was scene Of wild confusion; dense
throngs arose on every side, it seemed
as if by some spell OF enchantment and
rushed on, imbued with spirit of fury
and flame. The invaders were driven
back, and many were taken prisoners;
fleets of canoes and pirangas, were re>
| taken. And the troubled flood of Ana
huac closed as winding sheet over
the bosom of thousands 5rg -
CHAPTER Nv.
This was the Last triumph OF the
Mexicans, The invaders recommen-
ced the seige, and destroyed every
thing as they advanced. A Ludian
pirangas, or gondola, of some magni-
Jude, and considerable splendor, was
seen swiftly gliding over the water,
of the lake; a brigantine gave chase,
and the Emperor was taken. Where
fore, said Cortez, did you war against
the royal arms of Spain. -
IL have done what became a mon.
arch. have defended my country to
the last extremity; nothing now re.
mains but to die. Take this dagger,
(Iaying his hand on one which Cortez
wore) plant it In my breast, put an end
to life which can no longer be of use?"
exclaimed Gsn,imonzin. .1-..-.- r..t.-
The capture soon terminated the
struggle; conflict succeeded conflict, IN
rapid succession; but at last conquered,
disarmed, broken spirited the people
submitted, A strange stiffness now
pervaded the mass calm brooded
over the ity;mighty changes had TAX
en- place. Guatimozin was prisoner
in his own palace. The city Of Mex
ico, with its huge pyramids, its tower
irg temples, its lofty palaces, had fallen
into the hands of the Spaniards.
Years have passed away. Guatimo-
zin, far remote from his native valley,
ended his life upon gibbet, to swing
in the winds of hea7en, and feed the
vultures of distant and desert land.
Cortez, for his splendid achievements,
was envied. calumniated, deprived of
his authority, and died in misery. No
token fingers now, except on the pages
Of history, to tell of glory gone, and the
sunlight now shines on naught, save on
the dust and ashes that cover with their
dark pail the mouIdering relics of the
once mighty race of Montezuma..
A mighty city has sprung up on the
ruins of the old-a new race has arisen;
towns have been built on the sites of
ancient battles; the dominion of Spain
has been thrown off; a military dinasty
now reigns; armies now bivouac on
The plains of Mexico, the thunders of
battle are again heard; and it seems as
f the nation, not yet exhausted by long
years of internal conflict, have deter.
mined again to ''go down to war;"

FEMALE CUR1osrrY.-A rema rkable
instance of female curiosity is given in
the Paris Semane. A gentleman who
had always lived on the happiest terms
with his spouse, had the misfortune to
become member of an Odd-Fellows
Society. Onleturnlng home after his
initiation, he was assailed by Madame
c., with anxious inquiries as TO the
secrets of the order; but the gentleman
persisted in declaring that 'there was
no secret about it" and con graduated
himself that,at last her imporlunities had
ceased. So deeply had this desire TAX
en- hold OF her mind, however, that
Madame C, who is young and
good looking. actually eloped a few
days since with youth who had prom.
lsed to tell her the coveted secret.
