A PORTRAIT.
Ambition rules his soul
It is his master passion ; though his heart
Answers spontaneously the frequent calls
Made by compassion and humanity,
And from his hand the ready tribute flows.
Nature designed him not for selfish things :
He was not formed to coldly calculate,
And weigh each rising feelitig in the scale
Of policy and prudence; but the world
Has done its work on his aspirin mind.
There are some traits of innate nobleness,
Some gleams of natural feeling, which break forth
At intervals, when for a moment he
Is off his guard as if 'twere but to show
That where all faults are not all hidden, there
Virtue shines out more brightly. Tis his aim
To have no enemies ; and it may be
That he has fewer than his fellow men.
To please, is the sole study of his life
The same to all, on all alike he smiles ;
But its not for a smile to wiu a heart.
Moments there are when it may be the dupe
Of its own fancy, in the deep romance
Of youthful feeling and credulity.
But still there must be something to support
Imagination's power ; it will not hold
Its empire o'er a vision long. Life's dreams
Are changeful things : they wear a thousand
shapes
In their fantastic visits ; anJ without
Some slight foundation in reality,
They are the very essence of caprice
Taking from one, the qualities they gave,
To fix them on another, till they meet
With something to fill up their emptiness,
And turn them to those deep consuming thoughts '
Which feed upon the heart. j
His is the power
To charm the fancy, and to fill the mind
With images of beauty not to hold !
Tne silent thoughts in bondage. Would he thus
Unlock the springs of feeling, he must feel.
And yet what matters it, while still he bows
At fashion's shrine : many its votaries :
And while he mingles in the giddy train,
W hat. need is there of nature ? 'Tis enough
To learn ihe lesson, and to act the part.
He is not what he might be. He withholds
The confidence which could impart a charm
To conversation, and reflects too much
On what he means to say before he speaks.
He trusts no word on the free winds but such
As might be safely blown throughout the world.
And when we seek for candour, we but find
Caution and cold reserve ; and friendship feels
Her warmth congealed, and, calm and passionless,
Loses, beneath his glance, her strength and power.
Honour, and principle, and truth, are his;
And polish, and refinment, and good sense;
But every thing is studied ; and in vain
We look to read the heart each avenue
Is closely guarded with a vigilance
Unequalled. Art is baffled still by art.
Prudence stands sentinel at every turn,
And those who know him best, still know him not.
His step is on the ladder which leads up
To-fortune and to fame ; nor will he stoop
Even for happiness, till he has wou
The destined goal.
Bright are thy gilded dreams,
Oh yain ambition! but too soon they break
Like ocean's sparkling waves, upon the shore.
Yet still, thy ignis-fatus light lures on
Unnumbered followers, who spend their youth
In grasping at a shadow ; till at last
And sickened, and disgusted, and surprised,
They turn and find the phantom they pursued
Was disappointment. Estelle.
MISCELLANEOUS.
THE MYSTERIOUS WEDDING.
A DANJ8JI STORY BY STF.FFEX3.
On the i.orih side of Zealand stretches a
small fertile peninsula, studded with ham
lets, and connected with the main land by
a narrow strip of waste ground. Beyond
the only town which this little peninsula
possesses, the land runs out into the stormy
Catlcgal, and presents an awfully wild and
sterile appearance. The living sands have
here obliterated every trace of vegetation ;
and the hurricanes which blow from all
points of the ocean, are constantly operating
a change on the fluctuating surfrce of the
desert, whose hills of sand rise "and fall with
a motion as incessant as that of the waves
which roar around them. In travelling
through this country, I spent upwards of an
hour in this district, and never shall I forget
the impression which the scene made upon
mj mind.
While riding along through the desolate
region, a thunder-storm rose over the ocean,
towards tiie north ; the waves roared, the
clouds scudded along in gloomy masses be
fore the wind, the sky grew every instant
more dark, " menacing earth and sea the
sand began to move in increasing volumes
under my horse's feet, a whirlwind arose
and filled the atmosphere with dust, the tra
ces of the path became invisible, while air,
earth, and ocean seemed mingled and blen
ded together, every object being involved
in a cloud of dust and vapor. 1 could not
discern the slightest trace of life or vegeta
tion around the dismal scene : the storm
roared above me, the waves of the sea lashed
mournfully against the shores, the thunder
rolled in the distance, and scarcely could
the lurid lightning flash pierce the heavy
cloud of sand which whirled around me.
