The beautiful Fatima, at parting, left two handsome shawls as a remumbrance, uue for Captain Anderson, and the other for Capt. Gilbert. They were conveyed front the brig so closely en veloped, that not even a tigure was dis cerunole; and on their landing were sur rounded by a troop of blacks, or guards a1 the harem, and conveyed in closed fit ters to the town. The Kedpole then sailed from Zante, whituer Sir Frederick and Lady Adam ha-d gone, to whom the Captain gave au account of his mission, and trul delighted were they to hear that their fair protegees had been so Mtudly received. On our re turn to Corfu, the fullowng distressing in telligeuce awaited us. The two vessels had scarcely sailed iron ime Gulf of Le paato, before the ruthless imonster ol a Pa sha, p.aciug no fiatn in the honor of' the British otLicers, and deaf to all remonstra strance, caused the whole of these unortu nate creatu'res, the beautiful and interest ing Fatima among the rest, to be tied in sacks and drowned in the waters of the Guit. The horror and indignation with which this intellige'uce was received at Corfu, can hardly be described. Not a man but who would have gladly volun teered to have burnt Lepanto to the ground and have hung the dog of a Pasha by his own beard. But we were powerless: we had no right to interfere, and were to smother our indignation as we best could. Therawas many a wet eye in Cotfu fo the fate of poor Fatima and her luckless companious. But judgment speedily o vertook the perpetrator of this moss wan ton deed o1 butchery, though it is strange how noble were the last moments of this man of blood, By some means Cherebid Pasha had incurred the suspicion of the Porte. There is but one way amongst the Turks of ex plaining these matters. A Tartar shortly arrived at the head quarters of the pasha, bearing the imperial tirman and the fatal bowstring. The Pasha no sooner read the fatalscroll than lie kissed it, and bow ed his lorenead to the earth in token o reverence and submission. "Do your instructions forbid me to use poison instead of submitting to the how stringl" Calmly asked the Pasha of the Tartar. "His highness may use his own pleas ure," aiswered the Tartar. "1 have wiRi me a pienht mixture, with his highness permission I will prepare it." The Pasha then called together all his officers and his household. He was at tired in his most splendid robes, and re ceived them in state divan, as though it the plenitude or his power, The fatal messenger stood by his sicle. In one hand he held the golden goblet all enriched with precious stones, and in the other be held the imperial Orrvan. "I have sent for you all, to show you by my example, that It is the duty of a Mussulman to die at the command of his superior as well as to live for his service and honor. The sultan, our master, has no further occasiov for his servant, and has sent him this fir man. It remains only for me to obey. I might it is true, resist, surrounded b3 guards and friends. But no: I respect the will of God and our blessed prophet thro the word of his successor. 1 value not life in comparison with duty; and I pray you all to profit by my example."-Withi a firm and unflinching hand he carried the poisoned goblet to his lips and drank it tc the dregs, then shaking his head as one who had a nauseous draft, he handed the cup to the Tartar and said-Keep it your potioni is bitter indeed; present myi duty to your master, and say that his ser vait died as he lived; faithful and true. "Arid you," he added, turning to those whc stood dismayed around him, "if ever it should arrive that any of you should have -to undergo-the same-trial," his voice faltered, and his face became deadly pale: "remember Cherchid Pasha! Alla!-Ac. bar!-God's will he ---" hut before he could finish the sentence, his head fell up. on his breast and he fell back upon the cushions ohf his divan and expired. The Tartar took a bag fromi his girdle, and withb a knife'separated the head from the body; the blood staining the jewelled velvets. The head he deposited earefully in the bag, tied round his waist, and in a few minutes was on his fleet steed on the road to Constantinople. We have this account fromn an eye witness.

