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.

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.

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?"

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

"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

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.

To show how worthy, they their trust betray;

breath out of our bodies by tight lacing; she makes
people sit up by night when they ought to be in bed,
and keeps them in bed in the morning,when they
ought to be up and doing. Sho makes it vulgar to
wait on one's self, and genteel to live idle and

GENERAL INTELLIGENCE.
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.
