instantly quitted the house, closely follow ed
by the stranger. With hasty stepsshe made
a passage through the crowd’ ut.‘- the door,
crossed the pasco, and got into a volume and
drove off: The stranger jumped? into anoth-
er and directed the calesuro (driver) to follow
the other. This was no easy matter, for the
pasco was filled with vo'antes and people on
loo_t,and the night was quite dark. Through
the dark and narrow streets of the city they
dashed on for some time. At length the
calesiiro stopped, and the stranger jumped
out to see_i_f he had followed the right car-
.-ftagt’. His mortification was great on find-

SEQUEL.
VVc said the ring given by Leanor,on
the night of the Mai.-querzide Ball at the
Tacon Theatre of Habana, was the only
clue lf]L’Sl.l'ttl'lg€l' from the Northland had
“for the identity of the forsaken but passion-
ate Clallgfllt r of Castile " This was not
strictly the case, for on that incinorable night
she ivoreabracelet of a peculiar fashion,
the piincipail ornament of which was an on-
common largo opal, that caught and refract-
ed all the gradations of color from the bril-
liant lights of the chandeliers, and which
recall:-d to the mind of the stranger the
beautiful lines of the Countess of Blessing-
ton:
“This wondrous gem
Looks as though sotne strange influence it had won
From the bright skies—for every riiiiibbw hue
Shoots quivering tlim’ its depths in cbangeful gleams,
Like the wild liglitiiiiigs ofa summer eve.”
Be-sid-s this he had the well remembered
tones of that SW(‘.(-'l. voice which had so fiisci-'
nated him on their first interview. These
were slight tr L-es it is true, but could they
be made available, would serve as powerful
aiixiltaries for her identity. But how were
they to be made so. in a strange city with its
two hundred. thousand iiihabitants. was a
question t‘8Sl€|' asked than answered. But
.iCCl(lt'rll often aids more in unraveling mys-
tercs than any systematic efforts possibly
could; at least it was so in this case, and
that is sufficient for our purpose. If the
gentle reader will be kind enough to extend
to us a few moments indulgence, we will
tell how the Northerner found out the resi-
dence of Leanor, and what then came to
pass!
The cons'itution of society as it exists
here, in Cuba. is widely different. Here
the sexes mingle freely, and ll')t‘I'6 is but little
Cll{’Cl( upon the heart’s afllctions, save that
imposed by anxious maninias and more care‘-
ful pzipas, in their dt"Slf8 to secure what the
world is pleased to call a ‘desirable match’
for their daughters, without ever consulting
the feelings of those who are most interest:-d
and whose hxppincss for life will depend
upon their fuzure husbands. Thank heaven.
this influence, although often l;rougbt to beat‘
upon their daughters. is rarely successful;
yet we would advise those who arethrowing
obstacles in the may of their daughters, in
the free exercise of their affrction. to look
wt-ll into their own l1earts—-if hearts they
have-—and see if, in their desire to secure
their daughters a good match in a worldly
pg-.ipt of view, they do not barti-r away for a
messigof pollage the future happiness of those
the-y.,=_hold most dear. _\
ln’ I-lubana parental tyranny is carried to
much greater lengths, a gentleman being

in safety, and made directly for the Calla of:
la Muralla, but found nothing tl.ei'e to grati-
fy his curiosity, for the blinds were closed,
the music hushed, and there were no signs
of life within. Sad and disappointed, he
turned his steps homeivard; but the next
evening found him again in front of the
house where he had heard music the previ-
ous day. -The blinds were still closed, and
he stepped into a shop opposite to enquire to
whom the house belonged. There he learn.
ed that the Conde de F resided there;
but that he was then absent in Spain. This
was all the information be coiild get, but
while he was loitering about the shop he
heard the notes of the guitar, accompanied
by the same soft, musical voice that he had
heard the day before. Vl’hen the song was
finished, the curtains were partly drawn aside
and he saw nearly in front of the window a
lady bolstered up in a large easy cbair.—
Her back was partly turned to the window,
but he could see that she held in her hand a
guitar. He crossed the street to see if he
could catch a glimpse of her features. As
he did so, she raised her band to the keys of
the instrument. and the light fell upon the
well reinembercd opal bracelet of the long

Here was a discovery, but how was he to
avail himself of it ? His first impulse was to
speak to her, but on the second thought he
saw that that would defeat his objcct. Un-
drcided what course to pursue. he took a
ttirn around a square to collect his excited
thoughts. \Vbcn he returnid the blinds
were closed and all was again hushed. Af-
ter waiting for somttime,and no one ap-
pearing, he slowly we-ntlcd his way to his
hotel, reflecting upon the strange chance
that had again thrown in his nay one whom
he had met. under the most extraordinary
circumstance, but who had parted as strange-
ly as they met.
The next day. and the next, and for sever-
al days thereafter, he passed the} house of
LEANOR several times, but he saw or heard
up‘ ' ing more of her. He inquired of the
persons opposite, but they could tell him
nothing only that they had heard the family
had embarked on board a vessel. Thiswas
all they knew about it, and of course could
tell him nothing more. He went home pro-
voked with himselfand all the world beside.
at thus losing, as be thought, all traces of
one in whose fate he began to fe-clan intense
interest. In a few days he was to quit Ha-
vana, probably for ever, and he was angry
with himself for not making himself known
to the object of hissearcb, when he saw her
at the window. But it was noiv too latc,and
he had to make the best of it.
The next morning on taking up, the ‘Di-

It had arrived the day previous, and the
passengers had all gone on shore; but it did
not take our friend long to trace them out,
and in less than half a day after his arrival
he was again acquainted with the residence
of his Ciistilian maid! This done be de-
