► Mane Sa Navarro.
It was a fine afternoon in the spring of 1834; the
birds were cheerfully singing on the bees, the
flocks and herds contentedly cropping the young
herbage, and the air was perfimierl with odors.—
Not only did the face of nature brightly smile, but
some festive caret iny was evidently about to be
performed in the village of --, in Navame.—
Nnivibere of yotmg girls was seated at the cothge
doors, weaving garlands of spring flowers, whilst
several youths looked on and encouraged them.—
Here and there an old man, wrapped in a rusty
brown cloak almost as ancient as himself, stood
observing the juvenile groups; and on the thresh
old 01 a miserable hovel satsn aged woman sing
ing a wild air, aocompanied* uncouth gestures;
but whether they betokened joy. grief, or anger, it
worifd have been difficult for a stranger to deter
mine. •
At length the damsels rose. each bearing in her
hand the blooming wreath she had entwined, and
the whole party proceeded to a small Arta, or
square, in front of the church, where, waving their
chaplets gracefully, they danced to, the sound of a
largetamborine and the mountain-ripe, called the I,
pieta. the tones of which strongly resemble those
of the bagpipes. Nor was the human voice want
ing ; the harsh and discordant chant of the bledame ;
was again beard ; and by her side a lean rickety !
boy. of about fourteen, with wiry flaxen
betide look, and unmeaning grin, beat time by clap- I
ping his hands. The dancers became more and
Mare animated every moment; the fine hair of the
young women, which had hitherto been plaited
and arranged with natural good taste, was by some
sudden process, allowed to fall loosely on their
shoulders ; and at the same monient each maiden ;
placed a chaplet on her head, the young men sling
ing large garlands across their breasts, like the
'broad ribbons of chivalric orders.
At the conclusion of the dance, the great gates
of church were thrown open ; at the eastern
end the altar, rftlilersilatit from the effect of nntner
ous large wax candles, had an imposing appear
ance. The cnra, or priest, halted in richly-embroi
dereti -stood under the i.onico,..asisl
spreading forth his hands, bestowed a blessing on
the pecpee, who knelt reverentially to receive it.
While this act of devotion was in prcgress, a load
creaking sound was heard„ and presently a' small
body of men • mowed advancing along the road
which runs doers by the square. Their heads were
revered with the flat cap called La floina ; they
wore coarse brown cloth jackets, and loose white I,
harm trousers, theit waists being encircled with
broad red 'molten sashes, below which, and ~
in fiont
were strapped their cayman,. of cartridge-pouches:
instead of shoes t.‘ey had alpargatas, er hempen
sandals : they were armed with muskets and bay
onets without mabberds were sleek in their belts. I
This vanguard was followed by four grains, each
drawn by two oxen, guided by* a peasant bearing
a long staff, with a goad at one end. The oxen
moved very slowly, the emakin sound being pro.
'awed by the egolutions of the lieatryiwoodar axle•
trees of the grains, which were followed by awry& ,
larger party, clothed and armed in the same man
ner as that in advance, the whole being command
ed by an.ofFicer in uniform. Three et the bullock
cars contained each a new bronze mortar of mode

The remit was, that the waits were drawn along a ,

at the centre of the field, the oxen were taken
out of the wain, which being tilted np, the mor
tars glided easily to the ground. The peasants had
, brought with them the large hoes used by the bus
; badmen of Navarre, sand having dug trenches of
1 about three feet deep, the mortars, which only the
day before were adorned with garlands, and sent
with t hoots and viva% to be employed against the
Christihre, were now buried in the earth in solemn
silence.
The oxen were again yokbd to the waists and
led to the high road, whence they departed in an
opposite direction : the escort took the shortest
route to the mountains, and the villagers hastened
to regain their homes. The gipry proceeded to
the residence of the cum, with whom he was dra
wled for some time; be then went to the small
yenta, or village inn. After his departure, the al
, estate. was summoned to attend the cora; they held
[ a tong conference, at the eonclawion whereof the
alcalde visited every home, and made a commis
nicatim of solemn import to its inmates.
Tow-aids evening several finie_greeps were as

He had previously canoed the place to be surroun

did not betrayany inward emotion. By his side

(at the back of, which, by a strings ovens old, no

It was a fearful quarter of an boar. Each man
joined by a female—a mother. wife ; sister, or one
to whom his heart was dented : the only individ
ual unnoticed by any of the women was the gipsy.
He was a stranger in the village, and Wenger to

of the Navarrese, although its members were at
that early period of the civil war employed on im
putant missions by the Carlin chielkairok He stood
alone with his arms folded, and was apparently in
a gate of abstraction.
The dram sus beat—the quarter of an boar had
elapsed.: the soldiers again began to separate the
men from the women. In the cockatoo, the idiot
bo7 crept up to the gipsy, sad roused him from hie
reverie by saying in a half whisper, "Hoy Senor

"Them is no remedy," replied Mina, u unless

was led to the wall of a house fronting the plain;
his arms were pinioned, and shankerthief was tied
over his fare. He was then shot dead by four aol

Three more shared a similar fate, after every .

The fifth was au old man. Ilia anziookeye had

lay the bleeding corpses of his young companions,
and be was interrogated as they had been previous
ly to the execution. " 1 call Gad to witness," cried
the aged man, " that know nothing of the mat

mortars passed through on their way to Elizondo,

Tie true, tis true," shouted the people, for
getting in the fearful excitement of the moment,
that they were condemning thenisslces by this de
claration.
" Then save his life by confessing," answered
Mina."
"We hare nought to ainfeas," Francium is
innocent," was t h e universal reply, to which sop.
ceedel a sepuktharal silence. •
As the old man was being coadneted towards
the wall where lay the four dead bodies, he parsed
close to Mina'sharce; and at the moment when
his arms were about to be tied behind bun by two
soldiers, be broke from them, and casting 'himself
on his knees, clasped the general's thigh with both
his shrivelled hands, crying, " For the love of the
Holy Virgin, spare me, spare me ! Oh ! by the a/-
relation you bore your own father, we the lire of
an and parent. I never saw the mortars' alter
they left the village the first day.:"
Mina moved not.: has rice appeared as though
it had been chiselled out of a Hoek of frown stone.
The two soldiers is vain endeavored to loosen the
old man's hand from Mina's thigh ; be clung to
I and panted it with all the *meet of desp4alicut:
At length. however, by dint of repeated efforts, he
was gemmed, and having been taken in a state of
exhamtion to the fetal wall, be speedily fell, pierc
ed by the deadly belle's.
Ater this acrid execerion, VW said, in a . load
voice, " Now let the last man in the line be bungle
forward." •
Mina had observed immediately after the old nil=
lager had been shot, that an interchange of glan
ces 101 l of meaning took place between the gips) ,
and the half-wined boy; and surmised, all at once,
that the stranger might be influenced by the fear of
death to dilute the semi.
On bearing the order for his being brought for
ward, the guano's swarthy completion assumed
-a deep yellow tinge, and he trembled from head
to foot. " You have bat five mit:keen to fire un
less the 'nectars be fowl," said byes, addressing
the gimes.
The moral bonstniction of the girls; was of a

He had expected to escape by means of the posi
