TRUE RICHES AND GLORY. For fortune's prize let others pant, And count the "yellow slave," No joys can gathered jewels grant, No sickening sorrows save— But bustling and jostling To swell the treasured heap, It cloys us, annoys us, And leaves the heart to weep. Let others climb the dizzy height Where glory shines afar, Alas! renown is but the light That decks the falling star. Still driving and striving To reach the radiant prize, We grasp it and clasp it, And in our touch it dies. But, ohl let mine the treasure be, That social joys impart, And mine the glory, sympathy Beams on the feeling heart— Still soothing and smoothing The grief of friends distrest. And lending and spending, That others may be blest. "‘• wii.;;• ! ! i+! 'n, take him at his word: "Po so," returned the monarch; "wini,.. beloved by you,l am indifferent to all others." "So, then, if I asked it," said Semira mis, "you-would banish all your other wives and love me alone? I should be alone your consort, the partaker of your power, and Queen of Assyria?" "Queen of Assyria! Are you not so al ready," said N inns, "since you reign by your beauty over its king?" "No—no," answered his lovely mistress; I am at present only a slaire whom you love. I reign not; I merely charm. When I give an order, you are consulted before I am obeyed." • "And to reign then you think so great a pleasure?" "Yes, to one who has never experienc ed it." "And do you wish then to experience it? —Would you like to reign a few days in my Place?' "Take care, 0, king! do-not- aror tor much." "No, I repeat it," said the captivated monarch. "Would you like, for one whole day, to be sovereign mistress of Assyria? If you would, I consent to it." "And all which I command then, shall be executed?" "Yes, I will resign to you, for one entire day, my power and my golden sceptre." "And when shall this be?" "To-morrow, if you like." "I do," said Semiramis; and let her head fall upon the shoulder of the king, like a beautiful woman asking pardon for some caprice which has been yielded to. The next morning, Semiramis called her woman and commanded them to dress her magnificently. On her head she wore a crown of precious stones, and appeared thus before Ninus. Ninus, enchanted with her beauty, ordered all the officers of the palace to assemble in the state chamber, and his golden sceptre to be brought from the treas ury. He then entered the chamber, lead ing Semiramis by tho hand. All prostrated themselves before the aspect of the king, who conducted Semiramis to the throne, and seated her upon it. Then ordering the whole assembly to rise, he announced to the court that they were to obey, during the whole day, Semiramis as himself. So saying, he took up the golden sceptre, and placing it in the hands of Semiramis— " Queen," said he, "I commit to you the emblem of sovereign authority. All here are your slaves, and 1 myself am nothing more than your servant for the whole of this day. Whoever shall be remiss in exe cuting your orders, let him be punished as if he had disobeyed the commands of the king." Having thus spoken, the king knelt down before Semiramis, who gave him, with a smile, her hand to kiss. The courtiers then passed in succession, each making oath to execute blindly the orders of Semiramis. When the ceremony was finished, the king made her his compliments, and asked her how she had managed to go through with it with so grave and majestical an air. "Whilst they were promising to obey me," said Semiramis, "I was thinking what I should command each of them to do. 1 have but one day of power, and I will em ploy it well." The king - laughed at this reply. Sem iramis appeared more piquante and amible than ever. "Let us see," said he, "how you will continue your part. By what or ders will you begin?" "Let the secretary of the King approach my throne," said Semiramis, with a loud voice. The, secretary approached, two slaves placed a little table before him. - "Write," said Semiramis: "Under penal. ty of death, the governor of the - citadel of Babylon is ordered to yield up the com mand of the citadel to him who shall bear to him this order.'—.Fold this order, seal it with the king's seal, and give it to me. Write now: "Under penalty of death, the governor of slaves of the palace is ordered 27 2.0237 RT WHIT MIDDLETON, EDITOR, 71721ACIZER AND PROPRIETOR.

