ROSA AND TUB THRUSHES.
Willi beating heart and noislcss tread,
Fred through tho window pooping,
Saw Rosa dear, with cheeks so red,
Hhr 111110 pantry swooping;
But Freddy saw another sight,
That wasn't quite so pleasant.
Her mother just to keep things right,
Was with the daughter present
Now Fred, (hough but a timid lad,
As oft revealed his blushes,
A very cunning wbiello had,
Clear as a singing thrush’s;
So in a soft and silvery tone, ■
Tho signal clear was sounded,
Which, thoogh by Rosa quickly known,
Tho mullie x quilo confounded.
And Rosa, in artless innocence,
Stopped out to fetch some water, „
And Faso, for fear of accidents,
Went with the duteous daughter;
The spring was but a rod or so,
Just down beside the mountain—
Yol quite an hour it took to go
And got back from the fountain,
Tito mother, frightened at the stay,
To seek her just was starling,
As Fred his prudence did display
By kissing Rosa and parting,
What kept you so, my darling child ?
Why dir, said blio, with blushes,
I've had a chase so long and wild
After those pretty thrushes !

TUE LADY AND THE ROBBERS.
In a charming little village, situated in a truly
romantic country, but a considerable distance from
the high road, was Baron H. accustomed lo spend
the summer. Mis mansion, built upon an emi
nonce, was perfectly adapted to his fortune. 2t
was a spacious building, very elegant within and
without, and exhibited a good stylo oi urchnec
lure, and it was about two hundred paces from the
, village.
Business obliged the Baron to take a journey of
la few days. His wife, who was but twenty ytara
ol age, very beautiful, remained at home, lie
look with him two of his servants, and the other
two were left with the baroness. No violation of
the public security had over been heard of in that
pan of the country, and as the baroness did not
belong to tho timid portion of her sox, (ho idea of
danger was far from entering her mind.
The evening after (he baron’s departure, as she
was stepping into bod, site heard an alarming noise
in an apartment near her chamber. She called
out but received no answer. The confusion and
screaming increased every moment. She was at
a loss lo conceive what was the matter, and has
tily putting on her garments, went to the door to
discover tho cause- A horrid spectacle presented
itself! Her two servants, half naked, were ex- 1 '
tended lifeless on the floor.
The room was full of strango looking men; the
of thom ? and instead of the mercy alio impforeTn
she received (he falsi stroke. No sooner did iho
door open than two barbarians, with drawnswords,
rushed towards it. What woman, or even man,
would not have been struck with the utmost terror,
and given up lifu and everything as lost 1 A loud
shriek of despair, a flight of u few paces, would
probably have been tho last resort of many. The
baroness, however, conducted herself in a different
manner.
“And you have come at last V* exclaimed she,
with a lone ol hcarMVlt joy, and advancing to
wards her assailants, whit u haste that highly as
tonished them, they lowered their uplifted wea
pons.
“Are you como ol lasi 1” repealed she. ‘‘Such
visitors as you 1 have tong wished to see."
‘■W tbhed V muttered one of the assassins.—
“What do you mean by that 1 But slay, I’ll ”
He hud already raised his cutlass, but a com
rade averted the stroke. “Stop a moment broth
er,” said be, “let us first hoar what she would
have.”
••Nothing bul w hat ia your pleasure, bravo com*
radca. You are men alter my own heart, uud
-neither you ncr 1 shall have any reason lo repeni
it, if you will baton for iwo minutes to what 1
have to say."
‘•Speak I apeak l M cried iho whole company.
‘ Uut bo quick,*' added onfc of the fiercest, “for
wo shall not make much ceremony”
“Nevertheless, 1 hope you may. You grant mo
a hearing! Know, then, that although lam iho
wife of tho richest gentleman in the country, yet
the wife of the meanest beggar cannot be more un
happy than I am. My husband is one of the most
jealous and niggardly fellows on Iho earth. I halo
, him as I halo the , and It has long been tho
fervent wish of my heart lo gel out of his clutches,
and at the same time pay off old scores. All my
servants were his spies, and that follow, whoso
business you have done so completely, was the
worst of all. 1 am scarcely twenty-one, and 1
flatter myself, far from being ugly. If any of you
choose to lake mo along with you, I*ll accompany
you lo tho woods or lo the village alo*houso. Nor
shall any of you have reason lo repent sparing my
life. You are in o well stored mansion, but it Is
impossible that you should bo acquainted with all
its secret corners. These 1 will show you, and il
1 1 do not make you richer by six thousand dollars,
i then servo me as you have my chambermaid. 11
Kobbors of this klndoro certainly villains, but,
ueverlhoiess, they are still men. Iho wholly un
expected tendency of the bareness 1 address, added
to tho moro than ordinary beauty of the female,
altogether produced a powerful effect on men whoso
hands wore yet rooking with blood. 'Uiey all
then slopped aside and consulted together In a low
tone for some minutes. Tho baroness was 101 l
qullo alone, bul she betrayed not the least wish to
escape. Sho hoard two or three thus express
themselves, “Let’s despatch her and the game
will bo up.” She, however, scarcely changed her
odor, for the opposition of the others did not cs*
capo her aouto oar. One, who was probably the
captain of the banditti, now advanced towards her.
Ho asked her twice or thrice whether ho might
roly on tho truth of What she said—whether she
actually wished to bo released from tho tyranny of
her husband and go with them, and whether she
was ready to resign herself lo one of them—him
self, for Instance—during the few peaceful days
they could enjoy. Having replied in the affirma
tive to all'these qubstlons; hairing not only suffer
ed tho warm embrace of tho robber, but returned
It (fqr what will not necessity ofccuso,) ho at
length said i , , . .
“Oomo along, then, and )oad us, around. Tho
d—l trust you ladles of rank but wbMl venture for
onco. But lot tob 101 l you beforehand, that If you
wore twice ns hahdsotob os you are, this weapon
should cloaVb f ddr bkul I tho moment wo saw tho
least disposition to cacapo. or betray ua."
“Then it will tic safe onpbgh; and If this wero
tho only condition of toy being pbl 19 death, 1
would outlive you all, and ovop tho wandering
Jew himself.” ..... ~. 1
Tho baroness smiled whenwho pronounced those |
words, and hastily caught up tho nearest loipp as

