THE WHITE SLAVE TRADE OF
THE CIRCASSIANS.

A letter from Trezbond, dated May
25th, translated from the French, for
the ". Y. Tribune, affords the very in
teresting account Of the Circassian slave
trade.
The writer notices the arrival at the
Quarantine at Fierebons, of two hun
dred Circassians with live cargo:
g The traders, who are the steady
friends of Shamyl, the Mohammed of
the Caucasus, and the bitter and deter
mined enemies Of Nicholas, whom in
their figurative language, they call the
Vultnre of the Snow, had for sale forty
packages of human flesh. They were
made up of dozen children of from
four to eight years old, and of thirty
females ranging between fifteen and
thirty. The superintendent of the Laz-
arctic made the merchants and their
wares stand in line, so that we had an
opportunity of making thorough ex-
animation of the parties. Their figure
was as exquisitely beautiful as that of
woman their limbs were plump and
muscular; their hands and feet were
small ; their complexion swarthy-pro-
duced by exposure to the mountain air
but their countenances, notwithstanding,
bore the impress of gentleness and
manly courage their chests were full
and rounded, and their sep as proud as
that of a monarch upon the stage
Their costume was very pcturesqe, 1t
consisted of a great coat ornamented
with lambskin, and which fitted closely;
: of trousers cut after the Turkish fashion,
and made of light covered cloth of
cap of grey felt, with band of lamb
skin, the wool of which was long and
curled.
They wore red slippers without stock
ings, and cloak Of lambkin or felt,
with which they wrapped themselves
with the utmost dignity. After having
visited the merchants, we approached
the individuals they had for sale, as
near as the guard would permit us. The
little Circassians and the females were
ranged before the doors of the cells,
and from their anxious air seemed to in
auire whether we were about 10 pur-
chase them. The children were beau
.inI 10th in form and countenance.
One of these females was exceedingly
beautiful She might be fifteen or six
teen years old; the look she gave US
was that of proud and naughty soul,
but in her manner there was nothing of
that pensiye agitation which we had re-
marked ia her companions and even in
the little children. Her large, open,
and lustrous eyes were expressive of a
mind that was at once both bold and
calm She no doubt imagined that her
beauty would be her protection, and
even her future master could not help
but feel its influence. 1t would, indeed,
be difficult to give anything like an ade-
quate description of this woman. But
| have seen portraits which have a
strong resemblance to her; they were,
however, the works of great masters,
which | then believed to have been the
creation of their fancy, and not the
representations of any human beings.

The True and Constant Heart.
BY VIM. EARL BINDER.


Oh, keep your houses and your lands.
Though poor, craze them not
l only ask for one true heart
To share my humble lot.
Oh, what is wealth and what are lands,
In sickness and distress:
But sure true and loving heart
VIII bring more happiness.
Give me true and constant heart,
To share my veal and woe,
Content to follow on my steps
Wherever may go.
A heart from whose deep, inmost cell
Fond PHYS tear will start
When mems ingratitude shall make
My bosom pain and smart.
Away with wealth. away with lands,
But little joy they bring;
And often, like serpent, they
Will charm us but to sting.
An honest heart. if true it be,
Is worth a world of gold,
And brings to its possessor joys
Unthought of and untold
l would not sell the kindly word
That from a true heart springs,
For all the pomp that clusters round
The greatest of earth's kings.
Men still may strive for wealth and lands
Like shadows they depart,
seek to win more lasting bliss,
A true and constant heart,
Oh, struggle on for wealth and fame,
You'll find them bubbles all;
But true heart is still the same,
In cottage or in hall
Misfortune cannot alter it,
Gold cannot buy its truth,
And tbs the same in gray old age
AS It's in sunny youth.
sing the true and loving heart
That beats in woman's breast,
OF all that men can win on earth,
The brightest and the best.
In sickness and in pain it gives
What wealth and fame cannot;
And it will ease the fiercest pang,
And light the darkest lot.

Gustavus Adolphus, King of Sweden,
hearing that two officers were to fight a
duel, directed that it should be fought
in his presence. They met at the APP
pointed time, and saw to their asionish-
ment a gallows erected on the spot
The king told them TO commence the
fight as soon as they p,elsed; but,
pointing to the gallows, added, | am re-
solved the conqueror Shall be hanged By
the neck, and his opponent by the heels
Dismayed at this, they retired in silence,
