ENIGMAS. Pray, ladies, quickly find me out, Indeed, I am both tall and stout; I often stand near to your gate, But never walk or ever eat; More good than harm from me betide, For oft I prove the travellers guide. To complaisance I am a friend, As I can sometimes bow and bend: Abroad I live both stout and bold, And stand through many a winter cold. In rank is mostly found my station, In town or country through the nation. What spoils a prince spoils me the same, I lose my head, I lose my name. Ans.-A Tree.

I'm long and I'm short, I am thick and I'm thin,

I live out of doors, and sometimes within.
I am possessed with life and motion,
But never was esteemed for notion

I am very humble, although abused,
And murdered ere I am accused;
When with me my persecutors meet,
They hail me as a sumptuous treat;

Yet most bitter sure my name doth sound,

When sometimes with wood connected I'm found,

Should I tell where I dwell, then soon, I've do doubt,

I banish the spell, and am quickly found

I MEET HER IN THE PICTURED HALLS.

I meet her in the pictured halls,

But, ah! her cheek no smile betrays, Her look is cold as marble gaze, And scarce a thought of me recalls.

But 'twas not thus we always met,

If I was gay once she was glad,
Or shed the sigh if I felt sad,
Or kissed my cheek that tears did wet.

But fortune frowns, and hope is flown,

My friends from me are all estranged; But, ah! she was the first that chang'd, And left me to my fate alone.

'An old chateau, two miles hence, close by the Rhine, is his residence. He has no visitors, and of his domestic life, of course, nothing is known. What is the hour?'

• Half after eight.'

So late? I must be gone. Farewell!'

The individual, who had given rise to the young man's inquiries, was a man whose appearance was at once striking and prepossessing; the latter phrase is, perhaps, too weak. His large frame, it is true, gave him, at the first glance, a somewhat ungainly appearance, which, however, vanished, when his countenance was observed. It was pale and clear. The features of the face was deeply traced; the forehead broad and capacious, the temples full and bare. Merler gazed and gazed, and became more and more anxious for a more intimate knowledge of this visionary, -if such he was.

The room began to assume the mellow, deep tinge of an autumn evening. The stranger laid down the paper he had been reading, and left the house.

Day after day, Carl Merler rẻsorted to the same place; and it generally happened that he saw the individual of whom he was, in fact, though almost unconsciously to himself, in quest. Still he was not better acquainted with him than before. If he made inquiries, he learnt nothing from the answers which added to his previous stock of information. It happened too, (remarkably as he thought,) that no opportunity ever occurred for the interchange, between them, of those little civilities that, continually, take place between persons whom habit or accident brings together. His curiosity increased.

One evening, it chanced that all the company had left the room, except Carl Merler and the object in whom he felt so unaccountable
