudard of right, in all
questions which involve morality, whether
these questions appertain to man indivi?
dually or collectively, and whether arising
from nis relation to God or his neighbor.
Enjoining conscientious obedience to all
the ordinances of civil government not in
conflict with tho law of God, the CHRIS?
TIAN NEIGHBOR will bo an unequivocal
advocate of Christianity a? opposed to war,
cither offensivo or defensive.
While neither polities nor other inconge
nial matter shall in any wise allov; yet tho
principles of Christianity will bb appliod
to all matters, so far ab they involve moral
principle. Politics shall be excluded from
religion, yet tho former shall not be ex?
empt from tho application of the latter.
Identified with tho Methodist Episcopal
Church, South, whose authority under God
is paramount with me, and holding thc
principles announced, tho NEIGHBOR is
offered as a medium of advocacy of all tho
interests of Christianity in that branch of
thc Church, and also as an agency for en?
larging and establishing in othcrchurchcs,
and in thc regions beyond, that Kingdom
of Christ "which is not of this world."
I desire to ascertain, through thc agency
of all who will so far interest themselves,
what number of subscribers (name, post
office, County and State,) may bo reck?
oned in tho beginning; the price governed
by size of sheet for six or twelve months
to bo forth-coming on the reception of tho
first number.
Let all communications be addressed
