A atntfly knig drew near, This nnrrow pnas to trend, Around him hung a gorgeoua robe, And a crown wai on hit head ; But Death, with a look of withering worn, A r rented him and Raid, "lit humble dress must the king draw near, For the crown and the purple ore useless here." Next came n mnn of wen'th, And his eye was proud and bolti, And he Iwre fn his hand a lengthy scroll, Telling nf sums untold: D it Death, who careth not fat rank, On re Hi as little for gold "Here that scmll I cannot allow, For tho gold of the richest is powerless iww.M Anotner fillnwed fast, And a bvk was in his hmid, Fillwl with the finches of burning thought Tluit arc known in many a land ; But the child of genius f)nai!cd to hear Death's pitilrss dtmnntl "Hers that book cannot enter with thee, For the bright flaah of genius is nothing to me " Next rnme n maiden fnir, With that eye so deeply bright, That Ptirs within yon sfrnnge, sweet care, Phnuld you meet on a summer night: Hut T)c:ith. ec the gentle maid passed through, Pnutclicd away its 1 i 1 1 'I.enuty is power in the world," he tinth, "Hut What can it do in the Pass of Death ?"

"Is fho dead, then ?" "Ycr, niaduin," replied a lirtle gcDtlemnn in brown coat and short breeches. "And her will?" "Is goinj; to be opened Lore immediately by her solicitor." "Hhall we inherit anything?" "It must he (supposed so ; we lmvc claims." "Who is that miserably dressed personage who intrudes herself hero ?" "Oh, she," said the little man, sneerinp "she won't Lava much in the will ; sho is sis ter to the deceased." "What, that Anne, who wedded iu 1812 a man of nothing an officer 1" " Precisely so." "She must have no small nmount of ,'fJif n denee to present herself here ; before a re spect uhle family." ! ' l l.i) more so, as bisier r.gerie, or noble birth, had never forgiven her that mesulli- unce." j Anno moved at this time ncross the room in which the family of tho deceased were as sembled. Sho was pale, her Dno eyps wero filled with tears, and Lor face was furrowed by care with precocious wrinkles. "W hat do you come here for ?" said, with great haughtiness, Madame de Villeboys, t he lady who, a moment before, had been in terrogating '.he littlo maa who iuhetittd with her. "Madam," the poor ludy replied, with hu mility, "I do not come here to claim a part of what does not belong to me ; I come solely to seo M. Illinois, my poor sitter's solicitor, to inquire if tho spoke of me iu her lust hours." "What! do yon think peoplo bnsy them selves about you?" arrogantly observed Mud rim du Villeboys j "the disgruco of a great house yon, who wedded a uian of nothing, a soldier of lionnparle's 1" "Madam, my husband, nlthongh o child or the people, was a brave soldier, and, what is better, an honest man," observed Anne. At thi3 moment a venerable personage, the notary llubois, made his appearance. "Cease," ho said, "to reproach Anne with a uuion which her sister has forgiven her. Ar.ne loved a generous, brave, and good man, who had no other crime to reproach himself with than his poverty and the obscurity of his name. Nevertheless, had he lived, if his family had known him as I knew him, I, his oldjlrieud, Anne would be at this timo happy and respected." "Hut why is this woman here ?" "Hecause it is her place to be here," said the notary, gravely ; "1 myself requested ber to attend here." M. Dubois then proceeded to open the will : "I. being sound in mind and hoart, Kgeria du Dameuing, retired as a boarder in the Convent of the Sisters of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, dictate the following wishes as the expression of my formal desire aud principal clause of toy testament : "Alter my docensn there will be found two hundred thousand francs in money at my notary's, besides jewelry, clothes, and furni ture, as also a chateau worth two bnndred thousand francs. "In the convent where I have been residing there will only be found my book, "Jleures de la Vierge," holy volume, which remains as it was when I took it with mo at the time of the emigration. 