Bentley's Miscellany

the city and people with whom the present anarchy has originated. I have neither love nor respect for the Orleans dynasty (at least for its head), but, under their sway, it is only justice to admit France was free, prosperous, and happy. She has wantonly discarded those blessings from her, and when she has again succumbed to an iron despotism as the sole means of rescuing herself from the internal anarchy and convulsion now daily, hourly threatening her, as will inevitably one day be her fate, she will then turn with regret and wistfulness to that freedom, that inheritance purchased at the price of so much blood and suffering, which she so flippantly and lightly discarded from her."

The subject on which he spoke had momentarily banished from Carl's memory the cause in which it had originated. He now drew the loved form still closer to him as he said:

"Fear not, dearest. Before six weeks at the furthest will have expired, you may look for my return."

She hid her face in his bosom, unconsoled and unconsolable.

"Oh! Carl, ever bear this in remembrance, that you alone are the one great stay in life to me, and were aught of evil to befal you, I should die I should die!"

Gently and unceasingly he sought to calm and reassure her, his efforts not being wholly unsuccessful; for when they parted the following morning at early dawn, and he placed her in her father's arms, though her tears still flowed freely, the forebodings which had so much oppressed her the previous evening had apparently passed away. After a last lingering fond embrace, the artist passed the gate and strode onward, but when lost amid the trees, he turned, a sudden troubled expression crossing his handsome features. Whatever it was, it seemed of a transient nature, as, after a short pause, he again moved forward on his route. He had, however, scarcely proceeded half a mile, when, on reaching a slight eminence from whence the roof of his happy home was visible, he a second time halted, and that same wistful, thoughtful, regretful look once more pervaded his countenance, mingled with something that strongly partook of pain or prescience-perhaps of both. Was he thinking of the sweet and cherished being he had quitted only a few minutes previous, and portraying to himself what her thoughts and actions at that moment were? If so, could he but have looked into his bridal chamber, he would have seen her on her knees pouring out her pure soul to her Creator in orisons, in which his name was the one all-absorbing theme.
