"By the Prophet, never!" exclaimed
the king; and he dashed his barb against
the wall of spears behind him; and, with
but a score or so of hts guard, cut his way
through the ranks that were not unwilling,
perhaps, to spare so brave a foe,?
As he cleared the 8pan%h battallions, the
unfortunate monaich checked his horse
for a moment and gazed along the plain:
he beheld, hi^ army flying iu all directions
save in that single spot where yet glittered
the turban of Muza Ben Abil Gnzan.
As he gazed he heard the panting nostrils
of the chargers behind, and saw the levelled
spears of a company despatched to
take him. alive or dead, bv the command
of Ferdinand: he faid ihc reigns upon his
horse's neck and galloped into the city;
three iances quivered against the portals
as he disappeared through the shadows of
the arch. But, while Muzti remained, all
yet lost: he perceived the fright of infantry
and the king, und with hi-s followers
galllopcd across th$ plain, he came in
time to encounter and s'oy, to a man, the
pursuers of Boahdil; ho then threw himself
before the flying Moors:
"Do ye flv in the sight of your wives
and daughters! would yc'not rather they |
beheld ye die?"
"A. thousand voices answered him,
"The banner is in the hands of the infidel
?all is lost!" They swept by him, and
stodped not till they gained the gates:
"Accursed be these spells!" cried Muza.

they were encompassed, wearied out, beaten

NOW AND THEN.
A Dutch farmer, up the river who
deemed his own shrewdness more than an
even match for that of 41 de tarn Yankee,"
was one evening sitting before his door,
with a mug of cider in his hand and a pipe
in his month, when he was accosted by a
stout looking man from the Eastward,
with a pack on his shoulder.
"Good evening"! Mister?do you want
to hire a man to work for you.'"
Vy, vat ish dat to you? replied the
Dutchman, slowly taking the pipe from
his mouth?Subbosc 1 does and subbosc I

14 Oh, nothing, nothing, replied the
traveller, leisurely taking the pack from
his shoulder, and helping himself to a

the Dutchman, that'as he hid prpred
himself so sharp at a bargain, tie (the
Yankee) should require a written contract,
specifying the particulars, and especially
the drinking and smoking now
and then.
*( Oh vor dat matter," said the Dnethman,
"I vlll ki* you de writin ferrv willingly.?Here;

"Stay, stay, Mr. Yahler," said the

I Squire Gobble soon came, and the conI
tract was drawn up according to form.
The hired man took care to have the exact
'words of the bargain inserted?to wit.
That he was to have ten dollars per month
for one year, and to have the privilege of
smoking and drinking cider now and then.
The Dutchman put his mark to the contract,
and then requested the Squire to
read it, that he might see whether it was
I correct. He listened with attention, and
when the Squire had concluded, he said?
14 Oh yaw?dat ish right?dat ish no

pcnse?dat ish all right. Now, Sliquire
i uoDDie, you may ko home mil your inkhorn;

"Certainly returned the Yankee?"but
in the first place I'll smoke a little and
take a mug of cider."
"Vat! you pekin to schomkc and to
trink citer so quick?"
" Yes, I'll just smoke and drink a little
cider now, and then I?ll?
" Veil, you schmokc ont your bibe, pretty,

thatjhe lured man would follow hint
in the course of t\w or ll^ree mipwtes.?
Hut \eMvaitad, 'fcnuV waited a longtime,
without seeing any thing of the Yankee.
At last he opt out of^aH patrcnce/^and
went in a rage tb the house to sec what the
fellow was about. There he found him
with a pipe -in on^hapd qand a - in tig of
i cider in the <oihcr, tmernately puffing and
( quailing, as though that was to be the only
business of the day.
"Vy, you tam Yankee rascnl!" broke

the hired man quietly, 4* of smoking now

and triuk all de ttme. You must come
out tc vork behint de parn yere I tell you
?and you must come quick too; I shall
not come arter you more ash vonce more,

With that the Dutchman flung out of
the house in a great passion, and went
to his work. But the Yankee, to his utter
aslonishwont, did not make his appearance.
Alter working for some time
in no very pleasant humor, he determined
to post back to the house and send the
rascal adrift. When he entered, he found
him still engaged with the pipe and mug
of cider.
4,Oh, you coot-vor-nolting, lazy, cheet'
in, tam Yankee rascal, you!*' said the
Dutchman, stepping fiercely towards hirr.
and shaking his fist in his face; *4vat you
mean, hey?"
"Dont be in a passion," coolly answered
the Yankee.
"Not pe in a bassion! hey!" said the
Dutchman with increasing rage?4*not pe

much as I blease?and I'll send y?u adrift
apout your own piziness, fery quick too.
I'll not keep zucli a vellow on my bremishcs?not
I?zo you may bick up your
tuds and clear yourself out pefore I preak
your dam head." The enraired Dutchman
seized a chair, and was about sitting the ac
lion to the word, when the Yankee reminded
him of the contract. Pulling the
paper from his pocket, he said?
"1 have a right by virtue of this instrument,
underyour own hand, to smoke and
drink cider, "now and then," and so long
as I go according to the contract, you
have no reason to find fault. Now, as you
perceive, I smoke,*' giving a few leisurely
puffs; "and then, as you perceive, I
drink cider,** lifting the mug to his mouth
and taking a hearty swig. "And "ivow
1 smoke again?and so on?all according
to contract.*'

' Very well," returned the hired man,
"I am not bound to do more than is specified
in the contract. I merely "smoke
and drink cider now and then; and if now
and then takes up all the time, it's no fault
of mine, you know?it's strictly according
to contract."
"De ty vel take de contract, and you too
?you tarn Yankee rascal! Put I'll let

Schquire Gobble to reteh himself hero in

"fftom, I My," permitted the Dutchman
?"retch the Shquire here fortnait?I'll

Brom wee accordingly despatched for
the Squire, who came, and after wisel>
considering the matter, was of opinion
that the Contract was good?that the
Yankee went strictly according to the let-1
ter?- and that the letter and the spirit
were one and the same thing.
"Den he has got round me arter all,

expression of the deepest chagrin?"I

Vel, you Mister hired man, rat smokes and

"Very well," said the hired mam "1

dollars and I will throw you in the
board and smoking &c."
The money was collated out, and the
Yankee, putiing it safely into bis pocket,
shouldered his pack and departed. The
next day the Dutchman was very much
surprised to find his m.mey returned, accompanied
with the following letter written
from the neighboring town, which'
with the help of Squire Gobble was found,
to read thus:

They fought with rifles, and Mr. Cilley was shot

" Mr." Graves had boon the bearer of a lotter from T

reason, which Mr. Cilley declined giving. Mr.
Graves then challenged Mr.ClLREY, which produced J
the melancholy result we announce."
The Sun Treasury Scheme.?All the light xvhich

Messrs. Calhoun, Clay, Webster, Wright [

of tlicir rcsposibilities. But to the associe
on tlic matter was worth a trial. The slightest