1 desire that three ob jects be divided into three lots. "luetirst lot, the two hundred thousand francs in money. "1 he second lot, the chateau, furniture and jewels'. "ine third lot, my book, "Jlenres de la Vierge." "1 have pardoned my sister Anne the crief which she has caused to us, and 1 would have comforted her in ber sorrows if 1 had kaowri sooner of ber return to 1 ranee. I comprise Iter in my will. "Madame de illeboys, bit much beloved cousin, Bhall have the first choice. "M. atry, my brother-in-law, shall lave the'second choice. "Anne will take the remaining lot." "Ab 1 ah 1" said Vatry, "Sister Kgerie was a good one; that is rather clever on ber ptrt;" Anne will only have the prayer-book 1" exclaimed Madame de Villeboys, laughing aloud. The notary interrupted ber jocularly. "Madame," bo said, "which lot do you choose?" , "The two hundred thousand francs in ; money." . ... "flave you quite made op your mind I" "Perfectly so." The man of law, addressing himself then to the good feeling of the lady, said, "Madame, you are rich, and Anne has nothing. - Could yon not leave her this lot, and take the book or prayers, which the eccentricity of the do ceased lias placed on a par with' tho other lots." . : ' "You mast be joking, M. Dubois 1" ex clamed Madame do A' illeboys j " you must really be very dull not to see the intention of Sister Kgetie in nil this. Our honored cousin foresaw full well that her book of prayers would fall to the lot of Anne, who had the last choice," "And what do you concludo from that?" inquired the notary, "I conclude that she means to intimate to her sister that repentance ond prayer wero the only help that she bad to expect in this world." As she finished theso words Madame do Villeboys made a definite selection of tho ready money for her share. Mousicur Vatry, as may bo easily imagined, selected the cha teau, furniture and jewels, ns a lot. "Monsieur Vatry," said M. Dubois to that gentleman, "even suppose it had been the intention of the deceased to punish her sister, it would be noble on your part, millionaire us you are, to give tip nt least n portion of your share to Anne, nho wants it so much." "Thanks for your kind advice, dear sir," re plied Vatry; "tho mansion is situated on the very conlineH of my woods, and suits mu ad mirably, all tho more so thnt it is ready fur nished. As to tho jewels of Sister Kgerie, they aro reminiscences which one ought never to partwitii." "Since it is so," said the notary, "my poor Madame Anno, "hero is the prayer-book that remuius to you." Anne, attended by hereon, a handsome boy with blue eyes, took her sister's old pray er book, and muking her son kiss it after her, bhe said : "Hector, kiss this book which belonged to your pooor nunt, who is dead, but who would have loved you well had sho known you. . When you have learned to read you will pray to lleaveu to make you wise und good as your lutlier was, aud bappier than your unfor tunate mother." The eyes of thoso who were present were filled with lours, notwithstanding their efforts to preserve no appearance of indifference. The child embraced the old book with boy ish fervor and opiuing it afterward: "Oh ! mamma," ho said, "what pretty pic tures !' "Indeed !" said tho mother, happy in the gladness of her boy." "Yes. Tho good Virgin, in a red dress, holding tho infant Jesus iu her urms. Hut why, niaminn. has siik paper been put upon tho pictures ?" "Ut) that they might not bo injured, my dear." "llut, mamma, why are there ten silk pn pcrs to each engraving ?" The mother looked, uud uttering a sudden shriek, she fell into the urms of M. Duboif, tho notary, who, adJiessing thoso present, suid : "Leave ber nlono ; it won't be much j peo- filo don't die of theso shocks. As forycu, ittlo one," addressing Hector, "give mo that prayer-book : you will tear the engravings." Tho inheritors withdrew, making various conjectures us to tho causa of Anne's sudden illness, end tho iutercst which tho notary took in her. A month afterward they met Anne aud her son, exceedingly well, yet not extravagantly dressed, tukiog en uiring in a two-horse chariot. This led them to make inquiries, and they learned that Mudume An ne had recently purchased a hotel for ono hundred and eighty thousuud francs, and was giving a first rate education to her eon. The news came like n thunderbolt upon them. Madame du Villeboys and M. do Vatry has tened to call upon the notary to abk lor ex planations. The good Dubois was working at his desk. 