he would give a magniftoem marriage fea^t, u%od him to do likewise. Once lie looked with pleaaere on a young person of not too tender years, whoie parents purposely preseute^ her labimj but haviig asked in a whisper whether she would like to marry a withered old gentlemen like himself, she frankly confaaaed a preference hk handlome young clerk, Harms, who earned a hundred piastres a month. Fadlallah laughed philosophically, and took csro that the young Couple Should be married under happy auspices.
One day he was proceeding along tho street gravely and slowly—.surrouudedl bf ft tmmber of merchants proud to walk by his side and followed by two or three young men, wiw pressed near in ordor to be thought of the,company, and thusestahlNh thejr credit—when an old woman espying him, began to cry out, "Yeh, yoh! thitli the man who has no wife find no child—this is the man who is going todiaand leave his fortune to be robbed by his servants, or confiscated Uy th© governor!— Anq yot he has a sagacipMiojp'V^tJie Orientals have observed that there windam ih no«e)—and beard as long as my back!

FitdUllah bahan stopped, and retorted, smilingr 'Veh, yeh! this is the wom^n that blames an old man for not marrying a young wifq. Yeh, yeh, what a wonderfbl sight to see!' t*
Then the woman ^plied, *0 my lord, every pig's tail curls not in the same direction, nor does every maiden admire the passing quality of youth. If thou wilt, I will bestow on thee a wife, who wiM love thee as thou lovest thyself, and serve thee as the angels serve Allah. She is more beautiful than any of the daughters of Beyrdwt, in her name is Seinna, a name of gool augury.'
Thefrionds of FadUllab laughed, as did the joung men Who followed to their wake, and urged him fo go and see this peerless beautv, if il were only for a joke. Accordingly, he toll tW'woman to lead the w»y. But she said he must mount his mule, for they bad to go eome distance into the country. He mounted and, with* single servant went forth irom the gates-—tl»e woman preceding —aud rode until he reached a village to lhe mountains. Here in a poor little house he found Selima clothed in the very'commonest stylo, engaged in making divan cushions, $h« was a marvellously beautiful girl, and the heart of the merchant te« gan to yearn toward her: vet he endeavored to re strain himself, and said 'This taauuful thing ia not for me.* But the woman cried out. 'Selima, wilt thou content to love this old roan?1*" The girl gated in hie face awhile, awd then, folding her hands across her bosom, said, 'Yea. fhr there Is goodness in bis countenance.'

Fofttfoei however nowjmlled upon this unhappy family, and in sptfe of hii age. Fedfallah i»et out for Fars. (leaven made the desert easy, and the road abort for him.

After a vain aTteih|r to preserve incognito, the good old man lifted up his hands, end shouting ^Haiit my firat born!1' fell on the breast of the astooiahed slave. Sweet was the interview in the orange grove, sweet was the murmured conversation between the strong young man and the trembling patriarch, until the perfumed dfew of evening fell upon their' headsP^Halira liberty was easHy obtained and father aifd eonlretu rned in safety to Beyrout. Then the Weeping Chamber Was closed, and the door wailed up and fadlallah and Seliirm lived happily until age did its work at iheir appointed times? and Hatit and Miriam inherited the house and the wealth that had been gathered for them.
The supernatural part o6r stoty remains to be told. The W«oping Chain be was"never again opened, but every time that a death was atiout to occunn the family, a shower of heavy rear drops was heard to fall upon its marble floor, and low waitings came through the walled door-way. Years, centuries passed a way ft rid the mystery repeated itself with unvarying uniformity. The family fell into poverty, and only occupied part ofthe house but invariably before one of thd rriOmb^rs sickefled unto death, a shower of heavy drops as froth a thunder cloud, panered on the pavement of the Weeping Chamber, and was heard disUnely- at night trough the whole house. At length the family quitted the country iu search of ^better fortunes elsewhere, and the house remained for a long time uninhabited}'"
Th6 I4dy Wfid %arrn$d the "story went to live in the house and passed some years without being disturbed, but one night she was lying awake and distinctly heard the. warning shower dripping heavily in the weeping Chamber. Next day the news came of her mother's death, and she hastened to remove to another dwelling. The house has since (wen uttterly abandoned to rats, mibe, beetles, end and an occasional ghost seen sometimes streaming along the rain pierced terraces. No one has ever attempted to violate the solitude of the sanctuary where Selima wept for the seven little ones taken to the grave, and for the absent one whom shehad treated with unmotherly neglect. *faw3?
Ea*y, to Do, but Hard to Described Most men can kiss, probably, but it was reserved for an abstruse writer in the New Englander to collect the different modes in which tlie performers would define it, viz: fsk'lhe Naturalist:—A kiss is. the bringing i®t3 juxtaposition "two contrarily?charged "poles, by which it, like an electric spark, is elicited.
The Moralist:—-»A kisa Is the token of the most intimate communion of love« and is therefore only to be permitted in the married state.
Tlte^wiai^ (a host «rfih&mfy£«sA kHi Is an emblematicsl aetfon by which the bending of the heivuns to the eatth is destined to be symbolized.
Tho Philosopher —-A kiss ia thft protruding the circle of the lips, whereby the quantitative difference of the sine of one is placed in such' relation to the quantitative difference of the sine of another, uiftt thereby the identity of th® subject ol^eCt with the ideal real is proved.

The Physician:—A kiss is the art of so moving the labial muscles that the lips are first brought suddenly together, and then explosively separated so that, after all, a kiss tl only an artificial spasm.
The Philologist —Ki»s is an onomato-poetic word, in which the ourtnesa of the thing is represented by the brief sou ml of tho woril.
The Antfquarian:—Kissing Is a custoifh ^handed down to u# from the Greeks and Romans, as to thfc true signification of which we eri not perfectly clear. Probably,it. is symbolic of thesun's rays greehng the earth: and, if so» doubtless was received with all the.otherlore of sun\worship from the orientals.
