Tho nn- testral old country sent of the puissant and fumed Cuur.t Baldwin, ruler ol the province, was illumina ted with thousands of brilliant lights and tapers, ^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. ing with all the concentrated fierceness and emo tion oi ardent love, lie, unconscious thut he hud ex cited any feelings but tho>o which absence, now speedily approaching, could easily nflucc.

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 ed. or porhupa entirely destroyed in the eyes of those she m ist desires lo please, because her do. sire is apparent? If. on tho eoiurary, she is unhap pily without any attractions, should she not rather be encouraged in the efforts she makes to supply, bv evcry art of manner, those charms which nntuio 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; ci en fill iu her temper, and good-humoredly uiix- miis that her small battery of charms should make as imposing a display as possible. Tho general enj »\mei t of society must he increased by her in * noeont exertions to please, nor need we doubt they win obtain their rewind.
