THE ADVENTUKES OF A KNIGHT-
LT J. APDISOX SEWALL.
Towards the latter end of the reign of Henry VIII, Sir Gowen. a man of some fortune and considerable curiosity, font! of enterprise, and insatiate of knowledge. ira%-ellcd through the northern couniies of England. The following singular adventure is Btill extant among the fumi¬ ly writings, and is siill recorded by hia posieri-
Il was towardd sunset i.Bays thc manuscript,) when Sir Gawcn, after having traversed a very lone and iinirequented path, arrived at thc edge of a dark ond thick forresl; tho sky was sud¬ denly overcast, and il began lo rain ; ihe thun¬ der rolled at a distance, and sheets of livid light¬ ning flashed across the heath. Overcome wiih faiijjae and hunger, he rode impaiicmly along the border of the forest, hoping to discover an entrance ; but none was found. Al length, JUBI as he was aboul lo dismount, wilh an inleir- tion of breaking the fence, he discerned, as he thought, something moving upon the heath; and, upon advancing towards it, it proved to be an old woman gatiiering peat, and who, overta¬ ken by the storm, was hurrying home os fast os her infirm limbs would carry her.
The sight of a human being filled the heart of Sir Gawen with joy, and hastily riding up, he inquired how far ho had deviated from the right road, and where he could procure a night's lodg¬ ing. The old woman now slowly lifted up her palsied head, and displayed a set of features wbich could scarcely be called human ; her eyes ever red, piercing, and distorted, and rolling horribly, glancing upon every object but the person by whom she waa addressed, and, at in¬ tervals, they emitted a fiery, disagreeable light; her hair, of a diriy grey, hung, matted with filth, in large masses upon her ehouldera; and a few thin portions rushed abrupt and horizon¬ tally from the upper part of her forehead, which was much wrinkled, and of a parchment here; her cheeks were hollow, withered, and red wirh a quantity of acrid rheum ; her nose was large, prominent, end sharp; her lips ihin, skinny, and livid; her few teeth black, and her chin long and peaked, wiih a number of bushy hairs depending from ns extremity ; her nails also were acute, crooked, and benl over her fingers ; and hor garments, ragged and fluttering in the wind, displayed every possible varieiy of color. The knight was u little daunted; but the old Woman having mentioned a dwelling at some diHtance, and offering to lead, thc pleasure re ceivcd from tliis piece of news effaced thc form¬ er impression, nnd geiting from his horse he laid hold of the bridle, and then alowly moved over ilie heaih.
The storm had now  ceased, and thc moon ri¬ sing,  gave  presage  of a fine night.    The old woman now taking a sudden turn, plunged into ihe wood by a path narrow, and almosi choked up with a quantity of briar  and thorn.    The trees were thick, and, save a few glimpses of the moon, which now and then poured lighi on the uncouth features of his companion, all wa? dark  and  dismal.   The  heart  of Sir    Gawen misgave him; neither spoke, and the  knighi pursued his guide merely by ihe noise ehe made in hurrying through the bushes, which was done wilh a celerity ahogeihcr inconsistent with her former decrepitude.   At  length  the path grew wider, and a faint blue light, which  came from a building al some  distance, glimmered  before them.   They now left the wood, and issued up¬ on a rocky and  uneven piece of ground; ihe moon, struggling ihrough a cloud, casl a doubt¬ ful and uncertain  light; and  the  old  woman, with a leer which made the very hair of Sir Gawen stand on end, told him thai ihe dwelling was at hand.    Il  was so ; for a  Gothic castle, placed on a considerable elevation, now came in view.   It was a large, massy etructure, much decoyed, and some pans of it in a totally ruin¬ ous condition ; a portion, however, of the keep or great tower was still entire, and also the en- irance to the court inclosure ; preserved, proba¬ bly, by the  ivy, whoso fibres crept round with solicitous care.   Large fragmenia of the ruin were  scattered about, covered with moss, and half sunk in ihe ground ; and n number of old elm trees, ihrough whose foliage thc wind sigh¬ ed with a sullen and melancholy sound, dropped a, deep and settled gloom, that scarce permitted the moon to stream by fits upon the building.— Sir Gawen drew near; ardent curiosity, mingled with awe, dilated his bosom : and he inwardly congratulated himself upon so singular an ad venture, when, turning round to question his companion, a glimpse of ihe moon poured full upon his eye so horrid a contexture of features, so  \iildand preiemaiural  a combination, that, tmoto wilh lerror and unable to move, a, cold sweat trickled from every pore ; and immedi¬ ately this infernal being seized him by the arm, and hurrying him over the draw-bridge to the great entrance of the keep, the portcullis fell with a tremendous sound; and   the   knighi, t=tartling as  it were from a irancc, drew his Bword in the act to destroy his treacherous guide when instantly a horrible tind infernal laugh, burst from her, and in a moment the whole cus¬ tle waa  in on uproar.   Peal  after  peal issued from every  quancr, till at length growing laini, they died away, and a dead silence ensued.
