FAYETTEVILLE, TENN: THURSDAY, OCTOBER j. 1854.

tain of the Guard was summoned and
dispatched with some written order,
and in few subsequent moments
Coun. Almonte, completely subdued
and broken-spirited, was ordered to
return to his plantation. Pedro and
Miralda we're directed to remain in
an adjoining apart lnent to that which
had been the scene Of this singular
procedure. Count Almonte mounted
his horse, and with a single attend
ant soon passed out of the city
gates. But hardly had he passed
the corner Of the Paseo, when dez-
en- muskets fired a volley upon him,
and be fell a corpse upon the road.
His body was quietly removed, and
the Captain Of the Guard, who had
witnessed the act, made minute
upon his order as to the time and
place, and, mounting his horse, rode
to the Governors palace; entering
the presence chamber just as Pedro
and Nliralda were once more sum-
moned before the Governor. |
Excellencia, said the officer, re-
turning the order: 1T is executed
is the Count dead?'
'Excelleneia, yes
proclaim in the usual manner,
the marriage of Count Almonte and
Miralea Estal ez, and also that she is
his legal widow, possessed Of his Ii
ties and estates. See that a proper
officer attends her to the Counts es-
tate, and enforce. this decision. -
Then, turning to Pedro Mantanez he
said:
No man or woman in thisisland
is SO humble but they may claim
justice of Tacon!'
The story furnishes its own moral.

South American Cattle Calehine.

A description Of the mode Of catch
ing the beeves, may not be uninte-
resting to our readers. The hume
rous herds of black cattle which run
wild in the interior are SO complete
ly in state Of nature, and SO savage
in disposition, that it is dangerous TO
approach them unarmed. The South
American employed to catch them is
Iattended by companion, each mount.
ed on horseback, with a coil of ropes
lheld in the right hand, having run
ming moose ut one end, and the other
either made fast to ring uuder the
horn of the saddle, or fastened close
to the dock Of the horses tail
Thus prepared, the pursuer rides W
to the herd of cattle, and having sin.
gled out the animal he intendsto take,
he in a most ready and dextrous man
ner, throws the moose of the rope
over its head, and then turns his
horse in the direction he wishes to
Igo. The superior strength of the
horse forces the bullock after him, yet
if the man finds him vicious, and too
untraotable to follow, SO slightly
trammeled, be rides up to the near
est tree, and taking a circle round
the tree once or twice, draws the un-
willing and savage beast close up to
it. His assistant then comes up, and
whilst the other, by turn or two
more, compels the head of the bullock
to the foot of the tree, the second
tbrusts a piece Of hard wood through
the cartilese of the nose, to the ends
of which he affixes smaller piece Of
rope, and making knot where it
forms a triangle, by holding the ends
together, ties the remaining coil to
the coil above the head; then, undo
ing the coil from the trunk Of the
tree, he proceeds with his horse the
road he wishes to go. The beast is
easily dragged along, smarting with
pain, and nearly in state Of mad
ness; and should it, which is very Of
ten the case, run at the horse, the RI
der makes sudden turn, and with
the jerk throws it on IT'S side. 1t
afterwards follows, roaring with pain,
and furiously attacking either man or
log passing by within the limits Of
he rope.

Veman's Heart.

They deem m me only CO ID aud proud
AS l before them mo We,
OF all who grace this m otley crowd,
Few dream that I can love:
They little kn ow in woE mans heart
How love can lie concealed,
Or that by outward signs alone
IT'S often unrevealed.
Yes, oft beneath the marble brow,
And features cold andIcalm,
That never yetin fear did bow,
A heart beats true and warm.
For woman's love is warm and pure,
Though not by words revealed;
And while life lastsit may endure,
And be from all concealed.
For love is cen a sacred thing
i Within fond womans breast,
And if returned will ever bring
Sweet hours of peacef ul rest:
But sighted, oft the ten der flower
Doth fade, and droop and die;
And in one short and tleeting hour,
A withered fow'ret lie.

Thou art Gone from lie, Love.
BY LAURA LoRRIME4.

The night winds low lute-tones
Are whispering along,
O'er summers bright flower-buds
A passionate song.
1t bends It's cool lips
On each beautiful gloom,
Till its breathings are rich
With weight of perfume;
But my heart keeps vigil
Crushed pledges above,
And it moans as it watches:
"Thou'rt gone from me, love!"
Those visions Of glory
Which clasped me have flown,
My hearts holiest affairs
Are freIess and lone;
The eyes which flashea a worship,
Wild worship in mine,
Have veiled their proud beauty,
And turned from my shrine;
My soul drops its wing,
Like stricken dove,
All matchless and lonely:
"Thou'rt gone from me, love."
The starlight still CLEANS
On the quivering leaves,
The wind-spirit still
A low melody weav e.;
The flowers, to It's kisses,
Still breathe their perfume.
As when with clasped hands,
We bent over their bloom;
? The star-fres still burn
In the temples above,
But they light not my soul:
"Thou'rt gone from me, love"

Once Caught, Twice sly.

"NIany years ago." says Mr.. A

in a trap, and instead of consigning
it to the usual watery grave, or the
unmerciful claws Of the cat, | deter
mined to keep it a prisoner. After
n short time, the little mouse made
his escape in a room attached to my
fathers residence in the Bank Of
England ]. did not desire the pres
ence of wild mouse in that room,
and therefore adopted means to se-
cure him. The room vas paved with
stone, and enclosed with solid walls
There was no hope for him that he
would ultimately escape, although
there we're abundant opportunities
for hiding. ! set the trap, and bait
ed it with sayory morsel, but day
after day no mouse entered. The
poor little thing gave unequivocal
signs of extreme hunger by gnawing
the bladder from one Of my chemical
bottles. | gradually removed every
thing from the room that he could
possibly eat, but still the old,pyoyerb
of, "Once caught, twice shy so FIR
applied, that be would not enter the
trap. After m any days, visiting the
apartment one morning, the trap was
down, the mouse was caught; theI
pangs of hunger were more intolera-5

lie did not, however, choose the un-
pleasant alternative Of entering the
