[From tbo'Cnpublishod Chnmidoof» Tr«T«ller.] It is well known to all in any degree fa- yailiar with the history ot Mezico.'that a will be required for entertainment on the way, and «o much for the contingency you speak of, he will then have the exact cost between two points; and if he will look at the whole a» the sum total of his jour¬ ney, he will not aeem to be robbed by any one party more than another." "That," I replied, "maybe, I believe i«, the Uexicah mode of doing busineas, but Joes not tally with the preconceived ideas of us fsreigaers," " But every one," replied the fair spea¬ ker, " should conform to the customs of the country he visits." "And do ym. then go prepared for this highway robbery ? and have you no fear in journeying by youraelf?" "Well, Senor, what can I do ? I nm as you perceive au unprotected lady ; wbo, for certain leaaons, am required tomake tho journey between Perote aad the Ca. pital some twice or thrice a year, and yon certainly could not expect mo to go pre¬ pared to resist an armed band! As to fear I will not deny I have my share of that. but BO far, I never have met with any rough treatment, and of course, I trust to the saints that my fortune will be ever aa propitious." And have you really been robbed on your journey baek and forth 1" I inquired. " I think I have paid my share to the ladronfs for my transit through their coun¬ try !" she laughed. "And you expect to continue a repeti- of thesame through therest of your life." "Who knoirs?" she replied. "At least I hope I may be always prepared." "Andyour fellow travellers;" said I; " have you never seen any disposed to re¬ sist these unlawful acts ?" "Once, Senor, an Amerioan and an Englishman who were in the same dili¬ genoia with me, fired upon the robbera, killing one and wounding two.". " And did the robbers fire back ?" "Yes, but fled immediately, and fortu¬ nately injured none of our party." " As I should have expected," returned I. " You were not robbed on that occa¬ sion, I suppose ?" " We were not, Senor; but the two for¬ eigners subsequently paid dearly for their resiatance; for in journeying baok and forth, both were killed, separate and at different times, near-the same spot. Iou see those crossej by the aide of tbe road, Senor?" I bave observed them frequently, but here they seem to be much more numer- ou-'," I replied, looking forth from the vehicle. Each one stands on the spot where lo^ie one has met a violent death," she rejoined; " and as we go along. I will call your attention to the places where the foreigners met theirs." " Bo you know,' said I, ' that I am re¬ solved fo emulate their example, let the consequences be what they may ?" " Holy saints defend us," she exclaim¬ ed ; " you are not in earnest, Senor ?" " Seriously ao, I assure you." " You would only bring certain death upon us botb." " Say rather, I should lighten the ex¬ penses of the journey—for your knights of the road undeistand retreat as well as advance—and you youraelf have ackowl- edged that firm resistance put them to flight at once." But there were numbers opposed to them, Senor, and you ara only one." "But fortunately I have a couple of re¬ volvers, which, in two good hands, amount to some ten or a dozen shots, nnd my*, friends have repeatedly told mo that 1 was not a bad marksman." " Ah 1 Santa Maria ! you will think better of this, Senor—tho very idea of re¬ sistance terrifies me I" " But not the idea of robbery ?" " Beoause I have never met wilh vio¬ lence.' We continued to converse in a similar strain some time longer—my fair com¬ panion gradually changing the subjeot, and seeming much interested in myself. I learned that she was unmarried, that her father and brothers were officera,in the army, and so forth, and so on; and in re¬ turn I gave her my own name, stated something of my history, business and prospeots, and altogether became more communicative than I would advise nny regular system of highway robliery exists in every seotion of that miserably govern¬ ed country; and that through a want of interference of the authoritiea, this has rown up into such a regular and formi¬ dable shape, that every traveller mual be prepared to put his life at hazard at every stage, or be provided with a suitable con¬ tribution for loi cahelleres del camino (the knights of the road,) who, in the event of finding you prepared and willing, will make their levy with a politeness only equaUed by the smiling landlord, when he receives your overcharged fare for the last night's entertainment. Why such » systematic boldness of robbery is allowed —if not with the connivance, at least with rarely any interference, of the govern¬ ment or state authorities—ii one of those mystical matters which among othen so puzzles and perplexes the intelligent for" eigners, hut that such is tho disagreeable *iruth, every traveller through that wretch¬ ed country can bear ample testimony. Some years ago, having business which first called me to the Capital of Hexico, and henco through the interior of the country to tbe northward, I met with several thrilling adventures, which I re¬ corded for the benefii of whosoever may take an interest therein, omitting only the dates, they being non-essential to the interest of the narrations themselvea. The first of the series occurred on the route between Vera Cruz and the city of iUexico. In tbe regular diligenpia run¬ ning between the placea just mentioned, I had tnken passage, and had pasaed "^""""""'cauve man i wouia advise nny r^" ^^-J" through lhe beautiful city of Jalapa, and friend to be with any stranger of either ^^ entered the eloomv town of Peroti.. witb- aeX in a atrange country. '^ entered the gloomy town of Perote, with out meeting with any unusual incident, though being continually warned to be on my guard againat the dangers of the * road. At Perote, whera wo haltod for a relay and refreshments, all my fellow- passengers took