In 1823 the Greeks, in one of their ma luding expeditions, captured the entire arem of the celebrated Cherchid Pasha. 'he instant this affair was made known to ir Frederick Adam he sent to negotiate ith the captors for their prize, and ran imed them for ten thousand dollars. ith the kindest and most delicate atten on Sir Frederick had a house fitted up spressly lor the recepton of those fair in dels, and had them conveyed to Corfu ad landed in the night unseen by the cu ousinbabitants. During their residence te strictest privacy was observed with gard to them: not an individual in the land was allowed to see them except ady Adam, and a very few of the ladies the garrison. Sir Frederick lost no time in communi sting with the Pasba, and informed him r all he bad done, and the scrupulous are which he had observed towards the ivacy of the ladies of his harem. The asha returned the most profuse acknowl cigment to Sir Frederick to oblige him sending them to Lepanto as speedily as assible. Sir Frederick Adam engaged e Glret merchant brig he was able, and ad her fitted up for the reception of its ir freight with such care that none of the ople on board could, by any possibility, tch a glimpse of the passengers. any or these interesting creatures had gratiated themselves wonderfully with e ladies,n ho were allowed to visit them, ytheir artlessness & unsophisticated no ons of the world an~d its ways. One was e favorite of the Pasha, and was said to ssess great influence, over him. She ~as a~ native of Vircassia, and was called atima, and possessed a greater profusion ornament and richer clothing than the hers. Lady Adam described her as the tst decidedly beautiful creature she ever held. She had large dark eyes with a ft and pleasing expression, which could t fail to interest any one who looked up. aher; h.ar eye-lashes were very long and ack; her complexion wvas of the purest ite, and her teeth like ivory. She was t more than eighteen years of age, and ady Adam could not refrain from tears parting with one so young and beautiftul. out to be secluded forever from a world hich she might, under happier auspices, ve adorned.

In order to couiteract the etiect of these absorbing pas sions, to teach to mau duties more hign and more important, to make him feel all the ten der and endearing relations of a social being, and to prepare him for a state, in which all these exquisite associations may be indulged to their fuhest extent, one day in every seven lias been devoted. Let us iooK for a moment, at the im portance of this benefit. W e will cite merely one passion, and that is friendship, in proof of this assertion. How heart consoling it is to find one bosom, that can be made the repository of all our joys and our sorrows our snies and our tears? How is prosperity enhvt-I:ed, how is adversity solaced by such communion; we seem to live a double life, to have oiie breast responding to all the sensations of'our own; if the cares and the business of life divide us, it seems to tear the heart-strings from the heart. In absence how uneasy we are-we chide eve. ry adverse gale that detains thje long-wished for initelligence of our friend; on his return, behold the expanded arms to welcome his arrival, and the eyes overflowing with tears of transport! When tie dies, how often does surviving lfriend. ship press with restless footsteps the grass green turi, where the ashes are slumbering? Vith what fervency does the heart dwell on his last look of tenderness-how does it hoard up every relick, consecrated by the touch of atiection, witn what mourntful enthusiasm does it dwell on every characteristic motion,. attitude and iook, aiid manner. and gesiure. and counte nance, and smile and frown of an objectsodear! Oh, how poor, now sterile is biography, to por iray the thonsand nameless pleasures of friend ship, to enter into the sanctuary of the human heart, and to sketch with her pencil, those un defined and undefinable joys and sorrows, that constitute enjoyment. What then shall we think of the immortality of this passion. where no tomb rears its grass green mound, to inter rupt the tide of affections so dear; where no false friendship can exist, where there is noih ing but confidence and love ii their fullest per fection. as boundl-ss in their extent as the attri butes of God I Can the frenzied dreams of the poet, in the delirium of his fancy conceive su perior enjoyment! And yet these are poetic visions-they may be regarded as scriptural truths. Therefore love to God is made the first, and love to our neigljbor the second duty, aiid the sincerity of the latter is made the standard, by which the former is to be measur: d. The argument seems to run thus, if a man loveth not his neigh bor whom lie hath seen-i' y'oit s. Dok!A about your neighbors and friends from whom you are perpetually receiving kindness and benefits-if such endearing qualities presented by one before your eyes, make no impression of gratitude, confidence or aihetion; if you re gard this individual still as a stranger, how can you love a beneh'actur notwithstanding the amount of his benefits, be they ever so reat, whom you have never seen-the sight of te in dividual inspires io gratitude: how much less then is love or gratitude inspired vhen this Be ing is invisible. Thus are the holiest affections of the