lovers. He laid plan, with the other re-
lations of his house, to surprise and wipe out
the dishonourable stain upon their family by
the blood ofthc guilty pair. In effect, they
were nearly surprised together; but, hear
ing an unusual stir in the house at the dead
hour Of night, the lovers suspected the hor-
lible fate that awaited them, and, escaping
by back way, got into gondola, and were
soon among the Dalmatian isles, on the OBJ
posite shore of the Adriatic. Here they
found solitude Of silence and melancholy
not i'll suited to the disposition of lovers.
Ilalf-destroyed buildings and mouldering
walls denoted the fullcn grandeur and decay
of the Roman empire; the proud remnants
of the fallen mistress of the world; now in
habited by wild beasts, or by men scarcely
more humanised. At one view were to be
seen the broken columns and pediments of
the palaces of the Caesars, and tho clay
built huts Of the worthless Heyduks, the
luxurious baths of the Roman natricians,
and the smoky cabins Of the Dalmatian
Doors. But new--an unexpected danger
awaited them. little less drca1ed than that
| from which they had Just before 50 narrow
" escaped. They fell into the hands of a
rest of piraticaI bandtt, who made it their
practice to rob both by sea and land Con-
rad defended himself and mistress with such
desperate courage, as, though soon over
powered, procured him the esteem and res
pcct of the banditti, who, eager to passess SO
courageous commander, oficred him such
terms as, in such desperate state Of affairs,
! il would have been madness to have refused
! uisiutrepiditv at length raised him to the
rank OF their captain. and they were the ter
ror not only Of the Airatic, but OF the Med
iterrancan sca--The daring of those pirates
NAV be guessed from their ventnring int
the harbour Of Constantinople, where, if dis
covered, certain dosth by the most horrible
torments awaited them. But they disguised
themselves and their vessel so we'll. that
they ventured every where to gain informa-
ton, and then pounced upon their unsus-
pecting prey. Their principle rendezvn,i:
was on one oi' the most barren and inacces-
slble Of the naimatian isles, where, if in dan
ger Of being overpowcred, they could pre-
sently cross over to the continent, and eludc
all pursuit among the crags and precipices
of the widest country in the uniyerse.-Cun-
RAIDS rival, with party of his friends, fittet
out stout vessel, and sailed in pursuit o
the fngitivcs, more now though revenge thar
any other passion. He traced the lover:
to their haunts, outbound them too strong tt
be overpowrrcd, and too wary to be entrap
ped; and was compelled to return with hi
revenge ungrathed."

not OF contention, but Of order, and of sound
mind and OF the charity which never faleth'
the Spirit which 'maketh men to be of one
mind in house, Shall not those, therefore
who profess to follow his guidance, be 'harm-
less as doves" Shall they not cultivate the
tenderness and gentleness OF Him to whom
the Spirit was given without measure. Shall
they not put on that charity which is the
bond of perfcctness.' Shall they not re-
member they are 'brethrcr,' and see that
they fall not out by the way9' To those
who arc thus chelishing the graces OF the
Spirit, the 'Sancther' will become a Com
forter'-As the dove brought 20 Noah the in
telligcnce of the waters, so will the Heaven
ly Dove convey to the soul the glad tidings
that the tempest Of eternal wrath no longer
sweeps over her path. Oh, NAV he bring us
the olive-branch of hope and peace May
he bear witness with our spirit, that we are
the children of God! May he shake from
lis wings of silver rift and blessing which
the soul desires or needs And may all men
see that he is with MS, by the zeal of tho
| Spirit lmprest on our lives and tcmpers Al
most every object or individual, brought un-
1 der some new and powerful influence, discov-
ers by corresponding change, the force of
4 the instruments to which it is subjugatetl.
The desert awakes to life and beauty under
the beams ofthe sun. The heavenly bodies
obey the law Of gravity and move on in unin-
terrupted harmony and uncloudcd lustrc.
The poor wandering prodigal sotens under
the influence of mothers love. The slave
discovers a thousand energies and sympa-
thics and powers as ischains fall from him.
And thus in the case of every man really
brought under the influence of the Spirit,
the desert of the mind is clothed with due
virtue; the wandering heart brought back
again to God; the slave to his corruptions OF
corruption] breaks from his terrible bondage
and walks abroad in all the glorious liberty
of the children of God. The moral change,
iguratively described by the Prophet, is ac-
complished: sThe eyes Of the blind shall be
opened, and the cars OF the deaf Shall be un-
stopped: then shall the lame man leap as an
heart, and the tongue ofthc dumb sing; fol
in the wilderness shall waters break out and
streams in the DESERT A new man, in fact
arises under this new and sanctifying inlln-
cnce, clothed in the righteousness and re-
flccting the image Of his Redeemer.

QUANTITY or BLOOD IN ANIMALS.