Fold, seal, and deliver to mo this decree." , • ` She took the three orders thus dictated; and put them in her bosom. The whole court wal struck with consternation; the king himself was surprised. "Listen," said Semiramis. "In two hours hence let all the officers of the state come and offer me presentq, as is the custom on the accession of new princes, and let a festi val be prepared for this evening. Now let all depart. Let my faithful servant Ninus alone remain. I have to consult him upon affairs of state." When all the rest had gone out—" You see," said Semtramts, "thut I know how to play the queen." Ninus laughed. "My beautiful green," said he, "you play your part to astviishment. But if your servant may dare to question you, what would you do with the orders you have dic tated?" should be no longer queen, were pecount of my actions. Ne -1 have a =II him; the emetic:, ~:t. ..t I hate because he threatens me s the third, the general of the army, deprives me too often of your company; you are con stantly in the camp." This reply, in which caprice and flattery were mingled, enchanted Ninus. "Good, ' said he, laughing. "Here are the three first officers of the empire dismissed for very sufficient reasons." The gentlemen of the court now came to present their gifts to the queen. Some gave precious stones, others of a lower rank flowers and fruits, and the slaves having nothing to give, gave nothing but homage. Among these last were three young brothers, who had come from the Caucasus with Sem iramis, and had rescued the caravan in which the women were, from an enormous tiger. When they passed the throne— " And you," said, atm, to the inree Utv Owna igisuala yen. roAfprAsent to make to You queen?" "No other," reedthe first, Zopire, "than my life to defer." "No other," repl second, Artabad, "than my sabre against her enemies." "None other," replied the third, Assar, "than 7 the respect and admiration which her presence inspires." "Slaves," said semiramis, "it is you who have made me the most valuable presents of-the whole court, and I will not be un grateful.—You who have offered me your sword against my enemies, take this order, carry it to the general of the army encamp. ed under the walls of Babylon, give it to him, and see what ho will do for you. You who have offered me your life for my de fence, take this order to the governor of tho citadel, and see what ho will do for you; and you who offer me the respect and ad miration which my presence inspires, take this order, give it to the commandant of the slaves of the palace, and see what will be the result." Never had Semiramis displayed so much gaiety, so much folly, and so much grace, and never was Ninus so captivated. Nor were her charms lessened in his eyes, when a slave not having executed promptly an insignificant order, she commanded his head to be struck off, which was immedi• ately done. Without bestowing a thought on this trivial matter, Ninus continued to converse with Semiramis, till the evening and the fete arrived. When she entered the saloon which had been prepared for the occasion, a slave brought her a plate, in which was the head of the decapitated eunuch—" Tis well," said she, after having examined it. "Place it on a stake in the court of the pal- ace, that all may see it, and be you there on the spot to proclaim to every one, that the man to whom this head belonged lived three hours ago, but that having disobeyed my will his head was separated from his body." The fete was magnificent; a sumptuous banquet was prepared in the gardens, and Semiramis received the homage of all with a grace and majesty perfectly regal; she continually turned to and conversed with Ninus, rendering him the most distinat'uish ed honor. "You are," said she, "a foreign king come to visit me in my palace, I must make your visit agreeable to you." Shortly after the banquet was served, Semiramis confounded and reversed all ranks- Ninus was placed at the bottom of the table. He was the first to laugh at this caprice; and the court, following his example, allowed themselves to be placed, without murmuring, according to the will of tho queen. She seated near herself the three brothers from the Caucasus. "Are my orders executed?" she demand ed of thorn. • "Yes," replied they. The fete was very _gay ! A slave hav ing, by the force of habit, served' the king first, Semiramis, had him beaten with rods. His cries mingled with thiGlaughter of the guests. Every one was inclined to merri- ment. It was a comedy in which each played his part. Towards the end of the repast, when