She was a brilliant brunett, with abun datit raven .hair, and wore the Spanish veil and mWtilla, which he hadassum-' nd for the occasion, with all the grace of a daughter of Andelusia. Her compan ion, a noble ScotchEarl of sorue two or three and twenty, arrayed as a warrior of Mary Stuarfs, in Scotch plaid-and highland bonnet and feather, had been purfcuing the fair unknown all the even ing with protestions of love and eternal fidelity. His answer was prompt and unhesitating. Yes, 1 swear it. If I die I will dream of you in the sepulcher. and a thrill of joy will welcome you if your foot but press the gra?s over my head.' If I should die V enquired the young girl, in a sad tone. If you should die. I will be as faithful to vou dead as living, if you should be permitted to visit me, I will kiss your mid hand with as much love as at this moment,' and he pressed to his lips the little vvhite hand ot l6 Deumui Span iard. Ah well. I permit you then to love me. We shall so jf you will be con- temed. Farewell, we shall tnet again. But where ? when V demanded the Earl; anxiously ' I cannot tell. Perhaps hereperhaps elsewhere .'. Iiut'you will see me.' And. with a gesture which forbade him to follow her, she disappeared in the crowd. '51. Two years passed away, during which' Earl -Ralph Mof tort-roughr-'vaiof J w at MarlyV at' "Versailles, "in every place of. public? resort, for his "fceautifnl un known. ' He was a. Scot chin air by birth, and like many of his countrymen, bad entered the service of the king of France, liul a court life did not compare very well with his slender fortune, and he be came, ere Ion deeply involved in debt. You must find some rich heiress,' and sympathizing friends. It was the usual resource of embarrassed gentlemen of that day. But the Earl had cot forgot ten the lewiiching Andalusian, and he was in no mood for the search. He was spared the trouble however His uncle, who was Archbishop of an Assyrian ci'y destroyed by the Romans, informed him one dajthat it was time for him to mar ry, and that he hadfoond a wife for ; himl ,ls sh"e rich V inquired Ralph, ''Ido not ask if she is pretty, it is all the same lo me.' -Very rch. and very pretty,' , r f, "Tie Karl thought of his unknown and sighed ; henihought of hcreditors and consented. The uncle arranged every d wherTall wa tet'lled'he c'.ue the nephew his benedictiorran(ftwo hun dred pistoles, and sent him off to Bur gundy, to pay bis ref'pects to Mademois- elle de Roche N"ire, wnom he was to marry in a fortnight.' . u 'A gloomy journey of several days' du ration brought him at length to the'an cjent feudal manor-house 'of Roche Noire, VrfWted in the" heart of a forest; ori a lef ty rock, from which it derived its.nam, He was expected.1 The ground door of the mansion was open, and an aged ser vant met him at the thtesholdf and, con ducted' him to a large hall, at the ex tremity of which sat, an old man and young, girl. The former, whom he di vined at once lo be the Baron of Roche Moire, rose at his. entrance, and. saluted him in the somewhat formal manner of the day, presented him to his daughter Herrainne,. The latter had the volup teous beauty of the flower which had un folded under a southern sun. She , was pale, with fair. hair; and eyes of the deep blue of an. Italian sky. Her figure was rich but 'graceful, her hands exquisitely shaped, and transparent as alabaster. So much the Earl saw as he bent before his betroihed, and in spite of his profes sed indifference, he inwardly congratula ted himself on his good fortune. -The Earl and the" Baron exchanged the usual reciprocal compliments and en quires. - Ralph was; accustomed to socie ty, and understood the art of making himself agreeable ; the Baron, spite of bis seventy winters, had not forgotten to be a courtier, and Herminne had the simple grace and dignity, the modesty wilhout prudery, of a young girl of ;her birth, religiously educated, Dut without rigidityi' The conversation soon became animated and sparkling, while Ralph watched Herminne, and now and then whispered tov himself. 'She is charming! Blessings on my uncle for finding me a wife at ence so pretty and so rich.' When supper was announced he offer ed his hand to the young girl, who ac cepted it with a blush, while the 'Baron led the way to the dining room. It'was a lofty apartment, furnished in the mas sive style of Louia XIV, and upon the walls 1 were suspended ancient family portraits.. As Ralph's eye glanced over these it were attracted by one whose freshness formed a striking contrast to the smoky canvass devoted 'to the de funct Barons of Roche Noire. It repre sented a young girl of dazzling, but for eign beauiy.lsuch a3 is':only found under Southern skies. A more brilliant daugh ter of Spain never' danced the balcza in the perfumed gardens of the Alhambra. The eyes of Ralph were fixed immova bly on the canvass ; the first glance told him that it was his long-lost unknown at the fancy ball. ! ' Come, my dear Earl,' said the Ba ron, 'let us be seated.' Ralph started and obeyed, turning" his eyes from the portrait tc Herminne. In contrast with that glowing beauty she appeared to him utterly insipid. He made some ; remark : about the picture. The Baron did not reply,' but a cloud passed over his face, and Herminue turned; pale and, sat silent, with downcast eyes! , A chill seemed to be thrown, over those three persons, just now talking, so joyously. Brief remarks were made oc casionally, in a constrained voice, and the supper ended almost in silence.