MUSIC.

The fiercest bursts of passion own
Soft melody's controul; •
Its loftier strains revive, and raise
The care dejected soul.

It 'sounds the welcome voice of joy,
Assuages poignant sorrow;
And languages are merely tame,
.filusic's aid they borrow !

sham*, the son of Tamerlane, was * Prince situ-
rany avaricious, and of extreme parsimony in the
management of his household,. A. potter, who was
aware of his disposition, once presented himself before
him, and asked him if he believed in the truth. of than
doctrine of the Mahometan religion, which teaches,
that Nlussulmen e all brethren? Sharoch replied,
• Undoubtedly.' 'Then,' resumed the potter, since
we are all brothers, is it not a great injustice that
you should possess such an immense treasure, while
I have only one poor chest of tools? Give meat least,
the portion I ought to have in quality of brother.' The
Sultan accordingly presented him with a piece of
money of the value of three half-pence. .' What r
said the potter, is this all that is coming to me out'
of so great a treasure?' 6 Retire,' said Sharoch,.' and
be careful to tell no one of the sum I have given yogi
sour portion would not be so considerable if all out
other brothers knew it.'

An amusing scene took platein the Nall-of the.
Four Courts, Dublin, on Kander: n 0.161 than a'
pubr,ilistie rencontre between two gentlemen connected
with the legal profession-,,from charging, in language,
they proceeded to practical /ratio charging, and cre-
ated a scene of an indescribable nature.—The corn-
batants
were at length separated. The affair did
not terminate there; a message was the consequence,
and at an early hour on Tuesday, attended by their
seconds, they proceeded to clecidetit by the exchange
of shots. A field near Donnybrook had been se-
lected. A neighbouring Magistrate becoming acci-
dentally acquainted with their purpose, arrived on
the ground after it had been measured. The pistols
had just been squibbed, and were being loaded
when he interposed and prevented further . pro-.
ceedings at the moment. It is said, that, shorty
afterwards, the principals, though not known to,
police, were by chance arrested ; they informed thug;
detainers, that the parties had gone off to the
County f Wicklow, and were liberated. The Police;
it seems, followed up the wrong scent, and the indi-'
viduals were said to have left tesvn that night, for
the purpose of eluding further interruption.
