I felt toward the evening vpiittexhausted. I espied from afar no solitary tent, to which I turned niv wearv Meps. An isolated tent in the Asiatic desert is never recorn tiiended ; hut I had -.nothing; to choose, and soon lecide.d to ask the hospitality .of its inhabitants for that night. I entered; with the usual dervTsh chants, and with a loud ''Selain Aleikutn,' (Peace on you.) A tall, wild looking Turkoman re ce'.ved me at the dour. He told me to sit down. We exchanged thei customary salutations,' arid soon found ourselves in a Ieep conversaj tion on-religion, horse breeding and forays; the favorite; topics of these nomads. ' - I ; , When the Hin was nearly j scV or the vast and wild .desert landscape, I saw my host growing more and more restless and , unquiet. He sat ilown and rose agamk went out ami came back, without speaking to mp a single word. . I felt ,1 little un comfortable. . Suddenly he ap proached nie, and with a rather bashful air asked if I would not lend him some krans (money,) as he in tended to treat me with a dish of rice meat (a special meat. for guests,) and was highly puzzled at his not possessing a single farthing to buy rice. To lend money, I thought, is, certainly better than to be robbed of it. I opened my purse and gave him ' five krans,' which he hastily took. and hurried ayay to make the lieces- sary . purcuasu. ai, a icin, nuitu 1' ... .......

At length the-, too began to eat. t We became more ami more friendly.

V The next - morning I. rose caily, haele farewell to niy host, who iap peared to he extremely touched, and after I gave him and his horse (as is the custom)-. a. parting blessing, I left the tent for my return to Gomush- uTJ . 1 . ;.; I- ). I hail notj yet. been distant more than half ah hour's walk from the 'tent when I! suddenly heard, a loud shouting behind Ltnei which sum moned me to stop iu the most threat ening terms! Seeing a well armed horseman in pursiiit, I stopped im mediately. My persecutor ajipioach-1 ed ,at a slow pace, and you , may tancv mv astonishment, when I re cognized in Ids person my. host of the past evening, that very Turko- man I blessed an hour before. j ' "Stop, hadji, cried my frietnl, with" a deep vofoe and downcast cyer 7 'give iine vour p,urse, and all you limits.

' As robbery is not an ofl'encc in the eyes of a Turkoman, I thought it ad visable to oLey j his summons. , I handed him 'my purse, also about three or four spoonsful of green teal I had on me, and a piece of old chintz! which ' I used instead of a hundker-j chief. lie took all my propertv without 'the slightest conipunction,, put it jn his sack",; and just wjhen I was rtady to Continue my Way, I19 called me back, opened my purse. (now Jiis own,) and gave me five krans from it, J.saying, "there, liadjl, take niy debt of vest erday. I think jit was jiist five gratis. I don't like to be a debtor.". .' '- ' : - : i': What ii strange honesty ! thought I to myself, as, Ij took the money. The robber appeared (juite satisfied j In his views of social and moral life he had accomplished a poble klecd. and5 was impudent enough to ask mej dn my parting for a second blessing,! which of coui-se I coulcf not refuse.; I believe bis j untausht conscience was perfectly satisfied in the whole transaction.- : ' - Such pictures of. mingled virtues and vices are often found among the uomads of Central Asia.

Some . . -. t . -. tfay.s sincey while looking 'after' her wooly wards, she discovered -a large wolf of the cayofe species,' and an uncommonly large oue, stealthily approaching the flock,' when she put ler horse- to his speed, and the wolf, eeUng that his sanitary condition in i that 'locality was very unsatisfactory 3 the race and chase began, neither showing any indication Of fatiguej until finally he yas com) elled to consider himself "run down.'

Xotiiing daunted, liowevcr, she im- buckied her bridle lein, and with the ring at the end, aiid this only, made good her position as inistyess of lhe situation, and vithout alighting' from her saddle, she had soon di'sabled her foe, saved her lambs, and deprived him of at least one toothsome mor sel.
