A Romance of the EIarem.

A ConstantinOple letter says: "Rare as are
conversions from Mussulnanism to Christian
lty, or from the latter to ISlamiSm, fewer still
are the instances in which the proselytes to
either faith are women. One of these very ex-
ceptonal cases has, however, just occurred, in
which the neophyte Is young Belgian girl
named Cordcher-the niece of the prOprietress
OF well known English shop in Pera-whO,
despite all the popular errors as to the status
OF women in the Prophet paradise, has risked
every thing and gone boldly oyer to the faith
OF Mecca for love of a seductive young Bey.
FOR some months past she has been in the
habit OF going frequently to harems in STAN
boul to take millinery orders, and, in the course
OF these visits, appears to have made the ac-
9ualntancc of the young Etfendi in question.
The acquaintanceship was entirely unknown to
her aunt who, on her sudden disappearance,
on Sunday week, remained for several hours in
anxious Ignorance of her whereabouts. Late
III the evening, however, note from the fair
runaway put an end to her relatives suspense
6y announcing the step she had taken, and
hrmly stating her determination to embrace
her lover 5 faith in spite of every opposition.
A personal interview, on the following day, at
the Turkish house near the Atbazar where She
had taken sanctuary, failed to shake this reso-
luton; and, accordingly, on Tuesday, she went
before the cadi and made the first of the ne
ceSsary declarations which prccede formal ad-
mission into the pale Of Islam The Belgian
Legation then interfered and later in the week
the young convert-who is about nineteen
years of age and presents the buxom personal
attractions which are dear to the eyes of East
ern connoisseurs-wa brought before the Min
lister of Foreign Affairs, in company with her
national dragoman Here, again, she declared
her resOlute purpose to adjure Christianity, in
spite OF all that either Ali Pacha or the drago-
man could do to urge reflection before finally
committing herself to so grave step. In
view Of this obstinacy the Belgian authorities
now deny her right to make the change on
the ground of non-age and as the Porte tenn
porarlly accedes to the objection her final re-
ception into Mussumanism is suspended until
the receipt from Brussuls of specific proof of
her age; The affair has been the nine days
talk of Pera. "

POET r Y
my PHILOSOPHY.
BY MRS. ANNA BACHE,

" n merry heart doth good like medicine" "
When | was young, when was young,
Even clOudcd skies seemed bright;
In gleesome tolls the day went by,
In tranquil sleep, the night.
All sights were fair, all sounds were sweet,
The very bells that rung
Seemed claiming tunes joy for mo
When l. when | was young.
When / was young, the tales of Hope,
With quick belief were met;
[ never dreamed that love could change,
Or Pleasure cause regret
l did not know that poison tipt
Fair Flattery's hOnied tongue;
Or Interest e'er wore Friendship garb,
When I, when l was young.
When | was young, my fate looked fair,
My eyes and hopes looked bright;
And on the upward path of life,
My heart and steps were light.
Now, many winters on my limbs
Their heavy chains have hung,
But my heart still beats as brave a march
As it did when was young!
If thorns I've felt, I've plucked some flowers
AS through the world I've trod;
And if / m forced to doubt mankind,
learned to trust in God
| still can stretch friendly hand
Still speak with friendly tongue,
And hope to die with heart as warm
As it was when | was young.

How PAT SAVED HIS QUARTER.-A physl-
clan, whose sign once hung out on Essex street,
tells the following good story:
He was sitting one day in his Office, when
there came in an Irishman, who, after making
his bow, which an lrishman always has the pO-
hteness to do, addressed him thus
Can ye pull tooth for me, doctor? Sure
its the devils own brother We got in my head
that's been keeping me awake entirely these
three nights.
"Yes, | think can take it out for you, re-
piled the doctor, sit down and let me look at
it" The tooth proved to he a large double
one, badly intamed around it, and very sore.
mence operations, Pat showed evident signs OF
nervousness.
'Och! sure, yen be murtherin me, quite, -
said he.
''To be sure | shall hurt you, said the doc
tor in jocular way, ''if | don't won charge
you anything for pulling it.
Pat said not another word, and the doctor
went to work The tooth was firmly knit to a
frmer jaw and stuck like Democrat to the
constitution, but our persevering doctor tug
ged and pulled, fairly lifting his patient in the
struggle, who bore it all the way through like
a martyr, ''making no sign" At last the of
Tending molar was out, and triumphanty laid
on the table.
There" said the doctor, "didnt hurt you
"Not a Jh, SIR" said Pat, "and sure you
are not the man to be going back from your
own word. "
Query-Which got the worst Of it, Pat or
the doctor?

= While Joseph was living as philosopher on
the banks of the Delaware thinking of moth
ing but of doing good to those around him, he
received a proposal which surprised and touch
ed him. A deputation Of Mexicans came to
him to place at his disposal the Crown of Mex

take single step for third Nothing can be
more tattering to me than to see men who
when was in Madrid, refused to recognize
my authority, come now in my exile to ask me
to put myself at their head. But do not be-
lleyc that the throne you wish to raise up can
make you happy; and every day | spend on
the hospitable shores Of the United States
proves to me more and more the excellence of
republican institutions for America. Preserve
