' 11-.-Pot-41 Miscellaneous Selections. The Life of a Coquette. The beautiful Baronne B=-. was a coquet to and a widow, and was too proud for the precious freedom of widowhood to wish to risk it a second time in the silken bonds of wedlock. So strengthening her weak wo nian's heart With the shield of universal co quetry, she bade - defiance to the views with which she was attacked. She laughed at the credulity of her victims; and despised them that they could sue so long and so vainly; but in their triumphs she lost the better attributes of the woman. She was a amid a world of briers, and the briers sprang from the depts of her own heart. Thus abusing all her womans, gifts—her beauty, her youth, and her wit—she trampled them under foot as worthy offerings to her own pride of soul. The only recollection our widow kept of matrimony was, - that it had furnished her with a tyrant and a fortune. Her husband had been cold, stern and inflex ible but the fates decreed that she should soon be released from him, and she was left I blooming and beautiful, the _cynosucp , rof every gaze—amongst the men, beit;Opfer-' stood. Perhaps it was not whollySerOwn fault that she was such a despot. Her bright eye gave laws to her crowd of followers. She rewarded with a smile ; she could pun.: ish with a single word, exterminate with an . epigram, exile with a look. her power and used it. Men - feared her wit, whilst they were led captive bY her beauty. Women hated her, but could not detect a flaw in the snow of her character worse than that she was a coldhearted coquette. There was, however, one amongst her train of ador ers who had voweCto himself to, win this lady, and ho thriwiiiinself heart and soul, at the coquett's feet, sure that the reality-of his own feelings must conquer the frivolous caprice of character. Ho was all heart and feelings. "Love's greatest miracle is to slay coquetry, said our unforttimite lover when he left the colons where his mistress reigned supreme. But to'Madame B— a I secret voice murmure,d in the tones of re joicing—"W hat 'happiness to love no one and to see one's self beloved by all I" But what misery to the lover- to see his worshipped one smiling upon all the same beaming smile I Hide thy jealousy from the scornful eyes of this coquette, sighed the beating heart. Of all ills which love brings, jealousy is the one for which woman has the least sympathy. And so the Count Stephano hid his misery in flight. Absence is the tomb of slight passions, but it fans the sparks of a real .affection into a flame. He, therefore, as it was but natural that he should, as quickly returned, and laid his affection once mare at her feet. Count Stephano was not now to be denied ; she had listened too long—she had gone too far to recede—she should here him. He cons tinued his persevering address, till , one mor ning she sent him this letter : "Your love annoys me, dear friend—for so, in spite of all, I must call you—and you and your jealousy frightens me. I have, therefore, taken refuge in flight, and by the time you received this, shall bo far on my way to a land wither you dare not follow me. My uncle commands an Austrian garrison in Italy, and I mean to join him at Milan. I hope, one of these days to meet you again in France, when you shall have learnt to sink the lover in the friend ; and when I hope to find you a reasonable and modest gentleman, instead of a wildful, pas sionate Italian lover, who cares not to un derstand the caprices of a woman's heart." , iShe shall not escape me thus," he said; "the coquette shall learn what it is to deal with men's hearts. I will follow. her." Lie was proscribed, his estates confiscated and a price set upon his head. He, therefore hazarded much in entering Italy again.— The Count Stephano had taken an active part in some revolutionary proceedings in his native land ; and having rendered him self obnoxious to the Austrian government eacaped with his life and ,moderate fortune The Baronne had been same-Short time. in Milan, when, one. day, Genk ceasseur announced a French trav6llsr,loo desirekto see !Vitidarne at pace..

A gun boomed in the distance, 'and tho unhappy Camilla fainted. When she re covered her consciousness, she saw the Count kneeling by her side, and chafing her hands. "Ay, weep," said he, in . a tender voids —"weep for your cruelty has almost had its victim. But I forgive you, Camilla ;we at. ways forgive those who love." "tJp, up, my children," cried the Austri an general ; "enough of looks, sighs and tears. Make love as far away from Milan as possible.
