" And what would you do with it? Tell me," she saich While an aroh smile played over her beautiful face, I would blow it," he answered, " and then my fair ta aid Wou'.d fly to my sido and would thero take her place." " ls th.it all you wish it for ? That moy be yours With >ut any magic," the fuir maiden cried; " A favor so slight one's good nature secures !" And sho ptafuUy seated herself by his side. '. I would blow it again," said the youth, " and thc charm Would work so that not even Modesty's cheek Would be aide to keep fr..m my neck your fine - arm!'' She suii'od and she laid ber fine arm round his neck. " Yet once more would I How, and the music divine Would bring mo a third time an-ejtu.uisite bliss You would lay your fair oheek to this brown one of mine, And your lips stealing past it would givo me a kiss." The maldon Kujjhod out in her innocent glee " What a foul of yourself with tho whistle you'd mako ; TOT only consider bow silly 'twould be To sit there 3nd whistle for what you might take." . - ? ? An Algerine Wedding. [Moorish Indies are usually married at or before tho agc of thirteeu ; and I was informed ol' some curious particulars by au English lady who was present at one of those marriages, thc families on both sides being of the highest Moorish birth. The young lady was very lovely, and nuder the age I have mentioned above. Th* company of ladies (headed by her mother,) amounting in all to upward of sixty, among whom -were my informant and a few French ladies, surrounded the bride, whose head, as usual, was wrapped in a sack, and led lier a few hours alter dark to her future home, where, they were received hy tho mother and female rein lions of the bridegroom. Tb? poor child, weeping bitterly, was then undressed, carried by her attendant into a bed. where she was commanded to sleep for au hour or two while they ate their sup per! The European ladites were served apart with colfee, cakes, and confectione ry ; while the Moorish ladies (some of . them very beautiful) were closely seated in a.circle on an immense low cushion, and on their knees a long napkin which extended round the whole party ; in thc centre was a sort of low circular table which moved 0:1 . a pivot, and on wilieb the slaves placed one dish at a time, out ol' which eaeh lady took a mouthful with her fingers, and with a slight touch made the dish revolve to h?v next neighbor. The dishes succeeded one another to the number of more than twenty, when the whole was carried off, and at eleven a slight refreshment was taken to the bride, after which the ceremony of dressing her commenced. Every lady present was requested to take some slight part in this important operation, and my English friend's consisted in plaiting one of an immense number of little tresses into which her long black hair was divided, with a diamond trembling at the encl of .each, tier face was then enameled, and a star of gold-leaf fixed on each cheek, ts vwell as on her chin and the tip of her nose. Rows of the finest pearls were hung round her neck, increasing in size until the lower row reached to her waist, and which were of the size of small nuts. lier dress was of cloth-of-silver, with the usual muslin trousers, and a sort of crown of diamonds on her head. By two in thc morning all was read) and thc room prepared, when ?he finishing stroke was put to the whole by gumming dmrn her eye*, which were not to be opened until the following morning, when she might see her husband, and not Lill then. At two o'clock thc slaves introduced the bridegroom, a handsome youth of nineteen, dressed ip pj.de gray silk pro fusely oruamented with silver and dia monds. He took his place under a cano !>y, to which the bride was also guided by 1er mother, and placed by his side. His mother then poured a few drops of rose water into the bride's hand, which the bridegroom drank ; and then her mother ??oared also a few drops into his hand, and guided it to her daughter's mouth, and she drank it ; upon which they were pronounced man and w ife, auu the com pany immediately separated. Catchin ; a JLion Alive. Many years ago the people of Dooraa sansa (a town on the Gambia) were much annoyed by a lion that carne every night and took away some of their cattle. By continuing his depredation, the people were at length so much enraged, that a parly ?f them resolved to go and hunt thc monstc. They accordingly proceed ed in search of the common enemy, whom they found concealed in a thicket, and, immediately firing at him, were lucky enough to wound him in such a manner that, in springing from the thicket towards the people, he fell down among the grass and was unable to rise. The anima!, ' however, manifested such an appearance of vigor that nobody cared to approach him singly, and a consultation was held concerning thc most proper means of taking him alive; a circumstance, it was said, which, while it furnished undeniable proof of their prowess, would turn out tn great advantage, it being resolved lo convey him to thc coast and sell him to the Europeans. Wliile some persons proposed one plan, and some another, an old mon oiTered a scheme ; this was, to strip the roof of a house of its thatch, and to carry the bamboo frame (the pieces of which are well secured together. by thongs) and throw it over the lion. If, on approach-, ing him, he should attempt to spring upon them, they had nothing to do hui; to let down this roof upon themselves and fire ct the lion through the rafters. This proposition was approved and adopted. The thatch was taken from the roof of a hut, and the H?-huntors, sup portiag the fabric, marched courageously, to the field of battle, each person carry ing a gun in one hand and bearing his share of the'roof on the opposite shoulder. In this manner they approached Che ene my, but the beast had by this time re- J covered bis strength, and such was: the \ fierceness', of his countenance that the 1 bunters, instead of proceeding any fur .her. thought it prudtent to provide for 1 heir ] own safety by covering tbemsvJves with ' the roof. FJtifortunately the-Hon was too nimble. 