WHITTir.R, Ibn Balula, the celebrated Musslemnn traveller of the fourteenth century, speaks of a Cyprus tree in Ceylon, universally held sacred by the inhabi tants, the leaves of which were bhuI to fall only at long and uncertain periods; and he who had the happiness to find and eat one of them, was restored at once to youth and vigor. The traveller saw se veral venerable Jogees, or saints, sitting silent and motionless under the tree, patiently awaiting the falling of a leaf. They set in silent watchfulness The sacred cypress tree about, And from the wrinkled brows of Age, Their failing eyes looked out. C?My Age and Sickness wailing (hero, Through weary night and lingering day J Grim as the idols at their side, And motionless as tbey. Unheeded in the boughs above The son); of Ceylon's birds was sweet, Unseen of them, the island flowers ' liloo.nod brightly at their feet. O'er them the tropic night-storm swept, The thunder crashed on rock anil bill; The lightning wrapped them like a shroud, Yet there tbey waited still! What was the world without to them ! The Moslem's sunset call the dnuco Of Ceylon's maids the passing gleam Of battle flag and lance ! They waited for that falling leaf Of which the wandering Jogees sing; Which lends once more to wintry Age The greenness of its Spring. Oh! if these poor and blinded ones In trustful patience wait to feel O'er torpid puUo and failing limb A youthful freshness steal : Shall we who set beneath (hut Tree Whose healing loaves of life are shed, In answer to the breath of prayer, Upon the waiting head : Not to restore our failing forms, Nor build the spirit's broken shrine, Dut, on the fainting sol i, to shed A light of life divine J Shall we grow weary at our watch, And murmur at the long delay ! Impatient of oui Father's time, And His appointed way'l Or shall the -stir nf outward thing Allure and claim the' Christian's eye, When on the heathen watcher's car Their powerless murmurs die ! Alas ! a deeper test of faith Than piison-cell or martyr's stake, The self-abasing watchfulness Of silent piayer may make. Wo gird us bravely to rebnko Our eiring biotheriu the wrong; And in the ear of PiiJc and Power Our warning voice is stiong. Easier to smite with Peter's sword, Than "watch one hour" in humbling pi ay or, Lite s "greater things, like the Syrian lord, Our souls can do and dare. Cut oh ! we shrink from Jordan's side, Prom waters w hieh alone can save ; And murmur for Abaua's bunks, And Pharphar' brighter wave. Oh ! Thou w ho in the garden's shade Didst wsko Thy weary ones again, Who slumbered at that fearful hour, i'orgctful of Thy pain: Bend o'er us now, as over them, And set our tlceji-bourid spirits free, Nor leave us slumbering in the watch Our souls should keep with Thee! ruu Till AMSUICA-T.

Pfteh the Great was so much affect- ed with the death of his son Peter by Catherine I. that he shut himself up at PetersholT, intending to starve himself to death ; and forbid every person, of whatever description, under pain of death, to disturb his retirement. The senate assembled on this desperate re solution of the prince, and Uolgoroulu undertook to drive him lrom it. lie went and knocked at the door of the room where Peter was shut up. 'Who ever you be,' cried the czar with a ter rible voice, 'fly oil, or I will open the door and knock out your brains.' 'Open, I say,' replied Dolgorouki in a firm tone, 'it is a deputy from the senate come to ask you whom you wish to have named as emperor in your room, since you have resigned.' Peter, struck with coragcous zeal of Dolgorouki, o pened, embraced this faithful courtier, yielded to his councils, and resumed tlic reins ot govcrnmcnt.--CJianlrcau s 1 ra vels in llussia.

There is a singular ami affecting trait in tho character of tho butlalo, when a calf; and my feelings have sc vercly lelt it. V hencver a cow bulla lo falls before the murdering lead of the hunters, and happens to have a calf, the helpless young one, far from atlemnlm to escape, sti-ys by its fallen dam, with signs expressive ot strong and natura all'ection. The dam thus secured, the hunter makes no attempt on the calf (knowing it to bo unnecessary,) but proceeds to cut up tho carcase : then laying it on his horse, ho returns to ward home, followed by the poor calf, thus instinctively attending tho remains of its dam. I have seen a single hun ter ride into the town of Cincinnati, be tween the Miamis, followed in thi manner, and, at the same time, by three calves, who had lost their dams by this cruel hunter.