- At its close the Earl made the fatigue of his journey ,ati excuse for retiring early. As the servant was conducting him to his apartment,) they passed again through the dining ball. Whose, portrait is this?:he asked, pointing to the portrait, of the lady.-4 The servant hesitated. 'Speak !' said the Earl imperiously. . 'It isVthe portiail" of 5 Mademoiselle Fulmen,', said the old man, trembling. 'And who is she V ' , "The elder ' eis'ter of Mademoiselle Herminne.1 - But she, is dressed in Spanish cos tume.' . : 'Yes ; her mother was a Spanish lady.' And Fulmen, vhere is she?' Jtai She is dead,' said the old man, sol emnly ; he lies at the left of the altar in he chapel of the castle.' ' Fatigue had .no power that night to bring sleep to Ralph's eyelids. It was in vain that he extmguisbed the, candles, aud hurled his head under the blankets; the imnge of Fulmen still pursued him. Now, it was Fulmen adiant with beau ty, as she wis represented in thp pic ture.'and as he had seen her at the fancy ball-; again it was. FulmeA pale and cold, extended in herUofEn.' under . the pave ment of the chapel. Then he remem bered his oath to love her as wellhead as living, and a cojd sweat bathed'bis brow. At that moment (a' light at the "opposite extremity of the apartment at tracted his attention, a door whose exis tence he had not expected, turned noise lessly on its hingps; the cindles relight ed 'them&elveswfntaneously, and a fig ure, draped in a winding sheet, entered tbe roomH and approached , his bed. It advanced slowly') no sound of footsteps. Brave as he was.-the Earl trembled at the: apparition . When the figure was within a few feet of the bed. the winding sheet was thrown. back, and levealed a young. girl dressed in Spanish costume. 'Fulmen, he murmured 'the picture 1 has descended from us frame. It was indeed Fulraen, just as'she was painted, save that the lips, were pale, ihe eyes mournful, the whole expression un speakably sad. . ' Fulmen!' repeated the Earhwith a tone of terror, in which was mingled a sort of feverish joy. . ' ', ..It is I, she said; 'dofyou remember your oath? They have told you that I am dead.' .. : - The leeth of Ralph:chattered", but the voice was so pure, so melodious, that it aided him t shake. orT the torpor -thai was creeping over him- . Z'No you are not dead, he .exclaimed with an effort. ; 'I have been dead a. year,' replied Ful men sadly. 'They buried ; me in the chapel. . Yu.can read my epitaph on the marble slab, the third from the high al- Ltar.' Ralph could not detach his eyes from this singular creature, whose marvelous beauty counteracted in some degree the terror which the apparition would other wise have caused. 'Alas!' resumed the spectre, drawing the shroud about her form with all the coquetry with which a living belle might wrap an opera cloak around her, 'I am dead, really, dead at seventeen when life was full of light, and perfume, and music; : when tears, even, were so sweet that , they resembled smiles ; when the present was so happy that the future was quite forgotten ; and then I loved you, I trusted rin your oath; but you did not care for me. You have come hero to marry my sister. Fulmen !' murmured Ralph, who felt a pans of remorse at his heart, 'I have loved you love you still." . ,; . She shook her head. . 'The dead are never loved,'. Ehe said, sadly. . : - .- . .-. - . Y v Ralph trembled. He felt his blood curdle in his veins. He remembered his oath. Yet, Fulmen did ,not complain. She did not overwhelm; him with re proaches. She seemed resigned. He saw her lean her head on her hand, a tear shone in her eye, and a shiver pass ed through her frame. I am cold.' she said, and. rising from the chair in which he had seated her self, she approached the fireplace, and bent as if to warm herself by the half extinguished brands. 'The dead are al ways cold,' she murmujed. . Heavens!' exclaimed Ralph, 'you. are not dead ; but, dead or. living, you are beautiful, more beautiful than any living woman and I love as on the day I first saw you.' - f 'The dead are never loved,' she re peated, mournfully. But you are not dead. Thelimbof the dead are rigid ; the flesh corrupt; they cannot walk, they cannot speak ; you are not dead it is impossible' . I am dead,' repeated Fulmen, in a tone of authority which admitted of no question ; 'dead, and yet I suffer.' 'You suffer V the Earl exclaimed. 