THE FATAL PREDICTION.

On the summit of St. Vncent's rocks, in the
neghborhood of Clifton, looking on the Avon as it
rolls its lazy course towards the Bristol channel,
stands an edifice known by the name of "Cooke's
Folly" 1t consists of single round tower, and APP
pears at distance rather as the remnant of some
extensive building than complete and perfect edi
fee. as it now exists. 1t was built more than two
centuries ago by man named Maurice Cooke-not
indeed as a strong hold from the arms of mortal
enemy, but refuge from the evils Of destiny
He was the proprietor Of extensive estates in the
neighborhood and while his lady was pregnant

THE CRUSADER


The luminary has at length appeared with new
splendor, and all stars of lesser magnitude must for
a season hide their diminished heads We make
an extract from the first chapter of The TasTnan,
reserving till next week the few remarks we intend
to make upon these tales Boston Spectator.
AS the Knight of the Couchant Leopard CONT
nued to fix his eyes attentivey on the yet distant
cluster of pam-trees it seemed to him as some
object was moving amongst them and beside them
The distant form separated itself from the trees,
which partly hid its motions, and advanced towards
the knight with speed which soon showed
mounted horseman, whom his turban, long spear,
and green caftan floating in the wind, on his near
err approach, showed to be Saracen cavalier. Gin
the DESERT saith Eastern proverb, emo man
meets friend" The crusader totally indf-
ferent whether the infdel, who now approached on
his gallant barb, asif borne on the wings of an ca
gle, came friend or foe-perhaps, as vowed
champion of the Cross, he might rather have pre-
fcrred the latter He disengsged his lance from his
saddle, seized it with the right hand, placed it in
rest with its point half elevated, gathered up the
reins in the left, walked his horses mettle with
the spur, and prepared to encounter the stranger
with the calm sefconfdence, belonging to the VIC
tor in many contests.
The Saracen came on at the speedy gallop of an
Arab horseman, managing his steed more by his
limbs, and the infection of his body, than by any
use of the rens, which hung loose in his left hand,
80 that he was enabled to WELD the light round
buckler of the skin of the rhinoceros, ornamented
with silver loops which he wore on bis arm, swing
ing it as if he meant to oppose its slender circle to
the formidable thrust of the western lance. His
own long spear was not couched or levelled, like
that of his antagonist, but grasped by the middle
with his right hand, and brandished at arms length
above his head. As the cavalier approached his
enemy at full career he seemed to expect that the
knight of the leopard should put his horse to the
sallop to encounter him. But the Christian knight,
The ladies' garland. [volume] (Harpers-Ferry, Va. [W. Va.]) 1824-1828, 1825-08-20

riors, did not mean to exhaust his good horse by
any unnecessary exertion but on the contrary made
dead halt, confident that if his enemy advanced
to the actual shock, his weight, and that ofhis
powerful charger, would give him sufficient advan
tage, without the additional momentum of rapid
motion. Equally sensible and apprehensive of such
probable result, the Saracen cavalier, when he
had approached towards the Christian within twice
the length of his lance, wheeled his steed to the
left with inmtable dextcrity, and rode twice round
his antagonist, who, turning thout quitting his
ground, and presenting his front constantly to his
enemy, frustrated his attempts to attack him on an
unguarded point so that the Saracen, wheeling his
horse, fan retreat to the distance of an hun
dred yards. A second time, like hawk attacking
heron, the Moor renewed the charge, and
cond time was fain to retreat without coming to
close struggle. A third time he approached in the
same manner; when the Christian knight, DESTROYS
to terminate this illusory warfare, in which he
might at length have been worn outby the activity
of his foeman, suddenly seized the mace which
hung at his saddle bow and with strong hand and
uuerrng aim, hurled it against the head of the
Emir, for such and not less his enemy appeared
The Saracen was Just aware of the formidable mis-
sile in time to interpose his light buckler betwxt
the mace and his head but the violence Of the blow
forced the buckier down on his turban, and though
that defence also contributed to deaden its vio-
lence the Saracen was beaten from his horse. Ere
the Christian could avail himself of this mshap, his
nimble foeman sprung from the ground, and calling
on his horse, which instantly returned to his side,
he leaped into his seat without touching the STIR
rup, and reganed all the advantage of which the
knight of the leopard hoped to deprive him. But
the latter had in the meanwhile recovered his mace
| and the Eastern cavalier, who remembered the
strength and dexterity with which he had aimed it,
seemed to keep cautiously out Of reach of that
POM of which he had lately felt the force while
he showed his purpose of waging distant warfare
with missile weapons Of his own. Planting his long
spear in the sand at distance from the scene of
combat, he strung with great address short bow,
which he carried at his back and putting his horse
to the galop, once described two or three Cir
cles of wider extent than formerly, in the course
of which he discharged six arrows at the Christian,
with such unerring skill, that the goodness of his
| harness alone saved him from being wounded in
many places. The seventh shaft apparently found
less perfect part of the arnor, and the Christian
| dropped heavily from his horse But what was the
surprise of the Saracen, when, dismountng to ex-
anime the condition Of his PROSTATE enemy, he
found himself suddenly within the grasp of the Eu-
Iu,r,r
The ladies' garland. [volume] (Harpers-Ferry, Va. [W. Va.]) 1824-1828, 1825-08-20

