. and after they had attached a cord

lowered it through the chimney'very'
lightly into the chaMber, leaning it as:
uprightly against fie - wall as if the
man was alive. - Whet they thought
him placed correctly they withdreW
the card and left him in that attitude.
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

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 Lieutenant of Police, having
seen the report of the Policeman and
also the dead body, interrogated the
Christian merchant, who could not
deny the crime committed. 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." After having been told these
words;the justice of Police erected a
gallows and sent several constables to

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.

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. "That is not the way

'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

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."

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

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

You may imagine •the effect this

AN ANECDOTE OF TILE LATE
CHANCELLOR KENT.
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'

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

had• just pushed the supper tabla
against the door, when a tall . stal- : ,

with a big black cat-skin cap on his'
head, shoved open the door. 'Look

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

of relevant facts, without one tauto
logical word, is as characteristic of
the utterer, as the most condensed

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,