leave of mo, very solemn¬ ly assuring me, that if assailed by the la' drones, or robbers, it would be much better for me to take mattera quietly, and aufier myself to bo generally plundered, than (0 run the risk of having my throat cut for resistanoe, as I bad somewhat boldfy proclaimed it was my inlention of doing. I thanked them for their advice, and re¬ plied that I would take the matter into serious consideration. At Perote, I repeat, all who had been my companions from Vera Crui took leave of me, this being the end of tbeir journey in that direction, hut there was one new passenger to go forward', whom to roy agreeable surprise, I found to be a beaU; • tiful young lady, some twenty years of age. Senorila Paula, as I subsequently ascer¬ tained ber name to be, was in indeed one of those rare beauties seldom met with ezcept in works of fiction—tall, graceful, with a profusion of long, black hair—soft, clear, melting dark eyes—a» perfect as over came from the hands ofthe sculptor, and with an animation the moat fascina¬ ting, varying in expression with every obangint, mood of the intellectual poaaea. sor. A glance at her bewitching dart eyes, showed me that she was one who waa naturally of a social disposition ; and as we rattled away from the gloomy town, I took tho liberty of opening a converaa-: tion. "They tell me," aaid I, "that the roufo between here and Mexioo ia a very dan¬ gerous one to travel." "There is little.to' fear,", ahe Mplied, with a aweet smiloJand in s molodioui > tone. !' except from [the profeMioma'rob- bets, and they aeldom liwm anj on«.whg \ . makef noreaUtinoe.'" S'.S^^-^fsb^i^K? As we oontinued our journey, the con¬ versation gradually changing from one thing to another, Senorita Paula sudden- y brought it back to the point where it first opened. " We are ooming upon a dangerous part of the road,' ehe aaid; ' are you still reaolved to defend yourself if assailed 1" " With your permission, Senorita ?" " I don't think it advisable," she re¬ plied, '* but still if such is your intention, \ thinl; it ;io more than right that you should give me a chance to take a part in my defence! aince my risk of danger will boaagrea.tas yours!" " And havo you really the nerve, after all, to defend yourself ?" •' If I had the means, Senor." "Ihave two pistols," said I; "if you will accept one of them, it is at your ser¬ vice !" " You are very kind, Senor—^but can I fire it ?" " ^'th ewe, Senorita;" and producing one of my revolvers, I explained to he^ the manner in which it was to be nsed. "And this, you say, will shoot some balf a'doien times?" "Ithinkitsafeto calculate that five ohargea out of six will explode, Senorita." "A very formidable weapon, indeed 1" Bhe replied; " and with suoh I canalmosl fency TVe are safo. You have another you «ay like this?" I prodaoad it. "What a beantiful invention!" she ob¬ served, reaching oyer and taking it from my hand. Then extending ber'hands, onsof theraTolTOr»in each; she contin. tied: '-'Atmod like this, one inight almoit coiiiit himself safe agaiost a-lirat 1 - Yoa iwiy this it £re'din this mauier t'.'ahepro.- iMMiad;;oookiog'on'e6fth'e.winiiom :iT«*«i,;<^a i>«ntiiig^it teWarS^ ma^ li: "Have*..<)aro,.iBendriU; otf yoa' wffl port. A minuto after, and whilo I was gently chididg her, we hoard a loud, quick tramp of horses, and aeveral sharp, rapid exclamations. The next moment our conveyance was atopped suddenly, and we aaw ourselves aurrounded by some eight oc ten mounted men, one of whom, in a loud voioe, exclaimed. " Yield yourself prisonera, or die 1" "Quick, Senorita," said I, extending my hand; " qujpk! in Heaven'a- name! give me one of those weapons, for now is the timo for decisive action 1" " If ay," she replied, putting the weap¬ ons behind her, " You will be too hasty. Let them suppose we yield—lef them open the door." " Oh, no 1 it will thon be too late !" , As I spoke, the door was suddenly thrown open, and three or four awarthy, heavily bearded men preaented them¬ selves to my view. " Quick, Senorita, for the love of God 1" I cried, grasping at her arm. "Holdl" ahe exclaimed, instantly pre¬ senting one of my revolvera at my head. Eesistance is useless—you are our prison¬ er!" "GreatGod!" I exclaimed, perfeotly astounded; " our prisoner did you say ?— It is not poasible that one so fair and love¬ ly as yourself, is in any manner connected with these banditti." " It is even so, Senor, she replied, with one of ber most bewitching smiles, still kejpingone of my own weapons turned against myself, and significantly pointing the other towards the door. " You will oblige U3 by stepping forth and giving yourself into the care of of thoso good gentlemen, who will see that you are Ireated as a brave man should bo, but who will trouble you men.ntime for any little change and valuables yoa might have to apare!" There seemed to be no help for it—the beautiful Senorita Paula Valerde was a spy and accomplice of tha ladrones. She had entered the dilligenciaat Perote for no olher purpose than to ascertain the exact condition of things inside, and be able to signalize her associates as she passed along, so that they might know exaotly in what manner to conduct them¬ aelves and make their work sure, without risk. By a simple stratagem she had ob¬ tained my arms, just at the point where she knew the attack would bemade; and ber discharge of the pistol as if by acci¬ dent, was tho sign to ehow them that all was secure. " I acknowledge myself conquered by being outwitted!" said I, bowing fo la Senorita. Then turning to tha robbers, who had now collected in a body, in front of the door of the diligencia, I continued: "Gentlemen, will you permit me to alight and raake you aomo v.iiuable pres¬ ents ? In the language of your country, ail I have ia youre." The leader of the party bowed politely in return, and said, with a grim smile : "Si, Sanor, we would be most happy to receive anything