'Perhnps we are disturbing you ?' said the arrogant old lad. "No matter. I was in the net of settling a purchase in the statu funds lor Maiiame Anne. "What !' e::cluimed Vatry, "after purchas ing house and equipages, bhu has still niouey to invest ?" "L" udoubtedly so." "I!ut where did tho money come from?'' "What! did you not see?" "Whru?" "When she shrieked upon seeing what tho prayer-book contained which .lie inherited." "We observed nothing." "Oh! I thought thut you saw it," said tho sarcastic notary. "Thut prayer-book contain ed sixty engravings, and each engraving was covered by ten notes of u thousand franca each." "Uood Heavens !'' exclaimed Vatry, thun derstruck. If 1 had only inown it!" ehontcd Madumo do Villeboys. "You had your choice," added the notary, "aud I myself urgud you to take the prayer book, but yon relused'" "Hut who could hare expected to find a fortune in a breviary." The two baffled old egotie'ta withdrew, their hearts swollen with passionate envy. Madame Antiio is 6till iu Paris. If you pass by tho Hue l.afitte on a fine summer evening, you will see a charming picture, on the first floor, illuminated by the palo reflec tion of wax lights. A lady who has joined the two bands of her son, a fair child of six years of ngu, in prayer before an old book of "Heures do U Vierge," aud for which a coso iu gold bas been made. "Pray for me, child," said the mother. "And for who else ?" inquired the child. "For your father, your dear father, who perished without knowing you, without being able to love you." "Must I pray to the suint, my patron ?" "Yes, my little friend ; but do not forcet a saint who watches ns from heaven, and who smiles upon us from above the clouds." " bat is the name of thut saiut. mamma dear?" The mother, then watering the fuir cLilJ's head with ber tears, answered : "Her name u Sister r.gerie." Ciiii.o Kiixkd at a Doctor's Mistakk. A child two years old sick with the scarlet fever, at 201 Seveuth avenue, New Yoik, was attended by Dr. II.

Thy loveliness nf every lundscape is broken by tho most hideous public misery. The "climate is line, for the nir is fresh nud soft ! the temperature generally moderate. It is bad, because it is both colt) and wet, foggy and rainy. Af The Turk proverbially loves his ease ; yet he lives in the most inconvenient manner. He smokes his rhibouq.ie or nnririlly on sofus without bucks ; ho uses his knees lor a writing-desk, nnd the floor for a dinner-table. He is fund of visiting his friends in state, but hns no curriugu j his streets tire neither named nor numbered. Turks aro both clenn and dirty. They ero always dabbling with water, but they ent with their hands ; they heap intolerable gnibage biTora their doors, leave dogs to do the ollico of scavengers, and nllow dead carcasses to putrify beneath the windows of their palaces. They nre both quick aud slow in business, for they have few formalities : yet they have always got a score of opposing interests in everything. They neglect the in us I important olluirs ill endeav oring to satisfy every body on some ocension, and jump at cuncliiMotis with simplicity and good faith almost ufi'ecting, upon others. Tho Turk's wives ore niuflled up that they cannot see where they are walking ; nnd they roll iiboiit like barrels, from tho length of ineir dresses and the largeness of their shoes. He veil and itnpiisons i yet allows tin tn to go whine they pleaso unaccompanied. Turks ore never seen in public with their wives. On tho other band they nppe.ir to consider ladies ns Nature's choicest handiwork; for they con imagine no present More grateful to the Sultan, tm tho great festivul of the 1'airnni, than a young maiden. On the other hand, they deny women any place or influence in society; anil while th.-y refuse them a soul, innst tl;:it they shall bo transported bodily tu paradise. Iu Tui key n gill Seldom brings a pvrtiou to her husband; but the husband pays a stun (if money to her patents Turkish women aro lively, gossipping, rest less; tho men arc calm, taciturn, and npa t In. tie. A Tnik considers it shnmeful to look at a lady passing him. He never suffers tho name rf a ile to pass his lips, and would coiir iilir it an insult if you asked after her health. Yet he is a polygamiet, and has children by his laves. The Ottoman is compassionate and cruc.1. He will leave a legacy to u horse, and support an unity of beggarj; but ho would roast a Cliiisliiui with n great Zest, ajid bastinadoes