CARLISLE, PA., THURSDAY,'FEBRUARY 10, m 3.
though eho was as noxious as any of them to col
lect the plunder and be gone, conducted the whole
company through every apartment, opened every
door, every drawer and every chest; assisted in
emptying them and packing up the valuables;
looked with the utmost indifference oyer the man
gled bodies; spoke with the familiarity of an old
acquaintance to each one of the horrid troop, and
willingly aided with her delicate hands in the
most laborious occupation*
Plato, money, jewels and other valuables were
now collected together, and the captain of the ban
ditti was about giving the order for marching when
his destined bride caught him by tho arm. “Did
1 nol o lell you,” said she, “that you would not re
pent making a friend bf rno and sparing my life.
Vou may indeed have yourtilng in places you find
open; but it is a pity you cannot come at treasures
that are a little concealed. Do you suppose'thaj
among coffers so full there are no secret places!
Look here, and then you will be convinced to the
contrary
Shu pointed to a secret spring in the baron’s writ
ingdesk. They pressed upon It and out fell twelve
hundred dollars.
“ Zounds !” cried tho loader of tho robbers, “ now
I see you are on incomparable woman./Twill keep
you for (his as a duchess.” i
"And perhaps better still,” she replied, laughing,
" when 1 toll you of one thing more. I om well
aware that you must have had spies who infunned'
you of (ho absence of my tyrant; but they did not
toll you of the four hundred guilders which ho re
ceived yesterday.” * ,
*• Not a syllable. Where are Ihoy 7”
" o,'safo enough under half a dozen locks and bolls.
You would certainly not have found (hem and tho
iron chest had it nut been for mo. Como along,
comrades. We have finished above stairs, now we’ll
sea what’s to bo done under it. Como'along with
me, I say, into the cellar."
Tho robbers followed, but not without precaution.
At the entrance of the cellar, provided with a strong
trap-door, a nun was posted us scnlinol. Thu
baroness did not lake the least notice of this. Shu i
conducted the whole troop to the vault o| tho farthest
extremity of the cellar. Shu unlocked it, nnd in 1
the corner of this room stood the chest she had dcs- 1
cribed. u Here," said she, giving the captain a '
bunch of keys, *• hero, unlock U and lake what you i
can find os a wedding gif), if you con obtain the
consent of youi tomfininn. aa rr-ndlly as you Uavo <
gained mine.”
Tho robber tried one key after another, but none
would fit. 110 grow Impatient and tbo baroness
seamed still more so.
" Lend mo them,** said she, “•! shall find the way
sooner. Indeed, if wo don’t make haste tho morning
may overtake us. Ha ! the reason why neither of
us could unlock it Is because 1 have the wrong bunch
of keys. I’ll soon obtain another."
She ran up stairs and presently they hoard her
coming down, but she wont slowly os if out of breath
with the haste she had made. “ I've found (hem!"
cried she at a distance. She was within throo steps
ol the person placed at llio entrance of tho collar
when she made a spring at tho wretch, who as little
expected (ho dissolution of the world as such an
attack. A single push with her strength tumbled
him down tho stairs from top to bottom. In a
(winkling she closed the trap door, bolted it. and thus
4fJW tho whole company secured in (he cellar. This
wAstlio work of a single moment. In tho next she
(low across tho court-yard, and with a candle set (ire
to a detached pig. stye. The watchmen in the
Bi’ve'hie‘Slafm!“TnTnovO“WfTidh!i W'ftiiHMttttlll
were out of their beds, and a crowd of farmers and
their servants hastened to the mansion.
Tho baroness waited for (hem at ilia gala of the
courtyard. “ A few of you," said she, "will bo
sufficient to put out this fire or prevent it from spread-
ing. But now provide yourselves with arms, which
you will And in abundance in my husband’s armory ;
post yourselves at tho avenues of the cellar and suf
fer not ono of the murderers and robbers shut up in
it to escape."
Her directions wore obeyed, and not ono of them
escaped the punishment duo his crimes.
If Papa wot Here*
‘Ab soon as the shrieks of itio drowning passengers
were hustled, Clio voice of a lilllo boy wua heard, and
il was llion first discovered ihul a cliild, about eight
years old, was also clinging lo a ropo u short dis
tance off. The little fellow talking to himself, was
■uying,'Oh, I can’t hold on much longer. If papa
'as hero he would hold mo up!’
Wo find Iho above Incident related in connection

