CoNGUeAL LovE.-lf an Egyptian of the present
day has government debt tax TO pay, he stOutly
persists in his inability obtain the money, till he
has withstoOd a certain number of blows, and con-
sders himself compelled to produce it. The following
story, illustrative of this fact related by Wilkinson
in his Manners and Customs of the Egyptians ~

Cairo arrested by the Turkish authorities for the
non-payment of his taxes and taken before the Keha

increasing pain. Again and again he pleaded his

was inexorabe; and the torments he felt at length
Overcame his resolution they were longer TO be
borne. Release me, he cried, and will pay direct

Infancy.

II there be perfect joy on earth,
That seems fiom heaven TO have its birth,
IL is to see
The bud that promises the rose,
The Graded sweetness scft unclose,
In infancy.
Pure hours when all Of life is light;
When clothed in robes Of stainless white,
The cherub lies,
Beloved with holy tenderness,
And watch'd by orbs it seems 10 bless
A mothers eyes.
How richer far than summer bird,
The li>ping accents fondly heard,
AS days increase;
When Iipcr meanings light the brow,
And kind affection ehanIeth low
Her song of peace
Oh blessed time, when every hour
Flies like the odour from the flower,
Serene and free;
When every charm Of life is new.
And every scene that greets the view,
Is fair to see.
Sure, when these opening blossoms die,
And fade in beauty to the eye,
None should deplore;
For in the cline secure and bright,
Sustained by deathless air and light,
They pine no more.

SPANISH INQUIsIrIoN.-When Gen. Lasallc entered
Toledo, he Immediately visited the Palace of Inquis-
on The great number Of the instruments of torture
especially the instruments to stretch the limbs the
drop baths (already known which lingering
death, excited horror, In the minds of soldiers
hardened in the battle field. Only one of these in
sruments, singular of its kind for refined torture
dsgracelul to religion in choice of its object, seems
to deserve particular description. In subterrane-
Gus vault adjoining the secret audience chamber Stood
IN recess IN the wall, wooden statue made by the
hands Of the Monks representing-who would believe
1t ! the Virgin Mary A gilded glory beamed round
her head and she held standard in her right hand.
1t Immediately struck the spectator, Notwithstanding
the silk garments which fell in ample folds from the
shoulders on both Sides that she wore breast plate.
Upon closer examination, it appeared that the
whole front of the body covered with extremely
sharp nails and the small blades of knives with the
points projecting outwards. One Of the servants of
the Inquisition was ordered to make the machine
Enapeaure, as he expressed himself.
As the statue extended It's arms and gradually
folded them back as if she would aectonately press
somebody to her heart, the well filled knapsack of a
Polish grenader supplied for this time the place Of
the poor victim. The statue pressed it closer and
closer, and when at the command of the General the
director made il open its arms and return to its first
position, the knapsack pierced two or three in
cnes deep, and remained hanging on the nails and
knife blades. II is remarkable that the barbarlans
had the wickedness call this instrument of torture

A PRoDIGY-THE SLAVE ARITHMETlcIAN.-A few
months since we published an account of negro of
an extraordinary faculty for numbers. belonging to
Mr.. p McLemore, of Madison county, Ala. The
editor of the Columbus (Tenn.) Observer, who has
Gently had an opportunity of witnessing the powers of
calculation of this anomaly i'll mind, SAYS;
He is an idiot as to every thing else, and for that
reason has never performed any labor though of toubt
person, weighing nearly two hundred. To the ques-
ton, how many 153 multiplied by 3d. he
answered, 90 fifty-six thousand, four hundred fifty
seven,' almost without hesitation. So also 976 by
S37! answer, S16,9l2; 52l by 81 ans. 1S3, 81.
He also solved questions in division, with facility
that bcggars all countingroom calculation; such as
how many seventeens in SIG how many nineteens
in 6S3 &c. To test his comprehension of numbers
over a million, he was asked how many were 1862
multiplied by 1857! During the pause of three or
four minutes we were not able to detect any evidences
of mental effort in his cOuntenance, and doubted
whether he was thinking at all But the astonish-
ment of all, he answered seventeen hundred and
twelve thousand, thirty-four."
The negro does not know a letter, or figure, or any
other representation of numbers ideas He speaks
to no one, except when spoken to- His forehead is
long and covered within inch and half above the
eyebrows But the volume, from temple to temple is
deem bevond comparison He is 10 years old, but has
the appearance of thirty. He has never been taught
10 understand (perhaps has never heard, as he has
never before been from home, where no one could
teach him) the forms of mathematical questions or
problems, other than those of simple addition, multi
plication and division. Superior even to Sir Isaac
Newton in this single faculty, he Is destitute of every
other that is necessary to render it available for any
practical purpose.
He is unable to communicate his process to others
The basis of his reckoning must be decimal, some
other even number; for questions involving odd mum.
bers require longer time for their solution. When
solving such, he has mysterious mnemetechnic sign
by placing his left finger in the corner of bis lef eye
and then drawing down across his mouth. Such is
the scientific niger" from Alabama being Of
one idea.

The Death Bed.

BY THOMAS HOOD.
We watched her breathing thrO' the night,
Her breathing soft and low,
As in her breast the wave Of life
Kept heaving TO and fro.
So silently we seemed to speak,
So slowly moved about,
As we had lent her half our powers
To exc her being out.
Our very hopes belied our fears,
Our fears our hopes belied;
We thought her dying when she slept,
And sleeping when she died.
For when the morn came dim ard sad,
And chill with early showers,
Her quiet eyelds closed ;-she had
Another morn than ours.

Sit, Sit Sit -
From matn hour till twilight gloom,
He's "fxture" there in his dusky room -
Away the moments fit,

In the smiths bright forge the fire glows,
But the smith himself the bellows blows
Unhesrd the hammers clink

With quill in hand his brains must beat

A PATTERN MrNrsrER.-The Boston Post says that
of the most devoted clergyman in that city is the
Rer Sebastian Streeter. As evidence Of his SYM
pathy with his society it is stated that for twentyone
years he has missed their stated weekly conference
meeting but twice. Such the pastors whose labors
are invaluable. We heard this truly excellent
preacher berating aliens, enlisting in abolition
crusade, ectnring his people on politics, or diving
into fevers % the day. But when called to the cham
bers Of the SICK the dying and the Dead he is there
in the spirit of his master. He is Universalist.
