AN ITALIAN CoUNT.-French CrgE.-M. p
rich and retired from business, had pretty hotel
not far out of the city, which he inhabited, with
his wife and daughter. Finding they had more
room than they could we'll employ, they adver-
tlsed snug pavilion at the end OF the garden to
rent.
Three days after young man of foreign as
pect, calling himself Leonard, examined one of
the apartments, and attended only by single
servant, took possession. He was quiet per
son, and could be seen every day from the hotel
writing at his window.
The Lady wife and daughter of NJ p. were
naturally excessive curious. There seemed no
means, however of gratifying their curiosity,
and they watched their mysterious lodger in
wonder and torment
After some days, however, the qnick eyes of
the daughter caught sight of letter which the
stranger had dropped in his walk through the
garden. This was prize not to be overlooked.
and though excessively sensible and worthy peo-
pie, they ventured to open and read the letter.
They learned from it that their lodger was a
young Italian of rank, just escaped from politi-
cal martyrdom, and now negotiating with pow
erful friends, to secure the release of his aged
father.
Both mother and daughter were in raptures :
they returned the letter with an unsu.pecting
air, when, to their increasing rapture. the fair
Leonard voluntarily made them his conlidants.
mot presuming to conceal from their generosi-
ty secret which fate had thrown in their way -
Henceforth Leonard was guest at his hosts
table, and quiet, unassuming, honest lover of
his hosts daughter.
He met casually at his hosts table with rich
banker, an old friend of NJ p and in virtue of
that friendship, admitted him, TO a knowledge
of his secret. Never was sympathy more cor
dial, or secresy better preserved.
AT length on bright day, Leonard came run
ming to his friend to announce the release of his
father. The family were in ecstacies. He
must come to the pavilion at the foot of the gar
den, and share apartments with his son. And
the marriage so long deferred, must signalize
his return. Nothing could be more reasonable.
Leonard went under the advice of the bank
er, to buy marriage presents. He purchased
largely, and in company with such u friend, with
undisputed credit.
Two days after the senior count was to ar
rive Leonard was to meet him in the city he
even took back the diamond necklace which he
had purchased two days before to exchange for
one still more magnificent; he borrowed twenty
louis from the proud father-in law, 10 meet his
parents immediate necessities, and drove out of
the court yard.
The night came on with no Leonc rd-no
Count. The beau Italian had gone with d.
mond necklace, with twenty Louis in gold, with
the heart of the daughter; and had left in place
of them an old portmanteau, broken file of the
Pressc, and sentimental verse or two upon the
window pane.

An INTERESTING Discovery IN EGYpT.-A
very interesting discovery has been made in
Egypt by the agent Of an English mining COM
pany.
Il is known that there exists In Mount Zaba-
rah, situated on an island in the Red Sea, mine
Of cmeraId@, which was formerly worked by tho
pachas Of Egypt, bat abandoned in the last year
OF the reign of Mchomct Ali. An English COM
pauy have solicited aud recently Obtained author
ity to resume the workings OF this mine, which
is believed TO be still rich with precious stones.
MIR. Allen the engineer Of the company, while
directing some important excavations in this
place. has discovered at great depth, traces OF
an ancient gallery, which must evidently be re-
ierred to the most remote antiquity. Upon TO
moving the rubbish, they found tools and ancient
utensils, and stone upon which is engraved a
Maroglypmc inscription, now partially deiaccd
This circumstance proves tie truth Of the opin-
ion expressed dy Belzoni, Oh the strength Of 9TH
or indications, that this mno was worked in an
Gent times.
The nature and form Of the implements dscov-
cred, and the CONFORMATION Of the gallery, the
couclusiyely that the ancient Egyptians were
skilltul engineers. 1t seems from examination
of the stone which has been discovered, that
the first labors in the mines of Iabarau were
commenced in the reign Of Sesos.rs the Great,
or RANGES Sesostrls, who, according to the most
generally received opinion, lived about the year
1850 before Christ, ard who is celebrated by
his immense couQucsts, as wei as by the in

Remarkable Tomb 1or a Horse,


A Partisan pen gives the following English
event for history:
At the recent race at Ascot the famous horse
Tiberius broke his leg by bounding against one
of the posts of the barrier, while preparing for
the race. His owner, Lord SIilbank lost ten
thousand pounds in bets u9oS him, besides his
value, and others lost hcavIy-the law Of the
course being that all lost bets shall be paid wheth-
er the failure to win come from accident or less
speed
Three days afterwards, Lord NTbank gave a
very sumptuous dinner. The most dstinruisb-
ed of the English Pcerage were present, and the
conyiviality ran high. Towards the close, the
noble host arose in his place, and proposed to
drink to the departed liberals. 1t was clamo-
rously received but the speaker remained stand
ing, with his glass in his hand.
"We drink to Tiberius,' said Lord Millbank,
when the shouts subsidized, ''the most beautiful.
the most admirable, the most spirited courser
whose hoofs ever trod British turf.
Shouts rose again to the roof.
" You know continued his Lordshp d" the a.
chevement of this horse. His deeds belong to
history. Fame has taken charge of his glory
But it belonged to me--to you my lords and gen

rial worthy of his dcscrvings. He has it. NV

toasted on him to-day. Yes, my lords and
gentlemen! this meat which you have relished
50 keenly--the dishes which awakened such
inquiry as to what animal could be so delicious
1t was Tiberius. My noble courser reposes
in your stomachs! May your digestions be
light"
AT these words, the enthusiasm concentrated
for moment-possibly with some vague thought
of an in mediate resurrection--but, with a
sudden burst of hurrahs the idea took the turn
sent to join the departed in his metempsycho-
sis.

TERMS OF ADVENTIST
Peers First Effort In oratory.

Soon after Peel was bonn, his father, the first
baronet, finding himself rising daily in wealth
and consequence, and believing that money in
those peculiar days could always command seat
in parliament, determined to bring up his son
expressly for the House of Commons. When
that son was quite child, Sir Robert would fire.
quenty set him on the table, and say: "Now
Robin, make a speech and will give you this
cherry" What few words the little fellow
could produce were applauded, and applause
stimulating exertion produced such effects that
before Robin was ten years old, he could ad-
dress the company with some degree Of elo-
quence. As he grew up, his father constantly
took him every Sunday into his private room and
made HIM repeat as well as he could the sermon
which had been preached. Little progress in
ettecung this was made, and little expected at
first; but by steady perseverance and the habit
OF attention the sermon was repeated verbatim.
