Well, my young friend, said the Dictator, turning to Rodrigo, after a long pause: how do you like Assumption, and what do you propose doing here? What I propose doing here, said Rodrigo, with a careless gaiety of demeanour, depends on what your Excellency thinks proper to do with me. I have been persuaded by my friend Jago, to migrate into Paraguay, and my course will be easily settled if your Excellency favors me? If all the young men in Cordova have as much confidence in me, rejoined the Dictator, smiling, whilst Jago stood shifting his posture in extreme embarassment, I should soon not be able to find situations for them in the whole country. Meanwhile I am heartily obliged to you for your reliance on me, and only wish that an equally good opinion were entertained by all foreigners. Rodrigo''s countenance grew more serious. Painful as it is to me, illustrious Sir, said he-- I must not leave you in any mistake. People abroad do not speak very favorably of you. I will not allude to the clergy, they hate you, for having broken their power; but the people greatly censure your inexorable severity, and think you deprive the Republic of its freedom, instead of maintaining it Francia looked surprised, though not angrily, on the speaker. Jago himself was so little prepared for such rashness on the part of his friend, that he was quite unable to say a deprecating word. Were I a tyrant, at length resumed the Dictator, in the same tone as before, this bold speech might easily cost you your life, young man! especially since you know that I possess the power thereto. However, I like bold men such as you appear to be, and am ready to hear counsel from every one, on...

Cordova, although its external splendour has been considerably defaced by the dreadful civil wars that have raged within it, is still a pretty and agreeable city. The truth of this will be especially felt by any beholder who stands at the Gate del Tucuman, and gazes on the majestic Cordillera de los Andes rising up before him. From this gate, only two days after the above related conversation, a company of young men was seen to issue. The weather was delightful, the spirits of our students were more than usually buoyant, and the air resounded with their songs and hurrahs. Close behind them, mounted on two spirited young horses, rode Rodrigo and Jago. When they had left the city at some little distance, the somewhat riotous party halted, and Jago with his friend rode on through the noisy circle. " Cuerpo de Christo!" cried a young braggart, pointing to the two horsemen; " so these two arch pedants are to be seen once more in good society ? Atelante, friends, atelante, the old Jago is gone by, but the rich, stingy Jago de Leon, must on this occasion pay the costs!" Laughing and shouting, the party now surrounded the two companions. " Dear friends," said Jago, drawing himself up on his saddle, " allow us to go quietly on our way; we should suit but ill with a merry party. The heart of our friend Rodrigo Medrano is oppressed, and mine is also heavy." " Of whom does the yellow beaked vulture speak?" asked a young man of gigantic stature, who stood near Rodrigo. " I also have some business with a certain Medrano. Dismount sir, and let us settle the question on the spot" " What mean you?" enquired Rodrigo, carelessly; " I am not aware of having offended you." " You have a bad memory, my friend," cried the other, " your bosom friend, Jago, has ...<
