MUST-A-IPEC A THE PHILANTHROPIST. A TALK OF ASIA MINOR. [ConclMlcti.] The tribo tnoved to another pasturage, and they curried their prisoners along with them. To Mustaphn, tho Knranmnian lord, this life of hardship would once havo been ?intolerable. Whci'w were his slaves, his banquets, his min strels, his bail:8. uis perfumes'! He saw round him nothing hut tiiC horsohair curtains of his tent, and boyond them the u?ods of the wilder ness, Hte food was Harbs, his perfumes were the wild breath of tho decort shrubs, hlc com panions were tho ttcdowcon. Yot, what is man but tho child of circumstance! Ho had ab jured all his luxuries, for ho hud found them insufficient to fill up tho aching void of his mjnd. Ho now had health, exercise, and nn objopt. Tho bravery of his dofencc had ex torted tho applause of the Arabs ; his noble figure, tfommnnding countenance and match less dextovity in urms, had soon equally forced their admiration. They gave him a now name in their oxpcdltlous ; ho was tho ".Leopard," and their sheik finally crowned tho homago of the tribe, by tho offer of his only child, tho gazelle-eyed Ayesnti j Vrith n thousand sheep and a hundred camels an u dowry. Tbc pros ?poet wns .enough to torn the? brain of any young Jiero of tho desert* The husband of the lair Ayosha must'suc&aod to tho headship of tho tribe,-?two thousand horse men of the Bcni Kohlnni, masters of the finest pastures, rtyiowued for the fleetest horses, and still more renowned for having baffled tho pnshns of Syria, in every qncounter, for the last hundred yours. Tho Bey wont to tho tent of his young counsellor,, who was now- rapidly recovering from the effects of the Arab musquck Ho eommuniratod the generous proposal. * \. , "It offers all that a warrior can desire," was tho roply. ^'But I hate forsworn tho warrior," was tho answer. It offers much that the man of ambition might covet," said the Scribe. "But I have abandoned all that boars the name of ambition," said the Bey. "But it offers something to the cyo," said the Scribe j "for tho daughter of the sheik is amoving the handsomest of tho Bedoween. But tho. truo question is what it offers to the heart?" . The speaker pronounced tho words in a low tone, and remained evidently waiting an an swer. "I have tenfold forsworn that follysaid Mustapha, impatiently; "the heart is not con cerned in the marriages of the Moslem." There was silence for a time. At length the Bey added, "but, my friend, the judgo who is to decide on ury case, should know. all. I never saw tho face of woman, that I thought of a second moment,?but one." "The name of that'ono ?" osked the Scribe, with a tone, which seemed to borrow of ita im patience ironi the Boy. "I know not," was tho answer. The listener had taken a cup of sherbet from the attendant, and was tasting it with his parched lips, when the enquiries of Mustapha arrested his baud. ? "Is sho yet among the living ?" asked he. Still, "1 know not," was the answer. "Sho was seen but for a moment. Yet, her beauty has ?haunted me to this hour. Many a long day it made "mo restless and wretched. I. sought' her, but. in vain. It may hiivo been among Iho oiiiiw whw.l. t?>i..l.? me the. h.dii<jr..T_ dni, the slave of impulses, full oft the fever of the mind, always rush, always ropontantj ? wanderer. *a visionary, n madman." He cov ered his forehead with his hands; and struggled evidently with strong emotion. "But," added he, "I now speak of those things for the last time. On my march to Constantinople at tho head of my cavalry, as wo encamped on the plain bordering the Bosphorus, our position was accidentally crossed by a train from the seraglio. My troopers were wild fellows, and, unacquainted with the forms ol state, they broke loose and galloped up to the procession. This produced a cry of horror from the atten dants, und the startled camels ran away with their burdens. One of their little tents was overthrown at my foot, and from it 1 raised the lovliost being that the eye of man ever gazed on. She was fainting, and for the mo ment I looked unrestrained on beauty worth}' of Paradise. But the attendants soon- came up; nothing but tho threats of my horsemen prevented my instantly falling by the hands of the janizaries j the tent was replaced upen the camel, and a vision departed from my eyes that to this hour has shut out every other from my heart." Mustapha, as he uttered the words, rushed from the tent; sprang upon his steed, and gal lopod for leagues into the depths of the desert, to recover Iuh trunquility. On his return, he found tho tribe preparing to march to the at tack of tho great cavern from Tripoli. Ho marched with it, distinguished himself at the head of a chosen troop in a night assault, in which ho took the Pasha of Sidon prisoner, nod returned with the greatest prize of Syrian corn ill?