The carnival of 1774 was drawing lo its close, and a giy period of festivity and excess it had proved.— The young Count do Mormont was silling alone, luxuriously' wrapped in his brocade dressing gown, and daintily sipping a cup of pure Mocha coffee, then at tho height of His popularity In Peris, when his'valet entered, and presented him a'-dcllciansly perfumed note upon a silver salver. Tho Count lazily examined the scar? the devices tifsthich were pretty, but the arms wore not those of any nofcljjjouse he could on tho moment recall. The superscription was in a fine female hand, bot that 100, was unknown. In consideration of these circumstances, he opened the note with some degree of Interest and read as fallows : Mv Dear Count:— You will be without faij at the Opera ball to night; it ia the last one of the Curnivul and will be so gay. But it ts not for that 1 bid you borne—l must sec you in relation lo mailers of im parlance.

Marmont tossed the note from him rather care lessly and recommenced sipping hla coffee, muttering, meanwhile to himself— I ‘Who can this be I Bui t*shaw i am 1 not engaged lo Julie do Fonlnuge, the prettiest little Peri out of Paradise 7 And have I tiol promised her lo cut those b ills 7 Rut this is the last one of (ho season, and ’faith I should like lo go.

'lf you please,'said Mormool. And ho listened to a minute and correct desoript** ion from tho pink, domino of her ladyship's boudoir. Then branching off, as if ahe delighted to perplex and surpiiso him, recounted a thousand portion* lara of MormonUa-lifo, habits, even his thought, until ho was completely perplexed and bewildered. *1 am entirely mystified,* ho said at Icnglh. ‘Tho riddle of tho Sphinx was nothing to this. You must lake pity, and reveal to mo the being, the good angel who takes such an interest in my affairs. Ifecl that you moat bo beautiful; atop aside with me and lift your mask. I conjure you, do,' •Nay.’ 'But I 2neist.* ‘Perhaps you may not like mo as well.’ ‘I do not fear, come.' , ‘Not here, not;imid this vulgar crowd,* replied (he pink domino. ‘But go with mo (o my hotel, where there ore somo friends of mino who are desirous of tho honor,of making your acquaintance, and I will reveal all. When you know us you will thank for tune for having brought you hero to-night. 1 ‘Don’t accepMhc-invUolion,' said another voice in a low whisper—so low Indeed, that it reached only the oars of Mormont. Ho turned suddenly and saw beside him a yuung lad, wearing his own blue and silvery (ivory, but masked like himself,- The page, as soon as ho was observed, shook his head, held up a warning 6nger, and then disappeared in the brilliant crowd that surrounded them. ‘But ofcourse, Mormont paid no attention lo the impertinent interference of a strange strippling, and yielding to the impulse of his curiosity, left the ball room with hi* fair friend, and was soon sealed beside her in her carriage. Ho was so focinalcd by tho wit and gaity o/ her by his side, dial ho did not notice the direction die carriage took, only that tho course was very rapid. When the driver reined up, and tho footman.ihrcw r inK domin* gave her hand to Mormont, sprang lightly oul of ih* carriage, and then hurried him into tho house and up a dark stair case, and then ushered him into a room which was also in complete darkness. •Where can my lackeys bo 7’ she said pollislily. 'They have taken advantage of my absence; bat wail bore fur a moment, and I wilt quickly remedy this neglect.' Mormont was left in darkness, but not entirely alone, as ho thought, fora light hand touched bis shoulder f ‘Mormont!’ said a voice that thrilled to his very heart. ‘Julio do Funtaqgpjli excUimod the young roan. 'You hero a partner in (his mystery 7* ‘Alas, no !’ replied Julio. ‘Finding that you disre garded my warning, I got up bohind ihe carriage and followed you Into this house. 1 fear you are betrayed. If so, though unable to savo you, 1 can at least die wilh yuu- ' She could say no more. Lights appeared, and wilh thorn three ruffianly fellows, with long rapiers at their sides, preceded by the pink domino, whose face, now (hat she wne unmasked, exhibited features of groat regularity were stamped by the un m'&yah,!Vr'.aSSi at Julio, who was dressed in blue and white livery. ‘ VV ho Is this boy 7’ •My page, niiidime,* replied Mormont, with perfect coolness. ‘Rut pard.nn.me, I do not recognize you even unmasked. Wilfyou not give me your name, tint I may associate it in my memory with the pleasant mysteries jf (his evening ?' •You wilt learn that soon enough,' replied the woman, with a mocking smilu. *Yo must excuse mo now, while I retire! those gentlemen will keep you company in the meantime. As the pink domino left tbe room, the three men seated themselves, motioning Mormnnl with clumsy courtscy to follow their cxsmplo. They were evi dently cut throats and robbers, Mormonl now bit terly repented hiving left his sword at homo, for he was s master of Ins Weapon, and (ffotigh against such fcnrful odds, could at least hope to save his life. Uo thought of Julio,too, Involved in (ho same mortal peril with himself, and bis heart sunk within him.— Uut ho kept up the appearance of perfect coolness, knowing (hat the slightest manifestation of distrust would bo the signal for inStarU assassination. •Long live the Carnival, lie exolairried gaily.— There is nothing like it for intrigue and ihia 100 ms to bo one of the Arabian nfglfl’s entertainments,’ Tha ruffians had notfor hoard of tho Arabian nights hut they thumped on the table and roared out, ‘good ! with (heir ample emphasis. •Pray, monsieur/said ono of ibd rdfllans, ‘have you tho time about you 7’ •It is post midnight/ replied the Count, consulting an elegant gold watch set In brilliants. •Egad, that's a pretty lOy/ oiclaimod tho ruffian, stretching out his hand, and grasping tho watch. ♦You liko it t* said tho Count, hastily dclslching it front the Chain. *Pr*y accept it as a slight sou vcnlr/ ~ •That's s splendid diamond ring of yours . said another of tho ruffians. ♦Do you think so 7’ said tho Count. ♦Pray accept It for nfy sake. 1 sol hlllo store by tho bauble?.’ ♦What a prctioiifl gem it is!’ mattered tho third rufll m, from between hid yellow fang like teeth.

