DAY AND NIGHT;
THE WATER-CARRIER
DAMASCUS.
BY J. K. PAULDING.
All you that envy the rich man who
quaffs his wine, lolls on his silken couch,
rides in his gilded equipage, and fares
sumptuously every day; and who repine
at the unequal dispensations of Providence,
because you labor while he is at rest, lis
ten to the story of Abdallah, the water-
carrier of Damascus.
Abdallah was the slave of Benhadad,
the richest man in Damascus, proprietor
of the most splendid palace, the most de
lightful gardens, and the most beautiful
harem in all the city. He was, moreover,
bashaw of the whole region around, and
wore the green turban on account of his
descent from the Prophet The chief oc
cupation of Abdallah was bringing water
for his roaster, in a large stone jar, from
a cool crystal fountain in one of the reces-
cs of Mount Hebron. In that delicious,
though debilitating climate, this employ
ment was very laborious ; and Abdallah,
as he returned, panting with heat, and
saw his master sitting on a damask sofa,
in a sumptuous saloon, paved with many
colored marble, and having in the centre
a fountain, which diffused a delicious cool
ness all around, smoking his pipe and
drinking sherbet, could not help compar
ing his own menial state with that of
Benhadad, and wishing a thousand times
a day he was in his place. Thus adding
to the real hardships of his own situation
the misery of envying another, his repin-
ings became every hour more grievous
and intolerable. While the rest of the
slaves were enjoying with a zest belong
ing to that state of life their hours of re
laxation, and crowding a thousand little
pleasures into a few fleeting moments,
Abdallah would sit, moody and discon-
FostnmsU-rs are autlmrised to act as our tented, contrasting his daily toils and
agents in obtaining subscribers and forward- ° J
homely fare with the splendid ease and
redundant luxuries of Benhadad. His only
pleasure was abstracting himself from the
scenes around and fancying himself in the
place of his master. But this indulgence
of his imagination made the reality- of his
situation more intolerable, when he re
turned to the perception that he was only
Abdallah the slave.
One sultry summer day, he had gone
as usual to the spring of Mount Hebron,
to fill his jar with the water which Ben
hadad preferred to all others. By the
time he arrived at the cool shady glen,
where the fountain gushed out at the Toot
of a high rock, he felt his strength failing
him; and instead of filling the vessel, and
returning as usual with all speed, he sat
down to indulge the usual train of his
melancholy thoughts.
“What,” said he, within himself ‘Svhat
is Benhadad better than I, that he should
revel in luxury; command the smiles, the
endearments, the homage of fifty women,

He lingered so long, pondering on the
injustice of Site, and the unequal distribu
tions of Providence, that Benhadad, who
was thirsty in consequence of having in
dulged in a gluttonous feast the night be-
$62,580 fore, became impatient of his delay, and
25,000: on his return ordered the bastinado,
which was inflicted in his presence.
“ Slave!” said he, “ I will teach thee a
quicker step when thou goest on errands
for thy master! Out of my sight! son of

: still silent
| “ For the third and last time, I ask!
j thee. Be not afraid, but speak thy wish- j
: cs freely.”
| “Art thou the Prophet ?” at length ask-
[ ed Abdallah, in a trembling voice, and
afraid to raise his face from the earth.
“ No,” replied the genius,- “ but I am
commissioned to speak his will, and do
his bidding. Why is it thou hast called
upon him in such despairing tones ?
Speak ; be not afraid, for my errand is to
hear thee.”
“ Alas!” cried Abdallah, at length,
“ alas! I have just received the bastinado,
and was thinking what could be the rea
son that Benhadad should he my master,
and I his slave; instead of I being his mas
ter, and he my slave. I cannot see the
justice of such unequal distributions of
happiness.”
“ Thou believest, then, that the master
is always happier than the slave ?”-
“ Doubtless ; I know it by my own ex
perience. I cannot be blind to the bless
ings of wealth, nor insensible to the evils
of poverty. Oh! that I were Benhadad,
and Benhadad Abdallah!”
“ Thou thinkest Benhadad an object of
envy ?”
“Without doubt. Are not his days
spent in luxurious eating and drinking ;
in the enjoyment of perpetual ease ; and
are not his nights delightful, beyond the
reach of imagination ?”
“ Thou shalt see,” replied the genius.
“ Go home, and two hours after midnight
I will be with thee in thy chamber. Lose
no time, thou wilt be wanted, for Benha
dad gives a great feast to night to the agfc
and imans. Speed, and expect me at the
hour named.”
The genius entered the rock; it closed;
the trembling ceased, the waters began to
flow, the cool breeze once more whispered
among the trees, and Abdallah returned
home, pondering on what he had seen and
heard, doubtful whether it was not a
dream.
