A TALE.

Woman's Revenge. PART I. Nooe excelled, and few equalled, on thecoast of Spain the beauty of Lady Enna; nor ever did trner knight couch lance in defence of the wall of old Castile, and in honor of its peerless dames, than her manly husband, Ludovick, They seemed formed to command that homage which honor, love, and virtue ever do; on her fair face one might perceive the kind, beneficeut heart that throbbed within her breast; and in his bold and towering front might be distinguished the manly, upright virtue that characterized his actions. He was a warrior of noble frame and distinguished prowess; invincible alike in the gayer loumay or more deadly battle; a scourge alike to the wicked and to the enemies of his country: the low born quailed beneath his eye, while the nobler fell beneath his arm; the minstrels loved to sing his praise; and many fa.r ladies sighed in envy of the lovely Euna, when they heard in their bowers the goodly praises they bestowed on that puis sant knight. Dut vain might be their sighs, for his heart was devoted to his wife and nought could change his love. Their bridal feast had now gone by a twelve month, and the pompous and formal rejoicings of the first months had subsided into the more touching joys and endearing companionship of tne do wer where they loved !o hold that sweet converse, which minds, elevated by the soft emotion of deep-rooted love, alone can feel On a summer's eve, when the deepening shades told Enna she might expect the return of her husband from the gay and busy court, he: with a heavy step and heavier heart, for the first time since their alliance, entered that love fraught bower. "In the name of all that is dear," cried Enna, casting her arms around his steel cased neck, "tell me, my Ludovick, what has caused this change in thee? What has crossed thee, love?" "Ill news I have for thee, Enna," answered he,s'no longer shall I share thy peaceful bower; na longer shall I listen to your pretty tales of love; no longer kiss thy love inviting lips! No, I must to arms, my country calls me to battle for its tights." "O. short-lived joy," cried Enna; "are we to pirt?" "Again to meet, when on my head fresh honors shall be poured! I go to scourge the Turk, with thousands of brave warriors of Spain, my partners in the strife! Thy husband shall return with the bright trophies of captured banners, and the loud shout of thousands in his train his name upheld to honor spoken with reverence by all Spanish men. And thou halt esteem me, my dear, more worthy of thy love." 'I must not mourn, then," cried Enna; "but while thou art away, days will seem years, and my only joy wil! be some kind messenger to tell rae of thy glorv, and dreams of thv return." Ere a month had passed, the sun gleamed on the bright armor of Count Ludovick, as he issued from Caslile with his band of warriors to join the body of hiscountry'stroops, who were already fighting with the Turk, where we will leave him, hewing his way among the enemy, creating pools of blood and heaps of tawny slaiu.and follow the fortunes of our fair heroine. For nearly twelve months did she keep her self aloof from the world, closeted in retire ment; whole days would she love to sit and contemplate with fervent look ar.d fervent hope aviiuegm 01 ner assent husband; or pour with eagerness over the book he loved to read when together in the bower. But constant tidings of ins utMiin ana satety, his prowess, his success in arras, gave her a confidence which rr.!i, ally wore off a portion of her anxiety; and re-yc-neu iiiviiauoris 10 court, to visit those friends who had been companions of her husband, at last summoned her from seclusion. And how uelighted was she to find that her rhan 7A Ptia, bled her to converse of her husband, and gave niuro irequeiu opportunities of hearing of him. But alas! how soon may the cup of nectar be aasnej iromour lips; how quickly will hapni ess turn to bitterness and despair, especially in tha innocent and unprotected as quickly as the dark, lowering, stormy cloud, wafted by the winds of heaven, doth obscure the miehtv suu. 6 ' It may easily be imagined that the beauty of cuua naa raisea up no Tew admirers, who. when her husband was near, dared not so much as breathe to themselves their very thoughts, but him they had no longer to fear, and tender looks were giving way to speeches; and those wno sought merely to gain a sight of her form as sne passed by, were now struggling to ren ucmct ,um service to araw her attention. For a time the was unconscious how far she had attracted the attention of so manv. for hr mind was superior to evil thought; and want of Knowledge of the world led her to esteem all ovinuousas nerseir in idea and deed. Alas! ao muco tie erred. The truth, however, was too glaring, and could no longer be concealed; and much anxiety and annoyance did it give her. But they were too puny and insignificant to withdraw and seclude her from society; she merely contented herself with casting them to a distance wjtli ogustand wounded pride. it. While matters stood thus, there e.m r, the army Lord Xavier, bearing important desHawM,ra j rump me men king of Spain, praying him to rais fresh troops, and transport them with all speRd to the south. It was at this time when the king was surrounded by his nohles and. RaiaXy of beauteous dames, that lord Xavier h.d the honor of presenting his despatches and had full time to view with admiration the amazing beauty that surrounded uZ' .Jf Wasa,ma' of n Pretensions, save a large and muscular frame, a dark piercine eve ister smile, that bespoke villainy of puroose 8trang forebodingseized the heart of Enuaas She caught his gaze full on her face, and tS with uo concealed expression of intense admiration; her heart seemed frozen within her, as she saw ,n him an old neglected lover, whom nfiht ?v!r.eateJ and desPied; she knew not why, but she dreaded the man more at that moment than sheever had done. The court is at

