one of those to whom the treasure had been

to have taken that which; la armed man most
p.incd from beneath the pillow on which he
sluuibcrod, he must also have been athletic,
to place sufficient confidence in himself in cae
of discovery. I further reasoned that he
must be of the higher crder, to know that a
few shining stones -were of immense value,
and to have been permitted to view them by
Achmet Ib'y. Next, to the question, "How
did he enter';'' I argued after this manner:

made the counterfeit of a leap, to further that
impression; crjo, be must have been a cun

I now returned in fancy to my scrutiny of
the room; all w.is examined except the ceiling
and it was next to impossible that he had en
tered from the wali.s, flno;- or v. indw be
must have come from the roof. Put one oth
er sugge.-tion presented itself, and that I at
once dismissed. It was this: could he have
hi eii bidden in the room'.' There was co
place for concealment, except behind the ta
pestry, and this, as prcviou.-ly stated, was so
closely couueeted with the Avail, as to make
the hiding of a man impossible.
1 now summed up the result of these few
words: The box was stolen by a cunning
fellow; be entered by the roof, and probably
departed by the same way; the thief must be
of the higher rank. After which conclusions
I dismissed all other thoughts from my mind
and slept.
The next morning I examined the rocf by
means of a pole, and soon fouu 1 a board that
yielded to my pressure. I piled one ottoman
upon auolhcr, and with case moved the plank
entirely. On one side of the adjoining plank
I discovered a small piece of blua cashmere,
a mere shred it i-; true, but from i& I learned
two important thinns I was right in my con
jecture that the thief was of high rank, for
the material was costly; ar.d second, that the
man v. hoover he was, was dressed in a blue
lobe. So costly was tho cashmere, that I at
once concluded that he would continue to
wear tho robe, notwithstanding she rent, sol
now had to lock for a man, v. ho were a tore
or mended robe, I drew myself rp into the
loft, where I found a piece of palm rope made
fast to the rafter above, long cnougn to have
materially aided egress, and I availed myself
of it to descend again to the ppartmcnt.
I now went around the building once more
and satisfied myself that the palm tree was
the means cf attaining the roof. Put from
its size, it must have been a man ef extraor
dinary frame who could grasp it. Pcneatii
it were foot prints, but whether of the thief
cr not, it was immaterial to me. My chain
of evidence was thus far complete. My best

this he produced and gave into my possession.
He asked if there was anything else I desired.
"All I now want," I replied, "is a full
suit of Turkish clothes so that I may pass as
one of your relatives from Stamboul, and then
I can almost insure your success."
He furnished me with what I desired, and
I was soon arrayed in the rich garb of a mer
chant prince. One remark, however, which
he made while I wa3 disguising my suspi

and only took greater care to keep on my
person; a3 well as the two silver mounted
flint locks, (which by tho way, oftencr far do
not go off, than prove availing,) that he gave
me to complete my disguise. Thus attired, and
crmcd v.ith pistols, pass and key, I wcut to
the rude blacksmith of the place, feeling sure
the thief would employ his assistance in open
ing the casket, and asked him if he could
make me a key like the one I at the same
time presented to hiin.
" What will you take for tltis, which I
now hold," was the brief reply.

I succeeded, however, in qvh ting their

showed my pass an old deed would have
done as' well, for i knew they could neither

together, looked at me, and then at the pre

the box. Accordingly they withdrew it from
its concealment beneath the ottoman on which
they sat, and gave it to me. I took it quiet
ly, and appeared in no hurry to leave, (and
uvtell the truth I was not for such divine
beauty I bad never Witnessed before, and
fear I never shall again,) sipped a glass of
Sherbet, gave them the order to shew their

and placed my priz, unknown to any one,
securely in my apartment. Towards evening
I packed m European clothes, and then look
them to a thicket outride the town, to the
south I then returned, opened the box,
selected my third ef the jewels, and taen re
placed it under the ottoman.
The next morning at daybreak I took the

the -addle-bow, and left the horse m charge
of a boy, giving him directions to await my
return. 1 then walked home. After cur
morning meal I told Achmr-t that I had every

to see that my host had not bis j istcls with
him, as I feared he would regict the loss of
so large a portion of his jewels when again
within his grasp. We conversed pleasantly
until we reached the the thicket, where I
mounted my horse, talking rapidly ail the
while, and threw the boy a pinstcr.
' And now, mine best," said I, " Allah be

"Have I not this robe, IhLs horse, and

"Put were you not to h-avc onc-forth of
the jewel ?" said Achmet.
" You told me cnc-tJinrJ at first." I re

but an eighth, or perhaps none, if left to
your bounty. I have helped myself to a full

saw Achmet feci aet vously lor his trusiy pis

to make sure of the remnant of the jewels.
The only excuse I could ever frame for Ab

those for whom he evidently designed the
treasure.

