So is it with Koja. There | were men who hated and persecuted him in “li > ; life; hut. they are gone and all now join in la-: nieiitingTtliloitg separation from Lisa. The meeting of the two lovers was acddcutal. j One morning. Lisa, who began to find the wo- j. men's apartment, to which she had (teen con-j fined during, her father’s altsence at I tamaseus, somewhat dreary, asked Margota, her aunt, to j lake her forth, that she might wander on the | holders of the sea. The good old indy wnswefi • nigh struck dumb by the request. “All the saints bless thee I” cried she; “has a Marid (evil spirit) been whispering in thy ear? Why, here atn 1, at this'respectable age. I have lived all niy life long !\[ liny tout, r.ii ’ ::?tcr once h.ve I desired to go down to the water’s edge.” Upon this Lisa laughed, and told her mint the sto-.y of the dove who lived with the tortoise, and who one day expressed a desire to go ami eat diives on a hill that was almost out of sight. Tlic tortoise objected, and made a long speech to show the impropriety <>fj such a step ; but the dove Hashed round and round in the suulight, and replied, “My triend, you mean to say that you have no wings.” So, off she (lew. Margota understood from this that her charge would steal out aloue, or with one of the slave girls,to satisfy her wish ; and with many grumb ling* began to get Heady, first putting on a veil as thick as a towel, then an ample gowu of yellow silk, and then a black cloak like a domino. Af terwards she wanted to take all off again to don j her yellow boots in greater comfort; but Lisa. | who had disguised herself iu five minutes, would j not allow such delay, and calling to Zarifeh, the j slave girl, went down into the court. Margota followed grumbling at her wilftilness ; and so they went forth into the narrow streets, and pro ceeded iu the direction of the sea. Instead of goitigdown to the port, always full ‘ of noisy Greek and Arab sailors, they look a cir cuitous direction, and readied the waters edge about a mile outside the town. “It is a beauti ful evening,” said Lisa “Very cold,” quoth Margota, shivering; and indeed a sea breeze was blowing gently in their faces, tuid making their silk garments flutW as it passed. The water, however, faroot, seemed as placid as the blue heavens above; whilst near at hand studl waves or rather .ripples, came creeping up the sandy bench n few inches, and then retreating to return •gain with a rustling sound. Lisa took off her •hoM—aha had no stocking*—and ran out to try and eat eh what seemed to her floating diamonds —etac-Mk that •cmpoWng themselves newthe surface, now aefnadtft&now contracting, ’ god ever Imping oat of reach of her hand.

See how the sail swells and bends. But she is not afraid. Site stands ! tip clapping her hands; her veil is fluttering; and the stranger is worshiping her face.” Margota could see nothing of all this; but be gan wringing her hands, for she knew how tcr- J rible would be the anger of the father when he j heard of what had taken place. The matter, ■ however, was not so serious as she and Zerifeh, j had at first feared. Lisa, on going out along the | rocks, had seen a boat floating near the other j side, with'a young man seated in it. In the East when once tlie formal rules of propri-1 ety are disregarded, nature shows itself! in its utmost simplicity. Withoftt mean- 1 ing any harm, Lisa called out, “O.young boats-1 man ! ibis is the first time 1 have seen the sea ; 1 ; and I long to ride foroue half-hour ou it bosoms. I j Take me with thee.” Koja—for it was he—looked up listlessly.— j He had been sailing about all day, ’endeavour ing to divert his thoughts from themes which j trouble youth, and when the wind had fallen, i had suffered his boat to-float, where it listed just j i giving now and then a sweep with the oar, more from habit, than design. Thus ho found him-’ seif in that place; and was brought face to face with Lisa. He complied mechanically with her request, wondering who this maiden might he who was thus out by herself, against all the cus toms of the country. His fancy suggested that it might he a spirit. She stepped lightly on | hoard when the boat floated up to a projecting j ledge ; and when the iit'.ly mast was shipped, • amfshc lirgantn tiT'i tllelhmy craft glide away j j from shore, everything was forgotten hut the de- i | light of the moment Margota. and Zarifeh, and ! Iter father's displeasure-revturthing was forgot- I ! ten but the delight of thus passing along like a I shadow over the- purple waters in the light of the I ; setting sun. Perhaps, too, company so new to! j her, a handsome youth, who gazed upon her j with a bewildered look of admiration, and who I j seemed silently to entreat her not to notice that j the breeze had unveiled her, and that she, whom | no strange man ever beheld, was pouring love ! j into his heart — perhaps