SPANISH COuRTSHiP.

A young man had entered the diligence
which was going to Sagova. A place had
been allotted to him in the interior, where,
on starting, he found only one companion,
young lady, strangely travelling alone j;
her figure was all that it should be, but
mantilla covered her face. Consequently
to use the words of q novelist, "a STRANGE
sensation suddenly took possession of him
love entered his soul After some small
civiities, he proceeded to take her hand
which she withdrew, while she gazed at
him with two dark eyes, through the lace
that enveloped her. Again he took her hand;
he kissed it, and feeling perfectly safe from
intrusion, he insisted on her removing her
veil. With tins request, after some resist
ance, she complied and her features fully
answering all his expectations, he might
have assured her of his approval, but as Sa-
gova is approaching, he is compelled to leave
her before doing so, however the youth
presses her to tell where she lives, and, as
she leaves the diligence, she gives him her
address.
An hour has scarcely elapsed when he
hastens to the house, which stands alone !;
evidently but one family occupies it. He
asks for Donna Eugenia, and is ushered in
to room furnished with unusual comfort.
The lady he seeks is sitting alone. She
beckons him with naughty gesture to be
seated. Within doors his impertinence has
quite deserted him, and having humbly OBJ
served her, she thus addressed him.
| 'Senor Cabellero,' she said, this morn
ing woman, and unprotected was forced by
affairs to leave Madrid. Her duenna at the
last moment was taken i'll, her affairs at Sa-
gova could not bear postponmeut; she trust
ed to the gallantry Of Spaniards to protect
her on the road; and how her hopes were
realized you can inform her. But think not
she who could not defend herselffrom insult,
cannot take vengeance, and drawing pis-
tol she presented it to his forehead and con-
tinued:-'make your peace with heaven, for
the earth you see no more
| He does not tremble, though he sees it is
no Jest; his brow quails not, and the emo
ton that causes his voice to CULVER is not
of fear. He looks the lady in the face and
says:
'Wouldst thou kill me because | love thee
so much !"
His eye, hisvoice and his courage achiev-
ed the conquest he had commenced in the
coach, and casting aside the weapon, she
told him she had but tried his love, whic
she was now convinced was equal to his
pluck. 1t appeared that she was the young
wife of Cuban merchant, old, cross, ugly
and cowardly; her married life had been
very short; and, in espousing the young
lieutenant she endowed him with the wealth
she had gained from her. first husband.
The couple are now high in the estima-
ton of Madrid, the husband is q Senator,
the wife, alady of fashion. But whether
the tragic scene has ever again been enact
ed by them, the narrator could not inform
me.

DETERIORATION OF LAND by IMPROVE
MENr OF ANGMALs.-The thought has some
times found audible expression, even from
respectable sources, that some people were
so busily occupied by the improvement of
their stock, as to neglect their land, and al
low its absolute deterioration. We have
had a pretty thorough acquaintance with
breeders, both at home and abroad, and so
far as our present observation is concerned,
have never yet met with the instance in
which the lmprover of the animal was not
also found to be the improyer of the SOIL
We have further knowledge through reli-
able publications, and oral testimony of per-
sons and countries not coming under our
own observation, and we venture the asser-
ton, that an instance in proof of the above,
can scarcely be found within the entire
range of savage and civilized society,"
Where the general farm-Stock has been in
diligently bred and cared for, by the owner
of both land and stock, the SOIL has invaria-
bly, participated with the stock in its i'm
provement. The very presence of the ami
mails on the land implies this, as the crops
are consumed on the premises, and the ma
nure returned to the fields, is more than
compensation for the crops which feed the
animals. Look at the countries most dis
tinguished for the improvement of farm
stock-EnglanG, Scotland and Holland, and
where is so much improvement of soil visi-
bic on any other equal surface of the globe'
We do not bring into this question the par
tial improvement of some particular quad
ruped, or one of its families, as of the Arab
race, the Italian grey hound, nor the Del
malta coach dog, Nor would we admit as
illustrating this question, some sporting ge-
MUS who had given very particular atten-
ton to an improved lot of fighting cocks,
fancy pigeons, fox hounds, or trotting and
racing horses for the very constitution Of
mind which leads to the indulgence of this
partial or morbid taste,is disqualified for the
pursuit of the higher and more comprehen-
sive talent, which is embodied in the noble
improvement Of the varied unitarian quail
ties of farm-stock. We hope the observa-
ton which has led to these remarks may
not be repeated by intelligent writer's, as it
affords an excuse for some very good del
yers, who are wonderfully pains-taking
and successful in raising fine quantity of
forage roots, and grain, to feed to the most
worthless lot of brutes that were ever suf-
fcred to infest Christendom.-.Amsr. .4gri-