'Yes. Because I die with a guilty thought in my heart. I remembet the ball where I met you. It was earthly love, not penitence, that engrossed my last hours. Yet if you who are alive can love me still, God will perhaps pardon me, and I shall suffer no longer.' ' 'I do love you,' cried Ralph, gazing at the young girl so beautiful in her sad ness. Yet a secret voice said Within : i Ah ! if she were only alive. ' A pale smile passed over the phan tom. It rose and advan'ced toward him. Ralph involuntarily shrunk back at its approach. - 'You see,' she said mournfully, 'it is always so, the living fear ihe dead.' 'No, no !' said he eagerly, ashamed of the momentary le.rror, 'no. Fulmen, my beloved, come.' She extended her hand and took that of the young man. Ralph uttered aery. His hand was pressed by the cold, clam my fingers of a corpse. She let his hand fall. . 'No,'he repeated, m a half-suffocated voice, 'you see it cannot be; 1 shall suf fer always.' r . ; And she fled, while Ralph was so overpowered that he had no power to speak or move. The candles went out suddenly; silence reigned again in' the chamber, th phantom had vanished. The next day dawned bright and beau tiful. Tbe Baron de Roche Noirewho did nrt appear to notice the palor and abstrnction of the guest, proposed a hunt. The day was spent in the open air, and if the Earl thought of the occurrences of the last night, they seemed lo him only as a bewildered dream. But with the return of darkness and especially at the sight of the picture, the apparition again seemed a reality, and he determined to ascertain the truth. Pleading a' .head ache, he retired to his room, and extin guishing 'the candles, he called softly : Fn'lmon ' K'nliripn !' Thprp mn nn nn. Fulmen ! Fulmen swer. Again he called, 'Fulmen, I love you, though dead.' Immediately the candles were relight ed, and' Fulmen again appeared. She threw f.'fT'her winding sheet, and seated herself in a chair by his side. Her face had thec;idavercu3 paleness of the tomb; hr eyes were sad ; her steps slow and painful ; yet her exquiite.beauty exert ed the same fascination over him as when sparkling with life and vivacity. Fulmen. I love yod !' he repeated; gazing at her wiih admiration. Yet if my hand should touch your?,' she replied, with a sad smile, jyou would utter a cry"as you did last night; the dead are always cold. 'Give me your hand ar.d you will see said Ralph.' extending his own. She took it, and again there came over hrm the same terrible sensations as before, but he had self-control enough to con quer it. and again to repeat, 'I love you!' A bright smile illuminated .the. fea tures of Fulmen. - , My poor friend,' said she. 'I would gladly believe you ; . but if your love would end my suffering," it must be so profound, so ardent, that it- can conquer even ihe desire, to live. A tomb with me must have attractions for you, aod you are but twenty-five. At your age life is sweet. ' - The Earl shook his head.- To live without you is death ; to be united to you, even in the . tomb, would be life.' , , - . ....... 'Take care,- my friend.' Of what, dear Fulmen ?' exclaimed Ralph, over whom the smile of the young girl seemed to exercise an overpowering fascination Do you know,' she said, 'that if you utter such a wish God may hear your prayer. - 'Ah, if he would. An eternity by your side would be infinite happiness.' Ralph, my friend.' interrupted Ful men. while a smile of celestial joy shone in her face ; 'take care, you wiil. die if you love rae ' ... I wiih to die.' But you are betrothed to my sister.' An exclamation of anger escaped him. 'I hate her !' he said, vehemently. Why ?' .'Because she is alive, while you are dead. What has she done that ihe should enjoy the light of the sun, the perfume of. flowers,' the melody of birds? : Was she any younger or more beautiful?' Ralph, you are -unjust. My sister had no control over her destiny or mine.' 'You are right, perhaps, but I swear to you that I will never marry Herminne. I wish to be yours, and only yours, for ever.' 'You are mad, my friend; I cannot accept happiness at such a sacrifice.' She rose slowly. Adieu, Ralph, she said. 'Marry Herminne and pray for me.' 'Fulmen, Fulmen !' exclaimed Ralph, falling on his knees at her feet. 'Do not abandon me. Hove you.' 'But your love is death.' i 'It is happiness it is life !' His tone was so earnest, so touching, that the young girl hesitated. 'Let me live eternally with" you,' he persisted. Listen, my friend,' she said at length, as if s-he could no longer resist his en treaties. 'In this casket,' pointing to a richly carved x which stood on the ta ble, 'there is . phial containing a dark liquid.' And this liquid ?' 