SEM; THE JANISSARY.
-A TURKISH LEGEND.
BY 11. 11. BALLOU.
rAItT I.THii SLAW`, MARKET.
Stein, was a haridsenie Janissary in the handsom
esit body of troupe which ever rejoiced the eyes of an
Egatern sovereign. Wile& was.hisllescerit, history
dual not inform us; but there •was a very peculiar
mixture of the clear Gothic blue eye and clustering
auburn hair; with a certain sleepy, Turkish fire,
which, flashing out et times from the suddenly dark
ening orbs, impressed the, beholder with somewhat
of the surprise with which he Would have seen the
smiling paradise of,an Italian landscape turn, in the
twinkling elan eye, to the glowing but lurid pane,
ratna of a flaming Versuviee.
But it is nut our purpose to enter into a critical
dissertation upon our hero's clia'racter. Suffice it to
say, that Selim possessecra heart of true - nobleness,
whose capabilities had not, as yet, been thoroughly
improved, but which might be, end was, the recep
tacle of kiwi feelings and powerful impulses.
Brought up. in the midst of a rude and turbulent
soldiery, he know neither hither nor mother, broth
er nor sister, save those whom he found among the
wild and picturelque guards of Sultan Mahmoud.—
What - might have beep his descent, we repeat, we
know not. Perchance his infant eyes may have
been opened upon the craggy bank@ of the castle
crowned Danube, king-river of Hungarian song;—
perchance the 'Mother who bore him may hare been
a gentle maid of hapless Greece, who lived by 'Su
niurus rocky steep.' All this might have been, foe
in that reckless and most lawless army which, in
olden time, encircled the foot of the Sultan's throne,
were to be found the representatives of alMost every
known clime, who, in boyish yearir, the prizeof Mos
lem conquest over Christian twirs, grew up to curse
the land which bore them, and wield' the ruthless
yataghin as - their rushing ratikst‘wept onward in the
charge of the victorious Ali, to whom was giventho
flattering titles of "Diamond of the West," and
"Pasha of many tails."
"Allah it Allah! Geri le great! Mahon& is his
prophet' Life everlasting to Sultan Mahmeud, and
death to the Christian doge, who are as dust before
the breath of his scimetar!" Such were Jim teach
ings under which flourished Selim's childish years,
and such the spirit which the yOung soldier drew in
with his daily sustenance.
Salim grew up a brave and stalwart soldier. His
brow felt the arnoke s and flame, and sabre-stroke of
many d desperate battle-field by the borders of har
dy Hungary, or the laminas of the insatiate Ruse.—
He had fought his way from the humble rank of the
obscure private, to be second only in command a
mong the turbaned thoisands of the Sultan's choten
guartle:. - Indeed, it could not be concealed, that his
influence even rivalled that of the valiant Ali; their
general, for though the letter was a brave and expe
rienced man, yet his sway was stern, and his pun
ishments crnelly severe. Hie Busters manners ac
cord not so well'with the restless Janissaries, as did
the bewitching generosity, the. endearing epee*
and the undaunted couregp-Which graced the man
ner of young Selim.
A largo ditachment of trope of Whioir Selim had ,
been appointed commander, had just returned from
a successful inroad upon the - RUssian territory, where
their appearance and their vanishing, had been like
the swoop of the rushing- wind, whose abiding place
none can indicate.
Side • by side,-up the broad street of the "Purple
Fountain'," rode the glittering ranks of Selim's
troops, and at their head their young chief, on a no
ble coal•biack steed, which his own hand had - taken
from a brawny Cosnck, hard by the castle-gates of
Sarovitz. ..Up the broad avenue wont the tramp of
three thousand horsemen, and Selim's eye grew dark
with glowing pride, as he thought that every man
imong that gathering horde was hia is a brother,
true • unto death. Up the spicious street of the
“Rose-colored Palaces," and by the walls of the Sul
tan's palace, came the din of ringing hoofs and clash
ing sabres, and the despot of the East breathed more
quickly within the. walls of his impregnable fortress.
Selim knew it,•but though his eyes flashed with liv
ing fire, not a thought of disloyalty had ever cross-
ed his breast. • Many a beaining eve looked out up-
on him from the reraglio's„ prisoninz lattices, and
knew it; but the charms of a beautiful face
cause d iiit!a trouble in the heart of Selitn,,while hie
soul delighted in the 2ttraCtions which glittered in
the iwords:of his, trusty Li.2ieseriee. Up by the
eastern gate they pasred, and by the
,ilave markdt,
where were congregated , the captive inaidene whom
the Mosledis•had torn from their homes to be the
prey of the effeminate citizens of Constantinople.
Many a fierce iioldier, with readers -geze,, slack;
ed his dowser's rein, as rank after tank, in obedience
to the wave et Selim's acimetar, wheeled heavily .
round to the west. • Many a sorrowful captive for
got her griefs and.her feare r as,she looked with ad
miration on that proud array and, on the pliant youth
who swayed it as be would. bat Selim only smil