which so distinguished a traveler may have to bestow." With tfais I quielly stepped from tho vehicle ; and one quick, se.irching glance put mo in possession of tho wholo atate of affairs. Tbe dilligenoia had been stop ped in a wild, gloomy place, and the dri¬ ver waa setting carelessly on his box, taking everything aa » matter "of course- He might also be an accomplice of ths robbers, or he might not, but in either case there was little hope of assiitance from him—any attempt of lhe kind would cer¬ tainly bring upon him a severe puniah¬ ment, aooner or later. I glanced up and down the read, where it wound -between dark, overshadowing trees, but diacovered nothing to give mo any hope. The rob¬ bera, some eight or ten in number, and all well armed, wero collecting around me, part of them mounted, and the others standing on their feet, holding their mus¬ tangs by the bridle. Looking upon my case ae a desperate one, so far as being plundered was conoerned, I still retnined roy preaenoe of mind, and did not wholly despair. True, I bad beeu outwitted, and disarmed, and now stood singly between numbers; but the idea of yielding to tbis - outrage was repugnant tomy very nature, and I resolvod to put the least favorably opportunity for defence and retaliation to the strongest test. " Will you accept this purse?" said I, producing one that held several gold coins, and handing itto the chief of the Ictdrones. " Thank you, Senor,"you are very kind," he said, ns he took it in h'is hand and chinked the monoy. " This diamond pin may prove accep¬ table toyour friend," I added, as I quiet¬ ly removed it from tho bosom of my shirt and handed it to the gentleman on his left, who reoeived it in the same polite manner. " This diamond ring I trust you will retain as a keepsake," I contin¬ ued, drawing lhe jewel from my finger and presenting it to a third. "I beg your par¬ don, Senorita," I pursued, glancing at the Senorita Paula, who, with my pistols in her possession, was qnii-tly standing with¬ in the diligencia, regarding tho whole ings witb one of {her sweet¬ est smilea. " I must not forget this beau¬ tiful lady ! I hnve here," I went on, at the same producing the article, "an very beautiful gold snufi'box—set, as you per¬ ceive, wilh diamonds—will your ladyship 1 • •¦ - " A.dai09, Senorita and Senores 1" said I,'bitterly, "ho laughs beat who laughs lasti" The next moment I was dashing away down the road tbe half rallied robbera pouring after me a volley, but fortunato- not touching their mark. They would doubtless have followed me in bot pursuit, but for the wholesome dread they had of my still undischarged weapon. As it was I eaoaped, andentored tho town of Puebia in triumph ; where it ia almoat needless to add, a narrative of my exploits mado me a hero and lion for tho time. Here I sold my captured mustang and trap¬ pings forienough to idemnify me for what I disposed of in the way of preaents, and the next day saw me an inside paaaenger of the sama diligencia, en route for Mexi¬ oo, where I arrived in safety, without any farther event worthy of note. What became of the robbers and tbeir beautiful accomplice I never learned; but the lesaon taught me on tbat journey I have never forgotten; and during the re¬ mainder of my stay, in that country, no pretty women ever had tho honor to be my business confidante, or of getting pos¬ session of my trusty and unfailing revol¬ vers.

"Giva bim a halfpenny,,'was the reply, ."and you will sue." Tho dog on receiving the money immediately went to a baker's ahop and with the-opin purcha¬ sed a cake. The surprise felt at this eight was increased bythe tale whioh his frjend then related. Thia dog was aooustomed to deal regularly with that baker; but somo tjme since I happened to be in the shop when ho came in to make a purchase, and all tho stock was gone except ona half cake. This the baker gave the dog for faia money; h« looked at it, thon at been fully equal, in tfaeae respects, toany of them. Italian greyhounds however, are of two kinda: one coming from the south of Italy, of rather stronger build than tho other, but perfeot in symmetry, and dis¬ covering qualities of a higher order. Of this sort was the dog how referred to; it waa brought into this oountry when six months oid; and the following are merely a few out of many proofa of its sagacity and love. In the pariah where its mistress resided, daily prayera were offered at the church .. I v-./ H'"/"" were ottered at the church him, and grumbled his disaatiafaotion ;' a milo and a half distant; and thither the butl patted the dog, urging him totake lady regularly proceeded, aocompanied the cake, wbich at length he did very ¦ by her dog, who remained, however, du. reluctantly, and walked away. I then ring the service at the lodgo of a friend'a charged the baker hot to cbeat the poor house close by. But on Sundays, though dog, but to give him tho faalfoako duo the lady atarted at precisely the same hiin as soon as he had ono. Some tine tiq»e, tho greyhound never offered to after, happening to bo in his ahop and leave ttio house; it proceeded only to tho tbe dog pasaing by,- I aaked if he had door, watched its mistress as long as she ever given the dog the halfKsako he owed i.was in sight; then retarned to its accus- himf- "No sir," ssid tha baker, "I have j tomed place; and only appeared at the not; ho has never once been injny shop' door again to welcome the lady's return since." I now eailed the dog in, and home. begged tho baker to givo him a cake; ho Por more than four years after this Ita. did so; thus the mattor naa satisfactorily j Han graybound came into the possession settled, and from that day to this tbe i of this lady, she was accustomed to take dog has continued his custom at thesame a great deal of exercise: walking, riding, shop. or driving, in all of which the dog was in- A dog accompanied a lady on a long varibly her companion.

