X BT SALLIS M. BRYAN. "Abd 'twas well that when she died They made Maud a grave beside The blue pulses of the tide.” Sleep thou by the stone 1 sea Though my heart should break for thee. Idol early lost to me, Lovely Leonore. Spirits of the dark blue wave All the night watch o'er thy grave, Lest the winds that rudely rave. Wake thee, Leonore. And the angels of the sky, Bending from the stars, reply; She is blessed now! why sigh, Fated Leonore? Oh, thy mournful brow was fair, And the fatal genius there Was so splendid and so rare, Mv poor Leoaoic. Orten in the lonely night. Comes there, through the misty light. Some pale form, in robes of white, Like thee, Leonore. Sadness on the cold brow lies, And the mournful, hazel eyes Gaze all tearful on the skies— Wherefore, Leonore? 1 have planted o’er thy grave Fairest flowers—but soon the wave, Rising, swept them to some cave From thee, Leonore. Ah, while thou wert doomed to weep, Thus did fate’s black billows sweep Passion-buds from o’erthy deep. Young bosom, Leonore. So sleep on beside the sea — It were well if all, likethek, Rested now as peacefully, Gifted Leonore. I POOH MARY ANN. This young lady was a choice specimen , of the class of women who doat on horrors. .. 7n personal appearance she was anything but sentimental-looking, forshe was short j and fat, and had a round chubby face. — I The only peculiarity in her countenance [ that excited marked notice was rather wild twinkle in her eyes, even when she was quiet, but when excited they rolled with rather alarming rapidity. Although a robust young woman, she was the most timid of creatures starting I bistericly if her own shadow caught her view, and almost shrinking if she heard the slightest sound. Iler nerves were in a perpetual twitter, as if ar. invisible galvanic battery were constantly pouring its stream of mysterious agitation upon every member of her body. Around, above, and about her the air! was peopled with grim demons, bearing off unlucky mortals to terrble undiscover-: ed bournes. Eyes of all colors, shapes, and lustre, peopled the atmosphere of her bed room; horrible monsters, mankind and beast-kind, gamboled on the floor, and slimy creeping things, with light in ! their heads, to show their ugliness, craw - j led along the walls, and bung in clusters on her bed curtains; yea, even brightly 1 spotted snakes twisted themselves up the coveHet, and breathed hotly upon her face; and loathsome skeletons, in the gray of the morning, danced polkas, and performed other profane tricks, while sometime* the sweet full moon would pour its light through some vapory human ghost that with extended arm beckoned her menacingly to follow. Thus tortured in the night, she arose in the morning full of the terrors of an imagination frightfully productive of horrors,. It was highly illustrative of the peculiar organization of her mind that she never was troubled with any supernatural visitations from anything that was beautiful or good. No maiden all white smiled angelically upon her slumbers; nonice young man cut off in the bloom of manhood ever stood before her, with a bright gold ring in one hand, and the other pointing to a quiet ivy-clad church not far off, with a thrilling expression in a pair of deep brown eye.-, sufficient to warm the heart of the coldest coquette. No, all her visions were gloomy, slimy, of bad and nasty things on earth, and others which fear had placed deep in its bowels. Such was Miss Mary Ann Jenkins when we knew her first, and for a long time she was a mystery to us—apiece of mortality having something about her indescribably fearful— .something disguised in flesh and blood for no good object, we thought.— But when we became more accustomed to her society, and had studied her character a little, we found her to be one of those poor self-made miser-ole women who, having first swallowed the marvelous, had gradually provoked her appetite, u .til she ravenously bolted the horrible, .id that with her eyes wide open and her stock of common sense in an active state. This monomania embittered her exts

