THE ZUNGEED TREE.
Serenade addressed by the author to a Persian "Ga
zelle eyed" one of Jlfghistan.
TheZungeed (a species of willow) has leaves of
a silvery hue, and the flowers, which are of a deep
crimson, send forth a most delicious perfume. When
in blossom, the Zungeed is viewed by the Persians
with ajealous eye, from the belief that it has a str ns
tendency to quicken the love-thoughts of the gentler
sex, whom they accordingly lock up while the flower
is in bloom!
: "To be plain,
I think there's not ha'f a kits to choose
Which loves the other best."
"If that thou lov'st me,
Steal forth this balmy night."
Oh haste thee, ever dearest,
Ever dearest, haste to me,
The pale-eyed moon shall light us soon
Beneath our Zungeed tree;
Whose boughs, with pearls weeping,
Now droop their silver arms,
To veil from sight, this stilly night,
Thy young and maiden charms.
But other arms, my dearest,
Shall clasp thee i th -ir hold
The Zungeed tree may wave o'er thee,
'Tis mine that must infold -Thy
cheek," love, shall out blush it,
Though crimson be its bloom
Wh le murm'ring rise thy tuneful sighs,
To blend with its perfume.
Our Zungeed tree, my dearest,
Is now in rosy flower;
'Twill spread for thee its canopy,
And be our bridal bower.
And hde the stars are keeping
Their azure watch above,
And hearts beat hiijh, and lip3 arcnigh,
We'll tell our tale of love.
Thou com'st, thou com'st, my Peri,
Thy voice is on the breeze;
The Bulbub ne'er could woo the air
With such sweet notes as these.
Now, Zungeed, wave thy branches, -
Wave, wave, thy crimson flowers,
And moon and star go shine afar
A night of bliss is ours.
From the Georgia Constitutionalist.
Vive la Bagatelle. It will b; remembered, that a
short time since, a Durham bull, some where in
Pennsylvania, broke into a mo.-us multicaulis field
and devoured six hundred dollars worth of trees in
one night; and the wag of an editor Who announced
the fact, stated that it Was expected the hull would
begin- to spin in a day or two. This bold outrage
upon so important a staple in our trade, has called
forth the following amusing parody on Gem Mor
ris' "Woodman spare that tree."
TO MY DURHAM.
Tpne. " IFoodmaii spare that Tree."
Durham! spare those trees,
Harm not their tender boughs,
But let them grow in peace,
And elsewhere seek to browse.
'Twas your own master's hand
That placed them in this spot:
Then let my "morus" stand,
Thy mouth shall harm them not.
Those green and thrifty trees,
My hopes must shortly crown,
Then tread not, if you please,
My multicaulis down.
Forbear those midnight haunts,
I've grass and hay to spare;
Oh! save those tender plants,
The silkworms only share.
'Twas not for idle sport,
1 sought this grateful trade,
In all my gushing joy,
I deemed my fortune made.
With care those twigs I've reared,
And weeded with my hand
From grass and rubbish cleared;
Then let, oh! let them stand.
My hopes around them twine, -
As round a needful friend,
Each twig shall yield me coin,
Till wealth shall make me bend.
Old brute! then get thee gone,
And leave this treasured spot,
For while I've club or gun,
Thy mouth shall harm them not.

GENERAL SELECTIONS
The Compassionate Merchant. 'Jarties,'
said a merchant on Main street to his clerk
the other morning 'go down to Water street
to J!,. ., and tell him his rent must be
paid to day; I can't wait any longer, as he is
already two quarters in arrear.'
The clerk obeyed the direction, and soon
returned with great appearance of mildness
about the eyes. 'Mr. wants to see you,
sir, about that rent very much.'
Tbe merchant happily wax at. leisure, and
went at once to visit tbe tenant. He found
him extended upon a coarse bed, in an insen
sible state ol" dangerous a malady. His wife
was busy over a scanty fire apparently prepar
ing some aliment for her sick husbaud.
Three little children sat shivering in a corner.
His approach was unnoticed. . .-,
'Ma,' said one of the little urchins, 'when
be you agoing to get breakfast?'
Breakfast, my dear child, that is more than
I can tell.' -
The merchant advanced.
'My gooj womau-my good woman
them that is' and the worthy man felt very
much like choaking. He grasped his pocket
book convulsively, and laid some bills upon
the table he opened the door ami disappear
ed. 'James,' said he again to his clerk, 'take
this order to Mr. , and te!l him to have
the provisions delivered immediately.'
The merchant felt much better than he
would have doue if he had got the rent.
There is something in a good action that
makes one's heart teel lighter warmer bet
ter. We would publish the good man's name,
but we know he would not forgive it, and we
would not for the world offend him.

