An Arab Horse.

A Bedouin, named Jabal possessed mare
Of great celebrity. Hassan Pasha, then Gov
ernor of Damascus, wished 10 buy the animal,
and repeatedly made the owner the BIOS,
liberal offers, which j ,bsI steadily refused.
The Pasha then had recourse to threats, hut
with no bette- success. At length one Gafar,
Bedouin of another tribe, presented himself
to the Pasha, and asked him what he would
give the man who would make him master of
Jabars mare? Il will fill his horses nese-
bag with gold. replied Hassan. The result
of this interview having gone abroad. Jabal
became more watchful than ever, and always
secured his mare at night with an iron chain,
one end of which was fastened to her hind
fctlock, whilst the other, after passing thro'
the tent cloth, was attached to picket driv-
en- in the ground under the felt that served him
and his wife for bed But one night Gafar
crept silently into the tent, and loosened the
chain. just before starting off with his prize.
he caught up Jabars lance, and poAing him
with the butt end, cried out: Il am Gafar
| have stolen your noble mare, and will give
you notice IL time" This warning was in
accordance with the customs of the desert,
for to rob hostile tribe is considered an hon.
orable ex plot, and tn d. man who accomplishes
it is desirous of all the glory that may flow
from the deed. Poor Jabal, when he heard
the words, rushed out of the tent and gave
the alarm; then mounting his brothers mare.
accompanied by some of the tribe, he pur
sued the robbcr for four hours. The broth
er's mare was of the same stock as JabapS.
but not equal to her; but nevertheless, be
outstripped those of all the other pursuers,
| and was even on the point of overtakine the
robber, when Jabal shouted to him, pinch
her right ear and give her touch of the
heel Gafar did SO, and away went tho
mare like lightning, speedily rendering fur
ther pursuit useless. The pinch on the ear
and the touch with the heel were the secres
signs by which Jabal had been used to urge
his mare to her utmost speed. Jabal's COM
panions were amazed and indignant at his
strange conduct. 20. thou father of jack

to rob thee of thy jewel" But he siierced

LOVE AND MAY.

With buds and thorns about her brow,

The soul Of love Was in hor lava.
Her words f-3 soft upon my ear,

LOUIS NAPOLEON.

We take the following interesting ex-
tract from the Paris correspondence of
the New York Commercial:
Louis Napoleon, since he has been
in power, has exiled $4,000 men. Of
these, $4,000 have been pardoned. All
the men arrest ed since the attempt of the
Rue Lepelletier in Paris and the depart
ments, were men embraced in the So
900 pardoned. At least so we are in
formed by the government. All the men
arrested in the departments have been
brought to Paris, and our prisons are
full of political offenders. They are no
doubt to be tried here because they are all
believed to belong to the same conspiracy,
and there will thus be no repetition of
testimony, and no transporting Of wit
nesses from one department to another.
Notice has been sent to the penal colony
to pre- are for the arrival soon of con-
siderable number of political prisoners.
The number brought from Chalons, and
who were supposed 20 be the chiefs of that
miniature revolution, is fifteen. The at
tempt was quite as ridiculous as the ia
nous one on Stransbourg in 1886, or that
on Bologne in 1910. But it seems that
in France nothing is small enough to be
ridiculous.
Do you observe the catenation of po-
litical trials that we are having in France
Where else in the political world, are
there so many trials for political offense:
against the chief of the State? Not {
tribunal sits in any part of the country
that does not condemn one or more mel
for an ofense against the Emperor. Ant
yet people say that His Majesty is pop

January, there was sudden burst of Ell
thusiasm, but it was French enthusiasm

subsidiaries of tiae government, and fror
those who do not want their commerce

OVER THE RIVER.

Over the river they beckon to me
Loved ones who've crossed to the further side;
The CLEAN Of their SNOWY robes l see,
hut their voices are lost by the dashing tide.
There's one with ringIets Of sunny gold,
And eyes the reflection OF heavens own blue;
lie crossed in the twilight, gray and cold
And the pale mist hid him from mortal view.
We saw not the angels that met him there,
The gate Of the city we could not see;
Over the rivey, over the river
My brother stands waiting to welcome me!
Over the river the boatman pale
Carried another, the household pet;
Her brown curls waved IN the gentle gale
Darling Minnie! l see her yet!
She crossed on her bosom her dimp led hands,
And fearles,ly entered the phantom bark;
We watched it glide from the silver sands,
And all our sunshine grew strangely dark.
We Know she is safe on the other further side,
Where AL the ransomed and angels be;
Over the river the mystic river,
Ny childhoods idol is waiting for me.
For none return from those quiet shores
Who cross with the boatman cold and pale;
We hear the dip Of the golden oars,
And catch glimpse OF the snowy sail,
And 10! they've passed from our yearning hearts
They cross the stream and are gone forayei
We may rot sunder the veil apart
That hides from our vision the gates Of day.
We only know that their barks no more
May sail with us DER lifc's stormy sea;
Yet somewhere know on the unseen shore,
They watch, and beckon, and wait for me!
And sit and think, when the sunsets gold
Is flushing river and hill and shore,
l shall one day stand by the water cold,
And list for tile sound ofthe boatman's oar.
shall watch for a geam of the Tapping sail;
shall hear the boatas itgains the strand
shall pass from sight with the boatman pale,
To the better shore of the spirit land.
! shall know the loved who have gone be.ore,
And joyfully sweet will the meeting be,
When over tue river, the peaceful river,
The angel of Death shall carry me.

NATIVE PRINCEs.-There still exists
in India at least 220 sovereign princes,
rajahs, or chieftains, of different ranks
and power, from the Nizam, who is the
monarch of great kingdom, with a dis
tifcI army OF $4,000 men, down to the
petty Mahratta and Rajpoot chiefs. These
princes rule and govern upwards of 5O0,-
600 square miles ofterritory; they have
at least 100000 of subjects. their in
dependent revenues are extremely great,
and they have under their direct orders
military bodies, wholly unconnected with
the company, which amount to $4,000
armed men. It is true, says Mr.. Thorn
ton, from whose papers we borrow these
details, that considerable portions of these
troops of Native States are better fitted
for police purposes than for war that NJ
regular system of payment obtains among
them; and that they are for the mos
part badly organized and deficient. But
on the other hand, the list is byno mean
, complete. 1t comprises Rajahs, who ma,
be said to have political status, but mos
. of these may have in turn petty Deepen
:. dent feudatories, all having armed follow
ers, which swell the native forces of In
> dia to a prodigious amount.-Edinburg