Sir Gawcn, who, during this alrange tumuli, had collected all his scattered powers, now look¬ ed around hira witli determined rceoJution ; his terrible companion had disappeared, and the moon shining iuU upon poricullis, convinced him thai ony escape that way waa impractica¬ ble ; the wind sighed ihrougU ihc elms; the scared owl, uttering his disrordam note, broke from the rustling bough, and a dim uvinMing light beamed from a loop-hole near the mimmii of tbe great tower. Sir Gawen entered the keep, having previou-jly reasoned himsell into a stale of cool fortitude, and benl up every pow¬ er to the appalling enterprise. Ilo extended his sword before him, for it was dark, and proceeded carefully to aearch around, in hopes ciiher of ' discovering some aperture which might lead lo the vestibule or staircase, or of wreaking his vengeance on Uic wretch who had thus decoyed him. AH was still as death ; and, aa he strode ovor (he floor a dull, hollow sottnd issued from beneath, and rendering him apprehensive of .filing ihrough into some den, from which he might never be able to extricate himsell. In this situation, dreading the sound of each lighl footbiep, a sound, oa of n man, apparently whis¬ pering struck his ear; he bent forward, listen- mg with eager attention; and, as il seemed to proceed from a Hule distance before him. he determined to (ollow i;; he did so, and instantly fell Ihrough the mouldering pavement, whilst at Ihe aame time peals of horrid laughter again buret wnh reiterated clamor from every cham¬ ber in the castle. Sir Gawen rose with consid- erable difficulty, and much Biunned wiih the fall, allhough fortunately the spot he had drop- ped upon was. covered with a quantity of damp and soft earth, which'gave way to hiu weight.- He now found himaelf in a large vault, arched in a Gothic manner, and supported by eight mftMivo pillars, down whbie aides the damp
forte of Sir Gawen, who, having invam tried to , forco ihem. looked around for his dword, which,, during his fall, had storied from his grasp, ond, in searching the ground with hia fingers, he laid I hold of nnd drew forlh the fresh hones of nn enormous skeleton, yet greasy and moist from the decaying fibres ; he trembled wiih horror ; a cold wind brushed Jviolently along the sur- fuce of the vault, and a ponderous iron door slowly grating on its rusty hinges, opened at one corner, ond disclosed to the wandering eye of Sir Gawen a broken staircase, down wlioae steps a blue and feint lighi flashed by starts, like the lightning of a summer eve. Appalled by these dreadful prodigies, Sir Gawen felt, in Bpile of all his resolutions, a cold and death-iike chill pervade his frame; and kneeling down, he prayed lo that Power, withoui whose man- daieno being islet loose upon another; and feeling himself more calm and resolved, he began to search for his sword, when n moon¬ beam falling on the glistening blade at once re¬ stored it to its owner.
Sir Gawen having thus resumed hia wonted fortitude and reaolution, held a parley with him¬ self; and perceiving no other way by which he could escape, boldly resolved to brave all the terrors of tho staircase; and once more recom mending himself to his Maker, began lo ascend The light stiliflashed, and enabled him to climb those parts which were not broken or decayed. He had proceeded in this manner a considerable way, mounting as he supposed to ihe summit o the keep, when suddenly a shrill and agonizing shriek issued from the upper part -of it, and something rudely brushing down, grasped him with tremendous atrengih. In a moment he be came motionless, cold aa ice, and felt himself hurried back by some irresistible being ; but. just as he had reached the vault, a spectre of so frightful a shape stalked by within it, that, straining every muscle, he sprang from the deadly gnisp ; the iron door rushed in ihunder upon iis hinges, and a deep hollow groan re sounded from beneath. No sooner bad the door closed, than yelling screams and sounds, which almost suspended the very pulse ot life, issued from the vault. Sir Gawen stood petrified with horror; a strong fear ran to his very heart, and dismayed his every sense. The tumult at length subsided, and he recovered some portion of his Slrength, which ho immediaiqly made use of lo convey himself os iar as possible from the iron door; and presently reached hie former eleva tion on the staircase, which, aficf ascending a few more steps, lerminated in a winding gal lery.