1 * for them, for, making a spring while the bouse was letting -diown, both the beast ' and lats pursuers were caught m the wine 1 ?a?e, m? the lion devwjj?d ihm st his, eisure, to the astonishment and mortifica- 1 ,iou of people of Doomasnnso, at which 1 placo it is dangerous even at this- day to tell the. story,. for it has become' the sub leot of laughter and derision in the neigh- 1 boring countries, and nothing will enrage an inhabitant of that town so much as desiring him to catch a lion alive, '-? ? ? NOT a score of year9 ago," writes a correspondent, " there resided in Hunts ville, Alabama, a single gentleman who had been raised to the desk, and was consequently au fait in double and single entries,*bnI. very slow in every thing else. He had passed his third decade, was fond of the girls, and very much iii love with one of Huntsville's fairest and most nc con>plished daughters-to her infinite an aoyauce and confusion, as he was unusu ally attentive. Ile was very amiable, and, the giris said, very stupid; was their pet horror, but their standing convenience in last resorts ; and known among them as " Cousin T." One Sabbath morning a number of bachelors, Cousin T. among iliem, had a:?sembled in the back-room of thfe law-ofiics of one of the number, when Ike following story was told : " In aa adjoining county there was a desperate negro, who had frequently run off from his master and been as often captured. The last time-he ran, however, he provided himself with a double-barrel ed sh?t-gun, and swore he would not be taken alive. His master, knowing his desperate character, induced several < f his neighbors to go along in the- search for him. When they came up with him he killed two of the party belbre he was captured. He was tried, sentenced, and executed. After the rope was adjusted, he wag asked what made him {kill those men, and he answered, " Nothing at all and refusing to say more, was launched into eternity. Many good and reliable men, whom yon all know, attest that, to this day, if you pass his grave and a<k " What made you kill those men.-" he will answer from the grave, " Nothing at all !" "The story was told with a gravity calculated to give it the desired varisem blame ; and some expressed astonishment, some doubt, and others entire incredulity. Cousin T., meanwhile; was reclining on the bed. Piesenlly thc joke was seen by one of the party, who burst into a hearty laugh at thc ,; sell," aud was soon joined by the rest, who detected it almost simul taneously. Not so Cousin T. During the loud and prolonged laugh Cousin T. maintained more than his usual gravity. When the merriment had subsided Cou sin T. spoke, and said he didn't see any thing in it to laugh at. This, of conree, produced new peals of laughter, until, finally, thc joke was fully and fairly ex plained to him ; whereupon he was thrown into a violent and almost interminable paroxysm of laughter, rolling over and over on the bed, and refusing to be quiet ed. Immediately t-fter dinner, and before his inauioralc had tt.ken her wonted siesta, he posted to her house, his heart dancing to the hope that this time, at least, he would be very agreeable to her. With out preface, and with much solemnity, he began : "Miss S-, there is the strangest thing down in Lauderdale you ever heard j of. A negro down there run away from his master, and when they tried to take him he killed two of the men, and was hung for it. And if you go by his'grave now, and ask him what made him kill them men, he won't say nothing at all !" " Here he burst into a rude iaugh, while thc lady looked at him in blank amazement, and quietly remarked that she saw nothing strange in it whatever. His laugh subsided into a foolish grin ; and, covered with confusion, he stam mered out that he reckoned he didn't tell it right, for it sterned mighty funny to him ; and, taking his hat, he left abruptly, leaving his sweet-heart under the full con viction that he was not only a bore but a stark fool." WnErtE THE LAUGH CAME IK.-Mr. Bunco's and Sizer's farms adjoined each other. Sizer had an unruly sheep which was in the habit of getting into Bunco's field. Bunce expostulated with Sizer sev eral times, and told him if he didn't keep his sheep at home he would fix him so he wouldst jump any more fences. But Bunce soon found the sheep back again ; so he caught him, nd with a knife severed the cuticle or skin just beyond the gam briel joint, and between the main cord and bone, then thrust the other hind leg thro' the aperture, and tlTen put the sheep back over thc fence, which went oif hob bling on three legs. Sizer soon after discovered the sad plight Ids sheep was in, and he knew very well who was the cause of it, but he con duced to take things coolly, and wait some suitable opportunity to revenge himself. Presently Bunce's old sow broke into Sizer's field, when he caught her, and with a sharp knife cut her mouth from ear to ear, and turned hef back into the field. When Bunce discovered this he went to Sizer's in a great rage, and demanded of him what he did that for. Sizer said, '; Upon my word, neighbor Bunoe, I didn't do any such a thing. Your old sow split her mouth Jauyhing at my sheep through the fence." -.-? * - ? A farmer, whose son had been ostensi bly learning Latin in a popular academy, not being perfectly satisfied with the con duct of young hopef il, roealled him from school, and placing him by the side-of a cart, thus addressed him as follows : .'Now, Joseph, h-^re is a folk, and there is a heap of manure and a cart, what do you call them in Latin ?" " Forkibur, cartibus, et manuribus," said Joseph. " Well, now," said the old man, " if you don't take that forkibus pretty quicka bus, and pitch that muuuribus into that cartibus, I'll brc k your lazy back'tbus'. . Joseph went to workibus forthwithabus. RECIPES THAT NEVEU FAIL.-To des troy rats-catch them one by one, and flatten their heads with a lemon squeezer. To kill cockroaches-get a pair of heavy boots, then catch your roaches, put them in a barrel, and get in yourself, and dance. To catch mice-on going to bed put crumbs in your mouth, and lie with it open, ' and when a mouse's whiskers tickle your throat-bite.