The dog was about as usual during the day, in tho evening it was miaaed, and search waa made for it in vain. The next post brought a solution of tho mystery. Tho off, but exceedingly wet snd dirty, hav- *¦? ing faad to swim rivers as well as to en¬ counter the usual troubles on tho road.— I,know wall two daughters of that lady, ona of whom told me the tale, Besiding for many years in the neigh¬ borhood "of London, I suffered, like all such persons, the nuisance of tramps trea¬ ding as they chose about the garden, knocking and ringing for the servanta, and then pestering tbem with thair rub¬ bishing wares. O.ie gentleman.-lookiog out from his breakfast-parlor, seeing ono lienor me by accepting this, as a slight token of my regard for tbe pleasure affor¬ ded mo by your company aad conversa¬ tions ?" "Youare a very gallant gentleman, Senor," she laughed, taking the two re¬ volvers in one fair hand, and presenting tho other. I reaohed tbe box towards her—but my hand trembled a little, and just as tho present was about to touch ber fingers, it slipped and fell between us. " A tbousand pardons, Senorita, for awkwardness," I eaid, as I bent down to pick itup. Now was the all-important moment— the moment of life and death I All were in a measure off their guard; and ono quick, furtive glance showed mo that tho girl still held my weapons carelessly in one hand, with tbe otber remaining ex¬ tended for the prize. I lifted the box carefully; but as I raiaed myaelf I gavo a wild,startingyell;andaa the Senoritastar- ted back, I, with the quickness of light¬ ning, seized both weapoiu and wren¬ ched them from her.

A friend of mine was lately on a viait at a manaion in one of the suburbs nf Bristol, tho reaidence of one of its mer¬ chants, when he observed a very fino set¬ ter come regularly to the breakfast table, about which he was told the following story : One day the setter went out, ac¬ companied by a liltlo yelping cur, belong¬ ing to the houso of busineas, when it be¬ oame displeased by the other's snappings and barkings. The softer evidently thought such violeat conduct demanded punishment, so taking up the littlo brute it coolly placed it under the wheel of a cirt that was passing, and then walked away. The dogs of farm bouses are often very sagacious. Ono of these buildings stood back from the road, and wbon Uenes heard the foot of a stranger at the gate he became violently agitated, and intentonly on seizing the intruder, but when his master's tread was heard there Menes re¬ mained quietly before the fire until he of the tail, and a look whicb said aa plain¬ ly as any dog's oould, " You -see I knew il was you."

Tb- dog was for somo time incessantly enga¬ ged in searching for her; but, at length, as the bedroom remaiued unoccunied, these earnest wanderings ce-ised. Vfhen tho mistress had been absentabout three months, the bouse was full of company, and a lady occupied tho bedroom for two or threa nights. The dog was dozing by aw.iy, when tbis visitorfirstrangher bell: instantly it started up, listened most at. tentively and tben rushed up stairs in the these movements, soon followed to tbe well-known bedroom, but met tho dog re- tu-ning from it grievously diaappointed. "Theteara," shesaid, "were ioilingdowri its face, pitiful to see; and its expression was confirmed by the lady, who was also spectator of the dog's sorrow. ' ' The dogs of the poiicc, the regiment, the oollege even those of undertakers; nnd IL betn justly celc-braled; but horo ia one, well kuown to aome friends of mine, but hitherto andeecribed, and yel he has as st/ong and strange a. penchant as any of them—it is attending for public gather¬ ings. He went sometimes to church ; but aa he was always turned out of'the snored edifice, he sought out. and actually found some assemblies where his social feelings migbt be gratified wilbout hard words from the lip or a kiok in tho ribs. Davon, a small terrier, seems lo discover when any of the family in ¦which he lives have determined to go to some meeting. How ho does so nobody can lell; but ho is sure to be found by lhem at tho meet¬ ing-door. Tea aaeetinghave become com¬ mon of lale years in conneclion wilh re¬ ligious and benevolent objects. Theso have for Devon a special attruction. The iast he attended, when I heard tho storyi" was a distance of tbree miles from home ' yet, at the door he was found on lho ar¬ rival ofhis friend.5, punctual aa usual.— Not, strange to tell, that ba gets " a bit or a drop" on any of these occasions; it is enough for Devon to lie- down quietly on tho floor from^ho beginning to the end of whatever takes plaoe, and thon to go home. When the end oomes, he does not linger a moment, but starts off at once; and perhaps, ono motive ia that he knows, poor little thing, that ha is sure to be carried home if found on the road, and wishes to prevent any ono baving this trouble. Some time ago, a special meeting waa to be held at a place about two miles from bome, and he was not seen by any of his young friends; but, in tho .course of the proceedings, a person got up and took an umbrella belonging to one of them, when Devon started up, barked -«».. .»o I buouj, wuea j-'oyon siarcea up, oarlced could reeeive him with a joyous wagging! loudly at the culprit, and tbus, fortho firat that evening, gave proof of his pres anco. As soon as the umbrella was re¬ turned, but not before, the wary dog ro" turned quietly to his place. On another occaaion of the same kind, '8 a friend of Devon's put his hat under a ¦" form ; when the dog, as if apprehensive ofits being in danger, rose from hiyilace arrived at the'place where the sheTp wire 7^"^ ^-T"'" " ""'J° "" ""^ °' ^'' to be washed, there .Jltl.l^JLT': ''''' "''f'^ ^«^.°° «<""<^ ^im by the trou sers, and would not let them go until the hrr,„„\,t f,<™.ii,o- „ . , ¦ """¦ """ wouia-not let lhem go unt thc trolalsflso whr^ 'f ' ""''•.'"' °'^«'"'" ""'' -^'°-J '^^ '^''to i'= <•" the iambs also ; when the farmer said to Tn<.rt,I»,.o Th:„ !,._._ uici place This, however, waa done You fool, wby did ycu bring quietly: had he barked, ho would have Wo want onlv.h».l,-.»^"_ ,j^^ ^ ^^ o„j. ^^ ^^ only-looked, and quietly growled hia high displeasure.

