AN E ASTERN TALE.
FROM THE STAR OF FLORIDA.

PROM THE STAR OF FLORIDA.
There is an Eastern story, which gives
an account of a certain gem, or precious
stone. So entirely perfect as to be indies
trnctlble by any human agency. 1t was,
consequently, greatly esteemed, and held
at price of infinite value.
At length it became the property of Il
wealthy merchant; who, on dying, be-
quealhcd it to his only son, as his prin-
cipal palrmony.
For time the young merchant con-
sidercd himself the wealthiest man in
Bagdad. lie could at any moment have
disposed of his valuable jewel, at the near
est Bazaar, for a sum sufficient to have
bought up whole street of common
merchants, with all their merchandise, to-
gether with innumerable caravans from
the, lndias, with the rarest silks, spices,
and olher goods. And the Great Caliph
HIMSELF it was supposed, would have
shared his throne with any one for the
possession of it.
But at length the young merchant be-
eaiiie uioc'DteHleu WIFI HIS treasure. Al
ter all said he to himself, if this stone
should not be what the opinion of the
world has so long held it to be! What,
if instead of being indestructible, as it is
said to be, it is susceptible of being crush
ed by single blow of the hammer! In
stead of being proof against the influence
of the most intense heat, what If the fire
might blacken and delace it.
Thus tormented with suspicious which
had never entered the breast of any previ-
Gus proprietor of the rare gem, its pos
session, instead of satisfaction, a pride,
and an honor became to the young mer-
chant only a source of d!squiet, of care,
and anxiety. He was continually haun-
ted with an overweening desire TO try er-
periments upon 1t. Suppose, says he,
were to place it under the hammer, and
prove whether or no it be capable of re-
sisting the efforts of mechanical force!-
Or were to place il, in the furnace for a
few days, and see whether or no it can
Withstand the influence of intense heat!
In this state Of mind he consulted with
an old Dervise, who had been the friend
and counsellor of his father. ssBe salts
fed, my son." said he, ''with your trea-
sure. Do not all men believe it to be
perfect Is not its value in the market

AFFECTING, NERy!-A romantic lady,
with the scrlbbling mania strong upon
her, made a fashionable tour some time
since, of which she wrote an account, and
from which we make TIE following ex-
tract as an illustration of the sublImitv
ridiculous IN writing. Describing a storm
to which she was exposed on board YES
sci, she says:
sin spite of earnest solicitations to the
contrary, persisted upon remaining upon
deck, although the tempest had now in =
creased to so frightfu! hurricane, that ii

This moroccan is, however, excelled, in
tie ludicrous, by the following parental
appeal in the shape of an advertisement
published in an English newspaper:

now as great as it possibly can be, after
1t shall have resisted all your experiments?
BE not the first to throw suspicion on
your own fortune-the gift of the pro-
phet."
But the young man listened not to the
advice of the old Deryise. lie subjected
his gem to the test of the fire and the
hammer. For a while it resisted all his
efforts to delace or to injure it; and it
seemed to deserve fully the reputation it
had so long borne. But the more the
precious gem resisted his efforts to des-
troy it, and the more it seemed to approach
its reputed perfection, the more was the
amb ton OF the silly merchant excited to
try new experiments on it. He went to
work and built very expensive machinery,
with new combinations of mechanical
powers, for the purpose of subjecting it
to more trying tests. All being ready,
the precious gem was placed in position
to be most easily affected by the accumu-
lated force Of the machinery, and the ex-
pertinent was made. The result was soon
ascertamed. The costly stone was ground
to powder!
''Did | not do WE'LL" said the young
merchant to the Dervise, "when | sus>
pected that this bauble was not the thing
it had been cracked up to be?"
''Truly, my son,' answered the Der
wise, '!your experimental have prospered.
and you have become beggar fer your
pal MS. Allah is great: he has punished
you with success in your endeavors to
undermine your own fortunes, and delace
the brightness and perfection of his own
gifts"
The young merchant passed away amid
the jeers and taunts of the byslanders.
Now it seems to us that very useful
moral may be drawn from the Eastern
story.
Has not the conduct of those wicked
politicians, who have experimental upon
the CREDIT of the country until they have
destroyed it, been very much like the
course Of the silly young merchant Of
Bagdad, who ground his peerless jewel to
powder only for the sake of showing that

The people of this country possessed
a currency based upon credit, which was

magic; the forests gave place to fertile

From the Northern Light
Mutual Compassion.

