but alight remark. Exquisitely lovely, with nn air and expression not exactly of melancholy, but of that calm pensive* ness which her life and situation were so well calculated Co give, she stood by the wall of the convent garden, partly leaning upon a worn atone table which had much the character of an ancient tomb, partly resting against & high gothic cross which rose from the low wall of the gap deb, and marked out—to the eyes of those who travelled the road that ran at the bottom of the deep bank below—lho abode of thosbwbo, dedicating themselves to a life of religious solitude, found peace or discontent according to the feeling of their own hearts. Her whole person was lull of loveliness, her whole attitude replete with grace. Her hands Tested crossed on a book, which she had taken to while away the lime, her head was slightly bent for* ward, and her eyes gazed upon the distant prospect—the distant prospect always mom striking, because more aided by fancy than that which is near;.and the warm loveliness-of her complexion, —and with the white drapery in which she was clothed, contrasted beautifully with the cold grey stone and yellow lichens of the ancient cross and table of stone.

even Ibe anticipation of standing Ly llw death bed of. her'uncle could account for. Gloomy then and desponding, dissppoin* ted and anxious, Mary entered the carriage, asking herself what was to wt her fata when her undo should be no more. The night was dark and stormy; the dull winds blew and whistled along the road, and for about half a mile not a word was spoken by either Mary or her companion, * At length however the lady .'said, *'I have been commanded to inforth yoor Highness as soon as we were actually on the way, that it will be nccccaMry foryon to prepare your mind for a great change of condition., Tho Duke is, as yon know, atlhe pointot death.' The Duke.of No* vara is next licir to the coronet to ManUu, and it is absolutely necessary that all claims to this duchy and Montfcrral should centrein one race, it has been been determined that your Bigness shonld give your hand to theyouLg Buko of Rhefel, son of the Duke ot Nevcnu.

So well and wisely bad her unknown counsellor hitherto advised her. that Mary followed his directions in this also to the letter. She showed no repugnance, but bending down her head 4dth the ingenuous blush of modesty upon her cheek, she replied as. had been dictated. The Duke seemed pleased, perhaps it was more than he expected, and he replied with sanguine expectation that his divorce would not now be long delayed, after which a dispensation would be easily obtained.— There was bnt one thing which Mary besought him earnestly to giant, which was, that she might return on the morrow to the convent where she had passed her early days.

"Oh, yon might claim far hotter boons than that,’* cried Mary eagerly. ' ."Well, then, it shall,be so," he said, "one kiss of those sweet lipid—Bnt now. bethink you. Lady, how you will'meet your undo. If, as 1 am suie be will, he offers, contrary to God’s law, to make bis brother's-child his wife, bo wise, and drive not his passionate ‘mind to frenzy.

But lo! they seek, you; I must away! Contrive some short delay, that ! may reach the point of danger first. To morrow. at this hour, if yoa hove returned, I will seek you heie." Thus saying the stranger turned and left her, and in a few minutes tlio servants sought her, saying that the carnage was ready. The directions, of the stranger she followed implicitly,, trusting with the confidence of imehaslised youth,- She 'detained the carriage for a few minutes, and then ordered the coachman to drive as the had been instructed. Tho Italian looted at her in sulky silence, and went on as if intending to obey; but when the vehicle reached the turning of the road, -he'was evidently about to pnruie his way which had been forbidden. Mary of Mantua, however, stepped the carriage, and trying to raise her gentle voice.into the sharp tone of displeasure, asked, how he dared to disub'ev. ■■ . ; ;

The Duke consented; but while ho. spoke the old attendant, who had ever remained attached to her, was admitted by a page, and bending low, he related to the Duke the adventure which had befallen them on the way, and. commented bitterly on the treachery of their driver. Tho Dnke sent for bis secretary and whispered a word in his ear; and as be was leading Mary to the ball where supper awaited them, there came through the windows the sound of a loud volley and one shrill piercing cry, The Duka moved gracefully on by her hide without a change of countenance; but Mary turned deadly pale, and on the following morning another servant drove the vehicle.that contained her, hack to the convent. .

As she thus stood and gazed, she heard a voice not far distant say;. “lady!".in' a low and gentle tone.