*1 n:i<* cvcr Kract'^ tnc annals of plun der. All tho tribo lauded i.'j" to the skies; the warriors worein raptures; and e?'.or.V woman was instantly busied at the corn mill. .Mus tapha went out to view thoin in their occupa tion ; but his cyo was instantly struck by the coarseness of the national contrivance. lie found five hundred women doing with tho old hand-mill less work than with a little ingenuity might bo done with a- hundreth part of the labor and the time. "With wind, canvass and wood, any thing," said he, "may bo done." His invention was instantly active, and in a few days he gave a model for tho construction of a mill, which worked wonders. ? Tho wo men wore delighted to get rid of the troublo; the Sheik was delighted to cat bread which wns not half stona ; and all woro delighted at the genius which had raised in tho midst of their tribe, a machine requiring nothing but a blast of wind, to mako it iro on grinding till doomsday. The women, determined to escape tho drudgery for tho future, instantly brjkc every hand-mill that they could find j and Mustapha was at tho height of popularity, The new muchino becamo famous, before tho week was at an cud. But fame excites envy, and fflJ^ifj tho worst of peace-makers. The Bon! A^bubocker,&bne of the moat powerful tribenjt ,$he Hauran, had heard of this oxtra ordilaj^ invention, and rcsolyed either to scizo it, cf destroy a work which promised to turn the mill-wheel into the philosopher's stone. They /moved in great force against tho Beni Kolldui. A battle followed, desperately con tosbdi in which Mustapha again distinguished bin self . -But the rumor had now reached as fn?nabbe coasts of tho Bod Seaj tribe on tribe w?re feustcring to seize this mighty structure, wMc& was said to be tho work of inagio, sceres wrung directly from tho lips of tho gol doa ij jage of Solomon. A council of war was held,'^n which it was resolved to.fly that night froiu/<ihis~ overwhelming superiority. But, wlia/ was to be done with the great structure { towwpd abovo all their tents. To carry it awaj Was impossible in the rapid march of the tribe-J. to leave it was disgrace. It.wus there fore jto be burned. Tho tribe marched at twi ligh^ and its flame lighted them many a leaguo over-!the plain. They at leDgth haltod, and the Dtovisiotis were to be prepared. But the contusion was now universal. Even the old han?<-inills would have bocu better than none. The tribe rushed round tho tent of Mustapha, nssming him by overy namo of guilt, for hav ing oewitched them, first into war with all ith^yraicighui^fo, Slid nOXt, iutO Gating Com UU grotj?d; an insult worthy of the magician's blow*' Tho Bey was thunderstruck. He al most tore his beard in vexation. "Yet," he extlatmcd, "it is not these savages that I blame, so ioich as tho fool who could not leave them tu their own wits. By Allah, I desorvo to dio by the needles of the women, for the absurdity id'J.hinking that the present goncratiou could not' manage to live, eating .grit in the meal, us wcfi'uR their forefathers did." But this wis dojjtt was now too late. A guard who had j'ped on unground corn'' were placed upon i tout, and he was ordered for public execu ti$t nfflay-brcak. a^hd'ur after midnight, he was awakened sound of a knife cutting through the ffio tent. Tho young Scribe had thus ay to him. W," said he, "at last resolved to "^orld .to lie aviso lu Ua own coed luataphu lifted his eyes and hands to "Have you," continued the interroga ted never to think of teaching the knowledge of men to children ? Havo you re solved to try what it is good in the old, before you hurry on the new ? One quest ion more,? have 3'ou resolved to give up the honors of a sheik's son-in-law, and never to