With small beer, good ale and wine, O yo gods ! llow I shall dine.! MISCELLANEOUS. From the Mussulman. TURKISH ADDITION. The chief executioner of Smyrna one of the most amiable of men, and best of Moslems. As Yiresnf very properly re marked ol the exemplary coolness of his manner, it was truly admirable. Wheth er he had one wretch to decapitate or ten, it made no difference in the landtor toise dignity of his pace: whether he had to bowstring a grandee, or simply cut the throat of a rajah, it was done with the same gentlemanly (lint-faced apathy. t*le morning he was sailing along the ba zaar at the customary rate of half a knot an hour, when his son-in-law made his appearance. “This is rather a busy inurniogwuith me, Yussuf,” said the ex ecutioner: “i have no time to lose; go and order that Cufligihashi to bring me a cup of coffee and a pipe. I have two to kill this morning—tin y nrr only Ghrit.- tians; hat after dinner I have one of your I corps to Imwstriug privately. lam gen erally, (continued the worthy functionary j yawning a little,) rather fatigued after the | latter operation, i have a mind to let ] von try your hand on one of the rajahs bti! I fearyou would make a bungling busin ess of it.” . “O honoured father!” exclaimed Yus sut, “hy your bright stvord i implore you by your powerful arm I conjure >ou to try my skill; if I dispatch not the infidel to your satisfaction, never give mu the cut -1 ling off of another head.” NV ell! be it so niv son,” replied the ex ecutioncr, “but I still fear your well-meant zeal may shake your nerves. I will lay down a lew rules, ns we go along, for the i regulation of your future official life; for | one day or another you may expect to step into my place. ‘*.Min Allah!” cried Yussuf, in a sorrow ful tone of voice,‘heaven forbid I should ever see the day of your death. Allah defend mo from wishing for any station, however exalted it may be, which is only to he reached by passing oier the grave of my dear father!’ ‘Well! well!’ said the executioner, (with some little impatience,) ‘1 was not talk ing of graves, l was only speaking to you of cutting off heads. Listen to me young tnan, with the attention which the impor tance of my Words demands, it you ever hope to attain the high post of an execu tioner. Outlie knowledge of the ten fol lowing great principles of our profes sion, your future respectability de pends. “Iu the first place. An executioner has a right to expect annual presents from all who holds an office from the .Sultan, except the Multi who is beyond the juris diction of the sword. “Secondly. The compliment should be always paid a criminal of rank, of asking hint the nighi previous to his execution, how he would wish the operation perform ed! If he huv ■ one piastre left in the world, lie will understand you. “Thirdly. The temper of an execution er shows the greatness or litllenCss of his soul more than is commonly imagined. I’assion is the vice of our profession; pity is a less prevailing weakness, hut both are to be avoided. “Fourthly’, Apathy is not more com mendable in a headsman than a decorus taciturnity, lie has nothing to do with the crime of the man he has to kill, nei ther should lie ever inquire what it is. The rank of the culprit is all he ought to know; a i'aclia of three tails expects a sharper sword than one of two, and if lie he rich lie may as well be grati fied. “Fifthly. An executioner who has a liy sense of religion, should never think ofchopping offa head without repeating 1 the Bisinillah; he should not even tie Ins own w ife (if she lie a bad one) in a suck, without doing it iu the name of the most merciful God. “Sixthly. As coolness is the first ac complishment of the headsman, so is dexterity the first of virtues ou the scaf fold, “Seventhly. The skill of the func tionary being of more importance than his strength, it behooves the young per former first to try Ins band oil pumpkins, then to practice on rajahs, especially Jews and lastly to perfect himself ou porters and Armenian hankers. “Eighthly. Before the operator throw s the culprit on his knees, he should try the edge of his scymetar on his nails; having previously borne in mind that the haft cannot be too heavy, the blade too short imr too little curved. “Ninthly. When lie strikes he should strike home; he is a bungler who gives the second blow. No unnecessary flour ishing of the weapon is to he endured. You have seen the velocity of my motion forward anil backwards; no more is nee ded. “Tenthly. It is beneath the dignity of a chief executioner to kick the fallen head even of it Christian; the trouble of spitting on the lifeless body of an infidel is too much. The women and rabble will not fail to do both, and while they ate doing so, wipe vour red sword on the garments of the dead man but never in the skirts of your ow n jebhee Us the common headsmen do.’