BEING THE ONE THOUSAND AND SECOND NIGHT
'After those long wars,' began Sche
herazade, as soon as her husband had
given the accustomed signal, 'after
those long wars in Persia, which end
ed in the destruction of the ancient
and monstrous Ghebir, or fire wor
ship, in that country, and the tri
u mph of our holy religion: for though,
my lord, the Persians aro Soonies by
creed, and not followers of Omar, as.
every true believer in the prophet
ought to be, nevertheless—'
'A truce to your nevertheless, mad
am,'
interrupted the Sultan,, want

sir ; after the expulsion of
the Ahrimanians, King Abdulraman
governed Persia worthily- until he
died after at surfeit, of peaches, and '

casting: down her lovely eyes, ,swhich
ought at .present to , belong. to your

Although the Sultan only muttered
‘Stufl and uonsense, get a.long"•-with
you; it wuslevident by the blush=-en
the• royal ; couutenance, and the_ smile
which lighted up the black waves of
the impertal beard, as a sunbeam.does
the sea, that his majesty was; leased,
and that the storm was abouteto dis
appear. Seheherazade continued :
'.sl.ushook,- ascending the throne,
passed honorably the first year of his
reign in perfecting the work so hap
pily begun by his royal father. He
caused a general slaughter of all the
Ghebirs in his land to take place, not
only of the royal family, but of the
common sort; nor of the latter did
there-remain any unkilled (if,l may
coin such a.-word) or unconverted;
and,'as to the former, they were ex
tirpated root and branch, with the
exception of one of- the most dogged
enchanter and Abrimanian, Ghnzroo
by name, who, with his sort Ameen-
Adhawb, managed to escape out of
Persia, andled to India, where still
existed-some remnants of, their mis
erably superstitious race. But Bom
bay is a long way from Persia, and
at,the former place it was that
roe and his son took: refuge, • giving
themselves up-to their diabolical en•
chan tments, and worship, and calling
themselves king and prince of Persia.
For them, however their plans and
their pretensions, iing guehook lit
tie cared, often singing in allusion to
them, those well-known,.verses of
Hafts :,--

And declares that the lamb is his undistorted property.
Brag. O neldoo.shout your rights mallow possessions ;
But the lamb a the rice are his,who dines on the , pilau. "
The Sultan could hardly contain
himself for laughing at this admira
ble epigram, and, without farther in
terruption, Scheherazade contittn.ed
her story.
'King Mushook was'then firmly es
tablished on his throne and had for
his vizier that famous and worthy
'statesman Munsoor; one of the ugh-
CIA and oldest, but also one of,,the
wisest of men, and attached beyond
everything, to the Mushook dynasty,
though. his .teeth had been knocked
out by the royal slipper. ,
`And, no doubt,l Aushook served
him righ't,' observed , the,Saltaa...
'Though his teeth bad been knock

And happening to fall •
Against his broad and sturdy side,
At once began to bawl :

Cried, "110 what have we here

And happening to take

'Thus boldly up and spake :

The Fourth retched out hie eager hand,
And felt about the knee;

