Calhoun, and now in the possession of tho lady by whom the above parody was written."_ _ A mim FOB THE mc. 1 CONTiN UKD.1 ..Father," sh? began timidly, and paused; but tho emperor set bis cup down with an air of sucb unbounded satisfaction, that she took courage to proceed. "Father, I ask as a boon what my mother's daughter may claim as a right. A grand-child of Charles tho Bold may protest against a marriage with any but the bravest of the brave. Her'hand is tho meet reward of bim alone who bears him? self best for a summer's day in closed lista. Mamma told mo so only yes . terday, and what would grand-papa have said, if ho could have heard I was to ho married like a miller's daughter, without a drop of liquid spilt moro precious than a few flasks of Rhenish?" She spoko iu German, of course, and in high flown language; but our translation, thougb colloquial, con? voys as nearly as possible what she intended to say. Maximilian pondered and looked profound. To oppose Mary of Bur? gundy, was in itself no tempting venture. . All that family, as bo used to observe, require tho most deUcate management; and in bis few collisions with his empress, ho had invariably come worst off. But to contravene any established dictum of hers, in? herited from her ' tempestuous old father, why it was not to be thought of. Ho had not the nervo to do it. "Besides," thought the emperor, staring Visely into his cup, "Otto of Ehenheim is a formidable warrior. I have seen tho best of our champions go down before him like barley in harvest time. He will not- tilt tho worse that ho id fighting for an Arch? duchess of Austria. Supperment! ho shall win her with his lance, and everybody will be satisfied." So he woko tho jester with a hearty kick, at which that professional, though wincing from an application delivered with tho pointed shoo of the period, was fain to raise an ill dissembled-laugh, and implanting a kiss upon his daughter's forehead, exclaimed: "Be it as thou wilt, my loss. Thou art thy mother's own child, and doubtless art ever best pleased in the midst of confusion and strife. Let them fall to blows for thee, an' they must; and perhaps tho victor may find, ero all bo done, that ho too has met with his match." So ho dismissed her from the pre? sence, and summoning his heralds, commanded n grand tournament to bo proclaimed for that day week, specifying tho conditions of thc con? test, and tho value of tho prize. Cunning Maximilian reflected that tho shorter notico given, the fewer competitors, and consequently tho better chance for his favorite, Ott,o of Ehenheim." And now was running to and fro about the precincts of the court, and despatching of retainers hither and thither, nud much inspection of horse flesh, and proving of mail, and driving of armorers to their wits' end; for a week was but a brief period of preparation for snellman event as a tournament in which an emperor's daughter was to bo the prize. Every man thought his chanco as good as another's, and resolved that no deficiency in charger, weapons, or accoutrements, should give his antagonist tho slightest ad? vantage. Business, as wo should say in these commercial days, re? ceived no inconsiderable impetus. Sigismund of Kalbsbraten gavo Leo? pold, Count Schmarn, fifty gold pieces on tho for a new fashioned head piece, which ho had long hoped to come by in a less honest manner; whilst Rodolph tho Chatelaine ex oh fia ge tl a suit of Milan chaki-armor, Without a marmor, for a famous bay steed belonging to the Lord of Ehrenbreitstein. The courtiers' ton? gues ran more nimbly than ever, and tho ladies, could hardly be expected to keep silence on so congenial a topic. Otto was evidently tho favorite, especially amongst the latter; and although many of those gentle parti zans, for sundry reasons, did not care to have him married, perhaps, there was but one feminine heart in the whole court that would leap to see him vanquished-and that heart was beating beneath the bodice of the fair prize herself. . He took it very coolly-he always did take matters coolly; hut while ne abated not one jewol in the splendor of his horses and armor, not without a strong conviction on his own part that he must win, if ho only did his best. These imperturbable, resolute champions are tho most dangerous adversaries. And whilst the whole palace was alive with* bustle and shouting, with tho din of armor, tho flashing of torches, and tho discord of many voices, how still and quiet were those two in the shade of the pine forest, with the spring bubbhng softly up at their feet, and the evening star shed? ding its rays calmly down upon their pole, loving faces. Hand-in-hand, with many a pretty oath and foolish vow between, had they talked over tho corning tour? nament, and the chances of victory for him whose arm was nerved hy the smiles of his beloved. Of course, at first she would not hear of his entering for tho prize. She would hevor endanger . her dear Karl's lifo forsooth, not she! and he must give her up.and not think about her any more, and be satisfied with her as? surance that she could never, never forget him; and of.-course, ii he had taken her at her word, she would have been infinitely disgusted, and rated him as low as he would have deserved. Then, on cutting short all this kind of thing, rather brusque? ly, but in a sufficiently pleasant manner, * tho subject came to bo more practically discussed, and tho archduchess did not scruple to ex? press her high opinion of tho Land? grave's prowess, and intense dread that ho would prove tho conquerer and winner of tho prize. Doubtless, before the lauco of whomsoever tho Alsatian went down, tho knight who laid that lance in rest would obtain Clotkildo's hand. Must not Karl reserve his forces as much as possi? ble for this formidablo antagonist, so that the result of tho tournament should ind^c^l be a dnel between the two wearers of tho violet? And then, could tho Count of tho Fen but come into tho struggle a fresher man thnn th? Landgrave of Ehen hoim, what doubt of victory and subsequent happiness? "With a wo? man's enviable faculty of talking herself into any given opinion in less than ten minutes, and her im Elicit faith that the mau sho loves as only to attempt it, and he must succeed in any and every enterprise, Clothilde soon found herself tri? umphantly anticipating tho result of tho very contest she had so much dreaded; nay, before tho increasing darkness warned them it was time to part, sha had taken such a jump into the future as to have settled in her own mind tho very dress she meant to bo married in, and even sundry subsequent arrangements, in which tho unconscious Karl was to bear an obedient, unassuming part. But the evening star ero this was high in tho heavens, and under tho shadow of the gloomy pines, the night, ns tho German says, was "blackj as a ^wolf's mouth." Mary of Burgundy resembled tho strict old darno in the nursery ballad *'-of Northumberland, Who kept her daughter ia her hand," rigidly enforcing certain rules, which neither family nor household dared venturo to disobey. It was not good to offend the house of Burgundy. Strong and fiery, liko tile wines of their dukedom, their blood boiled np quickly, but took a long time to cool down. Nobody dreamt of dis? puting tho Empress' authority least of all tho Emperor. It .was high time to part. A hurried sen? tence-a warinjpressuro of tho hand two heads bowing nearer and nearer each other-something that would have been a whisper, had it not terminated in a sweeter assurance still, and Clothilde was hastening uway through the darkness to tho edge of the pine-forest, whilst her lover remained like a statue nt the spring, listening to catch the last echo of her foot-fall. But another foot-full caused Karl to start ns if he was shot, and crouch? ing down to tho earth, to put his ear on its surface and listen for an instant in nu agony of suspense. No! there was no mistaking tho long stealthy gallop, nor tho snuffing nostrils hunting steadily on the track of their prey. Ere sho could reach tho border of tho forest, tho wolf miist bo upon her-the gaunt groy wolf, that would pull a mau dowu if he Hod from him, thtit^maddened with hunger, after tho sovoro winter, would tear tho life out of a fallon prey. Karl started to his feet and flew along tho path with all tho vi^or of his stalwart manhood and the speed of his fresh clastic youth. Love's oars are sharper than those of fear. Sho had half turned round to meet him, when a dim panting shape, with flaring eyes, bounded np against her, and boro hor to the earth. There was a faint shriek-a fierce, stifled snarl-a dark," rough 1 outline, and a moss of white draperies on the path. With an instinct fiercer and more reckless than the wolf's, Karl flung himself down to the resoue. Short, sharp, but decisive, it was a gallant struggle between the man and'the brute. .The former had no weapons save those with which nature had provided him, and twice the long white fangs of his antagonist drank deep from the stream of life. Once the sharp muzzle was buried in his thigh, once in his side; each time it tore away tho dripping flesh; hut the Count of tho Fen was no child in a death-gr?pple like this, and tho grasp of his two strong hands grew tighter round that sinewy neck, till at Inst ho got his knee and his whole weight to bear upon its throat, and so pressed lifo and breath toge? ther out of tho long, lean, hairy monster. "When Karl arose, bleed? ing, gasping and exhausted, tho wolf's dead carcase lny stretched on tho path at his feet. His first c?ro was the archduchess, but ho was giddy and faint, and it was hor hand that wiped his brow and strove to staunch his wounds with the strips sho toro from herdress, and her voice that bade him rest his head on her knees (for he had fallen onco more) nn<\ look up in her face, and tell her he was not hurt to death-her preserver! her own! She had for? gotten all about the tournament now, and the Emporor, and tho Land? grave, all hut Karl, bleeding, it might be dying, for her sake! She was not hurt. Tho rescuer had arrived just in time, and ere tho savage animal, which had dragged her to the ground, could tear away mere than a mouthful of loco and velvet and ermine from her dress, it had found an unsparing enemy in? stead of a defenceless prey.