SATURDAY MORNING, SEPTMIiII 21, 1850.
Suddenly his restless and fiery steed swerved a
way like a, petted and headstrong youth, and Sa
lim's art and eye had full employment in restrain
ing the caprice of the powerful animal, but when he
looked up again, a vision met his eyes which, in an
instant, put far front his mind, all thought either of
Janissary Ur Cossack courser. In a corner of a slave
bazaar leaned a young girl in whom the full forms
of womanhood had already displaced the childish
beauty of lass ripened tharnis. A deeper grace
now reigned upon the rounded brow, and on the rich
transpirent check, on the darkly fringed and softly
shddowipg eyelids, and dtt the lips = parted half in
grief, half in the sudden terror whieli the suppesed
'danger of the young soidierlTl Inspired hi her. Se
tim saw all this in a moment, as he turned with • a
verted face. to watch Ihe passing crowds: - Still,
whether he,woultt or no, his gaze Would direct itself
again and. again to the corner of the bazaar, and
when those large, mournful eyes met his own, a
strange sensation would thrill through him, such as
ho had never felt on the battle-field, and a sadness
which he felt it imPosslble to control. Slowly he
paced by the side of the clanging chargers, but his
spirit was changed. The noble steed seemed to
sympathise with his master; now no more flinging
his head proudly from the bit, but moving quietly
and sobdily along, obedient to the slightest touch
of his rider.
Salim slumbered little, that night. Mistake not,
gentle reader; Selim was no sensualist. But these
sad eyes—the gushing tears of hapless beauty--4ol
lowed Min through many a troubled dream, calling
on him for. sympathy and relief. They told a tale,.
whose accents, though unuttered, thrilled through
every fibre, and fastened on the'daapeat emotions of
the heart.
Morning came and found Sa lim already at thoba
zaar. The slave-merchant marked, with cunning
eye, the ill-disguised eagerness of the '.l . anissary
captain, and counted on a lucky customer.
~W here is the girl whom I saw yesterday - in the
corner of the bazaar," inquired Salim.,
"Whom mania thou . ?" replied the merchant.—
“But follow me; 'thou shalt see for thyself.” -
Selim did so, and his eye quickly fell on the per
son whom he sought. She wasitting by a blockof
white marble, over which ihq bent her head, which
reclined upon an arm whose showy clearness sham
ed the duller stone beneath. , Selint pointed her out
to the merchant.
- "Ah!" said the latter, "is she hot truly beautiful?
Her father was a Magyar prince, whose. castle our
troops attacked during their; march against Prince
i'vlaronoff. The Magyar defended himself bravely,
but, he was slain with nearly ;all his family. They
say. the girl herself was seen at the &inform, and
was taken up for dead when qui soldiers entered the
castle. ? '
The young Hungarian heard the sound of voices,
and, looking up, met the gaze of Selim. The lan
guid paleness of her countenance was Instantly suf.
fused like a blushing rose. Selitu lowered Mews.
It was We timidity of a generous and inatilk heart.
"Come hither," said lie to the merchant, moving
onward a few steps; "speak more carefully so that
she may not hear us. What is her pricer'
The merchant looked sharply at Seliw's counte
nance.
"Three thousand piastres."
Selim'started
"A most unheard of price," said he, looking an
grily on the merchant. "But it is thine, if it beg
gar me:"
"Hold!" cried the merchant. "Now Allah be
praised! who woind have thought-thee to have been
so impatient a youth? I have oot said that I would
sell her at all."
4, 1`uol!" exclaimed the enraged Solim, seizing the
merchant by the throat. oDost thou know who I
am, and trifloat with mo thus,"
"I am an honest roan," gasped the affrighted mer
chant, extricating himself from theigrasp of the im
petti,ons youth. "I only meant to say that thou wert
hasty. Host thou not know that no slaves can be
eo!d till a day after our master, the Sultan, is ap
prized of their arrival! This mt iden arrived but
yesterday morn, and there now - witnts an hour to the
expiration of the day. Tho vizier, whom I inform
ed, riccording to ~order, came yesterday to view the
slaves, and I have not soon him since. Doubtless
he will not return as it is now so late. When the
hour expires the - girl is thine, unless previOusly de
manded by the Sultan."
"Pardon, dear Mustapha," said the now repentant
Salim. "I thought you were only cajoling me, onl
would'not have been thus violent. You irritated
me so quickly, that I lost command of myself:"
No jewel-buyer,ever kept watch over his treas
ure so assiduously as did the young Janissary over
the treasure - of the slave Market. Hardly a person
entered the bazaar during that hour of suspense, but
Eelim's hand instinctively sought -the hilt of his
scimetar, as though 'vizier or sultan, none should
rob him of his prize. Slowly crept the shadow over
.the dial at Selim's side, till he thought that the sun
itself was delaying on its course; but at lest it
reached the-wished-for goal, and Salim sped to the
market entrance. Here he was met by Mustapha.
"I wish thee joy, my son," said ha obsequiously,
"tbe Maiden is thine."
Salim - answered riot, but throwing three purses at
the feet of the slave-merchant, hurried forivard to
I meet the fair Hungarian.
She sal with her arm upon the marble !Jab, al
'nest as ho had last beheld her;.but her-head was
now erect, and at the first atop of &limp her eyes
turned instantly. upon hik A slight blush over
spread her race, but it passed away and was suc
ceeded by a haughty expressiveness, as though she
had read. in an Instant, the import of the soldier's
visit. Selim steed abashed, like a child In thePr4B