Many a lover's heart I had laceratod by refuiiing his offer of marriage, after I had lured him on to a declaration. M.\ last violin's name wna James Frazer. Ho was a tall, awkward, homely, ungainly man, but bis heart was true as ateel. I respected him highly, and felt pained when I witnessed his an¬ guish at my rejection of him. But tlio faot was, I had myself fallen in lova with Captain E!liot, Who had fceen unremitting in his devotion to me, Mr. James Frazer warned me ngninst Elliot; but I eharged him with jeiilouBy, and took his warning as an insult. A few days afterwards E'liot and I were engaged, and my drenm of romantio lova seemed tobe ina fair way of realizilion. I had a. week of happiness. Many have not so mucb in a lifetime. Miinj^ awnke fromtlie bright sbort dream to find them¬ selves in life-long darkness, and bondage from whioh there is no esoape. ,Th.in k God, I was not to be eo miserable as thoy 1 i My mother was a widow in good circum¬ stances, but having very bad health.— She was also of an easy, listless, credu¬ lous nature—hating trouble, and willing totake things just as thoy happen to present themselves. She therefore mado no inquiries about Captain Elliot—But fondly belived thut inasmuch as he w.is a captain he must necessarily be a man of honor slso, especially as ho served in Crimea and Indian wars and won medals. His regiment was quartered in our neigh¬ borhood, and he bad the reputation of being one of the wealthiest, as bo wa.? certainly the handsomest officer in it. I remember well the day we becamo engaged. He was on duly, but had man¬ aged to ride over to our house in. his uni¬ form, and whilo we were walking in the garden ha made the t;>ndor avowal. I referred him to "mamma;" he hast¬ ened to her—returned in two minute.i.an J le'd rae inlo her presence to receive the assurance that the maternal consent had beon readily and freely given. My dear mother hated trouble, and she moreover loved mo tenderly; so that ahe was woll xileased lo find a husband presonting himself in a form and manner apparently so eligible for her beloved and ouly daughter. Well a. week passed quite delightful as I have said; and nt tho e-'cpiiati'in a party was winding through bur okl Devonshire woods and quiet country roads. Elliot and I led the civalo.ide. I roda my own .be.iutiful brown Bjsa. Captain Elliot wai m"unted on a b:m*lsomo black hor.se flint had been sent him from London. l''olio'iT- inj; us wns a br-vy of meriy girls aud llieir cavaliers; and among lh»m was tall, awk¬ ward and silent James Frnzer. Ilis pres¬ ence had marred all tbe pieasuro of my ride, and 1 was glad to bo in advanco of them nil lhat I migbt not sea him. And so we rodo on throuph the woods. and I liatened, well pleased, to the low but onimalpd worda of the gallant Elliot, who wished himselt.a knight and me a faira ladye of tho oldpu time' that ho mifrht go forth lo do battle and compel all men to recognize the olaima of his peer¬ less love. . Very eloquently ho spoke of tho inspiration of love, of the brave deeda and perilous exploits it had promoted, wiahing again and ¦ again that ho might proclaim nnd maintain his loyftbeforc the world. It pleased me to listen lO' this and to believo it sincere, though I surely had no wish to put roy lover to suoh a test. ' A shot suddenly r.ing through the woods and a woundod bird, darting past, flutter'd and fell at the feet of brown Bess. With a bond and a spring that nearly un¬ seated me. she was off. Struggling to regain my seat, I had no power to check her, and even asshe flaw, the fear and madness of themomentgrow upon her. I o5uld only cling broathl ess- ly to the mane and bridlo, and wondor helplessly where this mad gallop was to end. Sho swerved from a passing wagon, and turned into a path that led to_ tho river. In the sudden movement tho j reins had been torn from' roy hands and I could not regain them. I clung to tbe mane and closed my eyes, that I might not behold thefato that awaited mo.-^ How sweet was life in thosa precious mo¬ ments thatl thought my last! How all itsjoys, its affections, its last crowning love rose up before me! I thought of tho pang that would rend Elliot's heart as he saw me lying, mangled atid dead ; and then tho thought would como if ho were pursuing and trying to save me, oven, as ho had said, at the risk of lifo and liinb. I remembered no moro. I felt a suddon shock, a fearful rushing through the air, and knew no more until days aftorsv.ird, X woko to a faint, weak semblanoo of life ih my chamber afc homo. I never saw Captain Elliot again. The last words I ever heard from liis lips were those of knightly daring The last ao¬ tion of his lifo in conneclicin with miue, was lo follow in tho train of frightened youths who rode after me, to contemplate the disaster from afar, and as soon as he a.iw rae lifted from tha shallow bi-d of tbe rirer, into whicb 1 had been thrown whon my frightened horse stopped auddeuly on its banks, to ride hastily off. That even¬ ing hesent to make enquiries, and learn¬ ing that I was severely,, but it was hoped not latally, injured, he thenceforth con¬ tented himself with suoh tidings of my condition and improvement as could be gained from mere rumor. At last it was known that I would never recover entirely from the effects of my injury,.