PRIVILEGES OF THE AUSTRIAN
PEOPLE,

Howitt's "Rural and Domestic Life in
Germany" gives this charming picture of
the free intercourse between the gentry and
the People at Vienna:
All royal gardens are open, and the peo-
pie walk in them, and stream around the
palace, passing, in many instances through
their very courts and gateways, just as if they
we're their own. Nay, the royal and ducal
owners walk about amongst the people with
as little ceremony as any of the rest. The
Emperor of Austria, or the King of Prussia,
does the very same. You may meet them
any where: and little more ceremony is
used towards them than is used towards any
other individual, simply that of lifting your
hat in passing, which is done to all your ac-
quantance, and is returned as mark of Or
binary salutation. You will see princes sit
ting in public places with their friends, with
a cup of coffee, as unassumingly and as little
stared at as any respectable citizen. You
may sometimes see Grand Duke come in
to country inn, call for his glass of ale, drink
it, pay for il, and 60 away as unceremoniously
as yourself. The consequence of this easy
familiarity is, that princes are every where
popular, and the daily occurrence of their
presence amongst the people prevents tina,
absurd rush and stare at them which prevails
in more luxurious and exclusive countries
The same open and general enjoyment Of
scenery extends to all other estates and gar.
dens. The country houses of the nobility
and gentry are surrounded on all sides with
public and private walks. They have sci.
dom any fences about any thing but their pri.
vate gardens. The people go and walk
every where, and never dream of trespass'
ing, nor are ever told of such thing. Thi.
is one of the great charms of this country
All woods, with the rare exception Of dee

HERoIsM OF AN AFGHAN GIRL.-1n an.
gdzctted trait Of Ghuznec.-While the AT
ghans were dispu,ing the entrance of the
British Army into the citadel, an incident
occurred, which for moment diverted the
attention of the combatants, and turned
their fury into pity. Amongst the foremost
of the party who sgnalized themselves BY
their desperate gallanty, was an aged chief
tain, the richness of whose costume excited
general attention, his turban and weapons
being respendant with jewels. The hope of

object Of attack, and numbers at once as

who knew there was no chance of life, but
who was resolved to sell it as dearly as he
could. He bad killed several of the Queens
Royals, and several wounded Captain Rob-
inson, when grenadier of the company to
which the latter belonged, seeing his officer
in danger, rushed to his assistance, and with
thrust of his bayonent, brought the gallant
old chieftain to the ground.
The grenadier was about to despatch him,
when beautiful girl, about seventeen, threw
herself into the melee, and plunged dag
ger in his breast. She then cas-, herself on
the body of the cheiftain, for the purpose Of
protecting it; and the Anghans forming a
sort OF rampant before them, maintained
their ground until the heroic girl succeeded
IN getting it conveyed into the interior ofthe
citadel. Shortly after the place was taken,
she was found weeping over the remains Of
the brave old man who, on inquiry, we
learned was her father. She was treated
with the utmost respect and tenderness by
our men; who neither ob,ruded themselves
on her grief nor offered any interruption to
the preparation which she made for his in
terment.

comments. Having expressed our fears lest any
in the party might be injured by the reptile, he
proposed that the exhibition should take place
under an enormous pheasant coop Of worked
wire, which was lying unused in the court yard.
This arrangement was acceded to, and at our
suggestion, the snake first taken in the morning
was selected for the encounter. The mouth Of
the vessel in which he was enclosed was placed
under the edge Of the coop. and the cover sud-
denly withdrawn. In moment after the Cobra

monster poked his nose all around the enclosure

impossible, he quietly coied himself up, freeing

The little creature which now shifted round the
edge Of the coop was about half as large again as
an English rat, OF notified color, with small red
eyes, and would have been a very ugly animal
had it not been for its tail, which was long and
bushy, in circumference near the centre, almost
as large as the little body to which it was attach

having seen its tormentor in its first entrance
had prepared to give him battle. Suddenly, the
tinny creature, which seemed to be not more
than single mouthful to its adversary, saw the
snake, and without hesitation ran to him. So
apparently unequal contest never beheld.-
The Cobra Capella had reared itself and spread
out its hood, sort of fleshy cape it initiates when

