A STRUGGLE WITH POISON.

I was spending some days not many years
ago, in beautiful little country village and
in family that had more than common at
fractions to one who loves domestic life as
we'll as myself. The little circle had in it
more of real interest than I had often seen
developed in the same number of persons.
The father of the family-almost too
young to feel yet that he was entitled to
that honorable appellation-was a fine,
frank-hearted young mechanic, with world
of bounding life in his veins, and energy
that, when fully aroused, drove everything
violently before him, and warmth of dis
position that gave him more friendship, than
it had given him of the goods of this world.
His wife, to whom he had been married
four years, was singularly beautiful They
had two children-the one a laughing,
browu-eyed and brown-haired little fairy Of
three years. Her name was Eveleen The
second was Growing, laughing, blue-eyed,
plump little beauty of less than year,
promising to have all the charms of the
older at her age.
I was sitting one afternoon in quiet lit
tic room with my feet upon two chairs, read
ing a pleasant book, in state between a.
sleep and awake-my host away at his shop,
a hundred yards off, and my pretty hostess
engaged in her household labors-When [
was thrown out of my Incidence by scream
that brought me to my feet like an electric
shock. 1t was woman's voice, end had in
it an excess4of agony that cannot be indcat-
ed in words, so loud that it rang over that
quiet little village and broug BIT every one
forth to ascertain the cause.
sprang to the door that separated the
sitting-room from the dining apartments, and
saw the whole at glance. The young
mother stood at the door with her frst-born
our darling Eveleen-in her arms, dying
A brief and hurried word from the servant
told me the sad story. The little girl had
accompanied child uncle up stairs, and
while the attention of the older child was
for moment turned away, ,she seized bottle
of corrosive sublimate in alcohol, and had

when the beautiful wife blessed him through
her kisses and tears, and all knew that under
God only such almost fierce determination
could have saved the child, and the father
sat down unnerved and wept like child.
Not in "Little Sister Eveleen" did the
poison do its fearful office Eveleen is alive
to day, and her bright eyes have opened up
to womanhood. But there is no hour in my
life that brings so thrilling a recollection as
the young fathers struggle for the life of his
child.

sAGACITY OF THE BEAR.

Several anecdotes which were related to
me by our guide. concerning the habits Of
the bear, would seem to entitle him to q
higher position in the scale of animal in.
stinct and sagacity than that of almost any
other quadruped. For instance, he says
that before making his bed to lie down, the
animal invariably goes several hundred
yards with the wind, at distance from his
track. Should an enemy now come upon
his track, he must approach him with the
wind; and with the bears keen sense Of
smell, he is almost certain to be made aware
of his presence, and has time to escape be.
fore he is himself seen.
He also states that when pursued, the
bear sometimes takes refuge in caves in the
earth or rocks, where the hunter often en-
deavors, by makiuga smokeat the entrance,
to force him out; but it not unfrequently
happens that, instead of coming out when
the smoke becomes too oppressive, he very
deliberately advances to the FIRE, and with
his fore.feet beats upon it till it is extin-
guished; then retreats into the cave. This
he assured me he had often seen. Al
though these statements would seem to en-.
dow Bruin with something more than mere
animal instinct, and evince conception of
the connection between cause and effect,
yet another anecdote which was related to
me would 60 to prove this curious quadru-
ped one of the most stupid fellows in the
brute creation.
Ny informant says that when the bear
cannot be driven out Of the cave by smoke,
it sometimes becomes necessary for the
hunter to take his rife, and with torch to
enter the cavern in search Of him. One
would suppose this very hazardous under
taking, and that the animal would soon
eject the presumptuous intruder; but, on
the contrary, as soon as he sees the light ap-
preaching, he sits upright on his launches,
and with his fore paws covers his face and
eyes, and remains in this position until the
light is removed. Thus the hunter is en-
abled to approach asc close as he desires with
out danger, and taking deadly aim with his
deadly rife, poor Bruiu is slain. These
facts have been stated to me by three diff
ferent Indians, in whose veracity 1 have
much confidence, and I have no doubt are
strictly true.-Captain Marcy's Erpedi-
ton.