lision of the Atlantic with another vessel on Lake
Erie. How touching is the little follow'sconfidcnco
in immediate prospect of drowning, that if ins papa
could only bo at hand ho would hold him up.
But alss ! how many children on tho groat ocean
of lifo arc sinking daily and hourly unblessed by the
consolation that if papa was at hand ho would hold
them up. On tho contrary (ho bitterness uf tho per.
iehing stole, that their father is only cause of their
sinking. Ho is at hand only lo pull thorn down iuto
fathomless depths with himself.
So tho wretched stavu of appetite and victim of
the bowl. What is ho doing but dragging (o tho
depths of misery and shomo tho innocent ones who
call him father, and whoso very instincts prompt
them lo look to him for support und happiness. Who
can guess the black dismay and horror which an
innocent child must feel when il first comprehends
Iho truth that its own father is Its foe, and not its
friend j Us destroyer, and not its preserver.

A SKETCH OF TURKISH JUSTICE*
1 Tho Cadi goes out in tho morning without making
( known hie intended route; takes his walk With bis
i suitable attendants, and stops at the first Bazaar.—
Ho scats himself at random in ono of tbo shops, and
examines tbo weights, measures and merchandize.—
Ho lends an oar to all complaints, Interrogates any
merchant accused of infraction of law, and then,
without court or jury, and especially without -delay,
pronounces Judgment, applies the penalty, and goes
on in search of other delinquents. Ic these cases, 1
the punishment is of a different character. Not- !
withstanding tho identity of (ho criaxj, bo cannot i
treat tho offending merchant as a ccmmoa thief; ,
that would have a prejudicial effect on commerce.- 1
The penally is graduated thus: the mildest,confisca- ’
lion, tho moderate, closing tho shop, tho severest, expo* |
sure. This last is inflicted m a singular manner. Tho ;
culprit is placed with his back aguins; bis shop, and
is compelled to raise himself on his toes until tbo!
weight of his whale body rests on them ; his car is *
then nailed to tho door or shutter of his shop. This j
punishment lasts two, foa'i or six hours. It is truo,
the criminal may abridge -its duration, whenever ho ■
chaoses to let himself *£>wn , buv ti.u ,„wi
ohant is jealous pr his reputation, and nothing but
the last necessity would induce him to resemble a
thief by (ho mutilation of his car.
1 stopped in front of ono of those wretches, who
had just been nailed up. I was disposed to com
passionate his case, but Mahommcd told mo,lio was
an habitue , and fiat if I would observe his oar close
ly, 1 should it woe like a cullender. This changed
the current of my sympathies, and as ho was to re
gain some tune longer, 1 ceased to regret his suffer
ings, and rejoictd in the opportunity of making a
sketch. 1 drew forth crayons and paper, and bugged
the rest to continue their roulo with M. Mayor, J
leaving Muhomned to assist mo in any embarrass-i
merit. But Mayer would not quit me ; so wo three
remained, and the others proceeded on their way.
My picture was composed ; lire criminal nailed by
his car, was standing stiff and motionless on tho ex
trema point of his great loos; and seated near him,
on the sill ul (he dour, was tho guard, charged with i
seeing the punishment duly executed, smoking
pipe. The quantity of tobacco in tho pipe, seemed 1
to bo graduated to tie lime the punishment was to
continue. Around these two personages was a
demi-circle of idlers. Wo look our places at one
side, and 1 commenced my tusk.
AAcr a lime the culprit, finding ho hud nothing to
expect from the crowd—among whom, perhaps, lie
.-ougnibuj soma of hi a f'liaimncra—hazarded a word
to the guard.
“ Brother," said he, " one law of our holy Prophet
is, (hut men should help one another.”
The guard seemed to >lako no exception of llio
precept in tho abstract,and continued quietly to
smoko.
Brother," resumed the patient, *• did you not
hear mo 7"
Tho guard made no other reply than a largo puff
of smoko that ascended to his neighbor’s nose.
*' Brother,” still persisted the mao, one of us can
aid (ho other, and do a thing acceptable to Mohom
cd."
The puffs of smoko succeeded each other with a
regularity (hat extinguished the poor fellow's hopes.
•• Brother," cried the dependent, with a dolorous
