Tho messengers retuined to bear

The messengers retui ned, to bear
His wishes to their Princess fair;
She heard the brief request-and soon
She babe that at the hour of noon,
Her barge of state should ready be,
And she this stranger chief would see.
Twas noon-slow swept the barque from shore
Twelve rowers grasped the painted oar,
And, flashing at each sturdy stroke,
The limpid waves in spray-beads broke;
Close, pressing on. the swelling tide
Kissed the gay galley's cleaning side;
Before her prov the eddies curled,
And in her wake the foam-globes whirled
As bearing on, in splendid drest,
Like sun-cloud sailing up the west,
So soft, SO still, the fairy boat
Through seas of lustre seemed to float;
And strangely beautiful was she
Beneath it's crimson canopy,
with broidery quaint, impearled and linedD,
On purple cushions half reclined;
In stately grace and regal mien
She might have rivaled Egypt's Queen;
On either side three maidens stand,
Their task to WOO the breezes bland
Huge fans of painted plumes they swing,
And oft in gleesOme chorus sing.
Wheneor it lists their Princess take
Her evening sail on stream or lake;
But now each mellow voice was hushed,
Each cheek with expectation flushed
Yet stay-the barque has touched the strand
The lovely Queen prepares to land,

Him listed ionrnev ON his MAN.

Him listed journey on his way.
Her brow was calm. her eye was kind,
Fit index to her noble mind;
Her voice was musical and soft,
Such tones we hear at twilight oft,
When through the deep magnolia groves,
The spirit of the south wind roves.
Lopez, courtly cavalier,
Thus whispered in his comrades ear:
Didst ever dream, Gonsalvo, here
To find such face, such form, such mlen,
All we can image of queen9
Such regal air might well comport
With graces learned at Icons court.
By'r Lady! at her shrine I'd kneel.
Treason though twere to our CASTLE !"
VIII.
The Princess lightly now unbound
A chain of pearls, which thrice around
Her graceful throat and bosom wound;
She wished, it seemed, the token bright,
To tender to the noble knight;
A symbol of her friendships plight
And yet that modest bashfulness
Which yelled her beauty's rich excess
Soft, delicate as clouds that lie
AthWart the summers noon-tide sky,
Checked on her lip the words she fain
Had spoke herself She blushed again,
Then, while her large and liquid eye
Dropped its long fringe, reserved and shy,
To Ortiz quick she turned, to pray
dlm give ner gilt, ana say n6r say
But Juan Ortiz, CALAMITY,
Declined, and on his Bonded knee
Declared the Governor would deem
The present valueless from him.
Twas truth, he swore, its worth were none
Bestowed by hand save hers alone
The maiden mused-anon a smile
Ger her fair features stole the while,
And wheresoeer its lustre broke,
New beauties one by one awoke;
q SUh6npd
And full of maiden modesty,
She rose, advanced, and laid the band
OF jewels in De Soto's hand,
And would have TUNED away-but he
A moment stayed her courtecusly.
Drawing jewel richly chased
From off his band, he gently placed
The circlet on her own-and sighed:
90 Faith, truth and honor a0ith thee bide."

By this the evening, sweetly Glow,
Came stealing on-the sun was low;
Bright clouds along the west had rolled
Their FURNISHED splendors, fold on fold;
The valleys darker grew, the heights
Now Caught, now lost the changing lights;
The river murmured on its way,
The red bird hushed his cheerful lay
Then haste! while yet the day-fres burn
The lovely Princess must return.
AS the white sea-mew bows to lave
Swift DER the waters darkening blue
The snowy-sided shallop flew,
The intervening space shot DER
And struck the margin with her prore.
Shades of the past the minstrel fain,
Would tell why in this charme domain
The chieftain and his followers staid,
Enchanted by this noble maid;
Delighted all to find such grace,
So kind heart, so fair face,
In such Lonely dwelling place.
1t may not be they parted all
From Cofachiqui's royal hall,
Not, sooth to say, as lover parts,
Yet, leaving with a thousand signs,
The load-star of thousand hearts!
The cynosure of thousand eyes!
In after years the maiden queen,
Still reigned beloved, with brow serene,
And tho brave suitors sought her side,
No dark-brown warrior called her bride.
At times, twas said, shade was drawn
(Like dewy clouds, about the dawn
Across her beauty's light-ah we'll
The so7ty the minstrel may not tell!

The Power of Dickens, Pathos,

Mrs. Henry Siddons, a neighbor and
intimate friend of the late Lord Jeffrey,
who had free license to enter his house
at all hours unannounced, and come
and go when she listed, opened his
library door one day very gently to look
if he was there, and saw enough at a
glance to convince her that her visit
was ill-timed. The hard critic of the
Edinburgh was sitting in his chair, with
his head on the table, in deep grief. AS
Mrs. Siddons was delicately retiring, in
the hope that her entrance had been IN
noticed, Jeffrey raised his head and
kindly beckoned her back. Perceiviug
that his cheek was flushed and his eyes
suffused with tears, she apologized for
her intrusion, and begged permission to
withdraw. When he found that she
was seriously intending to leave him, he
rose from his chair, took both her hands,
and led her to a seat. Lord jeffrey
Qoq. }" Don't go, my dear friend. I
shall be right again in another minute. !"
Mrs. Siddons-"I had no idea that you
had had any bad news or cause for
grief, or / would not have come. Is
any one dead ?" Lord jeffrey" Yes,
indeed. I'm a great goose to have
given way so but 1 could not help it.
You'll be sorry to hear that Little Nelly
-Bozs Little Nelly-is dead" The
fact was, Jeffrey had just received the
last number then out of "The Old Gu
riosity Shop" and had been thoroughly
overcome by its pathos.

All About DOekery.

NEW YORK, April IA Havana letter
says Frederick DOekery, ex-United States
District Attorney at Key West, about the
clumSiest individual 80 have been sent on
any mission requiring a deal of tact, has
come to grief owing TO his stupidity in sup
posing ne had the right to go about
as he pleased. 1t is said he came
here ON a mission from Gen. Queseda
trying to arrange matters with Cespedes
in the interior and fix things so that Que
seda could land with an expedition. On
the sixth inst, all tattered and torn, Dock
ery presented himself at the Office Of the
United States Consul, a r. r. agent in
Neuvetes, telling him he had just come
from the inSurrection and was desirous of
surrendering to the Spanish authorities, un-
doubtedly thinking he would at once re-
ceive a passport TO 90 back to Key West.
The consul went with him to the military
Governor of the place and he referred the
subject TO Gen. POrtilla, who ordered that
DOckery and the consul be placed in
solitary confinement. COncha ordered
the release of the consul, but approved
court martial TO Try DOckery as a spy.
Thursday following the court martial SEN
fenced him TO death, and the case was sub
mitted to Gen. Concha who it is rumOred,
intends to spare his life as a matter Of
courtesy toward the United States.
