ET suffer such a mental torture as I did while lying there surrounded by those devils in humen shape, as T thought of all the heart agony that my wife must suffer when the revolting details of my dreadful death should become known to her. Once I turned my head toward tho West to catch a glimpse of the setting sun, and the next moment I was insensi- ble. It was not long that I remained thus; for I was aroused in by the quick rattle of pistol shots, clash of steel, the wild battle shouts, and dying screams of strong men in their last rid death agony. All ground me I beheld a vision of gal- lant men, led by a slight, girlish figure in the light blue frock, gold-embroidered vest and plumed cap of the Southern Guachas, who, mounted upon a superb horse, black as night, sped here and there, shouting our battl of * Mue~ rox los Imperialistos !” in which she was joined by her hundred followers, who burled themselves upon the doomed ruf- fians in a whirlwind of gleaming steel. The last wretch was slain, and the lovely woman knelt beside me; her arms wore about my neck, her warm kiss was upon my cheek, as she breathed in a gen- Ue tone the words, ‘‘ My husband !” Tt was my wife —my own angel Incz. She had ridden on in advance of more than four hundred men, with only a hun- dred who could keep pace with her, and —I was saved. A WIFE’S DEVOTION. BY GEO, & RAYMOND. The long and struggle which bad for years been carried on between the Imperial Government of Brazil and the revoted southern proygpces was draw- ing to a close; and I, who for nearly five years had been almost constantly cn the wing, or, what amounted te about the same thing, on horseback, in the patri- otie service, was on my way to join my little Brazilian wife to whom I had been united some fivemonths previously, and from whose side I had been summoned within three hours after our marriage to lead my command against a body of Don Pedro Seguado’s Lancieros, who were oe depredations in the neighbor- I had been severely wounded in the side and shoulder, and what with the ex- posure in our wild, unccmfortable camp, the entire lack of proper medical and surgical skill, and the slow fever which had for three weeks been consuming me, my iron constitution had given away at last, and I was as near dead as a man could well be and maintain his seat in his saddle. My home, or rather that of my wife, was on the bsnks of the beautiful Uru- guay, on the extreme western limits of the Brazilian Empire, and my way thithcr led across the serried peaks and through the wild passes of the Southern Brazilian Andes, a region swarming with every species of wild beasts, fierce savages, murderous banditti, who killed for mere pastime, and bands of Imperial troops, more savage than brutes, Indians, or robbers. Pleasant, very; don’t you think it was ? for an invalid scarce able to keep his seat in the saddle, and accompanied by only two negro slaves possessing but little more sense or reason thaa the horses they guided. Seven long, tedious days went by, and I had struggled on thus far without co: ing in contact with the wild beasts, sav- ages, robbers, or Imperial so'diers, to within fifteen leagues of my journey’: end; when my overtasked energies could bear me up no longer, and dispatching the most intelligent of my servants to apprise my wife and family of my situa- tion, [lay down under the shelter of a shelving rock in one of the most rugged, desolate mountain passes I had ever seen, bat with slight hopes of surviving tili aid should arrive from my friends on the Uruguay.

Twenty times during the afternoon I had sent the remaining slave to the stream which wound along the bottom of the ravine for water to slake my burning thirst. The sun was, perhaps, an hour above the horizon, when I was suddealy sur- roundsd by a band of some twenty fero- cious-looking brigands, who were traver- sing the mountain pass to the westward in pursuit of @ ursin of mules loaded with merchandize that had preceded tigm but the day previous. Thad rothing about me to tempt the robbers’ cupidity. As they were rather partial to the revolutionary party, whose uniform I-wore, they offcred me no vio- lence, and one of them even brought me a gourd of water, for my siave had fied atthe approach of the brigands, and | never saw him afterward. But all my entreaties, prayers and promises of reward were unheeded. I sid uot prevail om them to remain with cA ~v friends should arrive. They ee “aly upon the capture and were intent o. 2 at and so they de- plunder of the max. ‘onic, ck. ad arted, leaving me there a. in ation. in that wild, desolate mo™t#= pass. My scanty supply of water was soon exhausted, and 1 was raving mad with intolerable thirst. In my frerzy I tore the bandages from: my balf-closed wounds, beat my head against the rocky frag- ments that formed my bed ; end. oh, how A A ANCIENT 48D MODERS HOMES. The Romans walked on mosaic floors ; bat they were hard and cold. The pal- ace halls of Queen Flizabeth were strewn with straw and rushcs; but we, of this western world, walk over lan u designed by the genius of Claude Lo- raine—thus bringing to our very feet, in the luxurious tread of the parlor, all the images of beauty whieh once adorned the walls of Italian palaces, and which are now sought for with cagerness, and looked upon with veneration. The progress of art and taste is e’eo- tric in our age, and Inventions for mul- tiplying whatever exalts or embellishes civilized life, outstrip the widest imagi- nation. We were forcibly stauck with this thought the other day, as we glanced rapidly through a great carpet estab- lishment. There is always much that is suggestive and striking in a superb collection of rich fabrics gathered on every part of the world, and thrown open to the eye of teste on our fashionable Boulevard; and every season brings its new attraction into Bradway. But at no former period have we witnessed more warked progress in any department, than we find this spring in the new styles of ‘arpets, and every species of covering with which we clothe the halls and floora of our dwellings. There we notice a luxurious Mosaic rug, which seems an exact counterpart of one of the flaest pictures of the old masters. From a short distance the sky is as blue—the clouds as golden—the water as limpid — the tree-shadows fall as mirror-like upom its glassy bosom—the herds are as lazily wandering in the meadows—the moun- tains rise as dark at the base, as purple up the sides, and ag golden en the tops, as ever the finest imagination pictured. At the farther end of the stately hall above referred to, (which, for com- mercet sake, we must call a sales room,) is suspended something entirely new in the world of art—an American invention. it is the first sample seen in the world of the Medallion Ingrain Carpet. It iz composed of five breadths, which unite in a gorgeous and splendid desiga— unique, fresh, striking, beautiful, axd suggestive of images of beauty ; and yet this work of art which is worth a thou- sand times more than all the meaning- ‘ess scrolls and flowers, and confusion of colors, hurled tegether to make up cars pets of common design, cost ecarcely a groat more than one of those old-fash- ioned things we have grown so tired of long years ago. Why shall we not have things that are beautiful in our dwellings, when the genius of art and the sturdy aru of commerce bring them to our doors ¢ This is an age of luxury and of peace to us on this untroubled side of the ear: It may weli be; for the olive ia growing .” Our New World, while the flames of war 2° Jighted in the Old. And here is a nation “f working men, walking ona continent of gold. Once all the beautiful chjects, images and associa- tions ofart were confined to the rich and neble.
