NV j If m dam'',' to t .pttirui, 1 Description of the Seraglio of an East ern Emperor. —ln the seraglio are educa te,l the Mogul princes, and the principal youth among the nobles, destined for posts of responsibility iu the empire. It is generally separated from the palace, but so nearly contiguous as to be ready ol access. None are admitted within its apartments but the emperor and those immediately attached to its several offi ces, the duties us w hich are performed by women. It is generally enclosed by lofty walls, and surrounded by spacious gar dens, laid out with till the splendour of eastern magnificence, where every luxu ry is obtained which the appetite may dctiintid, or money can procure. Those imitates w lm form tbe matrimonial con federacy ot tlie Mogul potentate are among the most beautiful girls which the i empire can furnish. These lovely ettp , tiv.-s a v tower permitted to np;Vtir ts ( broad, except when the emperor travel.-'’ | and then they are conveyed in litters clo i sed by curtains, or in boats with small cabins, admitting the light tutd air only through narrow Venetian blinds. The apartments of the seraglio arc splendid, always, however, of course, in proportion to tbe wealth ol the prince; and the fa vourite object ol liis all'eetion exhibits the dignity, and enjoys the privilege of a ipiccn, though a tpiccn in captivity. While Iter beauty lasts, she is frequently regarded w ith feelings amounting to idol atry ; but when that beauty pusses awttyj the warmth of love subsides. The fa-, vouritc, however, while site continues her ascendency over the heart of her lord, is treated with sovereign respect through out the harem.—She smokes her golden tuhed hooks, the uioiith-pieees studded with gems, and enjoys the fresh morning breeze under a verandah that overlooks the garden of the palace, attended by her damsels, only second to her in attraction ol person, and splendour of attire. Here she reclines iu oblivious repose, and up on n rich embroidered carpet front tho most celebrated looms of I‘ersi.t. Thro’ an atmosphere of the richest incense, slut breathes the choicest perfumes of Arabia, and lias every tfiing around Iter that can administer to sensual delight; yet still she is generally an unhappy being. She dwells in the midst of u splendid misery and ungratifying profusion, while all within Iter is desolation and hopelessness. Her sympathies are either warped or sti lled ; her heart is blighted, and her mind degraded. —Oriental Annual. He.auf'ftJ EidragL— “lt ctinnmjw th",< earth is man’s only abiding place.
