Who 'would not Kneel In Prayer.
When happiness with lavish hand
Is casting dowers before us—
When lite seems void of care and padre
And sunny skies one o'er us ;
While Loge soul Hope are hoverir.g near
Like angels bright and fair—
Who would not then, in THANKFULNESS,
Who would not kneel in prayer
lA'hen sorrow . hronds with darksome wing
And shadows every joy--
When Friendship's smile ill hollow seems,
And love prnves but alloy ;
When o'er the 'midi of honied hopes
Our hearts lie bleeding there—
winild not in an hour like this,
Who would not kneel in prayer"!
When Death's cold iry hand is laid
In terror on each form,
Who would not seek a shelter then
From every coming storm ?
Who would riot coat one look to heaven,
And plead for mercy there—
Who would riot (hen imploringly,
Who would not kneel in prayer?

It was the aft e mon of a sultry day, and
two females, both lovely, wore seated by
the side of u bath, in the guardian of a

the two had just emerged fdom die wider,

is greater than in other oriental countries,
I and Antra moreover had been brought up
to roam where she pleased in the vicinity
of the palace ; so, it IS no wonder that, in
the end, love triumphed, and she yielded
a tacit assent to :mother meeting. Ni, stud'

ter, but his eyes at parting looked his wish,
and Antra the very next day by accident,
as she tried to persuade herself, turning
her eyes towards the trusting spot, acitom

which continued for several months. Af

months lived in a dream of Paradise. She

happiness there came a rude awakening.—

GETTYSBURG, PA., FRIDAY EVENING, .NOVEMBER 6, 1552.
cd her embrace fondly, and then holding
her at arm's length, gazed proudly on his
fond child.
"Thou art beautiful as over, my rose of
roses." he said, "only thy cheek is paler
than wont :—and too when I looked to
see it so bright, for even a Caliph's (laugh
; ter may be proud of the alliance I bring
Poor Antra, who at these words remetn
here(' all her troubles, burst into tears.
"Weeping,"said the Caliph in surprise,
and with anger in his tones, why" shame
on you girl, this will spoil your eyes ! I
have promised Prince Ilitfiz that he shall
see you directly, and now you look like a
fright. Laillalt-it-allah—this is too bad."
Still the girl wept on, and now more
convulsively, than ever, till at last the
father's heart was touched, and his tono of
anger was changed for one of concern.
"IV hat ails thee, darling ?" ho said,
fondly. "Is it anything thy father, the
Caliph, can do for thee ? Are thy jewels
scant, thy wardrobe wanting, thy slaves
net handsome enough—what is it ?"
This t one of sympathy and affection
went to Antra'; heart, and gave her faint
hopes that the revelation of her story, and
an appeal to her father's generosity might
not prove un.netrssful. Sho looked up,
therefore, through her tears, and said :
"Oh ! father save me from this marriage.
I do not love this strange prince, whom I
have not seen, but another—"
But, when she had proceeded thus far,
the aspect of the Caliph terrified her into Pi-
Teller. II is face grew black with rage, his
eyes shot tir)p, he rudely pushed her front
"What ?" he sail, "dare you tell me
this? Love another ? Where have you
seen any other to love ? By Allah, the
head of every seyvant here shall pay for
this indiscretion." And, as he spoke he

that made it ring, he stalked furiously up
to A tura, who had now sank on the divan,
and eon tinued--hre, shame on your race,
and obey. I shall send,Prinee Ilatiz here,
I bid you receive him as you ought, for
this very night the nuptials shall be vele
bruited. And mark me not. to whisper of
this mad love to him, or by the bones of
my ancestor, the prophet, it shall be the
last ,lay of yohr life."
With thVSI! words the incensed parent
turned and left the apartment, bent on
seeking out and puni,hing the guilty.—
Antra watched hint till the curtain con
cealed him from sight, and then sank hack
en the divan with a shriek. The room
reeled around her the next instaet, af
ter which consciousness deserted her.
When she came to herself, she was re
clining in some person's anus by the side
of the fountain and her face was profusely
wet with water. She opened her eyes.
A well known face—it was that of her
hunter lover—gazed down on her. She
uttered a cry of joy, and made a feeble ef
fort to cling closer to him.
"Save me," she cried, "you can save one,
or you would not be here. Is the prince
gone, or has he not entered ? Haste, or
it will be too late." And she gazed terri
fied toward the door.
"Fear nothing, dear one," said the hun
ter. "I am both your lovertind the prince.
Yes l" he added, as she endeavored to rise,
and gazed at him in wild astonishment, "I
sin Prince Hulls, who chose to woo his
bride before receiving her, because he
wished to be loved for himself and not for
his rank. Forgive the pain my stratagem
has caused you for awhile, for here I swear
by the good Allah, never to give you aux
iety again.•
The reader may well believe the nuptials
were not delayed, and that the princes&
never looked lovelier than on the occasion.
The Caliph forgot hie anger, and forgave
everything, when he heard the hunter and
Prince Ifafiz were one.
To this day the story of the Caliph's
daughter is the favorite lay of the maidens
of Shires; and often, as the evening fulls,
the soft notes of their lutes, and the sober
notes of their voices rehearsing it afloat
through the closed lattices of their harems.
The Antlquillem of America
The New York Dutchman has helm in
formed by Dr. Salsbury, geologist to the
State, that within the past three weeks, a
surveying party, in Essex county, have
stumbled upon the remains of a city, which
must have once contained 15.000 or 20,-
000 inhabitants. It is located in the for
est, a few miles back of Ticonderoga, and
was evidently the home of a city consider
ably advanced in the arts and comforts of
civilization. In proof of this he mentions
that the ruins of more than two kindred
chimneys are yet in a good state of pre
servation. As no such city has over bleen
mentioned by our historians and gnzetters,
the question arises about its original buil
ders, which will keep our Historical So
oiety in first class wrangling matter for
the next fir* years. The idea that such
a city should have existed within four
hours' ride of Albany, for centuries. and
yet 'levier been discoiered until July, 1852,
is one of those singular facts that excite.
astonishment.
He who has left to the world the record
of a noble liki,,ibough be may, have left no
outward memorial, has .left w-•autluring
source of greatness.

these devoted patriots. They had been
rivals—the heads of contending, excited
parties. Each in his turn had been pre

They themselves had partaken of the bit

when their pilitical campaigns were over,
and they had retired, the one to his Mon
ticello, and till oilier to his Montexillo, and
were passing quietly down the vale of
years, these Winer foes turned to each
other with mutual esteem a n d mutual af

listened with interest. "Come," said
Arthur, should like to know what they

They homed out ; and little Bessie
watched them through the gate and up the
hill, as long as she could see their red tip
pets. Sour they Chine to the pine grove.
"I don't hear anything," said Herber:.
The wind blew through the branches with
a murmuring sound. "I hear something,"
replied. Arthur, "but it is only, .flow cold

make a journey. by private conveyance,
front Baltimore to Washington. The Man
who drove the wagon Was such an ill-look

tar Mr. Webster was almost frightened out
61 his whs. At last the Wagon stopped
in the midst of a dense wood, when the
man, turning suddenly round to his pas
senger, exclaimed fiercely, "Now, sir. tell
me who you are." Mr. Webster replied
in a faltering voice, and ready to spring
from the vehicle, am Daniel Webster.

"What," rejoined the driver, grasping him
warmly by the hand, "are you Webster.
Thank God I. thank God ! You are such