The light, which had hiiherlo flashed inces santly, now disappeared, and he waa left in al¬ most total darkness, except that now and then the moon threw a few cool rays through somc broken loopholes, heightening the horror of the scene. He dreaded going forward, and fearfully looked back, lest some yelling fiend ahould ogniii plunge him into the vauli. He stood bus ponded with apprehension; a mournful wind howled ihroygh thc apprimenta of the caeile, and Itsiening. he thought he heard thc iron door grate upon its hinges ; he siarted with terror ; the sweat stood in big drops upon his forehead, his kneea smote each other, and he rushed for¬ ward u-ith desperate despair, till, having sudden¬ ly turned a corner of the gallery, o taper, burn¬ ing v,-iih a faint light, gleamed ihrough a nar¬ row, dark passage. Sir Gawen approached the light; it came from an extensive rouni, the fold¬ ing doors ol which were wide open. He enter¬ ed. A small laper, in a niAssivo silver candle¬ stick, stood upon a table in the middle of the room, but gave so inconsiderable au illuminaiion that the one end wos wrapped in palpable dark¬ ness, and the other was scarcely broken in upon by a dim light that streamed through a large rom ified window, covered with thick ivy. An arm choir, shattered and damp with oge, was placed near tho table, ond the remains of a receni fire were still visible in the grate. Thc wainscoai of black oak had formerly been hung with ta. pestry, and several portiona still hung to those parts wliich were near the fire ; they possessed some vivacity of tint, and much gilding, yet ap¬ parent on the chimney piece, and several mould, ing relics of cosily frames and paintinga, gave indisputable evidence of the ancienl grandeur of the place. Sir Gawen closed the folding doors, and, taking ihe toper, was about to aur¬ vey the room, when a deep and hollow groan from the dark end of it, smoic cold upon his heart; al thc same lime, the sound, os of some¬ thing tailing with a dead weight, echoed ihrough the'room. Sir Gawen replaced ihe inper, the flame of which was agitated, now quivering sunk, now sireomed, flamed afloat, and asthe last pale portion died away, the scarce distin guishcd form of somc terrific being floated glow ly by, and again another dreadful groan ran deepening throueh thc gloom. Sir Gawen stood tbr some time motionless ; ailengih, sum¬ moning all his fortitude, he advanced, with his sword extended, to the darkest pari of the room Instantly there burst forth a fierce irradiation, a blue, sulphureous splendor, and the mangled body of a man, distorted with the agony o: deoih, his very fibres racked with convulsinns, his hair stiif and malted wiih blood, his mouth open, and his eyes protruding from their marble sockets, rushed on thc fixed ond maddened senses of Sir Gawen, whose hearl had beat no more, had not a hiss of ten ihousand fiends, loud and horrible, roused him from the dreadful scene. He started, uttered a wild shriek, hie brain turned round, and running, he knew not whiihcr, burst through the folding doora.
Darkness again spread her sable pall over the unfortunate Sir Gawen, and he hurried along the narrow passage with a feeble and faltering step. Hia intellect shook, and, overwhelmed wiih the late appaling objects, had not yet recovered ony decree of recollections ; and as he wandered in a dream, a confused train ot horrible ideas pas¬ sed unconnected ihrough his mind; at length, Iiowcver, memory resumed her function, reaum¬ ed it but to daunt him wiih harrowing sugges¬ tions ; the direful horrors of the room behind, and of ihe^ vauU bolow, were siiU present to hia eyes, and, as a man, whom hellish fiends had frighiened, he stood pale, trembling, nnd staring wild. AU was now sileni and doik, and he deiermincd to wait in this spot the dawn of day; but a few minutes had scarce elapsed, when the iron door, screaming on ita hinges, bellowed through the murmuring rain. Sir Gawcn nearly fainted at the sound, which, pausing for sometime, again swelled upon the wind, and at last died away in shrill meloncholy shrieks; ogam oil waa silent, and again the same fearful noise struck terror lo his soul.— Whilst he was ihua agitated with horror and apprehension, a dim light streaming from be. hind, accompanied with a soft, quick and hollow tread, convinced Sir Gawen that something was pursuing him ; and, siruck with bewildering fear, he rushed unconsciously down the stops, (he vault received him, and its portal swinging to their close, sounded os the aenience of death. A dun. fniiid smoke Jfilled tho place, in the centre of which arose a faint and bickering flame. Sir Gawen approached, and beheld a corpse suspended over it, by the neck; its fat dropped, and the flame flashing ihrough the vault, gleamed on a throng of hideous and ghostly features, ihai now came forward through the smoke. Sir Gawen, with the desperate va¬ lor of a man who sees destruciion bef;iro him, ran furiously forward I a universal shriek burst forth ; the corpse dropped into ihe fire, which rising wiih ten-fold brilliancy, placed full in view the form of his infernal guide, dilated into horror itself; her face wos pale aa dealh ; her eyes were wide open, dead and fi.'ced ; a horri¬ ble grin sai upon her features ; her lips block, and hall pmrid, were drawn back, discloaing a eetofinrgQ ^^^^ teeth ; and her hair, standing siifily erect, was of wuhercd red. Sir Gawen fell his blood frcc/.c within him ; his limbs for-
shed a bright and mellow lustre on iis Biiriaco,  our aid in vain.  Tjpbn the moonbeam do we and^its banks, clothed with shrubs, breathed a "float, and light as air pervade the habitations

Enraptured with this sudden and unexpected change, Sir Gawen rose very genily from off the ground; over his head towered a large and majestic oak, at whose foot, by sorae kind and compassionate being he concluded he had been led. Delight and gratitude dilated hia hearty i and advancing from beneath the tree, whose gi' " gantic branchcB spread a large eitent of shade, a vale beautiful and romantic, through which
perfume more delightful than the odors of the east.
