This appeal had the desired effect; both
the mother and the son were spared to be
conducted to slavery. The most extraor-

TURKISH LIBRARIES

There are thirty-fve publick Libraries
at Constantinople, one at every imperial
mosque. They are built with taste and
elegance and contain from 1000 to 5000
volumes, bound neatly in red, green, and
black morocco. Excepting on Tuesdays
and Fridays, these libraries remain open
to the publick at all times Of the wear.
Each library is under the care of three
or four librarians, (Hafz Kutub,) who
spend the day there, and receive most
politely whoever enters. Every body is
permitted to use what book he pleases. to
make extracts, or even copy the whole
book, provided it be done in the library.
TOR the rules of these institutions do not
allow books to be carried out of the
building. At each of the libraries a very
exact catalogue of the books is kept, con-
tanning the title and subject of every vol
ume. The Sultan's library contains about
$1,000 volumes.

INSECT SAGACITY.

The banbul tree affords curious spec
linen of insect sagacity, in the caterpillar
nest, suspended by thousands to the
branches. This little animal, conscious
of its approaching change, and the neces-
sity of security in its helpless state as a
chrysalis, instinctively provides itself a
strong mansion during that metamorphosis.
As a caterpillar, it is furnished with very
strong teeth; with them it saws off mum.
Der of thorns, the shortest about an inch
long, and CLUES them together in a conf
cal form, the points all tending to one d.
rection, the extremity terminating with
the longest and sharpest. This singular
habitation is composed of about twenty
thorns, for the exterior, lined with coat
of silk, similar to the cone of the silk-worm,
suspended to the tree by the strong liga-
ment of the same material. In this asy-
lum the banbul caterpillar retires to its
long repose and, armed with such formi-
dable weapons, bids defiance to birds,
beasts, and serpents, which might other
wise devour it. When the season of
arrives, and the chrysalis is
to assume new character in the papilio
tribe, the insect energies from the fortress,
expands its beautiful wings, and, with
of futtering companions, releas-
ed at the same time from captivity, sallies
forth to enjoy its short-lived pleasures.

A GRECIAN HEROINE.

A GREClAN HEROlNE.
Sophia Condulimo was the wife of an
officer of distinction, who fell during the
siege of Missolonghi. When the Turks
entered the town, she was among the
crowd who sought to escape the fury of
the enemy by quitting the walls, accom-
panied by her son and daughter. They
had not proceeded far, when the mother
perceived party of Turks coming to-
wards them: Mortified at the fate that was
about to befall her daughter, a beautiful
girl of sixteen, she turned to the son, who
was armed, and told him to shoot his
sister, lest she should become victim
to Turkish brutality The youth instant
ly obeyed the dreadful mandate, drew a
pistol from his girdle, and lodged the con-
tents, four large slugs, in his sisters head,
when she fell to the ground, apparently a
lifeless corpse. Thus relieved from a
charge which the mother could not pre-
serve, herself and son endeavoured to
take refuge in cavern. Just as they
were entering it, a grape-shot struck the
boy in the leg. Scarcely had the mother
succeeded in dragging him after her, than
picquet of Turkish cavalry came up;
one Of the party, drawing forth a pistol,
pointed it at the temple of poor Sophia,
who, suddenly rising up, looked sternly at
the Turk, and exclaimed, Barbarian

MISSISSIPPI GUARDSw

The traveller and historian, so far as
am informed, have passed by unnoticed
one OF the most useful of all the various
tribes of insects, the Mississippi Guards
In Mississippi, and the States in the same
parallel, there are large tracts of country
which abound with such numerous swarms
of horse flies, that the herds of cattle
would be compelled entirely to desert theil
pasture grounds were it not for the kind
protection they receive from the Missisippi
Uuards. The Guards inhabit the dries,
and hottest sand knobs. They live on
the various species of flies which infest
the stock. They resemble very much the
yellow jacket, both in size disappearance
there are, however, larger and smaller
guards, adapted to the different kind of
flies on which they prey. The earth for
some distance around the sand-hill that
constitutes their barracks, is trodden firm
ly by the cattle of the neighbourng coun-
try, forming what the herdsman calls a
stomp. Hither the cattle repair with wild
and headlong fury whenever they are be-
set beyond further endurance with the
large horse flies and other tribes of in
sects that infest their pasture grounds.
At the sound of their approach, the guards
turn out of their subterraneous barracks
and parade over their sand hill, moving to
and fro, resembling swarms of bees. So
soon as the infatuated herd of cattle ar
rive, they arrange themselves around the
sand hill, and become almost as still as
statues, though literally covered with flies,
which are drawing blood from almost eve
ry pore not COW is seen even to switch
her tale. At this moment the guards sally
forth on the flies which cover the cattle.
Each guard seizes fly clips off his wings
in the first place, jerks out the protocols,
though buried in the skin of the beasts,
and bears off the fly, struggling wingless
prisoner, to the sand hills, and there
scratches hole in the sand, drags in the
criminal, and by means of a peculiar
shuttle of the hind feet, covers up the
hole as he descends, and in an instant the
guard mounts up through the sand in a
different place, leaving the poor fly buried
alive. He again proceeds to the cattle in
quest of another. In short time, not a
fly of any description can be seen. The
cattle, under the vigilant protection of
their guards, at length lie down and chew
the cud in peace. A gentleman who has
a large stock of horses and cattle, has
been so fortunate as to have his pound
selected by company of guards for 'helr
place of abode. He is never under she
necessity of having his cattle or horses
driven up to the pound, they always come
of their own accord, to rid themselves of
the large horse flies with which that whole
vicinity abounds. The guards are always
found at their post, ready to seize the
blood-thirsty tormentors of the cattle, and
to inflict on them punishment, the same
with that which Numa Pompilius first In
stituted for the vestal Virgins who should
break their vow.-Missisippi GALAXY.

SUPERSTITION. Superstition has, per-
haps, more touching origin than is gem
orally known. 1t arose, according to Ci>
Zero, from the tenderness of parents to
their children, and the grief of having
lost them" qui totadie precabantur ct
immolabant ut sibi sui liberi superststes
essent, superstitiosi SAINT appeltoti'-those
who pray and sacrifice every day that
their children may remain to them, are
called superstitious. Superstition was
connected with the glory, patriotism, and
government of Rome. 1t has often been
the powerful medium of civilization.
Numa, in speaking in the name of the
goddess Egeria, brought under the SUBJ
lection of the laws the savages of Rome'
Plutarch, the most superstitious of men,
thinks that superstition is more dreadful