his tduves without a qualm, ilo is nt once splendid and moan. Ut-tentatious iu servants, horses, pipe-Mick, nnd bouses ; but his ser vants are ill dressed, his horses aro worthless, his houses r.re kept iu such Lad repair that the rain rTten conies into his drawing-room, uiu! pigeons build in the hall or an lienco of his F'lltaus. Ho alv.ayf. reminds strangers of tho ilei 'uri.tn noblemen, who hnve but one spur. Nothing about him complete. A saddle of cloth of gold will be gil t about his steed with nn old tope ; and while the mouth piece nf his pipe may bo w orth five hundred pound, the bor.l ia not wonh a ha Tpeuiiy. Ho is a democrat, tho'.igh he lives under a government nominally despotic. He is a democrat b cause he can hardly understand any real differ, neo of ranks in a country where u whim of the prince has often nindo n minister of n colVet-boy or a water-carrier. I .mom g:verumetit.f ere supposed to txamino ; affairs wiih sonn? view to '.heir settlement; jut the IVtte? liny nro tis'.iiiliy investigated j with a'vieiv of avoiding it. In other countries I proniuliuri is slow, uud business is managed I comparatively quickly. Iu Turkey business I is conducted slowly, aud ptomoliou granted ; quickly. Klsewhere, thanks are usu illy re turned lor a present f in Turkey it is custom I cry to thank the receiver. A gmst invited i to dinner is u!so thanked for coming, j la Taikcy superiors, salute inferiors; else I where the rcverce is the fashion. In Kurope we uncover our heads as a mark of respect ; j in Turkey peopln take off the ir shoes to show i defLreiifn. A Turk is brief of speech, nod seldom exaggerates ; but he is amused by : intermediati: stories, and the most improbable . lira Us ol lUiagiiiatiim. lie supers evils Willi- I out complaint ; because he says they are wiitten in thy book of fate, and he considers j them as pail of the genuine cf divine Provi- I uYucp. He lias a great contempt for ances try, und concedes to tho descendant of Ma homet no other advantage iu iil'u than a green turban, lie has even a stinging proverb always ready for those who claim merit on account of their forefathers ; uud tells them that they nre like the dogs who prowl about tombs nr. J live upon old bones. ' I wonder how a gentleman of their opiuions would get on ut a fashionable evening parly in Mam moth Street West (number 1 A,) Drobding uajr Square. A icul Tnik cares lit'.lo fer politics; mcFt of the persons mixed up in public affairs in hi3 country being Uieelis or ol Greek descent. Ho is bravo uud sensitive ; but he never dreams of a duel, nor have the French been oblu to inoculate him with their entertaining ideas on the eubj. ct. 1 can rccnll tio single in.-lat.co of a l ink who bus committed sui cide. He will tell yon. indeed, that the hour of his death is written, and that he can neither hasten nor retard it. Persons who are fond of theories usually recoil with in stinctive prudence from all practical tests, und it never occurs to a theoretical Turk to try tho soundness of his dnctrine with it ra:;or or a pocki t-pisti 1. The conduct of tho Turks in this respect may be therefore held up ns a model for polite imitation. The police or Constantinople Lave much more to do with thu Christians of Peru nnd Oalata than with tho M.us::elir.uus of the whole ud joiuing city. Murder, or robbery is rare in the Turkish quarter; tlsewhere it is tf daily occurrence. Indeed, the Turks aro a great deal better than tho institutions under which they have hitherto lived ; and they ore accus tomed to say, with no less truth than good humor, "Wo like our government best when it neglects us most." 1 once asked n Turkish gentleman with whom i had tho good fortune to bo ou terms of great inlimary, whether he did not admit that Mohammedanism was iu itself opposed to what tho Western Franks are pleased to call progress? His reply w us just aud spirited. Ho referred me nt once to the splendid story of the Spanish Arabs, uud enlarged with much dignity and good sense on the notoiious fact thut they were for some centuries per haps the most learned and enlightened people in the world. The F.gyptiaus ond Syrians ulso, he added, not to nientiou the Persians, had at severul periods of their history made notab'e advancement iu tcieuce ; but their government bad been unfavorable, and they had necessarily