My danger became evident and extreme;
but a sudden shower of rain laid the sand
and enabled me to push my way to the little
town. The storm I had just encountered
was a horrid mingling of all elements. An
earthquake has been described as the sigh
which troubled nature heaves from the
d pth of her bosom ; perhaps not more fan
cifully might this chaotic tempest have ty
pified the confusion of a widely distracted
mind, to which pleasure and even hope
itself have been long strangers, the cheerless
desert of the past revealing only remorse
and grief, the voice of conscience threaten
ing like the thunder, and her awful antici
pations casting a lurid light over the gloomy
spirit, till at last the long-sealed up sour,
ces of tear3 open a way for tbeir floods, and
bury the anguish of the distracted soul be
neath their waves.
In this desolate country, there existed in
former limes a village called Roerwig, about
a mile distant from the shore. The moving
sands have now buried the village : and the
descendants of its inhabitants mostly shep
herds and fishermen have removed their
cottages close to the shore. A single soli
tary building, sitatued upon a hill, yet rears
its head above the cheerless shiftioir desert.
This building, and the village church, was
the scene of the following mysterious trans
action. In an early year of the last century, the
venerable cure of Roerwig, was one nijrht
seated in hi3 study, absorbed in pious medi
tations. His house lav at the extremity of
the village, and the simple manners of the
inhabitants were so little tinged with dis
trust, that bolls and locks were unknown
amongst them, and every door remained
open and unguarded.
The lamp burned gloomily, and the sul
len silence of the midnight hour was only
interrupted by the rushing noise of the sea,
on whose waves the pale moon shone reflec
ted, when the cure heard the door below
opened, and the next moment the sound of
men's steps upon the stair. He was antici
pating a call to administer the last offices
of religion to some one of bis parishioners
on the point of death, when two foreigners,
wrapped up in white cloaks, entered the
room. One of them approaching, addressed
him with politeness : "Sir, you will have
the goodness to follow us iustantly. You
must perform a marriage ceremony ; the
bride and bridegroom are already waiting
your arrival at the church. And this sum,"
here the stranger held out a purse full of
gold will sufficiently recompense you for
the trouble and alarm our sudden demand
has given you."
The cure stared in mute terror upon the
strangers, who seemed to carry something
fearful, almost ghastly, in their looks, and
the demand was repeated in an earnest and
authoritative tone. When the old man had
recovered from his first surprise, he began
mildly to represent that his duty did not
allow him to celebrate so solemn a rite with
out some knowledge of the parties, and the
intervention of those fortnilities required by
law. Tho other stranger hereupon strpt
forward in a menacingaltitude : "Sir,' said
he, you have your choice; follow us and
take the sum we now offer you, or remain,
arid this bullet goes through your head.
Whilst speaking, he levelled his pistol at
the forehead of the venerable man, and cool
ly waited his answer ; whereujxin the cure
rose, dressed himself, and informed his vis
itants who had hitherto spoken Danish, but
with a foreign accent that he was ready to
accompany them.
The mysterious strangers now proceeded
silently through the village, followed by the
clergyman. It was a dark autumn night,
the moon having already set ; but when they
emerged from the village, the old man per
ceived with terror and astonishment that the
distant church was all illuminated. Mean
while his two companions, wrapped in tbeir
white cloaks, strode hastily on before him
through the barren sandy plain. On reach
ing the church, they bound up his eyes; he
then heard a side-door open with a well
known creaking- noise, and felt himself vi
olently pushed into a crowd of people whose
murmuring he heard all around him, while
close beside him some persons carried on a
conversation in a language quite unknown
to him, but which he thought was Russian.
As he stood helpless and blindfolded, he
felt himself seized upon by a man's hand,
and drawn violently through the crowd.
