SICKNESS sickness is a sort of early
old age; it teaches us diffidence in our
earthly state, and inspires us with thoughts
of future, better than thousand volumes
of philosophers and divincs. 1t gives so
warning concussion to those props of our
vanity, our strength and youth, that we
think of fortifying ourselves thin, when
there is so little dependence upon our out
works. Youth at the very best is but be-
trayer of human life in gentler and smooth
er manner than age: tits like stream that
nourishes plant upon bank, and causes
it to flourish and blossom to the sight, but
at the same time is undermining it at the
root in secret*****When reflect what an
inconsiderable little atom every single man
is with respect to the whole creation, me-
thinks it is shame to be concerned at the
removal Of such trivial animal as am.
The morning after my exit, the sun will
rise as bright as ever, the flowers smell as
sweet, the plants spring as green, the world
will proceed in its old course, people will
laugh as heartily and marry as fast as they
were used to do. The memory of man,
(as It is elegantly expressed in the book of
wisdom) passeth away as the remembrance
Of guest that tarrieth but one day.

AN ExrRAcr.-The Turkish women do
not hide themselves, even before strangers;
but the girls seldom enter the mems room,
although they arc permitted freely to talk
with their fathers guests. i was much
struck with the elegance oftheir shapes and
the regularity of their features: their COM
plexion is as fair as that Of European wo-
men ; as they advance in age the sun
browns them a little; as to their morals,
chastity becomes a necessary virtue, where
even kiss is punished with death by the
father or brother fthe unhappy offender.
could mention several instances Of the eX-
treme severity Of the Turks upon this
subject, but one may suffice. Three bro-
theirs taking ride, and passing through an
insulated valley, met their sister receiving
the innocent caresses of her lover. BY
common impulse they all three discharged
their fire arms upon her, and left their fallen
victim upon the ground, while the lover es-
capped unhurt; my host, Mohammed Ali, up
on being informed Of the murder, sent his
servant to bring the body to his tent, in order
to prevent the Jackalls from devouriug it:
the women were undressing and washing the
body to commit it t" the grave, when slight
breath convinced them that the vital spark
was not yet extinguished; in short the girl
recovered. She was no sooner out Of
immediate danger than one of Ali's sons
repaired to the tent of his friends, the
three brothers, who sat sullen and silent
round the fire, grieving the loss of their sis
ter. The young man entered and saluted
them, and said, "I come to ask you in the
name of my father, for the body Of your
sister, my family wishes to bury her. He
had no sooner finished, than the brothers
rose, crying, F" if she was dead, you would
have taken the body without our permis-
sion." Then seizing their arms, they were
hurrying out Of the tent, in search Of their
still living victim but Mohammed Ali's son
opposed the authority of his father and his
own reputation of courage to their brutal
intentions; he swore he would kill the first
who should leave the tent, told them they
had already sufficiently revonged the recei-
we'd injury, and that if their sister was not
dead, it was the visible protection of the
Prophet that had saved her; and thus he at
last persuaded them to grant his request.
The girl was nursed for three months in
Mohammed Ais family, and married after
her complete recovery to the young man
who had been the cause Of her misfortune.

FOR THE LITERARY CADET.
TO NV MOTHER.

Tho waves and mountains intervene
TO hide thee from my view,
Still, as rove from scene TO scene,
My thoughts oft fly to you.
Dear guardian Of my infant years,
Aud chiljhood's joyous day!
When Hope shone bright, and boyish tears
Thy hand soon wipd away!
But time speeds on, and Fortunes frown
Has driven me from my home;
And yet no joys my labors crown
Still fruitlessIy roam.
My parent! tho the icy world
Regard me with dsdain,
Yet still Hopes banner is unfurid;
Some JOY is mixed with pain.
Time yet may come, when on thy breast,
Bright tears OF JOY III weep;
And, after some few years Of rest,
Then calmly sink to sleep. Oscar.

those who had heard them, he would ask
why, since she was dead, God had the cru
city to keep him, her husband in life, and f.
nally and last of all, he imagined himselfin
Grassmere Churchyard, and clasping
little mound on the green, which 1t was
evident he thought was her grave, he
wept over it for hours and hours, and kiss
ed it, and placed a stone at its head, and
sometimes all at once broke out into fits
of laughter, till the hideous fainting fits re-
turned, and after long convulsions, left him
lying as if stone dead! As for his bodily
frame, when Lucy's father lifted it up in his
arms, little heavier was it than bundle Of
withered fern.
Nobody supposed that one so miserably
attenuated and ghost like could for many
days be alive, yet not till the earth had re-
volved seven times round the sun, did that
body die, and then it was buried far, far a
way from the Fo,d, the banks Of the Rydal
water, and the sweet mountains Of West
moreland; for after passing like shadow
through many foreign lands, he ceased his
pilgrimage in Palestine, even beneath the
shadow of Mount Sion, and was laid with
lock ofbeautiiul hair, which, from the place
it held, strangers knew to have belonged
to one dearly beloved-close to his heart,
on which it had lain SO long, and was to
moulder away in darkness together, by
Christian hand and in Christian sepulchre.
