A TURKISH Observation-Disclosures from
Constantinople mention the arrival in that city
of youth from fourteen to sixteen years OF
age, accompanied by several hundred warriors.
This youth, who is native of remote coun-
try in the interior OF Asia Minor, is the off
spring of woman fifty years of age, and on
that account the mother looked upon him as
destined for great things feeling which
seems to have been shared by her neighbors
and all the province. The child was taken to
the mosque. On his right arm an Arabic
versehas been inscribed, signifying Thou
wilt die Martyr" whilst on the left, the
happy prophesy, "Thou wilt be great man, p
is carved in Eastern characters. This youth
was from his birth destined for military ca
reery and generally regarded with feelings Of
respectful veneration by his fellow-country-
men. He has now grasped standard, and,
surrounded by his friends and followers, is
hurrJ ling to the war. His youthful appear.
ance while riding through the streets Of SIAM
boul at the head of his followers, has given
rise to the report that heroine II Ia Joannd
II Arc had started up for the cause of the
crescent. A warrior-womam has, however
appeared in Anatola, surnamed Karak-Kas
Tor the Black Girl,) and she is leader o.
some thousand horsemen.

A DINNER IN CHINA.

A dinner for thirty persons awaited us in a
low room, poorly lighted by the sunbeams
which fell into an inner court. The Manda-
aims, we'll wrapped up in their warm pelisses,
deied the damp and cold atmosphere, against
which our uniforms afforded but a poor pro-
lection. A China dinner is no longer noy-
city, but is always frightful affair--we may
add, terrible reminiscence for European sto-
machs. The desert alone could have found
grace In our eyes, and it was with that we
commenced. Two long rows of pyramids,
about three or four incheso in height,and COM
posed Of almonds, confectionery. dried and
preserved fruit, offered us on the moment of
entrance q pleasant prospect, which would
have made party of Partisan gamins bound
with Joy. After this innocent course. an.
peared two vessels filled with unknown com.
estibles, metal plates all smoking with the
nauseous vapors Of rancid oil and melted
tat !; then, before each guest, the domestics
placed bowls filled to the brim with pheas-
ants or pigeons eggs, gelatinous balls, or
white threads, that snapped beneath the
teeth like violin strings. 1t was neeessarv
to wash down these. nasty mixtures with
cups OF sugarless tea, Or Of sam-chou, an in.
sipld and empy reumatic beverage, obtained
by the distillation Of rice. Fictitious cham.
payne, and several sorts Of Spanish wine.
were handed round among this frightful pell.
mel, and added their European poison to The
native ones. Then, when this gastronomit
punishment seemed ended,--when each o
jas had received from our Chinese friend,

some morsel taken by these amiable epicuri,,
ans from their own plates,-when we had
willy nilly, done honor to their offerings
cleverly carried on chop-sticks, we arrived at
the discovery that the actual dinner had not
vet commenced. A number of walters came
in to the salon, laden with roast pig and
mutton, fowls, geese, ducks-a whole dairy.
yard impaled on the spit. In. our presence :
the caryers, resting their dirty hands on the
bleeding meat, cut up the food and then Of;
fered it to US. Happy the iron stomachf
that could resist so many assaults happy the
hearts that did not rise from sheer disgust
At last the Viceroy took pity on his guests
the bowls of rice appeared on the table, and
after this homage paid to the Chinese staff o
life, we were permitted to rise, returning
thanks to Heaven, for not having succumbet
to our first Chinese dinner"

LORD ELDoN AND THE CH1MNEY-SwEEp.
Travelling the circuit with companion
who, according to custom not uncommon in
those days,always carried pistols with him and
placed them under his pillow; they slept one
night at an inn, and at dawn of day Mr. Scott
discovered in his bedroom mans figure,
seemingly dressed in black. The intruder,
being sharply challenged, said, Please your
honor, l am only poor sweep, and | believe
I've come down the wrong chimney" "My
FRIEND" was the reply, you have come down
the right; for give you sixpence to buy a
pot Of beer; while the gentleman in the other
room sleeps with pistols under his pillow, and
had you paid him visit he would have blown
your brains ont..-Lord CampbelPs Lines

AN IRISH FUNERAL.

The European correspondent of the Boston
Whchman and Ref, ctor, writing from Cork
says:- s.a....

