The SMYRNA Riots.

Ii is gratifying to find our Navy exhibiting
symptoms of life. Commodore Strngham of
the Mediterranean squadron, has made himself
heard at Athens, and talked in the manifest
and friendest way with the Sultan. We can
not praise too warmly tho guarded, yet sutii-
ciently explicit language of S, ,mpathy address
sed TO Abdul Medjid, tho defender of Kossuth,
and The courageous antagonist OF the Car. 1t

such troublous moments it is satisfactory to
know that our snug little feet in those waters

plauded by the men, who stood in an
outer circle looking on, and clapped their
hands when the Fdstnio (betrothed) looked
innocently confused at such an Gpropos
accident. When her crown was off, [
thought the play was over, but now came
the struggle. The matrons made a
dancing attack on the ranks of the single
sisters, who enclosed the bride. The
former were to take, the latter to retain
her if possible.
For my part, knowing we formed fora
lorn hope, and believing that the object Of
our defence was traitor in the camp, L
should, perhaps, had thought about it,
have done just what | did but | did not
think, for in the confusion | miStook one
party for the other, and getting my arms
round the passive bride, fairly drew her
into the circle of matrons: and dare say
the captured one thanked me for putting
an end to the contest. Then the same
thing was acted with the bridegroom,
who had stood calmly looking On at his
young wife's troubles, only his treatment
was rougher and sooner over. The mar
ried men having got him, the single
brethren seized him in their arms, and
gave him a farewell fling towards the
ceiling, which the interposition of the
chandelier prevented his reaching. The
horror of our poor hostess on this occa-
sion formed the most laughable part of
the scene: unable either to make herself
heard or seen by the actors in it, and
equally unable | suppose, 10 resist the in
flucnce Of the wild rattling music, she ca
pered round the group, who were tossing
the recreant. to the imminent peril of her
chandelier, her arms and hands stretched
out towards it, as if she fain would shell
ter it within them: her mouth wide open,
and her eyes as full Of terror as if she
saw the royal ghost rafting the glass
pendants, that shook and jingled at every
heave of the bridegroom. At last, hav-
ing fairly turned the soles of his feet TO
the ceiling, they turned them downward
again, and Set him on them, looking Just
as equable and pleasant as ever. 1t was
now three o'clock in the morning: the
covered sledge was waiting, the great man
of the party-there is great man at all
parties-was to leave me at home len
deavored to express my thanks, but was
met with expressions of great thankful
ness for the honor had conferred: and so
| came away. | do not think that any,
tning conld give me more favorable idea
of the manners Of the Swedish people
than the conduct which [ saw on this
occasion"

A Swedish Wedding.

The following interesting account of a
wedding in Sweden is from Chambers
Edinburgh Journal, to which it was con-
tributed by young lady:
This ceremony, [ had been told, would
take place at six o'clock, and at six had
come: but an hour or two in Swedish
time makes not quite so much difference
as minute or two does in English. |
spent such extra hour or two in as stupid
and cOmtortleSs manner as possible.
The few persons who were in the room
seemed to be awc-struck the bridegroom
behaved very properly, and showed less
impatience than the priest, whose looks
would have threatened premature mat
rimonial reprimand if he had been the
chosen spouse Of the dilatorv bride: the
restless eyes and nervous movements of
the snuff box were indicative Of impa-
tience.
At length crowd Of guests came
trooping in: the women all in large
white shaWls, and nearly all in black silk
dresses. Then, soon after, there was a
low murmur and the priest starting up,
took large pinch Of snuff, used colored
handkerchief, and, returning it to his
pocket, drew out very large clean white
one, and rolled one corner round his fore
finger, allowing the rest to hang down to
his feet. The officiating clergy of Sweden
always carry a white handkerchief thus !:
but as it is not, suppose, prescribed
part of the Lutheran clerical habit, it's
purpose is quite puzzling to me. A slight
movement on the part of the bridegroom
turned my eyes to the door it opened,
and large party entered. The leader
was a young, slight. and rather delicate
looking girl, dressed in black, with a
long sash of white ribbon round her
waist, and crown of the natural narrow
leaved myrtle on her head Next to her
came three young girls in white and
colored dresses; and then the relatives of
the bride.
The young man came forward, took the
hand of the girl in black with the myrtle
crown, and silently led her up to the otto
man. The priest was already behind it,
with open book and pendant handker-
chief: few minutes and all was over
The most solemn silence prevailed. The
matTons appeared to me universally to

Spiritual Rappings.

