The Jew and hie wife had barely. ar - rived at their chamber when the pro vision master entered into his. He had returned from a wedding to 'which that evening he Was invited, and had a lantern in his hand. Ile was greatly- surprised to see, by the light of his lantern, a - man standing against his.chhnney; but being natur ally courageous, - and imagining that he was a robber, be took a great stick with which he run right at him "All! ah !" he said, "I thought that it was 1 the rats and mice which ate my but- I ter and my grease, and I see it is you who comes through the chimney in order-to rob Me ! Ido not belieVe that you will ever enter here again." 'Raving uttered these words, he struck the humpback, and gave him several tskaea with his .battoon. The corpse fell on his nose, the storekeeper re doubled his blows; seeing at last.that the corpse which he *was beating, was without movement, he stopped to look at him. Finally, seeing that. it, was a corpse, fright commenced to suc ceed the rage. "What have I done, miserable !" he said, "I have slain a man ! I carried my vengeance too far. Almighty God if you don't have aler tly with me, it is all over with inc !" He stopped, pale and horror stricken, and almost imagined he already saw the court and the justice to drag him to the place of execution, and he did not know what to do. . The provision master of the Sultan, while beating the man, did not notice his hump; seeing it, he overwhelmed hiin with imprecations. "Accurs ed humpback," be said, "dog of a humpback,- would to God thou hadst I robbed the of all iny . grease, and that II had not found thee here; I wouldn't then be in the embarrassment in which I am now, on thy account and I thy ugly hump. Stars, which light en the sky," he added, "light for me only in a danger evident." Saying these words he took the copse upon 1 his shoulders, left his chamber, car ried it to the end of the street, deposi ted it there against a store, and re turned whence he came-without look ing behind. A few moments before daybreak, a, Christian merchant,who was very rich, and who furnished most of the arti cles for the Sultan's Palace which were needed, after having spent the night in debauchery, resolved to go : home, and take a bath. Notwithstand ing that he was drunk, he noticed that the prayer would soon arrive, he redoubled his steps to arrive at the bath place, fearing that a Musselman would go to church, meet him, and put hint in the jail as a drunkard.- - When he arrived at the 'end of the street, he was obliged to stop a few moments at his store, where the provision master had deposited the humpback, which, by a touch, fell over the back of the merchant, who thinking that he was attacked by a robber, with one blow knocked him on the ground, and gave him ma ny blows afterwards; then commenc ed to cry a robber. The policemen of the ward came to his assistance, seeing that it was a Christian who abused a Alusselman : "what reason;" he said, "have you to abuse a Musselman ?" "He wanted to rob me in order to take me by the neck." "You- are sufficiently reveng ed," he said, dragging him from the humpback and telling him to stop,— In the meantime he reached out his hand to help the humpback to get on Isis feet, but seeing that lie was dead : "Oh ! oh I" he said, "is it so, that a Christian dare murder a Musselman?" Saying - these words, he arrested the merchant, led him_to the Lieutenant of Police, who put - I,t4l,prison to await his trial. In j reELS 60 41t!'

The Lieu tenant, not disposed to execute the merchant without the order of the Sultan, vent to the palace to report the tragedy, where he was told : "I have no mercy to bestow up a Christian who slew a IlfuSselmati; proceed to your duty."