this was the chief cause | <>f forgetfulness. - Love at first sight is common in the East—where Ix'iuity can rarley he marked ; for a longer space of time than a fitTling star takes jto shoot, across one quarter of the heavens. Be ! fore the shrill erv of Zarifeh came from the shore, i Koja loved Lisa, and Lisa loved Koja, and the l destiny of the one became indissolubly united with that of the other. i When Zarifeh called out in the strange wail ling voice common to her people, Lisa said to ] her lover. “We must return ; and we must part. i’Hris is the flower time of our lives ; afterwards | j will come the withering sun of adversity.” Koja i ; took her hand and placed in it a ring, and said, ‘ I “If we must part, keep this token. We rnnv I ; never meet again; but it will be a means of communion. If good fortune is with me, it will retain its brightness ;if evil, it will dim. If I cease to love and the grave opens for me, it will liecome black.” Lisa wept at. the thought of ! Iter lover’s death, and took the ring. They ex changed no more words; and presently after wards the young girl leaped from the boat up on tbc extreme point of the rock and listened to the approach of her guardians. She did not reply to them, for her eyes and her mind were following Koja. who was sailing on towards the open sea—suit. out. towards the place where the 1 siiu had gone down —moving to and fro like a shadow-, for light was gradually fading, the sail growing gradually.dimmer and dimmer until the eye confounded it sometimes with the great white birds that were coming landward, flying low and wearily along the waters. At length it faded altogether, because night began to come rapidly on; then Lisa said : “l came down to the sea-side with a soul; now it is gone. This is only the form of Lisa. My soul is floating over the waters. Let us go home; the wind is chill, j and life’s heart has departed from ine.” j “ Woe I woe I” murmured Margota. “ The I master of that boat was a magician; and he ! Until cast a spell upon the girl. What have I | done !” _ So they returned to the house; and Lisa re-- maiued day after day lamenting the loss of her j soul; She knew that love, such as hers, was : destined in this world to bring unhappiness to those who suffered it. marriages among her people are not bused upon affection. A husband is chosen by the father, and the daughter is not j even asked if she can hope for happiness with . him. There was no chance that Kja would he selected ; for she knew he wiis of a different race, a race who worship|>ed God iu a different man* i ner, made bows and prostrations in the Church according to auother ritual, kissed the palm of the priest's hand instead of the tips of his fingers, and was alt“gethcr, therefore, au alien and an ’ enemy. She also knew that the merchant, her father, had quarrelled with the father of Koja for i the possession of a ship, so that there was a feud i between them. The idea of struggling against , law and custom never occurred to her; and she’ sat down inAhe chamber, which had appeared in l the morning sobright and cheerful, to nurse the ; j yeuug tore that bad beet) born, as sadly, as if tflfctffm** Was already open to receive it. - Hitherto led by in* father'* great s love which he had conceived would prove pokon to him: and he resolved at once to dissipate t bis energies in adventure: Nothonghtof rela t lions orfriends troubled him; and the narrator I <joe* not take tho trouble to form iijuttfflcatioft. r Passion is always selfish; and ail purisorvo , manners in the Eaet identify themselves with s AoiS Who yiekna it, andncTer dream thatjiuy c other duties have'a claim.

His heart was wholly occupied with Lisa, whom it seemed impossible he should meet again. The young girl was equally constant, and spent the chief part of her time in watching the ring which Koja had given her, to know wheth er it retained its brightness. Sometimes it dull ed a little; and as she wa* unwilling to believe in misfortunes, she reproached herself with want ; of care, and took soft linncti and rubbed it; hut it changed not by her efforts, obeying (he de- I parted one. This ring is not supposed to have ; been originally endowed with any miraculous 1 powers, but derived Its marvellous quality siin j ply from the intensity witli which Koja had wished for a means of communion with his belov ed one. j When the merchant returned from Damascus his first talk was of a husband for Liza ; but the 1 young girl, knowing there was but one means of escape, feigned madness, and went about the house with flowers and straw in her hair, sing ling wildly. Margota and Karifeh knew the ; cause of this, but they dared not reveal it; and so the merchant grieved and Liza remained a maiden, pitied by the whole city. Koja was for gotten, except by his father, who set up a ceno taph for him, and mourned over it for a whole day once a year —the anniversary of the day on which the youth had disappeared, floating away I in his bout towards the setting sun. j Time passed on ; and Lisa was no longer a ! young girl, but a fall grown woiqan, atill lienuti-1 !TuL; yd no longer sought iu marriage. She re i maitied in her father’s house; while her sisters, : who were mere children when the meeting with Koja took place, all found husbands,, and soon ! brought pretty babies for her to admire and | nurse. One night, after seven years had gone i to the past, the merchant happening to he sleep less, herd a voice raised in lamentation. So, lie ! got up and went in its direction, and found that j it proceeded from his eldest daughter’s room.