Moorish Ladies.

! Maj. Noah gives the following reminiscence
OF his residence in Algiers
| When in Tunis, | found myself in love with
a handsome mussulman lady, who lived on The
opposite side of a street scarcely Ten feet wide,
and who would draw aside the silken curtains
from The iron bars Of her windows, when un-
observed, to converse with me in Lingaa Fran
ca. talked Of flove--llke all young fellows OF
twenty -fiye--wilh an lrrepressabe ardur.
No! no! Sidi,' said she, if We were de-
tected, it would be nothing for you-you would
only lose your head, but should have my face
unveiled, be made TO ride backwards on mule,
! tied on a sack, aud thrown into the sea-
/ My ardor fell like barometer in squall
and the lille value she bestowed upon my head
I-conHas,ed with her disgrace-did not in
crease my affection. She said hat was true
It's the inevitable punishment of being detect
ed in an intrigue with The barbarians. II is
rather dangerous, therefore, TO inquire of a man
after his wifes health. This wretched life, how.
ever, of the females of BarbaIy creates feel
ing of melancholy, and makes her prone to
The tender passions This melancholy never
leaves her she seldom smiles. Her husband
takes her 10 his country house, has music, dan
cling and festivities to enliven her-she is the
same tacturn and melancholy creature.
We sometimes pity an Otherwise handsome
woman, who has unweldly proportions. and
| give way-to her in The omnibus with obvious
reluctance bu, in Barbary she would carry
off The palm. The more fatness the greater
beauty as a wife--and their tender mothers
begin al an early age TO fauen their daughters
They allow them very liule exercise-compel
Them TO ca, very rich subsances-liile paste
balls dipped ia oil--and every kind Of food cal
culaed TO procure obesity. The result is, the
lady " no requires a camel to carry her is the
first on The list, Lei Pacha with three tails

Mussleman beauties, he will pass by the light,

Life's PenduInni.

Al every swing of the pendulum a spirit goes
into eternity. The measure Of our life IS Il
handbfeadh; il is iale that is told; it's rapidly
is like The swift shuttle or The flying arrow; 1t
is brief as the fading flower, or The ,ransirory
rainbow, or the dazzling meteor; il is a bubble
1t is breath A, every swing Of the pend,i-
Ium spri, goes into eternity. Between rhe
rising and setting sun, $4,000 souls sum
mohed before their Creator. Death is ever busy
nigh, and day, al all seasons aud in all cimes
True, as well as beautiful, are those lihes of
Mrs. Iemans
Leaves have their time 10 fall,
And flowers to wither at the north winds breath.
And stars to set-but all,
Thou hast all seasons for thy own, o, death
He is supplied with boundless variety of
darts and arrows, with which he accomplIshes
his work. Could all the forms in which death
and fearful catalogue would it make Think
of the lnnnmerable number of diseases, all at
the command of death. And as though these
were not sufficient, see how man is exposed to
Ia al dCCiueH' ou every manu- anu az every mo-
ment. Ii was saying Of Flasel, that " the
smalles, pole in the body is door largo enough
TO lei in dealh." ''The leanesi gna, in the air"
says the same writer, "may choke one, as il did
Adrian, Pope of Rome. A lille hair in milk
may slrangle one, as il did counsellor in
Rome. A lllle skin OF rasin may stop ones
breath, as i, did the lyric poet, Anacreon."-
Even the food we eat TO nourish US, aud the air
we breathe may introduce death into our sys-
tens. And though every thing else should fail
TO harm US, we might fall beneath our own
hands should God permit cloud 10 pass over
our reason. 0, how insecure is life how near
is death Wha, has been said of the mariner
in respect to his ship, that I" he always sails
within four inches Of DEATH may be said Of the
soul in relation to the body. Ii The ship split,
then the sailor sinks if our ear;hen vessel
break, the soul is plunged forever into The
shoreless ocean of eternity Were our senses
not benumbed, and deadened, We should be con-
s,anlly reminded of this danger We should
read warning 10 every scar leaf and hear an
admonition in every wind that sighs. Even
sleep, "naiu1e's sweet restorer," would be
mighty monitTof dea,h--an ever present en-
blem OF mortality.

Advertisement of a Lost Day.

BY MRS. LYDIA H. SlGoURNEV.
Lost! lost! lost
A gem of countless price,
Cut from the living rock,
And graved in Paradise.
Set round with three times eight
Large diamonds, clear and bright,
And each with sixty smaller ones,
All changelul as the light.
Lost-where the thoughtless throng
In fashions mazes wind,
Where trilleth folly's song, sa'
Leaving sting behind;
Yet to my hand twas given
A golden harp to buy,
Such as the wh,e-robed choir attune
To deathless minstrelsy.
Lost! lost lost!
feel all search in vain;
That gem of countless cost
Can ne'er be mine again;
/ offer no reward,
For till these heart-stringS sever,
know that heaven entrusted gift
Is reft away forever.
But when the sea and land
Like burning scroll have fled,
I'll see it in his Hand
Who judgeth quick and dead,
And when Of scaihe and loss
That man can ne'er repair,
The dead inquiry meets my soul,
What shall it answer there1
