DELAQAGE. ,/ Idlien Delbks, the ,on of an old inerch pgris, living retired at Louviers, had receive called n brilliant education, that is to say, hi jit for eight years on the college benches, aoi Imd Mtde heroic efforts to retain a little Latin and Greek; tins Latin uud Greek enabled him too nnk endewland and write French quite well; a insult which, wltutever may be said en pastant, is sli fire that it proves our hero Imd not ulto^aihe lung sway Ids time.

Thus, as soon as the Dolbes lit nily •aterud the territory of suspicion of the futurt the psatest prudence presided over their cum net The father represented to tli'e young man, he a >uid M act wisely in prolonging his studies alreni ve ry expensive, and which, moreover, could not p om im him oven the most modest situation at tin nty lee; that although lie himself enjoyed an hone independence, yet he Imd lo provide for fuur^hil dren; each must, therefore, make some eflbft for himself. Julien understood this perfeedy ; his resalJtfon •as,therefore,quickly tuken. He began to know or rather to guess, the world. Medicine and the liw presented to hiip their chances of succesni pereptetive so remote, that his ambition and nope of more prompt advancement decided him lo fol low the snge advice of his parents and enter the toad of commerce. The well known probity of his father wns a pow orfui recommendation for him; so, al twen.y, Juli M found himself installed at Paris, with M. Hj ppo lyle Rnyiaon, a wholesale merchant, occupying the hshole street du Sentier. Born for cot •hose first elements his father had made k him, and unveiled its little mysteries, he hud ill the qualities requisite fur success ; discreet, without ‘apoaring an, ardent in buainess, skilful in akizing •|>on favorable chances, venturing and following up , Ws enterprises with so much perseverance, lie ae cured fortune on hia aide, and, above all hm> will, the young Deibea soon saw his 'MTOtedneas appreciated and recompense 1 at their value by his patron. But,doubly honest by nature and calculation, he •ished to marry to regulate hia life, nml to give wd of guarantee to society. A prui >m young jWMhalur, and, what it only a liulf evil, alitllo inter- |ah*l»d withal, he expected to Imve a more advanlug- and certain situation. Ho resolved the year ,\jhouh) not pass without realizing hia double plan, idmaell to work al it immediately.

