CHAPTER |.
In one Of the apartments Of the palace
oi the Cas,ilian monarch, sumptuousIy
furnished according to the taste of mag
nlGcent though barbarous age, a young
girl, about sixteen yeare old, was reclln-
ing in large cushioned chair surround
ed by several attendants. Her beauty,
though yet undeveloped INTO perfect ma
turity, was of most rare and surprising
order. Her figure was above the ordlna-
ry. yet so exquisitIy moulded that its
symmetry was absolutely iaulless, and
the grace of every movement would have
inspired the coolest critic with admra-
ton. Her rounded arm was bare and half
covered with bracelets. and the white
hand that supported her head glItlered
with jewels. The face united the cha,a.
cterstics Of Northern and Southern beau
ty; It's almost infanlIe deIicacy and fair
ness of complexion we're set off by a pair
Of magnificent black eyes, so brilliant that
their light would have been too intense
but for the heavy fringe of the long black
lashcs that rested on the Transparent,
cheek. Only the small mouth revealed,
in its compression and habitual slight
curl of the rosy lips, the pride ard self
will that distinguished the lady Isabel,
Princess Of CASTLE.
One Of the ladies' in attendance was bust
ed in fastening wreath of flowers, kneel-
ing The while at the feet of the princess;
another held lutte, but her dropping head
and flushed cheeks showed that she had
been chagrined by some petulant express
sion of her mistress. The royal maiden
was indeed accustomed to yield unbound
ed indulgence TO any capricious humor OF
the moment without regard to the feelings
Of her inleriors-not that she was by
nature cruel or ungeDerous, hut from in
fancy she had known no law but her own
will and dreamed no pleasure save the
qualification Of momentary within. The
king, her father, had left her to the charge
of selfineresed goveruesses, satisfied
with seeing his only daughter growing
more beautiful ever, day aud with hear
ing her praises sung by all the poets Of
the court Living in an atmosphere of
hallery. accustomed To see those obou her
devoted altogetherto her services and
making her pleasure their rule of life,
what wonder that the youthful princess
endowed with loneliness unrvaled even in
that cline of beauty-should be naughty,
capric,ous aud imperiouss

surveyed her with an expression of com

ton
The princess uttered a cry and sank
back upon the bench. A laintness came
over her, she gasped for breath, but she
struggled against the weakness and over
came it.
Thou art hooking mel! at length, she
replied. The king could not Stay his on,
Iy child
Alas princess answered the old man,
the king hath borne much-more than
hath beseemed his dignity and his chId's
good. He delivers his daughter to the
axe, because he fears his own life may be
pcried by her violence SHOULD his weak
mercy spare her The safety Of his pco-
pie doth outweigh parental feeling with the
king.
With these words the old man left the
cell, closing the door after him. Isabel
pale and shndderng, scarce able TO com
prehend all the horror Of what she heard,
remained alone. For the first time in her
life, hopeless agony took possession Of
her soul. The idea of deah-ncar and
inevitable dealh-lerribe as il was, grad
ualIy engrossed her appalled, thoughts -
Her brain was bewldered; the dungeon
seemed to expand into desert even more
lrigmiul from its utter loneliness. The
terror, the anguish she endured, pro, ed
loo much for her exhausted powers. She
slipped from the rude seat and sank mp"

How long Isabel lay in the swoon could
not be distinctly asccWained. She was
reused by feeling the touch of "A warm
hand upon her own; some one lifted her
from the ground and held cup Of wine to
/ her lips. A face well known was bend
ING over her; it was that Of youth who had
! formerly been in her service as apage , but
HON she had treated with harshncss Of
ten aud at length dismissed on account of
some cNpricious dlspIeasurc. Though
conscious of her injustice, pride had al
forwards prevented her restoring him
to his place.
Is it thou Castalio; asked the princess
family. And as recollection returned she
felt sudden emotion OF shame at being
succored, in this extremity. by one she
so deeply injured. She waved her hand
in token that he should depart.
Pardon, lady,, replied the youth, If
dare this once to disohey You. Listen tc
me. 1t lacks but an hour Of dawn. At
sunrise, so hath the king decreed, you are
to lay your head upon the block come
to save you from this doom Will you
trust me-"
Isabel clasped her hands. Speak
speak! she murmured.
The page continued in hurried whs-
per: Il have gained of the goaler by