On one aide the ground, covered with a vivid, soft, diversified verdure, stretched on the borders of a large forest, and sweeping round, finally closed up the valley ; on the other it wasbroken into abrupt and irregular masses, awarded wilh moss, and from which there grew thick and apreading trees, ihe roots ol which were wash¬ ed by many a fall of water, which glided wiih a aweet musical and murmuring aound down the quiet valloy.
Sir Gawen forgot, in this delicious vale, all his former sufierings ; and; giving up his mind to lho pleasing influence of curiosity and won¬ der,' he deter»iined to explore the place by trac¬ ing the windings of thc streams. Scarce had he entered upon this plain, when music of the most ravishing sweetness filled theair;.6orae- timea ii seemed to float along the valley ; aome- timcB il aiolo along the surface of ibe water; now it died away among the woods ; and now, with deep and mellow sympathy, it swelled up¬ on thc gale.
Fixed in astonishment, Sir Gawen scarce ven¬ tured to brealhc; every sense, (save that of hearing,) seemed quite obsorbed ; and when the last faint warbling molted on his ear, he started from the spot, aolieitous to know from what be¬ ing ihose more than human strains hod parted ; but noihing appeared in view. The moon, full id unclouded, shone wiih unusual lustre ; the white rocks glittered in her beams, and filled th hope, he again pursued the windings of the water, which, conducting to thc narrowest part of tho valley, continued their course ihrough the wood. Sir Gawcn entered by a path, smooth' but narrow and perplexed, where, ahhough its branches were so numerous that no preference could be given, or any direct route long persist¬ ed in, yet every turn presented something to amuse—something to sharpen the edge of re- ioarch. The beamy of the trees, through whose interstics ths moon gleamed in a most pictur¬ esque manner—the glimpses of-the water, and notes of the nightingale, who now began to fill ihe valley with her song, were more than suffi¬ cient lo lake ofTtho aense of fatigue ; and he wandered on. still eager to explore—atillpanting for further discovery.
The wood now became more thick and obscure, and at length almost dark, when the path suddenly taking an oblique direction, Sir, Gawcn found himself on the edge of a circular lawn, whose tim and softness were beyond com¬ parison, and which seemed to have been lightly brushed by fairy feel. A number of fine old trees; around whose poles crept the ivy and the woodbine, rose ot irregular d:atances; here they mingled into groves ; and there, separate and emulous cf each other, ihey shook their airy summits in disdain. The water, which had been Ibr some time concealed, now mur¬ mured through a ihousand beds, and visiting each little flower, added vigor to its vegetaiion, and poignancy to its fragrance. Alflng the edg¬ es of Ihe wood, and beneath the shadows of the tn es, an innumerable host of glow-worms light ed their inocuous fires, lustrous as the gems ofj Golconda; and Sir Gawen, still desirous to en- i joy ihe scene, went forward on the lawn.
All W.IS calm; and c.Tcepi ihe breeze of night, | that sighed soft ond sweetly ihrough ihe world of leaves, a perfect silence prevailed. Not many minutes, however, had elapsed before the fame enchanting music, to which he had listen¬ ed with such rapture in the vale, again arrested his attention, and presently he discovered, on the border of ihe lawn, just rising above the wood, and floating on the boaom of the air, a being of tlie most delicate form- From his shoulders streamed a tunic of the lenderest blue, his wings and feet were clothed in downy silver, and in his grasp he hod a wand, white as the the mountain snow. lie rose swiftly in air, his brilliancy became excessive from the lunar rays, his song echoed ihrough the vault of night, but having quickly diminished in size ond appear ance of tho evening star, it died away and the next moment he was lost in either.
Sir Gawen fixed his eye where the vision had di£flppeared, ond soon had the pleasure of ogain aseing the star-like radiance, which in an instant unfolded itself into the fine and full dimensions of the beauteous being, who having collected dew from the cold vales of Saturn, now descen- dod ropidly towards ihe earth, and was waving hia wand, ns he pasaed athwart the wooda; a number of tike form and garb flew around him, and all alighted on the lawn, separated at equal distance on its circumference, and ihen, shaking their wings, which spread a delicious perfume ihrough the air buret into one general song.
Sir Gawen, who, apprehensive of being dis¬ covered, hod retreated within the shadow of two mossy oaks, now waited with eager expec- tation thc event of so singular a scene In a few moments a bevy of elegant nymphs, dancing two by two, issued from the wood on the right, and an equal number of warlike knights, accompanied by a band of minstrels, from that oflhe left. The knights were cloth- ed in green, on their bosoms shone a plate of burnished steel, and in their hands they grasp¬ ed a golden target and lance of beamy lustre. The nymphs, whose form and symmetry were beyond what poets dream, were dressed in robes of white ; their zones were azure, draped with diamoqds, and their light brown hair decked with roses, hung in ample ringlets. So quick, so light and airy was their motion, that the turf and the flowers shrank not to tho gen¬ tle pressure; and each smiling on her favorite knight, he flung his brilliant arms aside, and mingled in the dance.
