Coi'simso.— Acountry gentlemen lately arrived at Boston, and immediately to* paired to the house of a relative, a lady who had married a merchant'0/ that city, Tho parties were glad to sco him, and invited him to make their house his homo, as he declared his intention of remaining in that city only a day or two. The husband of tho lady, anxious to show his' attention to a relative and friend of his wife, look the gentleman’s hor*o to a livery stable m Hanover street.

“Livcl” exclaimed Selim—and every drop of blood waa qnickenctl in his veins, “and live for thee!”

| "Prove, then, thy (innocence!” cried Amurath. I‘I a wear by the golden buckle of the Prophet, if thou wilt; reveal tho namo of the supposed offspring of sovereignty, and placo heir in par power, I will freely pardon thy past offences, restore thy forfeited honors, and. give thco, even this day thy plighted bride." . ■ | Selim folded his arms'resolutely pVer his breast.

; "Very good," said tnd itahjo keeper, J v 'I understand you," : Accordingly, in a short time, the country gentleman went to the stable.arid ordered his horse to ho got ready.’ Thb til!, of course, was presented to him.

"Tho wilderness is my empire!” replied Solyman—“the heavens my uannpy, ami tho rock my throne, I would uni exchange my sovereignty for the diadem of the East.”

My slighted . mercy shall turn to yengeanco japw! -Tho hoar of relenting 'is; past, ’iliy fato shall' tell, to after ’ages ot (the ingratitude of favorites and the just ice of kings.” ‘ . Selim bent his head in token of submission. Amurath,,ordered him to be ihncklod in bis presence, that the scone of jiis glpiy' might also bo that of his degradation. Then, after, a I resit ebullition of rage, he commanded the guards-to.bear him to his cell,, -.

“0." said thegentleman, "Mr.—*my relative will pay this.”

"Very good, sir," said tho stable keeper, "please to get on orderfromM—, it will bo the .sain'd as. money;” * The horse was put tip ; ngain, and down went tho. country gentleman" to Long Wharf, where the merchant kept. "Well,” said ho, *T am going now," . "Are you?’* said thageritlorilan, "ijejl, good-bye, sir."' , ' J

Selim ?aw him depart to Ids mountain home with feelings-of admiration and regret. There was a fascination iri the. wild majesty of his cliaracter, and tho.intentity pf hia fraternal lovo bound trim to his heart with strong and holy ties. ‘ Ho never forgot that ho owed his present happiness and grandeur to'liis magnanimous spirit and powerful arm. • ,

‘ "I would' purchase ■ thy life With tlio blood of thousands,” sho wildly exclaimed, and, sinking on her knees before him.' she locked her bands in the agony of snpplicaiiori. "I pray thco but to live; what is tho ivorld to me? - He claims not blood; ’tis but a name ho asks* and yet that simple, word thou wilt withhold, even at the sacrifice of Zcrah’a lifel”- ■, . “Zorah!” he cried; “in Allah’s: name forbcar! , Thou kuqwcst not what, thou askest." ; ■

"Well, about my horse ; the man said tho hill must bo paid for Ins keeping. 11 . "Well, I suppose that is all right, sir " "Yea—well, bill you know I'm your wife's cousin." r ' '

United to' tho. beautiful Zerah, now the acknowledged representative of a race of kings, he -ruled xvitb a’.golden sceptre over the hearts of his subjects, who gave him tho glorious title of Just—the Magnificent."

ijcrah gazed earnestly for a moment in Her'lover’a f«w, then rising from liar kneeling nttUmle, oVciy feature of her face changed in its expression.' The look of intonso anguish niiiUiitrealy resolved into that of cold,‘settled despair. ‘;"Tlie troth hasi’entered my; heart," she said, and her late faltering voice was firm and distinct. - *vi*hou‘ Invest this orphan daughter of a kingly’.race.- Thou hast pledged thy falsa vows to Zerah, while thy heart is givcn’.to her. who dwells in thy secret power.

— Jealousy may bo either base or honorable, tender or ban!; soft and gentle, or wild and ungovernable.It is a compound passion, regulated by character and circumstances.- Tha man .who realty loves will .ha jealous of his-.wife’s 'honor,;,and take care that it shall not be through any. conduct of fils that ihc.shall: he tempted to make, him jealous.-/. A moaqer-sbiiled man doubts good being in others,• because ho has no corresponding-emmiomt of the kind in himself. The jealousy of this man is shockingly mean and sorbid—If begins in distrust and ends in crime, : The jealousy of the other, originating in affection, when the.woman is a pure-minded one, terminates in - unboiinded confidence,: But in a general sense, the feolipgiw a debased ami: debasing one. it corrodes thu hearts of allbut lho positively great.

Yet it mast bo said for the jealousy of woman, (bat it springs from nffcclibn, and, until man allows her bettor education ah facilities ami. improves .upon his own, that it is rallier ah evil of a coirectivOithan' o vicious ,nature; It is .Vsentinel, keeping watch/at'tliQ door of a fair mansion, to givo warning of ; tho approach of, an insidious fee. ; ; ' - *,

\ A damp and noisome dungeon, feebly lighted' by the rays, which struggled through the: grated walls ‘ was now the abode of the late magnificent Selim—sad proof of. tho, evanescent nature of all earthlyglory. But there is a moral brightness, transcending : the noonday beams, which can throw over the darkest hour of human suffering (he radiance of heaven.