The Hungarian looked Up hvglideirrprisei i but
quickly her neuntenancs cliarged, end the teattrfell
heavily from the long down lying aye-lashes.
"Say," continued the youth, now kneeling byher
side, "wilt. thou be free,"or wilt thou:ebonite no for

Her tears but fell the faster, and her lips 'moved
as if in faintest murmur ) but no answer came from
them.
!'Say but the word, and thoti 'hail be' restored to
thy native hills, free and unharmed. But thou wilt
leave ono behind thee who would have shed his blood
to accure thy bappiness."
A small,• white hand,, wee laid trembllog within
his own, and the fair Hungarian looked with a
touching trust, into the faco of the noble-hearted
soldier.
"I am thine," abe alid; "Oh, love me, and be kind
to tne, for thou art all that is left to me is _the wide
tvoildl" .
, Selina replied not, save that he looked a n answer,
which was better than all the words which he could
have uttered.
"Bring her yoUr 'costliest robes,.' i said he to the
slave-Merchant, "for she is worthy to be the sultan's
bride; though indeed I would nut' \have her so for all
the wealth of i Solyman.."
Two faithful Janissaries awaited their offieer at
the door, and thus guarded, Zuleika, (for such was
the maiden's name), accompomed her lover to a
more fitting abode.
They had thus protecaed for sot ho distante, When

