Every thing presented an aspect of solitude and absolute desertion, which could not fail to dismay the soul of Eugenio. He advanced along an avenue of fir-trees, which conducted him to the outward gate, and rang the bell several times without any one answering its summons. At length an old man, whose figure was unknown to him made his appearance; he held a dark lanthorn in his hand, and demanded, in a hoarse tone of voise, who was there. "It is me," answered Eu. genio; open the door immediately." "I know you not," replied the old man. "My Lord and Lady are absent, and I dare not admit any one without their orders." No. 12. "Where are they?" exclaimed Eugenio with emotion "Where is Virginia? Answer me, I desire you." "My God! Antouio," said a servant, whe then måde her appearance, "it is the Count Eugenio-it is our young masWhat do you mean by keeping him waiting? ter. "I ask pardon," said Antonig, bowing respectfully while he opened the door; "I had not the honour of being in his. service when he quitted the castle, and I hope he will excuse me." "Where are they?" repeated Eugenio, rushing into the hall. "Where is Virginia?" "It is three weeks since the Marquis and Marchioness left this place for Bologna," said the servant who had last appeared. "With regard to Signora Virginia, it is about six months since she quitted the castle, in order, as it was said, to preseed to a Convent." "To a Convent !" interrupted Eugenio, distracted-" to a Convent; Gracious Heaven! what means this inexplicable conduct? What Convent? Say-answer me" he added with impatienee. The servant terrified, dared not utter a single word. repeat "Will you speak ed Eugenio, in a menacing and dreadful tone of voice. "I ask pardon," said the girl trembling; "but I am ignorant of the Convent to which our young Lady has retired. Thers is no person but Laurina who is able to inform you." "Desire her to come to me!" said Eugenio, with an agitation which every moment increased. "She is now the housekeep er of the Marquis, whose house is at the extremity of the park," answered the servant. "I will instantly go in search of her." past happiness, in some measure assuaged his grief, anet calmed the extreme trouble, which agitated him. He stoped, by an involuntary and irresistable impulse, at the grove formerly consecrated to Hymen. It was enlightened by the full splendour of the moon. The ravages of the storm which had destroyed it, were perfectly visible. The ciphers of Eugenio and Virginia, engraven on the same trees, were obscured, and nearly effaced. Unwholesome woods had replaced the beauteous flowers, whose withered and arid stems were still perceptible. The waters of the rivulets which murmured over the variegated turf with which the altir was surrounded, formerly so clear and transparent, had now be come thick and muddy, and appeared the receptacle of myriabs of vile insects. The whole scene presented a horrible aspect. "Virginia! Oh my dear Virginia!" exclaimed Eugenio, with a voice rendered almost inarticulate by his sighs; then forcing his way through the thorns and briers in order to explore a shorter way, he flew to the house of the Marquis. He pushed the door, which he found half opened; he entered the lower hall, where he found Laurina sitting with a lamp near her, and employed in knitting. The sudden and unexpected appearance of Eugenio, his excessive paleness, and his disordered dress, terrified her. She uttered a loud shriek, "Holy Virgin !" said she clasping her hands, "protect me! It is the spirit of Eugenio I see before me?" ate youth, weakened by the fever which for six weeks had preyed on him, and overcome by the extreme fatigue of a journey of near four hundred miles, performed without that repose which was necessary to recruit his strength, suddenly lost the remembrance the sensation of his miseries. The cries of Laurina called the gardener and his wife to her assistance. They conveyed Eugenio to bed, where, notwithstanding every means of "Oh Laurina! Laurina!" exclaimed Eugenio, in mouraful accents," where is she-relief they afforded, he remainwhere is my Virginia?

The moment he recovered his words, but in a voice so feeble, that Laurina could only distinguish the name of Virginia. “Virginia !" answered Laurina, weeping. "Dare you pronounce that name without your heart being rent by remorse? After so long a silence on your part-after so cruel agenio had yielded to a senti desertion of her who merited your adoration, do you still seek the lovely victim you have sacrificed, in order to feast apon her misfortunes ?" "Take courage, Sir," said that worthy, kind woman, whose resentment against Eu ment of the most tender compassion; take courage-there is doubtless still sufficient time to prevent Virginia from completing the sacrifice of herself. A repentance, so sincere as your's appears to be, cannot fail to move her heart.
