Ececniriciiics Of the Cniiph gHulSciu, of Da-
mascus.

Hakem used TO amuse himself with
writing letters and throwing them out OF
the window. Some contained an order
TO give the bearer sum Of money, others
TO give him beating. Those who found
them took them to an emir, who used TO
put in execution the orders they contains
ed. The terror with which he inspired
his subjects was so great that evil doors
were awed into abandonment of their
courses. He once prohibited the shut
ting of shops and houses during the night,
which the people strictly attended to-.
One night four hundred pieces of goods
were stolen from parties who, next day,
came to complain to IIakem, for, coniid-
ent OF his power to restrain evIl-doers, he
had promised to repay whatever was lost.
When such complaints were made, he
caused a statue to be brought, which he
called Abon'' -Iloul, TO whom the com
planant was made to say, "Ahon-'r- houl,
| have lost so and so," to which the sta
tue (behind which man was concealcd)
answered by indicating where the stolen
goods were to be found. The property
was then restored and the robbers hang
ed. Such were tha effects of his search
ing espionage. And this prompt retribu-
ton put complete stop TO thicving. If
any one dropped Il piece of money, it re-
manned on the spot no one daring to pick
Hup. A man having dropped purse
containing a thousand pieces of gold a,
the mosque of Ebn Touloun, it remained
there whole week, until the owner pas
sed that way and picked it up again. A
man about to set cut on journey, once
deposited sum OF money with another.
and, on his return, claimed the deposit,
but the other denied having received it,.

The prince said to tho depositor, flake

tomorrow accost me, and follow me,
speaking all the while. and will appear
to listen to you al,entively." This was
done as said, and the uulaithful consign-
ee, having seen his friend talking this way
with the prince; was so seized with terror
that he brought back the bag of money
with his seal untouched. Next morning
tina uniaithlul friend was hanging by the
neck at his own shop door, to the great
asionishmen, of every body. On another
occasion. he sacrificed justice to the en-
joymenl Of practical joke. A robber
was brought before him, holding in his
hand bag of money, which he had taken
from some one in the market, and then
ran off. IL should 1.-The to see law you

flight. Being once stopped at night on

LINES TO A KEG OF Liquor.

Within these prison walls repose
The chattering tongue, the horrid oath;
The fist for ish hitting, nothing 10th;
TIE passion quick no words can tame,
That bursts like sulphur into flame;
The nose with rubes glowing red,
The bloated eye, the broken head
Forever fastened be this door,
Confined within thousand more
Destructive iiends of hateful shape,
Even now are plotting an escape,
Here, only by a cork restrained,
In slender walls of wood contained
In all their dirt of death reside
Revenge that ne'er was satisfied;
The tree that bears the deadly fruit
OF murder, manning, ard dispute;
Assault that innocence assails,
The images of gloomy jails;
The giddy thought, on mischief bent,
The midnight hour, in folly spent;
All these within this cask appear,
And Jack, the hangmau, in the rear!