«nd that vory day Captain Elliot- departed suddenly from tbe neighbor¬ hood. H^ made no attempt to see roe nor aent me any farewell,' iVtieo I wus onoo more abr„ad, and beginning, though with much unalloyed bittorness, to loarn tho lesaon of patienca and rasignat-'on that awaited mo^J received a letter from him, in which ho merely aaid tbatho pre¬ sumed myown judgment bad taught me, that in my altered circumstances, ouren- gagement must como to an end 1 but to satisfy his own sense of honor (histionSr!) ho wnjte to say that while eiitertaining 'the-Iii^tiestresp^Bcl for me; he Sesired a fortntfjri^niincration.of-.'my^ .T/iiii.. ting'on'ttio'bottomVf this ielter; '"LBt it boja'yan -wiabj? Itotfarned it to'hiii ife [66o4^miitbB»rended my Brierareiiin'oi' I heard era this of Elliot's oowardly conduct on that day ; but now I first be¬ thought me to inquire who had rescued me from thatimminent death. And then I learned that James Frazer, his arm al¬ ready broken by the jerk with wbioh Brown Bess toro away from bira os ha caught at her bridle, had ridden aftar me, and been the first to lift me from the wa- .ter. Many times daily he made inquiries concerning me; hia had been the hand lhat had sent the rare flowers tbat bad docked my room ; bis wero tho lips that breathed worda of oomfort and hope to my -poor moiher; his woro the books that I read during the daya of convalescence; and bis, now, tho arm that supported mo, na alowly i nd painfully I paced the gar den walka. I have been hia wife for many a year. I havo forgotten that ho is not handsomo —or rather he is beautiful to me, because I see his grand and loving spirit ahining through his plain features and animating his awkward figure. I have long since laid aside, as utterly untenable, my theo¬ ry that beautilul spirits dwell only in lovely bodies. It may ba a providential compensation that, in denying physical perfection, tho soul is - not "dwarfed or marred by petty vanity or' love of the word's praise.. LEcTaL K OTlOKb.

THE B3AUn£1JL DECOY.
[From tbo'Cnpublishod Chnmidoof» Tr«T«ller.]
It is well known to all in any degree fa- yailiar with the history ot Mezico.'that a
will be required for entertainment on the way, and «o much for the contingency you speak of, he will then have the exact cost between two points; and if he will look at the whole a» the sum total of his jour¬ ney, he will not aeem to be robbed by any one party more than another."
"That," I replied, "maybe, I believe i«, the Uexicah mode of doing busineas, but Joes not tally with the preconceived ideas of us fsreigaers,"
" But every one," replied the fair spea¬ ker, " should conform to the customs of the country he visits."
"And do ym. then go prepared for this highway robbery ? and have you no fear in journeying by youraelf?"
"Well, Senor, what can I do ? I nm as you perceive au unprotected lady ; wbo, for certain leaaons, am required tomake tho journey between Perote aad the Ca. pital some twice or thrice a year, and yon certainly could not expect mo to go pre¬ pared to resist an armed band! As to fear I will not deny I have my share of that. but BO far, I never have met with any rough treatment, and of course, I trust to the saints that my fortune will be ever aa propitious."
And have you really been robbed on your journey baek and forth 1" I inquired. " I think I have paid my share to the ladronfs for my transit through their coun¬ try !" she laughed.
"And you expect to continue a repeti- of thesame through therest of your life." "Who knoirs?" she replied. "At least I hope I may be always prepared." "Andyour fellow travellers;" said I; " have you never seen any disposed to re¬ sist these unlawful acts ?"
"Once, Senor, an Amerioan and an Englishman who were in the same dili¬ genoia with me, fired upon the robbera, killing one and wounding two.". " And did the robbers fire back ?" "Yes, but fled immediately, and fortu¬ nately injured none of our party."
" As I should have expected," returned I. " You were not robbed on that occa¬ sion, I suppose ?"
" We were not, Senor; but the two for¬ eigners subsequently paid dearly for their resiatance; for in journeying baok and forth, both were killed, separate and at different times, near-the same spot. Iou see those crossej by the aide of tbe road, Senor?"
I bave observed them frequently, but here they seem to be much more numer- ou-'," I replied, looking forth from the vehicle.
Each one stands on the spot where lo^ie one has met a violent death," she rejoined; " and as we go along. I will call your attention to the places where the foreigners met theirs."
" Bo you know,' said I, ' that I am re¬ solved fo emulate their example, let the consequences be what they may ?"
" Holy saints defend us," she exclaim¬ ed ; " you are not in earnest, Senor ?" " Seriously ao, I assure you." " You would only bring certain death upon us botb."
" Say rather, I should lighten the ex¬ penses of the journey—for your knights of the road undeistand retreat as well as advance—and you youraelf have ackowl- edged that firm resistance put them to flight at once."
But there were numbers opposed to them, Senor, and you ara only one."
"But fortunately I have a couple of re¬ volvers, which, in two good hands, amount to some ten or a dozen shots, nnd my*, friends have repeatedly told mo that 1 was not a bad marksman."
" Ah 1 Santa Maria ! you will think better of this, Senor—tho very idea of re¬ sistance terrifies me I"
" But not the idea of robbery ?" " Beoause I have never met wilh vio¬ lence.'