Whilst they Ihus flew in rapid measures over the luwn, Sir Gawcn, forgetting his situation, and impatient to salute the assembly, involun- tirily stepped forward, and instantaneously a shrill and hollow gust of wind murmured through tho wood ; tbo moon dipped into a cloud, and the knights, the dames, and aerial spirits vanished from his view, leaving the amazed Sir Gawen to repent at leisure of his precipitate intrusion. Scarce, however, had he time to determine what he should pursue, when a beam of light flashed suddenly along the horizon, and the beauteous being whom he first beheld in the air, stood before him; he waved his snowy wand, and pointing to the wood, wbich now seemed sparkling with a thousand fires, moved gently on. Sir Gawen felt an irresistible influence, which compelled him to follow, and having penetrated the wood, be perceived many bright rays of light, which, darting liko the beams of tho aun, through every part of it, most beautifully illuminated the thick foliage,
As tbey advanced thc radiance became more intense,and converged towards the centre; and the fairy being, turned quickly round, com¬ manded Sir Gawen to kneel down ; and, having squeezed the juice of some aromatic herb into his eyes, bade hira now proceed ; but that no mortal, unless its powers of vision were in-1 creased, could endure tbe glory that-would shortly burst upon them. Scarce had he ut-, tered these worda "when they entered on an amphitheatre ; in its centre was a throne of! ivory, inlaid witb sapphires, on which sat a female form of exquisite beauty ; a plain coro¬ net of gold oblir^ucly crossed her flowing hair, nnd her robe of white satin, hung negligently in ample folds; around her stood five and twenty nymphs, clothed in wbite and gold, and holding lighted tapers ; beyond these were fifty of the aerial beinga, their wings of downy sil¬ ver stretched for flight, and each a burning ta¬ per in her hand ; and lastly, on the circumfer¬ ence of the amphitheatre, shone ono hundred knights iu mail of tempered steel; in ono hand they shook aloft a large targe of massy dia- monds, and in the other flashed a taper. So cscessiyo was the reflections, that the targes had the' lustre of an hundred suns, and when shaken, sent forth streams of vivid lightning; from the gold, the silver and sapphires, rush¬ ed a flood of tinted light, that mingling, threw upon thc eye a series of revolving hues.
Sir Gawen, impressed with awo, with won¬ der and delight, fell prostrate on the ground, whilst the fairy spirit advancing^, knelt and presented to the queen a crystal vase. She rose, she waved her hand, and smiling bade I Sir Gawcn to approach.
Gentle stranger," she exclaimed, " let not
of men. And hearken, 0 favored mortal! Itell thee, spirits, pure from vice, are present to thy iamost thoughts, when terror and when mad¬ ness, when spectres and when death surround¬ ed thcQ; our Influence puts to flight thc minis¬ ters of darkness; we placed thee in the moon¬ light vale, and now upon thy head I pour the planetary dew from Heoalo'a dread agents; it will free thee from bewildering fear, and gloomy superstition,"
She ended, and Sir Gawen, impatient to ei¬ press his gratitude, was about to speak, when suddenly the light turned pale and died away the spirita fled, and music, soft and sweet, woa heard remotely in the air. Sir Gawen started, and in place of the refulgent scene of magio, he beheld a public road, his horse cropping the grass which grew upon its edge; and a village at a Uttle distance, on whose spires tho sun was shedding his earliest beams
Here tha story ceases; whether thero is or not any farther connection or explanation, I am unable to say. In fact, it was with great difiiculty and desperate perseverance that I was able to decipher it from the mutilated ori¬ ginal manuscript.
Tm: COHDOH HUNT.
ay LIEUT. WM. F. LYSCn.
In each division of tho American Continent, nature seems to have carried on her operations with boundless magnificence, ond upon a gigantic scale. Chateaubriand, reclining by his watch- fire on the bonks of the Niagara, where the thunders of its cataract were only interrupted by the startling yell ofthe Iroquois, could yet feel, in the midst of tumult, the amazing silence and solitude of the North American forest. And the hardy moriner, whose bark has escaped the perils of the Southern sea, and is wafted along the western coast of Chili, looks with no less admi¬ ration upon ihe fertile plains gradually receding into, the swell of the Andes, which literally lifts its smoking craters and towering eminences above tho clouds, and upon its snow-capped and sunny summits, scarcely feels the undulations of the storms which gather and burst around its waist.
