Anecdote of am Arab Horse.

A most moving incident, illustrative Of tbs
extraordinary strength as well as attachment Of
the Arab horses, is given by Lamarllne, III his
beautiful Travels in the East
San Arab chief, with his tribe, had attacked
in the night caravan of Damascus, and plum
dered it; when loaded with their sPoils, howev-
er, the robbers were overaken in their return
by some horsemen of the Pacha Of Acre, wh'
killed several, and bound the remainder WIZ
cords. In this state Of bondage they brought
one Of the prisoners, named Abou el Marrk, h'
Acre, and laid him, bound hand and foot wuui''
ed as he was, at the entrance of their teni, as
they slept during the night, Kept awake bv
the pain Of his wounds, the Arab heard his
horses neigh at lule distance, and, being de-
sirous TO stroke, for the last time, The compan-
ion of his lie, he dragged himself, bound as hn
was, to his horse, which was pickeied al a lls
lie distance. Poor friend said he, what will
you do among the Turks! You will be shat
up under the roof Of khan, with the horse.

as his hands were tied, he undid with his teeth
the fel,ers which held the courser bound, and
set him at liberty; but the noble animal, on re-
seiring It's freedom, instead of bounding away
to the desert, bent its head over its master, and
seeing him in feiiers and on the ground, took
his clothes gently in his teeth, lifted him up,
and Sc, off at full speed towards home. With
out ever resting, he made straight for the dis
tant bu, well known tent, in the mountains of
Arabia He arrived there in safety, and laid
his master safe down at the feet ofhis wife and
children, and Immediately dropped down dead
with fatigue. The whole tribe mourned him;
the poets celebrated his fidelity; and his name
is still constantly in the mouths Of the Arabs
Of Jericho.".
This beautiful anecdoie paints the manners
and the horses of Arabia better than thousand
volumes. II is unnecessary to say, after it.
that the Arabs are, and eve. will be, the first
horsemen and have The finest race Of horses in
the world.

Power of Industry.

Il was beautiful expression of a Chinese
sage, that, by time and industry mulberry leaf
becomes a silk shawl. If the following state
ment be correct, il affords still more striking
proof Of what human ingenuity can accomplish.
In the manufacture Of steel, an article may be
raised from one half penny to $4,000 guineas!
A pound Of crude iron costs one hall penny; II
is converted into steel, that steel into watch
springs. every one Of which is sold Tor hall
guinea, and weighs only the 10Th OF gram;
after deduc,ing for waste, there are in pound
weight 1000 grains. It therefore affords s.ee
for 10000 watch springs. the value OF which
at half guinea each, is $4,000 guineas.

SURGICAL Operation.

A young woman in Warren county, N j.,
lately underwent the operation of Lytbotomy.
calculus was taken from her, measuring in
its largest circumference l-2 inches. In It's
centre was found, firmly imbedded, stout
darning needle, the sharp poin, of which pro-
jecied five eighths of an inch from the smaller
end of the stone. The weight Of the whole, al
ter being dried, was six hundred and ten grains.
The patient has no recollection Of needle hav-
ing al any time been introduced into her body.
1t must probably have been swallowed in child
hood, and having passed into the bladder there
formed nucleus, around which The calculus
deposited itself. The patient is now GONZALES

StanZas.

II when We meet ne'er betray
BY quivering lip or smothered sigh,
The thoughts that still my bosom sway,
And swell my heart when thou art nigh,
Oh think not that e'er forget
The dream that's past since first we met.
Though meath the curb of wounded pride,
Each pang is in my heart represt,
The anguish from others hide
Still swells within my stormy breast;
And maddening thoughts, and cold despair,
Yet war with deep affection there!
In vain, where gay companions call,
strive to join in social glee;
Or break, mid studious cares, the thrall
That chains my every thought to thee;-
Nor festive friends, nor books, can ever
My soul from thee one moment sever.
To thee when breaks the morning dawn,
My earliest thoughts impassioned turn;
Towards thee, till days last light is gone.
As ardently my heart doth burn;
And through the nights deep hours of rest,
In dreams thine image haunts my breast.
In thee alone, through veal or woe,
NV fondest hopes must centre still;
From only thee my heart can know
Its dearest good-its darkest ILL.,
And though by thy unkindness crushed,
It's every pulse is thine, till hushed.

Another Great Flood at Little Falls.
From tie MoAa.ok Courier, ertra, June 2

FROM the M0hGlok Courier, eItTd, June 20.
Our village has again been the scene of most
devastating flood The little creek that entersthe
Mohawk from the north, passing directly through
the very heart of the village, suddenly rose yes
terday afternoon g about TWO o'clock, owing to a
long continued and extremely violent shower, to a
most unprecedented height, and swept away in its
resistess fury streets, bridges buildings, &C., and
destroying goods and property TO an amount vari-
ously estimated at from ten 10 fifteen thousand dol
lGrsl This vast destruction of property was the
work ofless than one hours time and it will re-
quire the united energies of all our citizens, for
many weeks to restore it.
Not only was property destroyed, but life, in
several instances was imminently endangered
The Hon. A. Beardslee, in an attempt to save
large roll of broadcloth which had hoated from
the store of Messrs. I. Burch & Co., was sub
merged in the torrent and carried, sometimes up
on the surface, at others beneath the food to dis
lance of several rods, until he was finally rescued
| by timely assistance. James Feeter, Esq.,-who
is probably the greatest individual sufferer-owing
to his great exertions in attempting to save his
property, became exhausted and sank resistless in
the water, and was snatched from instant death at
the latest moment He was carried to his house
in state Of partial nsensiblity, but we are happy
to state that he has now nearly recovered.
Had this sudden and awful visitation come up
on us in the night, many lives must have been in
evtably lost There is great cause for rejoicing,
that to the destruction of the flood the horrors OF
night and darkness were not super-added.
Though we have sustained another severe loss
before our citizens had fairly recovered frc,n the
desolang effects of the spring freshet we are con-
fdent that their untiring energies will soon invest
our streets and dwellings with all their accustomed
cheerfulness, activity and prosperity.
