The soft resonance of bugle and violin, and dulcet harp, that for the last half-hour had floated above the sound of tripping feet and gay young veices, like the silver wings of some triumphant bird, had ceased --the dizzy waltz was over, and the belle of the evening, surrounded by a dazzling constellation ofmasculine admirers, walked languidly toward the conservatory. She was beautifulâ€"«very beauti- ful, notwithstanding the carping whispers and Sharp edged criticism levelled at her bv her own sex, who ‘ never could see anything so very wonderful iti Julia Mellen.’ The cluster of diamonds at her bosom was scarcely more brilliant the than the sparkle of her deep, violet eyes : her lips, scarlet as the heart of the pomegranate blossom, wore a slight curl Of prile, that added to her beauty ; and the brown ringlets, just looped back from her fair fore- head by a spray of gleaming pearls, had somehow contrived to entangle more hearts in their Shining tendrils than their lovely owner could well enumerate. And did not Julia Mellon know how beautiful she wasâ€"how admir- M ingly men looked upon herâ€"how enviously woman turned away? Did not her foot touch the earth do with the air of an empress, and her languid lips droop with a Cleopa- tra’s hnughtinessl Oh, woman! wcmant thy reign is despotic, but sooner or later the bloom and the must fade, the sceptre be laid aside, and thenâ€"â€" The beauty paused suddenly, as a frank, nobleâ€"looking gentleman made his way through the crowd that encircled her. ‘Oh, Henry,1 was just looking for you.

Heaven be the judge between me and thee, proud woman 1’ The next moment he turned calmly to Mr. Ashby, who came to apologize that his cousin was too much engaged to admit of an intro- duction at present. ‘ Never mind, Ashby,’ he said quietly, ‘I appreciate your good will as much as if it had produced the desired eerct.

Oh, how piiilessly the wind howlâ€" ed on that bitter March nightâ€"«how keenly the cold found its way into myriad crevices of worm eaten doors and rattling easements in that dreary tenement house, where a haggard, wild-eyed woman sat overl the tenements of what once had been a fire, and straining her vision over a piece of fine I'Iccdlework by the light of one dim candle.

