When never n glint of moonlight Gleams from the great black sky, By the red fire's glow, as it smoulders low, We crouch, my letters and I. My letters, they lie where I tossed them, On the crimson hearlhrug there, Still, vivid, and bright, in the ruddy light, As cobras in their lair. I-push the hair from my forehead, That burns and throbs so fast, Thinking tho while, with a strange dull smile, (If the task 1 must do at last. Who knows but I, tho comfort Those foolish letters have been ? The depth anil scope?the strength and liopc Of those "leaves" that arc always "green'?' Who knows but 1, how sadly, To-morrow, 1 and my dream, By the ashes grey will weep and say, "Woe's me for that vanished gleam. "The gleam of idle gladness. The glimmer of memories bright. That hid in each line of those letters of nunc Those letters I lnn-n to-night ;"' Ali well! the dream was a folly; Its joy was an idle thing.

( ou'imut </.] i!c was in (lie right. Tho controversy spread through the ship, until the pilgrims would neither eat nor drink.with each other. Fortunate for the?, if they had been deaf; still more fortunate lor them if they had been dumb. Every man had a different opinion1, and every man disputed in its honor as if it were necessary to his existence. The color of the camel branched into a hundred controver sies, and each made at least :t pair of orators ready to strangle each other. Mustapha, irritated and impatient, at last proposed to the Scribe that they both should go among them ; and explaining the absurdity of their quarreling on points for which no hu man being could bo the better or the worse, recommend them to pass, at least, the remain der of the voyago in peace. "Arc we strong enough," said the Scribe, simply, "to throw one. half of them overboard every .day,.until Diu you and I are left ?" -No," replied the Bey; "but they must" be tired of lighting by this time." "Nonsense is indefatigable." ob served his companion. "But/' said the Bey, <;I shall rebut their nonsense, satisfy their reason and compel the fools to see that nothing but mutual concession can ever produce either general comfort or general safety." "Try," briefly said'the Scribe. Next, morning, when the war of words was at its height, and the deck was covered with knots of enthusiasts, all descanting on their own wisdom, and the folly of the whole human race besides,?Musthplui came forward with bis proposition for lnjiiijj aside .-ill quarrels on creeds during the voyage.

Mnstapba, elated at. the prospect of success, spoke long and eloquently; the man of gcnijts broke out through the habits of the Osmanli, ftild a!! bis audience wcro enraptured. .Shouts of ..;y'-- \'~ til soon began to follow every scntcnet : h ? spoke of the original fraternity of mankind, and was applauded; of the dignity (if truth, the supremacy of conscience, and the purity of reason,?and was applauded still more; he then powerfully described them a. combined in the act of exhibiting to others tho same free dom which we claim for ourselves j and in re membering, among nil the differences of opin ion, that the man who possesses a spirit of good will for Iii? fellow men. holds the master key of nil the virtues. An uproar of admiration fol lowed the speech ; and the whole circle! cried out that neither Stamboul nor Smyrna c?iufl pro duce his equal, lie next proposed that every inanjshould conic forward, and pledge himself to general harmony. A tall Turk iustatnly ad vanced :?"Illustrious Sonnite," ho began his declaration?"Illustrious Sonnite !" cxrlainied a dwnrlish, but richly clothed Persian ; "why, son of a blind father and a deaf mother, who told you that he was a Sonnite't All the genius and virtue of mankind are with the children of Ali." A blow with t ho slipper of I a disciple of Omar told the Persian that his opinion might not be universal. Mustapha saw bis project broken up*at once, and cuuio for ward to restoro pcaco. Put the tide had turned; and be himself was assailed by enqui ries into his faith., "Bo you believe itpfnc holy waters of the Zcnrzcm?" cried one. "If you do not worship the loot of Fo," cried another, "wc only insult our ears iu'listcUiug to you !" "]>o you twist throb hairs i f the ludy eow's tail of the lfedjaz. round y< ur litrhnu ?" screamed another. "Bo yon hclicvo in I'oouh?" was the outcry of a fourth. The clamor grow horrible. "By the print of Adam's slipper!" yelled a gigantic Ceyloneso, "the follow is nothing better than a spy ; and ho deserves to he impaled on the spot ." "By the krecs of my lathers, he is a hcrciic," howled a ferocious Malay; "I would rather drink-his blood than a howl of anack !" All now became clamor and confusion; daggers, knives, seymelars and ataghaus, Hashed round the throat of the un lucky Mustapha. But lie was hold, was mas ter of his weapon, and the sight of t!:e naked poniard in one hand and his scynictnr wheeling round his head in the other, partially repelled the furious crowd. '.Hear me. madmen!" he exclaimed. "Can 1 believe all your erecjls fco gothcr f \ ou boheve none . was tnofroar ; and they pressed closer on .lihii; "1 believe all that reason tolls mc to hclicvo," was the da ring reply; ??but this too, 1 bcliovo, that all j opinions have something in them right y ?

