key in the place indicated, and returning, told U*« aheikh, gave hfm many thanka and apiece of moo«*y. Sheikh Yateney, aa he waa in fnture general* ly called, went heme in the ev&ntng quite delighted, and thanked hi* wife for hergwod counael. Next day he retsrned full of donbt and hrdtiUea to hie poet, and was oanealted almost a* eoon a* •eated «boat the Ion* of aome eitk Fortune wae good to him again. He gave adrice, and it chanced that again it waa good. And ft he went on many day* and It alwaya happened that what be mid am* right. Provide nee seemed to take a pleasure In carrying out all hi* prediction*, mad be hnmbied hlmaelf before Alia and declared daily that Mohammed wa* really hi* prophet.

But bad are the calculation* of maa. Before a month wae over, Yateney would willingly never have been born, and thooght bimaelf the mo»t miserable man In usnteoce. He wa* eealed one morning in the bazaar a* neual, looking out complacently for client*, bh clothe* no longer ragged, but *tfll

earing hi* pumpkin, which was, an to epeak, hla eijgn, when four grim janlsnaries came up, aeteed him somewhat ro^xhiy, and took him before the pnahs of the province.

Yateney," said the pastia to him, 1 have beard of thy reputation for wisdom. Now, last night a band of robbers entered my palace and etrlpped my treasure. Thou mnct recover it for me, and In aeven days. If thou doet not, thon shalt !o»e thy head.'*

Yateney bowed hi* head, and went out lamenting. When be rtached home he threw hi* pumpkin on the floor, seated himself beside it, and heaped ashee on his bare skull. "lama ruined man! a lost man! Why wasl born? Mohammed is not the prophet of God. I will sustain this before ail the Ulema* la the world." 'What Is the matterf* asked his wife gently. 'Out of my sight, vulture! ghoul!' exclaimed Lefgoim, furiously, at the eame time beetlng her. 'It I* your fanlt that I dm about to die. Yon wish to mairy again, do you?' 'But, my dear husband,' cried Fatima, when his first moment of rege was passed, 'explain to me what it tlte matter.' •The matter, unhappy wretch! ki seven days I simli h«*e my he«d cut off."

Then he got up and took out of a seek seven beans, one for each day be had to live and toward* evening, after having bemoaned his bard fal^all day, swnUowed one, crying out a* he did so,

There goes one." Now it happened that at this moment thete wa* passing in the street one of the band of rouber* ww hod pillaged the pasha'* treasury. He knew tlte reputation of the ebeikh and ae he aald theee worda in a loud tone, "There goes one," he thought himself recognized and ran away to tell bis associates, who, at the news were much alarmed. They held counsel what to do, bnt could come to no conclusion. However, it was determined that the next evening another of the robbera should go within sight of Sheikh Yateney's house, and judge for himself, lie did so just about dark. At his window sat the unfortunate man and as .the robber pasted, he JUMJlowed iuuthfr,bean, and exclaimed, ,**»

There goes a seCond." Terrified, conscience-stricken, the thief fled, and repeated what he had hoard, to his companions. They decided that another should try the third day, *nd so until the whole party had tried the experiment. As, however, precisely the same thing occurred during six days, (he rubbers became eo greatly alarmed, that they came In a body to the sheikh, implored mercy, and gave up to him the whole of the treasure.

Yateney gravely observed that he knew all along that they were the guilty persons, but before denouncing them be bad resolved to try what conscience wonld do. Thereupon they swore by the Prophet and the beards of their fathers that they would rob no more and on this solemn assurance, Sheikh Yateney allowed thorn to depart The next day be went before the pasha, told him that he had recovered his treasure, and desired hitn to send his janissaries for it. The pasha did so, and then gave him a handsome reward. Yateney delighted, went home, told his wife alt, ami thanked Uod he bed a partner so full of wit as to put such au idea in his head. But he determined to go the Btuaar no more, content to live on the pasha's liberality.

But Ihetjestlny of Efen Lefgoim was not fulfilled. IIis desire for rest could no more be satisfied than that of the dove which went forth from the ark end found nothing but water. There happened at Starnbool (Constantinople) a very grave affair. A treasure plaoed In the onltau'a seraglio was most Inexplicably robbed, and the richest being principally diamonds and precious stones, the grief of the monarch was very greet. The event wae rumored about through all Islam, and the Pasha of Damascus, hearing of the clWsnmsUnce#, sent word to the sultan that there waa a man In Cairo who eoutd discover the authors of the robbery. The sultan Immediately sent orders that Yateney should be sent under good eecort to Stambool.

