The pensiYe twilight hour is near,
When watching stars above
Shall CLEAN in radiance bright and clear;
But where doth the absent rovel
Not on the plain-not on the wave,
In a widely distant cline,
Nor in the cold and silent grave,
Yet weary is the time.
Yon gentle star that lights the stream
Around this frowning steep,
Shall on the troubled waters CLEAN,
When storms are loud and deep.
'Tis thus that hope still sheds its ray,
To light our darkened destiny,
And cheer our lone and dreary way
Through fe's tempestuous troubled sea.
Ere its thrilling cadence bad died
away in echo, the last step of Don AL
varez was heard as he rushed up the
marble staircase, and disappeared a.
mong the ruins; where, after travers
ing innumerabIe apartments, he at
length entered what once had been a
splendid saloon. There, reclining at
an open window, appeared female
figure, bat absorbed in SO profound a
reverie, as to be entirely unconscious
ofhis approach, till a sudden rustling
whether from accident or design caught
her attention; she uttered a piercing
shrek and would have fallen, had not
his extended arm received her; and
kneeliug by her side, he pronounced
the name of his adored Lady Islena
de Where's A mutual enclaircisse
mcnt succeeded, and the Lady Donna
Islena thus continued-"Litlie did I
forbode Signor Don Alvarez de Pi
etro, the evening we last met in the
delightful shades OF Catalonia, that it
was to be succeeded by so long and
painful separation. 1t is needless to
name the many arts which were EN-.
ploy ed to shake my faith in your int
gritty, and which can only be equalled
by their ireachery and cruelty to an
helpless orphan. But the night prece.
ding the arrival OF the naughty and
fierce Don Xavier, | bribed the Du
emma, who became the companion Of
my flight; since then we have remain
ed secreted within these ruins-And
now, these long months Of agonizing
suspense and painful uncertainty, shall
be forgotten in fervent gratitude TO that
All wise and 0mnipotent Disposer OF
events, who hath SO niraculously con
Quoted you hither."
Years swept by and beheld Don
Alvarez and Donna Islena blest in
a vi7tuous and reciprocal affection, en-
deared BY the tenderest ties of a holy
union. Net even amid the glare of
spIendor and the sunshine of happi.
ness, frequenily would their thoughts
instlnctively revert to the Wondering

Female Dress The following lit
tie conversation on the all Important
subject OF female dress, from the new
novel of Filtration, should be listened
to with attention by our ias hionabie fair
ones ~" Realty cried Lady Glass
ington, 1t 's vastly handsome dress,
a magnificent dress--there now don't
stOop; hold mp your head whatever
you do, a lady never looks so well as
when she maintains an upright posi-.
ton of the head; remember first TO
turn your chin over one shoulder, then
over the other, drawing yourself well
up at the same time, and stepping
back q pace or two thus: while at the
same time, you play off your fan thus;
and Lady Glassington showed her re
ceipt for practising the graces. Vastly
well, my Lady Glassington, vastly
well, nobody had finer carriage than
you. Emily, you cannot do better
than take leaf out of her ladyship's
book on the graces' Il think said
Lord Baliamont, that ladies disfgure
themselves very much by all their mi
linery contrivances; and If they would
only adopt some sort of dress more
analogous TO the human form, and
keep to that, they would look much
handsomer The less of continuance,
and quirGs, and puifings, and plaitings,
and gimpIngs, and little ms and outs,
the better. Something large, flowing,
OF fine material if you will, only none
of your contrivances. Look less at
mlliners' shops, and more al pictures;
but nothing can ever look well, so
long Us women paint their faces
n Belle IN the Year 1350.-Her
head was encircled with turban; or
covered with species of mitre of enor
nous height, from the ssmmit of which
ribbons hoated in the air, like the
streamers from the head of a mast
Her tunic was half of one colour and
half of another; a zone deeply EN-
broidered and richly ornamenled with
gold, confined her waist, and from it
suspended in fronttwo daggers in their
respective pouches. Thus alfred she
rode in the company of her knight to
jousts and tournaments.
