A Turkish Bath.

THE last good description of a Turkish
bath, ] think, was Lady Mary WORTHY Mon
tague's. which voluptuous picture must have
been painted at least a hundred and thirty
years ago, so that another sketch may be at
tempted by a humber artist in an different
manner. The Turkish bath is certainly a
novel sensation to an Englishman, and may
be set down as the most queer and surprising
event Of his life. | made the valet de place
or dragoman lit is rather a fine thing TO have
a dragoman in ones service) conduct me
forthwith to the best appointed hummums in
the neighborhood /; and we walked 10 a house
at Tophsna, and into a spacious hall ligh-
ted from above, which is the cooling room of
the bath.
Thu spacious hall has a large fountain in
the midst, a painted gallery running round it;
and many ropes stretched from one gallery to
another, ornamented with profuse draparies
Of towels and blue cloths, for the use of the
frequenters of the place. All round tho
room and the galleries were matted enclo-
sures, fitted with numerous neat beds and
cushions for Teposing on, where lay a dozen
Of true believers smoking, or sleeping, or in
the happy half-dozing state. was led up
to one of these beds to rather a retired corner,
in consideration Of my modesty and 10 the
next bed presently came a dancing dervish,
who forthwith began to prepare for the bath
When the dancing dervish had taken off
his yellow sugar-loaf cap, his gown, shawl,
&c., he was arrayed in two large blue cloths;
a white one being thrown over his shoulders,
and another in the shape of a turban plated
neatly round his head the garments of which
he Invested himself were folded up in anoth-
er linen, and neatly put by. beg leave 10
state was treated in precisely the same
manner as the dancing dervish.
The reverend gentleman then put on a
pair Of wooden pattens, which elevated him
about six inches from the ground-and wal
ked down the stairs, and padded across the
moist marble floor of the hall, and in at a
little door, by the which also Titmarsh, en-
tered. But l had none of the professional
agility of the dancing dervish / staggered
about very ludicrously upon the high wooden
pattens; and should have been down on nv
nose several times, had not the dragoman
and the master of the bath supported me
down the stairs and across the hall. Dressed
in three large cotton napkins, with a white
turban round my head, ! thought of Pail

From The Prisoners Friend.
The Death Penalty.
BIT REV. rHEADoRE PARKER.

-
Itmakes me shudder TO recollect that out
Of twenty. eight States of this Union twenty
seven should still continue the Gallows as
a part of the furniture Of a Christian govern
mont.* ] hope our own State-dignifed al
ready by so many noble acts-will soon rid
herself Of the stain. Let us try the exper-
iment Of abolishing this penalty, if we will
for twenty years, or ten-and I an confident
we shall never return to that punishment.-
If a man be incapable o~fliving in society, so
ill-horn or ill-bred that you cannot cure OF
mend him-why hide him away out Of soci-
ETY.. Let him do no harm, and treat him
kindly, not like a wolf but a man. Make
him work TO be useful to himself, to society,
but do not kill him. Or if you do, never
say again, "Forgive us our tresspasses as
we forgive those that tresspass against u.s."
What if he should take you at your word =
What would you think of father who to-
morrow should take the Old Testament for
his legal warrant and bring his son before
your Mayor and Aldermen because he was
Z" stubborn and rebellious, a drunkard and a
glutton," and they should stone him to death
in front Of the City Hallt But there is as
good a warrant in the Old Testament for
that as for hanging a man. The law is
referred to Jehovah as its author. Is not So
cietv the father of US all-our Protector
our Defender? How much better is II to
choke the life out Of a man behind a prison
wall! Hanging is vengeance; nothing but
vengeance. can readily conceive of that
Great Son of Man, whom the loyal world so
readily adores, performing all needful hui
man works with manly dignity. Artists
once loved TO paint the Ssvicr in the lowly
toll of lowly men, his garments covered with
the dust of common life his soul sullied by
no pollution. But paint him to your fam
cy as an execntioner; legally killing a man;
the halter in his hands hanging Judas for
high treason T! You see the relation which
that punishment bears to Christianity. Yet
what was unchristian in Jesus does not be-
come Christian in the Sheriff. We call our
selves Christians (; we often repeat the
name, the words of Christ,-But his PRAYER!
oh no-not that.
There are now in this land I think sixteen
men under sentence of death (; sixteen men
TO be hanged until they are dead I! Is there
not in this nation skill to heal these men p
Perhaps tits 40. ] have known hearts which
seemed TO me cold stones; so hard, so dry.-
No kindly steel had alchemy to win a spark
from them. Yet their owners went about
the streets and smiled tteir hollow smiles
the ghastly brother cast his shadow in the
sun, or wrapped his cloak about him in the
wintry hour. yet the world went on, though
the worst Of men remained unchanged. Per-
haps you cannot cure these men ; to make
them useful! Shame on us that We know
no better than thus to pour out life upon the
dust, and then with reeking hands turn to
the poor and weak and say e YE shall no,
die.

