"I have already told you," she began, "that ' the riiy of Teznico was once the capital of tlii< empire. Nezahnalcoyoll there held his court, ' which was ihoie magnificent than that of any preceding monarch. Bui at the time in which ' mv story begins, his long and glorious reign was drawing to a close, lie had been, surres. 1 sively, h warrior, a statesman, a poet, and a philosopher, and so humane and munificent a prince, that his subjects might easily have been persuaded to pay him divine honors.

Hut Nezahu.ilcoyoll was old, and he desired to see his son united in rnarri ago to the Princess Torquosa, and firmly estub lished as his successor, before his depaiture to the land of shades. ' Piince Nezahnalpilli, was majestic in perRon, grave in manners, and possessed of a coin. ?,k.,n.!uii mid nltilosorihic mind. He had made |;ic.K.m.> ?. , great proficiency in mathematics, astrology, ami (ho science ol war, while his royal father himself had instructed him in the rites of re|igion, charging him to ?o ship tho invisible . God and his ministers, tho sun, moon, and stars This prince possessed, also, in his youlh. social and more gentle virtues. He was just, hut generous, and though a brave warrior like his father, like him ho was also humane and merciful. Ho was more fond of retirement than a court, and preferred study to tho din of arms ; yet, in limes of necessity or danger, no prince was ever wiser in council or more brave in hat. lie. "Such was Nczahualpilli, the heir to tho throne of Tezonco, and Jhe destined husband of the beautiful and beloved To.quosa. Descended from that illustrious but benign race who brought to Amihuac just law* and purer faith, the Princess Torquosa inherited their benignity of manners, their loftiness and equa. nimily of mind. Wherever she appeared she was regarded as a superior being. The peo. pie prostrated themselves before her palanquin with as much reverence ns before ihat.of the emperor. She was called by the minstrels, i he I'oltec uiaide.il,''the bird of the valley,' and, the sweet singing bird, of the royal eagle's nest.' Her dark, sad eyes, her raven tresses, her pearly teeth, and brilliant smile, are still commemorated in our song* and still on the lake ofTezcuco, in a. clear evening, a solitary liontman will sometimes pass you, singing some strain of an ancient melody to 'the Toltec maiden's charms. In the imperial palace a long suite of apartments were appointed to the Princess Torqtiosa. They overlooked one of the great courts and royal gardens, and were furnished with rare taste and magnificence. Bright (lowers or gay landscapes were wrought in need;ework upon the carpets, while the ceilings were of finest wood, and carved by the most skilful artisans in the empire.

The princess herself was clothed in fine cotton, ornamented with the emerald and torqnoise. She ivore also, when she left the palace, a mantle < -I I.

Hut I must hasten to my tale, for the evening wanes. The time had been appointed for the tnarri. ige of the jirip.ee and princess. Active proper-. tUoils' liaii been made tlirougimiu-ine empire, Liid on the following (iny (hat event was to take luce which had been so long anticipated.? The palace whs a scene of festivity and riii? fragrance of flowers hi led all the aparliients ; cooling fountains were playing in the ;ourts and gardens ; I tie countenance of the old onperor beamed with smiles; and the usually ?iave and thoughtful expression of the princely In idegroom had given place to one of open gladness. The sweet'bride had sat all day in tier own apartments, surrounded by her muiJens ; sometimes sitting in pensive silence, the lights and shadows parsing by turn over her lovely lace, and sometimes singing snatches of sweet songs, wiih a voice so full oi melody that hey seemed to overflow from her very heart. So the day at length passed on, and twilight iva< deepening into night, when the prince sought Torquosu, mid they ascended together he palace roof, ll was such an evening >u his. The moon thotie brightly over the statey city and the clear waters, while the royal overs walked together and talked of the glow, tig future, with us much happiness us it their ot had not b'M'ii so high. The laige, hold eyes of the prince, that flashm1 so terrible upon his enemies, were now soft ned into love ; nod the voice so high and lotid, ha-' it was heard thiougliout his hosts in the nidst ?.<" faille, was how as low and sweet as he music, oj the Ciisiiiinn lute. And well might ie tliu^ look ami spent;.jvhen lie gazed upon hose teHlures, so foil ol triit-tifig atfeciion and Miliaut hope. The cheek ol the princess seem d to glow with a brighter and richer bloom han ever before, and an unwonted light and icauty sparkled in her clear e\es. 'They tell me,' she said, 'that this world is me of sorrow ; 1ml I have never fotitid it so.? My path has ever been like llisit of yonder moon h rough 1 lie serene heavens; no c'otid has crossed it ; and such the astrologers tell me it shall be to the end. I believe them, and re|oiee for thy sake. Yes, my beloved, thy path uid n ine are the same, and while I live it shall never be darkened.'