Your devoted clerk.” The second treated his wertliy and respectable patron with still more gallantry ; to see him made Julian's lieurt thrill with peace uud love ; it was almost a msdriglit. Tiiu third began lo turn towards common sense ; at length Julien was rewarded for iiis perseverance with a few rea sonable lines. This grand work finished. Julien rcud it over, sealed it, and went quite vulgarly to confide all his hopes to tlie little neighboring post office. 1: wus not yet ten in tlio morning, and our impntient youth very imprudently resolved to spend this Sunday at homo awaiting r plies. Wo say very imprudently first, becauso the answers could not well reach him until tiie next dny, or luter still, or not at all ; and then because onn does not know lo wlmt de. gree of exaltation, a head given up to one idea, may roach. Happily, ambition and love participated in his ex pectation, and rendored it, is not so long, at least less dangerous. Julien saw himself by turns iho h ippy husband of a charming woman, a wholesale merchant in the rue de Sentier, the father of a family, an e'cclor, and captain of the nutiona! guard. Tlie moment the rnp was given, ho opened the >r und the porlo, handed him two letters ! Doub le happiness! Tito seals were broken with nn im patience not very philosophical, and Julien read al most al once : Mr Dear Fellow—I cannot visit you to day ; thu baby has caught a severe cold, which may be the hooping cough ; parental love keeps me at his cradle. Au revoir, then, a good appetite, and Imvc no grudge against me. Tlty friend, Theophile Chafotin.” The other: * Dbar Sir—The present is to inform you that we cannot, as we hud hoped until now, accept your amiable invitation ; my liushuad, who had to mount guard this morning, let his gun full on his corns, nod suffers horribly. You understand our difficul ty. Embrace Mme. Bonnurdot and her children for mo. Believe me, witli consideration, your ser vant, Clorindb Coquet'” The reading of these had been quicker than the thouguts of Julien ; his vivacity, too, had been so great, he never looked at the nddress ; as he was uhout to do so, the purler eulere.d out of breatli: "Monsieur Julian, Monsieur Julien, there is a mistake, here are yours; I gave you two letters uddressod to M- Bonnurdot, the tenant in the fourth story, who gives a grand dinner to day; my wife is even—aiding—in the conking.” "Alt!” said Julien, recovering from his surprise, •present my excuse to M. Bonnardot.” The porter retired, readjusting, and doing his best to seal the letter again, at the same lime pre puring an eloquent justification destined for the tenant of the fourth floor. The time Julien look- cd at the envelope with more attention, and recog nised the writing of his uncle and patron. He felt emotion returning ; his impatient ardor had been expended on M. Burnardot’s letters; he now hesitated ; love carried the day, he opened his uncle’s letter ; Mr Dear Nephew—I know that in every res- reel I can only prniae your conduct; I really be. ieve, as you assert, that Pauline would be happy with you ; I permit you even lo think she has told me nothing to tho contrary. But sliu is only elgll- teen, and you twenty-five ; so you could easily af ford to wait a year or two. Howovor, I will not conceal from you that your ago is only a trifling obstacle in my eyes ; your present position alone makes me act the role of a barbarous father. Yuu will readily comprehend that, desiring the happiness of you both, I neither wish for you or my daughter a precarious condition or uncertain fine. Therefore, every thing depends upon yourself: as soon as you are in a suitable station, Paniino shall he your wife. Adieu, I embrace you for her and for myslf. Celestinb Mimerel. The parental logic was so mild and just, Julien could nut disapprove of his uncle’s letter: his pat. run’s letter was still in his hand ; it would remove nil obstacles, at least he thought so ; his emotion increased. "My young friend," wrote M. Raysson,“I ap prove your modesty which calls that activity only which I call zeal for my Interests ; I have appre ciated, for the five years you have been in my house the readiness and tlie care you have tuken iu my affairs; 1 feel age coming on,and hove resolved to takoyou as my assistant. You shall lake my place during my absence and journeys, nnd your appoint, meul shull he ten thousand fiancs. You seo that I have thought of you ; but, my friend, you will also understand that I cannot give this place to an isolated young man in Paris, although I know your honor perfectly, and what is heller in my estima. lion, your probity, everybody would blame me. The place shall be at your disposul as soon as you are married. "Believe, that in other respects you inspire a liv ing interest in your friend. b M. Raysson." Never was perplexity equal to thul which Julien felt after the perusal or this .'oiter; ho repeated al ternately : , Marry, and 1 will give you an excellent place, And: Have a good place and I will give you my dough, ter. His impatience could not support his double dif ficulty ; ho hastened lo his uncle immediately- showed him his patron would give him a superb place, presented M. Rayssou’s letter; all was use- '"""No Julien," said his uncle, " no my determina tion is taken, firmly taken. See you, my dear boy, after you are married, this dear patron will put off your appointment from day to day—Iiis health will be belter; bo will feel his age less; he will not care to travel any more ; 1 do not believe much in promise , I hnvo made so many of them.

JANUARY 7, 1845. “It is decided, nephew.” Half despairing, Julien went to try to soften his patron, representing to him that he was going to be married, hut il was put off until ho had (.blamed u situation. ....... The poor young man had to encounter a will still more del' rminod Ilian his uncle’s. “Monsieur Julien, I wish to believe you ; but the place RiJeii, there would be delays on the part of the young man, who would want to enjoy a few more (Jam* perhaps month* of freedom ; then de. lave oVnra part of the family I what do l knew J l|ll ^jqBfiicU f mwww. “My'frlend* the' condition fulfilled, the prouiee perforMed.^jt • T*'*n the thousand thoofHl* which formected in Julien’. bMd after those interview., would be to run a tbou.and d.nger.

This fury a little calmed, thu tiiuuglit of composing It- mentnble epistles capable of touching the hearts of Ilia inflexible uncle and his barbarous patron He was going lo give himself this useless consolation, when one ol Iiis friends, Frederick Chagot enter ed. ■All, ca.l’ said tlie latter, ‘one is not particular witli Iiis friends, this is not very new, nor very much consoling.

