THE GOLDEN FLEECE.
BY EDOUARDLABOULAYE. Translated by
MARY L. BOOTH.
_ I love the Ser‘vians; they are a brave peo-
pic, that remind me 0f;the heroes of Homer.
Their war-songs are epic poems; and their
tales have the freshness ”and gr'ace of the
marvelous stories of the East. The follow-
ing is one of the most celebrated‘ones lately
told by an old spinning-woman of the banks
of the Moraw‘a to Vouk Stevanovitch.
There once lived a- hunter at Kroujevatz by
thename of Yanko Lazarevitch. He was the
king of the mountain.
property was a little cottage, surrounded by
a garden, lie lived there in peace arid plenty
with his wife and child. . His bees gave him
honey, and his plum-trees the best brandy
in the country; and, thanks to his carabine,
game was never wanting on his table. The
film have fields, mines, and treasures, Yanko
had the forest to himself. The hares, roe-
bucks, and deer for ten miles round belonged
to him ; and when at Belgarde, Widni,Pesth,
and even Constantinople, men desired a fine
skin of the fox or the hear, they addressed
themselves to none other than Yanko, the
hunter of Kroujevatz.
Though his sole
Happiness is like the flower of the fields
—it withers in a day. In a beautiful autumn
night Yauko was on the watch when' he
spiedastrange light in the distance. The
trees of the forest were lighted up one by
one as if from the flame Of a furnace, and
then fell again into the shadow as the light
continued to advahce. At the same time he
sheard‘the sound-Of a heavy tread and the
crackling of the branches. To quit his cov-
er and rush forward was the work of an in-
, , Feed. stant. Suddenly there issued them the wool
— a huge ram, whose eyes shot fire, and whose
fleece glittered like the rays of the sun. Yan-
ko raised his carbine, but the animal rushed
on him like lightning and dashed him-to the
ground.
The next morning at. daybreak the wood-
choppers on their way to work found the
poor hunter stretched lifeless and already
cold in death. His breast was pierced with
two deep Wounds, from which his blood and
life had ebbed. The wood-choppers .bore
the body of their brave comrade back to the
town, where he was hurried and all was over.
In the happy abode, which so lately had
rung with Yanko’s merry shouts,naught was
to be heard but the moans of his widow and
the sobs of hisrchild.
Gay or sad the years pass by, bearing with
them our pleasures and our pains. Stoian,
the son of Yanko, grew to be a man, and
hiafirst desire was to become a hunter. He
had his father’s blood in his veins, and while
still a child, his greatest delight had been to
see and handle the combine that was hang-
ing On the wall. But when he entreated his
mother to give him this fatal weapon and let
him go into the forest the poor Woman burst
into tears. ‘
'“No, my chil ,’-’ she said, “for no money
in the world wOuld Ilgivc' yOu this cara-
bine. I have already lost my husband; do
” you want me to lose my son 1’”
Stolen held his peace and kissed his moth-
er; but the next dayhe returned to the at-
tack, and was so tender and ‘caressing, and
promised so strongly to be prudent, that he
ended by having his way. , ,
Early in the morning Stoian hastened to
the mountain, intOxicated' with delight. He
hunted all day, and at evening sought a
cover at the very place where his father had
died. .
The night was ‘dark, had the young, tired
hunterwas giving‘w'ay, despite himself, to
sleep, when he was awakened by .a loud
noise. He spied a strange light; he saw the
trees of the forest lighted up one aller- anoth-
er as if from a flaming furnace, and he heard
a heavy tread and the noise of crackling
branches. Without quitting his cover Stoian
aimed his carabine and commended himself
to God. Suddenly there issued from the
wood a large ram, whose eyes shot fire, and
whose fleece .glittered like the rays of the
sun.
“Stolen! Stolen 1” it cried, “I have killed
thy father, and I Come to kill thee.”
“Not so,” answered the youth ; “with God‘s
help I shall kill thee instead.” _ ' ‘
And he took aim so well that the animal,
struck between its eyes, fell back and rolled
on the ground. '
Stoian threw himself on the animal, and
stabb‘l it to the heart. He bud just begun
and Druggists, throughout the State.
to strip off its fleece when a tall woman with-
raven tresses and sea-green eyes appeared
at his side. It was the fairy, of the forest,
the Vila of the mountain. ‘
“Stoian,” said she, “thou has delivered me
from an enemy: take my hand; I am thy
sister. Whenever thou uecdcst aid think of
me.” '
The young hunter thanked .the lady and
returned to ,Kronjcvatz,,happy_ and proud of
‘ hiahuniing expedition. The golden fleece,
suspended on the wall, Iightednp the whole
room. Men flocked from all parts of the
province to admire it. Stoian was pro-'
claimed king of the mountain, like his father
before him; and all the young girls smiled
on him as he passed by.
.Atthis' time theTurk;—whom God cen-
found l—was master of Sci-via. ; Reschid, the
pasha of Belgrade, was an ex-janizary, who'
perhaps had been brave in his‘day; but he
was now nothing but a selfish and coarse old
man, whopsssed his life in drinking, smo-
king, and sleeping. To aid him in govern-
ing a people whose language, religion, and
customs he despised, he had by his side a
renegade from none knew where, one' of
those miscreants without faith or law, who
