him at the time, took it into his head to make
a trial of the presence Of mind and courage
Of that officer. With this view he caused
the alarm to be suddenly sounded before the
house occupied by the brave Crillon, and At
the same moment ran himself into his apart
ment, announced to him that the enemy had
made themselves masters of the port of the
town, and proposed to him to effect his re-
treat, in order not to add to the glory of the
conqueror by allowing himself to be made
prisoner. CrilloIi had scarcely time to a.
wake entirely from bis sleep while the Duke
was communicating this alarming intelli-
gence, he however seized his arms, without
betraying the slightest symptom of discour-
agement, and avowed his resolution OF dying
sword in hand, sooner than survive the loss
of the post committed to his charge. Guise
finding it impossible to make him change his
determination, left the room along with him;
but before they had reached the bottom Of
the steps he burst into fit of laughter,
which explainedthe matter to Crillcn, whose
ceuntenance thereupon assumed an air Of
seriousness which the idea of danger could
not produce, and seizing the young duke
roughly by the arm, he said to him with
violent oath, as was his custom, 'young

THE LADIES' FRIEND.
DRESS.

DRESS.
Female habiliments have long been re-
markable for the delicacy of their texture
but it does not appear that economy is con-
suited as it relates to price, for the robe, or
even the veil, of fashionable lady, is more
costly than whole suit of the plain Kind
1t must be universal passion that causes
our lovely women to risk their health and
reputation, by appearing in the public streets
and theatres in a farb similar to that worn
by drmirips or actresses.
The sudden change from such warm hab-
its to their light and transparent drapery, is
no proof that propriety and fashion go hand
in hand. Some advocate for modish variety
may exclaim, "This cynic is equally dis
pleased with thin or warm dress; and sa-
taiises the fashions, rather from desire to
vent his spleen, than to correct improprle-
tv" The female habit, however, ought nei-
thcr to be so light as to give the wearer the
appearance of paper kite, subject to be
carried away by every gust, nor SO warm as
to remind us of the climate of Russia or
LApland.
Simplicity of dress, is, like modesty OF
manners, the handmade of grace. Gorgeous
ornaments distract the imagination of the
observer and the wearer, like the silk
worm, is hid amid her own magnihcence.-
But decent garb, adjusted to the elegant
contour Of the female form, concealing those
| beauties that would obtrusively force them
selves upon our observation, and harmonic
| ing with virtuous mind; this is the dress
that We should recommend to the fair sex
and which, combined with modest de
meanour, is more attractive than the cestu:

THE WILD HORSE.

The following sketch is from the Rev. t..
Flint's new work, "Francis Berrian," and is
descriptive of the innumerable hordes of wild
horseswhich are sometimes met in the prai-
ries near the Rocky Mountains.
"1'he day before we came in view OF the
Rocky Mountains, saw in the greatest per-
fectjon, that impressive, and to me almost
sublime spectacle, an immense drove OF wild
horses for long time lowering round our
nath across the prairie. I had often seen
great numbers of them before. mixed with
other animals, apparently quiet, and grazing
like the rest. Here there we're thousands
unmixed unemployed; their motions. it such
a comparison might be allowed, as darting
and as wild as those of humming birds on
the flowers. The tremendous snorts with
which the front columns of the phalanx made
known their approach to us, seemed 10 oe
their wild and energetic way of expressing
their pity and disdain for the scrvile lot OF
our horses, of which they appeared to De
taking a survey, They were OF all colours
mixed, spotted, and diversified with every
hue from the brightest white to clear and
shining black; and of every form and struct-
ure, from the long g-and slender racer, TO those
of firmcr limbs and heavier mould; and OF all
ages, from the curveting colt to the range
of patriarchal, Steeds, drawn up in line,
and holding thNr high heads for survey OF
us, in the rear. Sometimes they curved
their necks, and made no more progress than
just enough to keep pace with our advance
Then there was a kind of slow and walking
u.fnuet, in which they performed various ev.,
olutions with the precision OF the figures Of
a country dance. Then rapid movement
shifted the front to the rear. But still, in all
their evolutions and movements, like the
fight of sea-fowl, their lines were regular
and free from all confusion. At times spon-
taneous and sudden movement towards us,
ai-uost insn;red ,rs. with the apprehension o1

advance, a snort and a rapid retrogradc
movement, seemed to testify their proud
estimate of their wild independence. The
infinite variety Of their rapid movements
their tamperings and maneuvres were OF
such wild and almost terrific character.
that it required but moderate stretch Of
fancy to suppose that they we're the genii OF
these grassy plains. At one period they were
formed for an immense depth in front OF us.
A wheel, executed almost with the rapidity
OF thought, presented them lowering on our
rear They evidently operated as great
annoyance to the horses and mules of our
cavalcade. The frighted movements, the
increased indications of fatigue, sufficiently
evinced, with their frequent neighings, what
unpleasant neighbours they considered their
wild compatriots to be. So much did our
horses appear to suffer from fatigue and
terror, that we were thinking of some way
in which to drive them off; when on sudden
a patient and latorious donkey Of the estab-
lshment, who appeared to have regarded
all their movements with philosophic indif-
ference. pricked up his long ears, and gave
a loud and most sonorous bray from his vo-
cal shells. Instantly this prodigous multi
.udc, and theYs were thousands of them,
took what the Spanish call the 'stompado.'
With trampling like the noise of thun-
der, or still more like that OF an earth
quake, noise that was absolutely appall-
ing, they took to their heels, and were all
III few moments Invisible in the vcrdant
depths Of the plains, and we saw them nc
more.

The following is translation from an ancient
Spanish Poem, which is surpassed by nothing
with which We are acquainted in the Spanish
language, except the Odes fLewis de Leon.
On! let the soul it's slumbers break,
Arouse its senses and awake,
To see how soon
Life like its glorics glide away,
ana the stern footsteps of decay
Come stealing on.
And while we eye the rolling tide,
oown which our flowing minutes glide
Away so fast;
Let us the present hour employ,
and deem each future dream JOY
Already past.
aetno vain hope deceive the mind
no happier let us hope to find,
Tomorrow than to-day;
uur golden dreams of yore were bright,
Aike them the present shall delight
Like them decay.

Alike the rivers lordly tide,
Alike the humble riv'lcts glide
To that sad wave;
Death levels poverty and pride,
And rich and poor sleep side by side
Within the grave.
Our birth is but starting place,
Life is the running of the race:
And death the goal;
There all those glttering toys are bought,
That path alone ofall unsought,
Is found of all.
Say then how poor and little worth
Are all those glitterng toys of earth,
That lure us herca
Dreams ofs sleep that death must break,
Alas! before it bids awake,
Ye disappear
Long ere the lamp ofdeath can blight,
The cheeks pure glow Of red and white
FIas passed away;
Youth smiled and all was heavenly falri
Age came and laid his finger there,
And where are they
Where is the strength that spurned decay,
The step that tripp'd SO light ald gay,
The hearts blithe toncf
The strength is gone, the step Isl low,
And Joy grows WEAKNESS ard wo
