uttered these words, and their pointed import,

THE TRAVELLERS-A TALE.
[By the author of Redzvood.

The idea on which the story is built very happi-
ly conceived, easily uniting the interest of ficti
tious narrative with the description of real places
and the memory of actual events. A family is
presented as making "the grand tour, the lakes,
Montreal Quebec, &C." This affords an opportu-
nifty for describing places and local habits, which
has been just sufficiently used. Some beautiful
though short descriptions of natural scenery occur,
and few romantic events; and a great many mo-
raj reflections drop from the mouth of the mother
in the instruction of her children.
"a commandant of the fort (Which was built by
the French to protect their traders against the sava
ges,) married young Iroquos who was before or
after the marriage converted to the Catholic faith
She was the daughter Of cheftain OF her tribe,
and great efforts were made by her people to in
duce her to return to them Her brother lurked ia
the neghborhood, and procured interviews with
her, and attempted to win her back by all the mo-

in vain The young Garanga, or, to call her by her,

Marianne, Historical Nopel Of Palestine

Marianne, a Historical NoreI Of PALESTINE.
The following extract is from work entitled
Marianne Historical Novel of PALESTINE Ma
rismne, the heroine of the tale, is that Marianne,
the last princess of the Asmonean line, the details
of whose life and unhappy fate form so interesting
page in the work of the famous Jewish historian,
JosEPHUs.
Towards the evening of the ensuing day, quick
succession of messengers brought intelligence of
the approach Of Herod and the Egyptian queen.
numerous body of Idumean cavalry, varousy
parisoned, preceded and cleared the road some
were dressed in polished mail, and adorned with
rous work; others in the skins of wild animals
namented with silver or shining metals and some
in the lighter garb and flowing dresses of the east
After these came the royal guard on foot, composed
of hastat and vetes, then the officers of state on
Arabian horses, after them, mounted on Macrobian
steeds of etty black, with flowing names and tales,
rode the Ethiopian attendants of the queen, dressed
in white, carrying wands of ebony, and each wearing
a heroglyphic on his head-dress, to which mystic
meaning was attached. At some distance followed
the Egyptian queen borne by fifty athletic men in
car of sculptured ivory, surrounded by curtains OF
Tyrian silk At regular intervals, attendant slaves
waved fans saturated with cool refreshing odours,
and distant soft recorders regulated the march
Herod rode near her he wore breastplate of gold
and helmet of the same metal studded with jew
els and surmounted by crest of exquisite device
and workmanship; his purple robe waved on the
breeze over the back of his impatient milk white
steed. Behind them came numerous retlnue OF
Egyptian and Syrian horse the former dressed in
white linen silver breastplates caps, low behind,
interviewer with silver bars and each carrying q
long white spear; the latter were more meanly
dressed, and wore quivers on their shoulders, and
scymtars by their sides they looked swarthy
sullen race, and deemed themselves but little more
than captives of the Egyptians, who had usurped

mixed multitude on various animals.
'They entered the city through the golden gate,
and wound their way to the left towards the palace.
The houses were covered with people gazing on
the procession, but to Herod's great chagrin, no
accamations welcomed his return, and the clarions
of his guard were re-echoed as from deserted re-
gon.
Cleopatra was observed to breathe quicker, and
cast suspicious glances on the king.
'On arriving at the palace, she alighted and con-
Quoted by Herod, passed through spacious halls,
lined with soldiers, attendants and officers of state
Herod expected that Marianne would have met
them beneath the eastern portico but she not
until they reached the hall of state, warned of the
kings arrival. The hall vast, built Of Parian
marble; the lofty roof was frctted with gold, and
supported by pillars of porphyry the pavement
of tesselated marble, mingled with onyx; the
doors were of sculptured ivory At the end of this
spacious hall suspended from the roof curtain
of purple velvet bordered with gold before, raised
above the pavement, were three ivory thrones on a
carpet of silk and gold.
As Herod leading Cleopatra through the
throng of PROSTATE nobes captains, and attendants,
the curtains were opened, and Marianne, followed
by her train, advanced towards them.
sShe was arrayed in vest and robe OF the purest
white, with sandals of silk, bound with silver thong;
on her brow shone frontet jewel, surmounted by
diadem glitterng with diamonds. AS she ad-
vanced the graceful dignity of her mien evidently
attracted the notice of her royal guest. Her face
was deadly pale, her eyes too truly told the calm
and settled sorrow of her soul while the composed
majesty Of her look commanded even the respect
of the shameless Egyptian queen. Herod was sur
prised, and felt overawed though love thrilling
through his veins, he gazed on bis queen advanc-
ing in all the might of loneliness and injured virtue