From DR.. Aidd's Edmburyh Phlosohicai
journal.
Those who have not considered the SUB
iect mus be surprised at the quantity OF
blood which passes through the heart OF any
moderately sized animal in the course OF
twenty four hours. In man, the quantity
of blood existing in the body at any given
moment is probably from so to 40 pints.
OF these an ounce and halt, or about three
table spoonfuls, are sent ort at every stroke;
which multiplied into rs (the average rate
Of the pulse,) gives 1925 ounces, or seven
pints, in minute; j. e. 420 pints, or 25
gallons. in an hour, and 1860 gallons, j. e.
nearly "a hogsheads, in day. Now,if we re-
collect that the whale is said to send out
from the heart at each stroke Is gallons,
the imagination is overwhelmed with the
aggregate of the quantity that must pass
through the heart of that animal in twenty
four hours.
Itis a general law that the pulse of the
larger animals is slower than that OF the
| smaller; but even if we put the pulse OF
the whale so low as 90 in the minute the
quantity circulated through the heart cal
culated at fifteen gallons for each rnlsatlon
will be $4,000 gallons, equal to 5000 hogs
heads in q hours. The consideration oi
tins amazing quantity is, however, subject
OF mere empty wonder, if pot acconpalncd
with the reflection, that in order to produce
the aggregate amount, The heart is kept in
constant motion: and that in fact, it is in
ccssantly beating as it is termed, or throw
ing out the blood into the arteries, from the
first period of our existence to the moment
OF our death, without any sensation OF IA
tigue, or even without consciousness, except
ing under occasional corpcreal Or mental as
itatiou.

tested with many bitter execrations, that
she should not cross her threshold. In this
desperate situation our heroine had recourse
to a decisive evpedcnt. Almost beside her
self, he drew her husbands sword, and
pointing it to the woman's breast, declared
that she would run it through her heart,
nnless she Immediately admitted her hus-
band. Terrified at this unexpected menace,
the other complied and the patient was car
ried into the house, which previously con-
tanned fifteen wounded. His wife, however,
perceived with horror, that her beloved
charge manifested not the least sign of life.
The bystanders advised her not to give her
self any farther trouble about him, and Of
fered 10 lay him out for dead To this she
positively refused to agree: and laying him
in the bed, she necessarily rubbed his stiff
ened body, and with tea spoon administer
ed some wine, the only medicine within her
reach. With the following morning, the
expiring spark began to revive, and her Joy
was unbounded. She continued her atten-
tions, and in few days had the inexpressi-
bic satisfaction to see him cut of danger
She now obtained distinct apartment oi
her landlady, who began to behave with
more Kindness than at first When her hus-
band was sufficiently convalcscent, she ven
tured to take Inn to Ncumar..t, to complete
his recovery-Unfortunat during hei
absence, one of their two children, !nc
boy, was taken ill., and him her materna
care was unable to save. In the beginnna
of February, her husband again returned te
resume his pcrilous duty with his battalioI
before Glogau.

From a London haher.
TIE ABERDEEN PROVOST.


Every one who knows any thing about
Scotland-and it any does not know about 1t
let him read the London Morning Chronicle,
For it treats of little clse--must have heard
Of the venerable and ancient city OF Abcr-
decn---thc York shire Of Scotland--the quin-
tesscnce of keenncss and llnowingness among
keen and knowing people. Once upon a
time it struck the good people Of Aberleen,
that it would not only add TO their dignity,
but also-what TO them was tlearer iar--to
their profit, that West Indian ship should
sail direct from their port for Jamaica.
They had long looked with an envious eve
upon the profits of the highfcd punch-con-
suming burgesses of Glasgow, and girldged
them the accumulated treasures won
from the navigation Of the Atlantic. They
considered within themselves that every
pound of sugar which snitened the tea of the
fair, or seasoned the toddy the sagcs OF the
city paid an indirecttaX to those ruin bib
bing varlets, and they resolved in their own
minds that this was a growing evil rhat must
be abated; SO after much consultation, they
formed this magnanimous resoiution--that
they should possess the means Of supplying
themselves with such outlandish luXuries as
added to the profit of the Glas%owegians.
But the worthless Of Arbcdccn are cautions
rs we'll as ambitious, and to them the West
Indies was terra iacognita. The specula-
tion promised we'll; but still there was risk;
and risk was not to be rashly incurred. At
ter many mature consultations therefore,
and a great consumption Of thought and tod
t!v, Il was resolved that ship should be
built, manned and equipped, to undertake !,
voyage, (Which they looked upon as in the
last degree doubtful and daagcrous,) by a
kind of Joint Stock Company, Of which the
Provost patriotically consented TO become
the head.
The ship was built, manned, and, with
the prayers of all the churches of the city,
set out on her voyage, commanded, as the
bills of latling piously expressed it, "nndcr
God, by Andrew Skcne, MASTER" and all
was hope, but mixed with trembling
throughout the city. She was named after
the wife of the Provost( Ga singularly sweet
and excellent woman) "rhe Lovely Griz-
EEL" but was known 60 the burgesses by the
more endearing diminutive Of The Boaty.' =
Week after week and month after month
passed away, doubts and fears were hintcd

.1Nop art gone to he land Of the leol"
BY BERNARD BARTON.
Thou art gone to the land of the leal, and the
bell
Is mournfuliy tolling thy funeral knell;
Within the dark coffin is pilow'd thy head,
And without it the pail for a covering is spread;
from the home which thy presence has SO long
endcar'd,
Where thy smiles were beloved, and thy worth
was rcverd
TO the last earthly home, where thy relqucs
shall rest,
Thou art iourncying in peace!-Be thy memory
blest!
And blest it shall be: for thou dost not descend
10 the cold grave unhonour'd, the grief Of
each friend,
The Sigh of the poor, and the sorrow of those
Who have known thee longest, attended thy
close.
OH often before me thy image shall pass,
Like shadow reflected from memory's glass;
With thy time -svercd locks, and those spirits,
whose play
Secm'd fresh from the fount of lfe's earliest days
And the vision, thus brought, to my bosom shall
Ever welcome, if bearing the semblance of thee!
