ADEEpLY INTERESTING TARTAR TALE

DEEPLY INTERESTING TARTAR TALE.
BY Miss Pardoe, Author of "Romance of
the Harem," &c. &c.
In the famous city of Schamachie, the
capital Of the province Of Schirwan, in
Persia, lived a merchant named Ali, who
from his immense wealth, was considered
ssa second Karoon. He traded with the
Franks in raw and wrought silks, and the
Wove cottons Of the West; with the Mus
cos!'e dealers in fur, feathers and metals;
WIN the Tartars in horses; and with the

the margin Of the stream, but her heart
grew sick; she felt that, If when the sword
is in the hand Of power, generosity is the
scabbard Of heroes, SO much more should
mercy be that Of woman!
The steed Of Aga was standing, fasien-
ed TO mimosa bush, not fifty PAGES from
her; and with the speed OF lightning she
'disengaged the bride, and sprang upon
his back; but ere she could commence her
fight, second trampling Of horses sound
led through the valley, and at once the
sleeping Arabs yaulted into their saddles,
and shouting to their chiefs, prepared TO
meet the coming enemy. But their chiefs
answered not; they lay prone ard notion
less upon The earth, their faces blackening
in the wind, and the poison oczing from
their parted lips; and the wondering tribe
were yet busted in endeavoring TO awaken
them, when band of holsemen, led by
Mohammed, the son Of Ali, came like a
tbunder-cloud across the valley, sweeping
down all before them.
Zohara was saved! The "Morning
Starr once more lit up the sky OF NOLAN
med's happiness; and the dark-hearted
Aga paid The forfeit Of his treachery.

The PIRATE AND THE DovE.-The
following interesting fact is related by
Audubon, in his Ornithological Biogra-
ply. In speaking of the Zenaida dove,
he says,"A man, who was once apirate,
assured me that, several times, while at
certain wells, dug in the burning shelly
sands of well known quay, which
must be here nameless, the soft and
melancholy cry of the doves awoke in
his breast feelings which had long
slumbered, melted his heart TO repent
ance. and caused HIM TO linger at the
spot in state of mind which he only
who compares the wretchedness Of guilt
within him with the happiness Of former
Innocence can truly feel. He said he
never left the place without increased
fears of futurity, associated as he was,
|although | believe by force, with band
Of the most desperate villains that ever
annoyed the navigation of the Florida
coast. So deeply moved was he by
the notes of any bird, and especially
| by those Of a dove, the only soothing
sounds he ever heard during his life Of
horrors, that through these plaintive
notes, and them alone, he was induced
| to escape fromhis vessel, abandon his
turbulent companions, and return TO
family deploring his absence. After
paying avisit to those wells, and listen
ing once more to the cooings of the
Zenaida dove, he poured out his soul
lin supplication for mercy, and once
more became what has been said tob be
the snoblest work Of God'-an honest
man. His escape was effected amidst
difficulties and dangers, but no danger
seemed to him comparable with the
danger Of ones living in the violation
of human and divine laws, and now he
lives in peace in the mindst Of his
friends"

A very pretty coquette, residing at
St. Adams, had been pre-engaged to a
country gentleman in thatneighborhood
TO accompany HMM ball given at the
Town-hall. Agallantca captain, however,

suaded the young lady to abandon her
previous engagements nfavor ofhimself.
The plain ycoman overheaIing all that
had passed, with a frigid indifference
moved towards card-table and sat
down to a rubber Of whist. The Cap
tain in a few minutes afterwards trip

but that her first engagement would

and short time had elapsed when the

approaching the whist table said, | be-

GarSy's Ferry, March 10, 1899.
My Dear Sr-By advices received from
the South, we have the melancholy intell-
gence of the.death of Capt. Samuel l.. Rus
sell, of the I'd Infantry, a gallant officer
Gods noblest work, an honest man, and an
honest christian; he deserved and enjoyed
the esteem and love Of all who knew him.
He was descending the Miami river on the
2Sth ultimo, on his',way to Fort Dallas,
with part of his company in open boats
the sayages in ambush on the river bank
waited unth he arrived, Within gun shot,
when the boats received a yolleK, from the
Indians, who being on an eminsnce, fired
over them, and no one was injured. r, 80,
Capt. r. Immediately struck for the op-
posite shore, and on reaching it, leaped out
on the ground, and turning round to address
few words TO his men, was instantly fired
at by several rifles, three Of which took ef-
feet, two in his body, and one just above
his temple, producing instantaneous death.
Lieut.. Woodruff, Capt. RS. subaltern, who
was some distance behind, heard the firing,
and fastening 10 the succour of his captain,
engaged tie Indians for nearly an hour,
when he forced them to retreat. He then
collected his boats, and having obtained
possession Of his captains body, proceeded
to FortDallas. The Indians were pursued,
but as usual, their perfect knowledge of the
country enabled them TO escape. Capt.
Russell was clad in the undress uniform of
the infantry, and it was to this that we may
probably attribute his death, as but one man
of the company besides himself was touch
ed The loss Of the Indians was not known,
their number was much greater than has
fought us together for long while. The
remains of Capt. r. was Inferred with mill
itary Ronors on the lst inst. BY intelligence
received from the interior, we learn that Ma
jor Noels wound has proved mortal, and
thus we are compelled at the same lime to
mourn the loss of two brave and efficient
officers, and to acknowledge that in the
midst Of life we are in DEATH"
