SrAlx.-On the 18th April, at noon,
member Of the permanent commits
sion of Madrid, accompanied by a
strong detachment Of infantry, pre-
sented himself at the school Of medi-
cine, college of ST. Charles, and de-
manded of the professors that they
should present all the students from
Biscay and Navarro, sixteen in num-
Der. The officer put them undera es-
cort, which conducted them to the pri-
sons OF the city, although the cause OF
the measure has not yet been ascertain

At Brihuega, in the province OF Qua
dalaxara, a solemn ceremony was per-
forming in the Church, at which the
Corrigedor and municipality assisted.
In the midst of the service the royal
volunteers, who were also present, be-
gan to cry out that the negros should
be expelled from the church. Tine SER
vice was suspended; the Corrigedor
represented, but in vain, the sanctity
Of the place, and the respect which was
due to it: the volunteers continued the
cry-"Away with the negros!!" The
Corregidor, finding his authority des-
pissed, began to cryin his turn-"Help,
in the Kings name!!" Several OF the
volunteers then ranged themselves on
the side of the authorities, but the most
riotous persisted; force then became
the arbiter of the quarrel; volleys OF
arms succeeded, the tocsin was sound
ed, and all rushed forward to the doors
to escape from the Church. Some
were killed, and some wounded; the
contest continued until the champions
having got into the street, and the au-
thorities found themselves better sup
ported, the combatants were Obliged
to take to the country. Thirty-sM
have been taken, sixteen ofwhom were
conducted to the prisons of Madrid;
and there is much curiosity to know
whatspunishment the government will
mflict on the royal volunteers for this
skirmish.

fancy ourselves licensed to live long if old, we feel

HUMAN LIFE.

'sLife's little stage, (says Young) is small emf
nence-but inch high above the grave, that fina!
home of man where dwels the untold multitude
We look around-we read their monuments-we
sigh-and, as sigh, we sink, and are what we de-
plored !-amenting, or lamented, all our lot"
These sacred truths, though summary expressed,
are replete with interesting admontons
We are apt to think this life of ours immortal, and
to bestow no attention to the limits, desn-
ed, sooner or later, to confne it thus thinking,
we live and act, on many occasions, repugnant to
that virtue and justice, which we should admire,
venerate, and practise, nor call to mind the uncer-
tanty of our prospects and duration here, and the
certainty of an hereafter in which are to be re-
warded, OF punished, according to the good or bad
deeds done in this life.
A graveyard ssboth instructive to the mind and
wholesome to the soul. While it ridicues the idea
of any other superiority in human nature, than that
of worth and virtue, it demonstrates, that death
hurls his darts alike at all and that in the grave,
all share one common fate, to moulder and decay !;
and as we pass from stone to stone, from tomb
to tomb and either reflect upon the Inscriptions
upon the actions which distinguish the persons
they mark, voice seems continually ascending to
our ears, saying, ''Live rghteousy, that you may
die good and live again to immortality of happiness
and glory! -

THE GRAVEYARD.

II had long been absent from my native place, and
the desolatng arrows Of death had sped many rela
tive, many friend, and many an acquaintance, from
the stage of mortality. The broad and ample bu-
ryng ground had many an added mound, and the
grass grew green alike over the old and the young.

times that were past | knew not where the bodies
reposed of those who had gone away from the busy

sized graves. called to mind the countenances

full of change was this earthly dream. 1t was not
the aged generally who had departed few of
these had dropped like wthered leaves, it was true
but the gay green boughs had fallen; the young,
the bright, the beautifulthe storm seemed to have
been most destructive where its ravages were least
expected.
The congregation had gathered, and entered,
stranger unknown, into the sacred edifice which
my father had assisted in erecting, and in which my
early Sabbaths had been spent. The preachers
subject was the uncertainty of life. The young man,
he said, looked upon the gray haired sires OF the
age, and thought death was afar off, but it was
delusive fancy; dream baseless the visions Of
night, which fit across the sleepless mind Death,
he said, is equally you all. He made the sup
position that all that gathered assembly should die
then, and be entombed in one burial pace-and
asked what kind of grave yard they would make :
Just such one as that you without these wallis
Just such is seen every where But sup
posing you should all live to be aged he continued,
and then die and be buried together-What kind
of grave yard would then be seem Such one
as would have no similitude with any in the wide
world 1t was powerful illustration of the subject

THE TOXLET.
PRINCIPLES OF FEMALE COSTUME.

