Life in CoLSJantinople.

ITnrd & Houghton, of New York, have
furnished the press with advance sheets
of Tie Turk AID tie Greek, by Mr.. Ben
iamin. 1t is travellers book upon 4
somewhat hackneyed subject but the
author has contrived to find a great deal
which is both fresh and entertaining
We subioin few extracts in relation TO
Constantinople:
IMPROVEMENTS IN CONsTAMTINOPLE.
Ave the world does move. There are
bootblacks now in the streets of the capl-
tai of the Grand Turk, which is one OF
the most reasonable innovations ever In
troduced there from the West, as this
CITY is no less famous for its mud than
for its fires or its external splendor. But
this is not all within few years every
street and house in Constantlnople ana
its suburbs has been named and NUMBER
ed, and the European quarters, cal!e'l
! Pera and Galata, are now lighted with
oas. It follows from this that the main
streets are now used for promenades to
late bour and localities which in former
times it was imprudent to traverse after
! dark without q revolver, are now COM
Daratively safe. Signs of change that
are still more wonderful are observable,
here and there, making ripple on the
stagnant watsrs of national prejudice, SUI
pcrstition and sloth. The wives of some
of the Pashas have adopted the European
dress, wearing the native costume only
when they emerge into the street !; and
whereas it has formerly been considered
nen-essential for woman even to read
there are now q number of schools II
Constantinople established for Turkish
girls, in some. of which French and Other
foreign languages. are taught, after
fashion.

I Wonder Why.

| wonder why when wild winds cry,
And rain drips from the caves,
And before the rising tempest fly
The last few fiuttering leaves;
There bursts tune of merry june
Upon my inner ear,
Warm odor pass through the rich deep grasi
And the blackbirtls whistle clear!
Iwonder why
wonder why when the night winds sigh,
And the city rests IN shade,
And its living souls in slumber lie,
And the glare and tumult fade;
Far from the town on the clovered down,
With short, fine grass to tread
Mid gorse and gray stone wonder alone,
And larks carol overhead
l wonder why!
Do wonder why when you and
Are parted by many smile,
And between US tireless streams go by,
Woods whisper and pastures smile;
In whatever way, by night or day,
You come to eye Or ear,
You are no surprise TO my glaGdened eyes,
And the wonder of your song sing clear
Do | wonder why

Emerson On THE baby"

One o. the sweetest and prettiest of
Emerson's latest IS the following:
"Who knows not the beautiful group
of babe and mother, sacred in nature,
sacred also in the religious associations
of half the globe? Welcome to the pa
rents is the puny little stFuggler, strong
in the weakness, his little arms more
irresistible than the soldiers his lids
touched with persuasion which Chatham
and Pericles in manhood had not. The
little despot asks so little that all nature
and reason are on his side. His igno-
rance is more charming than all knowl-
edge. and his little sins more bewitch-
ing than all virtue.
All day, between his three or four sleeps
he coos like pigeon, sputters and
spurns, and puts on faces of Importance;
and when he fasts, the little Pharisee
fails not to sound his trumpet before him
Out of blocks, thread-spools, cards and
checkers, he will build bis pyramid with
the gravity of Palladio. With an ac-
acoustic apparatus of whistle and rattle he
explores the laws of sound. But chiefly,
like his senior countrymen, AID young
American studies new and speedier
modes of transportation. Mistrusting
the cunning OF his small legs, he wishes
to ride on the shoulders and neck Of all
flesh. The small enchanter nothing can
withstand-no seniority ofage, no gravity
of character, uncles, aunts, cousins, grand
sires, grandmas- fall an easy pIey; !;
he conforms to nobody, all conform to
him, all caper and make mouths, sand
babble and chirrep to him. On the
strongest shoulders he rides, and pulls the
hair of laureled heads"

than the motley crowds that whirl care
lessly through the singular streets of
this Vanity Fair, like the ever moving
procession that Vathek saw in the Halls

1t is generally supposed that the tradi-
tional jealousy that watches over the life
of the Turkish female, places it out of her
power to behave indiscrectly. The scclu-
sion of the barem, the latticed windows,
the gauze wells drawn over the face when
abroad, and vengeance impending on the
discovery of coujugal impropricties, are
considered as ample safeguards to their
virtue. But this is 4 mistake. They are
allowed to frequent the places of pub
he resorts with freedom, so long as they
are veiled, and thus disguised it is diff
cult to recognize them and no man can
lift the veil of q women in the street with
out risking his life. During the Crimean
war drunken French soldier stepped

that thus disguised women may 60 where
they please during the day time without
the knowledge of their husbands, and
they are to be seen everywhere, groups

baZaars, eating mahalabee under the trees
of the Sweet Water, or gliding up the
Bosphorous in gilt caiques, usually at
tended by their children, and, if of high
rank, accompanied by one or more GU
nuchs and footmen. Often they may be
