tuid re -ei-. e a grxatful return, w hile the
world wo'tl 1 be no long r to her so lorn-band
dreary a- it had ever s.eincd since her
mothers death.
Slumber at 1 ngth clo.-ed her eyelids,
and her dreams w ere of a most blissful
nature, for they iraa-jined ibrih i.-ions of
love and lovers singing and ph-.yiirjr amid
rosy lowers, while her unknown ' Vela
c-o" appean-d to be their king, and still
paiel all homage to her choosing her out
from among the loveliest to be his bride
and queen. Her breast seemed thrilling
with an almost sntibenting feeling of rap
ture, and her heart swelling full, nearly to
bursting with the intensity of its joys,
until arriving as it were at the summit of
bliss?, those bright fancies were suddenly
dissipated by the entrance of a hideous
dragon amidst that fairy scene to fright
her from its enjoyment. She awoke, and
her thoughts reverted back to the incidents
of the evening previous, while they seemed
almost too delightful for reality, and she
could hardly convince herself that they
were not also a iortion of her dream. I tut
there lay the rose withering upon her
toilet, te which she ran and read over and
over again the sweet confession that
"Velascol urol u-r tcith all Js lwart !
She was satisiied tluU had been no delu
sion, and with an indiscribable expression
of deliuht and wonder blendingly depicted
upon her sunny features, she pressed the
mute messenger to her coral lips, and
smiled as if its very fragrance breathed of
love.
" lie loves me! he loves me!" she ex
claimed in the exhulcraiiee of her joy,
which was, however, immediately checked
by a more serious reflection. I tut who
is it that loves me ?" the musingly asked
herself. "Who is Senor Yelaco ?' She
could not imagine whom he might le, for
she had never heard the name, and was
therefore unable, to conclude whether he
was a noble, or hidalgo though he must
' be a perfect gentleman, or h would n?ver
have devised such an exquisitely romantic
mode of expressing his passion to her.
"And does he really love nie V She
mused; but this, the more she reflected
upon it, seemed as puzzling iis the rest,
for how was she to determine whether he
intended it all as some mere passing act of
gallantry, or was sincere in his profess
ions i Yet even then it was bliss to be
lieve the doubtful equivocation, that "lies
like truth."
From morn till night, the image of that
handsome cavalier, and the flattering
words of his song, so occupied her mini
that she could think of little else; while
she sat humming over the pleasing air,
and gazing upon the place w here she last
saw him wafting kisses toward her on the
wings of night, and is intently as if he
were still visible to her sight. lie wake
ful fancies now co.ijurcd up dreams aiiain
similar t.i her midnight vision; but they
were also doomed to be disjc!led bv a
phantom equally as horrible and appear
ing mure like reality than the ibrnier.
Three days atterwards, Snor Lopez
congratnlatingiy informed her that she was
a betrothed bride! and that her marriage
would take place iu the course of a few
short weeks! She wa- astonished. ! aye,
utterly eon'oun led by tin; unxp-cted in
tvliig.'nce ; aul aooth there was indeed
aniple reason, for this was the first inti
mation .-lie had received of such L. ing a
probable occurrence. IIoAvver, alter the
first shock of th' startling communication
had p::-sod over, she began to console her
self with the reflection that it must be
"Vela -co" who had thus suddenly pro
posed to her: but a- her guardian contin
ue I, she nearly fainted with the sudden
reaction which chilled her hop.s.
"Yon se my dear, Don Kiuamui,
who i- .". nobleman at Madrid, has written
to lne, s ..liviting the honor of your hand
in marriage. Knowing weli his state and
importan-'-. I returned him mv consent
immediately."
'"lat yon could not give him my con
son t !" s.iid she in a tone of deep reproach.
Oii. no! you will give that as a mat
ter of course !" he replied, laughing, with
out appearing to think thai she could have,
the slightest objection to so advantageous
a match.
Don i (.'onstanza fl it ready to weep
with indignation : but womanly pride sus
tained her. and she returned in a tone
that wa- inten l.-d to .-igniiy h r tirmne.--.
though h'T voice was tremulous with
emotion. "Thea, senor, us i m t?l r or'
( .-, I will tt.t lilve m consent: hut will
rather c titer a c-nveiit than many Don
llmanti-'l een though he were tie' king
himself!" And .-he turned quickly from
the presence of her mercenary guardian
toward her c hamber, there to ivc relief
to her sorrows and vexation !y a floo 1 of
t--a!. She was very angry with hit.u fjr
.-itch ::no rti:i'.-:it ol'icious'i-".-.- ; as indeed
v,h:it young maiden would not have bi-cn,
thus to 1' disposed of, like a horse or a
slave to have a husband selected and
agreed upon, ami her own approval and
consent to aft arrangement, riua!iy the
most important of any in woman's life,
deemed of very little account but to fol
low, however, as a "matter of course."
Shi- knew nothing of Don l-'manuel, ex
cept that his name had b i n casually men-
tioned onee or twice in her hearing as a
gentleman of hijji rank iu Madrid, but
who hail .-pent of latesome years abroad.
He might le o!.l and ugly for ali she knew
to the contrary ; and his very ixr.io: sound
ed as if it belonged to a cross. and stupid
old bachelor. "What care I for his state
and importance!" she exclaimed, ictti.-h-Iv,
as these words recurred to her mind,
" I could not love him if he w ere made of
gold and jewels !"
Nor could she have loved him while her
heart was pre-oecupied by the graceful
inunagc of another that of her mysteri
ous serenader ; whom, however, she had
not seen since that eventful evening of his
first appearance. This seemed very
strange to her, as she nightly watched
eager and anxiously hour after hour for
Ids dearly anticipated reapjcaninee ; but
in vain. She felt it indeed singular, yet
she could not believe that such a noble
looking gentleman would play falsely
merely to deceive a simple maiden kind
ling an undying flame in her Ijosnm, and
then vanishing as mysteriously as he came
leaving it to rage and consume her heart
unheeded. Sjme accident must full surely
haw liefallen him, or he would have
sought an interview with her long before;
and she wept with deep anguish at the
thought.
But whether "Ytkiseo" came or not,
she was fully resolved to oppose her tyr
annical guardian's plan, even though the
laws of her country might leave no alter
native lietwecn a compliance with his
wishes and a living burial w"thin a con