In tho place of the Malay stood the young Scribe, with the dag ger i:; his hand, which he had snatched from the rttffian in tho momenl of fate; and bad dyed in his heart's blood; Mustapha east a look of thanks at bis preserver; and side by side they retreated to the p u p. where the pil grims dared not approach them, lint the lire arms in the cabin were soon in the hands of his assailants, and certain death scorned to await him and his young companion, in this emergency, Mustiiphn prepared to die ; but ill-: Scribe, repeating the famous linos of Amroti, at tho battle of Ternara? -?Tbc eagle lakes nn eagle's (light, The licro ian>! not die in night.'? sprang on tho deck before him : and making a sign of parley, proposed at once thai thoy shoitld leave the ship to the pilgrims, and he set on the lirsl sh >rc they saw. Muslaphu's Id.1 boiled the idea of compromise l>u: iiis preserver was already in the midst of tho infuriated crowd, ami he felt that hesitation might cost that preserver his life, lie com plied, with bitterness of soul. The boal was hoist.cd out. and the two exiles were rowed in the direction of the coast. They soon .-aw the hills above Kcyrotit ; and trod the famous soil of Palestine. "And this comes of preaching pence to pilgrims," said Mustapha. indignantly, as lie looked on the parched and ruined face oi' the country round him. "T.liis is my la.-; ex periment ; may (he.

"But, that such follies and furiei should have, their origin in religion !" retorted the Boy " Look or. that Heaven." .-aid (he yoiinv. Scribe And well might they look on thai Heaven with dclighl and wonder. Ton thou sand stars blazed above their heads, with a pure intensity of light, an essential - lory, lo which Mustapha had never seen I be equal even in the .serene skiei of Asia Minor Tho sky.wa* showered with stars, a shower of diamond. A few faint clouds, slightly tinged with the last hues of evening, lingered on the western hori zon, like the last incense from some mighty al tar. The air was still, and breathing the odor of the sheets of wild jessamines and myrtle which clothed the sides of the mountains; all was richness, solemn splendor, and sacred re pose. The vivid eye of the Hey, made to re joice in all that filled the imagination, roved over the boundless field of the stars of Heaven with a delight,which kept, him silent. "From that sky," said the youth, "which looks one vast palace of holy trauquility. from this fragrant air, which breaths like an offer ing of all the treasures of nature to the Sov ereign of Nature, descend the thunder and the tempest, the boh that strikes tin: mountain pin uaclcs into dust, and the hurricane that swells the sea into destruction. And shall we wunder that religion, bright, holy ami boundless as those skies, should have power, from time to time, to fill the earth with terror, to dazzle the weak, to overwhelm the bewildered, to give an irresistible impulse to all that is bold, imagina tive, untamcablo, and soaring, in the heart of man." '?1'iit what has the dagger, or the pistol, to do with this impulse? yet those sticklers for their contradictory follies would have flung me to the sharks which carried off the doctors' of the black and white camels." The young Scribe smiled, and simply said, "My lord, while nine-tenth- of mankind are fools, why were we to expect that our pilgrim ship contained none but sages. While :ill man kind arc creaf arcs of the passions, why were we to supp so that a crew of enthusiasts alone v. re incapable of being frenzied by scorn. Hut let us p.''! lay tlie blame oh religion. To produce great effects, we must find great pow ers. When universal man is tobe stirred, the evil will be stirred with the good. Hut if the Nile, when it pours down it- Hood of fertility I on the burning <oil of the Delta, brings weeds into life with the harvest; is the fault in the Nile? Or when the mighty orb that has but just finished his course of glory in yonder waves, ris :>> circle the world with light and lifo. aroTwe to extinguish his beams, through fear of the insects which he quickens in the marsh and wilderness?" The young speaker of these words had been roused by the subject into unusual fervor. His pale counten ance had suddenly lighted up, and as he gazed on the firmament, unconscious of all things bit! the glory which had awoke his feelings, the Roy found it impossible to withdraw his eyes from its' animated beauty. The expressive features flushed with new intelligence. The glance, always powerful, seemed to catch, new brilliancy from the splendors above. F.vcu the voice sec tue I to be changed. Always sweet, it w;i now lofty and solemn, yet it touched the spirit of the hc.rcr more than in its softest moments. It was once music to his ear; it was how conviction to hi. soul. Ti.e haughty warrior, the proud phil isopher, the conscious superior of every mind that he had till now encountered, all Lave way ; and flinging him self on the neck of his friend, Must a pit a pledged himself by every light blazing in that sky of serenity never to part from his young sage, his counsellor, the tamer of his follies, and the guide of his existence. The Scribe suddenly disengaged himself from this impetuous instance of friendship, I with one sirugvling hand .-;':!! held in the r:tri? of Mustapha. and the other pressed closely t<> his forehead, turned away in .-ilt ncc. I "Hear me now," said 11 it- impatient Hey "once for all; I abandon all eagerness to interfere in other men's concerns. This voyage, this hour, have given nie wisdom worth a life.

