FEMALES OF TARTARY.

Some. of the Tartar women wear long
snow-whi.e wells, which conceal not only the
face but the whole Of the head and upper part
of the body; and as if wells were insufficient
to protect them from observation, they no
sooner behold "a man than they hang their
heads, and endeavor to escape notice oy
fight. An English servant observing tins
practice, deemed it to be all act OF rudeness
on his part to give them the trouble OF hid
ing their faces and running away on his ac-
count; therefore, whenever he encountered
them, he covered his face and took to his
heels. in order to hide himself in the first
place he could find. This past unnotced
for some time at length the Tartar women,
struck by the singuarity of seeing man al
wavs avoid them, let fall portion OF their
wells when they next met him; but this only
caused him to run faster than before. Such
conduct excited their curiosity more than
ever, and at last they fairly hunted him: af-
ter following him in parties to his hiding
place with their wells off, they resolved to
see man who for the first time, conceal
ed his face at the approach of woman;
and, having caught him, they actually de-
manded an explanation of his unaccountable
behaviour.

looking OH it for some time in mute amaze
ment-all on a sudden, he uttered loud cry
and exclaimed, Almighty God it is my som
my Sigismund and fell motionless on the
ramparts.
1t was indeed his son, whom the enemy
at the instigation of friend, had surprised
with his nurse and carried away, and had
now placed in front of t,eir army: hoping
through this expedient to be able to ad-
vance to the castle walls without being ex-
posed to the fire of the hostile ramparts.
Their cunning was at first successful; the
besieged, from their love to their adored
commander, dared not discharge single
cannon and the Sweeds approached, undis-
turbed, almost to the foot of the walls and
prepared to scale them. Karlinski at this
moment recovered his senses, but it was only
to suffer greater anguish. He saw the
danger, but no amends of averting it without
a sacrifice too dreadful to think of. i have
lost he cried out in despairing voice,
seven brave sons in battle for my country,
and is this last sacrifice still required from
mel" A death like pause ensned, broken
only by the cries of the child, whose features
now could be distinctly traced, as he was
still carried in advance of the onward NOV

AFFECyIoNATE PREACHING.

"a preacher ought to speak to his audi
ence as father would talk to his children,
with an effectionate tenderness. In the
most awful denunciations of the divine dis
pleasure. an air of unaffected meekness
should be preserved, that while, with un-
sparing fidelity, we declare the whole coun-
sci of God, it may appear we are actuateu
by genuine spirit of compassion. a hard
and unfeeing manner of deneuncing the
threateuings Of the word of God, is not on
ly barharous and inhuman, but calculated,
bv inspiring disgust, to rob them OF all their
efficacy. If the awful part of cur message,
which may be styled the burden of the Lord,
ever fall with due weight on cur hearers,
it will be when it is delivered with tremb-
ling hand and fautering lip; and we may
then expect them to realize its solemn i'm
port, when they perceive that we ourselves
are ready to sni, under it. Of whom have
told you before, said st. Paul, and now tell
YOU weeping, that they are the enemies OF
the cross of Christ. What force does that
affecting declaration derive from these tears!
| An affectionate manner insinuates itself into
the heart, renders it soft and plable, and
disposes il to imbidc the sentiments and fol-
low the impulse of the speaker Whosoev-
er has attended to the effect of addresses
from the pulpit, must have perceived how
much of their impression depends upon this
quality, which gives to sentiments compare
lively trite, power over the mind beyond
what the most striking and original concep'
tions possess without it.

CASPER KAnLIVSIzI.
From The London Literor4 Gazette.

In the course of the sangunlry war which
was CARED on between the Swedes and the
Poles, in the sixteenth century, respecting
the rights of Sigismund the Third, the King
of Poland, to the thron" of Sweden, the Swe-
dish usurpcr prepared to invade Poland with
the whole force of his Kingdom. Sigismund,
unable to make head in the field against the
Overwhelming superiority OF the enemy,
contcnttd himself with reinforcing the gar
risons of his frontier towns, and placing in
the chief command warriors OF approved
courage and fidelity.
Among others, the king selected Casper
Karnski, as one on whom he could safely
rely i'll the emergencies of his situation. He
was a nobleman, then advanced in years, and
renowned among his countrymen, not so
much for his wealth or his rank, as for the
dauntess valor he had frequently displayed
in the service of his native land. He will
lingly obeyed the commands OF his sove-
reign, and repaired Immediately to the for
tress of Olftzvn, the post assigned to him.
A formidable body of the enemy soon
made their appearance before Olttzyn,and
threatening summons to surrender was sent
to Karlinski. His answer was-'l will obey

their mode of attack, and made him the
most splendid offers-a seat in the senate,
the highest rank, and boundless possessions,
it he would surrender Oitzyn and embrace
their party. Karlinski treated their bribes
with greater scorn their threats. The hos
hostile leaders set before him the disprepor-
lion OF the contending forces, the weakness of
his side, and the consequent danger to which
ne exposed himself by his obstinacy. kar-
linski saw only the peril Of his country. and
remained equally infexible. Convinced at
last of his unbending integrity, and confident
of victory, the enemy made furious attack
upon the castle; but through the strength OF
the walls, the bravery of the besieged, and
still more the skill of their gallant COM
mander, they were repulsed with immense
slaughter.