English acquaintance, to visit that exquisite
SPOT. formerly known as the Botanic Gardens,
but which has been sold or leased to Father
Mathew, who has turned it into cemetery.
1t lies mile or more out Of the city, on our
way to which, we observed funeral, accom-
panied by all the cutlery used on such occa-
sons. Presently we discovered a noise OF
another kind, proceeding from the ranks OF
the funeral, which was composed OF two par
ties, the friends of the deceased man, and the
friends of his deceased wife. An alteration
was carried on in high words between the con,
tending parties, as to whether he should be
buried with his wife at the Battomy Gardens
or whether he should lie with his own kith
and kim some miles westward from there.
"The noise grew louder, until they came
to where the road forked off, when the con-

and lying about the street in all directions
The Battomy Garden party carried the day
and bore the corpse off at something faster
than funeral pace, until they arrived within
two hundred yards of the cemetery gate
Another funeral within about the same dis
lance, was approaching from an opposite di.
rection, when Immediately there was 'whew,
and race between the bearers of the respec.
tive corpses to gain entrance first, within the
walls. The gate-keeper was away, and the
key in his pocket. The bearers as one of the
corpses surrounded the gate, and kept posses
sion of considerable space around it,endeav
oring all the while to smash the lock with t
huge stone. The other funeral drew back
some PAGES, few stout men mounting thu
bier deliberately took the coffin, and threw i
over the high stone wall which surrounds thu
cemetery, and when done, hourished thei

VICTORY AND REwARD.-"A decent coun-
try woman" said an English divine, "came
to me one market-day, and begged to speak
with me- She told me- with an air of secrecy,
that her husband behaved unkindly to her,
and that knowing me to be wise man, l
could tell her what would cure him. The
remedy is simple said l; always treat your
husband with smile The woman thanked
Inc, dropped a courtesy, and went away. A
few months after she came again, bringing a
couple of fine fowls. She told me with great
satisfaction that l had cured her husband
and she begged my acceptance of the fowls in
return. This was at once the victory of love
and the reward of patience"

UTILITY OF PocKErs.--Among the strange
subjects chosen by Southey, in his " Doctor"
for chapter,are pockets; and he thus speaks
of them: -..
"Ot all the inventions Of the tailor, I hold
the pocket to be the most commodious, and,
saving the fg-leaf, the most indispensable.
Birds have their craw, and Illuminating beasts
their first or ante-stomach; the monkey has
his cheek, the opossum her pouch and SO
necessary is some provision of this kind for
the human animal, that the savage, who cares
not for clothing, makes himself pocket if he
can. In Congo, some Of the inhabitants make
secret fob Of their woolly toupet,o of which,as
p. Labal says, the worst use they make is
to carry poison in it. The Matolats, long
haired race who border on the Cafres, form
their locks into sort Of hollow cylinder, in
which they bear their little implements. The
New zealander is less ingenious; he makes
q large opening in his ear and carries his knife
in it.

From the Green Mountain Herald
FRUIT CULTURE.--NO.6 6.

TRANsPLANTING.
Nearly all fruit trees are first raised in the
nurseries, and then removed to their final po-
sition in tho orchard Or fruit garden. Upon
the manner of their removal, depends not on
their slow or rapid growth, their feebeness or
vigor afterwards, but it is in the highest de-
gree important to understand and practice
well this transplanting. x
The season best adapted to transplanting
fruit trees. is matter open to much differ
ence of opinion among hortculturists,a differ
ence founded mainly on experience. without
taking into account variations of climate and
soil. In climate where the ground is closed
by frost Immediately after the fall of the leaf,
as in the southern part of New England, and
on dry soil, autumn planting is preferred, i'm.
pediately after the fall of the leaf.
The tree is then in completely dormant
state. Whatever wounds may be made on the
roots, heal much sooner than in the spring,
and the earth becomes settled by the fall and
early spring rains, and are less liable to suf-
fer from the effects of drouth in early sum-
mer.
In the northern portions of the United
States, and especially in the central portion
of this State, where the winters commence
early, and are severe, spring planting is pre-
ferred.
The proper time in this climate is in early
in autumn, or in the spring, as soon as the
ground is in a fit condition, and before the
buds begin to expand.
1t is true that there are instances of excel.
lent success in planting at nearly all seasons,
except midsummer.
Some boast OF their success in transplant.
ing when the trees are in full leaf but their
success was undoubtedly owing to the damp
