THE MISER PUNISHED.

We extract the following specimen of Turkish
tales from the Nouveau Journal Asiatque for May:
Under the reign of the first caliphs, there was
merchant at Bagdad, equally rich and avarcious.
One day he had barganed with porter to carry
home for him large basket of porcelain vases tor
ten paras. As they went along he said to the man.
My friend, you young, and am Od-you can
still penty-strike off, / entreat you, a pa
ra from your hire. Willingly replied the porter.
This request repeated again, and again, UNTIL
when they reached the house, the porter had only
single para to receive. As they went up the STAIRS
the merchant said, Ifyou will resign the last para.
| will give you three pieces of advice. Be it so,
said the porter. Well, then,' said the merchant
II any tells YOU is better to be fasting than
feasting do not believe him; any one tells you 1t
is better to be poor than rich, do not believe HIM
if any tells YOU it is better to walk than to nde
do not believe him. MY good sr,' replied the as
tonished porter, knew these things before o,'
YOU will listen to me. will give you advice su1n az
YOU never heard. The merchant turned ro"nu' "'"
the porter throwing the basket down ihe s'','odse ~
said to him. sIf any one tells YOU thai one 0, your
vases remains unbroken, do not believe MN. De-
fore the miser could reply the porter made his es
cape.

Tnn LANGUAGE OF Low.

There's language that's mute there's silence that speaks
There il something that cannot be tod
There words that can only be read on the checks
And thoughts but the eye can unfold.
There's a look expressive, 20 timd, so kind,
SO conscious, quick 10 impar;
Though dumb, in instant il speaks oat the mind,
And strikes in moment the heart.
This eloquent silence this converse Of soul
In vain attempt to suppress;
More prompt il appears from the wish TO control,
More apt the fond truth TO express.
And oh the deliehtiu the features tba shine
The raptures the bosom that melt
When blest with each other this converse divine,
Is mutually spoken and felt.

We take it for granted that they will so far favor
the people as to assign the reasons why this no

man is to be waged. We presume the National
Republican, leader of the Jackson Party of Ere

ward on the important occasion, and add to the
obligations he has already conferred upon Mr..

feeling of pride will prevent rejecting men in

1t is not perhaps generally known, even

costly Greenhouse in the United States This
splendid structure is going up in Watertown at

BILE, now the property OF a wealthy merchant
recently from China. Strong over these
grounds not long since, We looked with surprise
at the style and magnitude of this building as
as also Of other Improvements now in progress:
its length will extend to nearly 400 feet, its
width in proportion, and will cost when COM
plete, with all its apparatus for heating, water
ing. and other purposes, little short of twenty
thousand dollars. Its contents will embrace an
exceedingly numerous and rich collection of
fruits, flowers and shrubs, native and exotic,
costing perhaps half as much more. One dvi-
sion of the building is to be appropriated, We
understand, to the culture of pine apples, fruit
seldom attempted in this country, yet capable,
some say, of being brought to as great perfec-
ton here, by aid Of artificial heat, as in its ma
tive clime.-Boston Atlas.