Yateney was furious when be heard he had to so to Constantinople, and for what purpose. He was like a madman, and uould express his outraged (tilings in no other way than by beating hi* wife, which he did more severely than the first time. Then, aa it wae impossible te restot an order of the •ultau, he eet out for Stambool, taking with him hi* wife, and an escort of janissaries.

As lie went along Yateney declared continually that it waa all over with him, that ho wae a ruined man. Arrived in eight of Stambool his grief grew

greater still, and when he landed his heart quite ailed him. He accordingly hade the janissaries go forward, and say that he had arrived, hut conid only teach the palace next day. His object was to gain cite day more of life. He then ereeted his teat on the shore,and remained alone with hi* wife.

The reputation of the sheikh had spread throughout ail Stambool, and his arrival had alarmed all the robbere in the place. They trembled leet th« all ebouid be discovered. But the real robbers of Uw seraglio were chiefly frightened. They had been on the ere of embark lug with their prtae, whau they were euddeoley prevented. To wait» better opportunity, they had buried their treasure on the enndy shore on the very epot Yateney had pitch«4 ht* ttot.

This put an end to all hesitation oi the pert of the thlefee- They rushed te Yateney* threw themselves at his feet, begged hie forgiveness, and ImpieMd blot net to deaounee tftem to the pot

Yateney made a etmllar reply to thet be had mede te the seven thNsvee of Cairo, and retired to rest contented nod happy. Next day when the raeemw mt ttw eafeeacwBse, be asetelmwd, **it is act my place te ge to tbe eultan, bat bit I® aawha Oft. The treasure to here."

Uncle Bill

Or How Blttle* (got hie Wlfcl^

L'ocls Bill Griffin, or Dade Bill, be oommonly called, with an irreverent disregard of bis patrooyoiic, did not retire from tbe ship chandlery business till he waa worth something more than a plum. Not being blessed with a son to coraiuue bis name or inherit hit fortune, be lavished all bis care and attention upon his daughter.

Sweet Molly Griffin, thoa wert as unlike thy papa as a canary bird is unlike a bull dog. Mis face was a Dutch nut cracker —thine as soft as a rose leaf. He was the veriest miser in all creation—thou didst *pend thy pocket money as liberally aa a Prince of Wales. In bis household management Uncle Bill was a consumate skinflint: tradition says that he uted to soakthe backlogs in tbe cistern, and water the lamp oil and he waa,aided and abelled in all bis stingy schemes by a vinegar fnced housekeeper. who was the sworn enemy of all good cheer, angl stinted from a pure love of meanness. Yet pretty Mary had oo reason to complain of her father's penutiousness, as far as the was concerned. He sent her to the best schools, and gave her a carte blanche of tbe most expensive miliiner*. and when she walked Washington street of a sunny day. there was not a more gaily bedecked damsel from Cornhill to Essex street.

Of course, several very nice young men in varntshd leather and white kids, fell over head and ears in love with her, and there was a larger number of whiskers collected outside of the meeting she attended on Sunday than darkened the door of any other metropolitan ohurch.r* let ©ld WM the auU, sad though fegSoa* advanced, AU itrtUed lo Orkli&a art, m&j Thoogh the? Uagotehnd and etfed. profenrted and daaeefff Like shadow* tbsv eame, aad like shadows they glsaeed From tbe par* poUshel lee at her heart.

Besides Uncle Bill was a formidable guardian to his attractive daughter. Did he not tire a charge of salt rock into the expressibles of Tom Bilkins, when he came serenading with a crack guitar. Didn't he inreaten to kick Towle for leaving a valentine at his door? Wasn't he capable of unhead atrocities? The suitors of pretly Mary were all*frightened off by her father, except one steady young fellow who rejoiced in the name of Sampson Bittles, and was addicted to bpok keeping in a wholesale grocery store on Commercial street.— The old man really liked Bittles. he was so staid, so quiet, and so full of information.— He was a regular price current, and no man on 'Change was better acquainted with the value of slock. Why Mary liked him it is more difficult to conjecture for he was very deficient in the small talk that young ladies are so fond of. was averse to mustachios, disliked the opera, thought the ballet immoral and considered waltzing indelicate.

Perhaps hifc good looks compensated for his other deficiencies, or perhaps her horror of dying in a state of single blessedness in'iuced her to countenance the only man Uncle Bill was ever known to tolerate.

One evening Bittles screwed up his courage lo the task of addressing the old man on the subject nearest his heart. ••Mr. Grirtin," said he, "I've had something here along time,' and he made a horrible face and placed his hand somewhere near hia heart. 4^ &« mm •Dyspepsia?' said the old man. •Yourdaughter,' said the young one.

HVell, what about her?' asked Uncle Bill, sharpishly.

