tempted to chastise them, but he met
with defeat, and was obliged TO make
a treaty with them almost upon their
own terms. Pompey overran part
of their country, but his army being
recalled, the Arabs followed them at
the heels ill they left the country, and
then terribly ravaged the Roman terri
tories in their vicinity. In the year B.
c., Gallus, Roman general, sailed up
the Red Sea with the intention of sub
DUNG them, but was defeated; and A..
D. 100, Trajan made another attempt,
and even Designed Petra, their capital,
bat lightning, hail, whirlwinds, swams
of flies, and other miseries, obliged
him to abandon the siege. About A.
D. 500, Severus, twice unsuccessfully
besieged it with powerfully host, and
many engines Of war. For about four
hundred years subsequent to this, we
lind the Arabs alternately allied with
the PerSians and the Romans, but at
no tin1e their tributaries.
In the seventh century, Mohammet,
an Arabian of Hejiaz, arose, propaga-
ted new religion, and with his sword
III one hand and his creed IN the other,
he subdued all Arabia, most of Wes-
tern Asia, all Africa north of the Sene-
gal river, together with Spain, Sicily,
and many European islands, all which
constituted an empire seven thousand
miles in length. Internal wars first,
and finally the ravages of the Tartars,
about the year 1900, reduced the wide
spread empire, and in the next three
centuries the Ottomans, Turks, and
Spaniard, annihilated the remaining
fragments in Africa and Spain. But
Hejiaz, the original country of the Ish-
maelltes, and at this time the Turkish
sultans have to pay them an annual tri-
butte Of forty thousand crowns for a safe
passage to their holy cities, Mecca and
Medina. And, if the payment of this
sum is neglected, the Arabs pay them
selves by robbing the caravans and
companies ofpilgrims; or, as has been
the case within the past and present
centuries, by ravaging portions of Sy-
ria and Mesopotamia. They are now,
as they ever have been, wiId men !;
their hands are against every man, and
every mans hand is against them
Through Mohammed and his religion,
they have like so many locusts, plagu-
ed ''the third part of men" WITNESS

empire): and yet they have dwelt, and

brethren. Scans MAGAZINE.

GET OUT PUP.

A little child two years old, its moth
er, and its grandmother, who acted as
nurse, all went TO church together one
Sabbath day, and occupied one of
those oldfashioned, square pews so
common many years ago in New Eng
land. And it fell out too, that little
pup dog had contrived 10 take advan-
tage of his membership in The family to
smugg!e himself into the same pew
His carnal appetite excited by the
sight of mug of nice good milk, that
the kind old grandmother had provid-
ed for her little grandchild, in the
midst of the most pathetic part of the
holy preachers sermon, instead of
Winding as he ought, what the minis
ter was saying, he suffered himself to
enter into temptation to such a degree,
that finally he was overcome thereby !;
and so, no longer having the fear of
the preacher nor grandmother before
iseyes, he did clandestinely thrust his
wicked nose into the aforesaid mug of
milk, and with his naughty lips did he
begin to lap and drink the milk therein,
and the more he Tapped and drank, the
deeper into the mug did he thrust his
wicked mead, until finally his nose got
lh'o IKE very bottom of the mug, and
me milk was all gone. Now the little
SINNER was SO eager for the milk that
ne never stopped for moment to no.
ice how very closely the inside of the
mug did fit aroundhis head and ears
so close, in fact, that when he came to
raise up his head, the mug came up
with 1t, nor could he shake it off any
how. So, not knowing what to do, he
set up a furious barking before the
whole congregation. And the bark
was so sudden and unexpected, and
SO peculiar, too, coming as it did from
mug full of pups head, that it threw
the old grandmother wholly off her
guard, and caused her so far to forget
herself that she gave utterance aloud to
the words at the beginning of this anec-
dote-to wit: "Get out pup"
The sound of her own voice in NEE
ting, which she probably had never
heard before in her life, astonished the
old lady even more than the puppy's
barking, so that she instantly added a.
loud:
":Ihere! | have spoken right out in
meetlng!-There! I spoke again t.
My gracious! I keep talking all the
timew
And now do not think it strange that
the clergyman, who had witnessed all
these proceedings from the sacred desk,
should actually burst out laughing, to
the great scandal of all the good dea-
cons and old ladies Of the congregation.