A few weeks after, he wns at home, gaining strength which lie had not Inst, and feeling a little uneasy about Chagot’s plans, when he received a letter from ins patron, very different from that which had driven him to despair. Judge of iiis surprise when lie read : My Youno Friend.—i see with pleasure you have a heart set on preferment, a firm will is nev er an evil. I hope you will not have to repent of your piecipitate marriage; however I suppose your parents know well the person they have usso dated wilh your fate: From this day, I am ready to fulfil my promise. My compliments to your young wife. Your Iricnd Hippulyte Raysson.— Merchant, <J-c. Julien did not comprehend this enigma until the next day, when he received a letter from Frederic, giving him an account of Iiis operations, informing him that all Iiis acquaintances had been invited lu attend iiis wedding at Louviers, and now he could return to Paris. Eight days after, Julien returned to his patron; thanked him for his kindness, and told him that Iiis young wife, anxious to live wilh her parents, had persuaded them to come and live in Paris, and all would arrive together in a few days. Ho had been obliged to resign himself to this momentary separation. M. Raysson credited this fulsehood, and con gratulated him; then left all tlie cures of his busi ness to iiis young friend. Il need not be said Julien hastened to his uncle, und claimed tlie fulfilment of his promise. M; Mimmerel complained much because he had not seen him for a month ; but the change in his cir cumstances dispensed with all excuses. •My buy, I never suy hut one thing,’ said the un cle ; ‘when shall the wedding be V •Next week,’said Julien, who felt he could not deceive his patron much longer. ‘But the bans 7 You are ill a great!’ •Am l wrong 7 You took upon yourself the ar rangement of all that, and I am going to write to my father.’ M. Deibes was to arrive in less than two days, to sign the contract with Iiis brother-in law, when the latter thought he ought to lake his daughter and pay a visit Ue convenances to Julien’s patron. After the first indispensable compliments: •Permit me, Monsieur Raysson,’ said he, ‘to tliauk you for the honurahlo situation you have giv. en my nephew.’ Hu merited it; is a good young man, settled full of zeal and probity.’ •Your praises are addressed to his uncle 7’ ‘He should be the fi st to know what 1 think of him ; no one ever showed so much interest in my uffuirs.’ •I am so much tho more Aattered at what you have the goodness to tell me, Monsieur, as your words are so many assurances of my daughter’s happiness, who is lo become his wife.’ • Who is going to he—who is iiis wife.’ •Very nearly so, indeed, the ceremony is to he next week.’ •But the month ho spent at Louviers 7 The marriage on the 27th of August last V— I ‘What! a month passed at Louviers ! the fact is we did not see him that month.

Raysson held out Iiis hand to him, and promised to ho the first at Iiis wedding ; Pauline, lo punish her cousin for not having tu ken her into his confidence, wus tlie last to pardon him. Some days niter, Julian’s friends, whom Chngot Lad not initiated in the story, to their great astonishment re ccived a second invitation to attend his wedding. The explanation was given at the wedding-ban- qiiol.aiut greatly augmented the guiety which pro sided over it. E. P. Tiib Arab and iiis Horse.—An Arab and Iiis tribe luid attacked, iu tlie desert, the caravan of Damascus; tlie victory wns complute, and the Arubs were already occupied in louding their-rioh booty, when tlie troops of the pacha of Acre, coin ing lo meet this Caravan, fell suddenly upon the victorious Arabs, slew a great number of them, made the remainder prisoners, and having tied Item with curds, conducted them to Acre, in p e- sent them before the pacha, Abou el Marsel). Tire Arab of whom we spoke, had received u hall in Iiis arm during the combat. As Iiis wound ivas not mortal, the Turks had fuslened him on u camel, nd having obtained possession of Iiis liorso lod ofF hotii horse and horseman. Tlie evening before tlie dny on which they were to enter Acre they en cumped wilh their prisoners in tlie mountnins of Suphad *. thu wounded Arab had his legs bound by a leathern thong, and was stretched nenr the tent where the Turks were sleeping. During tlie night kept awnke by the pain of Iiis wound, he henrd^his horse neigh amongst the oilier horses fastened around the lent* according to oriental usngc. He recognised Iiis neigh, n,:d, unable to resist the de sire of speaking once more to tlie companion of iiis life, he dragging himself with diffioully along the ground, by the assistance of Iiis Imnds and knees and came up to his courser, “ Poor friend,” said lie lo it, “wliut will thou do amongst ihe Tuiks 7 Thou wilt he immured under tlie arches of u khan, witli thu horses of an uga or of u puclin ; tlie women and children will no longer bring ihce the camel’s milk, or tlie barley, or Ihe doura in tlie hollow of their hands ; thou will no longer run free in the desert, us the wind of Egypt ; thou will no more divide the waters of the Jordun with thy breast and cool thy skin us wliito as their foam ; therefore if I remain a slave, remain thou free : go. return to the tent, which thou kuowost; say to my wife dial Abou.cl Murscli will return no more, und put thy head under tlie curtains of ihe lent to lick the hands of my littlecliiidreii.” While spunking thus Abou-ol Murscli had gnawed through w itli Iiis leetll the cord uf goal-hair which fetters Arab horses uud tho animal was free ; hut seeing its mnster wounded and hound at his foot, the faithful and sa gacious steed understood by instinct what no Ian guage could explain to him. Me stooped his head smelt Iiis mnster, and, seizing him with Iiis teeth hv the leathern lliong which ho Imd about Iiis body, went off in a gallop and bore him to Iiis lent. On arriving, and placing his master on the sand at the the feet of Iiis wife and children, tlie horse expired from fatigue.