— ; lie listened, and herd her saying : “Oh Koja I I and art thou near the gates of death I lias this ! sorrow overtaken, me ? Is my bridegroom about to he taken awav ?” The old man marvelled at these words, ami quietly raising the curtain that closed the room, beheld Lisa sitting on the car pet with a lamp beside her, holding a ring in the bright light, and shedding tears. “What is the sorrow of my daughter}” said he, gently. She looked up, without any expression of alarm or surprise, and replied : “Tho last hour is ap proaching, and 1 know not where he is or what are the means of protection.” Then she showed the ring, which had lost all its brightness, and seemed as if made of old copper. The merchant ! understood thatshc had nourished some secret 1 affection, and repented that he had not sought to j learn the reason of her madness. lie was not | very aged—his passions were less strong than of yore —his ambition weaker—his prejudices al most worn away ; and therefore, w hen Lisa told her story, he sympathised with her, and said: “Perchance the young man may yet live, for the ring is not yet black ; and there is no limit to the power and mercy of God.” As he spoke, the gold assumed a still darker hue ; and Lisa shrieked and fell senseless on the carpet. Now it happened that at this time Koja was returning with a caravan across the desert that separated Arabia from Syria. The simoom blew, and obliterated all signs of the track. The cara van wandered—water failed—death Iwgan its work. Kojo,’though hardened by much travel, suffered the extreme of thirst. Making a last eflbrt, he left tho caravan, and wandered away through the sand. Weakness came over him— he sank down, and there seemed no means of es cape. He thought of Lisa ; aud as lie felt death coining on, prayed to be united to her in heaven. Then he lost all memory and consciousness; and the ring darkened almost to an ebony-colour.— Death had indeed just stretched its hand overhim when a troop of maidens from an encampment near at hand, which had been concoaled by a hill, came by, on their way to search for some camels that had strayed. One of them saw the dying man and revived him at first by pressing her moist lips to his. Then she called to one of her companions who had a gourd, and sprinkled his face with water. Afterwards she made him drink. Then they took him up as if he had l>cen a child, and carried him to the tents, where he was tended all night by the women, while the men wont out to save the remnants of the cara van. It is needless to add that, before morning, the ring had almost resumed its brightness, and that the heart of Lisa was glad again. A fresh peril awaited Kja. The Bedouin girl who had saved him, loved him, and with rude simplicity, claimed from him, first, the sacrifice of his faith; and then, when he had told his Story of. his long-abiding passion, she could not understand that engrossing kind of attachment, urged her youth, ht attractions, her wealth, hat services, and even uttered, threats. Koja remain ed unmoved ; and at last Fatmeh said, “I will go with vou to that distant city, leaving my hi ther, and my fnendi. mkfatty jpontry. and team if ‘!<erebe absent for i - she"was 4 1H|K|y and perTapeW ■Hooped that death might, have made tM %vj clear for, heraelC Wonderful adventures bappeoed to thsm oa the road.

So, after a long period of suffering came a longer period of joy. Were men less divided into sects and classes, there might have been no materials for this legend. We must take tho world ns it is, how ever. n.df our miseries are of ouf own making; and some of tho finest qualities of humani ty are expended in overcoming obstacles to hap piness, which nature has not created.—House hold Words. A Bed Bug Story. The editor of the Grand Hirer Eagle gives the following as the experience of a friend stopping at the Kalamazoo House : You see, I went to bed pretty all-fired used up after a hull day on the old road before the plank was laid, calkalatiii’ on a good snooze.— j Waal, just as the shivers began to ease off, I kin- j j der bit sutliin’ Irvin’ to pull oil’ my shirt and ( diggin’their feet into the small of my hack to! get a good hold.

