Towards the end Octo ber, lvU, Mchemet Ali sent his son Ibrahim with an army of from 40,000 to 50,000 men to Syria. A series of dreadful conflicts en frued. Thc siege of Jean dV2cre was long and the struggle desperate, but on the. 27 th of May, l"?oJ, the place was taken and the garrison! made prisoners with Abdallah, the governor j of Lhe province. Ibrahim then swept over thc : j country to the northward, successful every ' where against the forces of the Sultan, and wvi ready to march upon Constantinople itself. ' The Turkish government became alarmed. : Sf'tcr calling ou (ircat Britain for aid in vain, and after another dreadful encounter with Ibra him, the Sultan, threw himself, into the arms .cf Kuseia. An immense Russian force was brought into the Turkish dominions, but the Sultan becoming as fearful of Russian alliance as of Mehemet Alli'd rebellion, concluded to give up Syria. The dependance en Russia had however involved Turkey in bonds which could. not be broken; and a treaty was agreed! upon on the 6th of July, 1533, called the trcavof U-nkiar Skelessi, which placed Tur key, in the power of Russia to a humiliating "gree. The duration of the treaty Was 22m i to eight years. From that time to this, yri-i has often been in partial revolt against tue government of Ibraliim, and thc Sultan has beeiitceking an opportunity. to recover it.

Rulwcr, in 1)i:vi:i;eaux, tells us that Rus sian ladies tiiiuk most gratefully the gentle man who honors them by making them drunk. It is said, from late accounts, that, nearly a fourth part of .the revenue of Russia is derived i from the sale of spirits. This sale is kept entirely in thc hands .of' the imperial govern ment. The out-spread wings of the Russian eagle are over the door of every gin shop, in every village throughout that vast cnipire. Mr. Pinkerton calculates that "the enormous quantity of eighty-two milirous of gallons of brandy alone, arc drunk every year by the peasantry of the empire A. O. ricaiunc. n'i In one of the freezing days of our climate, '! mt a youug physician, recently married, invited his wife to accompany him on a visit to 'one of his patients. , ' " You arc romancing, James: what! visit a family without an introduction, or an invita tion, or an exchange of cards!" "In this family, my dear Amanda, there is no ceremony of cards," said James,' "but they will not hi less pleased to see you." "I never used to go to sec poor people, but' continued she, after a short deliberation,"' I will go u ith you any where." . ''p. They passed from the handsome utreet of their residence, to a small public square, ami crossing over, entered a small alley, in which Amanda saw a fow of houses built in a man ner that showed they were for the laboring class. Crossing the whole range they entered the last house, and at the first door Dr. liCd son gave a gentle rap. A plain dressed wo man opened it and welcomed them. Two chairs were immediately set out, cne with the hick broken oil", the other one rick ety and unstable. JJefore the fire were two little children sea ted on the hearth, making a noise, which the attendant female in vain endeavored to -quell. A girl about ten years of ago came out of a small bed room and smiled as she spoke.; In a large rude chair sat a thin female. S!:e looked up when Dr. Lcdsou addressed her, but neither smiled or spoke. Her complexion was sallow by illness, her lower jaw had fal len from its socket, and her tcetli chattered with the vain endeavor to close hor mouth. After receiving some nourishment at the hands of her companion she seemed revived. "I am glad to see you, Doctor, though I had hoped to have been released from my wretched ness before now. I do not complain, but I suf fer" she shivered and stopped suddenly, but in an instant said, "I thought it very hard when I lost my child l ist summer I see it was kind: what would have become of it now! I must leave these, young as they are, to take care of themselves, and my husband is hone of the steadiest." She did not weep: she was past thnt point of human fuffering.

A hectic, light relieved her vivid countenance. She said in audibly, "I hear the angels singing around me," and then relapsed into a state cf almost insensibility. The little girl shook hands beseechingly as they left, and in a subdued voice Amanda whis pered,' ''Wc will take caro of you." " Who like the physician, save indeed the minister, is called upon to see human nature in every shadow of a tint! t Thc rich and the poor, the delicate and the coarse; thc learned and the ignorant, come before him without d.s-. guise. , - . Amanda thought before that she loved her husband; but luxury is a dead sea atmosphere, f in which the nobler passions sicken and lie I motionless. She clung to James' arm as they returned home with a fueling of devotion to j him, that she had never imagined before; and in the pleasure she experienced in soften in r the horrors of her fellow-creatures' poverty, she found every- day new cause to rejoice in having shared her fortune with one who, if he brought her no addition of earth's wealth, had taught her that there is a way of employing it that will awaken delight.