Thb Whirlwind or Palestine.—The whirl wind sometimes assumes the ohnpo and position of the waterspout, the vacuum being filled with oarlh, sand, &c. instead of water, Mr. Bruce, in hit journey through the desert of Seniiar, had the sin gular felicity to contemplate this wonderful pheno mena, io all its terrific majosly, without injury, al though with considerable danger and alarm. In that vast expanse of desert, from west end to north west of him, he saw a number uf prodigous pillars of sand, at different distances, moving at times with great celerity, at others stulking on with majestic slowness; at intervals he thought they were com ing, in a few minutes, lo overwhelm him and hit companions. Again they would retreat, so as to he almost out of sight, their tops reaching to the very clouds. There the tops often separated from the bodies, and these, once disjointed, dispersed in the air, nnd appeared no more. Sometimes they were broken near tho middle, as if struck witli a large cannon shot. About noon they began lo ad vance with considerable swiftness upon them, the wind being strong at north. Eleven of these aw ful visilert ranged along side of ilium at uhout the distance of three miles. Tho greatest diumetur of the largest appeared to him, at tiiat distance, as if it would measure ten feet. They retired from them with a wind at southwest, leaving nn impression upon t he mind of our intrepid traveller lo which he would give no name ; though lie candidly admits that one ingredient in it was fear mixed wilh a con siderable deal of wonder and astmiislmienl. He declares il was in vain to think of flying ; tlie swift- est horse or fastest sailing ship could he of no use to carry them out of this danger; and the full por- suasion of this riveted him to the spot where ho stood. Next day they were gratified by a similar display of moving pillars, in form and disposition like those already described, only they seemed to bo more in number and less in size. They came, several times, in a direction close upon them ; that is, according to Mr. Bruce’s computation, within less lliun two miles They became, immediately after sunrise, like a thick wood, and almost dar kened the sun, hia ruys, shining through them for near an hour, gave them an nppearance of pillars of fire. Al another lime they were terrified by nn army of these sand pillars, whose march was con stantly south, a number of which seemed once to be coming directly upon them, and, though they were little nearer than two miles, a considerable quantity of sand fell uround them. On the 21st November, about eight in the morning, he had a view of tlie desert to tho wosiwaid as before, and taw the sands had already began to rise in im mouse tw istod piliars, which darkened tlie heavens and moved over the desert wilh more magnificence than ever. The sun, shining through the pillars, which were thicker, and contained more sand, ap parently. than any of tho preceding ones, seemed to give loose nearest them an appearance ns if spotted wilh stars of gold. A little above twelve the wind at nortli ceased, and a considerable quantity of fine sand rained upon them fur an hour afterwards. Bannister’s Survey of the Holy Land.

