Dear Sir :—Cristone is over, and the

done it, slick as a whistle, though.itcome
mighty- nigh being a serious undertakin,—
nut I tell you all about the whole cir

' 'l'he facile, I's made my minanp moren
twenty times to.jest go and come rite out
with the whole bisiness. but whenever I
got whar she was, and whenever she look
ed at me with her witchin eyes, and kind
o' blushed at me, I always feltimrt o' skew
ed and fainty‘and all I made up to tell her
was forgot, so .I couldn't think of it to save
me. Butyou'ss married man,Mr. Thomp

poppin 'the question , as they call it. Its a
mighty grata favor to ax of a rite pretty
gal, and to , people as aint used to it, it goes

don't mind it no more'n notliin.' But I'm
inakint a transgression, as thepreaelter ses.
Crimes eve I put on my new snit, and
shaved my face as slick as a smoothin
and went over to old Miss Stallinses. As
soon as I went into the parley whar they
was.allisettin round the fire, Miss Carlin
and Miss 'Coltish both laughed rite out.
liThere;there,"ses they, HI told you so ;
I knew it would be Joseph."
"What's I done, Miss Carline 2" ses
"You come under little sister's chicken
bone, and I .do believe she know you was
comin when she put it over the door."
"No I didn't—l didn't no such' thing,
now," see Miss Mary, and her face blush
ed red all over.
"Oh, you necd'nt deny it." sea Miss Ko
ala(' : "you 'long to Joseph, now, jest as
,sure as there's any charm in chicken bones."
I knowd that was a fust rate chance to
say something, but the dear little creator
looked so sorry and kept blushin so, I
couldn't say nothin zactly to the pint, so I
tuck a chair and reached up and tuck down
the bone and put it in my pocket.
"What arc you gwine to do with that old
bone, now, Major ?" sea Mary.
"I'm gwine to keep it as long as 1 live,"
sea I, "as a Crismus present from the hand
somest gall in Georgia."
When I and that, she blushed worse
and worse.
"Aint yon abareted,llsjorrr see she.

THE DIAMOND TAGS.

way a . couple of its ,pendants unobserved.
The, vindictive minister gloated over his
prize 1 Now, as he believed, his revenge
was certain.
The first care of Richelieu was to carry
the diamonds to the king, and to acquiiiiit
hint with the method by which they had
been procured. Louis examined them
closely. There could be no doubt that
they had indeed formed a portion of the or
nament which had been his last present to
his wife; his pale brow flushed with indig
nant rage, every precaution was taken to
insure the speedy exposure of the Queen.
On the following morning. Louis him

at th town hall, would take place the day
but one following: and he coupled this in
formation with the request that, in order
to compliment both himself :ma the magis
trates; she would appear in the sigh
which he had lately presomed to her. She
replied simply and calmly that he should
be obeyed. •
The eight and forty hours which were
Still to intervene beftne his vengeance
could be accomplished, appeared sn many
centuries to the cardinal duke. Anne of
Austria was now fairly in the toils, and
still her tomposure remained unruffled.—
How was this apparent tranquility to be
explained? Richelieu had already expe
rienced that, aided by Buckingham and
gadame d r y Chevrouse, she bad poisoned
the power to buil4e even his ingenuity fi
but she now stood alone, and even had

she ventered upon so dangerous - s - ittep "as •
that of replacing the jeweils, he lvell 'ki*W
that on the. prthient occasion she possessed,! .
neither the time nor the Winans.
The hour ofdlC festival at length struck;
and it had been arranged that the King
should first make his entrance into the holt
room, accompanied by his minister, anti
that the Queen should folloW, attended by
her ow•n court. Richelieu was misblett to
calculate upon commencing his triumph
from the very moment of her appeartaao
on the threshold. • -
Precisely an hour before midnight the
Queen was announced, and every eyeltiltn
ed eagerly towards her. She was magui
ficent, alike in lowliness and apparel. , Sho
wore a Spanish costume,. consisting. oi,a.
dress of green satin embroidered with gold
and silver, having hanging sleeves, Which
were looped hark with large rubies, serv
ing as buttons. 11cr ruff was open, and'
displayed her bosom which was extremely
beautiful, and upon her bead the had a cap
of green velvet, surmounted by a heron
feather, while front her shoulder deseend
ed gracefully the aignillette, with its twelve
diamond tags.
As she entered the King a pproackedber
-avowedly to offer her his compliments
upon her, but actually to count the tags.
Ilia arithmetic annulated to a dozen. The
cardinal stood a pare behind him, quiver
ing with rage. The twelve tags were
hanging front the shoulder of the Queen,
and, nevertheless, he grasped two of them
in his hand at the same moment. Aye, in
his hand! for lie had resolved not to tote
an instant in triumphing over the proud and
i n s o lent beauty who 11... d laughed his pas
sion to acorn, and wade him a mark fur the
ridicule of his associates. The vow that
he uttered in his heart, as he gazed upon
horcalm and defying, brow that night, prob
ably cost IhMkingliain his life; for Riche
lieu was nut duped by the belief that the
shoulder knot of the duke, from whence
hie own two tags had been severed, was
not identieni with that now floating over
'the arm of Anne of Austria.
The plot bad, nevertheless, failed,, and
once more the cardinal was beaten upon
his own ground.
It is, however, time that we should dis
close the secret of this apparently myste=
rious incident to our readers.
On his return from the state ball, at
which he had appeared with the aiguilleue
of Anne of Austria, - Buckingham, who

upon him ; he suspected the agency of his
old enemy and the cardinal duke;.
and his immediate measure was to place
an embargo upon the English ports, and
to prohibit all toasters of vessels from put
ting to sea, under pain of death.
During the operation of this edict, which
created universal astonishment throughoitt
the country / the jeweller of Buckingham
was employed day and night in completing
the number of the diamond tags ; and it
was still in full force when a light fishing
smack, which had been exempted from the
general disability. was scudding across the
channel on its way to Calais, und e r t h e
cominaml of one of the duke's confidential
servants, and having on board, fur all its
freight, the aiguillette of Anne of Austria.
lo the course or the ensuing day the
ports were opened • and the diousand and

the people died gradually away, as no es
planades of the Memo prehensible and rig
orous measure ever transpired. The 11'..
stilt was the reveipt of her shoulder-knot
by the Queen the very day before the ball
of the magistrates.
Thus die apparent tranquility of Anne
of Austria, which had been for the firenfeir
