Twm a iiiyltl of festivity in Fiunder*. Tho nn-
testral old country sent of the puissant and fumed
Cuur.t Baldwin, ruler ol the province, was illumina

^splayed at every loop, un i window, and outlet of
the time.worn puc. The streams of rich, joyous
music, that filled the air with melody most sxveul,
luld in language two impressive to bo mistaken,
liiat naught hut gaiety for the moment reigned
•iibi'i. Over turret, battlement and tower, bright
banners, and gay festoons, wave their silken folds
to the light evening breezo; within the spacious
‘•ails, resounded the rapturous si rains of soul inspir*
tog music—the light, guy laughter of merry-heart'
td damsels, the measured tread of tho duncers’ step
toe lav of the welcomed troubadour blending the
lw eet inflections of his voice with the harmony of
i' 1 * instrument, the shout of health and wussuil, the
Arousal of the banquet, and the busy hum of human
'oices, mingling their many tones, and sending
heavenward, a st t ango and confusing, yet far from
“"pleasing, medley of sound uud noise, din and
riot.
Without, *twas a scene of splendor and serenity
town upon one of the richest garden spots ol nature
;'tot earth can boast of, poured luo soft light of the
l( ight moon iu the full flood of glory and inngnifl-
! and as tho trees and shrubbery waved their
' ,u "g limits and brunches with the influence of the
frvze, the luxuriant glades and spreading lawns.
“iTe chequered with changing spots of light and
l& de, most beautiful to look tip.m. And there were
!i °Hs there who deemed mat nature was gifted with
‘'ructions quite equal to those displayed wit do ;
:r '"« the hours moved on, and higher, yet higher,
de dm sovereign of the night, one by one, and in
' ,u P'o*, uye, and even in puriie-s of three and four,
too members of the vast company then: assembled
from the hot distipuiion and excitement ul
' * hull.room, to the hattlements ana tower walls;
' n, ‘i there had now collected upon the outworks
1:| ii platforms of the castle, at least a third of those
r *> had ikwrts met fur the ocwuloo, to receive eo«
t r *«»uinii nt % tutdeujoy the hospitality of the might)
J rd of Flanders.
Bat there was one couple upon the platform lead
l« the toxver.gate, that kept aloof, and seemed
1 have no communiun with tho real. When the
^vulric uml courteous Couiil Baldwin had been
•formed that a portion of his cx>inpuny had left the
enjoy the coolness of the night in the
ojk'ii, tmptiluiied air, with the kindness and tirbaui.
ty which he ever evinced for the comfort and grut.
ilientinn of his guests, he had ordered a disjday ol
lire huloons, and the attendance of a hand of mils.
i: upon the lawn, to tho right of the eastern wing
of the house ; and now, when those for whoso plea,
sure these matters had been urranged, had flocked
toward that side from whence they could most tea.
diiy witness the performance, and listen to the mu.
nic, thi® solitary couple moved not from tho spot
which they had, from the first, occupied, hut re.
mained gnzirg in silence over the many parapet,
inward the flur-olf precipitous heights of the rocky
Jura, which were visible from where they stood,
marking tho boundary of fair Franco.
The cider of the two, was a young man, in the
prime and flower of youth, a graceful and nppar.
cnllv gentle chevalier, of stately mein, and pleasing
countenance, and ur rayed in rich robes of fur and
cloth, adorned with jewels. Liu wore a small vel
vet ctip % from which rose a sisiglc long heron’s feu.
titer ; n bahlrick of satin, worked with golden
flowers, crossed his silken tunic from his slioulJer
to his side, and where hung a long, narrow, Italian
blade, in u gulden acablmrd, with its lult of moth
er-of pearl, garnished with many costly jewels, and
in the girdle that circled his waist, was thrust, more
for ornament, than any fears of the necessity of its
being required for use, a small dirk in a curiously
carved and ornamented sheath. Close unto his
companion, a damsel—aye, and young and loveiy
too. fie had stationed himself, with one hand
closely clasping hers, and pouring into her ear, if
impassioned gestures, and an earnest eloquent ex
pression of his countenance, may be Construed in
to such a meaning, a tale oi ardent, uncontrulable,
and cnthusinsticul love, of deep and pure devotion
unwavering and sincere. And well, indeed, might
he find room in his warm and youthful heart, to
enshrine the image of that sweet being, for never,
since the < ay, when for a misdemeanor, to call it
by no harsher name, mother live was expelled
from celestial Eden, had there duwfled upon the
earth a brighter creature, or one better modelled
by nature’s hands, to turn the hearts of all the world
and set them quarrelling for love of her rich beau,
tv.—Twenty summers had not flushed upon her
rosy cheeks; hut, although thus young, the fume of
her unmatched ami peerless presence, had rcsoun
ded through all the courts of Christendom, ami kings
had not disdained to enter tho held in competition
for her hand and heart. But ns yet, that stubborn
tiling, the latter, had not felt the influence of love.
