and never within bis knowledge had that
friend been guilty Of wrohg action, Tor
he was frank, generous and noble IN all ms
impulses, and though recF less and wild, still
firm and steadfast in honor. In his heart
he felt that he had been guilty Of blister
ing lie, and he would have given worlds TO
have blotted from memory the last few
hours of oxistence-sleep he could not until
he had atoned for the wrong.
The outlines Of the trees grew more and
more distinct in the increasing light Of
morning, finding him still, keeping his wca-
" vigil. Nor had his friend risen from his
bed refreshed by calm and peaceful SUM
Der. He had tossed uneasily until the
dawning of day, and he came forth as
haggard and unhappy as the other. Sud
denly they met--they could scarcely pass
by in silence.

THE CASTELAR, CAPTIVE.

The ttunders of Achmet Pacha's artille-
nv ceased to shake the towers Of Temes-
war, which the rebel Sui Bey had long
held out against the Porte. The fortune of
the day had been decided by fall on the
part of the Notifications; and the young
and fiery General of the Sutan's troops,
bearing down all opposition, made himself
master of the fortress; and pursued Sui
Bey into his harem, whittier in despair he
had taken refuge.
The helpless and affrighted females
crowded around their master with loud
cries for protection, when they saw the
hitherto inviolate portals of their apart
ments burst open by the fierce Achmet.--
The vretched Suli Bey, prostrating himself
on the ground, buried his face in his gar
ments, and awaited his fate in silence.
Achmet, whose first intention had been
to plant his foot on his bsdy, and strike off
his head, felt his arm arrested in spite of
himself by glance of a dark-eyed slave.
The silent language in which the emotions
of the soul are conveyed, is understood by
all, and Achmet read in the eyes of Castillo
such horror and detestation of the deed he
was about to perform, that although he
would not own to himself that her opinion
was of the slightest Importance, he suffered
that look to change his purpose, and instead
ofbecomns himself the executioner of Sui
Bey he beckoned his mutes to perform his
will upon him.
The awful silence that followed this trans,
action was succeeded by the frantic out
c,ries of the ladies of the harem, who full OF
terror for their own safety, fastened to i'm
plore the mercy of their new lord. Achmet
,ondescended to return his scymetar to its
1ath, and assured them of their security

PHILOSOPHICAL ANALYSIS Of DANCING.-
The sum and,substance Of the matter seems
to be on y this: ~ party Of ladies and
gentlemen (who elsewhere passed for "a
tional and intelligent beings assembled at
the ballroom. They soon array them
selves in opposing lines. Presently
young lady jumps up from the floor, shakes
one foot and comes down again. Again
she springs up and the other foot quivers.
Then she turns round in her place. springs

N A TU r E T..

Ask of the ocean waves that burst
In music on the strand
Whose murmurs load the scented breeze
That fans the Summer land;
Why is their harmony abroad
Their cadence in the sky,
That glitters in the smile of God
In mystery on high!
Question the cataracts boiling tide,
Down sloping from above
Why its proud pillows, far and wide
In stormy thunders move!
1t is that in their hollow voice
A tone of praise is given,
(which bids the fainting heart rejoice
And trust THE MIGHT OF HEAVEN!
And ask tho tribes whose ma:in song
Mets on the dewy air,
Why, like stream that steals along,
Flow forth their praises there
Why, when the veil of eve comes down,
win all us starry nouTS,
The night-bird's melancholy lay
Rings from her solemn bowers,
II is some might of love within,
Some impulse from on high.
That bids the nmtin song begin
Or fills the evening sky
With gentle echoes ali its own
With sounds, that on the ear
Fall, like the voice of kindred gone,
Cut off in Youths career!
Ask of the gales that sweep abroad,
When sunsets fiery wall
is crowned with many painted cloud
A gorgeous coronal-
Ask why their wings are trembling then
Ger Natures sounding Tyre,
While the far occidental hills
Are bathed in golden fire?
Oh shall the wide world raise the song
Of peace, and JOY, and love,
And shall mans heart not bid his tongue
In voicefu! praises move!
Shall the old forest, and the wave,
When summon'a by the breeze,
Yield sweet few of solemn praise,
And MAN have less than these?

literally brothers: his own sister better
loved than all earth beside, was the be-
trothed of his friend, and moreover had
grown up companions from childhood For
the first time they had quarrelIed. As she
looked upon the quiet skies and the stars

MTcHANIcs.-If there is any situation
in life truly honorable. It is that of an in
dustrious mechanic who. by his own exer.
tons has established a respectable place in
society; who, commenced in poverty, by
his ski! and perseverance, oveTcomcs every
obstacle vanquishos every prejudice, and
builds up for himself a reputation whose
value IS enhanced to others. And let it be
remembered that this situation is attan,bie

knowledge @; their business. Industry and
virtuous ambition are seldom exerted with
out producing the happiest results.