PRINCIPLES OF FEMALE COSTUME.
I. The first principle of costume is that of loose
drapery, which adjusts itself partly by hanging and
partly by wrapping around the figure, and is pre-
ferable to the tighter dress, which is chiefly adjust
ed by its make and form.
There are two of this superiority =
1st A loose drapery is always cooler in summer,
warmer in winter, and at both seasons less adapted
to transmit sudden changes of temperature than
tight dress-Ths reason regards utility.
2dly. A loose drapery may always be disposed
either beautifully grandy tight dress is always
ugly, and generally ridiculous.-Ths reason
CARDS oppression.
II. Another principle of costume is, that as all
objects, when enlarged above and diminished infe-
riorly, have, like the inverted pyramid, an air of
lightness, aid that of heaviness when oppositely
constructed-so the human figure, when enlarged
above and diminished inferiorly by the mode of cos
tune has the appearance of lightness; and that of
heaviness when differently dressed.
Hence, as already observed, the small head-dress
and enormous train characterize the more stately
dame, while the large hat or bonnet, and shorter
dress, distinguish the livelier girl.
In entering upon critical examination of female
costume and especially of that of the present day,
it ought to be observed that it acquired its general
character soon after the beginning OF the French
Revolution, when the imitation OF the Greclan me-
dels assumed great popularity 1t was then that the
former stiff and awkward dress was laid aside for
one of superior ease and gracefulness, and more
consonant to nature. In its general characteristics
that dress has continued till the present time and
the chief point in which it has, at any period, varied,
has been the elevation or depression of the waist.
1t has occasionally been high, low, intermediate
placed and it is evident that the intermediate
place is alone either natural or becoming.

WOMAN'S LOVE.

Oh say not woman's love is light,
Or that the smile,
Which plays upon her lips 50 bright,
Is talsehood's vile
No woman'5 love will meier decay,
Though all tllat pleased be passed away .
Then say not that her smile, though gay.
viii e'er beguile.
Oh think not woman's heart is cold,
Nor weeps her eye
Or that the bosom YOU behold
Meier breathes sigh
No Woman'S heart is warm and true,
Though meek and mild as morning dew
Then, think not that her love for YOU
Too soon will die

"The following highly interesting and ro-
mantle story is from French work entitled
Historical Sketch of the principal Poll
tical and Military events produced by the re-
voluton III Spain; by M. Louis Julian -
published At Paris in 1921.
The Spanish Captain Van Halen, native
Of Cadiz, and particularly known for his zeal
in propagating secret associations, had be-
gun in 1917 to disseminate their liberal prin-
ciples among the inhabitants Of the city OF
Murcia, where he was in garrison. His dc
votion to this subject could not long remain
unpunshcd: he was soon denounced and con
Quoted to prison. His papers which had
been seized, proved that he had been in cor
rcspondeuce with all the secret societies III
the Kingdom. Being thus convicted OF two
crimes at once, the local authorities consid-
cred the matter too important to be submit
| ted to their decision and Nanhalcn was trans
ported under numerous escort, to the pri-
sons of Madrid, aud committed to one ot the
most obscure dungeons in the lnqnlsltlon'
! preparations were made for his trial, but as
| he had declared, from the first moment OF
his arrest, that he would give no answer to
the charges against him, unless in presence
| Of the King, and this resolution having been
several times reported to the King, Nanhaien
/ was at lSnSll Nv bSi''N hi"'
Not at all affected by the torturos he had
undergone in his captivity, nor by the almost
certain prospect OF Il speedy and cruel death,
! instead of imploring the favour OF Ferdinand,
he devoted the brief interview to presenting
him with picture of the ruinous situation to
which he had been reduced by his ministry.
He declared to him that all Spain was III fact
filled with secret societies; that prosecutions,
imprisonmcnts, and scaHolds were vanly
employed for their destruction; that no hu-
man power could succeed in attempting to
defeat their object; that the persons OF whom
the societies were composed had never pro
nosed anv project against the life OF the king,
nor even against his rank or dignity; that i'll
nlacing him on a throne supported by the
laws. aud by the love and confidence OF the
ucople, lis power would have been raised
to the highest degree OF sta5ility-ih short

