TIRE VISION OF HAKIM, sURNAMED
THE DREAMER.
BY J. X. PAULDiNG.

BY J. X. PAULDlNG.
Hakim, surpamed the Dreamer, W as the
only son of Hamet, one of the principal
UIemas of Constantinople. privileged
class who hold their lands independently Of
the will Of the Grand Siguior, and can on
ly be dispossessed according to law
Having wealthy and indolgent father,
he W as free 10 follow the bent of that in~
clin alton for indolent repose which is one
Of the leading traits of the followers Of Ma
ho met, who, believing that Allah governs
all things, take liltle pains to obtain the
good graces or avoid the frowns offortune.
Among the race Of indolent Musselmen, {,
Hakim was the most indolent. He was
q ever known to go out Of his way to avoid
misfortune or attain qualification; and
a great portion Of his time was passed 10
indoleut contemplation, so profound that
in time he became known by no other
name than that of Hakim, the Dreamer.
His fayorite place Of resort was Scutari
an extensive cemetery, charmingly situa-
ted on a prof Getting point nearly opposite
10 the Seven Towers Of the Seraglio, and
where, amid the dead Of past ages, he
smoked his pipe, gazed around unconcious
Of the inspiration of the magnificent scene
spread out before him, and fell into that
state of mind betwixt sleeping and waking
in which, though the senses are not dor.
mant, the Imagination often usurps their
| empire and palms upon them thousand
deceptions. One calm Summer evening
when the long lingering twilight threw
its soft hazy veil over the face of ature,
and the Propontis lay spread out before
him without ripple, Hakim was seated
under the shade of an aged tree that threw
wide branches over the tomb Of the famous
Derriua AL Hader, renowned for his sane
tity among all orthodox Musselmen. The
scene was beautiful beyond description
On one hand lay stretched out before him
the vast capital of the empire of the Cres
cent, which. though shorn of its beams,
still retains the vestiges Of its former
magnifcene, rising from whose bosom
might be seen the gli.tering domes and
minarets of the splendid mosques of St.
Sophia, of the Sultano Valid, and Solyman
the Magnificent. On the other hand, the
grassy mirror of the Propontis, glowing
with the purple ray Of the setting sun and
ihickly covered with vessels, whose white
sails, hung idly from the mast, spread far
and wide, bounded in the distance by the
smiling coast of the ancient Nicomedia.-
In another direction might be seen the
opening OF the far-famed Bosphorus, on
whose shores the adventurous Argonauts
landed in their search for The golden
fleece; where Pollux slew the giant Amy
Gus, where good old Phiueus was persecu.

Even the immortal Jove could not for

indulging his merry humor. when there
approached the aged man, with a .yenera-

had been bestowed the knowledge of fu-

Sometimes after the Introduction oftea

"and is always used when company comes.'
The tea was taken home, and it was re-
solved to be hospitabe. Company was
invited TO spend the day. Al dinner,
fine piece of boiled beef, and another Of
good fat pork, with an accompaniment Of
potatoes and carrots, graced the table.
"And now ;" said the host. as lie looked
in triumph first to his wife, and then 10
his guests, whom he served bountifully
with the viands before them, "help Mrs.
Basset to somet thing from that dish"
The pewter spoon was thrust into dish
of well boiled tea leaves, from which the

youngest guest, was served with quantity

"Taste of that" said the worthy host,
"It is tea, such as the quality in Boston
aud Plymouth make such fuss about"
Each mumbled little of the herbage,
and carefully rinsed it down with cider,
but none ventured to critiCise the new ad-
dilion to the dinner table.