DEcE1r.-If there is any being on the
face of Gods footstool that we detest, and
abominate it is two faced man, one who
greets you with an outstreched hand
smooth words and a smiling face, and yet
the moment your back is turned SCOTS about,
and reviles you, insinuates perhaps base
charges, which only a fendish malice can
invent, useing his vile and slanderous tongue
to stab your reputation, or that of your
family, ,and all probably to revenge himself for
some fancied wrong, to which his hateful
imagination gave birth, such beings should
be driven from among men, and be COM
PEELED to wander up and down the earth,
branded like Cain, with the scorn and de-
rision of every decent human being.

DAMAscUs.-Independently of its central
position, Damascus has attractions in itself
superior, perhaps, to any city in the East
We have heard of "rose-red cities half as
old as time" but Damascus is at least as old
as any received history, and is, in fact, the
oldest city we know of which preserves to
this day its original importance. From the
time when Abraham left his home " between
the rivers" to journey westward to the
Land of Promise" its name has been
familiar; its beauty and riches have been
proverbial for 1000 years, and it has been q
linz never broken, between the patriarchal
ages and that of the steam engine and elec.
trio telegraph. 1t has come under the do
ninion of David, of Jeroboam, of Pharaoh
Necho, of Nebuchadnezzar, of Alexander,
of the Ptolemies, Of Pompey, Of Cleopatra,
of Herod, of the Moslem of the Crusaders,
of Timour the Tarter, of the Sultans of
Constantinople, and the Pashas of Egypt,
yet it survives and still aourishes. Here is
still the "street called Strait" where Ana.
Mas came, directed by vision, to call for
zone called Saul of Tarsus." Here is still
shown window-by the way, Of Saraoenic
origin-from which it is said the apostle was
let down. Here is the site of St. Paul's
conversion, also misplaced, but the improb-
ability of which is even cited as proof of
its genuineness. And here are the tomb of
Saladin, the head of John the Baptist the
house of Naaman, and the Mosque Of Sui
tan Selim. So varied are the associations,
near and remote, real or apocyphsl, Of :
city which crowns them all BY its position
and luxuriant verdure, its gardens, its pas
ture, and its "lucid streams-its ALBANIA
and Pharphar, "bstter than all the waters
Of Iarael."-M 2 Depash

EGYPTIAN HAREM.

DR.. Hume was admitted into the harem
at Hassan Bey, and saw three of its inmates.
They were seated in small room, on the
sides of which was divan, or sofa, covered
with crimson satin-a Turkey carpet being
spread on the middle of the aoor The
crimson satin was fancifully embroidered
with silver flowers. The ladies wore white
turbans of muslin, and their faces were con-
cealed with long wells, which, in fact, were
only large white handkerchlefs thrown care
lessly over them. When they go abroad,
they wear wells like the Arab women. Their
trousers were of red and white striped satin,
very wide, but drawn together at the ankle
with a silk cord, tied under their breasts
with girdle of scarlet and silver. Some
thing like q white silk shirt, with loose
sleeves, and open at the breast, was next
the skin. Over all was thrown pelisse
one Of them wore light blue satin, spangled
with small silk leaves, while the two others
were decked in pink, satin and gold. We
were treated with coffee, and were famed
by the ladies themselves, with large fans-a
perfume being at the same time scattered
through the room. This was composed Of
rose water, great quantity of which is made
in Fayoun. They were reserved, at first ;
but, after conversing with the Mamlouk who
attended me, they were less careful to con-
ceal their faces. Their beauty did not equal
what I had anticipated, from the 6neness Of
their skins They were inclined to corpu-
lence; their faces were round and inexpres.
sive; but their necks, bosoms, arms and
hands were of great fairness and delicacy.
My dress seemed to amuse them very much,
and they examined every part of it-partic-
ularly my boots and spurs. When drinking
coffee with the Turkish officers, I CHANGED to
forget my handkerchief; and as seemed to
express desire to find it, one Of the ladies
took off handkerchief, and presented it to me.
