CELEBRATIpi e"
i OF AN AFRICAN MARRIAGD
" After a short march we met some horsemen, one of whoill
led a richly-harnessed, dazzling white horse, whose mane and
tail were dyed with henna orange colour, and the rest of the
body decorated with spots of the same. Soon after appear:.
some gaily-dressed Bedouins, of whom the foremost carried ,;
striped red and white banner, which he pranced about in t'
most graceful manner, and displayed his skill bysundry er
lutions—sometimes raising it over his head, sometimes grilling
it to the ground. Several other horsemen now met them from
the opposite side, and at last all united upon an open pliro
and performed various sports and military exereiees• eit
amused ourselves a while with watching them, and then learn rt
that they were celebrating a wedding, and that the fema:e
of the company, though themselves unseen, witnessed the s'Oe:ls
tacle from an arbour."—Adventures in Algiers and other
of Africa, by Prince Fackler Muskau.
ILLUSTRATIONS OF HUMAN LIFE, BY TH%
Of
AUTHOR of " TREMAINE."-If uniform grace and spirit s
language—purity, elevation, and variety of thought--0",
shrewd estimate of character, can make a work popular, too
these " Illustrations of Human Life" will be generally re:,
and admired. It is not a book to be lounged over in t,
boudoir, and then thrown aside and forgotten, but to be $0
tentively read and meditated upon, for it abounds in curio..
and subtle speculations, the result of long experience on poio
deeply interesting to the well-being of society.—Sun.
A dispute took place between a Capuchin and Jev"
as to which of them could cite the greater number of holy
dividuals ; and it was at length agreed that they should alter
nately pluck a hair from each other's beards on naming 011'4
sainted personage. Capuchin (Fulling a hair from the Jewti,

EVENINGS WITH PRINCE CAMBACERE3.---1
is another and a very agreeable addition to the numerous icor!!
we already possess relating to the life and actions' of Napor',
Prince Cambaceres brings the reader into the CaSnet of 1"y
polcon when.,he was First Consul. The same surprising eLle„glt
and promptitude with which he acted under the most diinc"iit
combinations of circumstances, appear in his early cavier,for
well as those instances of generosity, and of despotism, toot
which he was distinguished. The time included in these lij
lumes is one of the most interesting dramas in the life of ,
mighty man, and the narrative is detailed in the true drarnatii
spirit for which the French are so eminently remarkable• to
is needless to add that no Napoleon Library can be cornPle'
without these volumes.—Dublin Evening Post.
