Of twice ten thousand hrokeu surges sailed
High o'er the dim seen laud. The startled gull,

stood upon his forehead, clammy and thick

pttlso bounded with a flickering irregulntily.atid
as the moments passed rapidly to llto contple*
lion of the intorvai between tho preparation end
the deed, the nerves of the base creature grow
more and more unsteady and unstrung. The
delay was not great, The door of the bohio
opened end tho ruddy gleams of the light from
within fell umoug tho leaves and upon tho path
along which a moment after ho bchdld hisltur
rying victim. A thousand darting lights gather
ed before his eyes at the eatne instant, and lie
felt that any struggle between tho murderer and
Vasco Nunez would find him utterly incapable
of giving tho least help to his emissary. His
• roug h faded him with Ilia sight, llto point of
his sword sunk in the sand at his feet and he
sank forwatd with a stifled respiration, for sup
port upon the tree behind which he had boon
concealed.
Meanwhile tho same light streaming from tbs
cottage which had warned Gnrabito of the np»
preach of his enemy, announced to tho matador
to put himself in readiness for his victim. This
warning had no such effect upon the assassin
as upon his principal. It was with him a slight
matter of business and frequent employment,
and a menial constitution of natural hard hood,
had steeled him to a cool, deliberate indiffence
of mood, which preserved him from every
exciting emotion, Avhoiher of hostility or of
fear.
When he saw the figure of Vasco Nunez
along the path, he passed one arm entirely
round the trunk of the tree behind which lie
*» 00 i i" u * it not only an impenetrable
shield for tho protection of his breast, but a sort
of pivot upon which his body might revolvo at
pleasure. His right hand, grasping the dagger,
was tree to net upon any part of the narrow
passage which remained between tho banvnn
and tho grove opposite, which a thick under*
growth of shrubs and pruned palmetto*.** render*
ed almost impenetrable, and made it almost ab.
solutcly necessary that the little pathway should
bi pursued by the footman uudnr any cireuin*
stances. No spot could have been better chosen
for the wi rk of the aicusdu; and the matador
regarded the a flair wfli ns little doubt of the re

The Damsel of Darien — Extract of e new no,
▼cl by Mr. Simms, author of ‘The Youiusce,

The dteadfu! scream which sho heard wsa
one of agony indeed, and of u thrilling dam

I us leave her, therefore, and return to the
place where we left the treacherous and coward
Jy Garabito, waiting ill equal terror and impair

risking life. After remaining some time absent.
Ortada returned in some buiry to nis employer,
having in the meanwhile, succeeded in ouuiumg
n glance at tho greater partofihe scene between
Vasco Nunez and the woman whom he sought
which we havejiitldescribed.
‘Dispose yourself, seucr.he will be here anon
were the words of the professional assassin.
‘Yon have seen him, OrUdu/’ demanded Ga.
rabito.
'All. that I have, and seen him. too, nearly
low to earth os my cross shall bring biui.’
‘How! what mean yott»’
•He knelt to the proud senora, ami got her
foot instead of her hand. Wert* the man not
blind as all your silly lover# .ire who run after wo,
tnon, he mu3t have seen the scorn in her eyos,
, evon the words of her mouth did not fill hi# ear*
; Were a cavalier wise, the business of loveuiia*
king would always fall on the senorus; they need
us uioro than we need them, a d it is agaiust i
turn and reason that tho strong should Dow
and supplicate the weak. The thing will „„
changed lorao dav.and, indeed, l know not that
it is not already changing, seiior. I know some
damsels whodn nothing from night to nwrunia
but look after the men; and diablo, had they
strength enough, wuuld seize, in spito uf one's
teeth, upon every good looking fellow they
meiL I have been in some danger more thuu

‘And the senora had refused Vasco Nunez

•he made to tile when we spoke together lust»
‘What! thou tlunkest thy own chance better
wnb this harpyV replied the plain spokon mata-
dor, as he inferred from the self complacent
* manner ofthe other's remark, that his vanity was
crowing higher than his heud, according to tho
Indian proverb.—• But thou blindest thyseir
■enor, even like Vasco Nunez. This woman
hath no care for one man more thin auoth» r
only so far as he may help to give her plu'ce
above the other mail devourers of her sox. She
is one ofukind, souot, uud would freely marry
your poor matador, Ortudo, to morrow, if |,e
could show her that the power was in him to
give her place in the coiemoiiiul higher than
Donna Inez or the Sonora Aln'gar no, or any
other damsel who hath cocked her nose against
the heavens when the biog was the common
business. A tossofacastefluuo with thee, auiiur,
that thou gottest on utisvver, from tbis proud
woman like that of tho Sunor Vasco.’
Tho voui y of Garabito was annoyed by the
bluntneas of the matador, but tho tnomuiit’ was
not one for controversy.
•We mini be away uml prepare ourselves,

other current funds, or tu any aniunut ’llto
Central Dank may propose. The internal
of the citizens of Georgia, forbids the
jection of such proposition, because it will „„
able lire Stale promptly to pay her liabilities
mid curry on her work, and euaklo ilia psonlo