ofhis own free choic adopt the spirit oE those
very societies, and place himself at then

the court Of Rome, the reyocatlo' OF the cen
sures she had pronounced against them: a,
hove all that he should reject the narrow ana
sanruinarv interest of his councillors: ana

have at his disposal an invinclble army
which he might indeed despair TO reduce
to serv;tude. but which, while 1t renamed

more faithful.

SERIOUS RErLEGTIC2rG.

The most true and genuine happiness of
the human soul, is formed in the eniearing
conf lcuce of an attachment, which consists
in the mutual sincerity ofboth hearts. Here
communication plcases and improvcs-here
attention and respect CRAFTY, while they
warm the beating heart, that watches the
approach; the kind reception-the soIici-
tudc for success-thc tcar of doubt--thc ex-
pectant ardour ripening into love, are mo-
mentary symptoms, which mark tac objects
of such passion, and awaken in the heart
the highest admiration for the bliss OF hcav-
en--in this commerce of society, a glorious
partialty dignfics the choice, and harmony
seems to involve two hearts in one-the
hopes, the cares, the sentiments, and pur-
suits are mutual, they are mutually adopted,
participated, and soothed; this union OF
hearts inspires superior consciousness, that
breaks down the image of scnsua!ity--puts
forth the delights of observation-disclosures
the glow of honour, and initiates the heart III
the first duties of social life.
However some may laugh at sentiments,
there is il value in the coin, which raises 1t
above the price ofscnsuality, and gives it a
superiority above the sprightly charms OF
lunteeing gaety, or even the more solid ac-
complishmcnts of a cultivated understand
| ing, and therefore, through perhaps not so
strong and rigid, as firm and positively vir
tuous rcsoution--vct there is a captivating
purity, in its silver orc, that will ALWAYS pre-
serve It's sterling worth in every thinking
mind.

PARTED LOVE,

"TRou rert 200 Ehe n dram IF HForen.
for earthiy hre 10 aurH Mce."-i'YRoy.
We parted-and we knew It was .f6rerer--
We knew it, yet VIC paltcd-then each thought
And inmost feeling of our souls, which never
Had else been brcathed in words, rushed
forth and sought
Their sweet home in each others hearts, and there
They lived and grew mid sadness and despair.
1t was not with the bonds Of common love
Our hearts were knit together; they had been
Silent companions in those grieis which move
And purify the soul, and we had seen
Each others truth and strength Of mini, AMI
hence
We loved with Passions hottest cofidcnce.
And Virtue was the great bond that united
Our guilelcss hopes in love-. simplicity;
And in those higher aims we mcckly sighted
The shallow feelings and weak vanity
Which the porM calls Affection, for our eyes
Had not been caught with smiles-our hearts
with sighs.
We parted, Gas our hearts had livcd) in duty
To Heaven and virtue; and we both resigned
Our cherished trist--I, all her worth and beauty,
And she the untold devotion of my mind:
We parted in mute anguish, but we bent
I.owly to him whose love is chastisement.
It was, pcrchance, her spirit hal been goaded
With snffcrings past its bcaring-that her frail
But patient heart had been so deeply loaded
With sorrow, that its chords were forced to
fail
Severed by more than distance, ! was told
Her heart amid its suiferngs had grown cold.
She rests in Heaven,- and IL could not follow;
NV soul was crushed, not broken, and live
To think ofall her love, and feel how hollow
Are the sick gladnesses the world cap give:
live, in faith and holy calm, TO prove
Ny heart was not unworthy of such love.