He found that his absence had not been
noticed, and that the company was already-
seated at the feast, which consisted of all
the rich and varied products of the fertile
regions around. Grapes as large as pige
on’s eggs; melons and pomgranates, of a
flavor unknown in other less favoured
lands; and a succession of spicy dishes
that caused the mouth of Abdallah to wa
ter exuberantly, as he assisted in pouring
out the rich wines of Cyprus, ofScios, and
Mytelcnc, for drinking which on especial
occasions, Benhadad bore a dispensation
bn account of his health.
The feast was prolonged to a late hour
by a succession of delicacies, and the in
troduction of dancing girls, so that it was
past midnight ere the visitors departed^
and Benhadad sought repose. Abdallah
retired to his chamber, which was one of
the meanest in the world, and could not
help repeating to himself, “ Surely Benha
dad is the happiest of mortals.” Sleep
overtook him in the midst of his reflec
tions.
He dreamed that he was Benhadad, and
was revelling in the indulgencies of sense,
with all the imaginary zest of unpartaken
dainties, when he was aroused by a voice,
exclaiming, “ Awake, Abdallah, the hour
is come.” He awoke and beheld the ge
nius standing over him, with the same
bright eyes, the same snow white beard,
the same aspect of divinity.
“ Follow me,” cried he, “ Benhadad is
just fallen asleep. Thou shalt see what
happy nights he passes.”
The doors silently opened of themselves,
as they passed through the numerous a-
partments between the sorry chamber of
Abdallah and the sumptuous one of his
master, which they entered without cere
mony. Benhadad was stretched on his
conch, asleep but not at rest. He rolled
himself from side to side, threw his arms
“Listen, Abdallah,” cried the genius.
“ It is the error of the poor and the labour,
ing to envy the rich and the idle, because
they see them only in the day time, while
enjoying the luxuries, and that exemption
from toil, which to thee and such as thee Jn 182g when he heard the questioD of

didst thou know, as I do, that the labours , he considerc d it treason, and
Congressional.
era States disclaim any such idea; hot
what is that? Nothing but froth; nothing
but pretense. I have no faith in any such
declaration. I look at the acts of tho
Northern people, and not at their pledges
of thy busy day s are repaid by nights of
such light, such balmy, such delicious
rest, as never falls to the lot cf the sloth,
the glutton, and the voluptuary; didst
thou but know that they toil ten times
more to digest a dinner than thou dost to
earn one; .that want of exercise, and ex
cess of sensual delights, weaken the very
springs of life, and take from existence its
healthful vivacity of enjoyment; didst thou
know that absistence from a thousand in
dulgences makes the single one thou en-
joyest more than equivalent to all the rest;
and that thou and such as thee, crowdest
into one single hour of relaxation more
real enjoyment than the sated votary of
pleasure gleans from a whole year of dis
sipation ; didst thou and such as thee
know all this by experience, which alone
is the teacher of true wisdom, thou and
they- would cease to repine, and no longer
impeach the justice of Allah.”
“ It may be so,” replied Adballah ; “but
for all that I should like to be Benhadad,
at least for a little while.”
“ Take, then, thy wish; but take this
with thee: thou wilt be nothing ere the
sun rises.”
“ What mean you ?”
“ Thou wilt be dead!”
“ I beseech thee, oh my genius! let me
remain as I am!”
“ Be it so. But look!”
The genius waved his wand towards the
couch of Benhadad, and casting his eyes
in that direction, Abdallah beheld his mas
ter again struggling more violently than
before. He seemed striving to speak, but
the words rattled in his throat, and he
gave utterance to nothing but groans; the
dews of agony collected in drops on his
forehead; his features became convulsed;
his face turned black ; he was dead.
“ Now take a few hours repose before
the morning breaks, and rest contented
in future with the lot which Allah hath
ordained thee. I do not mean that thou
shouldcst not strive to change thy situa
tion—for absolute resignation to his fate
precludes all exertion, and makes those
faculties, which were given to, man for
high purposes, of no use whatever—I
mean that thou shouldest cease to poison
thy own happiness, by repining at that of
another. Farewell! and do not forget the
lesson vouchsafed thee by the prophet.”
Saying which, the genius suddenly vanish
ed.
Abdallah sought his homely lodging,
and slept so soundly that he was only a-
wakened by the sunbeams playing upon
his face. He rembered the occurrences of
the night, but imagined he had merely-
been dreaming, until one of his fellow
slaves rushed in, exclaiming that Benha
dad was dead Then he knew it was not
a dream. He continued all his life to fetch
water from the spring of Mount Hebron >
and though he slept soundly and sweetly
every night after his labours, sometimes
caught himself repining at the unequal
dispensations of Allah. But whenever
that was the case, he recalled to mind the
night-scene by the couch of Benhadad;—
and when he saw a rich man lolling on a
damask sofa, by the side of a delicious
fountain, smoking his pipe, and quaffing
his sherbet, would say to himself) “ never

he worked himself into a fit of despair,
and, clasping his hands, cried, out—
“ Oh! Mahomet—0 holy Prophet!”
