A ROMANCE in dboouin life.
The following little episode occurs in the elegant
ly written travels of Lamartine In the Holy Land :
“ We one day met a Bedouin, mounted on a fine
black diuinedury ; the slacks'saluted him with an
sir of concern, and inquired what lud been the is
sue of his unfortunate advcntuie of the preceding
year.. I asked lii« history, and found the recital
sofficiumly interesting to give it s place in my jour
nal.
Alulan (litis was (ho name of the' Bedouin,) while
hunting the gazelle, arrived at a spot >vhcro broken
lances, bloody sabres, and Unburied corpses, indica
ted u recent bailie.-’A plaintive sonml, which.scarce
ly reached his cor, attracted Jihn io a pilo of dead
bodies, in (tie midst of which s young- Arab still
breathed. Alihan hastened to hts assislunce, placed
him upon his dromedary, led him to his tent, and by
Iris paternal cares restored him to life. After four
months 1 convalescence, Faress (the .’wounded man)
begun to talk of his departure} but Alonian said to
him;
. “If we must absolutely separate, 1 will conduct
you to your tribe, and (hciOMuko leave of you with
regret t but jf you wilf remain with mo, you shall he
my. brother, my mother shall be your mother, and
my wife your staler; consider my proposal, and give
it a, deliberate answer.** .•
. benefactor,'* replied £ace<F,“wj|£rolhaft-
Ifina.sUbh'refatidhs as you otter mo 7 But for you
t sliotfldj now bo living; my flesh iv6nld*have
been devoured by birds of prey, and my bones by
the boasts ul the dcseit; since you arc- willing to
keep me, I will livo with you and serve you till (ho
end of r nf lire.'.' . ‘. .
A motive less pure than he had dored lo avow had
prompted Forets’ decision J love fur llufzu, the wile
tff A'UUA,' who had been his nurse, was beginning to
agitato his bosom? and was returned, Aloian, who,
entertained no suspicion, one day charged Farqsslo
escort his mother, his wife, and two cliifdrcn, in a
now'cncampmcnl, white ho went hunting. Furcss
could not resist this fatal .opportunity ; he loaded a
oiunsl with the tent, placed tho mother, end two
children upon it, and sent (hem forward saying (hat
he would follow with lUfsa on horseback. But (he
old wpmap looked buck In vain ; llulsit did pot api
poor J fturcts hud carried hey away oponVfl extreme*
ly swift more, to bis tribe. In.the evening Aloian
arrived, fatigued with (ho chose, and searched in vain
for his tent nmong those of his tribe. The old moth,
qr hud been unable ,10, pilch it without assistance,
ana he round her sealed Upon the ground with the
two children.
“ Whejo is t lf.ifep r said hy •
,**lliwo tielthcf seen Haft-i nor Fares*,'* replied
alio: •• t have been expecting, them since the oror*
ning.*' ;
Then, fur the Oral lime, ho snspcdled Die truth;
nod having assisted his mother to flx tho tent, he
mounted his black dromedary and rude (wo days, III!
dm vaipe up to the tribe of C’areas. At (ho entrance,
of (ho camp he stopped to speak to un old woman,
who was alone. • *
>“\Vhy do you not go lathe a|icik<7" said she;
“ (here is a fra ft fo (ho tribe In d.iy ; Fates* Ebn
Mcliidi, who had been wounded on llm Held of battle
and toll fur dead, is returned, bringing with him n
beautiful woman; this evening their wedding is to
bo celebrated.* 1
Aloian dissembled, and waited for the night; then,
while (he euinp slept, lie introduced himself into the
tent of Faros*, and separated his head from his body
by a stroke of his siibro, and having carried the
corpse out of the encampment, returned upon his
steps, found his wife asleep, and woke her, saying
u It is Aloian who tails thee.”
She rose in terror and said,
“Save-thyself, imprudent man, Forces and his
brothers will kill thee ?"
“ Traitress,” replied hr, “ what have I done to bo
thus (routed 7 Ilavo I over contradicted or reproach
ed thee 7 Hast thou forgotten all the cures I have
luvikhi’d upon thee 7 (Just thou forgotten thy chib
dren 7 Come, rise, call upon God, and follow me: uo
cursed bo the devil who has templed you to commit
this folly I” ' , .
But Hafsa, fur from being moved by tliia mildness
of Ajoian,rxol'iimed,
“Go licnool or I shall giro the alarm, and coll
Farces to kill thee.’* 1 .
Seeing that there'was nollilng to be goined by re.
monstrance, bo seised her, slopped her'mouth, and
in spite of her resistance placed her'on a dromedary,
which gcver.pubsod till they wore out of hearing if
the camp. Then placing her behind him, he more
leisurely continued Ida route.
At daybreak the corpse of Forets and (ho disap
pearance of Ids wife aet the whole oomp in a tumult.
Tho father and brothers of Faress followed and over
took Ah>i»n, who defended himself with horolo cou
rage. Huffii, breaking off her bonds, joined tho as*
saihints, and threw stones at liltn, one of which
■truck him on the hesd'and made him slsggor. Al
dan, however, though covered with 1 wounds, con
quered his adversaries. n
Ho killed the lw,o brolho;r,-and disarmed the fath
er, say log it would be disgraceful to kill an oid oian;
he restored him Ids mare, and advised him to return
hoii)e; (hen seising his wife anew, he pursued his
route, and reached his tribe without having exchang
ed a word with her. I|e Immediately assembled all
her relations, and placing Hafsa in the midst ofthem,
•aid (o her, . ,
Relate, thyself, all that has passed; I refer my
cause to the judgment of thy father and brother.*'—
Hafsa told the Ule truly, end her. father, full of
Indignation, raised bis sabre and laid her dead at his