SAVES, ESQ. • noble Hoose of Gonzaga/ 1 Bays an Italian Writer, in tho. year 1627, "had declined from its former splendor, and, forgetful of ;its ancient valorand wisdom, had given itself to luxury and intern* perance." Three brptlrtit had successive: ly filled the ducal chair, Francesco, Fcr> Jinan Jo, and Vincenzo, and each had distinguished himself .not by restoring any vigor to a decaying line, but by introducing new,modes and forms'of vice. Tho first of [these brothers, Francesco, had left one child by a neglected and injured wife; butthat child was a daughter, in her mere infancy when her 1 father died; and while the undoubted law bestowed the. Duchy of Mantua on the- brother of the deceased prince, the arm .of power gave him also the Duchy of Montfiirfat, which the lawyers of,-Italy held to belong of her own right, to jM ary of Mantna, Under tbe guardisnsliip of her undid Ferdinand,' she rose toward; womanhood, acquiring naw'gracis injl ■ accomplishments every boor, bnt rarely suffered to appear at bis court, and kept ’carefully' fronrilha eyes' and tongues of- all who might he captivated hy her beanty, or inform her of her rights. At lengtbi however, in the year, 1626. the consequences of vices and folties.car ried Ferdinand childless to the grave, and the last male of the race, Vincenzo, bound his brow with the dncal wrfeath of Mantan. Scarcely had be taken possession of the Dukedom, when Mary received a summons to appear in hts presence, and hastened to obey. . f : She was at the time ip the convent of —7—, a few miles from the city of Mantan, in which she had been educated, and usually resided; V No stale-no display, marked out the Princess from among the nans; and it was* only a greater degree of liberty, a different dress, and the practice of the various accomplishments which immed the relief of her solitary life, that distinguished tbe fair young Duchess pf the Montfcrfat from her cloistered companions, Twq servants, indeed, were allowed to her; the maid who had. attended upon her Troid her youth, and tbe good man who had beCp ordinary ecuytr to her inotlri, cr. She had mules, too, to take the fresh air, beyond! the limits of the convent garden, so tbafher lifowaseasy, if not happy; and feeling no passions, knowing no joys, beyond the simple ones ot her condition, she sought not to change a fate so calm, amidst that sea of troubles, the distant roaring ot whose waves, sho heard even in her tranquil solitude. It was evening when sbb received the summons to attend open the new Duke, and her heart boat somewhat quickly, for many a dark tale had been tdld within tbe convent walls, of the crimes and faults, of Vincenzo of. Gonzaga, tho faithless priest, tbe married cardinal.—It was evening, and m the antnnm bnt yet warm and bright, with glowing skies and rich verdure, and grapes swinging from tree to tree, ready for tho basket of tbs husbandary stood in tbe convent the carriage which was I'-yj Mantan, as fair and beau* JKwaa spread put before her v as borrowed from that land of sunshine. Wide extended boneatb her. view, fay tho fair Man loan plains to warns Verona—plains and scogso which never quilled tho memory of tho great Roman' poet, though ho abandoned his birth-placo for more southern lands—and there bathed in purple light with eveiy bine shadow, mingled with liquid gold, I appeared tho gentlo sweeps and soft lines [of trees and manifold streams, with'hire land there the feudal castle crowning an eminence, or the tower of some village j church rising np out of tho dell.

before beheld, white her heart was hat too surely given to another, overpowed her for. if few minutes: bat then she rccollcled all thejcsolutioQ and coo rage of her race; she protested against ' the cruelty and in* justice of the act which her undo proposed to commit, end solemnly declared that nothing should indneo her’ to yield her band in such indecent haste to an utter stranger. The. lady who accompanied liter, heard alt with that chilling coldness which is far more dispiriting 'than actual oppositipn, and merely said, "That she feared her Highness would find .herself forced to obey.*' ■ ■

It was about noon .when she arrived, and the busy nans surrounded her like a swarm of bees. They were all eager to hear tidings from without, bnt they were soon satisfied; and nt the same evening hour at which on tho day- before she had watched the fair prospect of the Mantuan plains, she again stood by the table'of stone in the convent garden, and the stranger was by her side. . She thanked hipi eagerly and often, and gazed upon the bright and glowing countenance that gazed with tender admiration upon her again. . "Have my rewardT* ihe sAill; Mary replied not. but cast down her eyes with a warm blush. The ‘stranger bent over her; and with the tenderness of love, chastened by respect, be pressed his lips upon hers. • ‘ • **3Ury,*' ha said, ''Mary,-1'will win ■thee or die.’ Three more evenings willT stand by yon old shrine in the dear hope of seeing yon again; and ihea.my footeleps must wander from thee far.

