Williams; but we could not resist the pleasure of trying to transfer to English such noble specimens of descriptive eloquence.

HAKEM THE SLAVE.
A TALE EXTRACTED FROM THE HISTORY OF POLAND.
CHAPTER I.
Albert Glinksi, the powerful, ostentatious, and intriguing Duke of Lithuania, was passing, distinguished by his glancing plume and gorgeous mantle, through one of the more retired streets of the city of Cracow, at this time (A.D. 1530) the capital of Poland, when a domestic wearing the livery of the palace deferentially accosted him.
"Her Majesty," he said, "commands me to deliver these tablets into your hands; you dropped them in the palace."
"I dropped no tablets," replied the duke; but instantly added, "Yes, they are mine-Give them me."
He took from the hands of the domestic certain tablets of ivory, which folded into a case of gold exquisitely wrought by one of the most skilful artists of Italy, and dismissed the bearer with a liberal gratuity for his services.