the princess. This awakened a new hope
she wrapped herself in the mantle, and
gave her hand TO her deivercr, who led
her from the dungeon, making a sign to
goaIer as they passed. Without speaking
a word, the page assisted The lady to
mount one Of the horses that stood with
ont, and himself mounted The other. Be-
fore daybreak they were Tar on the road
TO Navarro. Notime was allowed even
for relreshmenl till they had passed the
borders Of CASTLE, Then Castillo helped
the princess, who was nearly exhausted
with fatigue, to diSmount. and offered her
water from n clear spring that gushed I'M

The exchange was soon made, and the

garments coarse enough for the lowIlest
pesanr's daughter Having bound up the
luxurious abundance of her raven hair the
Disguise vas complete, lSahe! rolled to-
gerher the costly robes she had 50 lately
worn and threw them into deep ditch
near 10y, then putting in her pocket a
purse containing a few silver coins, which
had been in the bundle given her by the
page, she went again to the place where
she had left him.
What was her amaZcment--he terror,
when she saw nothing either of Castillo
or the horses! She called his name loudly,
and sought HIM in every direction, In vain,
and the conviction at length came upon
her mind chat she was forsaken by her on

1t was night and Isabel was alone in
her dungeon. The gloomy stono wall
looked still more dismal by the dim light
Of single Iamn hung from the ceiling and
the rude bench on uhch the prisoner
was seated conlrasled strangely with the
luxury aud splendor by which she had
form infancy been surrounded The cold
air crepI through the vault and chilled her
limbs. She had Jeen weeping bitterly,
her head leaned upon her hands, her oug
glossy, black hair, from which the jewels
had been removed, s,reamed wildly over
her shoulders. A coarse cloak Of serge
had been thrown round her person, but il
scarce sulficed to shield her from the
Campness of her new abode.

ADVICE 70 THE LADIES.

Young lades-you Gagged birds OF beau.
tilul plumnge, hu, sickly looks; you pale
pets of the parlor, yegetaling in an un-
healthy shade with greenish white COM
peXion, like that Of a potatoe sprout in
dark sellar-why dent you 90 out into
the open air and yarn sunshine, aud add
Iusture to your eyes, bloom to your cheeks
elasticity TO you steps, aud vigor to your
frames; Take early morning exercise
LET loose your corset strings, and yum up
bill for a wager, and down again for fun.
Roam the fields, climb the fences, leap
the bitches, wade the brooks, and 80
home with an appetite for breakfast like a
horse. Liberty, thus exercised and en-
joyed, will render yon healthy, hearty,
blooming and beautiiul--as lovely as the
Graccs, and as prolific as Dcverra. The
buXom, frightened, rosy-cheeked, full
breasted, bouncing Iass-who can darn a
stocking, mend trowsers, make her own
(rocks, command regiment of pots and
kettles, feed the pigs, chop wood, milk
cows, wrestle with the boys, and never
fall under, and be lady withal in Com
Pany," is just the sort Of girl for me, and
for any worthy young man TO marry: bat
you, ye pining, mopIng boiling, screwed
up, wasp-vaisted, doI.drcessed, putty,
faced, consumptlon-morgOSe aged ,musc,mur-
during, woodworking daughters of
Fashion and idcness-yOu are no more
fit for matrimony, than puIlet is to look
after a family Of fourteen chickens.
The truth is, my dear girls, YOU want,
generally speaking, more liberty, and less
fashionable restraint-more kitchen and
less paror-more leg exercise and less So
ia-morc pudding and less piano-mcre
lrankncss and less mock. modcsty-moro
corned bcef and less corsetS--moro break
fast and less bishop. Loosen yourselves
lutte; enjoy more liberty, and less re-
srranl by fashion; breathe the pure at
mosphere of freedom, and become some
thing nearly as lovely and beautiful as the
God Of nature signed.
