THE GOLD-DEVIL ! OB, CiUbrii ; Now and a HutiArcd Year Ajo. s oaoaoa llffASD. Part Firut A HunAtnl years Ago. One hundred years ago an adventurer . . , ' i " 1 i v ;, i who had penetrated into the heart of Me ! ico, w.us sittu'g in In hawntla, near-, the Cily of Montezuma, with the last rays of the selling stun upon his moody brow. II1.1 check rested on his hand, his ejej were fixed upon the floor, and his lip compress ed between his clenched teeth, indicated a miml absorbed in the mazes of a trembling hopo. or a troublous memory. The view li jtii the casement Wiw bmutiul the lake iiml tlio my of Mexico, bathed m the sun setniys, with the Volcanic !ouutuiii ri in: in the blue heaven, a lone nvrainid of snow and lire, in a canopy f cloudless a-! Eul the thoujrhls of the adventurer were not upon sublime ncene.ry or bewitching: liiiidsfapes. IIo wad from the land of old Castile ; he had wandered to the land of Mexico in search of El Dorado; be was ii'iw li.iriy ycara of ae, with a muscular firm. t. la I in dingy velvet, and a picket exc i. i! the nnli clunax It'itanted by n sohtury djiibloMi. There, Juan (ion- zusaatot suiiHel in bin lonely hneienda. ' nea r tl,.. city of Montezuma, with his ch k on his hand, and lua eyes fixed upon the floor '' he mghed, 'El Dorado !' Ine Inez was a dark ryed, voluptuous lady. 1 win in ho had often seen in the city tit ' the Cathedral, on the Eltneda, at her fa- uier, piacr, smiling troin trie halcony and. vi: hunt an r.l Dorado, it was impossi ble to win her hand. That was the mean- in:r of the words coupled with a sigh. There was also the thought of a half-wild peasant i r 1 . who of!entiine went singing under a hurd.jii of fruits and flowers, along the ro.nl of the gteat city. She was a brown cheeked, dark eyed maiden, with the mingled blood of Castile rrfid Mexico throbbing in her viens. Her name, Lovat- j la, was oftentimes on the hps of the oor adventurer , and once or twice he laid spo ken to her she was in sooth a rude wild flower cf a beauty, but the lady Inez was . j beutilu! and ncu and noble alas ! for poor Loyo: Juan sat alone for a Jong ume, until the i evening gamcreu over tno cny ! and tin; lake, while I'opocatciwti flamed, j llk(J a ,-u, r:, T through the nishr.

Who the stran- gcr was, or what was the nature of his mission with the poor Castilian, we cannot j tell, out it is recorded that this interview ; lasted until the daj light rushed through ! the casement, when Juan was discovered with his forehead resting on his hand, and 1 h;s starting cyct lixcd upon the table, while the stranger sat opposite, regarding hnu , wuh a timet Lok and smile 1 . . . . . .
