CARRYING BtNDLEs.-Many persons
have contemplate fear of being seen to
carry bundle, however small, having
the absurd idea that there is q social deg
relation in the act. The most trifing
as well as weighty packages must be sent
to them, no matter to how much incon-
venience Of others. This arises from
low kind of pride. There is pride that
is higher that arises from the concious-
ness of their being sometimes in the in
dividual not to affected by such acct
dents; worth and weight of character.
This latter pride was exhibited by the
American son Of Jerome Napoleon Bona
parta, while he was in college at Cam
bridge. He was one day carrying to his
room broom he had just purchased,
when be met friend, who noticing the
broom, with surprise exclaimed, sswhy
did you not have it sent home 2" II
am not ashamed to carry home anything
that belongs to me" was the sensible re-
ply Of young Bonaparte. Very different
pride was this from that of young lady
whom we know, who always gave her
mother all the bundles to carry when they
went out together, because she thought
1t vulgar to be seen with one herself

The ENGLISH AT A TURKISH HAREM.-
A correspondent of the London Times,
writing from Constantinople under the
date of May, says:
- Visits to the Sweet Waters of Europe
are now at an end, and the fashionables
of the Turkish world will soon have to
restore to the Sweet Waters of Asia at
some distance up the Bosphorus, nearly
opposite the Bebek. An amusing scene
took place on Friday at the former spot.
A gallant English gentleman was deter
mined to address few words to some
fair inmate Of the harsm. He asked a
friend to write down for him some COM
plimentary phrasesin the Turkish tongue,
such as % You are very pretty" at love
you," and so on. Armed with his docu-
ment, he visited the Sweet Waters, and,
selecting the prettiest face he could find,
he leaned in at the carriage window, and
proceeded to favor the lady with the con.
tents of the paper, which be drew from
his waistcoat pocket. A shrill shrek
from the eunuchs betrayed their horror
at this audacity. They rushed up and
attempted to drag him away. He re-
sisted, and one of the guardians drew his
sabre. Our countryman did the same,
AID the eunuchs fled in dismay. The
lad1y within highly enjoyed the scene, and
was n. UGH pleased at the discontinue Of her
tyrants. In fact, the fair creatures are
much more independent than of yore
the summary proceedings of former hus-
bands are now impossible I; and the ladies
have no longer before their eyes the ira
ditional terrors of the sack and the Bos-
phorus."