THE QUEEN'S DELIGHT, tho great American Alterative and Blood Puri? fier, ia tho moBt perfeot vegetable, com Sound of alteratives, tonics, diuretics and iaphoretics; making it tho most effective invigorating, rejuvenating and blood cleansing cordial known to tho world. In introducing this now and extraordi? nary medicino to tho public, observation leads UH to remark that too little attention is paid to tho "lifo of all ilcsh," tho blood. Many diseases, and, too, many complaints, which havo their origin in a vitiated stato of tho blood, aro treated only os symptoms and .results: whereas, if tho remedy had been-applied to enrich tho blood and ren? der it puro, both cause and effect would havo been removed. Tho Queen's Delight is .offered to tho aMiotod as a sure remedy for thoso diseases arising from au impuro condition of tho blood. It has a direct and Bpcciflc action upon that fluid, and consequently renders tho blood pure. It is said, ou high authority, that "man no sooner begins to live than ho begins to die, and that tho characteristics of tho living organism aro ceaseless chango and ceaseless waste." It is obvious, therefore, to every reflecting mind, that UIIICBS tho blood is pure, in supplying tho waste tis? sues with material, it must bo tho cause ol innumerable ills and constitutional disor? ders, such as Scrofula, Rheumatism, He? patic Disorders, Consumption, Inflamma? tions, Fevers, Ac.

Wo thoreforo adviso every ono whoBt blood is in tho least vitiated by indulgence or excess, and whoso constitution is im Saired by discaso and is suffering fron heumatism, Liver Complaint, Consump tion, Scrofula or King's Evil, Carbuncles , Boils, Itching Humor of tho Skin, Erysi polas.

Females of delicate eonstitution, Buffer ing from weakness and depression of mini in consequence of those complaints whicl nature imposes at tho poriod of change havo a pleasant and suro remedy in th Queen's Delight.

Tho unacclimatod and persons travelin into warm countries will lind tho Queen Delight a great protection from all malar ops affection and diseases which originat in a chango of climate, diet and life. Tho extraordinary and unpreccdentc cures porformcd by tho Queen's Dcligl Compound is attracting tho attention < overy one, not only at home, but abroa? Tho merits of this compound aro bein felt and appreciated everywhere. Hei what they say of it in New York: "It is remedy ?f much importanco and valu exerting an influence over all tho seer tiona, which is unsurpassccLby any othi known alterative.