his enemy within his reach. Even in this deadly
grapple the saracen was saved by his agility and
presence of mind. He Embossed the sword-belt, in
which the knight of the leopard had fixed his hold,
and thus eludng his fatal grasp, mounted his horse
which seemed to watch his motions with the intel-
gence of human being, and again rode off. But
in the last encounter, the Saracen had lost his
sword and his culver of arrows, both Of which were
attached to his girdle, which he was obliged to
bandon. He had also lost his turban in the strug-
gle. These disadvantages seem to incline the Mos
lem to truce he approached the Christian with
his right hand extended, but no longer in mena-
cling attitude.
'There is truce betwixt Cur nations" he said,
in the Lingua Franco, commonly used for the pur-
pose of Communication with the crusaders; 'where-
fore should there be war betwxt thee and me Let
there be peace betwixt u.s."
81 am we'll contented," answered he of the
couchant leopard ''but what security dost thou
offer, that thou wilt observe the trucee'
"The word of a follower ofthe Prophet was ne
yer broken" answered the Emr. cit is thou, brave
Nazarene, from whom l should demand security,
did not know that treason seldom dwells with
courage"
The crusader felt, that the confidence Of the
Moslem made him ashamed Of his own doubts.
"By the cross of my sword" he said, laying his
hand on the weapon as he spoke, 81 will be a true
companion to thee Saracen, while fortune wills
that we remain in company together"
"By Mohammed, Prophet of God, and by Allah.
God of the Prophet" replied bis late foeman,
''there is not treachery in my heart towards thee.
And now wend we to yonder fountain for the hour
of rest is at hand and the stream had hardly touch
ed my lip, when was called to battle by thy ap-
proach."
The Knight of the Couchant Leopard yielded
ready and courteous assent and the late foes, with
out angry look or gesture of doubt rode side by
side to the little cluster of palm-trees.

treatment which he adopted generally observed tina
"nen medical assistance had been called in at the
early stage of the hydrophobia small knots or pustue
appeared under the tongue at the OPENINGS of the snb

was used freely by the patient, he might be saved Mr.
arochett had fourteen patients, twelve of whom had
the Pustues whom he electuay cured by this process
IN SIX weeks, during which period they also drank the
decoction; but the Reviewer nnates that little conf
dence placed in the influence of the decocton in re-
moving the malady
Inns Is the manner in which the disease is treated
from the third TO the ninth days. during which the knots
or Pustules shew themselves If they be not probcd
""mn twenty four hours, the Hydrophobia poison is
eaosoroed INTO the system and the fate of the patient
IS sealed forever On this account the medical alton
dan should regularly every hour examine the month o
the patent, that he may discover them on their first an
pearance But in the earlier stages of the disease so
soon as the wound is inflicted, the Reviewer recon-
mends that be bathed immediately in pure wafer fine
stream oil which issues from the spout of pump of
teakete or syringe. He cautions individuals apainst
suc'ion with the mouth" because instances have oc
CURED In which the application of the poison to the
lips has been knoeh to generate the disease The
bathing IS to be continued till the arrival of the surgeon
who should proceed without delay to the ssexcson of
the injured part, IF it be practicable The flesh in
the neighborhood of the wound should all be carefully
removed, for the smallest portion left might retain s
cent poison for the production of the hydrophobia
Excis'on they observe should be neglected be-
cause few hours have elapsed and in fact should be
performed at any period before the constitutional symp
toms have appeared" When this has been properl,
executed he says "tberc IS perhaps case on record
"here has been followed by the disease" "Caustics,'
ne asserts should never be employed unless the wound
Is on the cheek or neck or in the immediate vicinity or
some important vessels nerves. for they frequently
fail entirely Of success.
