' The Christian Maiden. !
Away witS her lie blaepbernea the god- let
her be cait to the lians." j
It was high day in Carthage. The sun
ihonc with unclouded splendor on the white
palaces that glittered along the beautiful bay
cf the Nuirud'.an city. The streets were
thronged with the populace jin gala dress.
cs, for it was a festival in honor of the gods.
Tuviurd great hall 'of justice a crowd
"poured contir.dly, though the avenues lead
in j to it were iAocked . up ; but rumor' had
gone abroad ih .'. r Nazirena maiden 'was
tvl day to be tried, an J the public curiosity
wasnlivj to behold ! vr demeanor and bear
' her fate. '
1 Within tha hall thera was scarcely room
to stir. A der. . ; mass of spectator filled it
.. , " ", ... .... I, : i " ( ' . ..
to sufl-icaiion, en 1 it was with di acuity that
theoA.ccrs could keep tha crowd from cn.
croachingon thesp ao reserved for the judges.
Tha most intense excitement j pervaded 'the
apartment. The audience, as f impatient of
control, heaved to end fro, end more than once
an inefdectuat attempt was made to rush on
the prisoner, while ever and anon the shout
would rise from the crowd..
11 Away with her she blasphemes the gods
let her be cast to the lions." ! 1
Ths object of this angry cry was asgirl,
scarcely yet in her eighteenth j summer, and
ttrrrbiinglr beautiful. Sho stood at the bar
tii.h d isped hand' and uplifted eyes, ,her
' 1'; rnoved as if in prayer, apparently re.
j irJ'tJKS alike of the howl Lihe mob and

M. Witt thou sacrifice! Again I ask thpe,
" '.inhou saciifico r' said the praetor sternly;
" n'rnrmber, to refuse is death the empe.
' r rlinexortible." , j ,j
The maiden convulsively wrung her hands,
fl a largo ten r drop started in 1 her c)c. ? A
l.v libit!. silence ensued. Notwithstanding
t' ? crit s for bhiod, the spectators were ogita.
t I ly many and various emotions. Some
t ..t secretly f ivorable to the r..,,.v rcliiah,
i J utners pitied, the accused on account of
I r vc uth and beauty i but at least ono-h ilf uf

t !, !.ad ihs osccndency, as in every popular
t nult. But all kfpt silence now, awed with
roelingsof suspense which ever attends
t j crisis of n nuttier" fAte or our own.

I :se were crowded with recollections. The

and ss rolled bet.ixt her and her bold

mob'a fury was in a moment choked in udmi
ratim. DjI llieir heathen pr-juiices and
tlorst for LIiKd soon attained the ascendency
of letter feeling. I A l'w su'leo murmur ran
larough the crowd lite the hilf stifled growl
of a famished wi!J beast, which gradually

tlie angry multiiuis. . !
'Thou hast chosen, thy fate,' said the
judge, rising. Away with her to the lions.
The maiden turned deadly pale, but though
only a weak woman,! she evinced no other
sign of horror or fear When the soldiers
approached to seize her, she shuddered for
an instant, as if she already felt the fangs of
the lion; but immediately this trace of emo
tion vanished, and she signed for them to
lead on. j Yet there was still left one mortal
feeling in her bosom- , As she stepped from
the bar she shrouded her face in her veil to
conceal it from the gaxe of th"e crowd.
' To the lions with her ! Let her be cast
to them at once. Ho ! ,for the'smpithcatre !"
diluted the crowd, ruling tumu'tuously after
i he condemned maiden; struggling and fight
ing with each other to get near that they
might spit upon the prisoner, and now and
then lashing themselves j into a fury so great
that it wa3 w iih difin-ulty the soldiers could
keep the . mob from' tearing her limb from
limb. T The slight frame of the maiden now
hook, perceptibly with terror, for though she
had nerved herself to face the lios3, her vir.
gin delicacy shrank from bdn; midj t!:3 vie
tirncf a coarsoand fcruial rab'-Io.
In thi3 manner her conductors stru-led
, .. CO
through the streets, until in sight of the am
phitheatre. Here at tho corner of one of the
ways, they were met by a vast crowJ com.
posed of the lowest mob of the city, who,
hearing of, the condemnation nf a Nazarene,
had gathered together rips far mischief. Led
on by t-irr.2 cf t!.2 t i t! :ir c ::r- J3,
they had resolved to
-'t it
t lliO cl-iers who
had charge cf t!:o prL-jr-cr, that they might
sacrifice her moro summarily than by the
lions in the arena.
' Stand back I'1 said the captain of the
guard, ur.shcnthirv; his s .vord, cs hs saw the
threatening aspt-ct of the crowd.
' Down v.itlj him !" cried or.a ct the rab-
ble, hurling a miaaile at hia licad. Give us

