They do not fancy being Shot, 4 Their blood has cooled, which was so hot About four months age. [[From all The Year Round] Bill FI6IT ASBJTS COISEttIEICES, I looked up at the endless tiers of specta tors, the ladies, with their flashing eyes and Waving fans, some in the old Spanish dress, but most in Parisian finery, at the dandies of Malaga j the crowds of shopkeepers and ar tisans; whole families together, from the de lighted old grandfather to the children in arms, that was being taught to clap its little hands and crow at the sight of bloodshed ; at the multitudes of peasants in holiday at tire such as their ancestors wore in the days of Ferdinand and Isabella. I gave a glance to the place where the captain-general in his rich uniform blazing with decorations, sat amid a brilliant gn-up of officers and ladies, whose diamonds and courtly splendor seemed oddly placed in such a scene. And then I looked down at the ring. And yet the sport had been merely ef an introductory character. Three or four young bulls had been worried by tridents and flags •'A craven," as those pacific animals are call ed whose temper is known to be meek, had been tormented with squibs, barbed darts, and the incessant brandishing of red 6carfs before his eyes, and had finally been dis patched by Choco, who did what may be called the comic business of the theatre.— And now a fine bull, with wide spreading horns, was in possession of the ring. Thi animal, however, disappointed the knufteurs of the arena by showing more desire to es cape thaferocity. He ran round and round seeking a#out let and bellowing piteously, as the active toreadors on foot, with banners and scarfs, ran nimbly around, taunting and teasing him until his bide was like a pincush ion stuck full of tiny barbed darts, adorned with colored paper. Of this, too, the people grew weary, and a general shout arose. "Toros! toros ! the Murican bull at once No, the Portugese ! Let the English matador show us what he is made of. Toros !" The manager looked up appealingly to the Captain-General, and, receiving an august nod of permission, bustled out. Very soon there was a flourish of trumpets, and then, amid clapping of hands and huzzaing of countless voices, the brindled Murican bull came at a heavy canter into the ring, stooped short, lifted his head, and gave a loud roar of impatient anger. A noble beast he was. and the populace enthusiastically shouted forth their comments on his tossing mam, his deep chest, his dauntless lotk, the strength of his limbs, and the sharpness of his horns. Then to the sound of martial music, in poured the mounted picadors, two and two, fluttering with bright ribbons, and dressed in the old Castilian garb They lowered their lances before the CaptaiD Geneial and rode three limes around the area to exhibit their bright scarfs and rich jackets, while the cymbals clashed and the drums rolled out their loud est notes. The bull pawed the ground, dis tended his nostrils, and, with a short bellow ing cry, stooped his head and began the at tack. The words "Bravo, t<ro !" rent the very sky. It was a butcherly business atbe6t, though I admit that the rich dresses, the long lances, and waving of scarf and ribbon, plume, gave J a false glitter and gallantry to what was real ly a very dastardly and disgusting scene.— The picadors, padded as they were, and fur nished with immense boots through which the bull's horns could not pierce, while scores of watchful attendants stood ready to dis tract the animal's attention in case of need or to carry off a prostrate combatant, were safe enough. But tbe bull itself, bleeding from tbe repeated lance thrusts, did execu tion among the horses, plunging his sharp horns into their quivering flanks again and again, and iufiicting ghastly wounds, wbila still the wretched steeds went reeling round the ring until loss of blood made them drop down on the ensanguined sand. And still the music played its uo c t stirring strains, and still the people shouted, while the ladies waved fans and handkerchiefs in toKan of ap plause, and all the gory savagery of the Span - ish national sport went on with sickening rep etition. At last, nine horses being dead or frightfully injured, two picadors having been bruised by falling against the oaketr barriers, and the bull beingmuch spent, the remaining horsemen left the ridge. Ropes and hooks w ete fastened to the carcasses of the 6lain horses, and tbey were dragged awgy. and fresh sand aud sawdust were thrown down. It was time f or the matador to appear. "Now, Englishman, they are waiting for you. Remember the thrust and be cool," whispered the manager. He led me into the ring,and I made my bow to the Captain Gen eral and another to the audience, while tbe manager, with much grandiloquence, present ed me to the public as "Don Eurique*, of London, the distinguished volunteer, who had so kindly undertaken to fill the office of the eminent Manuel Zagal." Scarcely had he finished this speech before the bull began to advance and my introduce? hastily retired. I stood aloue in the ring, my heart beating quickly, and a red film seeming to obscure my dazzled byes, while the clamor of the crowd and the consciousness that I was the tnark on which thousands were gazing in pitiless expectation almost unnerved me. I had faced danger before, but not in such a shape, and I am not ashamed to own tbttft for a moment my knees felt strangely weak, and my pulse fluttered like a bird over which the hawk hovers. Then came bock the thought of Alice, and I was myself once more. Dis regarding the'spectators, I bent my whole attention on the bull, which was slowly ap proaching me with its head bent dowa and bloody foam dropping from its lips. I steadi ed myoelf on my feet, carrying the cloak gathered on my left arm, and with my right I kept the sword pointed to the earth, ready to spring aside