At last the bandage was re moved from his
eyes, and he found himself standing with
one of the two strangers before the altar.
A row of large tapers, in magnificent silver
candlesticks, adorned the altar, and the
church itself was splendidly 'lighted up by a
profusion of candles. The deepest silence
now reigned throughout the whole building,
though the side passages and all the seats
were crowded to excess; but the' middle
passage was quite clear, and he perceived
in it a newly dug grave, with the stone
which had covered it leaning against a
bench. Around him were only male figures,
but on one of the distant benches he thought
he perceived a female form. The terrible
silence lasted for some minutes, during
which not a motion could be detected in the
vast assembly. Thus when the mind is
bent on deeds of darkness, a silt lit gloomy
brooding of soul often precedes the commis
sion of the horrid action.
At last, a man, whose magn incent dress
distinguished him from all the rest, and be
spoke his elevated rank, rose and walked
hastily up to the altar; as he passed along,
his steps resounded through the building,
and every eye was turned upon him, he
appeared to be of middle stature, with broad
shoulders and strong limbs, his gait was
commanding, his complexion of a yellowish
brown, and his hair raven black, bis fea
tures were severe, and his lips compressed
as. if in wrath, a bold aquiline nose
heightened the haughty appearance of his
countenance, and- dark di;iggy brows low
ered over his fiery eyes. lie wore a green
coal, with broad gold braids, and a brilliant
star. The brid, who also approached and
kneeled beside him at the altar, was mag
nificently dressed. A sky blue robe, rich
ly trimmed with silver, enveloped her slen
der limbs, and floated in large folds over
her graceful form, a diadem sparkling with
diamonds adorned her fair hair, the utmost
loveliness and beauty might be traced in her
features, although despair now expressed
itself to them, her cheeks were pale as
those of a corpse, her features unanimaled,
her lips were blanched, her eyes dimmed,
and her arms hung motionless at her side as
she kneeled before the altar; terror seemed
to have wrapped her consciousness as well
as her vital powers in deep lethargy.
The cure now discovered near him an
old ugly hag; in a parti colored dress, with
a blood red turban upon her neaa, wnosioou
gazing wilb an expression of malignant fury
on the kneeling bride; and behind the bride
groom, he noticed a man of gigantic size
ann a gloomy appearance, whose eyes were
fixed immovably on the ground.
Horror-struck by the scene before him,
the priest stood mute for some time, till a
thrilling look from the bridegroom remind
ed him of the ceremony he had come thither
to perform. But the uncertainty whether the
couple he was now about to marry under
stood bis language, afforded him a fresh
source of uneasiness. He ventured, bow
ever, to ask the bridegroom for bis name and
that of his bride : Neander and Feodora,'
was the answer returned in a rough voice.
The priest now began to read the ritual
in faltering accents, frequently stopping to
repeat the words, without however either the
bride or bridegroom appearing to observe
his confusion, which confirmed him in the
conjecture that his language was almost un
known to either of "them. On putting the
question, 'Neander, wilt thou have this wo
man for thy wedded wife?' he doubted
whether he should receive any answer;
but to his astonishment, the bridegroom an
swered in the affirmative with a loud and
almost screaming voice, which rung throug
out (he whole church, while deep sighs
were heard from every quarter of llie build
ing, and a silent quivering like the reflec
tion of distant lightning, threw a transitory
motion over the death-pale features of the
bride. When the priest turned to her with
the interrogatory: 4 Feodora wilt thou have
this man for thy wedded husband ?' the life
less form before him seemed to awake, a
deep convulsive throb of terror trembled on
her cheeks, her pale lips quivered, a passing
gleam of fire shone in her eye, her breast
heaved, a violent gush of tears flooded the
brilliance of her eyes, and the yes" was
pronounced like the scream of anguish ut
tered by a dying person, and seemed to find
a tleep echo in the sounds of grief which
burst from the surrounding multitude. Tiie
bride then sank into the arms of the horrid
old hag, and after some minutes had passed
in awful silence, the pale corpse-like female
kneeled again, as if in a deep trance, and
the ceremony was finished. The bridegroom
now rose and led away the trembling bride,
followed by the tall man and the old wo
man ; the two strangers then appeared again,
and having bound the priest's eyes, drew
him with violence through the crowd, and
pushed him out the door, which they bolted
from within.