A noisy tumult which had risen

had touched hie ear, but had failed to diatraet his
thoughts from the all-absorbing theme. At lest,
however,* the uproar arose to such a pitch, as to
awaken his attention, and going to the , door, he de
manded the cause of the, disturbance.
"Oh, honored chief," said the subordinate whom
ho addressed, "some two or :three hundred of the
soldiers hive made ripen revolt. They say that they
will servo no limier, unless their arrears are paid
immediately, and their allowance of food increased.
Our genorsl'has promised to do what they require,
saying that the salvia has alreadrerdered this to be
accomplished; bat they reply' that they have been
deceived too often, in this way, and demand instant

Belim would 'endear to quiet the disturbance by
addressing the malcOntentit, and if this would hot
suffice, the purport of the message wee, that he
should be prepared to-summon in the "golden horse

superintendence of the Governor of Constantinople.
A single expression tontrahted Selittealips, when
ho received this order. Advancing toward' the mu-
tineers, he waved his' hand, In 'signal that he was
about to speak. and was obeyed by an immediate
stillness, for Salim was ouch a favorite among' the
troops, that all wished io hear what he bad to offer.
"Comrades," said hei !'you ask for justice. You

huge cannon of the seraglio bayed forth their hoarse
notes over terror-stricken Constentinople. Against
the western gate of the palaCe buildings, called the
"Silver Gate of Entrance," poured the solid column
of the Janissaries, with Sellm at their head. The
outer walls were carried almost, In a moment, for
that avalanche of men came on with a fury which
nothing_but impossibility itself could withstand.—
Within these walls, however, was a net-work of de
fences, which was the scene of:a desperate conflict,
and here the Janissaries suffered a most discouiag
ing rebuff.
Within the palace, &different scene was enacting.
Sultan Mahmoutl stood at a window above the great
hall of audience, looking down upon the coutect-. .

emotions. Mahmond was a sovereign of violent
paisions, not wanting in personal courage and dar

But a sudden light Bashed acrbss the brow of the

When hlshrtiond once more found power of utter

But her doom was not yet to be accomplished. Even
as the tyrant spoke the massive palace walls reeled
and shook, from their lowest stone unto their loftiest
turret-top,
j inni the instrument of death dropped
from the hands of the affrighted eunuchs. Ma.
mond, throwing a glance - without, ordered them
to desist. A powder magazine in the tower of
Achmet had been exploded by a stratagem of Selim's
and through the CloWds - of smoke, the sultan saw its
ruins scattered all arOnnd. That single -look told
him that the Rower of big throne bed passed away,
end that his life was at the mercy of an, injured and
irritated soldiery. The vast mass of the Janissaries

Apples for Hunan Food.
The importance of apple's, as food, has not hither
to been sufficiently eatimitod in this country, nor

of auger, mucilage, and other nutritive matter, In
the form of food, they contain such a fine combina
tion of vegetable acids, abstractive substances, and
aromatic principles, with the nutritive matter, as td
act powerfully in the capacity of refrigerants, ton = ,
ice, and anti.eeptics; and when freely pied at th
season of ripeness, by rural labor6rs &whither', they"
prevent debility, strengthen ,digestion,eorreet the
eutrefsctive tendencies of nitrogenous food, avert
scurvy, and probably maintain and strengthen • the
powers of productive labor. “The operators of" Cor
nwall, in England, considev ripe apples nearly as
nourishing as bread, and more so than potatoes. In
the year 1801, a year of scarcity, apples, limed of
being converted into cider, were.aold to the poor;
anti the laborers asserted that they could stand their
work on baked apples without meat; whereas a po
tato diet required either meat or fish." The French
and Germans use apples extensively; indeed, it lir
rare that they sit down, in the rural districts, with
out thorn in some shape or other, even at the beat
tables. The laborers and mechanics depend on there.;
to a very great extent, as an article of food, and fre

with rice, red cabbage, carrots, or by themselves;