BY MAJOR G. o'o. GAIIALIAN, M.R.1.0 S
TUB MAGIV POWDER,
LEBANON, PA., WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 30, 1861.
- garden-pavilion at Tehran, 'sick of
political affairs, which is no wonder,
sick 'even of the beautiful •houris who,
had been dancing before him to the
sonncl of lutes and mandolins—tired
of the jokes and antics of the buffoons
and story-tellers,--let me say at once
dyspeptic, and in a shocking humor;
old Munsoor, (who had already had
the royal pipe and slippers flung half
a-dozen times at his head,) willing by
any means to dissipate his master's
lighted in the outer courts of
the palace, as he was hieing diseonso•
, lately home; upon an old pedlar-wo
man, who was displaying her wares,
'to a crowd of wondering persons and
'palace-servants, and makingthern die
with laughing at her jokes:
'The vizier drew near, heard her
jokes,* and examined her wares, which
were extraordinarily beautiful and de.
termined to conductler into the au
gust presence of the king.
'Mushook was so, pleased with her
stock in trade, that like a royal and
generous prince, he determined to
purchase her whole pack, box, trin
kets, and all; giving her own price
for them. So she yielded up her box,
only taking out of one of the draw
ers a little bottle, surrounded by a
paper, not much biggerlhan an ordi.
nary bottle of Macassar oil.'
'Macassar oil 1 Here's an anaeh.
ronismr thought the Sultan. But he
suffered his wife to proceed With her
tale.
'The old woman was putting this
bottle away into her pocket, when
the Sultan's eye lighted upon it, and
he asked her in a fury, why she was
making off with this property ?
'Sliesaid she had sold him the whole
pack, with the exception of that bot
tle • and thatit Could be of no good
to him, as it was . only a common old
Crystal bottle, a fainily piece; of no
sort of use to any but the owner.
"What is there in the bottle ?' ex•
claimed the keen and, astute vizier.
•'At this the old woman blushed as
far as her weazened old face , could
blush, hemmed, ha'd, stuttered, and
showed evident signs of confusion.—
She said it"was only a common bot
tle—that there was nothing in -it—_
that is, only a powdera- little rhu
barb.
"It's poison!'l roared - ushook;'l m
sure its poison And be forthwith
Seized the old.hag by the throat, and,
would have - strangled her; if the Viz
ier had not wisely interposed, remark
ing, that if the woman were strati
gled, there could be no means of know-.
ing what the.bottle - contained. ,
"To spew you,`sire, - that it -is not
poison,' cried the old creature to the
king; who -by this time had wrenched
the - bottle out of her pocket, and held
it, in his hand; will take a little of
the powder it contains. Whereupon
his majesty called for a spoon, deter
mined to administer the powder- to
her himself.. Thechief of the elm ichs •
brought-the teaspoon, the king emp
tiedu littluof the pmvderinto -and
biddingtheola wretch open her great,
, black,:gapi ng; .ruinous mou th; , t a
little of the powder- on-her tongue;
when;: to: ;his astonishment, and as
true .as , sit here, her -eld itooked
'beak of -a nose ( w ich- by.w ay of pre
caotion, he was bplaingi n hie Angers)•
slipped from betweea them; .the old,
black tongue, pn. : w.hichbe placed. the
teaspoon, diaappeareOrom.o n der it ;
:and hot only the twat:, and the thngac,-
but the. Whole old woman vanished
aWity,entirely, and his majesty stood
there with his two handa,extended—
the one looking as--if it pulled anirn
aginary. pose, the -other holding an
empty teaspoon; and .he himself star
ing wildly at vacancy r
‘Seheherazade,' said the Sultan,
gravely, 'you are drawing the king
bbw a little top strongly. In the
thousand and one nights that wetave
passed-together .I. have given -credit
to every syllable you uttered. But
this tale. about -the old woma.n,- my
love, is,.upon my hour, too monstrous.'
• 'Not -a whit, sir; and assure your
majesty that it, is as true - as the Ko
ran Itself: It,:is a fact 'perfectly :WO
authenticated, and written afterwards
by King kfushook'scrders,rin the-Per
sian annals. The old woman vanish
ed altogether; the kingwas leftstand
ing.therpwith the bottle and spoon ;
the .vizier _was : dumb -with- wonder;
and the.only thing seen to quit the
room was a little canary--bird, , that
suddenly started.up.before the king's
face, and -ebirping - 'out
flew-out of the open window, skim
med over the' pond and-plane-trees in
the garden, and was last seen wheel
ing, round And round the _minaret of
the- great mosque of Tehran.: .
'.M.ashallfth 1' exclaimed the Sultan.
'Beaven is great: but I never should
have credited the tale, had not.-you,
my love, vouched for it. Goon, mad
am, arid-tell us what became of the
bottle and- Sultan illushook.'
'Sir, when the king had recovered
from'his astonishment, he fell,-as his
custom` was, into a fury, and coukl
only be , calmed bythe arguments and
persuasions of the grand vizier.
'lt is evident, sire,' observed that
dignitary, Ithatthe powder' which you
have just administered possesses some
magic property ;-either to make the
persons taking itinvisible, or else to
cause them to change into the form
of some bird or other animal ; and
very possibly:the canary.bird which
so suddenly appeared' and disappear
ed:just:now; Was the very old woman
with whom your majesty was talking.
We can easily see whether the 'pow
der creates invisibility, by trying its
effects upon some one—the chief of
the eunuchs for example.' And, ac
cordingly'lludge Gudge, the chief of
the eunuchs, against whom the vizier
had'an of cl grudge waa compelled,
tyhtas t ,sif they have net sOet ,ef ,poi ut except 'Mr ,tho
P• 111113 scholar, are her entirely "atitted.-41.
with tinny wry faces, to•t4/44 ~the
mixture. . , ,
•
" • , Thou art - so ugly, Hudge Gudge,'
exclaimed the vizier with "a grin',
.‘tbat
to render thee invisibK will only. be
conferring a benefit upon thee.' But,
strange to say, though the eunuch
was made to .swallow a largo dose,
the powder had : no sort of effect upon
him,..and he stood, before his majesty
and the prime ,minister as ugly and
as visible as ever.
'They now thought of looking at
the paper in which the bottle was
wrapped, and the king not knowing
how to read himself, bade the grand
vizier explain to him the meaning of
the writing whiCh appeared upon :the
paper. . .
'But the vizier confessed, after ex
amining the doeument, that hOcottld
not, enderstandit.,;, and though it,was
presented at the divan that. day; to all
the . councillqrs, mullahs ,, and men
learned in the law, not one of them
could Understand a syllable of the
strange characters written on the pa-'
per. The council broke up in conster
nation; for his majesty swore, that if
the paper was not translated before
the next day at noon, he . would bus
tinado every one of the • privy coun
cil, beginning with his excellenoythe
grand vizier.
'Who has such . a sharp wit as ne
eessity ?' touchingly 'exclaims the po
et Sadee, and so, in corroboration of
the words of that divine songster, the
next day at noon, sure enough, a man
was found—kmost ancient, learned,
and holy dervish, who knew all the
languages under the sun, and by con
sequence that in which the paper was
written.
'lt was the most secret Sunsuit
tongUe,; and When the dervish read
it, he requested that he might corn.
mnnieate it contents privately to his
majesty, or at least only in the pies•
enee.of his first minister.
'Retiring then to the private apart
ments with the vizier, his majesty
bade the.dervish Interpret .tho mean-
ing of the writing round the bottle..
'The meaning, sire, as this,' said
the learned dervish.. 'Whoever,- after
bowing his head three times to the
east.-7
ory
ne -old woman waggled.' hers,'
cried :the.:king: remarked but
thought it was only palsy.'
-• Whoever,' after bowing his
. head
three times to the east, swallows
grain of this powder, may change
himself into whatever animal' he
please; 'be it beast, or insect, or-bird.
Likewise, when 'he is so ehanged,l , he
'will know the language of beasts, in
sects, and birds, and be able to answer
each after his kind. 'AO when the
person so transformed desires 'to be
restored to his own shape-, he has on
iy too- utter the name of the god ABud
garoo,'. who himself appeared upon
'earth iw , the shape -of beasts, birds,
ay', and fishes,+'•und he will -instantly

