plants, and thy modest wish to possess the absolute
necessaries of life. Was it not 500
Benevolent Genius cried Ademdai, when he
had somewhat recovered himself, Il certainly do
wish that possessed, without labour, the bare ne
cessares of life. Can any man desire less ? Ger
tainly not, replied the Genius; but what meanest
thou by absolute necessaries How much would
procure them Every little. If have rice, wood
to cook it and to warm myself and decent dress to
put on that is all need to be happy sAnd how
much money would be required to put thee in pos
session of allthese thingsp about drachma day;
yes, for that sum am pretty sure could obtain all
that l absolutely want sWell, here eight
drachmas for eight days. on the eighth day, at this
hour, will appear again to thee. Shouldst thou
find this allowance inadequate, be not afraid to ask
for more. will give thee much as thou desrest,
till thou hast obtained whatever is necessarily for it is
not my intention to bestow thee aught that is
perhuous.' With these words the Genius retired,
and Ademda, with looks of joy, surveyed the mo-
ney which he had given him. Eight silver drachmas!
he had never been so rich in all his life. cat length
said he, Il am relieved from anxiety respecting my
future support and have need to toll all day long
by the sweat Of my brow, in order to obtain scanty
meal of rice at night Having thus spoken, he
considered the affair again, looked round him,
and exclaimed, ''By the tomb of the Prophet
have forgotten to ask my good Genius for many
necessary have not single article of furniture
look there at my wretched pallet must have
bed A good bed is necessary to sleep, and to
sleep well, essential to life to eat and drink
l have not carpet or cushion to sit upon myself
or for the accommodation of my friends when they
come to see me. l want table, also, to eat off -
at ones meals likes to have things convenient
Thus did Ademdai bethink himself of all the arti-
ces that he regarded necessary, and he awaited
with Impotence the next visit of his good Genius
On the evening of the eighth day, while eating his
rice he once more reconsidered the matter. otis
indeed pity said he, that have more than
drachma per day to live upon. Rice, and nothing
something to relish it, were it only on high days and
holidays. My good Genius will tell me that it is
not necessary; but he is wrong, as l shall be able
to prove it to him. 1t is necessary that man should
vary his food, else why hath God created so many
things for his subsistence In order to eat must
have an appetite but this everlasting relocating
takes ones appetite quite away. Holidays ought
to be days of pleasure and enjoyment but what
pleasure there be in the ncessant repetition of
this inspid diet! Yes, yes, it is necessary that l
my Genius to allow me two drachmas for holidays

and solicited what he had forgotten to ask tor at the
first interview The Genius listened to him with
patience. Beware Ademdai,' said he, in kind
tone, of desiring more than is necessary the mo-
ment thou applest for superAuities, that moment
shall abandon thee forever Ademdai then entered
into explanations, tending to prove that none of
these things which he desired to possess could be
regarded as superAuous The Genius was convinc-
ed he gave him four gold dinars to purchase house
hold furniture: allowed him the additional drach-
mas for holidays, and withdrew, promising to return
in eight days.
Scarcely had the morning dawned when Adem-
dai rose, and presently went out to buy what he
wanted. He had the furniture carried home, and
anced that his hovel would be turned into palace;
but it was not long before he made observation
which mortified him exceedingiy-the furniture was
and his dwelling old. He examined his house
and now discovered for the first time in what mi
SCRABBLE state it was-nay it seemed ready to tumble
down. He fetched builder to nspectit. Beware
my friend, said the latter, of attempting to repair
this howell it would cost less to build house
Ademda was grieved to be obliged to place his beau
tiful furniture in crazy hut. 'Supposing it were
to fall in thought he, Il should not only lose all
these fine things, but my life into the bargain. 1t is
absolutely necessary to rebuild house that is on
the point of tumbling down, and what is more
sental than selfpreservation Ademdai did not
fail acquant the Genius at his third visit with the
danger which impended over him. The Genius adj
mitted the validity of his representations, and gave
him on the spot fifty gold dinars to rebuild his ha
bitation. 'How happy am H. said he to himself,
Sin having such benefcent Genius, who voluntarily
supplies me with every necessary Thanks to his
bounty shall never more suffer want. He will not
refuse me any thing for shall never apply to him
but for absolute neutrality-suspicious. will ne

moves into it with all his handsomest furniture. He
seats himself first on one, then on another soft
cushion sometimes throws himself on his bed which
he scarcely quits, and thinks with JOY of the add-

ions. The piece isin the following words :
But there is neither head or tab to it, to

"The question Of the power of Con

tion whether the people Of this Union, ia

After "a deliberate and impartial exsmi-

no proof of the deduction of the Enquirer,
that Mr.. Adams comedies the proposition