live by. rapine alone. Yacoub—for such was
the name of this honest man—had a low
brow, weasel eyes, a nose like the beak of
an eagle, and ten fingers more hooked than
his nose. Of all the words in the language
the one that he knew best was take; which
he conjugated at all times and in all ways.
As to the word rutm'e,_he was ignorant of it.
May Eblis teach it to him eternally in the
infernal abodes l
There is a common proverb, that a Turk
makes more havoc than ten wolves, and that
in this respect a renegade is equal to ten
Turks—Yacoub did not belie the proverb.
One day when Reschild went to Kroujevatz
on a hunting expedition, Yacoub, according
to custom, set about collectifig the taxes for
his own profit.- To do him justice, however, .
he did give some portionJo his master, who
gaveu one to_the Sultan.
On entering Stoian’s house the rcnegade’s
eyes were dazeled by the golden fleece. His
eyes sparkled with greed, and his hands
clenched convulsively.
“My son.” said he to the hunter, “this is a
beautiful thing. The pacba should know all
the beasts of the forest; carry him the fleece
of this ram. It belongs to him.”
“The fleece is mine,” answered Stoian ; “I
shall give itto no One.” .
“Who speaks to thee about giving 1'” re-
joined the renegade. “With the great ofthe
earth every. gift is an exchange. The pacha
thy master and mine, is too generous to re-
main under obligations to a raya.”
“I do not wish to sell my property, but to
keep i ” replied Stoian. '
“Weigh thy wwds, young man,” said the
renegade, frowning. “Pride brings misfor-
tune, and the pacha’s arm is long. I wish
this fleece; I must have it.”
For his sole answer Stolen took down his
carabine and showed the renegade the door-
“Restrain thy anger, my son,” 'said Yacoub
making his way out as fast as possible.—
“The day may come when thou wilt regret
not having followed my counse .’-’ '
On his return to the palace .thc renegade
found Reschid draining glass after'glass of
the white wine of Semendria.
“Taste this wine,” said he to Yacob, “it is
Tokay. Should the cadis try it they would
exchange their whole Koran for a bottle."
“It is excellent,” answered the renegade;
“but it is not equal to the white wine that I
drunk at Smyrna. It is true that the pacha
there possésses a vine that bears grapes
which have no equal.”
“He is a happy man,” said Reschid, get-
ting drunker every moment. -
“What hinders you from being as happy
as he ‘2" asked Yacoub. “ There is in this
country a certain Stoian, a kind of sorcerer,
who in a week could plant you a vine and
give you grapes likeliis. But he might put
on some airs about it.”
“Airs!” said the Turk, shrugging his shoul-
ders; “send him a janizary, and tell him
that if in a week I do not have a vine and
grapes as good as those of Smyrna Iwill cut
off his head.”
“That’s an argument which admits of no
answer,” cried Yacoub, laughing heartily;
and adding, between his teeth, “The golden
fleece is mine.” , _
0n receiving this sad news Stoian burst.
into tears.’ “Alas, mother, we are lost!” lie
exclaimed. . '
“My son,” answered his poor mother, “did
I not tell thee that this carabine would cost
thee thy life, as it did that of thy father?”
The young man rushed from the' cottage
in despair, and wandered hither and thither,.
without caring where. At the foot of the
mountain a young girl passed him. “Broth‘
er, why dost thou Weep i” said ‘she.
“God help thee, thou canst do nothing to
aid me in my trouble l” he answered.
“How canst thou tell?” said she; “we nev-
er know our friends till we have tried them!"
The hunter raised his head, and recog-
nized the fairy. He threw himself weeping
into her arms, and told her all the wicked»
ness of Yacoub and folly of the pacha.
“Is that all ?” said the fairy. “Courage,
brother; I am with you. Go to the pacha,
ask him where he wishes the vine planted,
and tell him to dig the trenches. Then take
a sprig of basil, plant it at the spot, and sleep
quietly in the new garden. Within a week
you will gather ripe grapes.”
Stoian did all that Vila commanded him.
On the same day be planted the sprig of
basil; but he had little confidence in the
promises of the fairy, and went to sleep with
a heavy heart. He rose before the sun, and
ran to look in the trenches; the shoots were
already beginning to appear above the
ground. On the second day they were fully
grown, on the ‘third they unfolded their
leaves, and on the fourth they were in flower.
On the sixth day, although it was spring,
the grapes were golden. Stoiau'gathercd
and pressed them, and carried to his terrible
master a flagon Of sweet wine and a plate of
ripe grapes. ._ ' "
At the sight of this marvelous vintage all
were astonished save-the pacha, who regard-
ed it as ’quite u'atural,and did not even thank
hands. . .
“Well,” said.Rcschid to Yacoub, “what
do you think of my power ? I am nota sor-.
'cerer; it is my boast.- When you have the
sword in hand you need know nothing nor
have nothing; the money and withf others
—all is yours."
.“I admire the, genius of your highness,”
replied the renegade, bowing, “and hope,
therefore, that he will not leave his work
unfinished.” ‘
“Does my vineyard lack Any thing ‘3” ask-
ek Reschid, with a discontented air.
“It lacks the ivory towier which,at Smyrna
is the admiration of believers and the de-
spair of infldels.” ~
' “Is that all i" said the pacba, “mime

