(From the French.} “Will you love me even beyond the tomb?” The question came from the vermillion lips of « young girl at a fancy ball in Paris during the reignof Louis XV. She was a brilliant brunette, with abundant raven hair, and wore the Spanish veil and mantilia which she had assumed for the weasion, with all the grace of a daughter of Andalusia. Mer interlocutor. a young Viscou! { twenty, arrayed asa page ot Mary Stuart. in Scoteh plaid and Highland bonnet and feather, had been pursuing the Yair unknown all the evening with protesta- tions of love and eternal fidelity. His answer was prompt and unbesitating. iswearit. IfI die I will dream of you in the sepulchre, and a thrill of joy will welcome you if your foot but press the grass over my head.” “And if [should d's?” inquired the young girl, in a sid tune. F ‘if you should die, I* be as faithful to you dead a living; and if you should be per- mitted to tme [ will kiss yourcold hand with az much love as at this moment’’—and he pressed to bis lips the little white hand of the beautiful Spaniard h, well’ I permit you; then, to love me. We shall see if you will be constant. Fare- well; we shall meet again.”” *-But where ’—when ’”’ demanded the Vis- count, anxiousl. I cannot tell. Perhaps here—perhaps else- where—but you will me.’ And with a gesture which forbade him to follow her, she disappeared in the crowd en Two years pi d, during which Viscount Ralph sought vainly at Marly, at Versailles— i every piace of public resort—for his beauti- fal unknowo. He was a Scotchman by birth, and, iike many of bis countrymen, had en- tered the service of the King of France. But a court life did not comport very well with his slender fortune. and he became, ero long, deeply involved in debt as Non must find some rich heiress,’ said his sympathing friends—it was the resvurce of all embarrassed gentlemen of thatdsy. But the Viscount had not furgotten the bewitching An- dalusian, aud was in no mood for the search. He was spared the trouble. however. His uncle, who was archbishop é purtibus of an Asyrian city destroyed by the Romans, in- formed him, one day, that it was time for him to marry, and that he had found a wife tor him. Is she rich?’ inquired Ralph. ‘I do not ask if she is pretty—ait is all the same to me.” - Very rich and very pretty.”" Ths viscount thought of his unknown, and sighed: then thought of his creditors, and con- sented. The uncle arranged everything, and when all wus settled he gave his nephew his benediction and two hundred pistoles, and sent him off to Burgundy to pay his respects to Mile. de Roche Noire, whom he was to marry in a fortnight A gloomy journey of several days duration brought him at length to the ancient feudal manor-house of Roche Noire, situated in the heart ef a forest, on a lofty rock, from which itderived its name. He was expected. The grand door of the mansion was open, and an aged servant met him at the threshold, and conducted him to a large hall at the extrem- ity of which sat an old man and a young girl. The former, whom he divined at once to be the Baron of Roche Noire, rose at his entrance and, saluting him in the somewhat formal fashion of the day, presented him to his daugh- ter Hermine. The latter had the delicate beauty of the flower which has unfolded under # northern sun. She was pale, with fair hair, and eyes of the deep blue of an Italian sky. Her figure was slight but graceful, her hands exquisitely shaped, and transparent as alabas- ter. So much the viscount saw as he bent low before his betrothed, and in spite of his pro- fessed indifference, he inwardly congratulated himself on his good fortune. The viscount and baron exchanged the usual reciprocal compliments and inquiries. Ralph was accustumed to seciety, and understuod well the art of making himself agreeable; the baron, spite ef his seventy winters. had not forgotten how to be a courtier, and Hermine had the siunple grace, the dignity, the modesty without prudery, of a young girl of high birth, religiously educated, but withput any rigidity. The conversation soun became animated and sparkling. while Ralph watched Hermine, and now and then murmured to himself, “She is charming! blessings on my uncle for finding me a wife at once so pretty and so rich.” When supper was announced he offered his hand to the young girl, who accepted it with a blush.while the baron led the way to the dining room. It was a lofty apartment, furnished in the massive style of Louis X[V, and upon the walls were suspended ancient family portraits. As Ralph’s eye glanced over these, it was at- tracted by one whose freshness formed a ae