an end, and as the noblva puss under the plat-

form where the ladies are seated, low Aavier, ashepassea i.aay t-nna, bestowed on ner a ruae, vulgar, out admiring stare, and wnisperea audibly, "would she were mine." She could not mistake the thought, his purpose; she knew well he would resume his old suik I Alas, her trial was at hand. A few hours af-, terwards, he gained admission to het preseuce, ' to give letters that Count Ludovick had intrus-' tea to nun, little suspecting he had placed himself so much in the power of a viper. From mat Hiumciu sne Knew no peace; eacnaaysne was luiiuciueu wun nis vue presence, ana nis vile persuaskns, that brought the blush of . shame into her cheeks, surmounted only by : the glow that conscious pride induced. Strong were his persuasions and forcible, but mildness succeeded by anger and stern determination, j mi iiuuiiig inmsrii rejeciea, ana spurnea as a base creature; threats were alike useless; each day brought fresh fortitude and renewed firm ness to her, and further temoved his chance of success. But the preparations for the departure of lord Xavier were draw ing to a conclusion, and he resolved to make his last attempt, and accordingly threw in the full force of soft persuasion and harsh threat; but he was met with scorn, and repMlJ wit'i disgust. High was his passion bitter his imprecations; his ardent love, or rather lust, seemed turned to the most implacable hatred, and longing for revenge, he rushed from her presence resolved on her destruction. On the same evening, lord Xavier repaired to his Cafe burning with revenge and anxious to catch something wherewith to gratify the will. In this mood he took his seat at a little distance from a party of young nobles, who were so full of mirth and conversation, so much so indeed, that they did notice the entrance of Xavier, to the most of whom he was personal ly known. Their jokes, however, were laid aside, on the name of lady Enna being mentioned by one of the cavaliers. "By my sword" cried one, "she is the loveliest in the land." "My body should pass through fire and water to obtain but one smile from her lovely lips," cried another; and every gallant then gave vent to his feelings in similar tones of enthusiastic admiration, yet somewhat tempered with respect. But while this was passing at their table, the heart of Xavier boat high, as he fancied he saw a favorable mode of tevenge within his grasp; twice did he give up as ungenerous, but the evil spirit was stronger than the good, and conquered; and before his mind could be again changed he was at the table of his friends, and had stripped sweet Enna of her fair name. Some believed; others, looking u to her as a thing too pure to be contaminated believed him not still, doubt oppressed them as tne slander wore a bold front, on which ap pearea stamped the im2e of truth yet a! grievea mat it should be thus. Report soon spreads Enna's name was i tne mouth of all; those that were jealous o ner could take no exception at her actions, an multiply their trifling reminiscence. Poor En na, she was doomed to great suffering; at th same time that the odious aspersion had rearh ed her ears, and had roused her indignation to the highest, her senses were overwhelmed with grief at tidings from the army that her nusoana was either killed or taken prisoner suenuy, out deeply, she sorrowed, that the on 1 i i . , - j "ring biic ijveu was carried irom her, per naps iorever. stm there was hope; he mish ei oe a prisoner, and time might restore him to her arms; the afflicted ever catch at h pe.

O, Ludovick, Ludovick, would thou wert here to avenze thv injured wife but deeds, not words, must now be thought of" ana wun a strength or mind worthy a polit cian, her course was quickly shaped. .ariy on the morrow, when king Philip was uuiuiug counsel wun tne elite or his warriors. Enna forced herself into his presence,, and on oenaea Knee poured rorlh her grievances and accusation against lord Xavier, claiming at once protection of the king, and demanding vengeance. All cried shame on him; but he suu persisted in his affirmation. Shame on ye, shame," cried Enna.

' .auy fima an nopea a nt champion would be provided, and that her knight might be successful. But time wears, and the kinrr in the mit of thousands, sits as judge. Manv a heart beat quick, and quailed with doubt and fear as lord Aavier appeared before the hustings. He was a man of noble bearing, tall and muscular, more fitting to be the champion of truth and honor than of his own villainy. But where is Enna? She is nowhere to be found to name her champion. Twice the trumpet of lord Xavier hath sounded its loud defying blast, and yet no champion appeared; but the third was answered; and a knight clad in bright steel appeared before the crowd, and made his obeisance to the king. He seemed quite a stripling-, but wearing his visor down, his face could not be discerned; on his shield were three maiden roses on a pure silver field. Lord Xavier cast an eye of pity on him, and exclaimed. "Forbeai, rash stripling, thou art no match for me; nice gone wnue tnou hast life." His exclamation was only answered by defiance, and both took their posture for the fight. Twas a fearful scene to see the young and puny knight of the three roses opposed to the

gaunt frame of Xavier, and all trembled for the

lady's cause. But the young knight feared not, and met his antagonist's thundering blows with intrepidity and caution; avoiding them with alacrity whenever he threw his whole! strength into the blow, and catching them on his shield when less heavily dealt; occasionally giving a well directed though not ponderous rut, so much so, indeed, that the lookers on cheered him with praise. Fiercer and fiercer grew lord Xavier, and warmth for the fight was succeeded by passion and race, to be so lone foiled by so puny an antagonist; the shouts of the crowd maddened him, and concentrating nis wnoie strength for one tremendous blow, his sword cut through the air with a force that would hate severed through helmet and skull Df ,he knight of the three roses, had he not inimhlv leaned n-i.l. nil held their htemh in fear nni suspense lord Xavier missed his aim, an(j bit the dust Louder than ever did the crowd shout; and the pale cheek of fear was exchanged for the smile of joy, as the young knight planted his foot on the fallen man, and placed his sword aainst his throat "Confess thy villainy, or die," cried he. "Heaven has conquered," groaned Xavier; "I do confess that I have slandered the lady Enna. She is as pure as thy own silver shield, and may God forgive me I do repent my fault; yet spare my life." "Take it, base wretch," cried he, "and see to whom thou owest thy life." The knight re moved his helmet, and discovered the lovely face of the fair Enna. A few months afterwards, Count Ludovick clasped his beloved wife again to his bosom. He had been a prisoner, and was now'exchanged; but lord Xavier was an outcast from man kind, the finger of scorn was pointed at him as a vile and base slanderer. He fell in the wars of his country, fighting to retrieve his lost honor.