We continued to converse in a similar strain some time longer—my fair com¬ panion gradually changing the subjeot, and seeming much interested in myself. I learned that she was unmarried, that her father and brothers were officera,in the army, and so forth, and so on; and in re¬ turn I gave her my own name, stated something of my history, business and prospeots, and altogether became more communicative than I would advise nny
regular system of highway robliery exists in every seotion of that miserably govern¬ ed country; and that through a want of interference of the authoritiea, this has rown up into such a regular and formi¬ dable shape, that every traveller mual be prepared to put his life at hazard at every stage, or be provided with a suitable con¬ tribution for loi cahelleres del camino (the knights of the road,) who, in the event of finding you prepared and willing, will make their levy with a politeness only equaUed by the smiling landlord, when he receives your overcharged fare for the last night's entertainment. Why such » systematic boldness of robbery is allowed —if not with the connivance, at least with rarely any interference, of the govern¬ ment or state authorities—ii one of those mystical matters which among othen so puzzles and perplexes the intelligent for" eigners, hut that such is tho disagreeable *iruth, every traveller through that wretch¬ ed country can bear ample testimony.
Some years ago, having business which first called me to the Capital of Hexico, and henco through the interior of the country to tbe northward, I met with several thrilling adventures, which I re¬ corded for the benefii of whosoever may take an interest therein, omitting only the dates, they being non-essential to the interest of the narrations themselvea.
The first of the series occurred on the route between Vera Cruz and the city of iUexico. In tbe regular diligenpia run¬ ning between the placea just mentioned,
I had tnken passage, and had pasaed "^""""""'cauve man i wouia advise nny r^" ^^-J" through lhe beautiful city of Jalapa, and friend to be with any stranger of either ^^
entered the eloomv town of Peroti.. witb- aeX in a atrange country. '^
entered the gloomy town of Perote, with out meeting with any unusual incident, though being continually warned to be on my guard againat the dangers of the * road. At Perote, whera wo haltod for a relay and refreshments, all my fellow- passengers took leave of mo, very solemn¬ ly assuring me, that if assailed by the la' drones, or robbers, it would be much better for me to take mattera quietly, and aufier myself to bo generally plundered, than (0 run the risk of having my throat cut for resistanoe, as I bad somewhat boldfy proclaimed it was my inlention of doing. I thanked them for their advice, and re¬ plied that I would take the matter into serious consideration.
At Perote, I repeat, all who had been my companions from Vera Crui took leave of me, this being the end of tbeir journey in that direction, hut there was one new passenger to go forward', whom to roy agreeable surprise, I found to be a beaU; • tiful young lady, some twenty years of age.
Senorila Paula, as I subsequently ascer¬ tained ber name to be, was in indeed one of those rare beauties seldom met with ezcept in works of fiction—tall, graceful, with a profusion of long, black hair—soft, clear, melting dark eyes—a» perfect as over came from the hands ofthe sculptor, and with an animation the moat fascina¬ ting, varying in expression with every obangint, mood of the intellectual poaaea. sor. A glance at her bewitching dart eyes, showed me that she was one who waa naturally of a social disposition ; and as we rattled away from the gloomy town, I took tho liberty of opening a converaa-: tion.
"They tell me," aaid I, "that the roufo between here and Mexioo ia a very dan¬ gerous one to travel."
"There is little.to' fear,", ahe Mplied,
with a aweet smiloJand in s molodioui

bets, and they aeldom liwm anj on«.whg

S'.S^^-^fsb^i^K?
As we oontinued our journey, the con¬ versation gradually changing from one thing to another, Senorita Paula sudden- y brought it back to the point where it first opened.
" We are ooming upon a dangerous part of the road,' ehe aaid; ' are you still reaolved to defend yourself if assailed 1"
" With your permission, Senorita ?"
" I don't think it advisable," she re¬ plied, '* but still if such is your intention, \ thinl; it ;io more than right that you should give me a chance to take a part in my defence! aince my risk of danger will boaagrea.tas yours!"
" And havo you really the nerve, after all, to defend yourself ?"
•' If I had the means, Senor."
"Ihave two pistols," said I; "if you will accept one of them, it is at your ser¬ vice !"
" You are very kind, Senor—^but can I fire it ?"
" ^'th ewe, Senorita;" and producing one of my revolvers, I explained to he^ the manner in which it was to be nsed.
"And this, you say, will shoot some balf a'doien times?"
"Ithinkitsafeto calculate that five ohargea out of six will explode, Senorita."
"A very formidable weapon, indeed 1" Bhe replied; " and with suoh I canalmosl fency TVe are safo. You have another you «ay like this?"
I prodaoad it.
"What a beantiful invention!" she ob¬ served, reaching oyer and taking it from my hand. Then extending ber'hands, onsof theraTolTOr»in each; she contin. tied: '-'Atmod like this, one inight almoit coiiiit himself safe agaiost a-lirat 1 - Yoa iwiy this it £re'din this mauier t'.'ahepro.- iMMiad;;oookiog'on'e6fth'e.winiiom

port. A minuto after, and whilo I was gently chididg her, we hoard a loud, quick tramp of horses, and aeveral sharp, rapid exclamations. The next moment our conveyance was atopped suddenly, and we aaw ourselves aurrounded by some eight oc ten mounted men, one of whom, in a loud voioe, exclaimed.
" Yield yourself prisonera, or die 1"
"Quick, Senorita," said I, extending my hand; " qujpk! in Heaven'a- name! give me one of those weapons, for now is the timo for decisive action 1"
" If ay," she replied, putting the weap¬ ons behind her, " You will be too hasty. Let them suppose we yield—lef them open the door."
" Oh, no 1 it will thon be too late !" , As I spoke, the door was suddenly thrown open, and three or four awarthy, heavily bearded men preaented them¬ selves to my view.
" Quick, Senorita, for the love of God 1" I cried, grasping at her arm.
"Holdl" ahe exclaimed, instantly pre¬ senting one of my revolvera at my head. Eesistance is useless—you are our prison¬ er!"