'filled' with Sugar•:etindy, gave him a
pnrse of gold; and'bilde him- depart
with 'every honor.
."You had hater at least hate wait
ed,' said the shrewd vizier, 'to see if
the interpretation he' correct, for who
can tell whether this dervish is de.
ceiving us or no P
'King "Idushook rejoined that that
point should be put at rest at, once,
and grimly smiling, ordered the viz
ier to take a pinch of powder, and
change himself into whatever animal
he pleased.
.
-4 Munsoor had nothineorit, but to
wish himself a dog; he 'turned to the
east,- nodded his head thrice; swal
lowed the powder, and lo ! there he
was----a poodle—an old fat; - lathe; one
eyed poodle, whose appearance-made
his master laugh inordinately, though
Mansoor , himself,• remembering tl.
prohibition and penalty, was fir too
wise to -indulge in any' such ~cachinn
ation.
'Having satisfied Ids royal Master
byy - hiS antics, the old vizier uttered
the requisite Word, and was speedily
restored to his former shape.:
•
, And now I m ighttel I how the King
of Persia and his faithful attendant
indulged, themselves - in . all sorts of
transfbrmations by the use of - the
powder; how they frequented the so
ciety of all manner of beaStS, and gath
ered a deal of wisdom from their con
versation; howperch hie, on this hoilse,
top in the likeness of •sparroWs, they
peered into all the family secrets of
the proprietors; hew buzzing into
that harem window in the likeness of
bine-bottlefiies,they surveyed at their
leisure the beauties Within, and en.
joyed the confuSion of the emirs
noblemen, when they' described to
theM at divan 'every particular re

The unexpected death of Cul, 13alc.
cr is the general theme of conversa
tion to-day. He was the true type of
a gentleman, an accomplished . otlicer
and a gallant soldier. His untimely
fate has cast a gloom over a large cir
cle of warmhearted friends. The re•
bels, in every skirmish we have yet
had, picked dffsonie of our best offs
curs. The fault is generally their own;
in their honest and patriotic zeal for
thueause of the. Union they - .expose
themselVes too much.
The Skirmish at Edwarcies Ferry—
The Death of Col. Bake?
The skirmish at Edwards's Ferry,
and in the vicinity.- of Leesburg, yes

apprehended. The rebels allowed
our forces to cross the .river without

opened upon them from ambuscades
and masked batteries. A-portion of
