CRIMINAL COURT OF SARAGOSSA.
(Audience Of 4h Junuary.)
SogCERY AND ASSASSINATION

ORCER y A~sahsSISATToN.
On the fowery borders of the Ebro had
lived for several months, near the city OF
Saragossa, an aged woman named Gala
kena. She had seen, she said, her three
score years, and yet, Notwithstanding the
burroughs Of time upon her yisagc, indica.
tons OF the surprising beauty Of her youth
still caught and fixed the admiring eye.
Calakena inhabited all this time an obscure
cabin, where, like the owl, she lived alone,
and yentured abroad only when her foot
steps were curtainedin night. She carried
continually III hcr hand a large black club
her Costume was u robe striped and pieced
with morsels of various colors. In the
surrounding country, in Saragossa, in Sara
gona, in Iluenca, on the plains Of Navarro
and even to I~tstrarnadura, she passed for a
magicien, for d rcdoubtabIe sorceress, and
the Spanish, who fear equally God and the
Devil, crossed themselves dayoutly at her
approach.
1t must herb be remarked, to make our
narrative the Isnore clear, that it was not
until 1880 that Calakena appeared at
Saragossa. Those who have treasured up
the recoliectich Of what she then was, NC
cord in awarding her the most !~ranscendant
beauty, which, the deep traces Of sadness
and allictioul that Il recent event had left
upon her features, could not deface. She
had come, slsk said, from Madrid, to pass
the remainder Of her life in solitude and
tranquility.
For the political troubles which dyed
Spain in blood, she felt neither fear Or
passion. The chiefs Of either faction
yielded her their protection and she pass
ed securely through the ranks of Catnrera
and of the Christmas, her sex, and the
mystic character in which a credulous peo-
pie had clothed her, rcligiotlsly respected
by the soldiery.
One evening in December last, an equi-
page drew up before the cabin Of Calakena.
| A charming female left it. She vas all
angelic being, an adorable iowerof beauty.
| whose tresses rcsembied the darkest ebony.

to the dlvineress, placing III her hand a
golden ducat, q | am about to wed tell me,

her eyes shot Il quick and joyous hight,

"Docs he love you'll, she inquired.

exalted station that VIC, aud thousands Of
others, have been lcd TO feel an interest in

the individual. It IL not for the mere &C.

s%tutiou, then, my friends, is not that
which is most worthy ofour aspiration. BE
our station high or low, it is by our indi.
yldual characters that we should be judged,
in the sight Of our fellow men, and Of our
God. Would that ibis great truth were
more generally feIt~-that mon more com
monty realized that the degree in which an
individual is honored and beloved in society
depends far less Oh what office he fills,
than on what he ia and that where real
dignity exist, it ia given l,y the man to the
office, not by the office TO the man. Such
is the case everywhere, TO n greater ex.
tent than 10 imagined. Such in p1r own
country, Notwithstanding all the distinc-
tons of society that exist, is peculiarly the
case. Let those, then, whose i~tnaginations
are kindled, and whose ambition excited
by the honors which have been rendered,
parted, remember that all which is most
valuable in those honors il the result, not of
exalted station, but Of individual worth;
and that even that exalted station itself,
through which the personal worth Of its oc-
cupant became more generally known,
was bat the result Of that worth--the gift
Of a grateful people TO one whom they be-
lieved honest and faithful, ever more than
great. And let them remember too, that
while all earthly honors fade, all earthly
greatness, even intellectual, soerfrs CON-
paratively worthless, the treasures of yir-
tue aud of faith survive the tomb, in the
remembrance Of fearful friends, and in the
judgment Of that Being in whose awful
sight human distinctions are as nothing.