Liverpool, Au#. 10,1850,
I have just heard the identical and; far Tamed
Jenny Lino! Ah hour ago her volde filled the
largest hall 1 ever saw—the Philharmonic*—con
taining betw'efth 4,000 and 0,000 people. So
great has been the excitement here ior these ten
days that every thing for sale has Jenny to it.-
Jenny la everything—the stores, the sale-rooms
and from the splendid halls to the cellar—all, nil
things are baptized with the all-potent name of
.the Swedish young squaw 1
Last week it was said that all the scqls had
been engaged, and that even the standing stalls
were selling at a premium. Not thinking I
should bo here 8» long, ‘l had not taken the pre

finding I had to he here on the same evening she
sang, yet otherwise engaged. I had to put myself
against her. singing .with a lecture this evening,
I had a full house find immediately cut off my ex

to try to get in! O, presumption; on what will
I depend to gel In 1 was a query which hud lobs
1 solved first. The people who crowded around
me seemed to say that 1 could not, for they had
heard that the house was all in suffocation. Step

to conclude in what way I had to gel (in; ’> I had
previously during the day sent a note saying that
the Indian Chief would about 9 o’clock be at the
door, and desired a seal if others had none, and
the hour 1 hqd already-arrived. We drove up.
The house was besieged* with people, A sea of
heads and shoulders! *• Who Is there 1" “The
Indian Chief desires to get admittance," was the
word given by Anon. “ Come in!" says the
manat the gat<\ to,.my aslQnUhmeqt—and as I
was stepping ouf, (wo of my best friends in this
city were by the door, who immediately took
me by the hand and led me by Ur® seats in the

Soon the company of the spciety began to nr

4 JIM GIRTH’S BEEF STORY.
-On U P the Tennessee river Jim end bis crew •
&° l mou L They could nol (Link It fair play
(a meal in.u cane country, where there
woro,&jlrMttany fit battle;. Sons usual they selected the ,
best anduuttcßl beef could find. They obtained \
one lliUKwould wclgh.oboul seven hundred pounds,
which .tvjffs neatly dressed nnd taken on board.
About three hours aAorwnfds fourteen men como
down Ip thc bo.il with|r»lles, charging Jim with l(a*
ving *l6lOO a beef.- -Jim did nol show fight,. The
crew pold'ho atlcnlionlto '\yjiat was going on—some
were silting on (he filming boards, with their feel

on blankets—every oib seemed dull and stupefied.
Jim was.seated on lhabow of the boat, hisJioad rest
ing on his hand, whcplngain assailed.
“ 1 any, your men hive been stealing the best beef
in al! these parts,?* • -!]. ;
There must boji|mo mistake?* said Jim very
quietly. - .r ;| '
.•* Yvs, yes, wo know there nro strangers here, on
this very bout—they l'mvo the beef on board, and wo
will have it oft'." :• •
f “ The bout is open,%o look Tor yourselves, gentle*