4lt

'I'm in love with her*,^ said tfie unhappy clerk. 'Humbug!' said Uncle Bill •Fact?' rejoined Bittles. 'What's your income?' inquired *Grifliin. 'Eight hundred,' answered the supplicant.

MA,

Bittles disappeared.' Six months after that Miss Mary Griffin received a letter with an endorsement of Unole Sam, acknowledging the receipt of forty cents. It ran thus:

Mary, as to doty bound, named the epistle to her father, who was overjoyed. Some weeks elapsed, and the return of the steamer in New York was telegraphed. Grilfin was on thefwi et«* to see his future son-in-law.

The day of hts expected arrival, he met Canfort»ian,who came heme in tbe same ihip. ^-Where's Bittles!" lie enquired. "Oh ho, you'll see him before ft greaJ while replied the CaiiforniaQ. ••Has he been lucky!" "Yes—fifty thousand at thelowest calculation. Bui W# going to try a game over you.

•Sampan Bittles.* said Uncle Bill cub"brngty, -If yoo'v- nbt jfot fiby thousand dollars. you deserve to have it—you've worked bard enough to gel it. You shall have my daughter, and the marriage shall be o»lebrated to morrow night. In anticipation of yoor return. ^1 have bad you published and while your talking witb Mary, 1*11 draw a cheek for 86"f. »00 so that you may go Into partnership with a sufficient capital.* 'But, sir I am a beggar.' 'So much the better—you 11 work tbe harder to increase your fortune.* 'My dear eir bow can I thank 'you.* *By making my daughter a good husband. There—go—go—and tell fiary the news.'

Bittles did tell her the news, and they were married. He went into business on the fifty thousand furnished him by his fath-er-in-law and was so extraordinarily prosperous, that Uncle Bill was more convinced than ever that tbe story was a regular Munchausen. Once or twice be tried to repeat it, but the old gentleman cut his speech short with: '1 know all about it. Had it put in tbe papers too eh? O. it was a terrible affair! Lost your all! Poor fellow! Well 1 will make it up to you—and now 1 wont hear another word about it.'

When Uncle Bill departed this life, his immense property was found to be equally divided between bis daughter and son-in-law, the testator bequeathing to the latter hia share to compensate him for tbe loss he sustained on his his return from California.

*WA story or Leap Year.

As he left the room Miss Jones entered, and with a composed air intimated that she would wait. Miss Jones was a firm believer in woman's rights, and now that the season was propitious, she determined lo lake advantage thereof, and do a little courting on her own hook. It was one of woman's privileges, which had been usurped by the tyrant man, and she was determined to assert her rights in spite of the hollow formalities of a false, system of society

Sam Smith sat at home on New Year's day in dishabille His beard was unshaven, his hair uncombed, his boots were uiiblacked. aqd he was leaning back in a picturesque attitude, with his heels against the mantlepiece, smoking a cigar. Sam thought to himself, that it was le«fp-year. and how glorious it would be if the ladies could be induced to pop the question in accordance with their ancient privileges. As he sat watching the smoke which so gracefully curled, his fancy glowed with the idea. How delightful it would be to have the dear creatures fondling on him, and with their tender glances endeavoring to do the agreablel— As he meditated bis heart softened, and he began to feel a squeamish, womanish sensibility difTuse itself over his feelings, and thought he would faint with propriety »h* first time a young lady should squeeze bis hand .Rap, rttp: rap, sounded at the door. Sam peeped through the Veuetian blinds. ••Mercy," exclaimed hs, "if there is'nt Miss Jones, and I all irt dishabille, and looking like a fright—goodness gracious! I must go right away and fix myself.

Meanwhile with a palpitating heart, Sam Smith went throagh a series of personal adornments. The last twist was given to his collar, the last curl to his whiskers, and with white cambric in hand, he descended to the parlor. Miss Jones rushed to receive him, and grasping his hand with fervor, said: "Dearest, how beautiful you look," accompanying her words with a glance of undisguised admiration, "Spare the blushes of a modest young man," said Sam, applying the cambric to his face to hide his confusion. "Nay my love, why so coy?" said Susan "Turn not away those lovely eyes, dark as the jet. but sparkling as the diamond. Listen to tbe vows of fond affection.1 Here let us ret," said she drawing him to the sola "here wilh my arm around thee will I protest my affection." "Leave me, oh, leave me," murmured Sam, -think of my youth, mr inexperienoe —spare me, oh. spare my palpitating heart.' "Leave thet." said Susan, pressing him Closer to her "never ootil the story of restless nights, of unquiet days, of aspirations, fond amotions, and undying love is laid before thfee Know that for years I have nursed for thee a secret passion. Need 1 tell bow each manly beauty moved me, how I worshiped like sunflower in the lurid light of those scarlet tresses how my fond heart was entrapped in the meshes or those magnificient whiskers how 1 was willing to yield up to the government of that imperial thy aranoera so modest, so delicate enchanted me—joy to me—lor thy joy waa my joy,— My heart is thine—take it—but^Brst IftiM snatch one kiss from those ruby lips.