But Mary .thought not so: feelings that she had never known. beforc were busily possessing -themselves of her heart, and though to feel' them .there, made her thrill with something like, apprehension - , yet they were so sweet she would do nothing to banish them.. She lingered with him long and ho with her, and for three nights more they met and passed a happy hour, gilded with The dawning . brightness of young love.

Mary had recourse to silence, and though Ikr heart was sad and heavy, it remained firm, aml,8he aaid to herwlf, '‘They can hot kill roe—that (hoy will not do—and if they do, belter so die." Once more then she uassejJ the manifold gates'and drawbridges, and entered what sho felt to be; for her, one vast dark prison; but she thpngbt of him she loved, and though she called.

. Hc.Ieft her on the third with a painful ami adxious farewell; and Mary now felt how lonely was her state of being. The hours flew* heavily, the days rolled on in care /and anxiety—bat she forgot not the absent; and every tumor that aba heard ofj movements at the coart of Rome rcgardiog hor-uncle’s divorce, made her heart sick- But Vincenzo himself seem* arlto press .matters .bat feebly, and * when at length the appalling,newsireached her that be was free, .be ; showed ;nb inclination to profit by that freedom) She then heard he was sick—sick even to'the gates of death, and there wore rnnsors of arm* ing in Guaslalla,, and:of Austrian forces moving to take possession of Mantua on the Duke’s decease, or'of France sending armies to secure it fortho boose of Ncyers, Then came tidings of . messengers hurry, ing to and fro between Paris and Mantna and Romo, and so went by the time till the three months ■ bad'passed -over, and then, though the air, was wintry, Mary eagerly harried forth and stood by the table of stone as the sim was sinking to repose,. .She gazed-. over the;.Mantuan plain; but no one was eeehr she listened; but beard - not tba voice whose memory had cheered her solitude. The son sank and all was darkness.

She hod not; seen the Duke Vincehzo for many years; and had long forgotten him, so that imagination, drew her own sketch from the ntm ore and stories of the day. It was now twilight, and she was ushered up the; long Bights of marble itairs—afterwards destroyed in-lho cruel sacking of the city—and then into a cabinet. whore she remembered h&viDelayed in the days of. her childhood when her father was living and Duke of Mantau. It now seemed smaller but more gloomy, though it was well lighted, and on the opposite side sat one whose appearance at onco marked out the Prince,; He rote and advanced towards her as diflefent a being as it , was ..possible to conceive,, from. all. she had previously fancied. Tall, grace . ini, handtiome, though in bis decline, and though sickness—perhaps vice—had worn all the rosy lines of youth away, and left nothing but the shadow of beauty behind, his appearance was certainly far more prepossessing than Mary of Mantauhad expected. Nevertheless, there was something in the expression of his counten-ance-—something in tho fixed and criticising gaze with which ho looked open the lovely creature before him, that made an involuntary shudder pass over bar frame; and when bo took her by tho hand, and, as her uncle, kissed her cheek, the warm blood rose up in it, and she thought of the warning she had received and of him who had given it. The Dako was not long ere he spoke upon that theme which the most dreaded to hear; bnt he spoke nothin .the' terms which might have been most painful to her. He treated it bpt db a matter of

"I know him not,” cried M at y» *Uh a look of horror. "Once, only once, have I seen his dark and lowering face, but I have heard enough to make me abhor the ground that bears him.” 1 The stranger made no comment, bnt went on, "the third is Charles, Duke of Rhetel.” "An alien to our race and the son of my father’s enemy!” cxclaimed.Mnry. The stranger smiled, apparently well pleased. "These are three Princes.” he said "hut what say you, Lady, if a simple gentleman of noble birth, and of some renown —against these three princess, fate, fortune, and all tho world to boot—were to enter the lists for that fair hand.”

"He were a bold man!” answered Mary, with a deep blast. "Thank God! he is a bold man,” replied the stranger, "bot to my more'prcssing task, for I tee the carriage in nearly ready.

With a heart sad and depressed she was taking her way back to the convent when the bell at the gale rnng, and an immediate summons was given her to proceed to Mantua in one of the Duke's carriages with all.spaad, to bear the last injunctions of her dying uncle.
