SELECTIONS.
BRENTA.

Our watery journey down the Brenta, was in
deed delightful. Friendship, music, poetry,
combined their charms with those of nature to
enchant US, and make one think the passage was
too short. The scent of odoriferous plants, the
smoothness of the water, the sweetness Of the
piano forte, which alIured to its banks many Of
the gay inhabitants, who, glad of change in
the variety of their amusements, came down to
the shores, and danced or sung as we went by,
seized every sense at once, and filled me with
unaffected pleasure longed to see the weep
ing willow planted along this elegant stream;
but the Venitans like to see nothing weep. Nil

A REAL HEROINE.

An interesting and remarkable anecdote is
related in history of the Queen of Halicarnas-
sus. This woman had accompanied Xerxes as
an ally in the expedition against Greece, and be-
ing pursued in this battle by an Athenan galley,
met "a Persian vessel commanded by tributa-
ry prince of Calydna, in Lydia, with whom she
was at variance She darted the beak of her
galley against the Lycian vessel, with great
dexterity, and buried it in the waves. The
Athenan galley, deceived by this measure,
equally artful and audacous, believed the yes,
sci of the queen of Halicarnassus to be one of
those that had deserted the Persian interest,
