A Caliph's Happy Days.

Abdalrahman established the throne Of
Cordoya, and was the father Of the Ommi.
ades Of Spain, who rcigned above two hund.
red and fifty years from the Atlantic to the
Pyrences. The third and greatest Of this
race constructed the city, palace, and gar
dens of Zebra. Twenty-Five years, and above
fifteen millions Of dollars, were employed by
the founder his liberal taste invited the
most distinguished artists, sculptors and ar.
chitccts of the age; the buildings, it is said,
were sustained or adorned by twelve hundred
columns of Spanish and African, Of Greek
and Italian marble. The hall of audience
was incrusted with gold and pearls, and a
great basin in the centre was surrounded
with the curious and costly figures of birds
and quadrupeds. In q lofty pavilion OF the
gardens. one Of these basins and fountains,
so delightful in sultry climate, was replen.
ished, not with water, but with the purest
quicksilver. A guard Of twelve thousand
horse, whose belts and scimetars were stud
ded with gold, attended Abdalrahman to the
field.
Our Imagination is dazzled by the splendid
picture, and, whatever may be the cool die
tates Of reason, there are few among us who
would obstinately refuse trial of the COM
forts and cares Of royalty. 1t may therefore
be of some use to borrow the experience OF
the same Abdalrahman, whose magnificcnce
excited the admiration and envy OF the mon
archs and princes Of his time. After the de-
cease of the Caliph, the following authentic
memorial was found in his closet

Suspiria.

Take them, o Death and bear away
Whatever thou canst call thine own
Thine image, stamped upon this clay,
Doth give thee that, but that alone
Take them, o grave ! and let them lie
Folded upon thy narrow shelves,
As garments by the soul thrown by,
And precious only to ourselves!
Take them, o great Eternity
Our little life is but gust,
That bends the branches Of thy tree,
And trails its blossoms in the dust !