PERILOUS ADVENTURE AT THE
FALLS.
An occurrence of most thrilling interest
took place at Niagara Falls yesterday after
noon, attended with imminent peril to the
lives of two individuals, but resulted in a
most happy and providential deliverance.
The new bridge to Iris island is planted in
a frightful rapid, where the current is from 20
to 30 miles an hour, and is only about 100
or 150 yards above the brow of the great pre
cipice, or perpendicular fall. A carpenter by
the name of Chapin was engaged with others
in covering the bridge, and while at work
upon a staging about one hundred feet from
Iris island, accidentally losthis footing, and
was precipitated into the rapids, and in the
twinkling of an eye swept away towards the
great cataract. Speedy and inevitable de
struction seemed to await him; but fortunately
he was uninjured by the fall, and even in
this most hopeless condition retained perfeci
self-possession. Turning his eye toward the
only point of hope above the fearful preci
pice, be succeeded, by great dexterity in
swiming, in effecting a landing upon a little
island some twenty feet in width and length,
the outermost of the group of little cedar is
lands situated some thirty or forty yards above
the fulls, and about equi-disfant from Croat
island and the American shore.
There he stood for an hour, looking calmly
and beseechingly back upon the numerous
spectators who lined the bridge and shores,
but with whom he could hold no conversa
tion on account of the distance, and the roar
of the rapids.
There is a man in the village of the Falls
by the name of Robinson, of extraordinary
muscular power, great intrepidity, and with
al an admirable boatman and he was proba
bly the only one that could have been found
within fifty miles who generously volunteer
ed his services to attempt reaching the island
in a boat, End bring Chapin off. A light
boat of two oars, similar in construction to
the Whitehall race boats, was soon procured,
and he embarked.
lie proceeded with great deliberation and
consummate skill, darting his little boat across
the rapid channels, and at the intervening ed
ciies holding up to survey his situation and
recruit his strength for the next trial. In a
few minutes he neared the island, but a rapid
channel still intervened, sweeping close to
the island, and rendering the attempt to land
very difficult. He paused for a moment, and
then with all his strength darted across and
sprang from his boat his foot slipped, and he
fell backward into the rapid current.
With the spectators it was a moment of thril
ling interest and breathless silence, his boat
seemed inevitably lost, and himself in fearful
jeopardy. Retaining, however, his grasp oa
the boat, he sprang in, and again seising the
oars brought up under th lee of the little is
land. All again felt a momentary relief, but
still the great labor and hazard of the enterprise
remained to be overcome. A cool head and
a strong arm only could effect it. Robinson
proved qual to the task. Taking his com
panion onboard, in the same careful and
deliberate manner, though at infinitely greater
hazard and labor, they effected a safe landing
on Goat island.
There the spectators assembled to give
them a cordial greeting. A scene of great
excitement ensued the boat was drawn up
the bank, and it was moved and carried by ac
clamation that a collection be taken up on the
spot for Chapin and his noble hearted deliver
er Robinson. It was a generous one and
was thankfully received; but the reflection to
Robinson that he has rescued a fellow being
under such circumstances will be to his gene
rous heart a much richer one. After the col
lection, Robinson and Chapin took their scats
in the boat, and were carried in triumph on
the shoulders of their neighbors to the vil
lager The intense interest of the whole scene
was heightened by the presence of Chapin's
wife and children, who stood on the shora
watching with unavailing horror and agony
what seemed his inevitable and . fearful fate.
With what devout and heartfelt gratitude must
they have thanked God, when the husband
and parent once more stood by their side safe
and sound.

French Steamboats. A private letter from
Marseilles, conveys the intelligence, that the
Chief Naval Engineer,' who had charge of
the direction of steamboats in the Mediter
ranean, had received orders from the French
Government, to prepare a plan of organiza
tion for steam packets between Bourdeaux
and New York. Marshal Souk interests
himself greatly in the immediate execution
of this plan, which has both a military and a
commercial object. These packet boats are
to be of such size and construction, that they
may readily be converted into ships of Vvar
of eighty guns:
The largest engines yet employed are of
lour hundred horse power. It is proposed
to give the engines of the French steamers,
four hundred arid fifty horse power.
The railroad projected between Havre
and Paris has failed. The bin authorizing
it was lost in the Chamber of Deputies on
the 8th of July. Globe.
Arrival of ihe Great fVestern. -The news
paper offices awaiting the arrival of either of
the steamships, when her time has run out,
presents an appearance pretty much like a
ship of war preparing for action. Tompions
out; cartridge and ball in the boxes; men at
the ropes; officers at their, stations; matches
lighted; captain on deck, with spy glass and
trumpet near; signal officer ready; marines
with loaded muskets; Doctor Snuffiebags in
the cock-pit; main sail cUwed up; &c. &c. &c.
Here we are, aud have been for the last twenty-four
hours, in a similar state of prepara
tion, only with more pacific objects. Cases
Hlfrilled: men at their stations; devils all ready
for copy; men at the pre5-wheels; ink trough
filled; paper in good soaking condition; girls
that lay on the sheets, with aprons tucked up
and folders in hand, ready for the signal. All
that is now wanted is the long, high black
ship to heave in sight, aud Cisco, our hews
collector, to enter, with the packages under
his arm, detailing all that is" hoped for, looked
for, and desired. Crops ample; coin plenty;
and the Chartists quiet. If on the contrary?
Why, so we must hope for the besf; exert all
our energies; prepare for the fall election, and
look out for the next bteamship.

Jeios In The Holy Land. Mr. Moses
Monte-Fiore, brother-in-law of the present
Baron Rothschild, lately made a visit to Egypt
and Syria. He made propositions to the
Viceroy for three objects:
1. To establish a commercial bank in
Egypt, with a capital of two millions sterl-ing-
2. To purchase territory in Syria, for the
benefit of the Jews.
3. To make the oath -of Jews admissible
in Syria, as in Egypt. Globe.
Singular. A British Captain at the battle
of the Nile, was giving an order from the
quarter deck of his vessel, when a shot struck
him in the head, deprived him instantaneous
ly of sense and speech. Living, however, he
was taken home and remained in the Green
wich hospital fifteen months. At the end of
that period, during which h had exhibited no
signs of intelligence, an operation was per
formed on him by a skilful surgeon, that in a
moment restored him to his faculties. He
immediately rose iu his bet, and completed the
order!

ed at New Orleans, from Liverpool, Havana
and St. Louis, $326,273 in specie.