Petrifying Foantnln.

One of the most curi tun sights at Claremont, Switzerland, is what is vulgarly called Ihe petrifying spring, in Faubourg St. Alyre. This is a fountain which contains so large a portion of carbonate of lime, so as to incrust. in a very short lime, any object plaoed within it. In the course of ages it has formed a bridge of turf of great length and thickness, at the rate of three inohes annually. The Water is oollsctsd in (wo tank*, from which it drips in to

VVe beard a friend relate the accompanying incident the other day, with not a little test and to the amusement of a good many bystanders.

Jumping into an old fashioned stage coach last month, in company with nine others to jostle over ten miles of unfinished road between Pittsburgh, and Philadelphia,' 1 was very much amused with the following characteristic dialogue between a regular question-asking down eaMer, and a uighherlwl southerner.

We were scatcly seated before the Yat»» kee began— •Traveling eaat, I expect!* 81, air. •Goin' lo Philadelphia, I recitotsF 'No, str.* ^#.5 'Oh, ah to New York, maybe?' •Yes, atr.' ,'Calc'latin' to buy goods, I presume?*^ •No sir.' 'Never itn there before I wouldn't won* tor •No, wr, "never.* 'New York is a wonderful place.1 •Suoh is my impression, sir. •Got letters I expect.' '. ^, 'Yes sir: I am provided with letters ol in troductlon.'

Wouldn't mind showin* you round myself a spell. if you wanted.' •I thank you. sir, but I shall not require your assistance.'

This last remark of the reaerved but piv lite stranger was a poser the inquisitor feil baok a moment to take breath and ohan^e his tactics. The half suppressed smile upon ihe faces of the othAr passengers soyn aroused the Yankee to still further ex««r tions and summonsing up more resolution he began again •Stranger perhaps you *re not awars how almighty hard it ia for a ankoo to control his curiosity. You'll please excuse mw but I really would like to your name and residence, and tho business you follow. I expect you ain't awhamed of neither of 'em so now won't you just oblewgo me?'

This last appeal brought our southern friend, who riting up to ihe extremes height allowed by the coach, and throwing back his shoulders, replied •My name is General Andrew Washington. I reside in tho State of Mississippi,— I am a gentleman of leisure, and I am glad to be able to say, of extensive means. I have heard much of New York, and I am now on my way to see it and if I line it as well aa I am led to expect—l intend to— buy ill

Then there was a about of stentorian laughter throughout the Stage ooach and this was the laat of/Aa conversation!'

I he Cincinnati Gazette refers to tlie* fact that the number of reported cases of hydrophobia has been unusually large the present season, and comments on the *ubject as follows: •Now, that public attention haa bean called to the subject of hydrophobia, ii may interest aome 10 know that an ingeneous theory is held by some medical men, which rejects the idea that the madness of the biter has any effect on the madness of the bitters, and affirms that hydrophobia, ia us likely 10 result from the bite of a dog in perfect health, aa from one that is mad. Their chief reaaona are, that the effects of aU oilier poisons are certain and determinateno other poison can be reoelved into the system with impunity—yet hundred of persons have been bitten by dogs unquestionably mad, and no evil effects have followed. Instances have been known where a soore of persons have been bit severally by the same dog, and only one has been afTeoted by hydrophobia. So also many persons hav« died from hydrophobia, whero the animal" by whom they were bitien were nevor known or suspected lo bemad. Other poisons have a specific time within whioh their operations begins and ends—in hydrophobia Ihere'is no such definite periods—in aome esses the effeot shows iiseif immediately— in others, not till the lapse of month* and even years.

Ten animals—the dog. wolf, fox, and cat the horse, ass, mule, eow sheep and pig are all whioh are said lo be susceptible ni' this disease while the first four only are said to be able to .communicate it. These four have teeth of a similar form, capable of making a deeply punctured wound

From these facts, the conclusion lia* been drawo that hydrophobia is a species of Utanui, resulting from the nature of the wound, and not from any poison injeoted into it. Tetanus, or look jaw, often results from wound made by a pointed iustru meat, like a nail, in tbe hand or foot, and the aame reauit has followed c^her ingtmes to the nerves. The two diseases «oem to bear a general resemblance. th are spasmodic, both effect the muscles of the throat, and both are attended with the same excitement of the nervous system, -**&•<
