Chapter XXII.-The InsurTectiOn.
THE sun had reached its mid day track,
as a mendicant, needless of the stern COM
mand of the guards, pressed his way into
the palace. Two who were more fearless
than the rest, drew their swords, yet there
was something in the stern, restless glance
of the stranger that bid them beware, and
drawing back, they allowed him to pass.
Although the tattered garb completely
concealed his form, yet the reader might
easily trace in the fine form and handsome
features of the mendicant, :he brigand,
Aleppo A stern resolve was stamped
upon his noble countenance, while scorn-
full smile played around his lips. On, on
he passed through the gorgeously fur
nished halls, until he arrived at the royal
chamber.
stranger, what would you here p de-
manded the leader of the guards, con-
fronting the mendicant.
Il would speak in private with the
king
And thy business p
is best known to myself returned the
brigand, in bold fearless tone.
Then keep it to thyself You cannot
pass here
Nevertheless would see the king
sThen is thy business so urgent2' 2
1t is of vast Importance to the king
Yet thy name p
sAbu Ajax

sThou heard'st Alright
Then follow me, for the shah has long
been waiting thee
A deep meaning smile stole over the
features of Aleppo, and following the
guard. he was ushered into the presence
of Ashraf The king started back with
amazement, as his glance fell on the men
dicant, and bitter smile wreathed his
lips
Sire, I bring before thee Abu Allak,
the Moor spoke the leader of the guard,
approaching the throne and kneellng be-
fore the monarch.
The Moor gasped the king, half
starting from his throne.
'Ay, sire, Abu Allak, the Moor
'Ah, Allak, Allah must have sent thee
yet why this tattered garb2'
That I might not be known, Sire
yet you have nothing to fear, Ajax

Tell me, homeless wanderer, tell me,
For the storm il growing wild,
What sad fortune hath befel thee,
Art thou some lone orphan childq
Wandering, while the dismal tempest
Breaths its low and fearful tone,
And the cheerful fire is glowing,
Bright in many cheerful home
"Ah, my friend, no kindly welcome
Greets me on this desert wild;
Others have their homes and fresides,
But am nobodys child"
I" For my fate no heart is beating,
And my grief no eye can see,
Others meet their cheerful greeting.
But nobody cares for me.
Words of love, and pleasant faces,
Thoughts of mercy, voices mild,
Ne'er my hspless lot embraces,
For am no'adys child"
When thy bosom heaves with SORROW,
Anguish RACKS thy youthful head,
Who will light thy gloomy morrowa
What kind hand will smooth thy bede
Falls there ne'er a tear above thee,
When thy heart is growing faint
None to listen, none to love thee,
When thou makest thy complaint?
Nay, this world is cold, unfeeling,
Full of vain contempt and scorn,
Mercy still her face concealing,
Mid the pelting, winter storm"
Wanderer, there are floating round thee
Ardent longings, all unseen;
Some warm tear for thee is falling,
Some kind voice for thee is calling,
Mid this desolated scene
Tender spirits, gone before thee,
Hover on their Silly wings,
Yet thou canst not hear their music.
Flung from tender spirit strings;
Or, perchance, there yet may linger,
On the earth, or on the sea,
Some kind spirit, true and faithful,
Some lone heart that beats for thee
"Nay, they tell me am passing
To the lone and quiet tomb;
Sure it seems dreary pathway,
Covered by the deepest gloom.
There, they tell me, pain and sorrow
No more hunt the troubled breast;
There the cold world always points me,
AS the only place of rest"
But I've heard or dreamed I heard il,
Of"Our Father" in the skies;
Will He mark the lonely dwelling,
Where my worthless body lies
Will He, from his home above me,
Write the names of those who love me?
Ger my grave, in letters wild,
Will he trace " nobodys childs''

Hurriedly plungiag over the snow,
Through the rocky pass the coursers go.
With might and main,
In toll and pain,
Each muscle and nerve to the traces strain
Perchance they spy,
With fear-hred eye,
Prowlihg for prey the wild bear nigh,
Or hear his hoarse and hungry cry

Through the crispng rays Of the sun, we go.

And joys and mrth around me throng.

SHARP PRAcrIcE.-We have heard Of many
instances of sharp practice on the part Of "een-
tlemen Of the bar" but none goes ahead Of ono
we heard related the other day:
When ]. L. Curtenius, now a prominent
member Of the profession in Western New
York, first went TO Iockport he had a case in
volving the title or possession Of house and
lot. When he came into court he found that
his whole dependence was on the testimony of
ih- mon 6fee;H. Ureeh was called to the sta6d.-
The opposite counsel objected to him. The
objection was argued and sustained, and Curte-
MUS was appafently hoofed. A bright idea
struck him, however. He beckoned to his
clerk, Lamonte, who is also prominent mem
Der Of the bar Of western New York. He came;
c. whispered in his ear few moments, when
he had Green were seen to leave the court
room together. Now for the next move
Time mus, be killed Cuttenius commenced
speech-he spoke on-the court frowned-the
opposing counsel objected-the jury became in
dignant and the audience impatient. All agreed
that C. was making fool Of himself. An
hout passed-ever an anon the opposite counsel
would pop up and object to his proceeding far
ther. Curtenius argued the poinis-which
were invariably decided agains; him. The
court house door opens-Lamonie and Green
enter--Curenus, with well expressed indgna-
lion at being constantly overrued, took his seat.
The court inquiries "IIave you any other
witnesses TO offer, Mr. Curtenius !" ''Yes, sir."
Solomon Green was called-up jumps the op
posi,e counsel. ''May il please the court
this is the witness that has just been rejected
it is almost contempt to bring him on to the
stand again." Mr- clrtepiRs N,asasO 's-i--i
''No, sir, hare just rcnlored."
A shout from bar and audience rewarded the
clever ruse Of the counsellor the disquslihca-

day The efficient and pnnctual Chief Marshal.
Gen. Nathan Heard, Of Worcester, stated tho
evening previous that he should be punctual--
that he should have his procession seated in tho
church at eleDea O'Clock, aud at half.pasi one he
should have them at The dinner table. This
promise he fulfilled to the letter. AS The clock
struck eleven The Band were taking their seats
in tho gallery and At halEpast one the larger
portion of the company were seated at the Ia
bles for dinner. The good effect of this punc-
tuality was seen tifrodgh5ui tho day. Every
Thing passed OF smoothly and there was ample
time at the table for all who wished 10 speak.
Suchs punct0ality is as commendable as il is
rare, and is worthy Of imitation. In order to
be Pone,ual, Geh. Heard had 10 move his pro-
cession and had actually got most of il into
the Church before The 6fai5r arrived. The ell
oqucnt gentleman was, however, on the spot in
season 10 discharge the duties devolsing upon
him, and the punciualty Of The Chief Marshal
saved 10 the audience the halfhours DELAY
which waiting for him would have occasioned.
Much, very much of the enjoyment Of the Fes-
ival is to be attributed to the piiisfaahfy which
marked every movement Of the day. And as
II has been demonstrated that punciuality on
such an occasion is possible, we hope hereafter
on similar occasions to see il strictly observed.