All went as they had come, unsuccessful in their
suits, and even he who was now suffered to whis
per unchecked of his fond hopes of winning, where
many had failed, was listeneil to with apathy and
coldness, and more out of respect and friendship for
tho speaker, than for any sympathy that might he
lurked iu her bosom with the burden of his words.
Titus tarried they upon that spot, while time flew
by with wonderful rapidity, until the moon had at
tained that height iu the heavens, which betokened
midnight ; yet, neither had manifested any dispo
sition to retire, until, in reply to a passionate excla
mation, and a torrent of burning protestations,which
burst from the lips of tho youthful suiter, lor the
hundred) time within the hour, the maiden answer,
ed irrevocably, but with such winning grace and
loveliness, that it but caused him to love her yet
more madly than before :
•Urge mo no more, I pray you. I grieve much,
and have often heretofore, that you and 1, my brave
cousin, can never be to each other, more than we
are now. Ask me not why. i cannot tell you.
Desist, therefore, 1 beseech you, in thus pressing
mu on, for it will but servo to raise greater obsti*
cles. My respect, esteem, friendship, nay, more,
my love is your’s ; hut your wife, I can never be.
Seek out some one more worthy to be your bride,
and in her caresses, forget one who is not worthy
of your thoughts. Come, let us in—the night grows
chilly, and sec, tho platform is deserted, and we
tiro left alone. Perchance we may be misled, and
scandal will then be in circulation. Come.*
.She extended her hand towards the statue-like
youth, who, immediately accepting it. pressed it
first to his heart, and then tu his lips, and as he did,a
tear trickled from his glistening eyes, and fell up
on it. Hastily brushing away the signs of his
weakness, he then led her gently down the steps,
and shortly after re-appeared in the ball.room, di
vested ol every trace of his lute emotion, and np.
parently the gayest of the gay. Loud and riotous
were the bachanalian choruses that shook the fret-
ted ceiling of the banqueting room, for the Lord of
tho mansion, and of the province, was there, with
t o flower of his court, doing tho honors ami courte
sies of hospitalities to the envoy then newly arrived
from England’s shore. The board was spread iu
tho centre of tho apartment, capable of entertain
ing at least a score of knights and rotraints upon
each side, but those that were now engaged iii the
carousal, were limited to two or three and thirty
picked from the noblest families ol the land. Upon
a raised platform or dais, at the upper end of the
hull, was seated Baldwin the Fifth, surnamed the
gentle Earl of Flanders, a man who hud attained
the middle uge of life, possessed of a singularly
mild, benign and amiable disposition,, united to a
pleasing conference, and peaeelul form, now ur
rayed iu guimeuts ol costliest velvet, siiknnd satin,
adorned with tiimevcr and down, and
lul to the mighty lords of Flanders, Permit me,
ere 1 resume my seal to pledge you, in this bright
wine the health of one infinitely dear to you, to me
to nil who know him ; the brave, the virtuous,
cbivttlric und beloved upholder of your country’s
rights and dignities. Weal, thou, and wassail, und
shake the walls and roofs, the lowers, battlements,
and turrets to their centre, uye, shako the building
to its very deepest foundation ; to the long life und
heultli, glory, honor and prosperity, of ono of (lie
first uud mightiest of the rulers of tho earth—lh»
good and gentle Baldwin Earl of Flanders.* And
indeed, the shouts and cries, and exclamations that
followed his brief speech, did shake the puluce to
its centre, und joining in the rear, the whole body of
the assembled followers, swelled lltn tumult uud
confusion with the utmost power of their lungs evin-
cing how strong a hold tliu love of their noble ru
ler bill upon their hearts.
