I il.j iJi A t’ n t., f At an age when the heart is open to every impression, and forms, with the name readiness, engagements and con nections, which, in a man of riper years, would be the fruit of esteem and obser vation, St. At w s travelling from his n tive province to explore the wonders of a metropolis which he had as yet beheld with the eyes only of hope. In the coach wh ch was to convey him to Paris, he found a young man of prepossessing ap pearance; a conversation soon began that terminated in protestations of friendship, warmly reiterated on both sides. Mutu al confidence soon flowed from their lips, and all the secrets of their hearts were revealed; it was then that St. A. learned that his new friend was going to Lai is, to uurry a young lady whom he had never seen, but whom his father and family had chosen for his bride, with the consent of her relations. Jhe journey finished with out any accident, and they arrived in the miming at Paris, where they took lodg ings in a public hotel. Scarcely had they taken possession of their apartments, when the young man was seized with a bilnus choir, which, in less than two hours, deprived him of his existence. Affected with the melait holly fate of his youthful acquaintance, St. A. whose at tentions had been unable to raise him, thought it his duty to inform the father of the future bride of the overthrow of fiis expectations, and taking with him the lette sand the pint folio of his friend, re p tired to tiie house f the gentleman. The servant who opened (he di or, con st inis that bis master expected his soo-in law, announced St A. as such. The fa tin r without giving him time to explain himself, embraced him with eagerness, and presented him to his daughter as her husband. St. A. naturally gay and volatile, could not resist the temptation of deceiving the family a while longer, and played his put extremely well. He gave the let t rs, am) being perfectly acquaint’ and with th* secrets and affairs of bis friend, re tui i d th • mosts itisfactory answers to their questions. IT* succeeded, especial ly, m captivating the attention of the young lady, ho, with side-long glances, *-■! i'i- f .tuirs amt tiio tine shape with which nature had blessed her lover. I) inner was announced, and St A. was! p need by the sid<* of the timid bride; ami the whole funity yielded up their h ‘arts to joy and satisfaction. The young ladv spoke little, answered with ditfi ul'y and often blushed, while St. A. was po lit** and ardent in his attention to her; and though the expressions of his face were naturally serious, his conversation Was pleasing and cheerful. Afer dinner, the father entered into all the details necessary to settle the tn i-riage when suddenly St. 4. rose and taking his hat, seemed anxious to retire. Are you going to leave us? Yes, answered St A. important bu-iness compels me to quit you. What business can you have 1 1 a city where you are a stranger 7 Per il <ps you wish to draw money from a bank? My purse is entirely at y >ur service;- but if you will, üb-olutely have r< course to a banker, l may send gouitb dy who wil’ transact the business for you. No, Saul St. A. who continued to walk toward* the door—-and they were soon in the hall —when, addressing the father, Now, that w- are alone, said be, and the ladies can tint hear us, I will tell you—this morn-1 ing a lew moments after my arrival, an accident happened to me. * l was tak*'n with the bilious cholic aud died. I pro mised to be buried at-ix o’clock, ami you will easily conceive that I must attend the place of rendezvous; I or. noi being known in ill's part ot the world, if l fail to be exact to my word, it would awake suspi cions of inattention tp business that would prove very prejudicial to my character. The father lis'ened to him with aston ish uent. but taking the whole for a joke, returned to the ladies, and bursting with laughter, related ihe cause of his son-iu la"s hu*rird departure While they were still conversing on the subject, six o’cloca struck; it was soon seven, and the family were alarmed at not seeing St. A. Half an hour after, the father sent to his hotel to inquire. The servant entrusted with the commission asked for him under the assumed name, and received for an swer, that he had arrived at nine in the morning died at eleven, and was buried at six. It would be difficult to express the sui prise of the family at receiving this information; and. as St. A. left his lodg ing-, and never visited there again, a ge neral belief was spread around, that it was 1 the gho3t that spent the day with Mr. N. ] | in social enj vin*‘nt and conversation, UABiftTrfT WARRKN'TON.

MAHOMETAN SERMON. The following is a translation [from the Arabic] of a sermon delivered by a Mufti at Algiers. It is furnished by a correspondent of the National Intelligen cer. We have seldom seen so much pow er, splendid diction, and lofty imagery, in so small a compass. The description of the omnipotence of the Dei*y is fall -,f grandeui—‘He thought—and worlds were created!’ VV|, a t exp ession has lan guage superior to this, and what can be more sublime than the conclusion of ihe same paragraph, “With the shadow of bis garment, h blottetb out the sun! God alone is immortal— Abraham and Solomon have slept with their father?, Cad jab, the first brn of faith; Avesma, the beloved Omar toe meek? Oimi, the ‘•enev ©lent, the < ompaniens of the Apos tle, and the seat of 1 >ad bmiself; nil died —but God, Mod H dv; ‘ivedi forever? I fir.ites are to him as. the oumericals of arithmetic to tin sms of Adam! The earth shall varji h before the decrees of His eternal Ue-tmy; but he liveth and r< ignet'. fi ; evt •! God alone is Omniscient !—Michael, wKh* vv ng> ,ar*- to il of eyes, is blind he tore him! 1 he dark night unto him is as the nys of oriiiog, for he noticeth the creep ing of the small ant, in the and .k night, upon the black stone; and apprehendeth the nru;ti nos n at<m in the open air. God alone is Omnipresent 1 . —He touch eth ths immensity of *pace ns a point; He moveth in the depths of the ocea, ar.d Mount Atlas is hid ien by the sole of his foo‘!

God alone is omnipotent'.—lie thought, and w *rldr. were created; He frowneth, and they dissolve in'o smoke; He smi teth, and the torment? of the damned are suspended. The thundeiing? of Her. man are the whisperings of his voi- e! The rustling of his attire light ning and earthquake! and with the shad ow of Hi? garment he blott* th out the Sun! God alone is Jlercifull —When he forg and His immutable deciees on the anvils of eternal wi*don,He tern >eied the miseries of the human race in the fountains of pity. When he laid he foundations of the world, He dropped a tear upon, the umbryo miseries of un born men; and that tear falling through immesurable lapses of time; shall quench the glowing flames of the bottomless pit. He sent his piophct into the world to enlighten the, tribes; and hath prepared the pavilion of the liouri for the of she tru- be'iev,*rs. God alone is Justl— He chains the ; lot* i t cause to the distant event, and I lends them immutably fast to he fitness of ■: things. He deneed the unbeliever t< ’ wumer amid ihe wUirlwipd of eiapr,
