It was midday in Syria. TlO air was sultry and oppressive. Not a breath wind inftvcd along the sandy solitude, where no tree .'uTered a welcome shade. The sterile and barren de sert spread around on every side?all *lesolatc. all burning in the hot rays of the sun. There were no fountains, no trees, nothing to be seen but the plain of sand, wive where in the dis tance a long line of gloomy and rugged rocks arose. Through this frightful desert traveled ft Christian knight. All day he had gone on, the 'sun sending down fiercest rays upon his helmed head and glittering and polished armor. Faint and wear}" he went on, and us he nearcd the gloomy but grateful rucks a thrill of joy passed through his bosom. "Ha !" he exclaimed, as towards evening he entered t\o shadow of a lofty, precipitous height. "Here is a grateful place to rest. Here I may dismount nml refresh myself and weary steed. Hut first let mc find some spring where my horse and I may obtain a draught of water." So saying, he went on more slowly tluin be fore. It was well that he had reached this place of rest. His horse trembled, with utter fatigue, and seemed scarce able to walk. The knight himself felt exhausted, and Iiis iron frame was almost broken down by the la bors of the day. At length he found a spring which gushed musically from one of the rocks into a pool bil low. Here he dismounted, ami rider and horse both rushed eagerly to the water. The knight drank long and heavily. ??'Praised bo the Holy Virgin !" he exclaimed brushing away the drons of water which clung to Iiis mustache, "Praised und forever blessed be St.-." "Ho ! Christian?" suddenly exclaimed a voice behind him iu Arabic, "surrender!" The knight turned swiftly around, drawing his sword as he did so. Before him was a Saracen knight, dressed iu .chain armor, mounted on a light Arabic steed. "Surrender,. Sir Christian !" "Who art thou who darrst call on me to sur render ?" "I?I am ITamct, the (lovernor of Arc, the well known in the camp of Saladin." "And I Count Belaud de Courcy, despite thee for an infidel und base heathen 1" cried the Christian, lifting his sworn ; "so come on, thou on horse and T on foot. 1 will tight thee; (Jod judge the right!" "Fool !" cried the Saracen. "Dost thou think that I am alone as thou art? See !" Uo blew a silver trumpet which hung by his side. At the sound a number of followers came riding one after another from the clefts and defiles of the surrounding nudes. "Wilt thou light now ? \ ield, Christian !" Do Courcy stood fur a moment, and looked around. As many as a hundred men were there before him. How could he fight against such fearful odds ! "T am your prisoner; but. ITamct, if thou durst, I will fight you fin- my freedom." The Saracen smiled sarcastically. "No, no, Sir Christian. 1 wish not to kill thee. Soldiers, give him another horse, for his is weary. Form around and let us go." His followers obeyed. "With the captive knight in their midst they departed. ''Where art thou taking me ?" said He Cour cy to Unmet.' "Where ?" To Are. That will theuceforth be thy home." "Boast not thyself too greatly. I may be freed from thy hand." The palace of Unmet lay a little way out of town, upon a gentle eminence, facing the sea. It was a magnificent edifice, built in the luxu rious style of the Saracens. Among the many places nvouud it was a lilting yard, built for the purpose of. enjoying that chivalrous sport which the Moslem loved as well as a Christian. 'Do Cuuroy was ninths a slave. He was al lowed the freedom of the house and grounds, but it was impossible for him to escape?for wherever hu went lie was watched. Vet his situation was not so miserable as might be con ceived. Among the maidens who dwelt in Hamet's palace the most beautiful was his peer less daughter, Donnah. She it was who. on his arrival- pitied him. and saved hint from a dungeon, she it was whoso dark eye would .sometimes rest upon him with an expression which made his youthful heart throb with un accustomed \ iolonee. -Oh ! had I but my freedom, ami my gallant men behind me. how eagerly 1 would force my way even into the middle of Hamet's buhl to win the lovely Donnah '." ? - A tournament! The proclamation went round and the tidings spread far and wide that Unmet was going to prepare a tournament, which for splendor and magnificence could not be surpassed. ".My father," said Donnah, "where will your knights come from ?" "Where? From my own brave troop, and from Are, where some of the bravest of all the faithful dwell." "And wilt thou have Moslems only ?" "Yes. Would I venture to let the faith less Christian approach here? No, by Allah !" "But there arc Christian enptives who were once soldie's." "Well." "Thoy can wield the sword and take a part in the tournament." . "Well sah:." "If they uro killed, let them die?the)' arc only Christians; but if they are victorious let them be free." "1 will do so. "fis a glorious thought, my daughter. J have here a Christian knight ; ho shall light for his freedom." "Who is he ?" "Who? The famous knight |)c Courcy." Unmet saw not the flush which mantled the lair check of Don nob, as she turned away, nor did he see her as she spoke low words of eu courageincnt to Do Courcy. She gave him a small piece of parchment and iu it the enraptured youth read : "When