ing contrast to the smoky canvases of the funct barons of Roche Noire. It represented a young girl of dazzling but foreign beauty, such as is only found under southern skies. more brilliant daughter of Spain never danced the éolero in the perfumed gardens of the Alham- bra. The eyts of Ralph were fixed immovably upon the canvas, the first glance hed told him it was his lopg-lost unknown of the fancy ball “Come, my dear viscount,” said the baron, “let us be seated.”” Ralph started and obeyed, then turned his eyes from the portrait to Hermine. In contrast with that glowing beauty she appeared to him utterly insipil. He made some remark abovt the picture. The baron did not reply, but « cloud passed over his face, and Hermine turned pale, and sat silent with downcust eyes. A chill seem~d tobe thrown over these taree pert- sons, just now talking so joyously. Brief re- marks were wade occasionally, in a constrained tone, and the supper ended almost in silence. At its close the viscount wade the fatigue of his journey an excuse for retiring early. As the servant was conducting him to his apart- ment, they passed again through the dining hall. k «Whose portrait is this?’’ he asked, pointing to the pictare of the lady. The servant hesitated. “-Speak!”’ said the viscount, imperiously. — “It is the portrait of M’'le Fulmen,”’ said the old man, trembling «And who is she?”’ «The elder sister of M’Ile Hermine.”” «But she is dressed in Spanish costume.” ~-Yes, her mother was a Spanish lady.” «And Fulmen, where is she now?” ‘She is dead,”’ said the old man, solemnly. “She lies at the left of the altar in the chapel of the chateau.” Fatigue had no power that night to bring sleep to Ralph’s eyelids. It was in vain that he extinguished the candles, id buried his head under the blankets; the image of Fulmen still pursued him. Now, it was Fuimen radiant with beauty, as she was represented in the Pic- ture, and as he had seen her at the fancy ball: again, it was Fulmen, pale and cold, extended in her coffin under the pavement of the chapel. Then he remembered his oath to love ber as well dead as living, and a cold sweat bathed his brow. At that moment a light at the op; site extremity of the apartment attracted his acttention; a door, whose existence he had not suspected, turned noiselessly on its hinges; the candles relighted themselves spontaneously, and a figure, draped ina winding sheet, en- tered the room and approached his bed. It advanced slowly; the most acute ear could have detected no sound of footsteps. Brave as he was, the viscount trembled at the appa rition When the figure was within a few feet of the bed the winding-sbeet was thrown back, and revealed a young girl dressed in Spanish costume. 3 “Fulmen'’’ he murmured; ‘the picture has descended from its frame !”’ P It was indeed Fulmen, just as she was paint- ed. save _ the lips were pale, theeye mourn- ful, the whole expression ly 5 “Fulmen!” repeated the viscount, with @ tone of terro: feverish joy “tis I,” she said ‘Do you remember your oath? They have told you that I am dead.” The teeth of Ralph chattered; but the voice was so pure, so melodious, that it aided him to sexe off the torpor which was creeping over im in which was mingled a sort of you are not dead,” he exclaimed, with an effort. “T have been dead a year,”’ replied Fulmen, sadly. “They buried me in the chapel. You ean read my epitaph on the marble slab, the third from the high altar.” Ralph could not detach his eyes from this singular creature, whose marvellous beauty counteracted in some degree the terror which the apparition would otherwise have caused. “‘Alas!*? resumed the spectre—draping the shroud about hor form with all the coquetry with which a living belle might wrap an opera cloak around her—*I am deud, really dend, at seventeen: when life was full of light, and per- fume, and music; when tears, even, were so sweet that they resembled smiles; when the preees was so happy that the future was quite ‘orgotten. And then I loved you. [ trusted in your oath; and you did not care for me. You have come here to marry my sister.”’ “Fulmen!’? murmured Kalph, who, felt a pang of remorse ut his heart. ‘I have loved you; I love you still.” She shook her head. ‘-The dead are never loved.”’ she said, sadly. Ralph trembled. He felt kis blood curdle in his veins. He remembered his oath. Yet Fu! men did not complain. She did not overwhelm him with reproaches. She seemed resigned. He saw her lean her head upon her hand; a tear shone in her eye, and a shiver passed through her frame. “Tam cold,” she said, and, rising from the chair in which she had seated herself, she ap- proached the fire-place, and bent as if to warm herself by the hi tinguished brands. ‘The dead are ul@ays cold,” she murmured. “Heavens,’” exclaimed Ralph, “you are not dead; but, dead or living, you are beautiful, more beautiful than any living woman, and I love you as on the day I first saw you.” ~The dead are never loved,” sho repeated, mournfully. “But you are not dead. The limbs of the dead are rigid; the flesh corrupt; they are in- sensible; they caunot 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.” ‘ou suffer!’’ the viscount exclaimed. “Yes. Because I died with a guilty thought in my heart. I remember the bali 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 sadhess. Yet a secret voice said within him, ‘Ah ! ifshe were only alive A pale smile passed over the face of the hantom. It rose and advanced toward him. Xulph immediately shrunk back at its ap proach. “You see,’’ she said mourufully, “itis always so. The living fear the dead.” “No, no!’’ suid he, eagerly, ashamed of the momentary terror; ‘‘no, Fulmen, my beloved, vome.”’ She extended her hand, and took that of the young man. Ralph uttered acry. His hand was pressed by the cold, clammy fingers of a corpse. She let his hand fall. “No,”’ she repeated,in a half-suffocated voice, ‘you see it cannot be; I shall suffer always.” And she Sed; while Ralph was so over- whelmed that he had no power to speak or move. The candles went out suddenly; silence reigned again in the chamber; the phantom had yan- ished. The next day dawned bright and beautiful. The Baron de Roche Noire, who did rot appear to notice the pallor and abstraction of his guest, proposel ahunt. The day was spent in the open air; and if, amid the excitement of the chase, the viscount thought of the occurrences of the last Hiatt, they seemed to him only as a bewildering dream. But with the return of darkness, and especially at the sight of the picture, the pppeuaen again seemed to him a and he determined to ascertain the Pleading a headache, he retired to his room, and extinguishing the candle, he culled, softly : *Fulmen! Fulmen swer. Again he called: “Fulmen ! I love you, though dead.” Immediztely the candles were re-lighted, and Fulmen again appeared. She threw off her winding-sheet and seated herself in a chair by his side. Her face had the cadaverous paleness of the tomb; her eye was sad; her step slow and painful ; yet her exquisite beauty exerted the same fascination over Ralph as when spark- ling with life and vivacity. **Fulmen, I love you,” he repeated, gazing at her with admiration. “Yet if my hand should touch yours,’’ she replied with asad smile, ** you would utter a ery as you did lust night; the dead are alwaye cold.”’ ‘Give me your hand, and you will see,” said Ralph, extending resolutely his own. She took it, and again there came over him the same terrible sensation as before; but he had self-control enough to conquer it, and again to repeat : ** I love you!” A bright smile illumined the features of Ful- men. *sMy poor friend,”’ she said, -‘I would gladly believe you; butif your love would end my sufferings, it must be so profound. so ardent, that it can conquer even the desire to live. A tomb with me must have attractions for you. And you are but twenty-two, Ralph. * At your age life is sweet.”” The viscount 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, (od may hear your prayer?” “Ah! if he would! An eternity by your side would be infinite happiness.” “Ralph, my friend,’ interrupted Fulmen, while a smile of celestial joy shone in her face, “take care; you will die if you love me!” > I wish to die.” *» But you are betrothed to my sister.’’ An exclamation of anger escaped him. «+ T hate her!’’ he said, vehemently. “Why?” ** Because she is alive, while you are dead. What has she done that she 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 Hermine. I wish to be yours, and only yours, forever. * You are mad, my friend; I cannot accept happiness at such a sacrifice.” She rose slowly. “ Adieu, Ralph,” she said. ‘‘ Marry Her- mine and pray for me.” *Fulmen! Fulmen!’’ exclaimed Ralph, fall- ing on his knees at her feet. ‘Do not abandon me—I love you!” + But your love is death.”” “Tt is happiness. It is life.’’ His tone was 30 earnest, so touching, that th young girl hesitated. Rs ie me live eternally with you,” he per- sisied. *+ Listen. my friend,” she said at length, as if she could no longer resist his entreaties, ‘ in this casket,”’ pointing toa richly earved box which stood upes the table, ‘there is a phial taini: ‘k liquid.”’ oe ‘And this Tawa 2 's death |” 5 There was no an- Eben ver, XV.