'The impoilatit question is, not that we die, But how we die. The Hospital at New Orleans, during the prevalence of an epidemic, presents a sight beyond the power of descrip tion, and of w hich our Northern friends can form but an imperfect idea. Tho invalids are chiefly strangers, far from lome, kindred and inends. L non their entrance through its massive walls, and into its sombre cells, their names arc recorded upon the books of the institu tion, with the place of birth, time of arrival, &,c, ami their departure from thence as scrupulously noted. The fa tal word dead opposite many of the names meets the eye of the visiter, ami calls up feelings in no wise calculated to render his sojourn there one of mcio ilcasurc or amusement ; it is, in fact, a visit to a charncl house, where death revels in his majesty of strength, and makes the human frame the scene of lis "banquet song," the music of which is The groan, the knell, the pall, the bier." Death becomes familiar amid such scenes, and the heart callous to his pow er; they look upon it as one of the pri vileges of human nature, and as "if life without it were not worth taking." It is indeed here "The -poor, the prisoner, and the moorner Fly for relief, und lay their burden dutrn." The writer of this has frequently ooked over the books of entry, and a- mong the recorded names he has recog nised many who have left their peace ful homes and "ain lire sides to satis fy either a roving disposition, or to a- void man s inhumanity to man, which in northern cities pursues the poor and necessitous even to the prison walls, so as to glut the tender mercies of credi tors with the knowledge of their vie tim's incarceration ; and for what 1 Av, for what?

Peace to his ashes! ' Many a blooming chcclv has faded many a bright eye grown dim and lus treless, many a joyous heart has fallen beneath the I pas breath ol the bend o the South. What a contrast there is between the summer and winter of tho South ! the first, which in all other climes is all sun shine and joy to the young heart, is there all gloom and sorrow ! There winters are the sunshine and spring of tho year. But let us return to the Hospital The reader must imagine to himself a long room, on each side of w Inch, ex .a til tending the whole length, is a range ot single beds ; on each one, (which is fre quently tho case during an epidemic, let him picture a victim lying in all the agony of mental and physical sullering let him also imagine the cllect ot tl disease upon the inmates, which, accor ding to their different constitutions, or the nature of the attack, act in different ways. One in the last gasp of death vomits up the dark particles, formed by mort iication, and which is termed "black Vomit" hist vf nri fivpil cnn. fca gone, his limbs writ hint?. Another 1 rave- -u frcnZy, wild, tho bcJ Clonics to pieces, r(lJ rujin;: olp on to tho floor, dies Cy9 tljC attcuUants can replace, him. Let the reader picture such a scene, and he w ill form a tolerable idea of the lace which words are inadequate to escribe. In no city, however, are the poor more carefully attended, dut ing the severe scource, thati thev are in IS'cw Oi lcans ; but my reader must take into consideration the number misfor tune renders amenable to the cause of death. On one of the beds near the centre of the room lays a sick man in the last sta ges of the disease. The officiating phy sician had just informed him there was no hope death was doing its work. lhc man resigned himselt calmly to his ate. On the bed w hich stood immedi ately opposite to that of the dying man's w as one w ho had just been brought in from his boarding house ; his case was o considered desperate. In a sick room and who has not cx- jcriunccd the agonizing feelings and sulferings of one? there are objects upon which the eve rests in those mo ments when pain permits the reason to roam m its nvenlal wanderings, and ga zes upon some object, calling up as it were the dreams of the past, when icalih und strength went hand in hand with hope, und tho bright sutnlunc of lappv future clcamed beloicus; there is a dreamy luxury in this, which can only be realized by those who have ex perienced this exercise of mind in the moment of danger, and who love lo dwell upon it. 1 he writer oi this, m lS-iv, during the prevalence of as severe an epidemic as ever prevailed in New Orleans', suffered an attack cf yellow fevcv, nnd believes that his life was saved by his strength of mind overcoming the alarm created by the idea of dying among strangers, and of a disease considered by many incurable. The imagination docs more harm in cases of sickness than the dis ease itself. One of those men to whom I particu larly allude, the nature of the disease permitted to indulge in this 'fitful dream' between life and death: mortification had already taken place, and his pains were lulled. The light of life was going out, and the shadowy outline ot the grave was before him. His eyes wan dered around the vast room. At this moment lhc man opposite him turned their eyes met lustreless as they were: dimmed by the waters of oblivion which were rushing from them, to close up the fountain forever. 1 he recognition was mutual a half uttered exclamation of surprise, the outstretched arms, w hich fell again powerless at their side "William, is that you ?" An agonizing groan was the answer. Years had passed away since they last parted, and now where did they meet ? in the house of death ! "Oh, Cod! my brother, is not this awful to meet thus reach your hand, one grasp, one pres sure I I" Uttering this he fell back. Tho other could not speak, he had not yet tutored himself to die ; it had not been told him, that his hours were numbered. The shock was too much for him; he strcched his hand, as it were, mechanically: the other witnes sed tho motion. Desperate even in death, fie raised himself up, and, by a superhuman effort lie rose from his bed, tottered across the room, caught the extended feveri.-h hand of his brother, (for they were brothers,) kissed his qui vering lips, which were now closing forever, attempting to speak, but voice and strength failed, lie turned round for the purpose of regaining his own bed. One look, one step-he laid down, and in a few moments the two brothers were dead ! nnilto at Ion of tUe vU.
