EASTERN STORIES.
, .
It.was long since well 'ternarked,
that we can be' hardly said to have 'a
new story in the world. All the new
tales, says Chaucer, were in his time
dome out of the old books, And the
farthdr we trace back into the East,
the more remote does the origin •of
our most trival and popular 'legends
appear ,to be. In the Vrikat
which is a collection 'of I l lindoo tales,
derived from the Sanscrit, we' are
told the adventures of *Putraba, one
of which is—
"While wandering in the woods he
beheld two men struggling with each
other. He enquired who they were.
They . replied that they Were the sons
of Mayasnr, and were cOntendingler
a magic cup, staff, and pair of slip
pers—the first of which yielded inex
haustible viands, the second generat
ed any object which it delineated,.
and the third transported a person
through the air.. The stronger of the
two was to possess these articles.—
Putraba then observed to them, that
violence was a very improper mode of
settling their pretensions; and that
it would be better they should adjust
the, dispute by less objectionable
means. He therefore proPbsed . that
they should run a racefor the contes
ted articles, and the.fleetest win them.
They agreed and set off They were
no sooner at a little distance, than
Eutraha, putting his feet into the
slippers, and seizing the cup and staff,
mounted into the air, and left the ra
cers in vain to lament their being out
witted." •
A NOTIfER
Whilst I. Vararuchi the Story-tell
er,
was - absent, my wife, who perform
ed with' pious exactitude her ablutions
in the 'Ganges, attracted the notice
and desires of several suitors,ebape
chilly of the king's domestic priest,
the commander of the guard, and the
young prince's preceptor , who annoy.
ed her by their importunities, and
terrified her by their threats till at
last she determined to expose and
punish their depraVity. Having fix
ed upon the plan, she 'made an ap
pointmcnt for the same evening with
.her three lovers, each being to come
to her house an hour later than the
other. Being :desirous of propitiat
ing the gods, she sent to our banker
to obtain money to distribUte in alms;
and when he arrived, he ex . presed'the
same passion as the rest, on her com
pliance with which, be promised to
make over to her the money that .1
placed in his hands ; Or on lies refusal,
he would retain it to his own use.—
Apprehending the loss of our proper
ty, therefore she made a similar as
signation with nt, and desired him to
come to her house that evening, at an
hour when she 'calculated on having
disposed of her first corners, for whose
reception as well as his, she arranged
with her attendants the necessary
preparations.
"At the expiration . of the first
watch of the night • the precentor of
the. PriOce arrived. ttpakosa-affected
toreceive him with great .delight;
and after some conversation, desired
him to take a bath, Which her hand
maids ha(l prepared for. him. as a,pre
liminary pomiition to any -farther in•
timacy„, Thc, preceptor inade,not the
least ohjeetion, on whin he .was 'con
ducted into a retired - and dark °ham
hery w here his 'bath - was ready.. On
undressing, his own clothes and :or
naments ,were removed, .and in their
. place a small wrapper . given to -him,
which was a piece, of cloth smeared
with a mixture of oil, lampbiack.,, and
: perfumes. Similar cloths -were. em
ployed to rub him after bathing, :so
that he was of a perfectly obon colour
f'rom top to toe. The rubbing occu
pied the time till thesecondlover (the
priest) arrived, on which the women
exclaimed. 'Here is our mastees.par
ticular friend—in, in here, or all will
• be discovered ;'—and- hurrying their
victim away, they thrust him into a
long and .stout wicker basket, faeteri
ed well by a holt outside, in . which
they left.him to meditate upon his
mistress.
'Thnpriest and the commander of
the guard. were secured, as "they ar
rived, in a similar maliner; and it
only remained to dispose of thebank
er. When he made his appearance,
Upakosa,.leading him near the bask
ets, said aloud,---JYou promise to :de
liver me my husband's property; 'and
he replied. (The- wealth. your hus
band entrusted to me shall be - .yours.'
On Which she turned, towards the
basket, and said. '',Liet the gods hear
the, promise of Hiranyagupta.' The
bath . was then proposedAo - -the
banker. Before the -ceremony was
completed, the day began to dawn, on
which .the servants desired him to
make the best ofhis way borne, lest
-the neighbors should notice his de.
parture; and with this recommenda
tion they forced hini naked as he - was
into the street. Having no alterna
tive, the banker hastened to conceal
himself in his own house being chas
ed all the way by the dogs of the
town. . •
"So soon as it was day, Upakosa
repaired to the palace of Nanda, and
presented a .petition to the king a
gainst the banker, for.seeking to -ap
propiate the pfoperty entrusted to
him by her husband. The banker
was summoned. He:denied .having
ever received any money from me.--
Upakosa then said, 'When my bus
band went away, he placed-our house
hold gods in three baskets; they
have heard this `man .acknowledge
bo, bolding a deposit of my husband's
and let them bear witness for me.'
'Rite 'king, with some feeling .of:
prise and incredulity, Ordered the
baskets to be sent for,,audtbey were
accordingly, produced :in: `lhir Open