As late l lay in bed,
| heard light, slow tread;
Which filled my soul with dread,
And sudden fear!
l know not how or why,
As slumbering heavily,
That sound mysteriously
Fell on my ear;
The tread was soft and light,
Yet froze my blood with fright;
On that eventful night,
1t murdered sleep"
The sound fell or MY ear
1t came distinct and clear,
Fearful and deep.
Trembling, [ strained my sight,
Peered deep into she night,
In dread 10 see a spri:e,
But all was dag,
Dark, dismal ard profound,
Throwing Il pail around:
Aaught save that one low sound
[ heard. But hark
hear sudden tap,
A fearful. ominous rap,
Upon an ancient map,
Against the wall
No breeze the canvass shook,
And vainly did | look
Into the dark, drear nook,
TO see it fall /!
1t hung against the wall
1t ratified not at all.
1t did not stir nor fall j..
Nor even move,
Ny hair stood up-I spoke,
The dreadful silence broke
Fear did my utlerarce choke.
| did not love
To pray-had never pray'd;
Yet something must be said,
For silence only weigh'd
Upon my heart,
[ tried TO pray, and yet
All prayers | did forget;
And as the Alphabet
| KNOWN part.
I said it. On a chair
The spirit Of the air,
RAJ ped when I came to r,
And so, at that,
L went on, Still TO see
What the effect would be;
1t raped at \ and 7.
Spelt r AT,
My case began to mend.
Sweet hope became my friend,
My hair (Which stood on end,
From torturing fear,
When first hat chilling rap
That wild mysterious rap,
Upon that ancient map,
Fell on my ear.
SO ominous and dread
Suggestive of the dead,
/ tremb!ed in my bed,)
Lay smoothly down.
My hair, which had stuck out,
And kept my head about
y foot, | have no doubt,
From OF. my round
White pillow! Like my rhyme,
My anger grew sublime,
And III the nick Of time,
| clutched a boot,
Firm IN MY new-nery'd hand,
Like Mars, | took my stand,
TO threaten and command"
Prepared tc shoot
| boldly cried, whats that?n
More boldly called out, scat -
Then threw the boot! The RAT
Fell at pop

And fears entirely fled
Slept like a top.

The Printer.


q pity the printer" said Uncle Toby,
Hes a poor creature y replied Trim.
How so" said my uncle
Because, in the first place." continued
the corporal, looking full upon my uncle,
g because he must endeavor to please
every body. In the negligence Of mo-
ment, perhaps small paragraph pops
upon him, he hastily throws it to the
compositor it is inserted and he is ruined
TO all intents and purposes"
Too much the case, Trim" said nv
uncle. with deep sigh. TOO much the
case"
go on, Trim" said my uncle.
The printer, sometimes" +" pursued the
corporal, " hits upon piece that pleases
him nightly, and he thinks it cannot but
90 down with his subscribers. But alas
sir, who can calculate the human mind?
He inserts it, and all is over with him.
They forgive others, but they cannot for
give the printer. He has host to print
for, and every one sets up for a critic
The pretty Miss exclaims, why don't
you give us more poetry, marriages, and
bon mots? away with these stale pieces"
The politician claps his specs over his
nose, and reads it over in search of vio-
lent invective; he finds none, takes his
specs off, folds them, sticks them in his
pocket, declares the paper good for no.
thing but to burn. So it goes. Every one
thinks it ought to be printed expressly
for himself, as he is subscriber: and vet
after all this complaining, would you be-
lieve it, sir" said the corporal, claspinp
his hands beseechingly, would you be.
lleve- 1T, sir, there are some subscribers
who do not hesitate to cheat the printer
out of his pay. "Our army swore terribly
in Flanders: but they never did any thing
so bad as that"
Never" said nv uncle Toby, with
the strongest kind of emphasis.
A JoKE.-In old Vermont, some time
past, lived queer old man named Fuller.
He had lost part of his palate and was a
rare specimen. He owned a mill, the
water to which was brought for some
way through a wooden flume One morn
ing an apprentice informed him that the
fume was full Of suckers. Fuller posted
himself at its mouth, placing against it q
large basket to catch the suckers in, while
the boy went to the other end to hoist the
gate. There came rush Of many wa.
tiers" carrying Fuller and basket over the
overshot wheel and thirty feet below
All dripping, and scrambling out, sput-
tering, "you may think am an old idiot.