SOAP FOR MONEY

Kendall, Of the Pcayune, in his account OF
his Santa Fe expedition, narrates the following
amusing anecdote:
An amusing circumstance occurred while
the officer of our guard was absent for the pur.
pose OF obtaining permission for us to roam
about the city on parole. We had no sooner
reached our quarters than the usual crowd of
vendors of oranges and other fruits gathered
about US, all anxious TO dispose of their little
stock OF trade. Mr. Falconer picked out some
half dozen oranges, and sweet lemons from the
basket OF fruit girl End in payment handed her
dollar. There was not small coin enough
among them to change the dollar. and f. sent
i out by coporal, telling him TO get it changed
The TEL low shortly returned with sirfv f,tlr
cakes Of soap tied up in handkerchief. Fa.
coner told the coporal he wanted change not
soap. The Corporal retor,ed by saving it was
the currency of the place-legal currency, and
that there was no other. Such proved to be the
case, and however singular it may appear, soap
is really lawful tender in payment of all debts
The cakes are worth one cent and a halt
each, about the size of the common Windsor
shaving soap, and are stamped with the name of
the maker, who is authorized by law to manufac.
tIre them, and also with the name of the town.
But Celaya soap, although its intrinsic value
may be the same, does not pass current at Que
retaro-for what reason | cannot divine. Ma
ny OF the cakes were partially worm and looked
as though they had performed some little service
IN the tub; but all were current as long as the
stamp was visible. Frequently remarked that
our men would use one of these singular bits of
currency in washing their hands and faces, and
then pass it off for plate of frejoles or an or
ange Much amusement too,dld we have among
ourselves while in the district where it passes
as legal tender; and 'are you out of soap =

He who hath read the human Soul
And laid its depth mysterious bare,
Has seen how weak is Truths control,
When Self has reared an idol there!
O, souls there are which melt in tears,
When bleeding Wo for succor cries;
And where grim Want its hands uprears,
With joy the famished frame supplies!
But where the lambs have made their fold,
The wolves are ever sue to stray;
And cen by Virtues side behold
The form of evil hunt ito prey!
Search deep the human soul, and find
How few escape high Truths strong bani
How weak within the sordid mind
Is found the love of Man for Man
Self-Love beneath whose bancful shade
Envy and Pride and Hatred grow!
Here lies The c. tho heart 'gainst others woe!

Unseen the darkness frowning there;
While shapes of evil wan and pale.
Are made angelic forms to wear.
How plant bends the varying face! .
How fitful beams the twinklng eye!

But webs for flies by spiders wrought;
And who adventures in the den,

A GOOD SHOT-AT A DISTANCE.

A Boosting character out West recently
rejoiced in the reputation of being a good
shot, but on being challenged he ran away,
and 1t was found that he was only a good
shot at distance.-This reminds US Of an
old story Of much more point and humor. A
well-known little Irish lawyer, famous for
impassioned eloquence and sarcastic power
got challenged once by an irritable witness,
who took offence at some sharp cross ques-
tioning in court. The orator knew precise
~ as much about fighting, as fancy boxer
knows about Millions "Paradise Lost"
His friends told him, however, that there
was no way to avoid the scrape, and it was
certainly expected from him either to fight or
apologize.-This settled the point; for the
proud little Hibernian, tho he had rather
eat than fight, still infinitely preferred being
shot to making an apology. So the two du-
ellists, with their second, &c., we're soon
upon the battle ground.-The challenger
was notorious as great pistol shot, and had
fought some haf-dozen duels before, in one
of which he was so badly wounded, as to be
left cripple for life.
When other preliminaries were arranged
he requested through his second one favor
from his adversary, which Misrepresentation
to stand against milestone that was on the
chosen ground. He sought no advantage
but wished to lean upon the stone, being toe
lame to stand erect without support. His re.
quest was at once granted. and just as the
word was about to be given, the little lawyer
issued his mandate to stay proceedings, a.
he also had request to make.
In the gravest manner in the world, he so.
licited permission TO lean against the nen1
milestone! and the joke was so good tha
the challenger took his revenge out in &
hearty laughter, Withdrawing his deadly de.
fance, and declaring he could never shoot
man of such excellent humor. The oppo.
nents shook hands, and were ever after close
friends while the barrister rejoined in the
quizzical renown of being good shot-at &