the tournament is won. Donnah wil! be ahead-?on her way to the Christian camp." "Brave girl! Oh ! thank heaven, 1 can yet be free. The morrow will give lllti happiness and liberty." The morning for which he so earnestly longed dawned at length, and even at an early hour the ground was thronged with eager visi tors, who came to witness the spectacle. About three hours before midday the trumpet sound ed, and the knights who were destined to fight slowly gathered together. Three sides were enclosed by raised seals for spectators. The fourth was opon. At the upper end sat Unm et on a sort pfllirouc, which he occupied by virtue of his lofty rank. From his scat lie could.obscrvcull tliat happened. Around him' were many of the most beautiful ladies in tho city, whose bright cyoH sparkled with eager in terest. ? ' ' "Where is Donunli ?" said Unmet, to nn at tendant. "Donnah ? She said she was ill." "111! How no? Yesterday she was very well." "I know it. She an id so." llainct looked uneasy, hut the suddon peal of signal trumpet drove away all thoughts, bhvc those of intense eagerness and excitcmont. First two Saracens engaged, and wcro fol lowed by others. Few were injured gTcatly. Thus far it was merely sport. The spectators waited patiently for the more bloody contests which were to follow. They did not wait long, for after about an hour a Christian knight stopped forward to encounter a Saracen, whose prowess had elicited most of the applause of the admiring gazers. New interest was exci ted by the contest, for there was something more than emulation to give strength to the combatants. In 4fcc one it was fierce fanati cism and deadly hatred ly^ the Christian ; in the. other determined resolution, mingled with the inspiring hope of liberty and :ill that can make life happy. '?Who is this Christian ?" said all who saw him. And, indeed, in his appearance there was . something which ?night well excite the curiosi ty of the bchuldcrs. lie was tall, and all his limbs were strongly knit together. His armor was of heavy plate, and glistened da/.zingly in tho rays of tho sun. In his hand ho held lightly tho ponderous tilting Hpeur, while his horse was managed with admirable grace. '?Who is he ?" "The Christian knight De Courcy." " The answer came from Ilamet, and passed among the surrounding crowds. The two knights were stationed. Fach made ready. The signal wah given, and in a cloud of dust each rode towards the other. There was a shock, a rattling of armor, a crash of arms, a dark form fell headlong to the earth. The cloud rolled away. 1 lie Christian knight sat calm as a statue upon hit horse, holding a broken spear, while at his feet la}- a horse and warrior in the ago nies of death. A lierc-i yell broke from the excited throng. The knight rode slowly to Unmet. "Am 1 free?" "Five! Dog of a Christian! Wilt thou claim freedom .ifter killing so brave a warrior as he No. thou slmlt not yet be free. Other and harder work is before thee." Do Courcy retired, and -with another spent' awaited the approach of a new antagonist. He did nut wait long. Amid loud cries and the sound of trumpets and drums, came another Saracen warrior. His form was almost gigan tic. His armor was thick and heavy, while the horse which he rode, was one of the heavy and fiery steeds used by the Crusaders. Again the two knights took their stations. Again tho signal was given and they rushed together. The spear of the Saracen was avoid ed by Do Courcy, and striking slantingly upon his shield, it glanced from him. Holding his own weapon with an iron grasp, he directed it full against the breast of his foe. As the Sa racen's spear glanced, Do Courcy struck him with irresistible force. Tho horse was thrown back upon his haunches. The heavy form of tho rider was hurled upou the ground. '? Vengeance ! vengeance ! Death to the Christian S" yelled the infuriated crowd. Do Courcy shook his spear in defiance of all around him. '?Come on, bring hither your bravest!" "Seize him !" shouted llauict. "Never!" cried De Courcy. He turned his horse and struck his spurs deep into his flanks. The steed sprang forward. A score of men at-arms stood opposite him ; the spear of the Hying knight scattered them all. Away?away lie went over hill, over plain, away, ami his horse's hoofs thundered along the rocky road as ho lied, leaving his astonished foes far be hind him. When about ten miles from the city he saw before him a youth dressed in a light chain armor, and moulded upon a horse. ??Who art thou?" he cried, as he come up. '?Your deliverer !" said a voice which thrilled through him. and lifting up the helmet which covered [his head, a mass of dark luxu riant hair fell down. 'Donnah !" Do Courcy pressed her to his heart. ''Fly, Donnah, fly ! The foe is behind us." And the. Christian knight and his brave lady pushed swiftly toward the Christian camp. A week after there was a great festival in the camp of the Crusaders. The sound of the harp, the merry peals of laughter, songs and music resounded from every side. In the air flaunted gorgeous banners of many uations. and beneath them the festivities were carried on'. All was joy. for there the famous knight De Courcy married the lovely Donnah, Richard tin Lipn-hvnrted giving away tin- bride. VARIOUS. .' , What the Radicals Have Done.