retrograded. A Tuik can hardly Fpeak lung without saying something quuint and seutootiona j so that 1 was not surprised when my friend, looking demurely at me, concluded thus : ' hiuce, aleo, the Christiana ate often avaricious, selfish, luteru perale, iod unjust qualities which, 1 am informed, are much condemned by your Sacred Writings do you Dot thiuk it possi ble tbat a Mohammedan of our ag might tako example from them, nnd breakthrough those prebepts of the Koran which might linvn been misinterpreted to connsel us an eternity of ignorant" ?'' , I bowed my head nt the ingenious reproof, ond sought refupo in the cloud of smoke which our pipes charitably emitted. A Literary Thief. Dr. C. II. Roberts, nf Poughke rpsif, vhUf?. New Voik a few days ago, nnd sprpt an evening nt the Acadamy of Music. While there he had his pocket picked of a wallet containing forty or fifty dollars in bnnl; biils nnd some papers. After returning home lv received from the pickpocket Ine inllowing letter, which he banded over to the Pougtikt-rpsic Eagle for publication : Ni.w Your, Jan. 5, 1 8.18, Dr. Chas H. Roberts Dear Sir. I had the pleasure of relieving you of your pocket book on tap evening of the. 2l, in a crowd at the Academy of Music. I presume you on became aware ut your iltspoascsMon, and have perhaps, had mine anxiety as to (ho application of the funds it contained. You have inv assurance that they have fallen Into appreciative bands, nnd Hint every cent will lie applied in gralnymg Ihe laMcs nuil laucies ol a lellow trliig whose aiiilu tion soars l.iqln r than his calling. You need not (latter yourself with the idea that vo'i have my nruiiniuiai re, because I favor you wiih mv correspondence ; do Doctor, divest yourbclf of Hint niiiWtmn. I wrilo you in arenrdance with tho law of honor among thieves, end lo do vou the justice of returning to you the two endured pieces ' of paper, winch are ol value lo you and woilhless to mc one lung a note Taxable to vonr order. and the olhera formula for making teeth ; neilhrr ol winch can ever ho available lo me, as mi present employment probably p,i better, ard is s business more pleasing tii my tastes. From the date if ihe note I renclinled that you had been in town several days, which may account ci ine iigniness ot yoc.r purse N ow, declor, a proper refpert for gentlemen cf my calling, should never allow your purse lo beanine so low : it is hardly up to thu average of iibiial collections. '1 hen, 1 have rcas"!i lo pnite-t against gentlemen ol your standing carry ing mciiiierit money. It is under serious consideration to return to you the 85 on Moiris County Uank, N. J., which I find at considerable di-cuunt; Ihe six lives on the Pouglikcep.-.ie banks go current nnd the few smaller bills can be easily dipo:ed of by per son of my habits. From tho name and recit e which I found in the pocket bonk, I concluded that you bio the well know n dentit who long since did ine much service in your line of busi ness, w bile pursuing my avocation in I'oui'.h- kcep-ie. Plow, Doctor, don t con-idcr it New York hospitality to extract nurses in return for extract ing teeth, but reincmtxr that all have to do something fjr a living. You wero following your avocation on me, and I was only doing the s.imo on you whrn you visitej our ci'.y and mis case aiiorus a lair example CI tho compara tive points of our business. You spent much time arid received a small fee, mine win an opera tion ol a moment. When I consider this dif ference and the gen'le inani.er with which you attended to ine, I am quit inclined to return your purse ond contents, but that would he un prolcE.-hmiil, and beside, wsuld involve a lois of time on my part, for such crow Js do not occur every day, even iu Ne-.v York ; but be assured that had 1 recogurcd you I would have spent the time appropriated to you upon some oilier person. The only reason I enn nscriho for not remembering you is, that I nrv-r saw you but once before, nnd I pnxums that whrn you come to the city you dress up in your best, and look very dill'erent than when attending to your busi ness nt some. This litlle lesson limy be of ser vice to you, and b nrn you that pocket hooks are not sale in crowds, and if you arc ever caught in one again, let your vigilance bo directed to your purse in proportion to its uiuiensijiis.