BY MRS. c. A. JEwETT.
Hast thou c'cr true heart grievcd,
BY one careless tonc'
Win it back again, before
Another day is gone.
To-moIrow!-trust ii not-for then
Thou may'st long in vain,
For one cheering word from lips
That meier will speak again.
Life is full ofsorrow-
Many secret grief
Weighs the heart, to which, alas
Time brings no relief.
Struggles, that no friend can share,
Weakness unrevealed,
Passion burning fcrcer, far,
Because SO close concealed.
Fearful cravings ofremorse;
Weary loads of care;
Wrecks of many youthful hope;
These are everywhere.
Look we each within ourselves,
Sorrows past recall;
1t will teach our hearts to feel
Sympathy for all.
Life is full of sorrow!
Which no words can tell;
We may pine in loneliness,
Though IN crowds we dwell.
Warnings we cannot suppress;
Hopes we dare not name;
We feel weight upon us press
And know not whence it came.
These though not the gloomy ills,
Which the eye can see,
Still have power to weigh us down,
Aye, increasingly!
These, tho all seem bright without,
Make the spirit drear;
A pang-no language can reveal
A grief without tear.
Blame them not who say to thee,
Life burthen seems;
Though thine eye discern no clouds,
Darkening pleasures beams:
Blame them not; for hid from thee
Many source of pain;
Seek, thou, rather to restore
Light and joy again.

SATURDAY NIGHT.
BY CHARLES p. lLsLEY.

How many associations, sweet and
hallowed, crowd around that short SEN
tence, Saturday night 1t is indeed but
the prelude 10 more pure, more hol, ,nc re-
heavenly soclallons, which the. tired
frame and thankful soul halls with new
and renewed Joy at each succeeding re-
turn,
IT'S then the din of busy life ceases
that cares and anxieties are forgotten;-
that the worn out frame seeks its needed
repose, and the mind its relaxation from
earth and its concerns-wilh Joy looking
TO the coming day Of a rest, so wisely and
beneticcnlly set apart, for mans peace and
happiness by the great Creator.
The tired laborer seeks now his own
neat cottage, to which he had been a s.ran-
ger perhaps the past week, where loving
wife and smiling children NEE, him with,
smiles and caresses.
Here he realizes the bliss of hard-earn-
ed comforts; and at his time, perhaps
more than any other, the happiness of do.
m este life and its attendant blessings.
Released from the distracting cares of
the week, the professional man gladly
beholds the return of Saturday night and
as gladly seeks in the clustering vines
nourished by his parental care, the reality
OF those joys which are only his to know
at these peculiar seasons and under these
congenial .circumstances-so faithfully
and wildly evnced by this periodical
acme of enjoyment and repose.
The lone widow, too, who has tolcd
on, day after day to support her little
chargc-how gratefully does she resign
her cares at the return of Saturday Night
and thank her God for these kind resting
places in the way ofliie, by which she is
encouraged from week to week, to hold
on her way.
But on whose ear does the sound of
Saturday Night strike more pleasantly
than the devoted Christian? Here he
looks up amid the blessings showered
upon him, and thanks God with humble
reverence for their continuance.
His waiting soul looks forward to that
morn when, sweetly smiling, the great
Redeemer burst deaths portals and COM
pleted mans redemption. His willing
soul expands at the thought of waiting on
God in the coming day; and gladly for
gets the narrow bounds of time and its
concerns, save spiritual, that he may
cast on joys ever new-ever beautiful
ever glorious-ever sufficient to satiate
the joy-fraught soul that rightly seeks its
aid.
1t leads him to the Lamb of God for pro-
lection; and nationally points out the way
to joys on high-an endless Sabbath
perpetual rest for the vigilent, the watch
full, the faithful