So at it they went; first having placed three men

was preserved wished the genllcinen.to
“ho perfectly . -
iTboJud crew were skinning the
one h man watching them
from took no notice ol it, but
when they boot they told Jan they were
caught. He scraientil his head a while, and (lien ' 1
prepared fur just subh'o vinit ns ho received,
| Ho pluceiK llio four quarters of the beef on the
deck of the boat; and (jpread the hide over them—on
this ho spread all the' blankuix, nnd four men lay down
on’these blankets. Jim, ns before stated, was.on the
bow of the boat, continually wishing M lho gentlemen
to bo satisfied, but I [ley would find a mistake.sor
tin, 11 . j!
As the bcef-hunlcre proceeded with their search,
Jim continued to urge,upon them the importance of
a strict search: .. , ij}
. u Look- about, and <he satisfied, gentlemen—
look where you pleas& but there is ohc)ihi,iig 1 must
nsh of you, nol to disturb thorn there stuk men. Wo
hurled two jcsicrda'wwilli (he small pox, nnd them
(hero four mcn aro aery sick—very sick, indeed,
gentlemen;, and 1 irmql beg of you nut-to disturb
them. It is always Uo Worst tiling you out do .to
disturb a sick mail, especially if ho bo near his last
—it kind o' niikts ih&bjuud fly to (ho head to be
disturbed,'* like.
But long before Jiitvlmd dosed hie speech ho had
no listeners. If cvc(£th'cru were pale laces, fallen
jaws, nnd ghastly loytopacrfong n set of men, it was
about that time and pi^oe,I’’ 1 ’’ They moved off without
speaking a word ; audillius Jim lust his visitors, and
kept the beef -ft
miseries'bf a New Coot.
No lover of indonf|ra(jhco venture* voluntarily ,-on

Statistics of Sfarrlagc*
• ! From tho Register-General's Quarterly fOlbi'tf,'
• we are enable*! approximately to judge how, many
old: men upon the average make fflola of them*
selves; and how many', old wnroeh make fools'6f
young men; We.also i ascertain what is the age
within .which a lady' may contemplate marriage
ns a possibility, and what is the .more-limited pd*
riod within which It Ip u highly’probable,” In
the first piode, however, we must beg leave to go
back for an instant to the table of births, in ordef
to remark that there is no foundation for the nbt
uncommon idea that more females than males are
born in (his country ; it appears that, on the con
trary, the males. born;in thejiyear 1&48 exceeded
tho females by 13,614. This. circUmstahee:ia
valuable, antagonistic to the fact that the occujft-.
lions of men and (he increased difficulty of main
taining a family* defer or preclude, *an entrance
Into the responsibilities; and are led to hope that
wo shall run on without having any recobrAe (o
polygamy, and without expatriating many thou
sands of. opr‘daughters. sisters, and our rnalderf
aunts, now invited by Mr. Sidney'Herbert tb
swell his Australian cargo. The figures to which
■ vuehayo alluded inform us that a lady’s chance
of getting married Is at Its ftwxxmum between the
age« of twenty and' twenty-five* Before twenty
a.lody has but one-fifth, and from twenty-five id
thirty but, one-third of that maximum chance.
After 30 her 6han.ee, ns may be gradu
ally dwindles away to zero, and hence, we con-'
elude, the great length of time which some ladles
lake in arriving, at - that age. Men, as is'well .
known, marry later than women,‘yet we find ihtfl
tho grew majority of .marriages are contracted
white both parties are under twenty-five, : and sue
pect that thin circumstance is mainly due.to the
early unions among-thb laboring poor." Mer/i
however, rhthln tho power *f contracting matri
mony to a later age. than tho weaker sex ; out of
37,483 single persons who married in 1849, there
was only one spinster above sixty years of
whereas there were twelve bachelors. We da
not wish by these disclosures tp strike panic into
those expectant Tabilhas who only own to thirty
and a bit; but comparatively few gentlemen think -
of asking a jady’s age, and comparatively fetfc '
ladlea nto confiding enough to reveal it. A wid
ower, it seems, selects a more steady age than a
bachelor; on tho contrary, a widow prefers that
her second' husband should bo younger than her-'
self; of widows abord fifty, who contraCt.a »ec4
