"To my knowledge, never!" replied the mas

Then there is but one more boon that will
crave of you. | am gong home, to visit the
scenes ofmy youth-to ningle with the spirits of
my friends suffer me not to return to them a
slave My fathers were pround chiehains a.
mong their native wilds--they sought cut the
lion in the midst Of his secret recesses-they
suDdued the savage tiger they were conquer
ers in battIe-they never bowed to man, they
would spum bondnan from the halls Oh,
tell me? exclaimed he, seizng his masters

ooh, tell me, while may yet hear the sound

"Your wish is granted" said the master, ''you
are freeman
"a freeman !" said the negro, slowly sinking
back upon the couch, and clasping his hands "a
bove his head with all his energy -"wrte it for
me MASTER"
The gentleman tore leaf from his pocket
book, and pencing hasty sketch of his free
dom, handed it to his slave. The old man lifted
up his head once more as he received it, and the
last ray of sunlight fitted across his counte.

paper; then falling suddenly back, he once more

mand but what are your claims? To he the
possessor OF my daughter, you must distinguish
yourself by one of those attributes or else by
some great undertaking. Ages ago, a curbuncle
OF lnestlmable value was lost in the T1gris he
who finds it shall have the hand of my daugh-
ter"
The youth, satisfied with the promise of tho
Callph went to the shores of the Tigris. With
small vessel he every morning went to the riv-
er, scooplng out the water and throwing it on the
land and after having for hours thus employed
himself, he knell down and prayed.
The fishes at length became uneasy at bis
perseverance, and being fearful that in course of
time he might exhaust the waters, they assem- .
bled in great council. "What is the purpose of
this man." demanded the monarch of the fish
es.
"The possession of the carbuncle that lies
buried in the sluice of the Tigris," was the re-
ply.
4" advise you them" said the aged monarch,
to give it to him; for if he has the steady will.
and is positively resolved to find it, he will drain
the last drop Of water from the Tgris, rather
than deviate hairs breadth from his purpose"
The fishes, out of fear, threw the carbunce
into the vessel of the youth, and the latter, as
reward received the daughter of the Caiph for
his wife.

The Mormons in the Valley of the

The Frontier Guardian of the 2Sth ult con-
tains curious eplstolary narrative, recently pub
lisned by the Mormons and directed to the breth-
rem throughout the world. 1t is called the First
General Episte of the First Presidency of the
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints
from the Great Salt Lake Valley to the Saints
scattered throughout the Earth-Greetng."-
We copy a few items, showing the tenor of the
the whole document
"On our arrival in this valley, we found that
the brethren had erected four forts composed
mostly of houses, including an area of about 2S
acres, and numbering about 5000 souls, inclu-
ding our camp. The brethren had succeeded in
planting and sowing an extensive variety ofseeds

A Strange Story of an Italian
Painter.

1t was cruel and inhuman caprice of an ltal-
ian painter, named Gotto who, designing to
draw crucifx to the life, wheedled poor man
10 suffer himself to be bound to the cross an
hour, at the end of which he should be released
again and receive a considerable gratulty for his
pains. But instead of this, as soon as he had
him fast on the cross, he stabbed him dead and
then fell to drawing. lie was the greatest mas
tel in all Italy at that time, and having this ad-
vantage of dead man hanging on cross be-
fore hm, there is 10 question but what he made
a matchess piece Of work of it.
AS soon as he had finished his picture, he car
ried it to the Pope, who was astonished at this
prodigy of art highly extohng the exqulsiteness
of the features and limbs, the langnishlng, pale
deafness of the face, and the unaffected sinking
Of the head. In word, he had drawn to the
life, not only that privation of the sense and mo-
ton, which we call death, but also the very want
of the least vital symptom.
This is better understood than expressed
Every body knows that it is masterpiece tc

sence of these inferior faculties so as to dlstin

Persevere and Prosper.
AN ARABIAN APOLOGIZE.

