AReaI Romance of the Harem.

A young Belgian girl named Corde-
lier, niece of the proprietress of q well
known English shop in Pera, has gone
over to the faith of Mecca for love of a
seductive young boy. For some months
past she has been in the habit of going
frequently to harems in Stamboul to
take and execute millinery orders, and
in the course of these business visits APP
pears to have made the acquaintance of
the young effendi in question:. This
was, we believe, entirely unknown to
her aunt, who, on her sudden disap-
pearance on Sunday week, remained for
several hours in anxious ignorance OF
her whereabouts. ais, ~. -
Late in the evening, however, q note
from the fair runaway put an end to
her relatives suspense, by announcing
the step she had taken, and firmly sta.
ting her determination to embrace her
lovers faith in spite of every opposition.
A personal interview on the following
day at the Turkish house near the Al
bazaar, where she had taken sanctuary,
failed to shake this resolutions; and ac-
cordingly, on Tuesday, she went before
the cad, and made the first of the ne
cessary declarations which precede form
al admission into the pale of Islam.
The Belgian Legation then interfered,
and later in the week the young con-
vert-who is about nineteen years OF
age, and possesses the buxom personal
attractions which are dear to the eyes OF
eastern connoisseurs-was brought be-
fore the minister of foreign affairs, in
company with the national dragoman.
Here, again, she declared her reso-
lutte purpose to adjure Christianity, in
spite of all that either Alali or Pashaler,
the dragoman, could do to urge refec-
ton before finally committing herself to
so grave a step. In view of this obsti-
macy, the Belgian authorities now deny
her right to make the change, on the
ground of homage; and the Pope tenn
porarily acceding to the objection, her
final reception into Mussulmanism is
suspended, until the receipt from Burs-
sells ofspecifc proof of her age.-Le-

in the arena of intellectual combat, /
must confess / was hardly prepared to
find, what I had supposed to be the
sluggish and inactive forces of the Ger
man mind SO vigorous, active and
ready in advancing and maintaining
peculiar views. = 49, -
The ladies of Germany whom one
meets in the better ranks of society, can
hardly be called ''strong minded" In
American sense, but they are vastly bet
ter educated, more extensively and
thoroughly read in every department of
knowledge, than one generally meets In
American society.
AS the men who meet at Miss Lewald's
Leyees are professors of the University,
distinguished writer's of the day, the
most noted artists and the leading mem
bers of the Prussian Parliament, it will
be readily understood that the CONVEX
sation, when such people come to geth-
er, and under the inspiration of Miss
Lewaid's genius, is something more
than commonplace vaporings. x Miss
Lewald is about fifty years of age, but
still strictly beautiful Her manners
are gracious but dignifed, and her con-
versatioh, which is a constant flow of
\ the richest and purest German, is pecu-
I liarfy entertaining. She writes con-
! stantly when not IN society, and in re-
ply to question of mine, she said wri-
ting was the only repose she had. Her
mind she said, was constantly involv-
ing the incidents and situations, and
creating the characters of romance,
and unless she kept her pen in hand and
threw off these creations, they became a
burden to her.
The character of her writings is genial
and entertaining rather than philo-
sophie, and she lives, as it were, In a
world of heT own creation, out of which
her bright and cheerful nature reflects
Itself upon all who come within her in
lhuence. 1t has been one of the great
est pleasures of my winter in Berlin to
meet this gifted lady.
] have been surprised many times to
find how much more the educated
classes of Europe know about America
than Americans know about European
countries. General and comprehensive
knowledge may be said to be the rule
with educated people here, making
them Cosmopolites in the truest sense
of the word, while for special knowl-
edge on particular sciences or subjects,
/ must say, real German school teach.

We find the following North German
legend In s"Thorpe's Yule-tide Stories, -
one of Bohn's Anticipated Stories. It is
too beautiful to remain in the sole keep
ing of antiquaries:
ssThere was once mother and child,
and the mother loved this her only child
with her whole heart, and thought she
could not live without it; but the Al
mighty sent great sickness among
children. which seized this little one,
who lay on its sick bed even to death.
Three days and three nights the mother
watched and wept, and prayed by the
side of her darling child, hut it died. =
The mother, now left alone IN the wide
world, gave way to the most violent and
unspeakable grief; she ate nothing and
drsnk nothing, and wept, three long
days and three long nights without ceas-
ing, calling constantly upon her child.
The third night, as she thus sat over
come with suffering, in the place where
her child had died, her eyes bathed In
tears, and faint from grief, the door
softly opened, and the mother started,
for before her stood her departed child.
1t had becomea heavenly angel, and
smiled sweetly as innocence, and was
beautiful like the blessed. It had in its
hand a small cup that was almost rum
ming over, so full it was. And the child
spoke: "Ol dearest mother, weep no
more for me the angel of mourning has
collected in this little cup the tears
which you have shed for me. If for
me you shed but one tear more, it will
overflow, and I shall have no more rest
in the grave and no JOY in Heaven
Therefore, o. dearest motherl weep no
more for your child; for it is we'll and
happy, and angels are its companions y
1t then vanished. The mother, shed NO
more tears that she might not disturb
her child's Joy in Heaven. ~ = rrvne
