THE MAN IN THE RESERV A Fantaise Piece. BY CHARLES FENNO HOPPMANN You way see some of the best society in New York on the top of the Distributing Keservoir, any of these fine mornings. There were twoor three carriages in waiting, and half a dozen senatorial looking mothers with young chil- drens asamp the parapet, as we backed there the other day in the sunshine, now watehing the pickerel that glide slong the lucid edges of the bisek poo! within and now looking off upon the seene of rich and wonderous variety that spreads along the tworivers on cither side.

But you seem so familiar with the spot, I wish you could tell me why that ladder leaning down to the water is lashed against the stone work in yonder corner?”’ That ladder,” seid the young man, bright- gacthe question, “‘why the m, per- the very existence of that T, resulted my meditations in the reservoir, at which you smiled just now.

All went as I could wish it. The night proved cloudy, bat it was only a variable drift of broken clouds which obseured the moon. I had a walking etne red with me which would reach to the margin of the water, and several feet beyond, if necessary. To this was attached the wire, nbout fifteen inches in length. I prowled along the parapet for a considera- ble time, but not a le fish could I'see. The i made a flickering light and shade, that ly foiled my stoad fast gaze. I was con- ed that unless they come up thicker my whole night's adventure would be thrown away. Why should I not descend the sloping wail and get a nearer level with the fish, fur thus slone can I hope to see one ’’’ The quesiion had hardly shaped itself im my mind before I had one leg over the front railing. If you Jook around you will see now that there ure sume Lalf dozen weeds growingehere and there; smid the fissures from whence these spring, I planted a foot, and began my descent. ri reservoir was fuller than it is now, and a few strides would have earricd me to the mar- gin of the water. Holding on to the cleft above. I felt around with one foot for @ place to plant it below me. Ie that moment the flap of a pound pike made me look around, and the roots of the weed upon which [ partially depended, gave way as I was in the act of turning. Sir, one’s senses are sharpened in deadly peril; as I live now, I distinctly heard the bells of Trinity chiming midnight, as I rose to the surface the bext instant, immersed in the stone cauldron, where I must swim for my life, heaven only eould tell how long! I ama oops swimmer, and this naturally gave me a degree of sclf-possession. Falling a+ I had. I of course had pitched out some distance from the sloping parapet. A few strokes brought me to the edge. I really was not yet certain but that T could clamber up the face of the wall anywhere. I hoped that Icould. I felt certain at least there was some pot where I might get hold with my hands, even if L did not ultimately ascend it. I tried the nearcs: spot.” The inclination of the wall was so vertical that it did not even rest me to lean against it. I felt with my feet. Surely, I thought, there must be some fissure like x oes in which that ill-omened weed had found a place for its root. There was none. My fingers beeame sore in busying themselves with the harsh and inhos- pitable stones. My feet slipped from the smooth and sy masonry beneath the water; and several times my face came ‘a rude contact with the wall, when my foothold gave way on the instant that I seemed to have found some diminutive rocky cleet upon which I could stay myself. Sir, did you ever see a rat drowned in a half filled hog round an d; and. after vainly trying the sides again and again with hia paws, fixes his eyes upon the upper rim as if he would look himself out of his watery prison.