Wilh tho stars and stripes ofthe Union floaling from the mast-head ofour frigate, wo were sail¬ ing along lhat part oi the coast of Chili, where the wavingSine of the Andes rounda within a short distance oflhe Pacific,and were unusually aolieitous, after ihe perils and privations of a tempestuous sea-voyage, to tread upon a soil on wbich nature, from her horn of abundance, has poured forth the choicest of her gifts.
Older sailors than ourselves had spoken oflhe generous hospitality oflhe Spanish colonists, and there were historical associations connected with ihis favored land, well calculated to render a visit agreeable. Who that has been nurtured in the lap of freedom, would not long to look upon the only race of native people on the western conti¬ nent who bad never been subdued, ond who, to this day, tread Ihe soil of iheir forefathers un- vanquished and invincible?
The Araucanlans, who inhabit the southern portion cf this delightful country, like the Sax- ons ol the European coniineni, are ihe only native race who have successfully repelled every invader, ond who, happier ihan the Saxon, still rejoice in their unbridled freedom.
Neither Diego Almagro, with his brutol treachery, nor Volverdo, with his unsparing cruelty, could ever subdue or intimidate a race of freedom whose liberties StiU survive the fre- queni convulsions by which they have been agi lated. Thc flame of freedom among this gallant people, hke ihe volcanoes of their native moun- lains, seems dcfliined to burn on for ever unex¬ tinguished. But I proposed to speak of the Condor Hunt on the plains of Chili.
Every one has heard of ihe Condor or Great Vulture of the Andes, rivaling in natural histo¬ ry, the fabled feats oflhe Roc of Sinbad. Even ihe genius of Humboldt has failed to strip this giant bird of its limc-honored renown, and his effort to reduce lho Chilian Condor to the level of lho Lammergycr of ihe Alps, is a signal fail¬ ure.
A.hhough he has divesled this mouniain bird of all its fictitious attributes, and stripped a good¬ ly poriion of romantic narrative of its widest im- ogcryt yet the Condor atill floats in the solitude of the higher heavens, the monarch of thc feath¬ ered race. The favorite abiding-place of this formidable bird is along a chain of mountains in our southern conijneni, whose summits, lifted far above the clouds, ore robed in snow, which a torrid sun may kiss but never melt. Above al animal life, and beyond the limit of even moun tain vegeiation, ihese birds delight to dwell, inhaling an air loo highly attenuated to be en¬ dured by other than creatures peculiarly adapted to it. From the crown of these immense eleva¬ tions they slowly and lazily unfold their sweep¬ ing pinions, and wheeUng in wide and ascending circles, they soar upward into the dark bl fouli of heaven, until ihcJr great bulk diminishes 10 the merest speck, or is entirely lost to th aching sight ofthe observer.
" AU day tby wings havo fanned.
At lhat far height, the cold, thin ntmo.^pherc,
Vet stoop not. weary, to thc welcome land,
Though thc dark night ia near.
Thero is a Power whose core
Teaches thy way along that path leas con?t—
Tho desert and illimitoblo air—
Lone wandering—bnt not lost.
Thou art gone—thc abyss of heaven
Ilalh Ewallowed op thy form."
lo his side, ever and anon striking wuh unerring sagacity at his eyea.
Tell me not of the gladiators of martial Rome, or of ihe Touridors of modern Seville—ihey were pastimes for children compared wilh the thrilling exciiemeni of the Condor Hunt. Away they fled, and away we hurried in the chase. A ihousond horsemen were wheeling rapidly in pursuit—a thouaand cattle, terrified and fraiiiic, swept over the plain—and a thousand Condors mingled in the crowd—until, by the rapid move¬ ment, herd and Condor wore again hidden from the view in clouds of duet. A loud shout soon after attracted ua to the scene of conflict. Burst¬ ing forth once again from the cloud of duaijinto which he had vainly rushed, the devoted animal plunged madly forward, yet more.:losely follow¬ ed by the whole field of vultures. Black with dust, and streaming with blood from a hundred wounds, inflicted by the remorseless beaks of his pursuers, he slill fled onward, but with di¬ minished speed. As if looking to man for assis¬ tance In his extremity, ho rushed through the midst ofour cavalcade, and the Condor, regord- 'ess ofour presence, hung upon his side, or fol lowed in his footprints.
From the altered movement oflhe animal after I he had passed us. with his head on high, plung-' ing and blundering over the uneven ground, it | was evident that his course was no longer direct¬ ed by sight, Hia eyes were gone—they had been lorn from their bleeding sockets \
Wearied and panting, his tongue hangs from his nmuth, and every thirsty beak is upon it.—¦ Still onward he flies, hopeful of escape—and on¬ ward presses the Condor, secure of hia prey. The animal now appeared to be dashing for the walcr, but his declining speed and unequal step rendered it doubtful wheiher he could reach it. He seemed suddenly to despair of doing so, for wheeUng round wiih one last and desperate eflbrt, he gathered liimself up in the fulness of his remaining strength, ond rushed into the midst ofthe herd, as if he sought by mingling in the living mass, to divert the atlenlion of his pursuers. But the mark and the scent of blood wa3upon him, and outhe track of blood the Condor is untiring and relentless. Beast and bird once again were lost to view beneath the curtain of dusl which overspread the trembhng pfain. But, in a few moments, pursued by every bird, he broke from the midst cf the herd, and made a few deaperaie plunges toward the water, and reeling onward, fell at length bleeding and exhausted, on the very margin of tho seal!