A Survey op Humanity.—Let us imagine, for a moment, a stranger from another planet to vitit our globe, und to coiitcnipluto and compare tlie manners of its inhabitants, and let him fust witness some brilliant spectacle in one of tlie highly civil ized countries of Europe ; the coronation of a mo- ■lurch ; the installation, of St. Louis on tlie throne of Iiis ancestors, surrounded an august assembly oi peers, and burons,and mitred abbots nnointed from the cruse of sacred oil brought by an nngei to rat ify the divine privilege ofkings ; let the same per son he carried into a hamlet of Nogroland, in the hour when the sable race recreate themselves with dancing and barbarous music, let iiim then ho trans ported lolho saline plains over which bold and tuw ney Mui.goies roam, differing but little in hue from tlie yellow soil of their steppes, brightened by the saffron flower of tlie irris and tulip; let him be placed near tlio solitary den of tlie bushmnn, where tlie lean and hungry savage crouches in silence like a heust of prov, watching wi:h fixed eyes the birds which enter his pitfull,or the insects and reptiles which chance brings within his grasp; let tlio Ira veller he carried into the midst of an Australian forest, where the squalid companions of kanga. roons may be seen crawling in procession in imita tion of quadrupeds ; can it ha supposed that suoh a person would conclude the various groups of ho. ings whom lie had surveyed to ha of one nnturc, one tribe, or the offspring of the same original slock 7 Iiis much mure probable that ho would arrive at an opposite conclusion;—Pritchard's Na tural History of Man, A Maniac Story.—A butcher who had been confined some time in the mad-house called the Muristan, conceived un excessive hatred for a Deice, (n Turkish trooper.) one of Iiis fellow pris oners. He received Ids provision of food from his family, and ho induced Iiis wife, one day, on tlie occasion of her taking him Iiis dinner, to con ceal in his basket of food the instruments lie had used in Iiis trade, viz, a cleaver, a knife and a pair of hooks.

Now fol lows the tragical part of (lie story. No keepers were present; the man who possessed tlie cleaver attacked tlie poorDclee, chained and unarmed ns he was; slaughtered him ; and, after dividing his body, linng it on the hooks within tho wiuduwt of tlie cell, and believed him lo be what he was, a butch er. lu a few minutes tlie liberated lunutics be. came uproarious ; and one of them, growing ularm- ed, forced open the door by which tlie keepers usu ally entered, found one of them, and guve the (alarm.

For household purposes tho most convenient way will be to provide a num ber of esrllternware jars, with ground covers and a small hole in cacti cover, like dial in a teapot, which may be slopped easily. The meat may be first partly boiled and deprived of its bones, and be then put, with part of the liquor, into the jars, which must he set iu a pan of warm water and gradually brought to a boil. When the steam is rising from the jars the covers must be out on litem and fixed down air tight, thu steam gonerated in the meantime being suffered to escupe from the orifices in tho lids,— Finally tlio pan must bo removed from tlie fire, the holes in the lids stopped with small corks, and these waxed over to make them more impenetrable. It may also be e good precaution to run a little melted wax round in the edge of each cover lo obviato the the leakage due to any imperfection of the surfaces in coOtact. Meat might also, we eenceive, ha pre served by boiling it in melted faf for a few mindtas, Curious Discovery.— A French Chemist, Pro fessor Dehzenne, has discovered tiiat silk rags may he turned bnck into silk again ! In tlie same way that cautchouch is drawn out into filaments, uud woven into a durable material, so are these remnants of silk reduced lo wltal is more titan its primitive stale, viz ; a glutinous paste, hy means of a dissolvent. Tho melted silk, liko fused gluss, re acquires, on coming into tlie air, all its originul strength and tenacity. Having found the best dis solvent uf tlie cautchouch (the distillation of this elastic resin.) Professor D. was not deceived when lie thought he could also distil silk, which lie found lo ho the true medium for its dissolution. The crude silk, and that which is not dyed, was easily man- aged. Tito inventer St present bus found no diffi culty hut with the dyed portions of silk, and more especially the black ones, but he nopos hy continu ing Iiis dose attention lo tlio subject, lu overcame this difficulty. At this rate tliere will be no need of winding, spinning, and all that tedious process ; because if silk can he mudo from dissolved rags, it will he just as well to dissolvo tlie cocoons in tlie first instanco. And if the discovery should prove all tiiat it lias claimed to he it will work a complete revolution in the silk manufacture. Our old ludies and thrifty housewives will find a new item in econ omy, in the preservation of silk rags hitherto oast away as entirely worthless. We wait for further developments.
