Touch not the t:up’twill leave a smart,
Which cannot be forgot.
The wine ttiip as it passes round,
Is hailed with jovial cheer,
Bl" 8000. alas. is changed the sound,
The smile becomes a tear.
Too many hearts have felt the sting.

Anil many hearts it yet will Vt ring,
Who heed not its control.
But take the naming ere too late
I And leave llial cup t-face,
And seek a better. happier fate,
Than wine can ere bestow.

The bet/’rage of the rose,
To drink ilie dew that on them glenins,

Then vi liy should ye not drink the same,
And leave the ruby wine;

l0)e I :l1'.lil begin at once.
fwhtle cruising in the West Indies, in the

and I was then ofaii age and tciiiperatiieiit
that prev:-tit-:tl me from ever pcrini.ting such
Uf{|0l‘lllflll.lt.‘S to B:C21pl“. In our occasional
viits to I-Iavanai, I had become il('q'J'rllll’.t‘f.l
with the l.:tiiily of Dan Manuel de Cand-.-la-

eighteenth year, and was an llllgrl creation
ofperlectiou ; one of your quiet, voluptuous.
dreamy Cl'.~}ulul't-S, without one feature or a

lpproved by alteration. Her eye was like

tli re and character. As beautiful, yet in an-
oilier style; more wild, ever gay and laugh-

reatuy ideality of the languid, love sick pc-
I Keats; while Carolina would have suited
yion or Moore for an ocean heroine.
l.We had just anchored in Havana, after
I long cruise to windward, when the carniv-
il season of I839 commenced. Our tund-
hook had scarce had time to settle itself in
lhe ‘ten fathomed hole,’ when 1 rigged my-
self in my bl.‘Sl. claw-hamiiier jacket, a pill!‘

how my heaitjutnps", when Memory over-
hauls her log!) and I was duly installed on
the committee of advice. '
‘Now,’ cried the girls, as I entered the a-
partment, ‘now our party is complete. Sen-
or Buiiiliiie will go, what. costume will you
wear, Don Eduordo ?
The question threw me quite aback. I
had never attended a masquerade ball before
and discipline in vogue at such a place, I
knew not. what ‘rig’ to assume.
‘I think a Guerilla’s di't~ss_would_ become
him very well; it would suit the independ-

‘I will leave the choice of my rig to the

sweet words,’ concluded that I should dress
as their brother had desired.

‘Hallo! what are you cruising after, Sir '2’
said I, as a military looking pl'l’S0nilg€, with
a long black curling moustache, hair to
match, and a lightning eye, strode up within
it fathom of me, sigiiifficantly laying his
gloved hands upon the jeweled hilt of a

wearing the guise of almost every nation on

This the largest and probably the nchesl
theatre in the world, was filled with people.
Every known nation, and some unknown
ones, here found representatives. In one
part the grave dignified and gloomy Turk
sat cross-legged on his- velvet chushion,
scowling through the heavy masses ofsuiolfe
which curled lazily upward from, his inlaid

the back ground, troops of flower girls were
lightly footing the graceful ininuet with the
‘lads ofthe mountain,’ to the music of the

politeness I pushed through the mass of bod-'
ies thatveiled the soiigstrt-ss from my sight.
Ihave ever been an ardent admirer of
beauty and music; it was not strange there-
fore that my feelings should have‘ approach-'
ed adoration, when I found them both com-
binel to a degree almost exceeding perfection
in the stranger before me." I reached the
spot where I had observed the Turk reclin-
ing on his cusliion. ‘
He no longer sat the slave of a'path"y; his
chilboque lay broken at his feet, he had torn
the mask from his face.-. and seemed fully as
far gone as myself. With one knee resting
on the deserted cushion, a guitar in her
band, her long cbon lashes, like a fring o.
glossy silk, veiling her half closed eyes, was
the enchantress whose iiiusic’s spell had fall-
en on all around. On hei' lips trembled thc
last. sad notes of a ‘Liz/mentacione Espanola "
‘Mo-irnftzl, ohl moiirnful' was her tone and
main as she sang the decline of her nation It‘:
the beautiful words of De Vega. Tears
glistened in many an eye around her; sighs
echoed from the rough breasts of hardy met
as well as tender women; all felt the ful’
force of music’s power, when wielded by that
p€l.'l'ltSS girl. At last she paused; lookeii
around in evidrnt surprise at the t'fl"ect. he:
song had produced; and then clianging her
theme commenced at lively prelude on he:
instrument. Her eyes caught mine; out:
thrilling look went to my heart; and iher.
she commenced a song of love and chivalry.

The end of the song found me unconscious
‘of time, place.or the thoizsimd gleaming eye:

and as the last note trembled on the chords‘
of her instriimnrll, my rough voice crashed
upon its sweetness 2- ‘Who and whatarc you?

' The band struck up, and soon the lovely

in the voluptuous ivaltz; but my charmer
was no longer to be seen. She had decamp—

hitherto had stood the test of bright eyes and
