THE AGA OF THE JANJZARIES.

Thirty years after the disappearance
of Hassan Garamata from the Turkish
Camp, a party Of Italian artists roaming
in the mountains of Thessaly were hos
ptably entertained by an old Marabout,
who on their return accompanied them
to Genoa, and turning Christian was in
stalled in convent. There he eremained
for some months, going through his aiUes
and miserieordes with rigour and punctu-
ality that prodigiousIy eoifed the brother
hood. He was the admiration Of the wo-
men too, for hls statue and countennnce
had scarcely felt the effect of years, fur
ther than in slight bend in the one, and
paleness and thinncss in the other. But
his eye was the eagles still, and his step
had the loftiucss and stride Of the noun
taineer and as he passed through, the
streets with his bare head, venerable by
few silver locks at the side, and his fine
bold physignomy, he inevitably caught
the eye of ssrangers.--sss He was
found dead in his cell. one morning. ,ss's

was abjuring him. She was pledging

pleading with her parents. She was
lamenting the bitter misfortune of the
beauty which had exposed her to my dis
astrous love. She was drawing the con-
trast between my almost kingly opu-
lence, and her loyer's obscure means,
and rejoicing in the powcr of thus con-
vincing him that she could abandon the
world for his sake.

THE LION AND THE BEAR.

The New Orleans Emporium of the
23d ult has this article -
We were yesterday informed that on
Tuesday last Bear was taken to the
Menagerie now exhibiting in this city,
and let down into the cage of an African
Lion. twenty-four years of aye, with the
belief that it would be Immediately torn
to pieces. Many people assembled un.
der the awning which encompasses the
exhibition to witness the scene, but all
were disappointed and struck with as
tonishment, for although the Bear, so
soon as he had reached the bottom ofthc
cage, placed himself in fighting posi-
tion and once or twice flew at tile Lion,
with the apparent intention to commence
the battle, the Lion did not attempt to
inJure 1t, but on The contrary, after some
time had elapsed, placed his paw on the
Bears head as if to express its pity for
Its helpless situation, and evinced every
disposition to cultivate friendship.
Having heard and read much Of tho
Lions nobleness OF disposition, and un-
derstanding that the Bear was still in the
cage, prompted by curiosity, we visited
the Menagerie this morning and actually
saw them together. The Manager of
the Lion tells us that since the Bear has
been put into the cage, no person has
dared to approach it, and that the Lion
had not slept for three days, but con-
tinues constantly awake to guard his
weaker companion from danger. The
Lion, says the munnger, suffers the Bear
to cat of whatever is thrown into the
cage until he has enough, but will scarce
ly touch food himself.
During the time that we remained. the
Lion once or twice walked to the end Of
the cage opposite to that in which the
bear was lying, and some person mo-
toned his hand towards the Bear, but SD
soon as the Lion saw Il, he sprang to the
Bear, and kept his head resting over It
for some time-he was so fatigued him.
self with watching, tha, as soon as be
lies down he falls asleep, but awakes a
gain at the first noise that is made, and
springs to the object of his care.
This seems to us astounding indeed.
and will no doubt attract the notice of
naturalists.

The pord "Fdst," is as great con-
tradiction as we have in the language.
The Delaware was fast, because the ice
was immovable and then the ice disap-
peared very fast for the contrary reason
lit was loose. A clock is called fast,
when il goes quicker than time but a
man is told to stand fast when he is de-
sired to remain stationary. People fast
when they have nothing to eat, and cat
fast, consequently. when opportunity

CHILDHOOD.

.4ecording to The Theory Of Vordssorth.
The hours Of childhood, where are they!
Conc like a CLEAN Of light,
And to the thoughtful much they say,
Much which is pure and bright.
Yes, they are gone but still they seem,
When man doth wander back,
As recollections Of dream,
Or sparks in mctoor's track.
How many things We used to do.
Upon The ice we slid,
And scratchd il with the bright nail'd shoe,
When We To school were bid.
We made the snow. ball round and nice,
And hurled il at our friend,
Or threw him down upon the ice,
The way ourselves did tend.
We raised tho laugh upon our mate,
When on the ice he came
And smiled 10 see him rub his pate,
Or limp little lame.
Fine sports wero these in winter too,
When snow was on tho ground,
And cold winds DER the country blew
With drear and moaning sound.
In spring, forth to the fields we went,
And watched the small birds build,
And gazed, with little minds intent,
Till with ambition filed.
Or looking Win genie stare
Into our playmates eye,
We laughed to SEQ 80 painted there,
Our own identity.
When summer came with breezes fair,
We took our paper kite,
And strove to raise il in the air,
Its monstrous weight in spite;
We tumbled down upon the ground,
And struck our little knee,
Again we jumped up safe and sound,
And played right merrily.
When autumn came, with cheek quito brown,
Upon the boughs we sat,
And threw the good red apples down,
Into our comrades hat
And as we tried adown TO come,
Out ofthe apple tree,
Our little limbs did trcmble sono,
With all our bravery.
The hours Of childhood now have fed,
| As bright stars erst they came,
And round our younger years they shed
A pure aud holy flame.
But they must ly, as all mnst know,
Thy're fragile things and weak,
They come as quick, as quick they 60,
| As dmples on the check.

first settlers. 1t formed a safe and COM
modious harbor after passing into its
mouth. The town was built about the
head Of the pond, where the remains Of
the cellars are visible to this day. This
pond lies on the east side Of the farm
owned by Jeremiah Clifford at Bristol

laid out on the east side Of the Island

requitted her Of the crime Of giving me
the semblance of heart. Itook myself
to task for the rash precipitancy with
which had wooed her. for the proud
and lavish proposa!s which had influ-

fierce and violent determination to mako
myself happy, when it might be at the