"Hc that secketh shall find, and to him thai
knocketh shall be opened" says an old Arab
proveb.
81 will try that" said youth one day, and to
carry out his intentions, he journeyed 10 Bagdad
where he presented himself before the Vizer.
"My LORD" said he, for many years have
lived quiet and solitary life, the monotony of
which wearies me. have never permitted my
self earnestly to will anything But as my
teacher daily repeated to me, he that seeketll
shall find, and to him that knocketh it shall be
opened" 80 have now come to the resolution
with might and heart to will, and the resolution
of my will is nothing less than to have the Ca
hph's daughter for my wife,"
The Vizer thought the poor man was mad, and
told him to call again some other time
Perseveingly he daily returned, and never fell
disconnected at the same oft repeated answer
One day the Caliph called on the Vizer, Just as
the youth was delivering his statement.
Full of establishment, the CaIiph listened tc
the strange demand; and being in no particular
humor for having the poor youths head taken off
but on the contrary, rather inclined to pleasant
ry, his mightiness condescendingly said

The Ruling Passion.
BY ELIzABE1H NJ. CHANDLER.

He lay On a conch with his face half turning
to the sinking sun. The skin was drawn tight
ly over his forehead, as though parched and sunk
eli by extreme aye; but the restless and uneasy
wanlcrng> of his eye told that he still claimed
companlonship with earthly feelings.
lie was a slave, and for more than hundred
years he had gone forth to the daily toll of the
bondman. 1t was said, that in his faherland,
from which he had been torn by unprincped
violence, he had been prince among his people.
In the first days of his slavery he had been
fierce and ungovernabe, nor could his naughty
spirit be tanned into subsection until it had been
snbdued by gratitude The father of his pres
ent master, had in his childhood, by interfering
to save him from punishment, received on his
own body the blows intended for the slave ;
and from that moment he became to his youthful
master devoted servant. The child had grown
up to manhood, ilourishcd throughout his term OF
years and faded away into the grave but still
the Afrlc fingered upon earth, and it was fol the
son OF that man that he waited, and to use his
own expression, held back his breath" until he
should behold him.
Al length the light of the low cabin door was
darkened, as the master stopped his tall form to
enter the dwelling of his slave, 81 have Gomez
said he, as he approached, "whut would you do
with me-"
The negro raised himself up with sudden
energy, and stretched out his withered hands,
Have not borne you in my arms in your help
less infancy" said he " and should ! not now
once more behold you before die? Heed me-
master. Ere yon sun shall set, the breath will
have passed from my lips--its beams are fast
growing aslant and yellower-tell me before !

You have !"

Kossuth, the President OF Hungary, is most
remarkable man. As writer, orator, statesman.
and general, he is alike wlthouta rival in his ma.
ton, aud perhaps in the world, Il his writnos
and mis- speeches rouse the people to fury Of
enthusiasm, his calm clear Judgment gudes them
through every difficulty and dangel, % tuonnb
To the Magyars he appeals in ter own rcp
strong language; to the Walafks, he speaks
the language OF the Wallacks ITO the Scla,o,
he speaks the language Of the Slaves, while to
the Diet OF Magnates and Blsh1N, he breaches
revolution Tor freedom and resls| ance to tyrants,
in the purest Latin. Of exhausless genins -,
ergy and invention, he is never L a loss r.
seems to have marked him for he events bo :.

stands highest as soldier stateFNan orator. or

tiers wonderfully. Here is specimen of his or
atory, addressed to the Hungartn nation.
"Two things we must do Wei must rise and

say to them, L" rue the day on Which created

in these two, then they are an acf Fused PEOPLE
so cursed that the air OF heaven shall dlsowp
them; SO cursed that the sweet lountains shall
turn bracksh as they approach y The Hunga-
rian shall be a vagabond on the nee of the earth.
Even the bread OF charity shall pc denied to his
