THE GREEK. MAIDEN
At ilte commencement of the massacre I
upon the island of Scio, Ellen, a beautiful
frirl of Callemasia—in Scio—fled with her
father’s family to the mountains, where they
lay concealed beneath a rock surrounded
wjth shrubbery. They supported themselves
with crass and snails, which they' collected
by niullt.’ .After two weeks, their confine
ment a'nd spare diet began to prey upon their
health.. They at length ventured to go a
broad and procure some more substantial
nourishment. They had not proceeded far
before they were surprised, by a parly of
Turks in ambush. The father and mother
of Ellen were immediately killed_by Jicr
side. She and her sister were spared for
their beauty; but, as the hostile band was
too nunierous.-ttlUy could not agree to whose
.lot the cuptivoSfSuould fall. Her sister was
cut in picccsi-tSttcElleii herself was retained
alive by the Jlouloukbas or chieftain, who
o-avc to each of. liis men two dollars to pre
vent further,disturbance. Ellen was led by
the Houloukbatf'io a konak in the city of
Scio, where sfieAvas obliged to perform the
duties of a slave. Her rnasttr was so brutal
'that she meditated a scheme to regain her
freedom. One night she left her residence;
and fled to ‘the English consulate, the'doors
of which were ,closed. Not succeeding in
"mining-admittance,’she climbed into one of
the orange trees in the garden and remained
there till morning,.when the Bouloukbas,
her master, sumpjjjned his gang and started
inpursuitofh^^He-oamctothcEnglish

the voice of injured inflohud he listened to
lowed the Turk to drag al
cned, "Oh', God! is there no manias site
to pity us?” Those words made a
impression upon the mind and heart of an
English officer who was present, lie de
! tertoined immediately to purchase fief? ! He
proceeded to the konak of the Boulqukbas,
and offered i two thousand piastres'for the
Greek captive; but them aster declined part
ing with her for any sum whatever, and de
clared that she should always live with him.
Earnest (so the Englishman wait called) went
away deeply wounded in his feelings, and
: v,gan to 'imagine: some. method to obtain
termrnejd to matte, ope final effort to obtain
thejobject of,his wishes.: He called-Upon
Boaloukbas, and increased his offer to
five thousand piastres. The Turk, observ

prospect of a ! still greater sum, and ordered
her to present herself to the sight of her loV

Ellen replied, that sin; hoped lie would, for
mercv’s sake, spare no eflbrtto liberate her.
At the same time it was agreed between
them, that they should leave the island that
very night. Earnest promised ta send her
a man’s dress, that she might assume it, to
avoid the suspicion of the watch. The Turk,
who did not understand the import of (lie
conversation, 'Was still obstinate in’ his vein -
sal to part with,, her, and Earnest who un
derstood sufficiently well the Turkish lan
guage, promised to rome again and make'
some proposal, which, he hoped, would not
be resisted by her unfeeling owner." They
[separated, and Earnest rejoiced in the hope
of-possessing one'of the-fairest-of-the fair.—
He bribed the servant of the Bouloukbas,
and by.him forwarded to Ellen the disguise
which bad been proposed. At midnight he
appeared under her Window, and clasping
her in his arms, placed her upon the ground.

-In a few minutes suspicions were set a
float that the stranger aforesaid was a wo
man; whereupon Mrs. Dixon, in curious tre

‘You are a woman,’ saidMrs.-D.

She then related an adventure that far e

Orlando. She had been cruelly treated; her

The Genius of Liberty furnishes us pith
(lie subjoined thrilling account of this affair.
The men of the mountain—of,the plain—
the beauty of the country, anil the fathers of
the revolution, all mustered at this “roll
call” of 'NVestefn democracy.
Tnu Frocession.— At 11 o’clock on Sa
turday last all’the principal roads into our
burou'di was blocked up with the battalions
of Democracy. At 12. the Monoiigahela di
vision, upwards of one thousand strong, en
tered the town from the-west, under the di
rection of Chief Marshal Westley Frost.—
When the rear of this division had passed
the, Morgantown street, the George.creek

-This splendid procession of democrats,
presenting an aggregate.of.about thirty five
hundred and sixty fxve— marched through
town interspersed all along at convenient
intervals with the most enliVcningand cheer

banners almost innumerable floating'upon
the breeze inscribed with various and very
appropriate mottos.

what do you think of ,a National Bank, of
the inode of disposing ofpelitions.for the abo
lition of slavery in the District of Columbia,
and of a General Bankrupt lam'?
General Harrison —W hilt do I think' eh.
think! Do you want me Jmthinltj myself
to death? Here, Cuuunitk r e, \vliatilp l think
about these things? Tell ’em committee.
Thinking Committee— The General has
thought a good deal when in situations which
allowed ot that hazardous amusement; but
it is not proper for candidates in training to.
indulge in thinking, especially in thinking
aloud;.for they may think wrong and lose
votes; us it is not easy to think in a popular
manner when -people aie so apt to think in
different wavs.
General //.—No, its out ol the question.
Let mre strain his thinkers ever so much, ho
can’t think upon two horses at a time, like a
circus rider. There are 100 many thinks a
boul just now to make it possible tor me to
lie unanimous, and I thcrelurc prefer remain?
ing sort of anonymous. , '
Thinking Committer Exactly so the
Banks have suspended specie payments for
fear of being used up, and General Harrison
suspended thinking for the, same reason.
When he resumes, we’ll let you know.—
But to satisfy* von as to his opinions, we wish
you distinctly" to understand that General
Harrison having done no new thinkingtd late,
thinks just as he did bclore. ■
