‘ The‘ next mor'ni_ng he was in the garden,
.. which laid below tho window of Estevan;
-he had worked there an’ h‘u"ndrcd tinics"vvn:n- -
verity of their duties, wore accustomodtto
out suspecting lie was-so near his unfortu-
‘ hate master. The gardener used to ‘see him
thero, and never interfered with any work
that he did 3 he know that father Juan was
his pr'otécfor, and that‘ was enough. The"
gardener was a man of about sixty, and ex-
travngantly fond of brandy, and Zamora
took care that he should not want for his fa-=
voritc liquor. Ho had, by his good natured
attentions, rendcrcd himself equally agreea-
ablc to the wife, so that Zamora was like the
«master of the lionse. It was necessary to
pass through this house in order to enter the
garden from the street, into which the out-
er door opened. None b'ut’th’e persons be-
longing to the Inquisition were permitted to
énterithcre. The confidence of the garden-
er, the good will of his wife, and the liberty
which was necessary for the performance of
his work, had enabled Zamora to obtain a
key of their door. By day or by night, at
any hour that beplcascd, he could enter the
garden unnoticed, and this had been the case
almost ever since he had been in the house.
Upon that day be employed himself‘ in as.-
ccrtaining which of tho windows that o_-
pened into the garden, belonged to the dun-
geon of his master; he had taken care to
count thcnmnbcr of doors which opened in-
to the gallery, and by reckoning the same’
number of windows, he flattered himself that
ho had ascertained the right one. How-
ever to remove all ‘doubt, he took ‘a spade,
and pretending to dress some beds, of flow-
ers, he whistled a plaintive air, which is well
known to the inhabitants of Mexico. _.He
» was not mistaken ; by reason of the silence
which reigns in the lnquisition, _ the tone
rca_cbcd»tbc ear of Estcvan, who immediate-
ly made signal, by coughing within, that ho
was sensible of the presence l of his faithful
servant. .
Secure on this point, Zamora devoted
him elf for some days to assist the servants,
whose business it was. to convey their food
to the prisoners, in the morning and evening.
They at length became so used to his assist-
ance, that they fell into the habit of calling
him when this duty was to be performed.-k
It was commonly done at noon and at six o’-
clock in tho cveninc. Some of the guards
_ always ‘attended the servants, butwbatcvcr

were therefore likely to spend their niglitsfin
more profound repose. ' The night-then-was
long and -dark, and Zamora took care to
choose atime when there was no moon.---.
On the night which preceded the eve of christ-
mas ‘day, Zamora cast into his mastcr’s cell
a third billet. you are ready, toamorrow,
after‘ dinner, leave some wine in your bottle.
The answer that he wished for was returned ;
this was on Christmas cvc. Upon the day of
this festival, Zamora enjoyed a still greater
facility of correspondence; at the hour of
distributing their supper to the prisoners,
and the alcaide were still at church. Zamo-
ra thrcw in his fourth and last billet-—To

they separated, and in half ‘an hour they
were in a profound sleep. The alcaide then‘
said to Zamora '“ every body is asleep, -:as
you perceive, thcrc‘arc no ‘rounds to go to
night, I will go and spend a few hours with
donna Jocintha,”,(hi’s mistress.) I‘ Well,”
replied Zamora, “ I have promised to sup
with the gardener and his wife, and if you
desired the guard to watch well; they prom-
isedas usual, and in half an hour they were
as sound asleep as any other person. When
the principal fails in his duty, it seldom bap-
pens that the subulterns arc uponthc alert.——-
Zamora and the alcaidc thcn.wen:t out, and
each-repaired to the’ place of his appoint-
ment. Zamora supped with tho gardener
and his wife ,- be bad supplied himself with
excellent Wino; joy, laughter andsongs,
heightened the pleasure of tbercpast, bum-
pcr followed bumper, and at eleven o_’cloc‘k
the gardener leaned snoring on the table,-
Tbc wife soon followed her lord’s example,
and Zamora was left alone. ‘ _ ~ _ _
The/clock now struck twclvo; Zamora
extinguished the candles, ‘and on tiptoc de-
sccdcd the stairs.‘ Hccntered ___t__he garden 5

he had concealed ‘beneath a.bcd of flower ,* of
which he ‘alonefhad tliodaro, under tbo_Zre-
tence of cultivating it for fatlier Juan Ll ‘ria.
After some search he found it';'bc lit‘: ‘to

please we will go out together. The alcaido; --
in”‘a nIo‘inoii't‘al‘tcr, he saw descend" a fhincord
which be] liadconveycd to Estevan; be seizi
ed it, fastened it to his ladder, and then gave
it a gentle pull.’ . With the utmost extacy he
saw the ladder ascend ; the agitation, which
he endured, was now ‘most dreadful. Este-
van . appeared a; and a‘ moment-more‘ gave
‘him to the cxtatic embrace of » the delighted:
Zamora; They flow across the ‘garden, on-_
tered the street, and wore soon at a- distance
fromtbis dreadful‘ place. Zamora, unable
"to speak’, again strabxcd his master to his
heart, the tears bedcwed both their checks,
ant] spoke with an oloqucnfce which it is not
in’ la"ngn‘age”to,o'xpross. “ Come,” at length
cried Zamora”, ‘_¢ _thanks to the Father of all
mercies, we are safe.” 'l‘hcy‘wcre then as-
bout to enter the street which was adjacent
to the garden of the consul, when a man ap-
peared, ‘ It was the alcaide. Oh, heavens,
what astonishment ! .‘*_ Is this you,-Zamora 2”‘
said he‘; ’“ "and this man, surely I, know his
face ?” 7_I‘he_.moment was dreadful: it was
_the, decisive one. Zamora ' seized the arm
‘-of the-alcaide,‘ and put a’ pistol to his breast :
"“ If you speak,” said ‘lie’, 6‘ death; if you
are silent, a thousand francs.” “‘ Neither,”
said»-tlic alcaide, '5‘ you’ fly,‘ I perccive,'let
“me” follow you, that is all I wish.” Zamora;
lresitated. “Fear nothing,” added the"a1-.y
caide, ‘C6 I have lost every thing’; J ocintha
was false, she is no mars; Lisbon is no place
for me.” '5“ Come,” said Zamora, ‘.’.l.‘he

had their liberty secure in the _a'syIum of his

Since, then, there is a "time when the youthful
must cease to be young, and the beautiful to ex‘-
cite admiration, to learn how to grow old graceful-
ly, is, perhaps, one of the rarest and most valua-
ble acts that can be taught to women. And, it
must he confessed, it is a most severe trial for
those womeli to be called to lay down beauty, who
have nothing else to take up. It is for this sober
season of life, that education should lay up its
richest resources.’ However disregarded they

educate our daughters exclusively for the tran- _