Afraid of this .raenaced - exposure,-:the
tenants of t1.114 , -baskets immediately
exclainied,---AVerily, in our presence,

words, the' whialt court was filled with.

overwhelmed with the laughter and
derision of all the assembly. As soon
- as'the Merriment had subsided Nanda,
begged . I.lpakosa, to explain what it
aemeant, and he acquainted him
with what had occurred. Nanda I
was highly incensed, and. as the pun
ishment of their offense, banished the .
criminals from the kingdom. Ile was
equally pleased with the virtue and
ingenuity of my wife, and loaded her
with Wealth and honor. Her family
were likewise highly gratified by her
conduct, and. she obtained the admi

TILL A,NOTTIER..
"In t = 1 i year of the Ilejira,
in th= •f.Siraf, lived an 'old
woma y ier three sons. who turn
ing out p . iii,eates:, spent their
,own
money and their' mother's fortune a.
baridoned,her, and went to live at
Kais. A little wh:le . after, 11. Siraf
merchant took a &aging voyage to
India and freighted 'a ship." It was
the custom of those days:that when
a man undertook a voyage to a dis
tant land, each of his friends entrust:
ed to his care some article of their
property, and received the produce
on their return: The old woman who
was a friend of 'the merchant, corn
plained that her sons had left •her so
destitude, that except a eat, she had
nothing to send as an adventure,
which yet she requested him to take.
On arriving in India, he waited on
'the king of the country, who having
granted - him permission to trade with
his subjects, also invited him to dine.
The merchant was surprised to see
the beards of the king and his court.
iers incased in golden tubes, and the
more so, when he observed that every
man had p" stick in his hand. Ills
surprise still increased, when upon
serving up th dishes, he saw swarms
of mice sally out from the walls, and
make such an attack upon the victu
als as to acquire. the greatest vigilance
of the guests in keeping them off
with sticks. This extraordinary
scene brought tie cat of the old wo
man of Siraf nto the merchant's mind.
When he dined a second time with the
king he put ,the cat, under arm,
and no sooner did the mice appear
then he let it go, and to: the delight
of the king : and his courtiers, hun
dreds of mice were laid dead about
the
.floor. The king, of course, long
ed to possesa so valuable an animal, I
and the merehantagreed to give it up,
provided an adequate :cOmpensation
were made to its , real—owner. .When
the - mereliantw-as about his departure,
.he was shown a sliip.finely equipped, .
laden with all` sorts of merchandise,'
-and which he wastold, was to be giv-- .
en to the old woman for her cat.' .=•0

One
.or the legends, of the lake is
told thus: :Once every seven years,
on a ?me morning, before the first rays
of the sunrhare•begun to disperse the
mists of the bosom of the lake, the
Calonaghtte comes riding over it on
a beautiful snow-white horse, intent
upon
.household affairs, fairies hover
ing before hiin ' and strewing his path
with flowers. As he- approaches his
ancient residence, everything turns
to its former state of magnificence—
his castle, his library, his;prison, and
his„pigeon-honSe, are reprodticed AS
in the olden time. Those . :who. .have
courage to follow. hitn.oVer- the lake,
may cross the deepest parts dry-foot
ed,-and ride with 'him into-the oppo
site mountains, where his-treasures lie
concealed; and the daring Visitor•will
receive a liberalgift in. return for; his
company, but before the-sun :had ris
en, the O'llonaghne reerosses the wa
ter, and vanishes, amidst the' ruins of
his castle."
Another relates *how a young and
beautiful. girl' named Melaka, when
wandering along the banks of the
beautiful lake, after .the• list rays of
the setting sun'had gilded; the hori ,
zen, saw by the pale light of`theibil

