Sooner than witness its downfall, and the inglorious extinction of its name, he hail quitted the Alhanibra ere its heated conquerors hatLatered the gates of the city. The stars, that bad rested like the sentinels of time, on the watch towers of heaven, and calmly and inysterioutdy gazed on the passing i events of centuries, gleamed with an unusua ly silver radiance on that night.

Again Grenada rose before him in all its orient mag nificence. Again his energies and as pirations awfully concentrated by dc spair were flushed and mighty. Again he trod the earth (he limit of his nuny-pathed ambition, with the majes ty of some mighty God. All the vagueness and obscurity of the past gave way to the creation of a new life created not by the noisv patriotism, but by the new energies of a lofty soul, knit and strengthened by holy aims. Placing his dust covered armor on him, with a small band of exiles, Jie swept on to Grenada the brave cheif- tain that was the king that might be.

Now it would gradually die away, and all below were still as if the angel of death had flapped his funeral pinions over them and silenced them forever. Anon it would break forth again in one loud and long burst reverberating along the quiet streets ot the city like the. peal in terror flung from the midnight cloud- it would sound from the snowy summit of Nevada (o the far distant wilderness, and anon its echo would be lost among the thick reeds on the banks of the Darro. "'Lotig live Muza Hen Abil Ga.an, King of Grenada." ' It was indeed a proud moment Tor that brave and noble warrior. Unlook ed for victory had wrested the diadem of the Moors from the grasp of the Christians. Liberty to his generous countrymen had arisen from clouds & tempests like the angfl of Manoah's sacrifice above the flame of nature's funeral pyre. His life was consum mated, its great object attained. His young and holy ambition had vanished with bis years: Aged and infirmvthe light of his existence fading and glim mering, he felt the strong necessity of quiet repose. His determination was made; il was the work of moment to carry it into effect. Disguised and a lone he passed undisturbed thro' the city's gates as the morning sun gleam ed on the walls and turrets of the Al hambra. He turned one long and anx. ious gaze on Grenada, and with tear ful eyes took up his pilgrimage. The intended monarch became an unknown wanderer! , A contemporary beautifully remarks.

The Globe speaks of the anti-slavery resolutions of the Vermont and Massachusetts Legislatures, as Whig - resolutions. Now is this the fact? The Van Bu ren candidates for secretary of State and Lieut. Governor of Vermont, were both oHfceTSof-Afl4-SUyyso-cieties. Tlie resolutions in question, received the vote of both parties in the Legislature. The two lat deuiocrat ic, Van Buren, Conventions of.ihat State, have opv-nly expressed aboli tion principles. Some of the most ac tive and influential members of thef Van Buren party in the 8tate, art lo cal agents- of the American Anti Slavery 8octety. How is it in Massa chusetts? The Massachusetts Legis lature contained last year more than 200 Van Buren members: of these only six voted against the "firebrand" resolutions.