THE LITTLE HUMPBACK. Some time ago, at Casgar, extrem ity of the great Tartary, a tailor liv ed, who had a handsome wife whom he loved very much, and by whom he was loved. Working as he was, one day, a little hump back came, seating himself at the entrance of ids store, commenced to sing and to beat the drum. The tailor took pleasure to hear him, and resolved to lead him into his house to rejoice his wife, say. ing to himself, "With these songs he will divert us both this evening.' Ho made him the proposition, and the humpback having accepted it, he led him , into his house and closed the store. As soon as they arrived, the tailor's wife having covered the table, as it. was supper time, served a good plate full of fish which she had prepared. They all sat down at the table, and while eating the humpback .noforta. nately swallowed a large bead, from the effects' of Which he died after a few moments, before the tailor and his wife could render him any assist. ance. This unfortunate accident having occurred at their house, made them much afraid, as they thought the jus tice would findlt out and take them for the assassins. However, the tai lor found a remedy to disengage him self of the corpse. He and his wife took the humpback, one by the feet, the other by the head, and carried him to the house of a Jew Doctor, who lived in their neighborhood.— They rapped at the door, from which a steep stairs led up to his chamber. A servant deScended immediately, without a light, opened the door and asked what they wished, "Re-enter, if you please," said the tailor, "and tell your master that we have brought him a very sick man, in order to ren der him asssistanee." "Wait," he said giving a piece of silver into his band, "give that to your master in advance, as a persuation that we do not wish to deceive him for his pains." While the servant went to announce the happy news to the Jew Doctor, the tailor and his wife carried quick ly the corpse up stairs and deposited him upon the first step, and returned hastily home. Meantime the servant told the Doc tor that a man and a woman were waitin g - at the door, and requested him. to descend in order to see a sick person whom they had brought; pre. seating him the money he received. he was animated with enthusiasm. "rake quick the light and follow me," the Doctor said to the servant. Saying that, he proceeded down stairs ir. such haste that lie did not wait till the house was lit up, and came in contact with the corpse in such a rough man ner that it rolled down stairs, requir ing but very little to have made the Doctor roll after it. "I pray you, fetch me the light," he cried to the servant. Finally he came, and they went both down stairs, found that what rolled down was a dead man, and became so frightened frrmi this spectacle that he implored Moses ; Aaron, Joshua, Esdras, and the rest of the prophets of his faith. 'Unfor tunate as I am 1" he said, "why did I go down without a light ? I killed entirely the sick man they've brought me. lam the cause of his death. 1 am lost? Alas, they soon will take me as , a murderer 1" Notwithstanding the trouble which agitated him, he did not neglect the percaution to close his door, fearing that somebody might accidently pass the street, and see the misfor. tune of which. he was the cause.— He took the corpse immediately, car ried it into the chamber of his wife, who fainted as soon as she saw him enter with his fatal charge. "Ah !" he cried with agony, "it is all over with us if we don't find measures this night to disengage us from this corpse. We will undoubtedly loose our lives if we do not hide him before daylight." "What a misfortune ! How did you happen to kill this man?" asked his wife.

'"Let him go," he said to the II executioner, "and hang this man in his place, it being evident by his own confession that, he is the criminal."--, The executioner untied the merchant, fastening at the same time the cord 'around the neck .of the Alusselinan, when at once they heard the voice of the Jew-Doctor whO prayed them to cense the : execution, and made room for himself between the muititudc to proceed underneath the gallows. When he arrived, he said to the Lieutenant of Pollee : "Mister, this Musselman you were about,. to hang has not deserved the punishment it is I who -am the criminal. Yesterday during the night a man and. woman, whom I do not know, rapp6d at the doorof my hOuse bringing with them a Sick person. servant opened the door, without light and received a piece of silver, came back and told me to take charge Of the sick. While we were speaking they carried the sick man up stairs and disappeared. I descended without a light,. and in the obscurity I came in contact with the sick man and he rolled -down' stairs. Finally I saw that ho was dead, and that it was the Xusselthan humpback, whose death would surely be revenged.. We, my wife and my self, took the corpse, carried it to our roof, and lowered him from thence into the chatriber of the Musselman; our neighbor, who was about to die innocently. The Musselman found him, treated him as a robber, struck him, and thought he had .killed him; but, as you see by my statement, it is not so. I am the only murderer, and although I have done it against my intention, I am resolved to suffer the penalty in order: not to have any sting of conscience for having a man banged whO is innocent. Take him dowti if you please, and put me into his place, I being the only cause of the tragedy." . As soon as the judge was persuaded that the Jew Doctor was the murderer, he ordered him to be hanged and the Musselman to be released. The Doctor had the cord already around his neck,, and was about to cease breathing when sud denly was .heard the voice of the tai lor, praying the executioner not to proceed any further, and pressed him self through the people. Addressing the Lieutenant of Police : "Master," he said, "it required but very little that you had taken the lives of three innocent persons, but you will be so kind as to hear what I say, you will soon be acquainted with the actual murderer, when his death shall be suffered for by another; its is I. Last night as I was working in my store and was in a good humor, the hump back, already half drunk, arrived at my store and sat down. He sang a short time, and 1 proposed to him to pass the evening with us. He con sented, and I led him into the house. We took supper. together, and while eating, alarge bone stuck in his throat, and -little as we could do, my wife and me, he died under our fingers. We were very sorry about it, but fearing to get arrested, we carried the corpse to the door of the Jew. I tapped and told the servant, who opened the door, to return promptly and beg his mas ter to come down and see a sick per son we had brought, giving him at the same Lillie a purse of silver. While he was gone, I carried the corpse up stairs, upon the first steps, and soon went home, my wife and me. The Doctor, intending to descend the stairs, touched the corpse, and down it went, which made him believe he killed him. These being the facts, "let him Ifo and hang me." 0 "The Lieutenant of Police and all the spectators could not enough won der at the strange event by which the humpback was killed. Release the , Jew, the Lieutenant said to the exe cutioner, 'and bang the tailor, because yi,e,Jiis confessed himself of the crime. I triuz- , ..^1 . y . that this history is extra - oro ve,pto be writ ten. down in golden letters." The ex ecutioner released the doctor, fasten ed the cord around the neck of the Tailor, and while he prepared to hang him, the Sultan of Casgar, who could not stay long without the humpback, (his court fool) demanded to see him, and was told by one of his officers : "Sire, the humpback, of Whom your Majesty is anxious, after being drunk yesterday, Went from -the Palace which was unusual; `to run' about the city, and was found dead this morn ling. A. man was brought before the Lieutenant of Police, who was accus ed of having killed him, and immediL ately the judge erected a gallows to have him hanged.

