THE BRIDE OF DEATH.
A IitGL'JSD OF SWITZERLAND.
About a year ago, ia the course of my
travels, 1 found myself one evening after
sunset in one of the most mountainous re
gions of Swillerland. I bad lost my way
and was vainly seeking the path by vhicb
I bad come, in order to return Jut then
the moon, rising like a silver crescent from
Lake .'irish, threw a pal glimmer on the
iey summits ef the distant glaziers, liy its
light I diseovered what appeared to he the
path I sought. I walked hastily that I
might soon reach the village where I intend
ed te pass tbat night.
Tbe solitary gloom around made me re
double my ao. I descended from moun
tain to mountain, and scrambled from rock
to rock as well as the darkness would per
mit. After slipping down half a duz.n
times, and encountering various difjieu li. a,
I felt pretty well used up, aud discovered
that I had lost my way.
Hoping that some solitary cottage would
perhaps atford sbe.ter to a lost and weary
traveller, 1 toiled on, though not without
great danger. Impenetrable ledges ex
tended before me like daik clouds; trees
that bad dieted for ages stood single and
erect like speetres, ihe moon shooting her
pale rays through their moaning branches.
A deathly sbadder ruu through my veins
After long and fruitless wauderings I strayed
iato a huiall footpath, over whose sides
hung huge masses of rocks which threaten
ed every moment to crush me by their fall.
After a long and tedious walk I reached
a sudden bend iu the path which led to a
deep ravine. Keyoud this a huge mountain
loomed up in Ibo distanoe At the foot of
it appeared a but iu which alight still
glimmered. To cross over to it wu simply
impossible; one false step and I should be
dashed to pieces ia tbe abyss beneath. To
reaoh it by any other road was out of the
question ; for an endless chain of jagged ,
cliffs stretched out like a barrier before me.:
Compelled therefore lo decide on remain
ing for the night iu the open air, 1 tried to
liud some plaeu where I could sleep without
riakiug ray life by a fall into tho yawning
chasm bcueath. My vali-e i.'rved as a pil j
low, and as the moon now shona brightly I j
Could sec by my watch that it was near,
midnight.
I was tired as a dog and soon fell into a'
slumber from which I was aroused by the
sound ef footsteps. I listeuod, but all u
silent. I began to think it an illusion, and
was just composing mjself to ;.lc again,
when 1 heard a voice close by um singing j
Tbe tones were thoso of a young girl,
and the trembling accents seemed to pro j
seed from a heart oppressed by sorrow. II
rose softly ami discovered that she was
kneeling on tho ground gathering plants
which she placed iu a basket besidu her
lo answer to the question whether she
could Dot direct me to some but in whioh I
could pass tbe night, she very kindly point
ed out that of her parents, the oue that I
bad previously noticed.
We toon raaohed a mountain torrent
across whiob was a banging bridge. Shu
glided lightly over it, and when at a short
dutanoe truui the hut, liuquired:
"Are yon not afraid to bo out alono in
this wild place at this time of bight?"
"O, no I my heart feels no fear. It is
for my William who is dangerously ill, and
ia the hope of saving his lilo I would re
main out all night iu a far mora lonesome
and dangerous place."
"But why gather these herbs at mid
oifbt!" 1 inquired in surprise.

and led ine to him. He was remarkably
handsome, with fine, expressive eyes aud a
noble countenance. He held out bis band
to me for a long time without apeakiag aud
then pressed the poor girl to his beait.
As I bad formerly paid seme little atten
tion to medicine snd I tried to find what
waa tbe matter with him, but he evidently
tried to avoid couwraaiion, shook his bead
with a smile and laid his hand on his heart.
My attempts to ascertain the eauie of his
illness were in vain, but as it struck me he
was not dangerou-ly ill, I ventured to pre
dict a speedy recovery.
Lisetie enred my hand and pressed it
fervently, thanking ma for the consolation
I off. red. The invalid ouly shook his head
with a faint nnile.
8oon after he glanced to ard the window,
fixing his cyce aiidiy ou oue spot, lie then
looma at me, uis countenance still paler
than before, and said trembling and iu so
low a voice thai neither, the old wotuan uor
Li-ette could hear bin:
"Il w ill aoou tc over!'1
There was something very mysterious in
the young man's cmduot, arid I hardly
knew what te mnke of it myself. I was too
tired to thiuk; so 1 begged my venerable
host to show mo to my room. A bed and
a wardrobe was til it contained Before I

"Who's there!" I cried.
Paying no atlcnlhn to my question, tbe
figure walked slowly up to tho old wardrobe,
opened it, seemed lor a long time to be
seeking sometl.iiii: within it, and at last
brou-rnt out a white bundle. She, for tho
appearance was that of a woman, ut, folded
it, and I perceived di-tinetly tbat it was a
winding sheet Sue looked at it soma uuu
Utes, bowed lier bead turco limes, reiotucu
it, placed it agaiu in the wardrobe, whioh
she locked, and theu left tbe room as softly ;
as she h td entered.
1 was nut afraid, for fear was a sensation !
I had uevrr experienced; but I must say I
f it a s Tt of cold shuddering creeping over
me. Indeed 1 was not certaiu but that 1

drobe. It was bolted. However, I open-'d j
it. and looked in, but it was aarK, auu i i
aw nothing thai could give mc any cxpla- I

"Nonsense:!" sa d I to 1'ivself. "it was

again to sleep; bu! I found this impossible,

"Ala! in v dear sir, it wa tho "Iiride

a bad sign some of us will soon die."
" I bis is a warning then," said I, -baking

"I want you to be kind to Lisette," he
said, "tor my time on eartb ia short. To-'.

Soon she commenced a song so sweet and

dreamed that 1 saw the maiden who held
me iu her arms struggle for me with Liaette.
Poor girl! cLe was soon overpowered, and
; I saw team ttreamiug from her ayrs. She
looked at me for a uio.nent, and tl.en with
a deep-drawn fiL'h disappeared. All around
was ploom. and soon the stratum nnriaritinn

Iu a few moments I awoke. Daylight

laid me in the coffin. Presently her fea-
