represent, as is well known, the dffcreiht
stages or shades in the progress
of tender passion?love, desire,
itop**, proud disdain, and relenting
tenderness. CoUls refusal and warm
confession of the soft impeachment,
are vividly represented l>y means of
the modulations of the music, and
the voluptuous movements of the
dancers. Temperament and custom
have rendered the Fandango and
Bblero (the last of which is but a continuation
of, or a sequel to the former,)
nfcpressive of the intoxicating
joy of urojfacQssful love, the especial
favorite oflfie Spaniards, and usually

Roman clergy, shocked at Ihe immor
nl nature oflhe Fandango, resolved
in solemn assembly upon its suppression.
A consistory was commissioned
to make it the subject of inquiry,
and after due deliberation, when'
tiley were about to pronounce sentence
upon, and banish the dance,
one of the cardinals, actuated by sentiments
of l ight and justice, and acting
upon the principle that no defendant
should be condemned unheard,
urged that the Fandango, the ao

the court, in propria persona. The
justness of the benevolent cardinal's
views were at once acknowledged;
and accordingly two of the most noted
Spanish dancers were summoned
to appear before court, by way of
counsel for the defendant; or in other
words, to introduce the Fandango
before, the august tribunal. The
dance commenced, the holy fathers,
with contracted brows, looked for a
while unloved; at length the seductive
charms and irresistible loveliness
of theclanco exhibited their effect in
chasing away the wrinkles from the
foreheads ol its austere judges.?
Hostile indications and bellicose intentions,
with reference to the dance
by imperceptible degrees, merged into
lively interest and fixed attention',
now as its charms more fully developed
themselves, one of the reverend
gentlemen so far forgot himself and
[lis position as to be guilty of the manifest
impropiiety of beating time to
the movements of the music. The
_l
uuucc went on, ue coming more and
seductive, when one of the worthy
clpsgy suddenly bolted from his seat,
and commenced executing the move
ments of the dance. Another aijd
another followed; the furore became
general; the judge's bench bocame
e.mpiy-all were whirling in the dance;
and what was late a clerical court,
was suddenly metamorphosed into a
dancing saloon. It is needless, also,
to record the verdict, the Fandango
was reinstalled with all its former
rights and privileges, and its triumph
has proved its security against all
similar attempts on the part of the
clergy.?From the German of Grobe.

In the village of Uorejggi,
whether it wero that due precautions
had not been taken, or tnat'the disease
was of a peculiarly malignant
nature, one after another?fir'st the
vouiur and then tho old?of n whol?
family chopped off. A woman, the
wife of a mother of
two little boys, felt nerself attacked
by fever in the night; in the morning
it greatly increased, and in the evening
the latal tumor appeared. This
was during the absence of her husband,
who went to work at a distance,
and only returned on Saturday
night, bringing home the scanty
means of subsistence for his family
for the week. Terrified by the fate
ot the neighboring family before mentioned,
moved by the fondest love
for her children, and determining not
to communicate the diseasease to
them, she formed the heroic resolution
of leaving her home and going
somewhere else to die. Havingjocked
them into a room, and sacrificed
to their safety even the last and sole
comfort of a parting embrace, she
'an down the stairs, carrying with
her the :h^ets and coverlet, that she

! She then shut the door with a sigh,
and went away. But the eldest,
I hearing the door shut, went to the
window, and seeing her running in
that manner, cried out out 'Good-byT
mother/ in a voice so tender, that she
involuntarily stopped. 'Good-by,
mother,1 repeated tne youngest child,
stretching his little head out of the
window, and thus was the poor afflic
led compelled for a time to endure
the dreadful conflict between the
yearnings whichcalled her back, and
the pity and solicitude which urged
her on. At length the latter conquer