Ho was in the front of a troop of Arab horsemen. ??Fly, or surrender at once," whispered the Scribe. ??The panther is. lord in the desert." ? The li >n m vor flics," was the hold excla mation < f tl> Hey. as ho drew his scymotar. The Arab. : ?? in- the flash, returned it by a general fire of their muskets, and rushing on in tho smoke, to their astonishment, they found that instead of a troop of some hostile tribe, they bad but a single enemy, the handsomest of Moslem, who still defied them. They burst out into laughter at bis presumption, and at the same moment a dozen fellows leaped from their horses, and threw themselves upon him. lie struggled desperately, but a feeble voice reached his car. which totally unmanned him. By the gleam of a torch be saw his friend in the bands of a crowd of tlje Arabs, who were carrying him away; and to his still deeper terror, he saw a long line of blood trickling from beneath bis turban. He felt himself in stantly powerless, and flinging away his weapon, yielded at once. The captives were carried in triumph lo the camp ; where Mustapha's jewels were infinitely admired and plundered to the last stone. Hut his true sorrow was fur the suf ferings ofdiis wounded friend j The lley was in consolable for the misfortune, which ho attribu ted entirely to bis own rashness. "Well was it said by llaliz." ho exclaimed in bitterness, "that he who takes the wolf by the throat, should first see that his tusks are plucked out." The young Scribe pointed with his slight finger up ward, and said with a faint smile. ''The skies are as bright above this lent, as they were on the sea shore. The run will rise to-morrow, as he. rose yesterday. W'e are it: hands stronger than the hands of the Arab. The. first refuge of the fearful, but t!o< l:ssl refuge of the brave, is despair."

Bismarck's Private Secretary. Dinner is over. It is well nigh midnight. Putbus is sleeping. Only a single light still sparkles through the autumnal frees of the Park. It leads us to the pleasant villa near the Prince's kitchen-garden. Count Bismarck is still awake; but he is no longer the same gay talker, the amiable, witty companion, such as we have scon him at din ! iicr. In the dead of night he i< again Prime Minister. lie wlio has come to Iiiigen to repose from his toils, sits at a desk covered with papers: his right hand is closed : hi: face looks almost gloomy; tho thoughtful brow is clouded; the iron Count is at work.

She quickly writes what tho minister dictates to her. Wc know this lady; Wp learned already to esteem her ; now wc admire hi sr. Tho Coun tess Bismarck is not only a loving wile to him, an excellent nurse to him in his bodily ailments, a devoted mother to his children ; she is, be sides, the iron Count's faithful, indefatigable assistant in his grave toils.
