before him for the moment. Ono in :
stance, at least, he showed Of consummats
foresight and genius.
We have seen from bis dress, and we
sec also from bis language, that he was
not without the wretched affectation which
dis6gured the demeanor of the later En-
perors. Against one great old Roman
vico, that ofvoraoious gluttony, he strug-
gled, but struggled in vain. The Chris
tian accounts all speak of his confluence.
Julian alone insinuatos the contrary. L.
was only as despotic power and Eastern
manners made iuroads into the original
self-control of his character, that he was
betrayed into that disregard of human life
in his nearest and dearest relationships,
which, from tho same causes, darkened
the declining years of the Grecian Alex
ander and the English Henry.

by the sturdy health and vigor of bis

complexion and somewhat bloated appear.
ance gave countenance to the belief that
he had been affected with leprosy. His
eye was remarkable for brightness, al.
most glare, which reminded his cour-
tiers of that of lion. He had con-
temptuous habit of throwing back his
head which, BY bringing out the full pro,
portions of his thick neck, procured for
him the nickname of Trachala.
His voice was remarkable for its gentle
ness aud softness. In dress and outward
demeanor the military commander was
almost lost in the vanity and affeotation OF
Oriental splendor The spear Of the sol
der was almost always in his hand, and on
head be almost always wore small he'll

MEMENT0 MORT.
All streaked with shining threads of gray,
hold within my hands, to day,
A little lock of hair;
Of one who, while we sadly weep,
Is sleeping his long dreamless sleep
Beyond he reach of care.
II cannot he that he is dead
That rests within its narrow bed
The head from whence this came,
That be is lying in the ground,
Aud that there is on earth no sound
More empty than his name2
IT'S bitter to believe it so,
1t ssems so short time ago
That he was with US here
We did not think that God would send
So soon Il summons to the friend
Who was to us so dear.
Forgotten he will never be,
His voice we hear-his form We see
In each familiar scene
Aud in the futures coming years
VIII fall a shower of friendly tears
To keep his mem'ry green.
And holding in my hands to-day,
This lock of hair all streaked with gray
OF him who is Mt rest;
Through sohs and tears truly pray,
That tod will at the last great day
Raise him among the blest.

US and CHASTITY appearance. They bowed
lightly in acknowledgement Of the intro
iuction, but did not speak. They were
'ery young, the bride being not more
han fourteen, and the bridegroom about
eventeen but it is usual in those eli
mates to marry at an early period. 10

lies marry at fourteen consequently they
looked old when little over twenty years
,fagc.
But to return to my story. inquired
If my host why the very unhappy looking
bair did not join in the festivities given in
lonor of themselves. He replied that it
vas contrary to their custom that they
had to sit there for three days and nights
nd, moreover, that they were not allow
I'd to speak to each other that after they
had gone through that ordeal, and not un-
I'll then, they were considered married.
No wonder they looked wearied and dole
full
We shortly afterwards returned to the
festive hall, where l found the European
portion of the company were eudeavoring
to get up some dances-not very seemly
mode OF exhibiting superior civilization
Some had no little difficulty at first in Sc.
curing partners--for the fair, OF / should
say the dark beauties, were either very
shy, or assumed stiff, diguifsd aud rath-
er stand-otbsh demeanor when requested
the pleasure of dancing with them, being
naturally unwilling to dance with stran-
gers. At last, partners being secured, to
the scraping of violin, which sounded
vilIainously out of tune, they commenced
their performances, greatly to the amuse-
ment of the beholders. They had not
danced long, however, before it appeared
that the flooring (whatever it was made
of was giving way under their feet, and
before they could make good their retreat
it broke through, and but for the mating
which was spread over it, they would
have been precipitated into the mud, and
have disturbed the ducks and fowls from
their midnight slumbers, the under part
of Malay houses always furnishing an
abode for domestic feathered tribe. The
plunge and mud bath were averted by the
company hastily removing to the other
end Of the room.
AS the festivities proceeded, the fine
night had changed to wet morning, and
the rain was pouring down in torrents
As no carriages Of any sort could be pro-
cured at such distance from the town,
this was rather an awkward predicament
for those who had long distance to walk,
more especially for the female portion of
the company, who, in their light and airy
garments, were far from being able to re.
sist the enoroachments of the rain. They
did not seem to mind it, however; for |
could hear peals Of merry laughter min
Cling OIL the silent air as the several par.
ties dispersed in different directions.

Our New PREsIDENT.-We have had
a President Taylor, and now we have a
tailor President. Little did the present
incumbent think, when following the
peaceful profession of his youth, that his
goose would one day hang so high, and
that he, who once aided in dressing up
his southern patrons, would one day be
called to assist in dressing down the same
individuals, and in giving particular fits
to so many rebellious customers. The
war has come to its close (clothes) The
''re-possession" Of the southern forts has
left enough dead men il the breaches

Presidents previous life has been but
sew, sew but if he pants for fame. he is
vested with sufficient authority to clothe
the naked and bleeding South with the
garment of mercy, SO that our peace may
not prove to be patched-up one, but a
blessing to all parties. Although not Of
a character SO benign as his predecessor,
may conduct bis administration with
such vigor as to make it appear that there