‘You will think, I trow,’ whispered tho Earl to
Binhlric Shaw, us soon as this momentary
confusion had, iu a measure subsided, as the par
ties paused for breath, ‘You will think that we uro
but a boorish set, and can decido far better about the
the qualities of the contents of our wine cups, than
upon matters of a ioftier and more manly nature.’
•Nay, indeed, my Lord,’ rejoined the other with
happy elocution, • ’Twas not in the relaxation of
convivial hours, tlmt those actions were wrought
which ranked your people among the wisest and
bravest of the earth. None may expect that tho
loosened how will speed the quarrel.’
Il /wing in return for tho compliment evidently
intended to bo convoyed in this reply, Count Bald,
win, rose from his soul, uud proposed leaving tho
hunquel to their companions, and adjourning to the
dance. Tho fair young envoy, with a smile of ac
quiescence, immediately adjusted his garments,
which had become somewhat displaced iu the rev.
elry of tho hour, and following his steps through
the long halls and corridors, until they reached a
large oaken door, quaintly curved upon the outside*
into Scripture scenes, which the count throw open,
and motioning for his companion to enter, they
found themselves in the midst of a crowd of lords
and ladies, whirling along in the mazes of the
dunce, to the time of rich mid joyous music.
it was, indeed, a gay scene to look upon. Ban
ners and ensigns were drooping from the walls and
ceiling; wreaths and flowers, woodbine and ele-
guntiue circled the massive pillars that supported
the gallery, wherein the musicians of the court were
rolling out their strains of melody ! beauty, bright*
young beauty, and manly grace, and all the charm*
of kind and courteous intercourse, lent their aid u>
render the passing moments festive and free from
sorrow. But umong the many glistening eyes that
rested in admiration upon the faultless countenance
of the youthful Saxon, there was one pair gleaming
forth from beneath the snowy brow of the loveliest
maiden in tho hall, which told of ardent, instanta
neous aflectioti, of love not to ho rebuked nor stifled
with impunity. Yes, the fair daughter of the ru
ler of the realm, the beautiful Matilda, she whom
we huve seen upon the battlements ol her fa-
titer’s towers, listening with cold and chilling np.
nthv, lo tho fierce and impassioned words thut
burned upon the lips of her youthful suitor, who lit.
lie dreamed then, of the future lilo that destiny had
worked out for him, had at last been made to feci
that tumult in her own heart, which she had caused
iu those of others.
By her side still tarried the hopeless lover, and
he marked, that suddenly, instead ol the passionless
ye? friendly words that she bestowed upon him, no
answers were returned to his reiterated questions.
Silent she sat, gazing fixedly at some object in the
room, and following with his eyes, tho direction of
her glance, they encountered' the smiling face of
Birthtric Shuw. His heart instantly recoiled, for,
with that single look, lie comprehended all, and
was convinced that ull his eHurts were worse than
useless. With a deep drawn sigh, he turned away,
unnoticed by the idol of his allections, und sought,
by plunging deeply into the pleasures of tho hour,
to drive from his mind the remembrance of the
thorn that rankled there. Vain hope!
One, two, three weeks—a month, passed away,
while the young envoy was detained at the court
of Flanders, and most assiduously did the fair Ma-
tilda endeavor lo&Uuch him ui herself, during the
hours thut he could spare from the business of his
mission, and draw into an acknowledgment that
the passion which she hut too keenly felt within her
own bosom, was reciprocated by him. But with
out avail ! Most true, ho seemed to linger around
her us much as possible, to anticipate all her wish
es, 8 rve her with the most devoted fidelity, and
become, in fact. Iter only companion. But no lire
ofiove kindled in his It art, or shot its flickering
flume through his sparkling eyes ; no lispjof fond
or tender atlectiou, had ho suffered to escape his
lips, and neither word nor action evinced that
lie regarded her any morn than as a lovely and
fascinating woman, und an agreehle companion
with whom to while away the passing hours.
Thus did mutters progress with the two—sholov.

A Lady’s dercace of Coquetry.