From the Lancaster Intelligencer-
TOO YcTZEg!"
TLis is the cry of several cf the Opposition
journals against William A Porter, the Dem
ocratic candidate for Judge of tho Supreme
Court
When the cider Pitt, at the ago of 25. be
came Prime Minister of England and Lo
i nroved to be a head and Moulders taller io in
tellect aud power than any of his cote-mpora-ries
was accused, to use his own language,
of "tLo atrocious crime of being a youug
man," he contented himself with wi&hing that
he "might be one of those whose follies may
cease with their youth, an! not one of those
who are ignorant ia spite of experience."
Mr, Pitt only uitcrcd the sentiment of all sen
sible men that neither age nor youth in it
self makes fitness or unfitness for station, but
the only
more ven-
tanccs innu
merable occur in the history of our own an!
other countries, in ancient and modern times,
where youth showed itself infinitely superior
to old age. Alexander the Great had con
quered the then known world before he was
oO years of age. Napoleon defeated the ar
mies cf Austria, commanded by her most dis
tinguished and veteran Generals, at the ago
of 27. Washington was was appointed to the
chief command of the Ilevolutionary army at
PJ. Hamilton was Secretary of the Treas
ury when but little par.t 30. Henry Clay waj
elected to the U. S. Senate at the age of 20.
The late Chief Justice Gibson, cf this State,
was appointed to the Supremo Pench when
not more than SO. William Pihr was elec
ted Governor at 38. Judge Knox was on
the Supreme Bench at 35. SummcrGel! was
the lucst eloquent and impressive pulpit ora
tor at the age of 24. And so we might go
on and enumerate, ad infinitum, the names
of distinguished soldiers, statesmen, divines,
etc., all of whom made their mark on the
country aud the world's history long beforo
they had reached the ineradian of life. We
admit that many men do coc reach their full
powers of intellect and experience until they
are sixty cr upwards but, on the- other hand,
many are older in these respects at oO thuU
their cotemporaries at 00.
Judge Pertcr, the Democratic candidate,
is o7 years of age, at least seven years older
than the late distinguished Judge Gibson
when he went upon the Pench. It is admitted
on all hands, by political fiieuds and oppo
nents, that he is a man of superior intellectu
al powers and of great legal learning an! abil
ity. Such is the judgment of those who bad
business before the Supreme Court since Le
has been a member of it. Kind and amiable
ia bis deportment to the members of tho Bar,
and of high moral character, he is, iu all res
pects, a model Judge, and, with a few years
experience, would taka rank with any of tho
able Jurists who have preceded him at the
bead of that Court. That he will be elcte!
is, we think, beyond doubt.

Ths Home Mother.
Some one writing for the Misouic Jdtrror,
has drawn a picture of a hcmo-loviag, child
loving mother :
Y'c must draw a broad lino between her
and the frivolous butteilly of fashion, who
flirts from bait to opera and party, decked in
rich robes, and followed by. a train as heart
less as herself she who, forgetful cf the task
assigned her, neglects thoso who have been
given to her charge, and leaves them to the
care of hirelings, wbiic the pursues her giddy
round of amusement. Not so with our home
mother, blessings be upon her head. The
heart warms to see her daily routine of pleas
ant duties.
How pleasantly she tits day after da-,
shaping aud sewing some little article for use
aud adornment for her Jittle flock I And how
proud and pleased is each little recipient of
her kindness. How the little faces dimple
with pleasure, and the bright eyes glow still
brighter, as mamma decks them with her
own hands, iu the new dress she has made !
How much warmer and more comfortable
they feel if niaiima wraps th;m up before
they go to schcrrd ! No one but she can
warm the niits aud overshoes, or the comfort
cis around their necks.
There is a peculiar charm about all she
does, the precious mother. " They could not
sleep cay, for that matter, she could not
if she failed to visit their chamber, and with
bet own soft hands arrange them comforta
bly before they slept. Her heart thrills with
gratitude to her Creator as she looks ou those
sweet, blooming faces, and when their pray
ers are done, imprints a good night kiss on
each rosy mouth. It may be, too, a tear will
start for the little nestling bird, in its chill,
narrow bed, for whom her maternal care is no
longer needed. It sleeps, though the sleet
aud snow descend and tho will winter howls
around its head. It needs no longer her ten
der car. A mightier arm enfolds it ! It is
at rest. She feels and knows that it is right
and bends meekly to the baud that sped the
shaft, and turns with a warmer love, if it be
possible, to those little ones who are left to
love, ilow tenderly the guards them from
danger, and with what a strong, untiring
love she watches by their bedside wheu they
are ill.
Blessing? on the gcutle, home-loving mother.
ADgels will look with love upon her acts.
Her children will rise up and call her blessed,
aud the memory cf her kindly deeds will en
fold her as a garment.

After twenty years of uninterrupted pros
perity, the ceuutay finds itself in the midst of
one of those business revulsions which are
the inevitable consequences of extended trade
and commerce, with which human laws are
inadequate to prerent Tho enemies of the
Democratic party, ever on the alert for po
litical capital, are now proceeding to press
this new clement into their service: Put
will the country tru-t these restless and un
principled Schemers? Who stood higher ia
the old Whig party as- the advocate of a pro
tective tariff, than Ashman cf Mass , cud
Vinton ef Ohio ? And yet, only two years
ago, these men, in conjunction with other
leading men of the protective policy, organi
zed themselves into a regular lobby essoeia
tion at Yvashiugton, with the avowed object
of admitting iron (the loudest interest for a
high tariff) duty free ! They sent circulars
to all the mammoth railroad corporations, of
fering their services to lobby for low duties or
no duties, for a stipulated hire. Look at the
revelations of the late tariff investigating
committee, and you will find the great Thur
low Weed receiving a $5000 fee fer laboring
in the cause of free traie, against one of the
great agricultural interests of tho East an!