CURIOUS FRENCH STORY A week or ten days ago, says a Paris letter.writer, a young man, originally from that country, became engaged to marry a lady equal to him in age and fortune. She was a Pali.: sian. He occupies a lucrative• place in une,of the railway companies' of. floes here. His father lives on the old. family cetate, which is situated in one of the. mountain gorges near the Franco Spanish frontier, and separa ted almost completely from the world. He had _passed for a widdw. er above twenty years. The young man paid a visit to the old family. seat, where, indeed, he was accus tomed to spend his summer vacs, tions, to collectlhe innumerable dom. ments the French law requires the of ficer who performs marriages to have in his hands before he stamps the civ. it contract made before him with its Medean and Persian character. He asked his father for his mother's bu rial certificate. The father was e.)r treinely embarrassed by this iippeal, but as no bans could be published un til the burial certificate -had been lodged at the Mayor's office, where the marriage was to be 'contracted, the father at last broke silence, say. ing : "My dear boy, I have for a great many years concealed a secret from you, because " its possession would prove a painful burden to you, and because the honor of our house is in terested in its maintenance, and your tender years have hitherto rendered you incapable of preserving it. Your mother lives. She is a lunatic. Come with me, and I'll let you sec her." He carried his son, who was trem bling With emotion, into an old tower, which formed part of the architecture of the chateau, and they went to the top of it. The chamber on the last floor was the lunatic's cell. He open• ed the door, 'the son entered it, and kneeling at the poor woman's feet, sobbed, "Mother ! mother !" in a most heartrending manner. These touch ing appeals, which would have moved stone idols almost., made no impres sion on the poor lunatic. Her stare continued as vacant and her .lii3tb:l4,‘ spcechlesS as ever. The son, his soul sick at the sad speCtdcle, then gently upbraided his father for denying him the melancholy solace of sharing the attentions he, the father, had bestow ed upon his wile's wreck for so many years The father repeated the ex cuses he had first given of his son's youth and the importance of the se cret-to the family's happiness. It be came necessary to avow this misfor tune to the bride's family; and they. naturally desired to see for them selves, as the story that the wife was dead and the story that she was cra zy seemed something awkward,which needed explanation. Several mem bers of the family went down to the distant chateau, and the poor lunatic was introduced. As soon as she saw herself sur rounded by witnesses, she said, in a calm tone: "I am not mad, My hus band, becoming the prey of a most unreasoning jealousy, and I being alone in this secluded mansion, to es cape his continual scenes of violence, and to avoid the fear I was continu ally under of being assassinated by him, (he threatened more than once to kill me,) I say, I feigned madness in the hope of enjoying something like quiet. I preferred languishing in prison all my life to being hourly harrasscd by these dreadful scenes of jealauSy." .„ You may imagine •the effect this declaration made. The persons as• sembled thought, at first, this accusa tion was but additional cvidenco of the distracted_ state of her mind, for madness often borrows reason's mask, and wears it so Ivell,as to deceive ev en the most practiced physicians of the tnifid.

