will nntqueblion the sincorily of this belie I wlioti
lio views tho apathy with which they regard tho
progross of a disaster of which they me thnn-

are being demolished by tho fiery elements, in

This doctrine of fatalism, in connection with
the promiso of Mnliomct, that the souls of till
those who are killed in defence of the "fniili," will
bo instsmly transported to Paradise, rennets tho
Turk perfectly reckless on the Imtiie-fielil. Con

uncaring for peraonul consequences.
One of the must extraordinary beliefs of the
Turks is, that tho soul of n ilerenseii person is in
agony until the body is interrid. On this account
they hurry it off'from the place of demise to the
grave as speedily as passible, and it is indeed a
curious and horrifying apectnclo to witness a
corpse clad in sepulchral garments, | laced upon
a littor, which is borne upon the shoulder* of lour
men, who are hurrying it rapidly along to its linn,
resting place. The patter by would think that
they were trying to get rid of their hired in i*
nummary a manner as posatble. To add to the
novelty ns will as the horror of tins • pin, the
looker one*it behold the uncovered glu.stly lea

Only tho male friends ot tho deceased nccotn-
K ny his remains to the grave. Uofote ho i* ta
li from tlm house prayers aro recited over hi*
body, and the ancient usage practised ui washing
the feet. There are few, if any, coremonies by
tho »idoof the grave. The smviving relatives io
not (tut on any habiliments ol mourning, hut
sometimes the men manifest their grid lor the
loss of lln ir kindred by allowing their beards to
grow to a prodigious length.

Ilia soul pasaos gently and ini|>ercoi>tibly from ins
boiiy into all the untold delights of l'anult-e; hut
should the angel be displeased with the response,

We recogn'ze the leading truths of this extruct,
and sanction i'* main puggesiious a* ill* fundamental
principles on which the different nations, pretending
to bo free, should act. The political refuge* has a
right to iho protection which the laws and constitu
tions aflbid aud offer to every citizen and every ex
ile, but every mau seeking the asylum thus offered
is bound, whilst enjoying it, to behave himself. If
lie flees from the storms of his own unhappy country
for quiet and peace in this, he should avo d all con
duct calculated to stir up strife betwi cn the home of
hi* adoption und the land of his birth. Kossuth hirn
self is not only a memorable, but a disgraceful exam
ple of a contrary course. His iutermeddliug spirit
sunk hirn, in the estimation of this country, from the
elevation of an exiled patriot to the poor condition of
an itinerant mendicant. The true doctrine is, that
they shall be protected, h it that they must behave.

We find, in the Bu’timore Clipper, some very ap
propriate remark* on the subject of the course some
time* pursued by attorneys in their attempts to con
fuse and browbeat witueMe*. No body pities a wit
ness, however harsh hi* treatment, who will not,
when brought upon the stand, t**ll th* whole truth.—
Indeed, the th pravily of poor hum .• nature presents
no more despisah'e object than the apology for a mau
who, under the sanctions andsolernnties of an oath,
trie* how far be can strum his conscience, and how
near he cuii approach the line that separate* truth uud
falsehood, without stepping over. Such a wretch de-
s"rye* the torture of a wholesome blisteiing, si.d what
is better, he generally get* it. But we have sometime*
seen young attorneys exerciso their wit* on men of
Mending and character, uud endeavor to fling a elmde
of suNpiciou on the testimony of such men given with
out preverreatiou or equivocation. Old practitioner*,
wo might nd.l, aro occasionally guily of the same fault.
