LOVE and REvEScE.-An account Of the

LOVE and REvENGE-An account Of the
recent murder Of Turk BY Greek, is
thus given in the Journal des Debats
"At Trebizoned. two individuals one a
Greek, named Catinaki. and the other a
Turk. named Mnstapha Aga. paid their ad-
dresses to the same Turkish woman. The
lady naturally had preference for her ooun.
tryman. but the Greek was rich and amor
Gus, and. Us means Of bribe. he induced
his rival to promise that he would cease his
relations with her. 1t appears that the
Turk received the money. but did not keep
his word, and the matter coming TO the ears
of Catinaki, he resolved on revenge tic
in Consequence invited Mu-tapha Aga TO
dine with him. The invitation was accept
ed. but the Turk has not siucc been seen
Considerable agitation was caused by the
circumstance in the town, and the Turkish
population demanded vengeance. Catinaki
took refuge with the Greek consul he de-
clares that he is innocent. and that the
Turk has voluntarily left Trebizoncd. leav-
ing his friends or rather his accomplices, to
get up the report that he has been assassin
ated. At the first moment the Greek con-
sui refused to deliver up Catinaki, boldly
maintaining that he was the victim Of a
conspiracy but facts have since come to
light to contradict this idea. The governor
Of the town has arrested two persons who
were present at the dinner. and from their
confessions. it appears that Mustapha was
in fact killed during dinner BY pistol ball
by Catinaki himself. and that the body was
afterwards cut in pieces, put into box, and
thrown into the sea.

The loss of the great publishing Estab-
lishment of the Harpers, in New York is a
public calamity. Commencing life very
poor, they have risen by industry, perscver-
ance and an honorable course, to the very
summit in their line of business, and have
amassed fortune which they we'll deserve
and which, we hope will not be seriously af.
fected by their late. heavy loss. AsPub-
fishers they have established a high reputa-
ton, refIaining from the issue of indifferent
or immoral works, and encoura ginc with
praiseworthy hberality such works of ability
as were calculated to improve the NOR
ais. We learn that they will soon be able
to go ahead, as usual. They have, every
where, the sympathies of the intelligent and
good.

For the kisses of the sun
Still are lingering, warm and meek,
On the rudy, burning cheek

Softly up the deep on high,
Sails tho Moon, the bride of night,
Clothed in vestments pure and white.
Ger yon battlement afar,
Leans the peerless evening star;
Softly waves her golden hair,
On the bosom of the air;
Brightly CLEANS her jewelled crown,
As she leans a-gazing down,
From that terrace In the sky.
Star of night! thy flashing eye
Wakes the thTob of strong desires;

Till they burn, and cannot rest.

Not with these poor village sights,

Far away it scars, away

Hear, the fearful battle word
Look the gathering ranks they come!
Not heart beats now for home,
Not heart breathes forth 4 sigh,
For the loved for whom they d die.
Every passion of the breast,
Lives in this, which knows no rest,
As it bToathes tho fearful cry,
Give us death or victory :"
See, the snow grows red with gore;
See how fast they fall and die
Wounded, gasping, dead they lie;
Yet hear tho fearful cry,
"Give US death or liberty"
Mid the dying, mid the slain,
On the distant battle plain,
Not alone, hear the cry,
"Give us freedom, or We die
No, in this my own bright land,
Here, whore Freedoms spotloss hand