* “O honored father!” exclimed Ynsstif, “what excellent counsel is this flowing its it does from the fulness of experence from the dept of wisdom. How can I ever venerate sufficiently your lietiigu heard! A thousand blessings on it, for the favour conferred on my soul this morning. How rny heart pants for ’lie happy moment! how my hand itches for the bright sword!” It was with difficulty the worthy execu tioner could restrain the ardour of his young disciple’s transport, as they ap proached the place of execution. “O father! could you not let me kill both,” cried Yuamif; *‘if 1 do the first bu siness to your favorof suffering nte to slay the second unbeliever, (cursed he his fa ther 4 * beard!”) “Ah, my son,” replied the executioner, “did 1 not warn you against the common foible of our profession , that o citing into [ a mission with the victim; even before he is beheld. You tire likewise too impa tient. I told yon never to he flurried i when you approach the place of execution and v« t the moment we arrive at if, your ■ eyes are gleaming like two red sum when 1 the wind is c#uung from the mn-t, atwhyour VOL. 11.«\0. I, ringers are playing wit it votir neck ;ts if it was that of your mortal ene my.” “Excuse me, flttlter,” said Yussuf; “I confess Iw as somewhat absent—l was thinking of Mourad. Trust to my discre tion; I will endeavour to b* bate as be comes the son-in-law of the chief execu tioner.” IJy this time they had reached “the place of blood,” where a numerous crowd ol the true believers, of both sexes were assembled to enjoy the spectacle of two unbelievers being put to death. The guilt, moreover, of the culprits was of that appalling nature, that put all sympathy aside, and render the exultation ol the fair spectators especially more loud than usual. The crime of the rajahs tvas blasphemy they had been heard, m a fit of drunken lie** talking irreverently oftlie s-'mr .jnli, reviling corn trie prophet and the remnant of the unmentionables, which forms the banner of the faithful. The two culprits bad in vain protested their innocence before the Cadi; a single voice, and that of a disreputable man, bat a Moslem, prevailed against their lives. Yussuf took his station; the culprits were not yet on llie spot but they were seen at no great distance, two oftlie executioners servants to each, running the pale wretch along at a quick pace and then dragging him by the girdle, as he shrunk nt his ap proach to llie place of terror. Each had his head uncovered & his neck bared; as Yussuf, regardless of the injunction of bis father-in-law, brandished the naked soimetar before the eyes of the appalled victims, each palpitating wretch stam mering out the futile word, “Imnun linatin!” It is said, the drowning grusp at straws; it may be so—we have heard dying wretches ask ‘mercy’ of a Mos lem. There wa& a deep glow on the cheek of the young executioner, as he bared his right arm; his heart beat high: he bad al ready entwined] Ins fingers in the tufted hairot one of his victims, bis soul was al most satisfied, when suddenly the trem bling wretch cried in u loud voice,“Allah illali! allali, akbar Mahomet rasure nlhih! —There is no God hut one God, and Ma homet is his prophet!—l desire to embrace the true religion!,’ The other infidel re peated the same words. The sword of Yussuf was uplifted when hr heard these dreadful words; the fury of a demon raged in his regard, at the probability of being robbed of bis vic tim. “Down on your knees dog of an unbeliever,” lie exclaimed; “flown, cursed infidel, when 1 tell you;” and with thcs<? swords, pushing the resisting criminal on bis knees, be was in the net of striking the fatal blow, w hen there w ns a general bu/.r amongst the nibble, and then a loud cry of “Stop! stop! they have made the profes sion of faith! they have Lit collie true believ ers! away with them to the governor, tc< know his pleasure!” Yussuf was bustled nbout in the most unceremonious manner possible; the rab ble rfished in on nil sides, tore the rajah already half dead with terror, from the gripe of the enraged headsman, and drag ged Loth him mid his companion before the Governor: where after a conference with the Cadi,the recnhtntion of both cul prits W as received, and both were pardon ed, Wc will leave the gentle reader to iron* gine the disappointment ol'Yussiif,his fury at the reprieve, and his vexation tit tint reprimand of the executioner, for his in temperate conduct. lie returned home with more rapid strides than became the dignity of a Mus sulman; not so much for any consolation his domestic felicity could afford, ns to vent his spleen on the devoted heudsof his household. COUSIN SALLY DILLARD. Scene —A Court of Justice, in No, C<f. A beardless disciple of Themis rises, and thus addresses the court: —May it please your Worships, and you, Gentle men of the Jury, since it has been my fortune (good or had l will nut say) to exercise myself in legal disquisitions, it. has never before In-fallen me to he obli ged to denounce a breach of the peace so enormous and transcending as the one now claiming your attention.
