As soon as her uncle itook leave, Amine sought Lady {Eleanor to bog she would use her in- ;llncncc with the Baron to send a mes- isengcr to Spain, to dissuade her Cutl- [sin Philip from undertaking lus con- templated journey to the castle. La- :dy Eleanor smiled and asked what possible objection she could have to his coming. Amine cast her eyes to the ground, but made no reply.

‘I think I could answer for you,’ said Lady Eleanor. ' but Will content myself with warning you against be- stowing your heart too lightly upon one who appears in the character of an adventurer—that- which is readily won being too apt to be lightly valu- ed. As respects your cousin I’hilip, it is too late to tltink of preventing him from coming. Though my bus- band and myself. certainly will not Compelyou to accept him, we shall endeavor to redeem the promise we made yourunc'lc, as far as is proper.

A little anger, in spite pf her of- forts to suppress it, was mingled with the‘ feeling, of shame awakened by these last words, and when Lady Eleanor requested her to sing a song, and accompany" it with her lute, she felt half inclined to refuse. ger was like the. April cloud, how- ever, that soon flits away, and with an emotion of self reproach for hav- ing indulged it, she took up her lute and sung one of the popular songs of the time with even more pathos and sweetness than usual. ‘

l have been thinking ofgiving a mas- querade. \Ve have received sure in- formation that your cousin, Philip D‘Alvarcz, will be here a week from \Vednesday next, and we are not un-

pwilling to honor him by some rare ‘cntertainment. l ‘ My friends, the Baron. and his ylady,’ said be, taking hisneice by the ‘

“ “Tend to consult my own in- clination," rcplied Amine. “I would adopt the simple habit of on Hunga- rian peasant girl. I once dressed myselt'in it for sport, and thought it became me better than a richer dress.

‘ It would become you, undoubted- ly, but one more splendid would be- come you much better. I lately read the story of a beautiful princess,

‘whose dress was described as being iso clmrming,that I wish you to exact-

ly tmitate it.”

Amine readily yielded the point, for she thought much more of meet- ing her cousin Philipthau of'hcr dress. She felt glad ol'an opportunity to ap- pear in his presence for the. first time so disguised that he would be unable to distinguish her from orhcrs; while, with the assistance. of Rodovan. she felt sun: of being able to detect him.

During the intermediate time, she and Ferdinand often met,but in their intercourse, though so frcqncut, he never, for a moment. forgot that re- spect and deference, proscribed by the romantic spirit of chivalry com- mon to the period. Once, and only once, he ventured to press the snowy hand, held out to receive from him stme beautiful flowers, which had found root on the side of a precipice, and which he had with some danger obtained '

It was a rich mellow sunset,

“ And not a breath crept through the rosy air.

And yet the finest-leaves seemed stirred l with prayer."

i; Ferdinand and Amine stood toge- ithcr on the battlemcnt. Both were Z silent, yet the heart does not always i need the medium oflanguage to ex- ' press its sentiments. On the present occasion, neither felt any difficulty lin reading that of the other. At length, Ferdinand broke the silence. " 'I‘o-tnorrow evening,” said he, I “ you cipect your cousin Philip 2'” . Amine assented. , l “ You are aware,“ resumed he. “that he’ possesses many advantages which lmnko no protonsious to.— lle is the solo heir to a princely do- main. is allowed by the ladies to be comely in person, and has recuivcd the honors of ‘knighthood —thrcc. things which no woman is apt to hold as of light value.

“ By this good sword, you wrong him. The heart of Philip D’Alvarcz is not a mercenary one,” he exulaim- ed somewhat impetuously.

Amine raised her large dark eyes to his with a look of surprise.

“ You think it strange that I should say ought in faVor ofa rival.” said hc. smiling, "' and I think, myself, that it might have been more politic ifnnt ,more generous, to have remained «i- lent ”

He then drew‘a hair bracelet from his vest, the clasp of which was or.- richcd with a large brilliant ofthe fir~t water, and fastened it round her arm.

“ Should you wish to undo this." said he, “ press your finger firmly against the inner edge of the clasp.— Possibly, when you come to sec. your cousin, he may please you Lettut’ than you anticipate—you may pref-'2‘ him to me. If so, give him this hrnce- let. To me it will be the signal to leave this place for ever.” '

Saying thus, be pressed her ham-l to his lips, and left the batticmcnts.

There is much truth in the follmving lines, which we copy from a late Colo-e nial paper:—

' Play what do you mean by ‘ respec'nhiliwf'

Is it wisdom. or warth, sir, or rank, or go it'- lity ?

is it rough sound sense? or a manner retire?

Is it kindness of heart? or expansion ot‘ mind?

Is it learning. or talent, or honour. or fame.

That. you mean by that phrase so espreseivo to name ."

‘ No, no, these are not. air, the thin vs now in vogue.
