Oswild was a tali fellow of twenty three or twenty-four years, of fair com plexion, pale and spare as a poet, a dream er as well as a lover. He was the son of a burgomaster, in i Prussian province. His father allowed him the moderate pension of forty florins per month, and he was now engaged in the study of medicine in the nob e uni versity of Heidelberg. The foundations of the house where our hero had taken up his quarters wt re washed by the waves of the muddy stream which we have described, and situitml near the Lutheran temple beside the famous bridge ol Heidelberg, which sup ports the statue of duke Charles Theo - dore. The proprietress of this mansion wasj"' '." nun, win, an old woman, whimsical and sulky, "mplexion a most yellow a pointed who was ever grumbling and tormenting her lodgers, generally poor students; for the lodgings let by the old shrew were unpretending in all points, and cost but 3 florins 12 kreutzers, (nearly 7 francs 5 sous of our money) per fortnight. But, 011 the other hand, the good lady had a daughter, a pearl of beauty, who had attacted the attention of the poet student, who passed long evenings, perch ed among the ruin3 of an old chateau, where he usually went to converse with the storks. RE3chen (Rose) was by far the most enchanting little creature to be f mud on the romiutic shores of the Rhine or the fruitful banks of the Danube hers ws not the indolent and mawkish air, the pale blue eyes, the nearly ashy hair and thoughtful and almost sad smile of the daughters of Germany. She was small, graceful in her slender form, dark and laughter loving as any daughter of Spain or sunny Province; her bon locks shamed the spotless crow uin; her deep blue eyes ever sparkling with thoughtless gayety and mischief, her cherry lip and the tantalizing smile which ever wreathed it sent a thrill of deep emotioa through the heart of every atudent who chanced to meet her in the tortuou streets of the University city. Rose was the corrective of her mother if we may be allowed the expression she caused the lodgers to forget the close flsteduess, crabbedness and general par limonj of the old omn, who supplied them Willi coffee au. I butter, the invaria ble item of t he student's breakfast. Uut of all tlie lodgers of the house no one was so much the object tf her deli cate attentions aud kind cares as Oswald. The young fiitl hail ransacked the neighboring; rooms lo furnish the stu- dem' with fdine degree of comfort; the brought him always he best mfl'-e and cream and not unfit quently took care to add to this a glass oi cherry brandy, Wh.ne-r Rose entered his room. Os- I wald felt a thrill of deep emotion through j , . i 'u " !ha',f heart, ami could never suppress the uttered exilctina iin; "Ah! if my i father the burgomaster were only a little less proud!'

The man. for such he appeared bowed mith a smiling countenance, took a chair ut the foot of the bed, and seated himself in the opposite angle of the fire place, facing the student to whom he id : "Good day. Oswald, how are you?' The individual who thus intrudes him self upon our notice deserves a few lines of description. He was a little old man 1 rf civ r!w i m . I . . nose, thin and compressed lip. um-ular chin, a glance concealed behind a piir of spectacles in perfect keeping with the whole man. His fingers, long and thin, appeared lo terminate in talons rather than nails; through his patched aud ragged gaiters were thrust and appeared in full view another set of talons similar to thos. of his hands. He wore a heavy grey overcoat, a pair of short breeches of faded green, a cap with a long shade which served the double purpose of covering his head and keeping his spectacles from falling off. Sir, said he to Oswnld. w ho remained g.zing 11 slupified astonishment at this extraordinary apparition. "I thought th?.t you might possibly have needed my small services and 1 have called to see you.' To whom have I the honor of speak ing? demanded Oswald, who began to feel himself influenced by a sort of su perstitious terror. I h-ive not the slightest objection to mentioning my name.' replied the little old man, "still, bjfore doing so. I think I ought to enquire what you might ex pect of me.' Pardon me, sir,' said, Oswald, casting d disdainful glance over the niserable rags of the unknown; "I do not see that I have any great reason" Ah!' exclaimed the old man with a marking smile, cutting short hi3 reply, I appear to you rery contemptable and very poor, and really, for a man who f,,i,ir. c ro!ioio:i! v r;,!!.d oo.Ms fu 1 1 o t 1 w be ii one co ti 2 1 inhabit a inI.i ce and have : . , . . ,. , , 'exist, ainlv have I cahed you lo " i - , ii t l.i- I . man si-arrr.'i in ins priui", weil cia;i, nim ; , . , . . , , , . . . em tv ideas tnd tinntier words one ' d could desire, to louge in a irnsera- i , ' ,, , f , , . , .. bed ot uoalll vainlv have 1 prayed find nil tmpi; i.edi sua tmpuer worus, one, r. a inareut v wc bred "mv dear riend I1 ' . 1 1 . hail of h.s life ho passed in the clouds : l;i3. and to ,m.I;e love to a v ,u just n .w mv na:ne-'ct ' ?