BY MRS TORRE HOME, (AN ENGLISH LADY.)
Coquetry indeed, according to my acceptation of
the term, is a strong and universal desire to charm
and captivate perfectly distinct from our English
exclusive mode of flirting. Coquetry leads a wo-
to be graceful and amiable with her femulc
friends, winning in her manners to all around tier,
und so fond of elegance and refinement, that site
would be as much shocked to appear in tho solitude
of her chamber in an untidy peignor, or ill shaped
slippers, as to be ill.dressed in the most brilliant
bull roni. A coquette never flirts ; she is too well
bred to be exclusive* und has loo much tact to
wound the feelings Jr many to gratify the vanity of
one. She ima a desire ro please which is uni-
versal ; and if l were to choose an emblem for co*
quo try, l should (in contradiction to tho remark
above quoted) select the flower most lavish of sweet
and profuse of blossom—tho lilac, for instance, that
loads the air with perfume, or the isuy that decor-
utes every hedge.
It is the coquetry of the women that gives the
charm to French society, and is the cause of thut
indescribable grace and sweetness of manner
which uccompunies them in the most advanced age,
and even to the gruve. So far from considering
this us injurious to the morality of women, 1 am
convinced both the manners and morals of Eng
land would be improved if we more resembled our
lair neighbors in their universal desire to please
—u desire which extends itself through all the re-
lutioms of fife, uud includes in the immensity of its
range, husbands, children, friends, and even inferi-
and servants. The marriages with actresses,
dancers, and women of bad character, which utc so
frequent in England, and are comparatively tin.
known in France, where the women of society
possess ull the graces and attractions that can
uptivute and tix the a fleet ion 9, and has, therefore,
nothing lo fear fium unworthy rivals. Nor docs
she relax after, vicipry ; she wisely continues to
cultivate those powers which first commanded ad-
miration. She gains experience from mature years
and therefore see3 them, so far from diminishing
her attractions, only confirming and increasing
them, teaching her to rivot the chains she wore in
curly youth, und t# assert her graceful empire to
the iast; she has no fear of losing the captive site
bus once enthralled, like Horace’s Phyllis—
“(irutiv tenet comped® viuctum.”
I look upon coquetry us a very safe and excellent
ingredient iu woman’s character. It is like the
flumes of Vesuvius, which do but little harm, and
the beautiful compagno of Naples, from being
destroyed by earthquakes. A coquette has no
knowledge of the nionatnunia of passion ; tho liv
ing on one thought, which is tho symptom and
danger of wotmuito love. Site is always iu good
humor, agreeable und self-possessed, and if her
love ol admiration sometimes exposes her to ecu.
sine, u. least it calls for no sacrifice in herself, and
uwnkens no remorse in others. Cun we say tho
same oi lovu ?
Tho effect of coquetry in woman, where it is
so general as to give a tone to*all social intercourse
is certainly beneficial to man. Rousseau suvs :
‘•II cstcouveuue eti France q,u’ un liommo no relu-
sere riun u uucune femme fut ee memo la siono ; v
and wo can well imagine how all the bitterness and
asperity of temper, which is the death nt hive, the
cure of marriage and the destruction of friendship,
must be lessened iu a country where a constant do-
siretop/ouse on one side is met on the other by
that polite and gentle gallantry, which has become
the universal language iu which woman, ut every
age, is addressed. Perhaps this courtesy is not
really valuable ; certainly not so precious ns true
and undivided uflcction, but love is an ingot of the
purest metal mid can ho given hut to one; when
beaten out into the golden leaf of coquetry, it covers
n large space, brightens und glitters on a thousand
objects, and is of every day use.
The severity with which men speak of coquetry
appears tome unjust and ungrateful. If a woman
has beauty or merit, why should they be diminish

pily without any attractions, should she not rather
be encouraged in the efforts she makes to supply,

liras dt nice) her ? Shw may not indeed, be qualified
t<» practice the glance of command, or the frown
ol prohibition, to receive the tribute of sighs and
praises, or be soothed with the gentle murmurs of
amorous timidity ; but still she may he a coquette,
graceful in her manners, elegant in her dress;

miis that her small battery of charms should make
as imposing a display as possible. Tho general