Bed bugs are curious critters and no mistake ; ’specially the Kalamazoo kind.’ .* A Goose Rtorv.— At the mill of Tubbcra keena, near Clonmel, Ireland, while in the possession of the late Mrs. Newhold, there was a goose which by some accident, was left solitary, without mate or offspring, gander or gosling. Now it happened, as is common, that the mil ler's wife set a number af Duck’s eggs under a lien, which in due course were incubated, and of course, the ducklings, as soon as they came forth, ran with natural instinct to the water, and the hen was in a sad pucker, her maternity urg ing her to follow the brood, and her selfishness disposing her to stop on dry land. In the mean while up sailed the goose and with noisy gabble, which certainly (being interpreted) meant, leave them to my care, she swam up and down with the ducklings; and when they were tired of their aquatic excursion, she consigned them to the care of tho hen. The next morning down came the ducklings to the pond, and there stood the hen in her great flustration. On this oeca sion we are not at all sure that the goose invi ted the hen, observing her inatcrhal trouble, but it is a fact that she being near the shore, the hen jumped on her back, and there sat, the ducklings swimming, and the goose and hen af ter them, up and down the pond. And this was not a solitary event. Day by day the hen was seen on board tho gooee, attending the ducklings up and down in perfect contenteducss and good humor, numbers of people coming to witness the circumstances, which continued un til the ducklings coming to the days of discre tion, required no longer the joint guardianship of goose and hen.— Our Drawer. Married Men.—So good was he that I now take the opportunity of making a confession which! have often had upon my lips but have hesitated to make from the fear of drawing up on myself the hatred of every married woman. But iiow I will run the risk—so now for it— sometime or other people must unburden their hearts. I confess, then, that I never find and never have found a man more loveable and more captivating than when he is a married man.

Report of the Board of Visitors of Griffin Fe male College to tho Trustees. The Board of Visitors selected and chosen lb perform the pleasing but delicate duty cf super intending the Examination of the Voting Lid: pupils of the Griffin Female College, f>r tin , First Term of the Collegiate course of i85•?.’ have discharged tho duties pertaining to tin; appointment to the test of their ability. In their course of examination they have en deavored to follow the wishes of the intelligent and learned gentlemen at the head of the Col lege. to avoid all unnecessary display, and give their attention altogether to the solid require ments of tlie pupil—to inquire minutely and critically into the proficiency the members of | the class have made iu the pursuit of their stu dies, leaving the adventitious tinsel <f display j to float by for what it is worth. \Ye might spread out this report > an iin j moderate length, and say much of g e, beauty j and accomplishment, for there wa- ii ample ■ field; hut with these things we have id nolh j ing to do, further than they affected tho acquire j incuts and learning us tho pupils before us. — j Scenic effect was no part of our aim or object. In the examination of the Senior graduating class, truth has been particularly our desire, and for this purpose we have been cautious, thorough and deliberate in our investigations, taking four days in the examination of this class aloud. In deed some of your Board were not heretofore entirely satisfied that the delicate and sensitive organs of the female mind had all the grasp, force, tenacity rmd -rigor of the Tnora TObUst in tellect of the masculine gender, and conceived this a most fitting opportunity to tisjt so impor tant a question ; which, they are happy to snv. they hare-solved, with entire satisiactaaig not only to conviction, but to actual demonstration. The members of this class, at least, if there be any lack, are exceptions. It, may tie as well to premise here, that the young ladies were not examined by rote in any of their studies. The hook was opened hupliaz ard, at the beginning, inidlc or conclusion,T and yet they were always prepared and ready with a correct answer. If it was in a. few instances otherwise, it arose from a misapprehension of the question, and not from a want of knowledge of the study. It may.also be stated that this examination partook rather of a private than a public charac ter, very few visitors, other tlmn the Board be- j ing present. This course was pursued at the suggestion of the learned Professors, Messrs. Morrow and Stanley, as being more favdrahlo to nn undivided attention and thorough exntnina tion of the pupils, in which opinion tho Board of Visitors fully concurred. ■’ This class consisted of Miss Mary C. Caldwell, Miss Martha A. Johnson, Miss Lizzie A. Stark, Miss Emma H. Lawson, Miss Fanny C. Gordon, and Miss Lizzie A. Williamson; the latter, from thickness, not being present at the examination. The examination coinm<need Monday, June 19th, in tho following studies and order: Gbammar. —The young ladies were well in structed in this very useful study. Every part of speech and every lesson in syntax, was as ready, clear and perspicuous in the minds of the students, as if they had been tho study of yester day, although the young ladies had paid no at tention to this study for many months previous ly, showing that the acquisition was not for an hour or a day, but for a life time.

Phtsioloot.—“The proper study of mankind is man.” These appropriate line* of the poet were fully exemplified in the ease and efficiency ■with which the examination in this study was gone through. If there was any gradation, il was from good to better, in the superior perform ance of the dass in their exemplification of the principles of this science. Thus dosed the first day’s examination—hon orable alike to teachers and pupils, and a feast of pleasure to the Board. It should be stated that none of the foregoing studies had engaged the particular attention of the dass for many months previous, not even to review them. The second day was occupied in the examina tion of the class in Natural Philosophy, Chemis try and Arithmetic.