I thought, then, I Zin a half-filled cask of r, and lifting his gaze out of the vessel as rew more and more desperate, and flung myself on my back and foatiog thus, fixed my eyes upon the face of the moon. The moon is well enough in her way, however st her; but her appearance is, to fit, peculiar to a man floating on his back in the centre of a stone tank, with a dead wall of some fifteen or twenty feet rising squarely on every side of him (the young man mited bitterly as he said this, shuddered ce or twice before he went on musingly!) lust time I had noted the*planet with any on she wason the wane. Mary was with me: Lhad brought her out here one m. orning, t ut the view from the top of the Reser- voir. She said little of the scene; but as we taiked of our old and childish loves, I saw that its fresh featarcs were incorporating themselves with te’ emories of the past, I was content. There was a rich golden haze upon the land- seape; snd as my own spirits rose amid the vo- laptuous atmosphere she pointed to the waning planet, diseernible like a faint gash in the wel- os and wondered long it would be befure the leaves would fs Strange girl, did she mean to rebuke my joyous mood, as if we had no right to be happy while natare, withering in ber pomp, aud the sickly moon wasting in tLe haze of noontide, were there to remini us of “the gone forever?” “They will all renew themselves, dear Mary,” said I, e ing- Is; “aud there is one who will ever keep tryste \ewith thee and nature through all seasons, i* thou wilt but be true to one of us, and remain #s now 4 child of nature.”’ A tour sprang to hereye; and then searehin; her pocket for her curd case, she remem —— EE: ANETTA T vee, XT. Spee to be present at Mi opening of fall bonnets, at 2 o'clock! And yet dear, wild, wayward Mary, I thought of her new. You have probably outlived this sort of thing, sir; but I, looking at the moon, as I floated there upturned to her yellow light, thought of the loved being whose tears I knew woald flow when she heard of my singular fate, at once so grotesque, yet melancholy to awful- ness. And how often we have talked too, of that Carian shepherd who spent his damp nights upon the bills, gazing as I did on the lustrous planet! Who will revel with her amid those ol superstitions? Who, trom our own anlegend woods, will evoke their yet undetested, haunt- ing spirits? Who peer with her, in prying seru- tiny into nature’s laws, and chelienge the whis- pers ig ind from the voiceless throat of mat- ter’ Who laugh merrily over the stupid work of pedants, that never mingled with the infinitude of nature, through love exhaustless and all embracing, as we have? Poor girl, she will be compznioniess. Alas! companionless furever—save in the ex- pretty Stn of some brisk flirtation. She will live hereafter by feeding other hearts with love's lore she has learned from me, and then Pygmalion like, grow fond of the images she has herself endowed with semblance of divinity, until they seem to breathe back the mystery the soul can truly eatch from only one. How anxious she will be lest the coroner shulI have discovered any of her notes in my pocket! I felt chilly as this last reflection crossed my mind. Partly at thought of the coronez, partly at the idea of Mary being unwilling! y compelled to wear mourning for me, ia ease of such a diz- closure of our engagement. It isa provoking thing for a girl of nineteen to have to go into mourning for a deceased lover, at the begin- oy be her second winter in the metropolis. @ water though. with my motionless posi- tion, must have had something to do with my ehilliness. I see, sir, you think trat I tell my story with great levity; but indeed, indeed. [ should grow delirious did I venture to hold steadily to the awfulness of my feelings the greater part of that night. I think, indeed, I must have been most of the time hysterical with horror. for the vibrating emotions [ have recapitulated did pass through my brain even as I have detailed them. But as I became calm in thought, I sum- moned up again some resolution of action. I will begin at that corner, said I, and swim slowly, Po gon feel the sides of the tank with my feet. If die I must, let me perish at least from well directed though exhausting efforts, not sink from mere bootless weariness in sustaining myself till the morning shall briag relief. The sides of the place seemed to grow higher as I now nye my watery course beneath them. It was not a together a dead pull. I had some variety ofemotion in making my cireuit. When I swam in the shadow, it looked to me more. cheerful beyond in the moonlight. When I swam in the moonlight, I had the hope of making some discovery when I should again reach the shadow. I turned several times on my back to rest just where those wavy lines would meet. The stars looked viciously bright te me from the bottom of that well; there was such a company of them; they were so glad in their lustrous revelry; and they had such space to movein! I was alone, sad to despair, in a strange element, prisoned and a solitary gazer upon their mocking chorus. And yet thore was nothing else with which I could hold communion Lturned upon my breast and struck out al- moet fantically, once more. The stars were for- gotten, the moon, the very world, of which I as yet formed a part, my poor Mary herself was forgotten. I thought only of the strong man there perishing; of mc in my lusty manhood, in the sharp vigor of my dawning prime, with faculties iilimitable, with senses al alert, bat- tling there with physical obstacles which men like myself had brought together for my undo- ing. The Eternal could never have willed this thing! I could not and I would not perish thus. I grew stronger in insolence of self-trust; and I laughed aloud as I dashed the sluggish waters from side to side. Then came an emotion of pity for myself—of wild, wild regret; of sorrow, oh, infinite, for a fate so desolate, a doom so dreary, so heart sickening. You may Jecgh at the contradic- tion, if you will, sir, but I felt that I could sacrifice my own life on the instant to redeein another fellow creature from such a place of horror, from an end so piteous. My soul and my vital spiritseemed in thatdesperate moment to be separating; while one ia parting grieved over the deplorable fate of the other. And thenI beayen: I prayed, why or wherefore I know not. It was not from fear. It could not have been in hope. The daysof miracles are passed, aud there was no natural law by whose providentia) interposition I could be saved. I did not pray; it prayed of itself, my soul within me. Vas the calumness that I now felt, torpidity? the torpidity that proceeds dissolution to the strong swimmer who, sinking from exhaustion, must at lust add «a bubble to the wave as he suf- focates beneeth the element which now denied his mastery? If it were so, how fortunate was it that wy floating rod at that moment attracted my attention as it da-hed through the water by me. I saw that a fish had entangled him- self in the wire nooze. The rod quivered, piun- , came again to the surface and rippled the Water as if shot in arrowy flight from side to side of the tank. At last, driven toward the southeast corner of the reservoir, the small end seemed to have got foul somewhere. The bra- zen butt, which, every time the fish sounded. Was thrown up to the moon, now sank by its own weight showing that the other end must be fast. But the cornered fish, evidently anchored somewhere by that short wire. floundered sev- eral times to the surface before I thought of stricking out to the spot. The water is low now and tolerably clear. You may see the very ledge there, sir, in yon- der corner, on whieh the small end of my rod rested when I secured that pike with my hands. I did not take him from the slipnoose, however, but standing upon the ledge, handled the rod in a sree ias i manner, as [ flung that pound pickere! over the iron railing upon the top of the parrpet. The rod, as [ have told you. barely reached from the railing to the water. Tt was a pet strong brass red, which I had borrowed in the Spirit of the Times office; and when [ discoverd that the fish at the end of the wire made a strong enough knot to prevent me from Sree my tackle away from the railing, around which it twined itself as I threw, why, as you can at once see. I had little difficulty ‘ making my way ~ the face of the wall with such assistance. The ladder which attracted our notice is, as you see. lashed to the railing in the identical spot where I thus made my es- cape; and for fexr of similar accidents, they have placed another one in the eorr nding corner of the other compartment of the tank, ever since my remarkable night's adventure in the Reservoir.”’ We give the above singular relation verba- tim, an heard itn the Eee of our chance ae- quxintance; and, although strong) Bie to tl “work it up’? after the fam le ofa famous German namesake, prefer that the reader should have it in its Ameriean simpli- ity. b ea Sixtren Cans Demotisngn —Aboutteno’clock on Tuesday morniog a freight train of thirty-seven earsran off the track of the HMnois Central rail- road, one-fourth ofa mile north of the La Salle station, in consequence of running over a tow.