For some minutes the old man stood en
deavouriug to recollect himself, and uncer
tain whether the horrid scerre, with nil its
ghastly attendant circumstance?, might not
have been a dream; but when he had torn
the bondage from his eyes, and saw the il
luminated church before him, and heard the
murmuring of the crowd, he was forced to
believe its reality. To learn the issue, he
hid himself in a corner of the building, and
while listening there he heard the murmuring
within grow louder and louder, then it seem
ed as if a fierce altercation arose, in which,
he thought he could recognise the rough
voiceof the bridegroom commanding si'e C6;
a long pause followed, a shot fell, the shriek
of a female voice was heard, which was suc
ceeded by another pause, then followed a
sound of pick. axes which lasted about a
quarter of an hour, after which the candles
were extinguished, the door was flung open,
and a multitude of persons rushed out of
the church, and ran towards the sea.
The old priest now arose from his hiding
place, and hastened back to the village, where
he awoke his neighbours and friends, and
related to them his incredible and marvellous j
adventure ; but every thing which had hith
erto fallen out amongst those simple people,
had been so calm and tranquil, so much
measured by the laws of daily routine, that
they were seized with a very different alarm:
they believed that some unfortunate aceident
had deranged the intt Meet of their beloved
pastor, and it was not without difficulty that
he prevailed on some of them to accom
pany him to the church, provided with picks
and spades.
Meanwhile the morning had dawned, the
sun arose, and os the priest anl ins compan
ions ascended the hill towards the church,
they saw a man-of-war standi! g off from the
shore under full sail towards the north. So
surprising a sight in this remote district,
made bis companions already hesitate to re
ject bis story asolmprobnble, and still more
were they inclined to listen to him when
they saw that the side-door of the church
had been violently burst open. They en
tered full of expectation, and the priest
showed them the grave which he had seen
opened in the night time; it was evident thai
the stone had been lifted up and replaced
again. They, therefore, put their imple
ments in motion, and soon came to a new,
and richly adorned coffin, in which lay the
murdered bride, a bullet had pierced her
breast right to the heart, the magnificent
diadem which she had worn at the altar no
longer adorned her brows, but the distracted
expression of deep grief had vanished from
her countenance, and a heavenlv calm seem-
ed spread over her features. The old man
threw himself down on his knees near the
coffin, and wept and prayed aloud for the
soul of the dead, while mute astonishment
ami horror seized his companions.
The clergyman found himself obliged to
make ibis event instantly known, with all
its circumstances, to bis superior, the bishop
of Zealand ; meanwhile, until he got fur
ther instructions from Copenhagen, he bound
all his friends to secrecy by an oath. Short
ly afterwards a person of high rank, sudden
ly arrived from the capital; he inquired
into all the circumstances, visited the grave,
commended the silence which had been
hitherto observed, and stated that the whole
event must remain forever a secret, threat
ening at the same time with a severe pun
ishment, any person who should dare to
speak of it.
After the death of the priest, a writing
was found in the parochial register, narra
ting this event. Some believed that it might
have some secret connection with the vio
lent political changes which occurred in
Russia, after the death of Catharine and
Peter the first ; but to resolve the deep rid
dle of this mysterious affair will ever be a
difficult, if not impossible task.

lraiSHING Nsts and Seins, made en the above
pa Machiue, can be supplied to dealers in and
consumers of the article, at the low price of 30 cents
per pound for inch meshes. The arrangement of
the mesnes is tae same as in tne nancr -netting the
knot is the common netting knot and the uniform
iiy of the meshes, perfection of;the knots, entire
freedom from slip knots and no possibility of the lr
regular bogging in large seins, as often occurs in
those made by bnnd, make it in all these respects
far superior to nana netting.
Persons wantingSeins are invited to call and ex-
nmine, jn a few days, a specimen of the work at the