when my antagonist should charge. But the bull was more butt than I had expected. His movements were alow and painful, and the blood trickle* fast from his bridled flanks. His rolling ej T e fixed upon roc, then he gaTve a roar, and dashed at me, while, following the manager's instruc tions, I avoided him by springing' aside, I thought the animal would have wheeled to renew the attack, but the last rush had man ifestly exhausted his remaining strength. lie fell on his knees, and did not rise till the men on foot beset him with squibs and darts when pain and fury revived his forces, and he again made a floundering charge. This time I stepped aside, and without throwing the cloak over £hb bull's horns, plunged the sword into his neck. He fell, and the audi ence set up a shout of"well done Inglese." "That was an easy victorj r ," whispered my friend the manager, as he led me off, after making my bow to the people ; "but don't lit it make you rash. The poor brute was bleeding to death ; thyboCy c'ould : see that. It will be different with the black Portu guese." And so it proved, for the audience loudly demanded that thoj&nces of the picadors should be lipped with wood, all save a point about two inches long, so that the next bull should show better spjrt. And not to dwell on details, after five or six' horses had been disabled, the picadors retired, and amid a flourish of trumpets 1 was placed face to face with the black Portuguese bull. "Bravo, toro! look what a wicked eye he has ! I bet an ounce of gold on the bull - shouted one amateur springing to his feet, and there was a burst of laughter at the offer of this wager, but a breathless silence succeeded as I advanced, step by step, towards where the bull stood, pawing up the loose sand with his fore fept, and roaring low as he watched me. He was a superb beast, very large, but a model of symmetry, and his sa ble coat, now spotted with froth and gore,was as glossy as satin. He was very little hurt ; his bloodshot eyes rolled fiercely ; he was evidently gathering breath to renew tho bat tle. On my part I was well aware that my my life hung by a thread, but that if I could conquer this one bull, the last survivor, rov work would be done, and the money—the price of a man's safety—would be earned. A hasty word of prayer rose from my heart to my lips, and I advanci®cautiously but firm ly. The bull appeared to be in no hurry.— He waited, with htaving flanks, close to one of the barriers while I drew Dear. "Have a care, Englishman, have a care, he means mischief!" cried Borne well meaning spectator in the front row. Scarcely were the words uttered, before with deep and sud den roar, the black bull came thundering down upon me in headlong charge. It was all that I could do to spring aside, and the bull, unable to check himself, dashed his head rgain6t the wooden barriers with a violence that made many women in the lower tier scream with affright. But with great quick-* nejs the hugo beast recovered himself, and came rushing towards me with head low.— Again I sprang aside, but so narrow was my escape that one of the sharp boras caught the sleeves of my gaudy jacket, and rippled it open from wrist to elbow, while the ap plause of the audience followed the •tevke.— Before I could use my sword,*the bull nim. blv wheeled and I was forced to trust for my life to my superior'speed of foot, running round the ring, hotly chased by the bull, whose feet sank in the loose sand. I then turned, and made an ineffectual effort to throw the red cloak over the eyes of my ter rible antagonist, but the crafty beast eluded me, and this time, as I sprang out of his way I felt a sharp pane in my left arm and side, and staggered back,almost dropping thesword The people set up a cry : "Toro ! Viva el Ne_:ro ! the black bull for ever ! Well done, bull ? 1 see the English man's blood." A crimson mist floated before my eyes. I grew dizzy, and the roar of the audience con fused me. Was all, indeed, lost ? Half me chanically while the blood ebbed from my wounded arm, I looked around me. The bull wax close by, I saw his glaring eyes, and tossing horns, he lowered his head and made a fresh charge. Hardly knowing what I did I thrust forward the long strong bladed sword of the metador, and planted my feet firmly and then there was a crash and bellowing roar, and I was beaten to the ground and rose again, feebly, and then I was leaning on my sword, reeling like a drunken man—as the manager supported me, aud bade me bow to the audience while the tfhodY of "0, well done the Englishman ! Viva ! Viva ! Well done !" rose from thousands of throats. Close beside me lay tbe carcass of the black Portu guese bull. My sword had reached his heart. Ihe next thing I remember, was, that I lay half swooning, on a mattress, in one of the inner crypts of the ampytheatre, while a doc tor was binding up my hurts. "Considerable hemorrhage but no artery damaged, after all! said the French snrgeon, let us see the other wound. Bah ! a mere graze. You have escaped belet bein "my young friend after all !" So it proved. I suffered no inconvenience beyond loss of blood from the injury I had received, and the money I had earned being forwarded bj a safe hand to the place of ren dezvous on the following day, Mr. Croft was set at liberty.

A QUAKER WOMAN'* SERMON.— There are three very much wonder at. The first is, that children should be so foolish ai to threw up stones, clubs, and brickbats inio fruit trees, to knock down fruit ; if they would let it alone, it would fall itself. The second is th<tt men should be so foolish, and even so wicked as to go to war, and kill eaolr other; if let alone they would die themselves. And the third and last thing which 1 wonder at is, that young men should be 60 unwise as to go after the young women ; if they would stay at home, the young women wo'd come after them.