Stolen h ed to his mother, weeping.
“Alas! moi we are lost,” he cried.
“Go, my , run to the mountain, and
perhaps you will find there our protector
and Mood.”
The young man hastened to the mountain
and called the fairy three times. She came
to him, smiling, and listened with tender-
ness.
“Is that all ?” said she. “Courage, brother

lady, and did her the honorsiof his ship; in
every shop Were displayed the richest studs,
and the rarest jewels flashed before her eyes
—rings, bracelets, necklaces, and diadems.
The princess and her maids were like larks
before a mirror; the day passed without
hundred pipes of brandy, and twelve car-
penters; then 'set sail and ‘ keep straight

mountains, land, drain the pond which you.

Return to the vineyard with your conquest,
take with you a; sprig of basil,'and sleep
quietly in the new garden;‘iu a week the
tower of ivory will be built.” _ '
Stoian did all that the fairy commanded
him. The ship stopped between the two
mountains, the pond was drained, and was
then filled with wine and brandy. _
At nightfall the elephants hastened hither
in heaps. The first that tasted the brandy
appeared astonished, but he soon returned
with pleasure, and all the rest followed his
example. There was universal delight,noisc
and tumult. All Elephant Land seemed
keeping holiday. In contempt'of etiquette
the king of the elephants danced a pas seal,
and the queen waltzed with a young cham-
berlain. Then the whole band fell into a
heavy sleep, and the carpenters commenced
their work. Blush not at thy discomfiture,
good people of elephants; thou art not the
firit that have let their teeth be filed ofi‘ du-
ring sleep or drunkenness, and thou wilt not
be the Iain!
On his return Stoian caused this huge
mass of ivory to be placed in the garden.
Uacoub hid behind the wall, and watched
the young hunter, in hopes to learn his
secret; but Stoian passed the whole day in
singing plaintive songs, accompanying him-
self on the guzla. When night cast its veil
on the earth nothing was done. Yacoub
withdrew, rubbing his hands. “He is lost,
thought he ; “the golden fleece is mine l”
But the next morning the foundations of
the ivory tower were laid; and the second
sixth it was complete, with its dome and
minarets. For ten leagues ‘around it shone
in the sun whiter than the sea lighted by the
silvery moan.
At the sight of this marvelous edifice all
were astonished‘save the patch, who thought
it quite natural, and did not even thank poor
Stoian. '
“Well i” said he to Yacoub, stroking the
hilt of his yatahan, “what do you think of
my power 2”
“I admire the genius of your Highness,”
answered the renegade, bowing, “and hope,
therefore, that be will not leave his work
unfinished.” '
“Does my ivory tower lack anything?”
asked Reschid, with a discontented air.
- “It lacks the Princess of the Indies.—
What is the ivory tower if it does not con‘
tain the master-piece of creation i"
“Thou art right,” returned the pacha, “it
is the bird that gives value to the cage.—
Coine hither, young man,” said he to Stolen.
“Go, bring me the Princess of the Indies. If
thou returnest without this miracle of beau-
ty I will cut off thy head. Thou hast heard
—0bey l” 1 . ‘
Stoian' hastened ,to his mother, weeping,
“Alas! mother, we are lost; thou wilt never
more behold thy child l” ,
“Go, my son, run to the mountain, and
perhaps you will ‘ find there our protector.
, 'The young man hastened to the mountain
and called the fairy three times. She came.
to him, smiling, and listened with tender-
ness. - ‘
“Is that all i” said she. “Courage, brother
I am 'with thee‘. Go to the pacba, and ask
him for a large ship. In this ship build
twelve fine shops, and fill them with more
stuffs and jewels than are seen in all the ba-
zars of Constantinople. Putin these shops