wed till you see once again the vision of the Bosphorus ?" Mustapha sprang from his scat at the words. Three horses were piqucttcd in rear of the tent. Ou one of them was already mounted the captive pasha of Sidon, who acted as their guide j and tho fugitives wore soon far from the camp of .the Beui Kohlaui. At the dawn they were galloping along the shore; a ship wus oft" the coast; they .hailed it, and found themselves in the Venetian vessel which had brought the pilgrims. To Mustapha's enquiry as to his converts, the answer was, "that they had never quarrelled, from tho day ho had ceased the attempt to reconcile them." The vessel dropped anchor in the gulph of Macri, and Mustapha viewed the shore of Asia with immeasurable longing. The young Scribe divined his emotions and said, -'My lord, you must return to your country, and take the station your birth, feelings, and talents, mark for your own." "No! my inheritance is now in the hand of another," said Mustapha bitterly; l,thc sword of my fathers is rusted in tho sheath of their son. Wo must find some lonely hill, or un known hermitage, and die together." "Never !" exclaimed the Scribe. ' The daughter of the Sultan was not made to be his follower whom she could not honor as her hus band." As the words were uttered, the slight hand was raised to the forhend, and the deep turban which had so long shaded the countenance was thrown back. Mustapha started with a cry of astonishment- The vision of the Bosphorus stood before him?S.hercne, the daughter of the king of kings of the cast. With ninny a blush and many a sigh tho lovely being Md the tale of her overcharged heart. Sho had nov*..\?' for gotten the noble aspect of tho chieftain whom she bad seen on the plains of Scutari. The agony of knowing that his generous spirit was exposed to the jealousies of a Turkish cabinet, still more than to tho hazards of war, drove her to tho wild expodient of following him to his dungeon. Sho had, from that hour, been his guardian nugol. His lesson of life was now fully given; his impetuosity was transmuted into forethought, and his precipitate zed to change all the world for tho better, into the enquiry how to mako the bcjst of it as it is. On this evening his' eye fell accidentally ou tho emerald signet, which, in memory of his father, he had retained in ul) his vicissitudes. To his titter astonishment, tfyti cloudy surface was briUiautly clear, and the characters yhonc like flushes of lightning. He read on the sig net the word?) "For all things there is a time. . Indolence is behind the'time. Rashness Is before the time. Wisdom Traits the time." Shercno was at his aide While he read the mya-. tery. As lio looked up in her fine countenance illumined by the suddon splendor of the talis man, he thought that he had nover soeu lovoli ness before The check suffused with rose, and the magnificent eye, looked to hini like the 'evening star shining in the sunset. *'Thc vision of the Bosphorus is f?rgotten,,r h? ox claimcd, gazing on her .with the rapt glance of a worshipper. Tlic princess g?ve an involun j tary start, and her lip grew pale. "Forgotten," exclaimed the lover,?-"but it is, in the pre sence of an houri 1" A tear of delight glit tered in her eye, the check was burning crim son again, she fell on his neck, and in that sacred embrace they pledged those vows which aro not to be dissolved by the power ?f man. The Boy had found the true motive for. ac tion. He flew to his province ; his vassals re ceived him with universal acclamation. All opposition perished before their triumph at seeing the heroic Bon of their old prince among thciu again. But their wonder was his bride, the princess Sherene Ilalibi. They honored her unequalled loveliness 5 but they worshipped her bencvolcnco, the loftiness of her genius, and the purity of her virtue. In the midst of the bridal, the Tartar of the court galloped up to the palace. He bore on hi? b?ad the fir maun of the Sublime Porte, giving the patern al benediction, and appointing the Bey to the. Pachalic of the great provinco of Karamania. K. S. E. MISCELLANEOUS. The First Anniversary of American In dependence in Charleston, S. C. We have before us a copy of the South Carolina and American General Gazette, dated Thursday, July 10, 1777.