wine had added to the gener- al gaiety, Semiramis rose from her elevated seat, and said—"My lords, the treasurer of the empire has read mo a list of those who this morning have brought me their gifts of *gratulation on my joyful accession to Ono grandee alone of the Ceilifhtti.failod to bring his gifl,4 "Whole it?" cried Ninus. "Ho must be punished severely." "It is you youlself, my lord—you who speak—What have yoU given to the queen this morning?" Ninus rose, and came with a smiling countenance to whisper something in -the , oar of the queen. "The queen is insulted by her servant," exclaimed Semiramis. "I embrace your knees to obtain my pardon. Pardon me, beautiful queen," said he, "pardon me." And ho added, in a lower tone, "I would that this fete were finished." "You wish, then, that 1 should abdicate'? said Semiramis. "But no-1 have stilFtWo hours to reign;" anent the same time:sle withdrew her hand, which the kigg "was severing with kisses. "1 pardon not," said she, in a loud voice, "such an insult mi . the part of a slave. -Slave, prepare thyself to "Silly child that though art," said Ninus, -01 on his knees." yet will I give tray to • • • thy reign will soot. r..::) . iti , At"...! il - . oj, it i . ii)l'.'.t°' !.iii• -1 If —this Ninus." Ninus, smiling, put himself into the iiatt of the slaves. "Take him out of tho saloon, lead him into the court of the seraglio, prepare every thing for his death, and await my orders." The slaves obeyed, and Ninus followed them, laughing, into the court of the seraglio. They passed by the head of the disobeying eunuch. Then Semiramis placed herself on a balcony.—Ninus had suffered his hands to be tied. "Hasten to the fortress, Zopire; you to the camp, Artaban; Assar, do you secure all the gates of the palace." These orders were given in a whisper, and executed immediately. u5t..... , :c-Hy -mean ," said Ninus, laugh weT,,•44 thin comedy , only praxic.-1.3 sand; pray let it be a prompt one." "1 will," Semiramis. "Slaves, recollect the eunuch--strikel" They struck. Ninus had hardly time to utter a cry when his head tell upon the pavement, the smile was still upon his lips. "Now lam Queen of Assyria," exclaim. ed Semiramis; "and perish every one, like the eunuch and like Ninus, who dare disco• bey my orders." VARIETY.

THE EMPIRE STATE.—The Annual Reg. ister, recently published by Mr. Wit. hams, contains much interesting and highly valuable information. With regard to the Empire State, we learn that it contains 116 incorporated villages, and upwards of 1700 post offices. The assessed valuation of the personal and real estate in the several cowl ties of the commonwealth for the year 1834, was $459,672,135. There are 90 banks in the State, with an aggregate capital of 834, 781,460. There are 14 Marine In surance companies in the city of New York, with a capital of 84,550,000, and 29 Fire Insurance companies, with a capital of $lO, 450,000. There are 27 Insurance com panies in the State exclusive of those in the city of New York, with a capital of $4,501, 731. In the State there are 5 colleges— Columbia College, and the University in the city of New York, Union College in Sche nectady, Hamilton College in Ontario coun ty. There are 6 Theological seminaries, 1 in New York, 1 at Auburn, Cayuga coun ty, 1 in Madison county, 1 at Hartwick, Ot- ' sego county, and lat Cazenovin, Madison county. The arrivals at the port of New York from foreign countries, during 1834, were 1,932. During the same year 48,110 passengers arrived at that port from foreign countries. There are 41 whale ships own ed in the State, employingia capital of over 81,000,000, and crews of about 1,000 men. The American Sentinel and other papers continue to affect to believe Mr. Ritner hos. tile to public improvements. On 'what ground they make this charge we are at a loss to know. His votes and speeches intmi. fest the contrary. While in the legislature, he uniformly advocated internal improve. manta--opposing at the same time, all rash and extravagant expenditure of public mo• my. The system he recommended was-, to work prudently—to finish: the main lines as soon possible—so as to get an immediate revenue—then to go on with the branch lines. This judicious system—worthy of a liractical,statesman—was.unfortunately not adopted. The consequence has been; that after several years, and at an immense ex pense, the works are now only beginning to be productive—which they would have been long ago, on Mr. Ritner's spite s")tlr ne:!:b ber of her lovers. 44 Just at present" r,tiplisd the Tuscan air, "I have but one."