Somo thirty females, relatives and menials, surrounded her. She professes iho utmost horror of the third cavalry, to whom slio traces nil her misfortunes, fcihe says the King was helpless to control iheirt, and that, when their arrival had placid Delhi in re bellion cgninst ns, they were as ready to rob her as any one else. She says the mutineers did rob the palace, end thut nil her jewels were only saved by being buried. Sho docs not seeiii to blame us for their present capti vity ; sho understands tho necessity for in quiring into guilty or innocent parlies, but she did uot seem to assert thu King's inno cence us much us h 'r own. She said ho hud becu in the binds of bad people. There appeared to bo frightful rivalries oinon.'r the women ; It is said sho criminated thu sons of the former wives, she being tho last. Her sister is represented as much belter looking than herself, nnd has a daughter of thirteen murrii d to the King's youngeH son, already mentioned, nnd reputed very beautiful. Our ladic describe lo r us having superb large eyes, and a most biut.tifi.l lulu tneulh, but hi-r face otherwise too Hat uud full. Somo of the women told them they had Knglish wo men and children iu the palace after the massacre, in hopo of irescrvi-ig thein, but that the uiul.meis t'emnuded them, and cuold not bo resisted. They fy the sepoys coin) Lulled that tho King was tecdiug F.rg lish women daintily, while he only gave them gram fcr food. Heaven knows if tho royal family bo cleuu iu heurt end baud or not. I say uothing Kcutimental about them, but I pity them. Thuir religion is quite enough to excito our pity; ond if they have been uholtora of uiui Jers.tbey ought to be pitied for their sins. Iftbey are, us they say, inno cent or any shure in tho rebellion, tin y ure victims indeed. 1 trust oil examinations may be judiciously and fiirly conducted.

A good deal of it is littlo peevishness. What kind of matters do they trouble him with? Why. or.o woman runs and says, Hrothcr Brigliaui, my old hen has laid an egg and I heard that if 1 set it on one end it Would be n hen, and if on the other end, a rooster end 1 want a rooster.

A 7ain he nays : The husband has to learn to give proper counsel and direction ; he bus to learn how to inanugo i,is wives nud children ; and it tnkes him somo timo to learu how to inunugu wisely, nnd to bjstow comfort npou each member of his fumily. It does not frot'lilo tcn woman to follow out the cour.si 1 of their husbands they will serve them iu faithfulness, th. y w ill honor and respect the power of the priesthood that is upon their litisbandl In this respect they do well and i njoy themselves in doing so, as every woman will; but iir the relationship that exists Li twi-n them tnJ either icins J tha' man, you ure very apt to see u liLtlo ilU cord. It requires mere energy and more strength of purpose in a man lo follow out the coiinsi-l of ono who is just ubovo him, than it does tu fol!vv a man thut is a long way uhead of him. So it is in regard to the wojii.m they ca'i fol low the counsel of their husband nnd do r.s he wishes, much better than they can renard one another, but we should e.0 cur duty, u eel so pleasing to ourselves.