"GreatGod!" I exclaimed, perfeotly astounded; " our prisoner did you say ?— It is not poasible that one so fair and love¬ ly as yourself, is in any manner connected with these banditti."
" It is even so, Senor, she replied, with one of ber most bewitching smiles, still kejpingone of my own weapons turned against myself, and significantly pointing the other towards the door. " You will oblige U3 by stepping forth and giving yourself into the care of of thoso good gentlemen, who will see that you are Ireated as a brave man should bo, but who will trouble you men.ntime for any little change and valuables yoa might have to apare!"
There seemed to be no help for it—the beautiful Senorita Paula Valerde was a spy and accomplice of tha ladrones. She had entered the dilligenciaat Perote for no olher purpose than to ascertain the exact condition of things inside, and be able to signalize her associates as she passed along, so that they might know exaotly in what manner to conduct them¬ aelves and make their work sure, without risk. By a simple stratagem she had ob¬ tained my arms, just at the point where she knew the attack would bemade; and ber discharge of the pistol as if by acci¬ dent, was tho sign to ehow them that all was secure.
" I acknowledge myself conquered by being outwitted!" said I, bowing fo la Senorita.
Then turning to tha robbers, who had now collected in a body, in front of the door of the diligencia, I continued:
"Gentlemen, will you permit me to alight and raake you aomo v.iiuable pres¬ ents ? In the language of your country, ail I have ia youre."
The leader of the party bowed politely in return, and said, with a grim smile :
"Si, Sanor, we would be most happy to receive anything which so distinguished a traveler may have to bestow."
With tfais I quielly stepped from tho vehicle ; and one quick, se.irching glance put mo in possession of tho wholo atate of affairs. Tbe dilligenoia had been stop ped in a wild, gloomy place, and the dri¬ ver waa setting carelessly on his box, taking everything aa » matter "of course- He might also be an accomplice of ths robbers, or he might not, but in either case there was little hope of assiitance from him—any attempt of lhe kind would cer¬ tainly bring upon him a severe puniah¬ ment, aooner or later. I glanced up and down the read, where it wound -between dark, overshadowing trees, but diacovered nothing to give mo any hope. The rob¬ bera, some eight or ten in number, and all well armed, wero collecting around me, part of them mounted, and the others standing on their feet, holding their mus¬ tangs by the bridle. Looking upon my case ae a desperate one, so far as being plundered was conoerned, I still retnined roy preaenoe of mind, and did not wholly despair. True, I bad beeu outwitted, and disarmed, and now stood singly between numbers; but the idea of yielding to tbis - outrage was repugnant tomy very nature, and I resolvod to put the least favorably opportunity for defence and retaliation to the strongest test.
" Will you accept this purse?" said I, producing one that held several gold coins, and handing itto the chief of the Ictdrones.
" Thank you, Senor,"you are very kind," he said, ns he took it in h'is hand and chinked the monoy.
" This diamond pin may prove accep¬ table toyour friend," I added, as I quiet¬ ly removed it from tho bosom of my shirt and handed it to the gentleman on his left, who reoeived it in the same polite manner. " This diamond ring I trust you will retain as a keepsake," I contin¬ ued, drawing lhe jewel from my finger and presenting it to a third. "I beg your par¬ don, Senorita," I pursued, glancing at the Senorita Paula, who, with my pistols in her possession, was qnii-tly standing with¬ in the diligencia, regarding tho whole ings witb one of {her sweet¬ est smilea. " I must not forget this beau¬ tiful lady ! I hnve here," I went on, at the same producing the article, "an very beautiful gold snufi'box—set, as you per¬ ceive, wilh diamonds—will your ladyship 1 • •¦ -
" A.dai09, Senorita and Senores 1" said I,'bitterly, "ho laughs beat who laughs lasti"
The next moment I was dashing away down the road tbe half rallied robbera pouring after me a volley, but fortunato- not touching their mark. They would doubtless have followed me in bot pursuit, but for the wholesome dread they had of my still undischarged weapon. As it was I eaoaped, andentored tho town of Puebia in triumph ; where it ia almoat needless to add, a narrative of my exploits mado me a hero and lion for tho time. Here I sold my captured mustang and trap¬ pings forienough to idemnify me for what I disposed of in the way of preaents, and the next day saw me an inside paaaenger of the sama diligencia, en route for Mexi¬ oo, where I arrived in safety, without any farther event worthy of note.
What became of the robbers and tbeir beautiful accomplice I never learned; but the lesaon taught me on tbat journey I have never forgotten; and during the re¬ mainder of my stay, in that country, no pretty women ever had tho honor to be my business confidante, or of getting pos¬ session of my trusty and unfailing revol¬ vers.

The Princjas Victoria, when twolve years old, and on a viait to Bjshy Park, was OiUtioned against a dog showas dis¬ posed to careai, na ono wnoae temper was so uncertain as to reader any reliance on it undesirable ; but she atill thought it waa so well disposed to herself as to show it aome kindness. Growler at length prov¬ ed tbat hia cbarac'.er had not been ma¬ lignant by makinga annp at her hand, which was stretched out to him as usual; ber royal highuess's attendant expressed much concern at this, when she replied, "Oh, thank you; you were right and I was wrong; but ho did not bite me, he only warned mo; I ahalt bo more careful for the futuro."

The softer evidently thought such violeat conduct demanded punishment, so taking up the littlo brute it coolly placed it under the wheel of a cirt that was passing, and then walked away.