voice, put a stone under my heels and 1 will give
you a piastre.”
No reply.
11 Two piastres."
A pause.
'• Three Diaslrcs."
SipUur piastres.
"Ten piastres," said llio guard, quietly.
The ear and tho purse of (ho man hold a parley,
which was visible in tho countenance. At length
the pain conquered, and the ton piastres rolled at the
feel of the guard, who counted them with great de
liberation, pul them in Ins purso, rested his pipe
against llio wall, and picking up a pebble about as
large as llio egg of a tom-til, placed it under tho
mo n's heels.
*• Brother,” said the culprit, “ 1 feel nothing under
tny feel."
•• A stone is (hero, however,” answered tho guard,
resuming ins scut and pipe, “ but it is true. 111 at 1
selected il in reference to your price. Give mo a
(atari (five franco' und I will place a stone under
you so appropriate lo your necessities, that you shall
sigh fur it whfin you reach paradise."
Tho result may bo anticipated—the guard had his
money, and tho merchant his stone. How tho affair
terminated I do nut know.
Womnit'i Rights aud Wrongs.
There has been so much discussion on these topics
recently, that il is worth while to examine precisely
what tiio real differences between men und women
arc. The following embrace u)I tho enactments in
which a distinction is made.
Women are not subject lo a pull lax, bat man aro
subject to a poll lax.
Woman aro exempt from military duty, but a cor*
tain class of men ore subject to a military duty.
Women are exempt from a draft in tuna of war, but
a certain class of men are subject lo a draft in time
of war. v
Women aro exempt from preserving tho poaoo of
the Stale, but men aro compelled lo preserve the
peace of the Slate.
Buys become legally men at the ago of 21 years.
Girls aro legally pomitlcd lo marry provided their
parents and guardians aro willing, at iho ago of 14
years.
Women aro deprived of tho rights of suffrage.
Women aro not eligible loony Slate or National
oflico and deprived of ail Us honors and emoluments
Men aro eligible lo all (ho Siato and National
offices, and rocoivo all their honors and rewards.
Women are subject to taxation, but deprived of
representation.
Mon aro subject lo taxation, but enjoy representa
tion.
Womsn aannol dispose of personal properly, when
il Is tho common earnings of husband and wife.
Mod can dispose of personal property, when il Is

Men can dispose of real estate, when it is the

Tho properly of the wife cannot, under any oir*

Dot in all cases of separation or divorce,the Court
makes such disposition of Oio children as may scorn

‘I don’t say, Mr. Judgo, that the defendant was

—whoa 1 last seen him bo was washing bis faco in
a mud puddle, and drying It on a door mat. Wheth
er a sober man would do this, in course I can't say.*
Tho court (bought ho wouldn’t. The consequence
was tho 'defendant went up fur sixty days.'
To a reflective mind, nothing, however trifling,
passes unobserved. Each object makes an impres
sion i and creates an Idea that afterwards, though It

Pride is as loud a beggar as want, and a great

AGRICULTURE IN PENNSYLVANIA*
This subject is attracting more and moro atten

ul years, as the common saying is, every farmer
worked on his own hook, but a change had taken
place recently. Within the Ipal two years a B. ale
Agricultural Society and same twenty County Suci.
dies have been organised. Highly creditable exhi
bitions have boon hold by both Siulo und County
Societies, and everywhere the subjeot is attracting
the attention of intelligent and able men. These
exhibitions have brought to (ho notice uf (ho farmers
ol Pennsylvania (ho lines! slock, tho most approved
machinery, and (ho best grains, seeds, roots, &c.~
The articles exhibited or others like them have gen
erally been purchased, and taken into diflercal sec

they come. Thu of itself lends to great improve

man to analyze them, and suggest remedies lo cor

have doao this with marked success, and it is lime
that Pennsylvania, one of tho*,greatest agricultural
States of tho old thirteen, should lako stops upon
this subject.

A few yours ago, tho Hon. fteverdy Johnston, of

to. make It produce wheat. Ho, therefore, gave It
a good dressing of phosphate, sowed it In wheal,
without any ulhor manure, and obtained a crop of
thirty bushels to the aero. Hero was a practical il