Napoleon and Josephine. Napoleon’s acquaintance with Josephine arose from tho impression made on him by her son Eu gene Beauharnaia,. when a little boy. He came to request that his father's sword, which had been! delivered up, might be restored to him. Tho boy’s appearance, the earnestness with which he urged | his rsqiloel »iml ilia laara uihiflh onnU nnl ai>r 1 ed when ho beheld the eword, interested Napoleon | so much in his favor, and not only wan the sword given to him, but he determined to become ao quainted with tho mother of the boy. He visited her, and soon his visits became frequent. He de lighted to hear the details which she gave of the Court of Louis. “Como,* 1 he would say, as he sat by her side of an evening, “now.let us talk of the old court— let us make a lour to Versailles.” It was in these frequent and familiar interviews that the fascine* (ions of Josephine won tho heart of Napoleon.— “She is,” said said he, “grace personified—every thing she does is with a grace and delicacy pecu liar to herself.” The admiration and love of such a man could not fall to make an impression on a woman liho Josephine. It has been said that it was impossi ble to be in Napoleon's company without being struck by his personal appearance; not so much by the exquisite symmetry of his features, and the noble head and forehead, which have furnished the painter and the sculptor with one of their finest ?.«« was imrvaTTing expression ol countenance, wh‘ch changed with every passing thought, and glowed with every feeling. His amite, it is said, always* inspired confidence. “It is difficult, if not impossible,” so the Dutchess of Abranles writes, “to describe the charm of the countenance when ho smiled—hia soul was upont his lips and in his eyes.” The magic power of that expression, and a lalor period, is well known. The Emperor of Russia experienced it when ho said, “I never loved any ono more than that man.” He possessed 100 the greatest of all charms, and harmonious voice whose tones, like hia counte nance changing from emphatic impressiveness to caressing softness, found their vf ay to every heart. It may not have been those personal and mental gifts alone which won Josephine's heart, the ready sympathy with which Napoleon entered into her feelings may have beep tho greatest charm to an affectionate nature like hors. It was in the course of ono of those confidential evenings that, as they sal together, she read to him (ho last letter which she had received from her husband, and it was a most touohlnc farewell. Nonotoon was deeply alTbcledi end it has been said that that letter, and Josephine’s emotion as she road It, had a powerful effect upon his feelings, already so much excited by admiration. — Frazer's Magazine. Impertinence Punished. , A French paper gives an account of a curious incident that occurred at a charily fair in Pans.— 1 A young lady celebrated for her beauty and her wit, presided at one of the tables.' Among the throng which pressed around this fair vendor of elegant fancy articles, was a young gentleman of much assurance, whio gazed ppon tho lady with offensive freedom, and affected to admire the va rious articles exposed for sale, but who bought nothing. ...... L “What will you please tqbuy sir! asked the lady, with a smile of mofo than common moan ing f” “Oh,** replied tho exquisite, with a languishing look, “what I most wish to purchase, Is unhappi |y, not for sale.’* “Perhaps it Is,** safd the lady. “O, no—l dare not declare my wishes." “Nevertheless,” said the fair one, “let mo know what you wish to buy." , “Well. then..since vpu **,•,»'”*' like to have a ringlet of your glossy hair. The lady manifested no embarrassment at the bold request, but with a pair of scissors Immedi ately clipped off one of her beautiful locks and handed It to tho astonished youth, remarking that the price was five hundred francs. Her bold admirer was thunderstruck at this de mand, but dared not demur, as by ihUlimo a group had collected and were listening to the conversa tion.