curious; amuse her all day, but as soon as

The next day the Princess of the Indies,
followed by twelve companions, repaired to
the shore in a magnificent palanquin,drawn
their astonished and delighted eyes off all
these wonders.
As soon as night. fell on the sea Stolen
weighed anchor and set sail. At the first
mOtion of the vessel the princess was alarm-
ed; she hastened on deck and, taking the
paroquet on her do r, “Dear bird,” said she
“fly to my father a tell him that strangers
are carrying off his chil .’?
The paroquet took flight, but Stolen in-
stantly flung the falcon’s feather in the air,
crying, “My brother, the falcon, come to my
aid I”
And lo! a black speck appeared afar Ofi' '
in the heavens._ It was the falcon, which
cleaving the air, fell on the paroquet, and
carried it to a rock to devour it.
The princess looked at Stoian with a dis
dainful air, and cast her ring into the sea.
The ship instantly stopped as though it had
stranded on a shoal. In vain the wind whis-
tled through the sails—a hidden. force held
the vessel motionless.

rode along, but the women gazed at Stoian.
Handsome, proud, and melancholy, he won
the gaze of all. . '
On entering the palace where the pacha
was awaiting her‘ the princess removed her
veil. At the sight of this wonderful beauty
Reschid,forgettin his age,ran'to the prin-
cess with a (tomb g step and attempted to
embrace her. But she repulsed him so
roughly‘ that, if the faithful Yacoub had not
been there, .the pacha, despite his power,
would have fallen and broken his nose.
“Ob, beautiful savage l” he cried, “what
has your slave done that you should treat
him in this way i” '
“You are'an ill-bred fellow,” , answered
the princess, haughtily. “You neither ask
my name nor that of my father; you know
neither who I am nor what I wish. Am I a
bound or hawk to be taken thus by force ?
Know that he who marries me must possess
a double youth—that .of the soul and that of
the body.” ‘ ‘ ‘
“My soul is very youthful,” said the pacha;
“as to the body, I ask nothing, better than
to rejuvenate it, were it only to "marry and
enjoy a long life with you. But where is
the means ‘3" ' .
“I have found the means,” replied the prin-
cess. “Here is a flask which contains the
water of immortality. . Order your head to
be cut‘ofl'; once dead, I will sprinkle you
with this magic water, had render you as
young and beautiful ,asyou were at twenty.”
The pacha.made a grimace, then, looking
round, his eye fell on Stoian, and he fi'Owned.
“I do not doubt the power of this marvel-
ous water,” said be, “but I should not Object
to seeing it first tried. What if I make the
experiment on this handsome fellow, whose
face displeaies me, I know not why. Cdme
hither, rays; to rejuvenate you, I am about
tocut ofl’ your head.” , _ '
“I am young enough to dispense with the
trial,” answered Stoian, looking at the beau-
tiful Indian; “but should I die I will not
shrink from danger. What- matters life to
me ?" '

