" THE GOOD OLD TIMES » have liberty of speech,|a free pr«»8, equsl laws, and atolerablo share ol personal I teedom. If we wish to travel, the steam locomotive takes us as far in one hour, as was painfully performed between sunrise and sunset, on bad roads, in the days of the Tudors, or even of the Stuarts. Do we desire to cross the world of waters which divides the New World from the Old, we can do it in ten days—a period often con. sumed before Fulton's application ol steam aa a motive power, iu the transit between Liverpool and Dublin. If we want intelligence, the electric fluid itself—*h«t which our FiiAMKLirt snatched from Heaven—i» our vassal, and brings us news altnos: as rapidly as thought itself can speed. (What would have been said in •* the good old times," at the particulars of a battle fought in the Black Sea being transmitted across Europe to l«ondou and thence to New York in twenty days ?) II we desire to obtain instruction or entertainment, for the siudi ous or the leisure hour, machinery cheap ens, by multiplying, the productions of human intellect, and books—a rarity in former day.s—are at our hand at a cost which is marvellously low. Or, if we ask for a record of occurrences, with comments on tlw transactions and politics ol the whole world, there are newspapers, nearly un. known, and always shackled, in th« olden lime, which spread knowledge through the land, and are themselves the handmaids ol civilization : In a word, the day. laborer of the present day is happier, wiser, freer, belter iiifoimeii, better clothed, better housed, and better fed than even the proud nobles of England were under Hun. rv Tcdok. THE TURKISH HAREM. Over this, at times, a loose jacket of blu« or scarlet is thrown, extending to the waist around which is ever entwined a girdle of rich crimson silk or embroidered satin, to sustain a full robe which reaches to the Icnee, and which is generally made of lha finest silk of a sky blue color, with a crimson satin stripe. Beneath this Are fastened the Turkish trowsers filing lightly around the ancle and with them loose and ample (olds falling over the foot, concealed in an embroidered slipper. They are usually compto. sed of the same stuff of the dress. The head is either encircled in a small gay cashmere shawl or a scarlet cap, decorated with a largo .gold tassel is coquettishly placed on, to display the beauty and luxuriance of the hair, dressed to suit the fancy of each person. During 'he winter a looso brocade robe lined with ermine or sable, is gracefully thrown around them to protect them from the cold. The arm is usually bare and loaded with the richest bracelets, whilst the fingers, the lips of which are dyed with henna, are covered with rinza. One would naturally suppose that tno Turkish women, living a* they do in a state of separation, would suffer much from ennui; but such is nut the caae. They pass their lives in a circle of amusementa compatible with their tastes. They are playing or reoeiving the visita of iheir friends. Much of their lime ia spent upon their toilet, and they amuse them, selves by eating and dancing. Though they are ignorant of the intellectual enjoyment of reading, their time does not prove so irksum as one would imagine. Born and educated within the precincta of the harem, they know nothing of a happier life beyond ii; and they do not idly repine for those pleasures of which they are ignorant, aud which the have never tasted. The watchful vigilefico of the eunocb, instead of constantly reminding them of their imprisonment only strengthens their belief of tbe high estimate their husbands plaoe upon personal ohannft. Alter the labors of the, the Turk entera hi« hsrem to unbend himself, and throw aside those stately maaners which he ever adopts in public. 'Tis then his wives and laves cluster around him to while away his time and display before him their varied charms and graces. One sings 'to to him some favorite air upon the harpschit cord j another gratifies his eyes by going through the motions of some voluptuous dance; while perhaps the favoriie one will nestle more closely upon the di. van beside film, and gently narrate some wondrous fairy tale so peculiar to '.he Kast.