Raven hill, (Royal Eogincors,) with three guides, throe muleteers, and a servant, together with cloven mules, loft Nicolini with aulntenlbn of ascending Mount Etna, and taking a shelter at the Casa Ingloso. At II o'clock the party In excellent spirits, reached the Bosco, where they pul on their light clothing. The wind was blowing fresh from the westward ; so much so, Indeed, (hat the guldis persuaded a email Italian party to defer their ascint-till the morning,but could not succeed with our friends, the loader of whom had weathered too tmny stiffbroezcs at sea to turn his back on one on shore-—on, therefore, they went Passing the Bosso about two miles, the huge cra ter below Etna, called the Coloai,glared awfully, and shortly threw ap largo bodies of firo and smoke— Immediately after Etna vomited forth its fire and ashes, and as the wind sol toward IboCasiL it win not prudent Jo seek it* friendly ohoTTor, as 10 all ptababJity it would be destroyed ; their course was, therefore, changed, the Colossi being now the pant to which it was directed. aho weather, which had been very cold, was In erw tyaing in i(s comfortless intensity, and whoa our tra oilers had got above the height of the Casa In gli e, In a narrow defile, of which sand and small lot i wore tho component part*, they were overtaken by i hurricane so violent, that in an instant eoven mi es and (heir riders wore blown over; and not on ’ so, but to render the scone more torrifitf it was aft rwards found they wore blown to the very edge of ho crater.

To face the wind charged with sand and email stones was beyond their power. In this manner two hours passed away, and most anxious did they look for the approach of dawn. Within thoArraler, which some of the party courageoualy examined, fbrly small furnaces were burning awfull/; thfesr, os thoy reached Catania, seemed to amalgamate, and one vast issue appeared to carry destruction to some villages and pasture lands, which as reported, have been seriously injur ed. Often has the Indomitable courage of the soft sex, when tested, been proved lu bo greater than that of man. Nothing 01 this occasion could equal their more than heroism.

The 1 Italian party which had preceded them had reported their obstinacy in proceeding against the opinion of their guides, and tins led to the natural report that they were numbered with the dead. Their safely, indeed, is miraculous ; for had rain ensued, bs often happens before an eruption, they would have been washed away ; had the wind chang ed they would have died under the sulphur impreg nated air. As it was, the Culancso turned out, and hailed (he return of the bravo party as men and women nnracuouaty saved from a fearful doom.