human heart. love to the Deity, made evi dent to mankind, by our love to our friends and neighbors. We make these general remaiks to shew the inportance of the Sa:buh-the day devoted to the indulgence of affections so-holy -it may theref'ore be said that the notorious violator of that day, does all ini his power to de privy friendship of its endearmentn, benevo lence of its proper influence, and all the gener ous affections, their hold upon the heart; be endeavors 1o extinguish what little of pihilanthro py remains uncointaminated by' the polluting breatii of sell'-interest; he is neither a friend to his family or to himself. Dats-Dreamis can be ..produced by whispering in the ears when a person is asleep. Onie of the most curious as well as authentic examples of this kind lia been referrd to by several writers. I find the particulars in a pa per by Dr. Giegory, and they were related to him by a gentlemant who witnessed them. The subject oh it was an officer in the expedition to Louisburg, 1758, who hadl this peculiarity in so remarkable a degree, that his companions in the transport were in the liabit of amusing them selves at his expense. They could produce any kind ofa dreain, by whispering into his ear, espeially if this was done by a friend, with w ose voice he was' familiar. At one time they conducted him through the whole progress of a quarrel, whieh eiided m a duel; andl when the parties were supposed to be met, a pistol was put intohis hand, which he fired and was awakened by the report. On another occasion they found bim asleep on thne top ofa locker or bunker, in'the cabin, when they made him- be Jieve helhad fallen overboad, and exhorted, him 'to savehidiself by swimming. They then told him that a-shark wvas pursuing him, and entreg ted-him tdvefor f' . He instantly dId so, with such forceas to throw himsell'entirely front the locker, upon the eabiin foor, by wehich .he was mueh bruised, ad awakened of course. After the landing of-the armny at Louisburg, his friends found him asleep in hir tent, muc~h annoyed by the cannonading. They then made him believe that he was engaged. when he ex pressed great fear, and showe an evident dis position to run away. Against this theyremon strated but at the same time increased his fears by imitating the groans of the wounded and dy ing; and when lie asked, as he often did, who was down, they'named his par'icular friends. At last they told him that thie man next himslf in the line had fallen, when instantly he spun from his bed, rushed out of his tent, and was roused from hi. danger-and bia dreamn together. by falling over the tent-ropes. A remarka circumstance in this case was, that after .thes his dreams, but only a confused feelinF of op. pression or fatigue; and used to tell his friend that lie was sure he was playing some trick upos. him. A case entirely similar in its bearing is related in Smellie's Natural History, the sub ject of which wasa medical studentin the Uniq versity of Edinburgh. . Tobacco Cheing in Chiur.-In this day of improvement upon subjects generally, is it not surprising, that a certain evil. of no small im por taice, is permitted to remain untouched? We speak now of robacco-chewing in church filthy business dais! One would suppose that such a thing never would have been heard of; or. if it was ever done, it would be by people oino breeding, people knowing nothuing of th usagesofgciO society. But this is far from being the iact. Maiy gentlemen, ofgoodchar acter. of good feeiings, and In other respects ol good manners, chew, most voraciously, the filthy weed. & make wrethed work in the house of God. Now, why is thiq so7 If they were to serve their dwellings as they do th sanctuary, their wives and daughters would bring them up to a fearful rekoning for the con duct. Well, will they not have as much re pect for the house of God as for their own houses? Or, will they look upon that sacred court, as a sort of tramping-ground, where a shower of tobacco juice will be considered no serious inconvenience? Our attention has been called to this subject particularly of late. When we have seen mourners bowing at their seats, begging the prayers of Christians on their behal, and as the same time under the necessity a gt ting on their knees in puddles of this filth, our heart has revolted against the abominable practice. Now, how shall reformation be e4, fected? And who shall commence iu1-Chria tian Inder. From the Charleston Mercury. A NOBL.

We have seldom in our rea ing been so much struck with admiration, as a the illustration, with which it concludes, so V. ingenious, aid yet not impairing the sublimity ofthe thought by an ingenuity rarely equall even in the poetical conceitsof whichi'ngeeni. ty constitutes the merit. The few words ia which it is conveyed, will, we doubt not, avail with many minds, much more than pages of reasoning, to enforce the only rational view ot the high and mysterious question of -Free Will and Predestination-treating of which the re viewer says: "It has always struck us.that the two adversa propositions must both be admitted as positive ly true, though our reason is insufficient to re concile, them together. The point where thef meet and reconcile, is alone hidden fom Except in the particular, the double proof of the respective truth of each is complete.