As he said this, the rock trembled from
its summit to its base, the tinkling of the
Mr. I verson. The Senator remarked that, j >nd declarations . The distinpiishedSen
alor from New York, in his Rochester
speech, declared that the institution of
slavery or the free institutions of the North,
“ Boy all over.”
A distinguished lawyer says that in his
younger days, he taught a boy’s school,
and the pupils wrote compositions; he
sometimes received some of a peculiar
sort The following are specimens:
it sounded very much in that light as he
heard it at the present time.
Mr. Houston. No, sir, I said the man
ought to have been crucified. That was
the.expression.
Mr. Iverson. I understand. That is a
difference betwixt twedledum and twee-
dledec. Now, sir, I have expressed no de
sire to dissolve the Union. I utterly deny
that I am in favor of a dissolution of the
Union. I am for the Union as long as it
is administered according to the intentions
of those who made it I am for a Union
that administers equality to all the States.
I am for a Union that gives to every sec
tion equal rights, and promotes the honor
and the interest of all sections alike. Such
a Union as that I would defend, respect
and revere; but for a Union administered
upon a sectional basis, a Union administ
ered by the demon of abolitionism, a Un
ion that would make one section cringe to
another, a Union that would sacrifice the
rights and interests and honor of one sec
tion to promote those of another—such a
Union as that I would crush into atoms,
and trample under my foot as I would the
veriest reptile that crawls on the face of
the earth. Such a Union may suit the
Senator from Texas. Sir, if we consider
his antecedents, and his present speech, I
suppose that that is the Union that would
be to his liking.
The Senator talks about the Union, and
sings hosannas in its praise. I have heard
those songs sung before ; and I must say
that I have never heard them sung by a
Southern man without suspecting at once
that his eye was upon the Presidency of
the United States. It may require a great
deal of charity, looking at the antecedents
of. that Senator, and the remarks he has
made here to-day, to suppose, although
his political life is about to end, that he
has not lost sight of that long and linger
ing hope of his—the great folly of his life.
Sir, it is this very intensity, of feeling
which the Senator from Texas has so long
exhibited for the Union, over and'at the
sacrifice of the interests of his own sec
tion, that the people of his State have de
cided to put him into retirement; and for
one, I cannot but rejoice at that decision.
Sir, the Senator undertakes to speak for
the South, and he disclaims the idea which
I presented the other day, that on the
happening of certain contingencies, the
South would dissolve the Union, or more
States than one would take steps for sep
aration. The Senator has no right to
speak for his State on the subject. His
State has not reposed its confidence in him.
His State has repudiated him upon this
floor, because of the intensity of feeling
which he has exhibited in favor of the
Union, at the sacrifice of the interest and
honor of his own section.
That is my reading of the voice of the
people of Texas upon the fate of the Sen
ator. I do not speak for the State of Tex
as, or any other State in the South, except
my own State, in relation to its opinions
upon the anti-slavery agitation. I claim
to know something about the opinions of
the people of Georgia. The people of Tex
as may differ from them; but I should
say that upon the very question of that
Senator’s election to the Senate, the decis
ion of his own State has been made against
him.
I do not pretend to say, nor have I ever
said, that the State of Georgia or any oth
er Southern State would go out of the
one or the other, was to be sacrificed;—
either one or the other must, give way;—
aud how ? How, if not by the action of
the Federal Government ? In what other
way is slavery to give way to free institu
tions, except by the action of the Federal
Government ? He said that they are an-
tagonistical principles, which cannot exist
together, and that slavery must be carried
over the free States, or else slavery must
be extinguished in the slave States.
Nobody pretends to suppose that the
Senator from New York was in earnest
when he intimated that the slave States
would insist on having slavery established
in the Northern States. The Senator from
New York has too much good sense to
suppose that the South would ever insist
on any such thing. They never have in
sisted on it, and they never will insist on
it up to the .ast day of time. That was
all humbug on the part of the Senator
from New York. No man of common
sense can suppose that the slave States
will ever insist that the Northern States
shall establish slavery within their bor
ders. No, sir; when he declared that
those two institutions were antagonistical
and fatal to each other, and that one must
give way to the other, he meant that slave
ry should be abolished, and nobody of
common sense can misunderstand him ;—
and that is what I understand to be the
determination of the people of the North
ern States, if they get the control of the
Government. There are many ways, as I
intimated the other day, in which slavery
can be abolished by the action of the Fed
eral Government, even under the Consti
tution as it now exists; but when the
Northern States shall get the control of
every department of this Government,—
when they shall have fifteen, or twenty,
or thirty more free States added to this
Union, they can amend the Constitution
to suit their own purposes as they choose,
and wbat is to prevent them from accom
plishing that ?
Sir, I believe, as well as 1 believe in my
own existence, that it is the settled design
of the Republican party of the Northern
States to break dowis and destroy the in
