And my pale cheek can tell;

Beauteous flowers meet her eyes,
Forming pillows for her head;

And indulging whispers found.

That my hunger inav remove;

Oh! the charming white and red l

On the sweetest grass it led:
Let the Jack go swiftly round,
Let me have it nicely brown'd.
On (lie table spread the cloth,
Lot the knives be sharp aud clean;

Let them each he fresh and green.
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.

Scene —A Court of Justice, in No, C<f.
A beardless disciple of Themis rises,

has never before In-fallen me to he obli

enormous and transcending as the one
now claiming your attention. A more

assault—a more w ilful, violent, dangerous
and murderous buttery, and finally, u
more diabolical breach of the peace has
seldom happened in a civilized country,
iintil dart) say it litis seldom been your du
ty to pass upon one so shocking to be
nevolent feeling as this, which took place
over at Captain liice’s, in tins county, hut
you will hear from the witnesses. The
witnesses being sworn, two or three were
examined and deposed--one, that he heard
the noise, hut dul’n* see the fight—aim

who struck first—anti a third, that he w as