BERDAN'S ONLY DUEL
The following anecdote is told of
Berdan was always an ex - -
pert shot. kany years ago, he was
talking with,a friend in the,bar-room
of an inn at'a
.town on the Kentucky
side of the Ohio. fri the rOom was
:Also - one of those bowie-knife bullies
.who infested the South and West—
a man who had made himself dread
ed wherever he was known, by his
readiness to pick a quarrel, and his
skill with the knife, the rice, and the
pistol. This man stepping up to
Mr. Berdan's friend, said he wanted
to speak to him.
uWait a moment," was the reply.
And the interrupted conversation
wont on.
Soon the bully stepped up again,
and laying his hand on the shoulder
of his acquaintance, said in a tone of
half banter, half earnest.
“J--; when I tell y - Ou I want you,
1 expect you to come:”
"Certainly, certainly; but Mr. Bet••
dan was taking about his invention;
and it erasso interesting that---."
q)ly, d—n those Yankee inventions,
and the scaly fellOws who como to
sell them:"
The wards were -hardly well spok
en whenJhe speaker was flying back-
Ward over a huge open stove behind
him, being constrained thereto by a
resell-delivered blow between the eyes
from Mr; .Berd an's right arm. There
was a tumult at once; the men threw
themselves. between the inventor and
immediate
. death. They informed
Min, however, that he would proba
bly haVe - to fight. Berdan replied
that he , was:not a fighting man, but
he-should not brook an insult. He
was challenged in due form, and ac
cepted, naming as his weapons rifles
at two Th l tindred yards. The arms
suited his opponent "exactly," but
be wanted to wait a few day, till he
recovered the use of his eyes. Mr.
M. was accommodating. But - the
blow was so well planted that- theye
covery *as rather slower than was
-expected and meanwhile a long-ax
peeted rifle match came off in the
neighborhood, which was to decide
the merits of two rival manufactu
ers—one of whom was the famous
We7son. :Wesson had undertaken to
produce a man who, with his rifle,
could beat Dimmick, a great shot,
whose - remarkable feats had brought
the'rival4gun into general fiver. To
make the story short, Wesson's cham
pion proved to be Mr. Berdan, who,
on three trials of ton or twelve shots
each at-two hundred yards, not only
beat Diremick, on every trial, but
Made'tlin , greatest- rifle shooting on
record in this country. Ills name, of
course; was., in that place, at once in
everybody's mouth ; but the hub of
the Whole affair was that he soon re
ceived a message from his - challenger
that it was hardly worth while for
him to await the recovery icf the
damaged eye, and that he might con
sider :tho challenge as withdrawn.
And so ended-the Only duel and the
only rifle -match in' which Berdan
was engaged. •

