[From the New York Ledger. !

From the New York LEDGER
While the Duke de Villa de Medina
was at the English court, he was pre- sent
and took part at tournament gwen by
Elizabeth, where his gallantry and man
ly beauty made him the observed of all
observers. At the close of tie sports.
as the duke came near to the queen, she
said to him, pleasantly, that she would
like to know who was the chosen lady of
so gallant knight; whereupon he shook
his head and would not further answer.
"But," persisted Elizabeth, "there
must be, somewhere, lady whose
beauty and perfection of character gives
to her deeper place in your heart than
is yielded to another?"
"Ah! yes, gracious madam; there is
one SUCH"
"And may not know who she is?"
The duke reflected moment, and then
answered that he would inform her on
the morrow.
And on the morrow he sent to the
queen, inclosed in box of sandal-wood
and mother-of pearl, small mirror.
Those who know Elizabeth s character
can well imagine how deeply this bit of
hattery must have touched her.

THERE is probably no feed SO good for
