pt tho happiest he had certainly been ; for his hopes
of iho future soared but'llttle beyond the possessions
.of tho present; but his pleasures Were those 1 of a

ever 'within-his grasp. .
' Bnt the daring and thc speculative alone

a natural kindliness of disposittan*lhan from feeling

: Hat partly frpfn nccessjly, anjl partly because ho
conceived himself a wronged and injured manj ho
was ..induced to. form a connexion, with.one. of .tho
Jaw/cssbanjls that, infested tho sea coast of'Devon
shire: anil, frogi a sgspcplcd smuggler, became one
in reality. Notwilnstnnding tho continued exertions

estate, it wap hot as afdrbtTprospcct, butasdhevent
almost w|th|n Ins rcu.clu It was this feeling, and this
hope, that came over him ns he stood before the
broken door of tho descried house.’.
,Soon fljmll ye ho my own,” ho exclaimed, as he
parsed at Iho threshold; ** my own once more; and in
your spacious hails shall my Ellen silas meekly and
os !genlljr as ;in, her humble cottage on tho moor;

; He whistled*; ths sound was , answered ; and in a
low momcnlsjlic was In Iho midst ofa band of resolute
and daring mcn r who welcomed him as their leader.
~u Comrades! tho moon wanes;. have yon any ono
on.the lookout?”
’*• Aye, sir,-aye,” replied a stout, hardy senmnn.
“Jack'Minnie is up aloft with tho night-glass; and

Tho gang'was carousing merrily—but Herbert sat
apart.. : His .thouglitp were with his lone wife jn her
cottageVweir ho .know that thC'hlght Would be as
sleepless Cbher nsto him; ondit.wna with an aching
hodrt and a burning brow that ho looked upon the
calm heavens; and then-towards (ho moor, (hat lay
•hrMdcd in darkness, and bronthed a slow and solemn
prayer (hat the might not suffer with the
guilty. It was n vain and fooilah prayer; it was n
solemn mockery for justice; and ho knew it. The
husband nnd lhc father should havc.romcinbcr?d that
fiiOhlff dishonor was his Children's sham'; ihntin his*
inilqry they must pnrlic)pntc: nnd that the qonsc.
qucnccs of liia crime could not be yisilod alono on
him.. Il ; was thus he reasoned, when such reasoning
could avail bin; nought..
; : In about an hour, Jack Minns descended from llio
roof «C the house, and gave notice, that the Bcssey

and on Ihcir.way to the shore. Silently and .steadily
they passed..down tho rugged and tiroken cliffs, and
stood at tho water's edge. Soon a solitary spark was
scon dimly burning, for an instant, upon the surface
of lhc,ocean ;so faint wash,(hat by those,only who!
looked for it, could it bo discerned.,“lt pointed.out!
whero tho vessel Iny. The signal was ani woVcdfrom I

momenta the muflled. oars\wer,o rapidly bearing a

(ween tho seamen and their ’associates, and,the work
of unloading commenced. In a space ; 6f limcalrhoal
incredibly short, sho was on her way’Jowiirda the
ship, when a sound that resembled a stifled scron|n
assed along the waves; and thq boatmen stayed
their oars, first .looking along (he sea where their own
vessel rodo tranquilly upon (ho.waters, and then to.
(wards tho land, where they could discern, in tho dim
twilight, an unusual arid ominous hustle, among flic
paity they had left. * .' ~ ~
. It was not tho ordinary stir of thoir employment
thatongaged tho sqi(igg]crs op shnfp. HerbefJ had
given his directions'; 'and- along’thb.craggy cliffs

sisted, when tlm smuggler drew a pistol ffom Ins

Tho stranger replied by knocking Ilt6 pistol out of
tho hand tliat threatened him, and rushed up the
cliffs, fullowod by a number oftho party, oho of whom
fjred his pjstol at the spy..; Tho sound echaed from

jlloxkaii Lsdlei,
The following extract' from a‘letter pf Qcorob
W. Hi/oiies. Capt. of iheTopographical Engineers
will interest some of ourreaders:—
.The women are raiher under what vye regard as
(he mediunsiie, slight in figure, \yell fprmed 'bod
graceful; and-while few are beautiful, many of
them while young are good Ipolcmg anil agreeable.
Their hands and feet are small, wi|h" well .turned
ancles—they have .generally tyhi|e teeth, go©4
mouths, magnificent black eyes’, an 4 glpsiy black
hair in tho dressing of which {hoy"daily- bestow
much, pains. 1 They appear to beamiable.and kind*
hearted, and are said wives and moth*
ors. They are cleanly In iKeTr habits, for most of
the towns and h.pfpg situated on funning
streams, they have cVefy advantage for bathing, of
which they avail themselves most liberally with*
with much superfluods
clothing. ThelruWdVtifess consists of tain
pers, vyithput stockings, a cloth petticoat, usually
red, and a chemise, .which exposes more of ths
person than is, in most countries considered to bo
consistent with due regard to modesty; but this*
{s life custom of the country, and 1 am not diapo*'
scd to. criticise it. With a rosary around thsneok
anq gold earrings, and you. have the. female cos
tume pomnloie. . When they go ahrbad the rebota
is generally wofn ejjjier Ovcf the Head,.concealing
the greater portion o[ the faqe|;br over the should
ers like a shawl. It is'worh by‘all Mexican wo*"
men, its quality depending on the condition of tho
wearer. To their ordinary domestic duties they
add the weaving of rebosas and blankets. The lat
ter are worn.by as dn outer, covering, and Is
literally **.a bed by night, a garinent all the day.”'
Many of themi are of find texture, .and .of great
beauty of figure, and dolor. 1 ' ‘Their prices vary
frem $3 to $75, and pven fos 100. Many ‘of the
better class of females'.'ate well educated and me*
complished ladles, who'Wopld grace’the saloons of
the most polished capitals.'
. The wealthy class live in a styleof great luxu
ry, andl have seldom partaken of more elegant
and sumptuona entertainments than at their hotpi*
table hoards. The service of china and silver are
beautiful and rich, the courses follow each other in
i rapid succession, and the table groans with tbs
, profusion of meats, fruits, confectionary and wines
piled upon it. A gentlemen.whose burios|ty indu
ced him to count the courses at a dinner, at|{ired
me (ha( they exceeded twenty in.number. ;
- .Origin op thr ConoNeß’a.Ji'RY^—The follow
ing paragraph, which may convey some informs*
tiun to the unlearned public, we copy froth y re?
cent number of the London Times: *
“ A lady in London, having boned six husbands
united herself to the seventh. For months the
newly married conplo lived happily together* the
lady frequently declaring that at last she had mel
with a good husband, air her former ones.having.,
disgusted her with their drunkenness. * To ascer
tain her character, ho pretended drunkeness, which
provoked reproaches and menaces; " Ho returned
home another evonWg.'flpprtfpntly very tjnink, and*
having gonb'tb to ue as|eep*; While
he was in this stale, t|td wife Voo[c from, her gowil
piece of- lend* wjuch she melted, apdjdiea
App.ioaohctA.hor ; *
of. a pipev to podi 1 it jp).o jiig ear. Ho instantly
started up, seized and accused her with thecrime*
which she coiild hot deny. The bodies of six
Husbands were disinteyod. when it was discovered'
that they all had £ied by the same means. She
was hung amidst tho.cxecrations of’Che people.—*
To this wholesale tragedy wo are indebted for the
law which forbids l|ie intefpieiUof a body without
a propper rerim"!H“ . r.s»»te of Uw diH‘«e