The word harem is an one, sig nifying a sanctuary, and is used merely to designate the apartments appropriated to the female portion of the Turkish household. No place is more sacred in the eye of the Turk ; its entrance ia guarded with as much vigilance as the shrine of his prophet. No male footstep, other than thai of its lord arid master, ever crosses its threshold or treads its floor. The greeneyed monster jealousy, not content with those guardians, which nature has created, has in the discovered aud formed others, whose lynx-eyes are scarcely ever to be deceived. Ttiose hidious Nubians, of neutralized gender, like Cerberus ol old, are ever stationed and watchful at its door. But humanity is frail, and even they, sometimes slumber. Iiifiiebuiia Autbracite Journal GO AHEAD! It is a common and conventional error among the British people, to praise the " wisdom ol our ancestors ; to be eulogistic on '.lie social virtues ol "bluffKing Hal," and to the golden days of '• good Queen Bess," and to speak of "the good old times," as if the Present were in no way equal to ths Past, as if Henry VIII. was not a wife murderer, and Elizabeth Tudor a despot. Of all the English Statesman livingr. we should have thought that Sir William Molcsworth, once a leader of the extreme Badioal party, and editor of the workes of Hobbes, the smoking philosopher of Mainiesbury—would have eschewed the slang and cant of heaping praise upon " the good old times." Yot he did so praise them a few weeks ago when speechifying at Ed iugburg, (on receiving the complimentary freedom of that ancient and redolent metropolis,) and wo oau only conjecture that a "change came o'er the tpiril of his dream" since he became an office holder, theieby showing the truth of Moore's couplet: PUBLISHED WKBKLV BY GKORCJE M.

Tin apartments of the harem are usually the finest ana most spacious. Those in the houses of the wealthy oonsist of a large suit of rooms, furnished in the Orieutal style, and gilded and frescoed after the Moorish fashion. Each inmate has lior separate apartment, and there is generally a common sitting room, its marble floor covered with nob carpels, and in the centre is a fountain, around which the women collect to while away their time in listening to its gentle murinera. The windows are covered with blinds of exceedingly close latiice-work, with *m»ll apertures in the centre, enabling the fair ptisouers unseen to observe what is pausing. Polygamy is by uo means so universal in Turkey as is generally supposed. Tho' the Koran permits belivers to have foui wives, very few avail themselves of the privelege ;'at:d though the number of ihetr cieorgian, Circassian and other slaves is only limited by the capacity of their purse, it is but seldom (save the great and wealthy I'acnas) tney possess at one time more than twelve or fifteen.

The happv swain who wishes to enter into that bliss ful state learns what friend or acquain tance possesses a daughter who would sun his taste. Debarred by the inexorable customs of the country from seeing his intended bride, he must be satisfied with the description of her charms from some one of the numerous match makers with which Constantinople is filled, and whom he immediately enlists iuto bis service.— tic sighs and his hopes are conveyed to the lair one through tlui medium of a bou. tjuet, and a suitable answer is returned by the name lovely messenger. The lady is denied the privolege of sending or receiving a billet doux, as reading und writing are both mysteries to her. Should the fortunate lover, however, not sigh in vain, he solicits the consent of the futher or next male relative, and if the settlement he proposes proves satisfactory, they both procced to the bride, before whom he acknowl. edges her «s his lawful wife, and by whom the marriage is registered, the Tutkish Indy bringing her husband uo other dowry than herself. lrtjJn Ol Tflfl aubscrlber hiw recentfv received from Nnw York, % f arl« :y of food 8lfC l(, \/ \XJJt VER WATCHKs*, which have fcovu ?e JljJ,, rflfj leftedfrom Inrife artaoilRlents al the prlncipal Jewelry £atiibliNhlQIHDt4 N.

The luxuries, the comforts, the very nooes«ities of attV' daily litn were wanting there Rank pnd Wealth lorded it over the honest and industrious, Tim nation was in a state of vrridoni.— Royalty and nobility dealt with the " lower orders1'as if they were brute heusts; they biifletted them, de."ptsC'd them, persecuted them, viciously hated and strongly coerced them. And, in "tho good old times," this was humbly submitted to. We speak not of :he earlier periods of British history, when the Williams, the Henrys, the Edwards and the Richards roughly ruled, but of later peiiods. Of tho time when virtuous Mo'e was sacrificed, when Spenttir and Sbakspeare wrote, when Raleigh fought and was executed, when Mil ton compiled his immortal epic, when Sidney fell on the scaffold, when Drydcn floutifthed and Butler starved—of the two centuries which included tho event* of British history, Irom the accession of tTie Tudor* at Boaworth Field to the deposition of the Stuarts, consummated by the defeat on the banks of tho Boy ne Water. This is the cry of locofoiam under the severe cassation it is everywhere receiving.