While the prince nnd princess were thus conversing, they did nut observe a female figure, which crouched at a little distance ir<?m them, and listened breathlessly to their words. It was the figure of an Aztec slave, who had been taken captive by the prince in war, and. preBellied to his destined bride. When they turned to descend into the palace she was gone. She had entered their presence imperceived, and nnperceived departed. The prince accompanied Torqiiosa to her apart incuts, where they separated with a cheerful 'good night.' 'HI ! 1 * ? 1 l.?*l i lie princess was nnmeuimciv nurruunuru by her attendants, who assisted to disrobe her, and slie lay down upon her conch with a light and happy heart. Sho had sunk into a soft and pleasant slum* her, and her maidens ulso were wrapped in pro(bund repose, when a light and stealthyi read might have been heard in Iter chamber, and the form of the Aztec slave bent over her.

But softshe may awake. I must be quick, or the bird, the singing bird, will escape me yet. Now, hateiJ Toltec, thy time has come !' fSo saying, the fierce Aztec drew from her robe the fatal weapon. It flashed a moment | in the moonlight which streamed like a guarI dian over the sleeping maiden, and was then | buried in her bosom, ; She uttered no groan, for the knife found a direct passage to her heart. So passed the sweet Princess Torquosa to the land of shadows.' The astrologers were right?she died before her noon, but lived with. ' out a sorrow. With a smile of savage exultation, the slave drew the bloody weapon from the bosom of the princpss, and hastily Jell the apartment. The morning dawned with more than usual glory. The valley of Mexico was all spread out in the sunlight, glowing with beauty, and full of animation and joyousness. The population of the whole empire were abroad at early dawn, anxious to celebrate, with suitable festivities, the marriage of their renowned prince They might be seen in gay groups in the markets, public roads, and gardens, on the roofs ot the houses, and on the (mats Anrl islands of the lake, in their holidav dresses, adorned with flowers, and carrying large nosegays of fragrant honey suckles and roses. Banners waved, music played, and the priests in long procession wound slowly up the sides of the leocallis, with waving censers and choicest offerings, seeking to propitiate the gods. The young prince, with a light heart, leaped- I from his couch, and having been magnificently attired, sought the apartments of his bride, fol. lowed by a crowd of attendant ndblesr Alas! alas! tradition, tells us that, after the sight he saw.thucAT.i>i:inca-Nffza.lHiapillt' was a changed man. He became stern even to sever* ity, and was never known to smile. He lived to be firmly established on the. throne of his father, and then to sen his empire pass into otherhands. But the changes in his fortune affected him but little since the dark and sudden night which had fallen upon his youth. lie died at lust in obscurity. Some say that the Aztec slave followed him through life like an evil spirit, and at last, in his age and decre piltide, destroyed him with the same weauon which had drunk up the iile.blood of the Princess Torquosa, in her youth and bloom. But be that as it may, you may still see, in a moonlight evening, two slatelv firms hovering over the palace roof of the Lord of Tezcuco, the one resembling a warrior prince, the other a beau teous maiden apparailcd as a bride."