fear appal your heart, for to him whom cotir- age, truth, and piety have distiugmshed, our friendship and our love is giTen. Spirits of the blest we are; our aweet employment is to befriend the-wretched and the weary, to lull the torture of anguiah. aud the horror of des- pair Ah \ never ahaU the tear of innofienoe. or the plaint of «onon-^the pang of injured
In those pure fields of ether, unvisiicd even by the thunder-cloud, regions which may be regar¬ ded as his own exclusive domain, ihe Condor delights to aail, and with piercing glance surveys the surface of ihe earlh, toward which he never stoops but at the coll of hunger. Surely this power 10 waft and to sustain himself in '.he loft¬ iest regions of tho air—the ability to endure,! uninjured, the exceeding eold attendant upon' such remoteness from the earth, and to breathe ! with ease in an atmosphere of such extreme rariiy—togelher with the keenneEs of aightthat, from snch vast heighie can minutely scan ihe objects beneath, as well as the formidable pow- era of this bird, when the herds are scattered before him : were sufficiently admirable to enli- lie the Condor to our attention, and to give us promise of goodly sport in ihe approaching Con¬ dor or Lasso Hunt.
A large landed proprielor, a deacendaniof one of the early Spanish patentees, to whom we had been indebted for abundant supplies of fruii and proviaiona, as well aa for numberless civiljiiea, conveyed to us at length the welcome tidings thai the Condor, numerous as thc sands ofthe shore ; had stooped fiom his sublime domain, to the base of the mouniain, nnd thai the hum would commence in the morning.
The aun had scarcely risen in the heavens, when our party ot from fifieen lo thirty-five, sprang from ihe boats lo the beach. The plain iieforc us rnn in a genily ascending slope to the base of the hill about one mile distant. The hunt waa up—and the field in ihe distance was dotted with scampering herds of cattle and groups of horsemen, mingled in one dusty melee, iho sighl oi which lent wings to our speed, as vault ing into the deep Spanish saddles, prepared by our worthy host, we sprang onward to ihe field of blood. Impelled by the cravings of resistless appetite, the Condor, regardless of danger, pre.qs ed forward to aasail thc herds of lhe*plain while (lie watclimen, having sounded the alarm the numerous population lurned out, as .well id protect iheir caiile, as to hum ihe mouniain-bird ihe Chilian's manly pastime.
From ihe midst of a canopy of dual, spread wideoverilio plain, there camo forth sounds of noisy conflict, resembling the heady current ofa "foughten field," and mouniain and hill-aide were shaken by the shouts of the hunters, the tramp of scampering horsemen, and the bellow¬ ing of enraged and affrighted callle. The Con¬ dor, alone, rapid as the cassowary of the desert, pursued in silonco his destined prey. As we rapidly approached, we perceived ono of the herd bursting from the western extremity of the cloud of dust, iDshing his side with his tail, and his blood-alioiten eyes starting wildly from iheir sockets, while foaming at the moulh, ho bellow¬ ed loudly with pain. With a wonderful unity of purpose, he alone was closely pursued by ihe whole flock of birds, who, disregarding the other animals, seemed lo follow,' as with a single' will, ibis stricken one, who waa at the same lime cau¬ tiously avoided by hia terrified companions.— Like all gregarious birds* the Condor appeared to have a leader, who, ruahing at their head, in¬ to the midst of the herd, pounced with his greedy beak upon this devoted animal, the fat- est and tho aleekoBt of the multitude, and tore a piece of fleah from his side. Attracted by the eight or the went of blood, the whole flock, like a brood of harpioa, join«d in the mad pursuit.-*- Swift of foot &a tht fleetest racer, thoy kept cloie
" Stcrnitur c.\aniniisquo tremens procumbit humis hufi " In an instant he was hurried up among his pursuers, his fiesh torn off", yet quivering, by hungry beaks, an:i his emoking entrails trailed upon the ground. In the distance, on the verge ofthe horizon, the last oflhe herd nilghi still bg discerned, flying upon the wings of ihe wind from the fnie of ibeir companion.
