ADVENTURE OF A JANIssARY.-A circum-
stance, which lately occurred at Constan-
tinople, serves to show the detestation in
which the crime of treachcry is held in the
Fast.
An Ousta, or Captain of the Janissares,
having succeeded IN escaping death, at the
time of the destruction of that militia, con-
cealed himself in vault belonging to
house which he possessed in the Vally of
Nightingalcs, at Scutari. There he had
lived since the year 1896 his mother and
sister being the only persons acquainted with
the secret of his retreat. His relations and
friends visited the house, without having the
most remote suspicion of the place in which
he was concealed. For the space of eight
years the family had subsisted on the wreck
of their fortune, but at length their means
were exhausted and they fell into distress.
They gradually disposed of their property,
ill all they possessed was the house the
sale of which would inevitably lead to the
discovery of the fugitive.
! In this extremity the Ous,a determined
to confide his secret to a merchant named
ibrahim, who had once been his intimate
friend, and who was still his debtor for one
half of a bill Of l2 500 piastres. The sis
ter OF the unfortunate Ousta, on presenting
the bond to lbraham, offered to destroy it
for the moderate sum of one thousand pias-
tres. Ibrahim affected great sympathy for
the misfortunes of his old friend, inquired
his place of concealmcnt, swore to keep the
secret, and promised the thousand piastres !;
but the villain Immediately flew to the Ser
asker Pacha and betrayed the Ousta. The
minister heard his story, and after his de-
parture, directed some of his officers to keep
him. A cocdss was then despatched to the
Valley of Nightingales with orders to bring
away the Ousta, and to quiet his alarm and
tha, of his family, by assuring them that
his Excellency the Seraskier pledged him.
self to obtain his pardon.
After much hesitation on the part Of his
mother and sister, the Ousta at length came
from his hiding place, and declared himself
ready 60 follow his guides to the palace of
the Serasker, where he was firmly convin-
,ced that death awaited him. On being
ushcred into the presence of the Minister he
fell on his knees but, in spite of the rags
with which he was covered, his Excellency
raised him up, and desired hin, to take a
, seat by his side. Slaves entered and han
! ded to him pipe and coffee. The Oustu
was overwhelmed with nstonishmcnt. lie
, feared that he was the victim of mystiti.
cation which would only render his impcn.
: ding fate more dreadful. But when a rcl
, dress was brought to him, when two thou.
: sand p'astres were presented to him by ,h,
: Seraskier, aud when l,e was permitted Z,
T return home, his fears were turned to joy
aud he retired invoking blessing, on the Sui
/, tan aud his minister.

DY W. G. SIMMS.

DY W. G. sIMMs.
True loyo, still born Of heaven, is blessed with
wings,
And tired of earth, it plumes them back again.
Aud thus VIC lose it,"
Deep in the bosom of southern forest,
there grew beautiful flower in that lonely
region. Its leaves were Of the purest white
for tho first time unfolding to the world a
round, and revealing, as they did so, the fine
and delicate droppngs of violet and purple,
which before, like SO much hidden wealth,
had lain in its BOSOM. Its odour was fresh
and exquisite, and no flower in all that forest,
could come near it for sweetness or for
beauty. In excellence, as in condition, it
was equally alone.
But it was not destined to be alone al
ways. There came to it one morning in
May, a golden butteray--a rover among
the howcrs-an ancient robber of their
sweets. Gayly he piled his flight through
out the forest now here, and now there,
sporting about in n sort of errant uncon-
sciousness. II was not long before he in
hailed the odor-it was no; long before he
saw the pure white leaves, and looked down
with an anxious eye, upon the rich drop
pings Of purple and violet, which nestled in
the bosom of the flower.
Flying around in mazy, but still contrac-
ting circles, he gazed upon the loveliness OF
the flower, and grew more and more ena-
mored at each moment of his survey
" Surely" he thought, " this is flower
by itscf-love's own fower--dwelling in
secret-blooming only, and budding for his
eyes, and denied to all beside. 1t is my
good fortune to have found it-I viii drink
Il will nestle in its bosom--I will enjoy
its charms as 1 have enjoyed thousand
Others"
Even with the thought, came the quicl,
resolution, and another moment found him
lyiag-lying close and pressed upon the
bosom of the flower. There was a sliyh,
effort to escape from the embraces of thc
intrudcr-thc flower murmured its dissent,
but the n,nrmur died away into a sigh, wa.
inhaled, as SO u,uch honey, by the pressin.

HoRRID EFFECTS OF AvARICE.-An old
man at Pau, in France, having after many
years of toll, amased sum of money
which he considered too large to keep in the
house with safety resolved to place it with
the mayor of the district for security, and
waited upon him for the purpose of asking
bis permission to be allowed so to do, Per-
mission was given by the mayor without
hesitation, and the old man returned with
quiet mind to his house. On the evening
subsequently to his interview with the mayor
gendarme, who lodged in his house, re-
turned home as usual, supped with the old
man and his wife, and then retired to bed.
About midnight knocking was heard at
the door. Who is there Z! was the ques-
ton. "Friends J" was the reply and the
door was opened, when two men wearing
masks rushed in, and demanded of the old
woman, whom they first met, all the money
in the house. She pretended to go and get
it, but at this moment the gcndarme appear
at the top of the staircase, and discharged
two pistols at the robbers, who instantly fell
wounded to the floor. The officer immedi-
ately ran to the house of the mayor, but
he was not at home. He returned to the
wounded men, raised them up, and took off
their masks, when the robbers were discov-

DOMESTIC LOVE.
o love ofloves to thy white hand is given
Ofearthly happiness, the golden key

o love ofloves! to thy white hand is given
Orearthy happiness, the golden key
The subjoined romantic passages of alb
origicdl sentiment and " Welded love-" is
copied from the Baltimore Atheneum
The Romance of Sapage Lie.-Wmle
Black Hawk was on his grand tour through
the U. States his handsome son was pre-
sented by a celebrated lady with very pref
ty silver essence bottle. The Indian receiv-
ed with great satisfaction mark of favor
which IA whole regiment of pale faced ador-
ers would have made any sacrifice short of
their whiskers, and bag'd it with the ut
mos: care. A great many fine speeches
were made upon the occasion, and much
sentiment was enveloped concerning the des-
tiny of the trinket-The lady herself sug-
gested, that in all probability it would be
presented 10 some lovely forest nymph, who
was then anxiously expecting his return,
and would render him the envy of all the
mbOtticd spirits beyond the Mississippi.
We are now happy to inform our fair rea-
ders the gift was faithfully preserved until
the interesting savage returned to his pep
pie. The best evidence of the price he set
upon it. is the fact that he eventually sold it
to a French trader for ten pumkins. We
can also state for the editication of believ-
ers in the romance of" forest" fidelity, that
upon his return, he found his affectionate
and lovely young wife-the wife of another!
She had supposed that her lord and mas
ter was put to death, and had shown her in.
dustry and providence by getting another
without any unnecessary delay. On infor-
nation is undoubtly correct, and may be
relied on as true.