| tenc« and frequently caused her grievous i misery, besides involving her in many i ludicrous scrapes. I On occasion she entered a store for the purpose of making some purchases; but no sooner caught the eye of the young man who bustled forward to serve her, I than she staifed back from the counter, and pointing to the amazed clerk, exchiimied in heart-piercing tones, ‘Those eyes, I’ll swear to them! they were in my chamber last night!’ Avaunt, deceiver! thou ■ hast no powers over me!’ I The decorous establishment of Messrs. Elam and Bam stood aghast at such an i unequivocal declaration, and the unoffend- . ing clerk would have been dismissed on' the spot had he not satisfactorily proved] an uffii. But the incident afforded so i much food for mirth to his companions that he was ultimately obliged to resign his comfortable situation and betake himself to a lawyer. Miss. Jenkins, actI ing upon sage legal advice, compromised j the matter at cost which caused her ever j after to look upon a merchant’s clerk as a I villian disguised in good clothes and good looks to entrap the innocent and unwary. I But the most serious adventure in which she was concerned was a love affair which caused her the most acute anguish, for she loved the object of her choice with a devotion unparalleled except in the pages of a romance of the Monk Lewis school. His partiality for ; her was of n soberer description, but [ strongly fortified by his knowledge of the I property she possessed. ■ Her courtship was progressing smoothi iy and satisfactorily enough until a dread- ■ I ful case of a muider of a wife by her ■ husband came under her notice, and ef- ' fectually banished from her crazy head j all notions of matrimony. The newspa- , j pers described the man as a handsome, ' i well- dressed scoundrel, and the industri- i I ous writer had taken such pains with the ] [personal appearance of the murderer that [he actually gave a minute description of ‘ j Lis eyes, ‘they were,’said the accurate ; scribe, those kind of visual organs usually ' found in men of genius who have devot- ( ed their talents to the vilest and basest ( purposes. Their color was so varying • and shifting, that it was impossible to ( tell what color they were; one minute 1 they were deep blue, the next, gray or ha- ‘ zi-1, and sometimes of a fiery red—but 1 . never the same long; and their gaze was 1 ever indirect, looking always above or ' below, never at an object. They were the ] : most sinister pair of eyes that ever gleam- i ; ed in a mortal’s bead, and the most unso- ’ phisticated judge of human nature must have instinctively felt that their owner 1 was every inch a villian.’ This description powerfully affected [ ; Miss Jenkins, and, after a few more in- • terviews, she became satisfied that her ’ I lover s eyes were of the same kind, be- ■ cause they were those half-gray, half-blue [ eyes that reflect a good deal of light, and are ussually to be found in men of volatile dispositions. She shuddered upon making the fatal discovery, and resolved to break off all connection with a man who carried such detestable evidences of his character in his head. But the lover was not to be got rid of so easily. He implored, he entreated, and at last, finding all bis importunities useless, complained loudly of her shameful breach of promise, and, threatening exposure, Miss Jenkins was fain obliged to make the mercenary fellow a pecuniary compensation. This blow paralysed her, for upon an examination of her, heart she found she really loved the man ; but then, the thought of wedding an ogre, or a vampire, or a ruffian who would not scruple to hand her out of the world in some dreadful and undiscoverable manner, was sufficient to frighten all lingering fondness out of her. She sunk into a moping slave to her fears, i and at thirty was found dead in her bed ’ with marks of extreme horror strongly I depicted on her countenance. The death of this silly young woman suggests food for grave thought. How many women like her lead a miserable - existence through an early neglect of the 1 culture of their understandings, and as- ■ terwards being permitted to gratify a morbid taste, which, in course of time, morally and mentally unfits them for the performance of the great duties of life. I The abstract quality of fear is natural and useful to the sex, but thatcravanfeel- , ing which saps the foundation of all confidence and reliance upon self is an acquired di“ease frightfully exasperative of others. It is the child of ignorance and ■ neglect, and the promoter of imbecility. I A woman so afflicted is liable to be an un- [ dutiful daughter, a bad wife, a careless I mother, and a worthless member of society. All her energies are relaxed, her mind unfitted for the reception of sound ■ and useful knowledge, her morals untuned and her whole nature weak and disordered.