'Is'deaih.' It is happiness,' exclaimed Ralph, seizing the casket. Fulmen then stopped him by gesture. Not yet, by and by, at midnight; but first reflect.' Immediately the candles were extin guished and he found hira-ielf in com plete darkness. . - - If Earl Ralph had been a French man, as soon as Fulmen disappeared he would have opened the window and let tbe cool night air play upon his brow. When the fever fit being over, he would have said to himself, 'All this is folly. I am twenty-five years old, an officer in the King's service, and am about to mar ry a young girl, blond as'a Madonna, fair as a lily, who will bring me an in come of one hundred thousand livres. I have only to be quiet and let things take their course.' After which he would have slept qui etly, and dreamed no more of Fulmen But Ralph was a Scotchman, with an im agination as susceptible of exaltation as any of his countrymen As soon as the phantom vanished, he relighted the can dle by the aid of a half extinguished fire brand, and, opening the casket he took cut the phial. : : Fulmen! Fulmen! wait for me! I am coming !' he murmured, and swal lowed the contents at a draught. For a moment he experienced a sirange nnd inexplicable sensation; a coldness in the chest ; a heat in the head ; then his eyes became heavy ; his limbs trerrbled; an extreme languor stole over him, and he sank upon the floor, still murmuring faintly, 'Fulmen, wait 'for me I love you.' When Ralph swallowed the contents of the phial he expected to awake in the othr world. ..-He was mistaken. - The phial contain ed only . a. narcotic, and he was very much astonished on opening bis eyes to find himself in bed,. and to see the sun shin ing through the curtained windows. A lady sat by his bedside. It was Fulmen ! but no longer the pale, sad Fulmen. with livid lips ard form enveloped in a wind ing sheet; but Fulmen. fresh, radiant, joyous, in the same costume ehe wore at the fancy ball. ; The reader will . understand the ex planation of this more readily than the young Earl, whose head was still some what confused . from the effects of the narcotic. The young girl had wished to put the sudden passion of her ball room lover to the test; and with some diffi culty she : had. persuaded her fond old father and her cousin, Herminne to lend themselves to the mystification. A little ingenuity, xjme invisible assyctance. n transparent glove of serpent skin, aided by the native suporstition of the young Scotchman, were all that was necessary lo the success of the scheme. We need not say thai the Earl, when he recovered bis senses, was very glad to exchange his phantom bride for a liv ing one. , - Subscribe for the Advehtisxr. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Sumner.-1 A public man sometimes becomes so public that his private affairs cemmind a publicity which it would be an alTeci'! tioa ; of the press riot lo notice, , Hence I.seod you the following: ' Not two years ago, the long-;fD0n bachelor, Charles- Sumner, became a benedict. A highly educated, aad, in many respects, an accompliahed man, of good manners, and belter appearance, naturally enough, he stood high among1 the ladies of Boston, and he had no dif ficulty in winning the hand of a wido (from cne of the F. F. of Boston.) who sacrificed no inconsiderable jointure in marrying him. The honeymoon had all the apparent charm that honeymoons usually have, when Mrs. Sumner went with her husband to Washington, and new scenes ensued. . Among the accomplished men com posing the Diplomatic Corps 'in Wash ington was Baron IJoIstein of Prussia, whom the Prussian King had. attached to ihe Prussian Legation there "to ipy out the land." Naturally enough, he courted the acquaintance of Charles Sumner, the Chairman of tha Committee on Foreign Affairs iu the Senate who. at a dinner party introduced his wife to the Baron, and who was placed b-ivde her at dinner. An acquaintance ensued, and a friendship followed, such a3 natu rally and honorably springs op between the sexes with kindred tastes acd aspira tions. The Baron attended to the lady in matinees and soirees, arid in other public places, and . occasionally escorted her from the Senate, where both had been to hear the'Sena'or speak. Mr. Sumr.cr, becomirg displeased with the acquaintanceship it ennnnt be properly call d intiinicy wrote a letter to Baron Hols'ein, m which, while complaining of it, r-pr:r: siys hs 'n;i.r.uied something not h-juor.iWe to his wife. The Biroa wrote hick d Inter, in wh?ch, ia sub stance, he said there was no causa of offense whatever he had been polite to Madame, as he was to other ladies of similar accomplishment, and nothing" had ever happened which propriety or good taste forbade. But if the Senator was not satisfied with that, he was ready to give him any such satisfaction a3 a man of honor demanded. This correspondence was the begin ning and end of part first, but Mr. Sum ner, report says, then became cool to his wife, and the lady and the B.tron be came more reserved in their intercourse. Then Mr. Sumner, as Chairman of our Committee of Foreign Affairs, wrote to the Prussian Minister of Foreign Af fairs, the distinguished Bismarck, that if he (B ) would recall the Baron, he (Si) would be obliged. The adrcit Bismarck yielded to the potential position of the American Chairman of Foreign Affairs, and the Baron was recalled to Berlin. Mrs. Sumner became acquainted with this correspondence, and, naturally enough, was indignant beyond all power of description. Her indignation natu rally rested upon that part of the corre spondence which, it was alleged, touched her honcr.