violently and illegally torn from that sa

The Observer adds ;—"'There is no rea

the quarter-deck of the British admiral at
New York, or Washington itself, in the
face of jome ten or twelve men-of-war,
whose presence in the Potomac would ren
der the blustering cabinet at Washington
as helpless as the Trent was before the
guns and cutlasses of the San Jacinto. It
is no fault of ours if it should come even
to this: The arrangements for increasing
the force in Canada are not yet complete,
Amt in a very few hours everything will be
settled."
the meantime a large ship, the Atel.
bourne, bus been taken up and is now be.
Mg loaded with Armstrong guns, some
80,000 Enfield rifles, ammunition and ()thee
stores at Woolwich.
It is not impossible that this vessel will
be escorted by one or two ships of war.
The rifles are intended for the Canadian
military, and a strong reinforcement of
field artillery will be dispatched forthwith.
The Times' City article, of the 300,
says :
" The position of the Federal States of
America, is almost identical in every com
mercial point with that which was occu
pied towards us by Russia before the Cri
mean war. Russia had a hostile tariff,while
we looked to her fora large portion of our
general supply of breadstuff's. But there
is this peculiarity in our present case, that
the commenecineut would be by the'break
ing• up of the blockade of the southern
ports at once, setting free our industry.
from the. anxiety of a cotton famine,'and
giving enre prosperity to Lancashire throe
the winter.
"At the same time we shall open our
trade to eight millions in the Confederate
States, who desire nothing better than to
be our customers."
At the Privy Council an order was is
sued prohibiting the export from the Uni
ted Kingdom or carrying coastwise g-a a
powder, saltpetre,nitrate of soda and brim
stone.
- The Times has no hope that the Federal
government will comply with the demands
of England.
The Morning Star declares that the
statement of instructions having been sent
to Lord Lyons, to obtain the restitution of
the confederate commissioners, or to take
leave.of Washington, was premature, and
so exaggerated as to be virtually untriiie..
The ,Liverpool Courier believes that the
Warrior has beeu ordered to Annapolis
with the ultimatum of the goverumeat.
A DESERTER SHOT.—The first execution
in the army took place on Friday last.—
The unfortunate victim was named Wm.
H. Johnson, a private in the Lincoln Cav
alry. His offence was desertion. Ile tried
to reach the enemy, and coming across
some of our outer pickets thought he had.
succeeded, and communicated to them in
forin&tion that would have been \ ery val
uable to the rebels.. He was at once ar
rested and returned to camp. The esectz
tion took place in the presence of about
7000 soldiers belonging to Gen. Franklin's
division. A. detachment of twelve men were
detailed for the purpose. Eight of them
first fired, when Wilson fell on his coffin,
but life not being e4tinct, the other four in
reserve fired with the desired effect. The,
correspondent of the Tribune gives these
particulars of the execution:
The ground chosen (on the Leesburg
turnpike near the Fairfax Theological Se
minary) for the execution was such as to af
ford all in attendance a view of the solemn
proceedings. The troops were matched
to the spot to funeral music, and formed,
into a hollow square. The display was unu
'suety imposing, and the utmost decorum
characterized the movements of tile Men-
Everything being in order, a procession,
headed by Capt. Boyd, Provost Ytatslial
of the division, and consisting of a company
of mounted cavalry from the - regiment to
which the prisoner was attached, followed,
by the twelve men on foot from 'the same
regiment, who had been designated rnit exe
cutioners, a wagon containing a plain Cof
fin, and another in which Johnson rode,
accompanied by a priest, chaplain of the
31st Regiment New York Volunteers, Mo
ved slowly through the open columns of
the troops, the hands of the several regi
meats playing the (hear:mm.l2. .
All eyes were fixed on the doomed israz,
His countenance indicated- severe depres
sion; but he sat steadily and composed, ap
parently intent upon:the counsels of - the
priest. His features were not indicative
of his great crime, and it is said that his
Character has not heretofore been staimed
by any marked inistieeds,
During an interview last :evening with
several officers, he was in excellent spirits,
and appeared to have no realization of his
impending' rata. indeed, it was the gene
ral impression in the army that he would be
reprieved, especially when it was rumored
that lie wait insane.
The procession ha-ring gone the rounds.,
it was drawn'up in the center of. a hollow
square which had been formed by the mil
itary. The coffin was removed .from the
wagon, and Johnson seated upon% in full
:view of the whole assemblage. --
The priests performed... Blast . stuss, -and'
the death-warrant was read to the pris
oner by the Breypit4arshal, as it had
been to the several-iftiments by the col
onels. Johnson being told that he. might
speak if he had aught to Bay, exclaimed, in_
tremulous tones :
"Boys, I ask pardon of Almighty God'
;mod of all men for what I did. May Ai
litighty Go.' pardon me, and keep all of,you
4 tipm all sup c sin."
`At a given signal by the Provost-Mar
shal, the executioners, who- had been
drawn up at a distance of six paces from
the condemned, made ready to fire, and at
a similar indication.,B of them • discharged
their carbines. Johnson clasped his halide
over his breast, and hurriedly exclaimed
several words which were
tinet by his groans. Some of tue balls had
taken effect, but none-were iikel. to. Prove
fatal, and, after an examin.ition e. the
prisoner the Provost -Nl* ord-red
a reserve of four men .tu. fire. The re