If it were given you to clios; remain poor, obscure and miserable, for the love i of Hose or on the other hand, renounce her, and become rich, sought after by the great of the laud and respected by the small which "would you do?' Oswald, it must be admitted hesitated a moment, lie could not but remember that the voice of Hose was sweet and harmonious as the geutlo murmur of the rustling spring breeze, her look gentle and fascinating, her lips redder than the ripe June cherry, her hand white and slender as the hand of any peeress; it ap peared to him at this moment that she passed the half opened door with an al luring smile on her rosv lins; but this- lovely vision disappeared soon and gave place to that dream of fame which Os wald had so long cherirdied, and which the little old man had so vividly recalled. 'Faith!' exclaimed he, so much the worse for Hose. A littlu dry laugh followed these w ords. 'Very welT said the old man. And time such is the case, come with me.' 'But,' obsened Oswald. Come along. added the old man with an accent of fascination such as the student was unaYde to resist, but obeyed without u word, and rose to follow him. The extraordinary individual took the ftudent bv the hand, opened the. door, and hurried him along down the damp and gloomy stairway of the mansion. In th-i street they found a magnificent carriage drawn by four blood horses; the postillions appeared in the saddles, two lootmen slood behind, and the cushions appeared wrought in gold embroidery, A footman covered with gold lace lowered respectfully the carriage steps. fc nter, said the little old man to Os wähl. x .. . . . . , IU IW I iJL" L. oil il t ui V O.IU Ul L.1T i i : . i t Oswald obeyed mechanically, the un ucss wii, n tiapkid'on his left arm in the known placed himself beside him, the , most rcpectful of attitudes, pouring iu footmin passed the word to the postil- j to a cnp f ß dieinim crystal most wou lions, the carriage started, crossed the derfully wrought, wine of the reign of bridg.: of Nekar al a gallop, and conJrt- HPiry 4th. ued its course at a rate tiuly alarming. r 1 1 1 i 1 1 1 j n ... . . . , . . 0 Oswald whoso lips had never touched Oswald kept his fascinated glance con- , . . , , g , ., I 1 P , liquor more treacherous thnn the cherry initially fixed on the little old man and , , r n ,. , . . . , 1 ir ii 11 brandy ol Rose, did not long resist the never dreamed of once looking out of the c r.. 1 , . 1 1 .. ... , . . 1 . i . fumec of this celebrated vintage, lie lei I windows to see in what direction the . ., . , , .

Oswald uttered n cry of surprise, his mysterious guide 1 iwered the carriage sashes: nnd the student for ihe first lime perceived that they rolled over tho pave ment of a great city of Berlin tho cap ital of t'.r kingdom of Prussia. They had accomplished fifty leagues in a few min utes. The carriago drove up in the court yard ol a sumptuous mansion. At the foot of the great stairway woio drawn u: in respectful order two ranks of sorvniit's j in splendid liicrv who advanced I j receive i iheir new master, Oswald fancied himself in a dream, he looked tt himself in the coach win low , and perceived that li s eyes were nctualU open, and observed nt the same time that the poor student's garb hid given place to a magnificent costume. As to his compan ion hn was already out of thecarriage and lowering the steps as he ullercd: Will my lord deign to lean upon the shoulder of his unworthy steward and do scend from his carriage?" Oswald got out. "My lord's dinner is served," ndded tho rdrango steward. Oswald followed him proceeded lv hit servants, he entered a vestibule flagged wiih marble, cios.sel several rooms where in art and opulence had united to realize tlie wildest dreams of the stu lent, and co lored ihe fining hall. A table arranged v iih every luxury and with tho most refined elegance supplied but a single cover. Oswald placed him j self al tho table, the steward suddenly clad I ill a iroreeous liverv liolil himself in rradi- R()l city of Ileidn berir When the student n woke, ho was in bed in a small but exquisitely elegant cham ber shaded with rich and heavy cur tains. A solitary sunbeam played upon his pil low, n clear bright firo Mazed in tho chimney-pi ace, atid before tho hearth lay ex tended one of thoso magnificent hounds whoso virtues havo boeii sung dv ev ery poet from Rjtmrd to Sir Waller Scott. Oswald was apparently accustomed to all this luxury, for he extended careless ly his hand towards the golden tas sel of a bell and jerked it imperious Tho extraordinary looking steward ap peared: "Does my lord desire his valet do cham ber?" he demanded. "Certainly," said Oswald. Immediately the valet do chambpr ap peared. Ho held in his hand rt salvor of silver gilt; upon this waiter were several letters, which doubtless, had arrived while OswUd was asleep. He took up one its superscription wn.V , , lo' Seigneur Compte Oswald, poet lurcate' of his Majesty the King Prus- el a.' Oswald Icil Ins tic. til a til Willi 'HJc: lie opened it and leid.

Evil thoughts are worse enemies than lions and tigers, for we can keep out of the way of wild hasts, but bad thoughts win their way every where.