vine, over which it had passed, and through
which ran a little thread of water, nv ewes

ing that the leopard and panther frequent the
deepest dells, making their dens in such cool
retreats as are likely to furnish water as well
as shade, | resolved on instant return; hut

growl in the advance startled me into the GER

several yards, for il was here and there cut
up, divested Of turf, the grass lying about,
while leaves and branches were strewed over

that, if attainable. my post of defence would
be the bole Of the nearest, which was also
the largest tree; but, almost despairing of
Ieaehing it before the checta made his attack

the desired position, yet not without running

against my forehead. In my utmost terror

the grand and awful appearance Of the ami

eyes. red and ravenous, sent a chill to my
blood, while from its distended jaws, cover.

cord of its voice. Once it raised itself 80
completely from the chasm into which its
hinder parts depended, that was sure il
would escape. and, with a last effort, raised

Keep it Before tile People.
BY D~UGgANNE.

"Keep ii before the people!"
That the earth was made for man ;
That flowers were strown,
And fruits were grown,
To bless and never to ban!
That sun and rain,
And corn and grain
Are yours and mine. my brother;
Free gifts from Heaven,
And freely given
To one, as well as another!
"Keep it before the people !"
That man is the image of God,
Whose limbs OF soul
Ye may not control
With shackle, or shame, or rod
We may not be sold
For silver or gold,
Neither you mol |, my brother;
For freedom was given
BY God from Heaven,
To one, as well as another!
L" Keep it before the people !"
That famine, and crime, and woe
Forever abide
Still side by side
With luxury's dazzling show;
That Lazarus crawls
From Dives halls,
And starves at his gate, my brother;
Yet life was given
By God from Heaven.
To one, as we'll as another!
Keep it before the people !"
That the laborer claims his need
The RICH, of soil
And the right of toll.
From spur and bride freed
The right to bear,
And the right 10 share
With you and me, my brother.
What ever is given
By God from Heaven.
To one, as well as another.

POETRY.
From Me-New Albany (Ind.) Buieten.
My HOOSier. Home.


They tell me that the city's gay,
Here beauty reigns supreme,
Thatlife's best gems are cast away
- Upon a stagnant stream,
Unless we move in fashions throng,
In a brilliant, heartless crowd,
Share sumptuous feasts, and merry song,
With the thoughtless and the proud.
Oh. carry me back to my Hoosier home,
Where Ohio's gentle tide
Passes along by my Hoosier home,
On The Indiana side.
=. Il know It's banks are wild and rude.
But the light birds mystic strain
Woos me back to the solitude
e OF It's dark, dark woods again;
catch its notes in the willow tree,
As it springs from its tiny nest,
It's wings are bright, unfettered, free
As tho wild winds Of the west.
Oh, carry me back to my Hoosier home,
Where Ohio's swelling tide
Passes along by my Hoosier home,
On the Indiana side.
There voices come like music sweet,
+. And the beautiful human face
Is bright with hope /; and there ! meet
. Kind smiles of winning grace.
In dreams Of love ] greet them still,
Yet truth will bring TO mind,
That nothing here the heart can thrill
Like the loved one left behind.
Oh carry me back TO my Hoosier home,
Where the calm Ohio's tide
Passes along by my Hoosier home.
On the Indiana side.
My spirit sighs, though pleasure smiles,
And seeks TO steal my care.
l heed not her seductive wiles,
For my thoughts are ever where
The sweetest flowers difIuse their bloom,
And the mild moons softest beam
Lies bright and deep mid forest gloom,
In Ohio's murmuring stream.
Oh, carry me back 10 my Hoosier home,
Where clear Ohio's tide.
Murmurs along by my Hoosier home,
On the Indiana side.
The gaudy palace and costly dome,
Like magic seem to me,
Yet my heart flies back to my Hoosier
Home,
Like a bird to it's native Tree,
Oh. carry me back to that spot so dear,
The city know is gay.
But give to me-, the live long year,
My cottage far away.
Oh. carry me back to my HoosIer home,
Where Ohio's gentle tide
Passes along by my Hoosier home,
On the Indiana side