the consideration of the Senate. '
.Imay remark,lir.Presideut,iu theflrst place,”
one reason why these disabiiiiu shall! be moved,
that in their origin they were intended by Congress
to be only temporary. The third section of the
fourteenth amendment nrovidesupou its lies that the
disabilities imposed thereby may be at anytime re-
moved by a vote of two-thirds of both Hausa ofCon-
gress. The limitations of- thesutl’rage in the recon-
struction acts are by their very terms com to the
transition period between the cessation of arms and
the full restoration of the Union. / That the latter
were thus intended to be temporary is evident born
the acts theinselver that the former was proposed
to the people w; the same intention appears both
from the debates in Congress at that time and tom
the language of the amendment itself. ’l'or the pur-
pose of rendering this clear I beg leave to read a
brief extract from the debates in the Sen-w on the
30th of May, 1368, when this third section was under
consideration. The Senator from Ohio [In Sun;
sun] in commenting upon the sectitm remarks:
“But I take it all of us understand the meaning of
the third section. It is tha foratime at least, all
who have violated, not only . e letter, but the spirit
of the oath of olllce they took when they- e oin-
cers of the UnitedStates, and took the oath to sup-
port the Constitution of the United States, shall not
old office until a state ofadaiis shall come when two
Houses mav, by a general amnesty,
thirds of both ,
wipe out all these-disabilities
And this general understandingihus refined to by
the Senator from Ohio is clearly evident throughout
the whole of those debates. The question, therefo‘ re,
arises whether the time has come for “wiping out all
these disabilities.” 1 take it in the flrstplaec, inreL
fereuce to the disabilities imposedbythcilirdsec—
tion of the fourteenth nticle of manhunt-that
when the necessity for the existence of those diss- ,
bilities shall have passed away Congress and the pee- ‘ '
ple of the United States will desire Us» the disabil-
ties themselves shall moved. In order to nest-
tain whether the time lies now arrived when it can
be truly said that that necessity has posed away, it
maybewelltoinqnireintothe original My of
any such amendment to the Constitution at all, and
for this purpose it is wellto examine the history of
the fourteenth amendment, to coincides the time It
which it was prepared and promulgated tothe people,
and the circumstances which gut-rounded it.
Itwas prepared“ the first session of ihe'i'hirty-
Ninth Congress, and for the purpose of bringing
abc a more speedy restoration of the Union. It
was prepared en‘account of the fact that no influen-
tial class in the southern communities, composing
the great slave-holding Ind land-holding m
and which included, also, the hold-I of also there

allegiance to the GeneralGovermueut into insures». '
tion and rebellion against the authority ofthe nation.
It was bellend that it finances-say to emancipste
the southerumssses from the influence and control
of this oligarchy which had‘rule‘dtlieli, and that by
taking away that influence and control the masses
themselves would return to loyal allcgleuce to the
Govemmcntg.’ud' communities be built up there
which could be safely intruded with the resumption
of the functions “States in the Federal Union. So
that the great object of the third section of the
amendment was the emancipation of the masses of
the voting population of the South from the control
of the oligarchy which was believed, tobem'uinly re-
sponsible for the rebellion. ‘
At that time, it must be remembered during the
first. session of the Thirty-Ninth Congress, the idea
had not entered into the minds of the majority of our
statesman that a loyal elenient was lobe developed in
the southern States by enhanchlalnl' ’ ' the colored pop-
ulation. The Whole theory of the {curteeuth amend-
ment, during ,the first session of the Thirty-Ninth
Congress, was that under the operation of the mend-
ment the political power ofthose communities was to
remain in the old voting or white pepulaticu, except
so far as they should; by their on action, consent to
share it with the colored chines; and hence the as-
cesslty of emancipating the masses of the white pop-
ulation from the control of those who had led them
into insurrection._ ”

with her marvelous water, and Stoian arose
full of life and health, and so young and
handsome withal the pacha, mad with jeal-
ousy, cried. ' _ '
“Make me young again, princess, without
losing a moment.” >
He calledthc janizary and gave him his
orders; then spying 'Yacoub, who was pre-
tending to weep— '.
“Poor Yacoub, my‘ faithful friend, my
right hand,” said he, “I can not leave thee
old while I am young; we shall no longer
understand each other. No, my friend, I
am not selfish; I need thee, and we must
both grow young together. We will both
be beheaded at the same time.”
At this mark of friendship Yacoub turned
as pale as death. He attempted to speak: and
opened his lips; but the signal was given,
in an instant his head rolled on the ground
by the side of that‘of the pacha.
“Take away these corpses,” said the prin-
cess, coldly, “and throw to the dogs the body
of this insolent fellow who dared insult me.”
At these words every one looked at his
neighbor, the Turks frowned, but the Ser-
vians drew their swords and said, “The
princess is right; the insult has fallen on the
head of him that otfered‘it. ' Woe tohim