Z L E Y EN- REA SON s
FOR PAYING YOUR DEBTS.
The Christians Reasons,

/. The Christian member of society
pays his debts, first, because he is or
dered to do so in the Bible, where we
are told to "render unto Caesar the
things that are Caesars, and to God
the things that are Gods" and to
"Owe no man anything"
2. The Christian hears the EIGHTH
Commandment every Sunday, "Thou
shalt not steal;" and defrauding a
man of his due is stealing; for the
tradesman lends upon faith and honor,
and does not gire.
3. The Christian pays regularly all
he owes, because he is a friend to JUS
tice and mercy; he wishes both to love
and succor his neighbor, and will not
have the ruin of others on his con-
science.
The Patriots Reasons.
4. The patriot knows that one act
of justice is worth six of charity-that
justice helps the worthy and corrects
the unworthy, while charity too often
succors but the latter.
5. The patriot considers the evils
that ensue from the more wealthy man
leaving his poorer neighbor unpaid:
that by that means the steps of the
great ladder of society are broken; the
first ruin beginning with the merchant,
who can no longer pay his workmen,
and continuing to the workman's child,
who is deprived of clothes, food, or in
struction; or to the aged father and
mother, left to die on bed of straw.
6. The patriot also pays because the
system of non-payment, pursued to a
certain extent, would bring general
bankruptcy upon the nation.
The man Of the yorld's Reasons.
7. The man of the world pays, be-
cause he is convinced that honesty is
the best policy.
s. The man Of the world pays, be-
cause he knows that curses will go with
his name, if he does not pay, instead
of good will and good works, which
last he secures with certain class by
paving.
9. The man Of worldly calculation
is aware, that by the immediate pay
ment Of his debts, as fast as they are
incurred, he purchases peace of mind,
and becomes acquainted with his in.
come, his means and resources.
10. The man of the world wishe.
| for comfortable old age, and knows
that he has but little chance of it from
his surrounding family, unless he train.

The lSaMAELlTES. OR ARARs

Every traveller, in passing through
ARABIA Petra, Or Stony Arabia, is struck
with the near resemblance between the
present and ancient character and GUS
toms OF the people, whether it relates
TO their political, social, or religious
features: The virtues and the vices
tor which the Immediate descendants
OF !shmael were distinguished, now
mark the more remote posterity of that
wild man"-the Bedouins of the de-
sert. In one particular they are liv-
ing tultilment of a prophecy made to
ms mother Hagar, "his hand shall be
against every man, and every mans
hand against him." for they are, in the
stlctest sense, common robbers.
1t was predicted that the descendants
Of lshmael should multiply into -
tribes, Or families, and become great
nation. That they should "dwell in
the midst of their brethren;' in other
words, that they should be surrounded
and harrassed by other nations, vet they
should still ''twell''- be utterly
destroyed. It was also prophesied
that they should make head against
mighty empire, and like so many To-
Gusts should "plague the third part of
men," Let us examine the fulhlment.
Ishmael had twelve sons, each faith
er OF tribe, and they dwelt in the i'm
mediate vicinity of the other offspring
of Abraham; the descendants of Lot,
ana OF Esau, the father of Edom. They
rapidly increased, and in short time
their nelghbors on the north and east,
as well as the descendants of Joktah in
Arabia Felix, were incorporated with,
them. They early traded with Egypt
in spices, and with Tyre in ebony, ivo-
ry, cloths, spices, Jewels, &c. They
were chiefly nomades or wanderers
Wild men"-taking about with them
large numbers Of cattle, and living in
tents without any permanent place Of
abode. They We're early distinguish
ed tor their robberies, lust, ayarice, and
revenge, and such is their character to
the present day. They were then, as
now, "such as, lin the language Of a
Roman writer) one would neither wish
his friends nor his foes" Such being
their character, every conquerer desir-
ed to root them out from their rocky
businesses, yet no one ever effected his
OBJECT, though he pursued them to
their borders. They harassed Gideon,
who chastised them severely they sent
presents to David and Solomon, vet
these were not tributes, for the Arab
ans were not conquered by either of
them; and in the vast army Of Shishak
of Egypt, which be marched against
Rehoboam, not an Arab or Ishmaelite
was seen, but, on the contrary, he was
obliged to place military line along
their frontiers to protect his country
from their rayages. They frequently
made incursions into Ju1lea and other
neighboring provinces, and sometimes
received severe chastisements, yet for
centuries, while every nation around
them changed masters, and became
tributaries, Herodotus asserts, that in
his time the Arabians were, as they ev-
er have been, ssfree from tribute"-
were unsubdued. They exasperated
Alexander the Great, by some act of
contempt, and he prepared to conquer
or ruin them, but death frustrated his
plans. Antigonus, his successor, at