. '! in, men, cio .3 in!M shouted the
ofil-er, undauntedly. "You pay with your

The little bind gathered in a compact cir
cle round the maidenand prepared to main,
tain the unequal contest, j !
' Down with them ull," shouted ono of the
most prominent of the rioters, ' soldiers and
prisoners they are all secretly Nuzarenes.
Down with them!" . S
With thesa v,ord3, ho!hcaded a rush of the
crowd, that bore back the scanty band of the
soldiery like feathers thaj jaro swept by the
X'tlo. Stones and bricks, meanwhile filled
the air, and though the soldiers were defended
by j jiliield.-, several were wounded. The
prisoner in thii onset, would have fallen a
victim. to tho missiles of tho mob, but for
,v of the more humane of the soldiery,
who covered her with theii bucklers. Thus

their stand until succor should arrive from

B;it the futility cf this hope was soon appa.
restj The moj swelled rapidly, extending
down the thoroughfares "on either band. The
whole city seemed up. There were doubt.
less among the crowd many who were secret-
favorable to, the prisoner, and a still great,
er number who wished not 'to see her perish,
except by a 1 iwful death, Ijbut the more vio.
lent if not most numerous, had attained the
temporary uscendency, anU the others, uncer.
tfinVf t!:-.ir power, were;. afraid to move in
her behalf.
More tbn half of the guard h.td now fall.

The soldiers now began to murmur.
Why should we dio to protect, for an
htiur or two, tho lifo of a iNnzarenc 7? cried
one cf them. 11 Comrades, let us surrender
her to the people.
I A sullen murmur of assent ran alon the
scr.ty ranks", and the mob, hearing tho rou
linous words, desisted and broke into huzzas.
The maiden saw that her hour had come, and
1 sank shuddering to her knees, lifting her ago.

And turning to his troops, he waved his sword

j The word struck terror into the .populace,

From Mr. dishing io the Secretory of Slate.
-A ; ' ; Macao, July 5, 1841.-
Sis, : I have the honor to enclue to you a
copy of the treaty of Wang Hi -, r.3 iJgncd
00 the 3rd inst.
On examining this document, you v. A! find,
in the first pla,cc that, in the description, cf
the contracting parties,' tho language of the
stipulations, and the mode of execution, the
style of perfect equality b4ween tho United
Slates and Cniua has been sedulously ohserv.
ed : and I miadd, that this has been care
fully attended to in the Chiness as JA in
the English duplicate of the treaty. I
You will perceive, in the second place, that
this treaty contains many provisions ! which
are not crr.hreced either in the English treaty
of rat;!vi;:g, qr in tlio treaty supplementary
thereto, which comprehends the tarifl aud the
commercial regulatioas. .
First. The lariiris amended, by tho re.
duction of the, duties on somo orticles of
American production, enJ by fixing; with
greater pr;AA:i, what g jj aru contraband,
or f ' : ' f t " jr. i- !y. ' . .
j h- i..; ht render all commercial privi
!c . j r.jjilory, by prohibiting the exporta.
lh;;i cf tea and, silk, and the importation of
cotton or cotton fabrics ; or he might obstruct
the commerce in these or any oilier articles,
by making them the subjects of close monop.
uly, as is r.o'.v th case with salt..
This is guarded nainst in tho Treaty of
V.T Hiya, by m'Aj t!:e objcts uf con.
trA- .. ! ;:r. 1 rr.jno; :j a matter of sliputaiion
' : v:":i tv.j Governments. And 1:0
iv, ,JA. tion3 cf the laruT aro to be rnade
without the consent of tho United States'.
Czconi.- By thetEn-!ish treaties, the Gin.
sul is security for jthe payment uf duties, and
13 bound to ; . jscute for" all infractions of
the revenue'laws of China. This is to trans
fer to the British Government tho ofiice and
responsibility of paying duties, which involves
much of regulation and of form in the prose,
cution of tuade, which experience has nlrpady
sAr.n to bj inconvenient to 1A3 slIJvcis as
well as the Government hf Grea. Britain.