.Our host gave the eignal, and we hurried to lho spot to rescue ihe carcass, with nview to visit upon ihe Condor vengeance for the mischief! he had done, and the blood he had spilled. At ournear approach ihey look relucianily, »nd lazily 10 wing, and wheeling in oblique circles, they were soon seen floating over tho crest of the | mountain, dark Bpecky in ihe firmament. The hunters, prepared with stakes about aeven feet in length, commenced driving them in the ground, a few inchea apart, and in a circular form around the carcass, leaving a small space open. As soon as we retired from the spot, the birdsdescended upon the plain, and entering the inclosure, renewed their feast, and again took wing. In the course, ofa few hours, the hunts¬ men reiurned, and throwing into the pen an ad¬ ditional supply of Jood, drove down other stakes in the open space, leaving just sufficient room for ihe admission of the Condor.
The birds, more numerous than ever, relum¬ ed to their filthy banquet.
Meanwhile having refreshed our horses, and partaken of the hospiialily of our worthy host, wc once more took thu field of vengeance on the gorged and lazy foe. As the wings of these birds have a sweep of seventeen feet, they are not readily unfurled, so thai when ihe Condor has alighted on thc plain, he is only enabled to rise by running over a space of fifteen or twenty rods, and gradually gathering wind to lilt him- selfonhigh. While inthe midsi of iheir ra¬ venous feast, a few oflhe hunters warily ap. preached ond dosed tiie opening; and thus, unable lo soar aloli from a spot so confined and crowded, the Condors were captive. CulaChil- ian scorns thus to slay a loc. Armed with a lasso, each of tint natives sits upon his horse, eagerly awaiting ihe turning loose of half a doz- en birds from the inclosure.
They are oul—andaway scamper ihe Condor, fleet as ite winds of heaven—and away, in rapid pursuit, wheels the mounted Chilian, swinging around his head the noose of the unerring lasso, which, falling upon ihe neck of ihe bird, makes him captive. Thia line is played out, and awny sweeps the powerful bird, and away ihe practis¬ ed horseman after him. Springing upward, the Condor now unfolds his wings and flutters in such width ol circle as the rope will permit nnd now shoots perpendicularly upward—ond now falls headlong, nnd is trailed exhausted on the ground.
The lengthened shadows of evening hod fallen along the plain before ihe sport was up, and ihe last Condor was captured. We reiurned lo our ship, well pleased with lho enteriainment, and swinging into our hammocks sunk into a deep slumber, for which the exercise of the day had prepared us—hui oursicep was (oo sound for refreshing visitations from friends far away, " O'er the glad wutcrd of tho deep bluo sea.

A WORD FOR TIIE LADIES. The English women mc healthy in body, nnd of course in minJ. Sickly eenllmenlaliam, and a '* rosewaier philantrophy," which expends it- acU over French romances and artificial flowers, haa no loi nor portion in iheir characters. They are womc7i. And their children are worthy of them, for they are red cheeked, of atoul mus¬ cles a[id nimble gait, of fine health and appetite, The reaaon of all this is that the English wo¬ men exercise more in the open air than our wo¬ men do. An English woman of refinement thinks-nothing of walking a half a dozen miles, nothing oi riding on horseback twenty, nothing of leaping on tho back of a trusty animal, and jumping hedges and ditches in pursuit of game, I remember once being at William and Mary Howitt'a, when sorae of them proposed that we should make a h'ttic family visit to Epping For est, distant some four or five milea. The thought never entered my head that they pro¬ posed going on foot. As Wd crossed over the threshold of ihe door I was expecting the next mome-it lo help the two ladies making our par¬ ty inio the carriage; but I saw no carriage; and when I asked where was the carriage, 1 got for a reply, " We are going on foot ol course !" And so wo walked ali the way there, and rambled all the day long over the beautiful forest, and nt night walked back to "The Elms." I kept looking at ihe ladiea while wc were ro- furning, cTpecting to sec them fainl away, and finally, when we all^ sat down on the green sward for a momeni, I ventured very quietly to aak one of them : '* Are you not very tired ?'* I gol for a reply a merry ringing laugh, and a *'To be sure not. I could walk half a dozen miles farther yei!" When I got home, I was 30 fatigued aa lo bo unable to aland wiihoui great pain and trouble, and waa obliged to ac¬ knowledge that the Enghah ladies wero my bu- periora in physical powers of endurance. I saw at once the secret of thoir glorious health, ihcir buoyancy and flow of apirits. It waa their habits of e-xercise out of doors.
I was once conversing with an English lady who waa near eighty yenrs old—the mother of a distinguished writer—upon this capital habit of walking which the ladies of England have, when ahe broke forth wiih, " When I waa a' young woman, and in the counlry, I used to walk ten milea to church on a Sunday morning, and back again after service '." Anoiher cause of the brilliant health of English women is their natural lovo for horticulture. An English lady' is at home in her garden among the flowers, and, I know of no more beautiful aighl in the world than lhat of a fair open-browed, roay-cheeked woman among a garden full oi choice plants and gorgeous flowers. Talk of your merry creatures in hot drawing-rooms, '* by the light of the chandelier"—tothe marines! Here is beaulyXresh from God's hand and Nature's— hero are human flowers and those of Nature blooming together.