They have established a bond-ocracy which shares none of the burdens imposed upon the people, but whieh waxes rich and fat on their sweat and toil. While they have increased the price of all the necessaries of life by their infamous policy, official plundering and partisan legislation, there has been no corresponding increase in the wages of industry. They have built up a thieving, swindling banking system, that picks out of the pockets of the people from twenty-live to thirty millions a year. They have reduced ten fStatcs to the condi tion of subject provinces, where all the rights of the people arc at the will of the infamous miscreants like Sickles and Pope, and where the nigger is politically the superior of the white man. Tlicy have disfranchised tcu millions of our own race and blood. They have trampled under foot the great vital principle of froe government; that taxa tion and representation should be ins:para blc. Tl.ey have deprived the President of his constitutional authority aud power, and created in the place of the three departments an over shadowing usurpation in the form of & Con gressional oligarchy. They inflicted eternal disgrace upon the country by the murder of an innocent woman, through such devil's instruments as Holt aud Stauten. They have made a mockery of the ballot in Tennessee and Missouri, where innocent men are murdered through the connivance of Brown low, Fletcher and their hell hounds. They have broken every Congressional and other pledge which they made when they tricked the country into the adoption and prose cution of the war policy. They have let loose a flood of spies and do- I teetives over the land, and suborned perjurers to swear away the lives of innocent men and women. \ They have provoked bloody collisions iu the South, and then fabricated therefrom, through the instrumentality of paid agents and corres pondents, infamous lies, with which to fire the Radical heart. The}' have concocted, through such degrad ed wretches and black-hearted miscreants as Ashley and Butler, most devilish plots for the ruin of their political opponents. They have reduced the agricultural aud pro ducing portion of the country to a state or tri butary vassalage to the manufacturing mono polies id* Puritans. They are now engaged iu a deep conspiracy to change the form of our government and re duce the North to the same condition as the South. Such are the acts, such the designs of the Radical part}'. - ??T?T' Rkautiful Am.kgory.?Mr. Crittchdon "was engaged in defending a man who had been indicted lor a capital offence.

How n Circus -?fihs Broken ?pii We have laughed heartily over the following ludicrous story, and would not deprive our readers of the same cnjoym?bt. A number of years ago when Michigan was' a new country, in Livingston count}- there lived a family by the name of Clayton, and- ' one called Perkins also,?as well as* a great many others. >?.?--' Bite Clayton was a tall, fine" looking follow' ? noble specimen of our back-Woodsmen?" standing six feet two inches in Iiis stockings: Pete had taken a shine bo Miss-Sallcy Pcr-> kius, and it was known in fact they were on* gaged, but the day when the knot was to bo tied had never yet been divulged. In the month of August, 1840, June's circus came through their town for the first time, and" iu fact it wan the .first circus that hud ever passed that way, and there were a great many . people who had never seen one. When the important day arrived, the town was filled to overflow with a motley crowd, of course, and every young fellow had his gal. Now Pete wanted to get married on the coming Christ-" 1 mas, but Sally wished to have it put olf till the next spring. "When the ticket wagen was opened the tent was filled iu a hurry. Pete' und really hart been looking in lUo tddo shows and they wctc late in getting in and the per formance had already commenced. They walked around the entire ring, trying to find a scat, and although they could scat 2000 people, every seat was full. '?Never mind," said Sal, ''I'd just as licve stand up." But the gallant Pete couldn't think of it aud said, '-Wait a luin't, I'll get-you a chair," . and off he started leaving Sal alone. Just at this moment the clown came in dressed in his usual costume, and daucing around the ring, stopped iu front of Sal ancV began to sing : "Oh Sally is the gal for me." This caused Sal to blush, for she thought* that the clown was looking at her. As she stood near the ring, of course she hid the views" of those on the lower seats behin-1 1 ;r and as usual on such occasions, the blown cracks Ms! jokes at the ofienders. until they take the hint and find a seat, but she said she would rather stand up. At this the clown conmie?ccti n*??' jokes remarking to tlie ring master : ''There's a chance for nie how." i "A chance for 'yob ?" "Yes, don't you sec that gal has lost her' beau, and she is looking at nie T know," and. turning three or four somersaults, he stopped ' in front of Shi, and began to sing. "Oh, Sally is the gal for mo. I would have no ether, And if Sal died to-ir.orrow night, I'd marry Sally's mother." This was evidently meant for her atett raised Sal's dander, and she hurst out with? ??I'm the gal for you, am I? Marry my" mother, will yer ? You low-lived spotted scum. of the earth. If my fellow was here he would* wallop you for that. 1 wouldn't stay here another minit?no neither would any decent people either." Saying which she rushed out of the tent amid roars of laughter. The clown assuming'a comical attitude, re marked to the ring master that" his grand-fa ther was a remarkable man, nnd sit was his grandmother, too, but that gal. bent all hhr forefathers. , | ? i . r -. d ? At this juncture Pete, rushed in closely fol lowed by Sal, and jumping into the ring he squared off at the clown and said : I'll teach you to insult any female under my charge, and let fly tit his opponent and faking him plump in the face, seiijl him to iffothcr earth, with which lie jumped fin hint aud com menced kicking him unmercifully. Sal standing on the outside of the ring clapped her hands, and sang out: "That's it, Pete, give hint- jessie, fCnd we'li git married on Christmas, sure. At this moment the ring mnstbr and three or four others caught Poto und ctynmenocd to trash htm when IVlc** lrionds iid?rfdrcl?, .art^ ,., a general tight ensued, which completely broko up the circus.. ? ? ,