Ie the March number of the Knick erbocker is an anecdote •of the. late Chancellor Kent, illustrating. his. le gal read i n ess for personal conaequence, as told by 'John Waters': •'.. "When Canandaigua had some six ty or sevcnty.five inhabitants:---when all the villages of the western part of our State was almost 'not;' Chancel, lor — ltent, and his wife, Betsy, (we think we are right in the name,) were traveling in a one-horse wagon, in an unfrequented road, toward the tease of friends who lived in that then more accessible region. Night came on; the travelers lost their way; took the wang road: the horse, feel, :ing on as7ttll as he could in the gath ering darkness of the forest path:.at length he stopped altogether, just as the clear blue eye. of 'the Chancellor' o e discerned l , light of a dwelling. in, the (listen The tired-animal was chirrnpped n, and the weary travel ers reached: the log-house, where a . good Wood•fire was glowing, and a • long tallow Aildle burning in the winow. It fa'y occupant was a 'busy houseo . l l ', l ),ying her evening cure:' She r.76.7tatat le Chancellor and •his wife welcome ; .explained that she had got supper ready for 'her man,' who was 'cut tin cord-Wood' some 3 or 4 miles off, and sometimes didn't come home till quite late.' She gave the travelers a good homely supper. with an excellent cup of tea; set aside .her husband's repast for his refreshment . when he should arrive; told her guests that she 'guessed they was awful tir- ed, and would like to go to bed, as for her part, she should;' and added : 'You may take our bed, in the corner there, and when 'my man comes, please let him in: we'll sleep up cham ber.' So saying, she bade them 'good night,' took a candle, and went up a ladder through a square hatch-way or trap-door to an ungarnished 'upper chanter,' Her guests now retired : but as they lay conversing, the Judge suddenly said : 'Betsy, the door don't lock? that 'man' will: be coming home, before long: and seeing 'another man,' as he will suppose, in bed with' his wife, he'll begin to chop! That will never do. I'll fix it, though: I'll place the table against the door; and while he is pushi lig i t open, I can make the whole thing plain to him in a min ute:'• So 'the Chancellor arose, and • had• just pushed the supper tabla against the door, when a tall . stal- : , wart Bgure in red flannel shirt sleeves;. with a big black cat-skin cap on his' head, shoved open the door. 'Look ed he Vetningly'—vcry ;—but thus then hi4ainguished interloper: 'My name,' shill he 'is James Kent : I am Chancellor of the State of New York:. the woman in that. bed - is my wife _Betsy : your wife is up stairs : tbere is your supper !' This brief grouping of relevant facts, without one tauto logical word, is as characteristic of the utterer, as the most condensed 'legal statement' in the world renown- ed 'Commentaries' NOT DEEP ENOUGH FOR PR/1Y- Offil We heard, a night or two since, a tolerable good story of a couple of rAtamen. The event occurred during the .late big blow on the Mississippi,. at which . time so many rafts were swamped, and so many steamboats lost the sky-riggings. A raft was , just emerging from Lake Pepin, as the squall came. In an instant the - vq.t.wa pity ing and writhing as if sudden opped into Charybdis, while the waves broke over with tre= mentions uproar, and expecting in stant destruction, the raftsman dropp ed on his knees and commenced pray ing with a vain equal to the emergency. Happening to open hiseyes an instant, he observed his companion, not en gaged in prayer, but pushing a pole into the water at the side of the raft. "What's that yer doin', Mike?"— said he; "get down on yer knees,now, for there isn't a minit between us and. Purgatory !" "Be aisy, Pat," said the other, as he coolly continued to punch the wa ter with his pole : "be aisy, now ! what's the use of praying when feller can fetch bottom with oriole ?" Mike is a pretty good specimen of a large mass of Christians, who prefer to - omit prayer as long as they can "fetch bottom." A REAL RELISIIER OF A JOKE A man lately received twenty lash. es, well laid on, at the whipping post in an English town. The culprit, in stead of bellowing when the consta ble applied the lash, laughed im moderately, which made the angry officer lay on with the harder force. On giving him his twentieth blow the officer could stand it no longer. "Well, look here, mister, said the offended officer, "I"ve done my duty, and I can lik ye no more, but rd like to know what it is that's go fun ny?" ' "Funny!" roared - the other, "why it's excellent. Yoteve got the wrong Smithl: I ain't the man that was to be whipped! It's the other one.— N . ow you'll have to go it all over again ! Really it's too good! You I'must . whip the other man too ! Ha, ha!"
