survive her mother A year or two after
this, she went to Havana with Mrs. W.,
highly respectable lady, who then
owned the property where the Christian
Brothers now reside, near Natchez. Her
extreme beauty, her grace and elegance
produced the greatest enthusiasm. The
hotel where they put up was besieged.
Ii she appeared on the balcony dozen
cavaliers were waiting to salute her.
When her rOlantc was seen on the Paseo
or the Plaza dc Ar7nas, it was escorted
by the glandees Of the island. She was
feted by the governor general; serelfades
and balls followed IN rapid succession,
and the daily homage to her beauty never
ceased until the evening bells sounded
the Angelas.
Without surrendering her hear, or
being carried away by this universal adj
miration, she returned to the cottage on
the Hallway hill. She was followed
there by Mr.. K, an English gentleman,
the head of the largest commercial house
in Havana, and to him, on his second
visit, she gave her hand.
The vine-covercd cottage, its trelhses
and borders, have crumbled into dust.
The courtly lover and the innocent
maiden are long since dead. But the old
hill still Lifts its aged brow, wrinkled all
over with traditions. A favorite lookout
of the Natchez in time of war-the scene
Of the daring conspiracy against the
Spanish authority-the rendezvous of
lovers-the hiding place of brigands, and
a depot for their blood-stained treasure
mute, but faithful witness of the past