And, Macl’herson, here is a cheque for what money she may need at present. I am only God’s almoner for the wealth He has given me.’ The agent bowed silently and withdrew. It was a joyful heart that he carried to the dreary house in the narrow court. ‘Am I dreaming 7.’ said Julia De Torre, pressing her wasted hand to her brow. ‘ Who is there that would be thus kind to me ’1’ ‘ Mamma, you have dropped this bit Of paper,’ said littlc Mary, who had just returned from seeing the agent depart. Julia took the narrow slip of paper from her daughter's hand, and read the signature with an indescribable thrill. ‘ Stanwood I-Inrley.’ Truly, be was avenged ! TATEA, THE SAVAGE S WEET- HEART.- A. Melbourne paper, received by the last mail, publishes the following on the authority of one of the best. musical composers in France, who professes to have received it from the lips of Vincent \Vallace, the cele- brated composer: “I was at Sydney (said Wallace) when the commander of an English frigate, with whom I was acquainted proposed that I should accompan him to New Zealand, whither,- he was about to proceed for the purpose Of chastising the natives in the Bay of Tavia I’ownamou, who had pil‘ Iaged a whaling vessel and eaten the crew. I accepted the invitation, and next day we set sail, and after a short run sighted our destination. The troops on board were stowed between docks, the guns masked, few of the crew were permitted to be seen, and pains were taken to give the frigate the appearance of having been half dismantled by a tempest, and of having run into the bay for shelter. The ruse succeeded. A; swarm of canoes, each filled with armed natives, immediately pushed from the shores, and as soon as they had come within gunshot range, the frigate’s double tier of guns Opened a murderous fire, the soldiers sprang on deck and poured volley after vol- ley into the astonished natives, and the waters Of the bay were soon covered with the dead and dying. The ship’s boats were launched, and two canoes, containing the chiefs of the local tribes, were captured and placed on board the frigate. Having thus cxpcditiyusly accomplished her vindictive mission, the frigate weigh- ed anchor for Tasmania; but before doing so, the surgeon of the vessel requested permission to remain be- hind for the purpose of studying the flora Of New Zealand, and I Offered to accompany bin. Our safety was guaranteed by the two chiefs, who were released on that condition. I had already acquired a smattering of the language spoken at Haiwai, which t‘cseniblcs the Maori dialect, and was thus able to conciliate the good graces of two charming young New Zealand girlsâ€"«Mere and Moi- anga~one carried my ammunition and the other the game I shot in my excursions; but my alibctions were soon fascinated by the daughter of my protector, Emai, a beautiful young creature of sixteen, who ab- durately refused to listen to my suit that she would become my wife, al- though it was warmly seconded by hot father. l l (.ood for the occasion; but though with a small keg of tobacco which I possessed. That was the irresistible spell, and I had not divincd it ! The tobacco was Tatea’s, and Tatca was mine. If any one had proposed to transport me to‘ China, to the proce- lain palace of the Emperor, and to give me the celestial princess,- his daughter. for nay wife, with a bun- drcd mandarians decorated ‘Vltll the crystal button to wait upon me,I would have refused. ‘ My nuptials were celebrated by a splendid feast, and a young native belonging to another tribe, who had been detected flagrante delicto, was Tatca offered me a prime cut off the Shoulder, served up in a fern leaf, and surrounded by succulent hopanas I was unable to touch it. The sur- geon, out Of bravado, made the ex- periment, but was seized with nau- sea,to the great indignation Of Kca (Koro’s cook)’, “the looked upon it as a disparagemcnt ofh‘is art. After dinner we smoked and drank, and the beautiful Tatea, seated by my side, sang to me. as in confidence, ‘three couplets, of which I only re- member the rcfrairt~ ’ “ E takowe e 0 mo tokei mei raiigui Ks. tai ki reira, akou, rangui auraki.” {5.1311194} thou shalt have arrived at the port whither thou goe‘st, thither will my affections follow th‘ec.’)‘ Beloved Tatca! swcct bird ! the old world never dreamed of poetry like thine. Shakspeare, Byron, Web-:r, Moore, Shelly, Tennysonâ€"you are but clumsy prose writers after all! ‘ ’I‘atea had often observed me dreamily tracing on the ground with the stock of my gun the letter T, and could scarcely credit m'y assur- ance that that Sign represented the first letter of her own name; but one day, during my brief absence, she carved the same symbol some- what clumsily on a rock, and when I returned she clapped her hands gleeâ€" fully, and was overjoyed to hear me pronounceâ€"son seeing itâ€"-‘-’-the word ‘ Taeta.’ , ‘ So the silken hours glided away, and I had forgotten England and everything but my new life and my Tatea, when one day the frigate re- turned. I literally felt my blood run cold as I saw the vessel loom above the horizon. But the English on- sign floating from the mainmast pro- duced the same effect upon me which the diamond buckler did upon Rinalâ€" do, and it soon appeared to me pos- sible, if not easy, to tear myself from the embraces of my Armida. When my departure was announced, what tears, what despair, what agitations of the heart it occasioned! Tatea showed herself at first to be the most resigned, but when the captain’s gig came ashore for us, when she saw the doctor embark, and beheld me distributing my parting gifts to the chiefs, Emai and Kore, she flung herself at my feet, and conjured me to give her one last proof of my affection. ‘ Yes, yes,’ said I, strain- ing her in my arms, ‘takc all I have; for without you everything I possess is nothing wortb.’ She made a ges- ture of dissent; then seizing a knife from her father, who remained the impassive witness Of our emotions, she presented the point of it to my naked breast, signifying at the same time that She wished to trace some Sign upon it. I consented, and Tacta made a crucial incision, from which the blood flowed freely. Then the poor creature fell upon my shoulder, and dabbed her face, her hair, and breast with my blood, sobbing pas- sionately the while, and breaking into the most touching exclamations of grief. " The girls Mere and Moinga had swam to the frigate before I reached it, and another sad separation had to be undergone. On the shore I had left Tatea in a swoon; and here were two other faithful creatures swimming round the vessel with one arm, while, with the other, they In vain did I offer Tatca waved me their farewells, repeating Not only manly beauty is produu' sion- of the lips and teeth, but cou»‘ ncss, and pOWct' are the infallible results. Men who have been jostled ( a u a about among the VICIssnudes Ofa commences in the mouth. lack the courage to meet their fcl-‘ low-men in physical combat are afraid, not of their enemy, nor from‘ a conviction of their own inferiority,- but from the disarming nervousness of an open and tremulous mouth, the vibrations of which reach and weaken them to the ends of their fingers and toes. In public debates -â€"in the forum or the pulpitâ€"a simi- lar alarm results in their certain dc-’ feat; and before a hive of bees, in the same want of confidence, the Odor of fear Which they emit is sure to gain them the sting. In one of the exacting scenes of my roaming life, I recollect to have witnessed a strong illustration of the above rc- marks, while residing in one of the Sioux villages on the banks of lhe Upper Missouri. A serious quarrel having arisen bethen one of the Fur Com‘pan‘y’s men and a Sioux brave, a challenge was given by the Indian and accepted by the white man, who were to meet upon the prairie, in a state of nudity and un-‘ attended, and decide the affair with their knives. A few minutes before ithe horrible combat was to have” .commcnced, both parties being on’ . the ground and perfectly prepared, the factor and myself succeeded in bringing them to a reconciliation, and finally to a shaking of hands, by, which we had the satisfaction of knowing, beyond a doubt, that we‘ had been the means of saving the life of one of these men; and a short time afterwards, while alone with the Indian,l asked him if he had “not felt fears of his antagonist, who“ appeared much his superior in size and in strength, to which he very promptly replied: ‘No, not in the least;- I never fear harm from a man who can’t shot his mouth, no matter how large or how strong he may be.’ I was forcibly struck with this re-: ply. as well as with the conviction I had got in my own mind (and no doubt from the same symptoms) that the white man would have been kill» ed if they had fought.
