Misrellaneuus,
From Boat Life in Egypt.
THE WANE OF THE CRESCENT.
BY W. C. PRIME.

It is profoundly interesting to stand in a
spot where daily, for thousand years, the
prayers of men have been offered up; where
the stones are worn with the knees of sin
cere if mistaken believers where there has
never been a day, since the ninth century
when the voice of the muezzin was not
heard across the court and through the
shadoWy arches uttering that simple and
sublime passage that has been SO often ut
tered above this city and all the east, that
one might think the air would sound it with
its own morning wings forever after: "God
is great. There is no deity but God Mo-
hammed is Gods apostle. Come to prayer,
come to prayer prayer is better than sleep;
come to prayer. God is most great. There
is no God but God"
At monday and at sunsetting the same
chant has filled these arches with solemn
melody. One cannot stand and hear it now
with the same voice that uttered it ten CEN
turies ago, though the men through whose
thin lips it escaped on the air are the dead
dust Of those centuries. Age is sublime. =
A creed though false, is nevertheless mag
nifcent if it be old and cannot look upon
these tottering walls, these upheaving pave
ments, these crumbling towers, without a
melancholy regret stealing in along with
other feelings, that this worship, this creed,
is approaching it's end, and that the day is
s fast coming when Islam and the creed of
the prophet will be to man like the memo
ries Of Isis and Apis-shadows fitting a
round the ruins of old Egypt. In broad

/ never intended to fall in love
With less than six feet in height;
A boundless beard and fathomless purse
Had always been my delight
His pale high brow. said, shall be swept
BY masses of black waving hair
A strange, sad light in the cavernous eyes,
A shadow, but not of care;
A dark, stern face turned out to the world,
But, glowing, turned inward to me;
A heart locked and barred to the strangers ap-
proach.
But have the golden key;
A voice like the South wind in murmuring love
Thunder-toned in deneuncing the wrong,
And a name banded down from the long ago
days
Embalmed in the troubadour's song.

HOW 1T IS.

HOW IT IS.
Well, here we have him. Pray give a glance
To the gentleman vis-a-vis,
lnteDtly engaged with chickens wing
And cup of his favorte tea.
A round, good natured, full moon of face.
Eyes blue as the summer sky;
With the locks on his forehead-weII, auburn
t.least,
Not to menrfon a ruddier dye.
He daily tolls for his daily bread,
He's the merriest fellow alive;
At eight in the morning, in high-heeled boots,
He measures but five feet five.
He bears in his bosom the biggest heart
On this side the broad Atlantic;
His chin is as smooth as lawn in May,
And his name is by no means romantic.

George Smith, do you recollect the story
of David and Goliah?
Yes sir; David was tavern-keeper, and
Goliah was an Incorporate man.
Who told you that?
Nodoby I read it, and it said that Da-
vid fixed sling for Goliah, and Goliah got
slowed with it.
The Kansas herald of freedom., 1857-07-11
A Mistaken petition.

The Leavenworth Tines suggests that
the people south of the Kansas river are
infavor of the Topeka Constitution. By this
inuendo it would be inferred the editor
thought those north of the river were OPP
posed to it. That majority of the peo-
pie in Lawrence or Topeka may be in
favor of continuing to labor under tie
Topeka Constitution we will not deny, but
such is not the case with a majority "south
of the river" on the contrary, we are full
ly satisfied majority of the people have
come to the conclusion that nothing can
be gained by continuing their connection
with the movement any longer, and from
this forth will labor for something practi-
cable. 1t may be urged that the people
have almostunanimously signed a request
to Congress asking them to admit us as a
State under that Constitution. Such is
true, but it is not true that those who
signed that memorial propose to fest tfeir
action there. Instead of this, from this
forth they are in the field, and will use
any weapons they can get hold of to de-
feat the enemies of freedom. The Tope-
ka Constitution is good enough, and We
would all be satisfied to be admitted I'M
der it, but have no hopes Of being SO with
the next Congress virtually pledged against
