The bi-d 'ell quivering among the hush es. . Tilly-yang-sang was no less pi ous than philosophieal, and this feat surprised him exceedingly. With cu- 'iosity depicted in his conntenanee, he walked forward to where the bird had fallen. “A little further,” said Yoo-ti-hn. , “Here?” “ Still farther.” “ Here, then ?” I “On.” “Now?” 1 “ A es—there lies the bird. Put tell me." said A oo-ti-hu, with a boldness that snrpiised the (irand Nazir, “ do-t tl ou certainly mean to carry my head to the king?" “(lod is great,” quoth Tally-yang- ang. “And Mahomet is his Prophet!” ad dl'd Yoo-ti-hn ; with whien he started up sueh a tune on his lute, a* mused the venerable chamberlain to skip and dance like one possessed of the devil. “Thu spirit of Ehris seize thee!” roared Tally-yang-sang, capering about among the hushes, and leaving a strip of skin on every thorn, “the devil take thee• for a musician!” and on he skipped and danced till the tears ran down his cheeks; the blood streamed j from his jagged and scarified limbs; and Ids capacious breeches were torn : from his legs. A'oo-ti-hu continued the music with unabated ardor. Tallv- ynng sang forgot hi* orisons and pa ternosters; and up and down—left hand and right hand—ladies chain— balance—reel—jig-and Spanish waltz., danced the hare-legged amateur, roar ing with pain, and uttering horrible im- piecatkins. “(lod is great!” quoth A oo-ti-hu. “ II s curse he on thee!” roared Tally-yang-sang. “ Exercise is the stall' of life,” (ihi- losopidsed A oo-ti-hu. , “Blast it!" shrieked Tally-yang- sang. “ Piety is pleasant,” moralised A’oo- ti-hu. “Horrible!” roared Tally-yang-sang. A oo-ti-hu perceived the vigor depart ing from the limbs of the Great Nazir, wheroupon he struck up with a still livelier air. Tally-yang-sang curvetted and pranced; whiiled hither and thith er bis hare spindles, and leaped madly among the thorns. In an agony of pain he cried, H Dear, gentle Yoo-'ti hu j —I beseech thee to stop!” “Verily,” ' Yoo-ti-hu, “ I value my head.” “ I shall not harm a hair,” groaned Tailv-vang-sang. i “ Words are cheap,” said Yoo-ti-hn. “ Hut I swear—I solemnly swear!” piteously cried Tally-yang-sang. “By what?” “ By the Prophet.” “ Nay.” “ By (bid himself!” “ Swear by thy beard.” “ Never!”‘ “ Then dance!” Another good hour did Tally-yang- sang cajier about, roar and blaspheme, till cruelly excoriated from head to loot. “ Do you swear ?” “ I do!” “ By that which is sacred ?” “ By my Ward!” In a truly pitiable condition the Grand Nazir limped toward the palace. Yoo-ti-hu followed, admiring the ban dy and scat died legs of the Great Tnl- ly-yang-sang, and muttering benedic tions on the genius. IV. Yoo-ti-iic in Danger. j The great rajas, moguls, and lords of Gaznret, belonging to the court of Pokatoka, had sallied out with the king, (o take a stroll in the gardens. “ Ho!” crier! A'ptaleeu, high master of the festivities, “ what fantastic ■ clown conies hither ?” “ An Egyptian dancer,” quoth the king.” “A self-punished Musselman,” add ed a raja. ••True,” said a grand mogul, “for behind him walks his koran hearar.” “ Rather a shin with his talisman,” uhserved a lord of Gazaret. “ Or a sowui,” whispered a pious Mohammedan. “A blood-stained spirit of Ebiis,” remarked a famous Astrologer. " Hush!” exclaimed Yptaluen, “ by all that is terrible!—by monkin and nnkir! ’tis Tally-yang-sang, the grand nazir of the harem !’’ And 'I ally-yang-sang it was, whose woful figure approached the pageant. “Mirror of Piety!” cried the king, ‘ wh it means tins outlan lish fre k ? Mcthinks it ill tiecomes thee to tramp about, hare-legged and bloody, after this fashion. Propriety of conduct, and dt licacy, should distinguish a master of the harem ; ami I much re gret that thou hast infringed, not nnlv on these, hut on the law s of decency. “Sure, mighty monarch of Gazaret," replied Tally-yang-sang, wringing his hands and smiting his breast, “thv page deals with the devil; lor verily he hath a lute of such bewitching tones that when the same la* played, I could not help skipping and dancing among the hushes till my hones creaked—my head whirled, and I was flayed and ex coriated within an inch of my life; as yonr highness may see.” “Tally-yang-sang,” said the king gravely, “ thv character is imiieached; thou hast spoken of impossibilities; in fact, thou hast lied.” “ By all that is solemn, I have spo ken tin* truth,” cried the grand nazir. “ And nothing hut the truth ?’’ "As 1 live!” protested Tally-yang- sang. “Then Yoo-ti-hu shall loose his head.” “ Nav—I have sworn by my beard to save it.” “GenerousTally-yang-sang!’’ cried Pokatoka, “thou art too lenient of of fence. Nevertheless Yoo-ti-hu shall he punished.” “ Certainly,” said said Tally-yang- sang, “ it was my design to have him decently flayed to death.” “ Which shall la* done,” quoth the king, "if thou proves! the-offence.” Without further delay the hare-leg ged and excoriated Tally-yang-sang led the way to thepnlaee; and caliphs, rajas, moguls and lords of Gazaret, follow id admiiingly in the rear. V. The Trial and its Effects. The grand couucil-chamlier of the palace was presently crowded with courtiers, officers of the guard, sica- ries, mandarins and pashas—at the head of whom, seated by his queen, and attended by a magnificent suite of pages, sat Pokatoka, King of Gaeeret. At a desk, immediately under the throne, sat a venerable Arabian writer, versed in hieroglyphics, and ready to take minutes of the w hole proceedings. Ranged around stood a numlier of iieautiful Circassians, Georgians, Nu bians. and Ahyssiuiaus—slaves and witnesses from the king’; harem ; hut the diamond of these gems was Oma nea, arraigned on charge of having unlawfully bestowed her heart on Yoo- fi-hu. The fact is, Tally-yang-sang was determined that the lovers should both he condemned, and had thus pre pared matters for the prosecution. In order to establish the truth of his charge, he remained—much to the edi fication of the young slaves by whom he was surrounde I—in the same plight in which the king had met him. “ Quintesceuce of piety and disciple of wisdom,” said the king, “ proceed with thy charge.” “ Know, then, courtiers, rajas, man darins and officers of the guard,” quoth Talfy-ynng-sang, “ that Yoo-ti-hu hath stolen lha heart of Omanea, ami that his highness, the king, commanded me to rid the offender of his head. This very evening I roamed in the royal gardens, meditating on the most agree able plans of decapitation, when I es pied the wicked Yoo-ti-hu. Having lured me info a horrid hush—he struck up a tune on his lute, the infernal strains of which caused me to dance till I was fairly torn to shreds—ns you all may perceive. Then”— “Stop there!” cried Pokatoka, “this story of the lute must lie established ere you proceed farther.” “ I so.emnly beseech your mighti ness to take my work,” groaned Tally- yang-sang, eyeing the lute with great horror. “ Do, Great King of Gazaret! and the blessings of be on thee!” “ Nay,” cried the king, “ we must have a fair and impartial investigation. Yoo-ti-hu, thou art commanded oo pain of losing thy beard, to stiike us a tune on thy lute!” “ For God’s sake,” implored the grand nazir, “ since ye must hear it, I pray and beseech ye to bind me to a post” Exactly in the middle of the court -tood a (tost, ornamented with divers lieuutnul designs caned in wood and in gold; and to this was the chamber lain firmly tL-d. “ Truth is mighty,” quoth the king. “ and wil] out So proceed Yoo-ti-hu, in the name of God and Mahommed, his Prophet!” A oo-ti-hn forthw ith struck up his liveliest air; and lords, rajas and mo guls; pages, philosophers and mama- hikes; officers of the guard, gccaries and mandarins; slaves, young and love ly, and old and ugly; disciples of .Mo- hammed; priests, friars, saints and hc- "‘tics; pages, trainboarers, and virgins of incense—sprang to their feet and danced hither and thither—hornpipe, jig and merry reel—in such glee and confusion as were never heard of be fore or since. The venerable writer had leaped from the desk—the decripit Pokatoka from his throne; the sharp- featured old queen from her chair of dignitv, and joined in tin* general me lee. But the groans of the gouty—the blai ^ v of the pious—the laughter ol the’young—and the remonstrances ot the sage, were all drowned in the lusty roars of Tally-yang-sang, who cruelly bruised his head against the post in trying to heat time; tore the | live flesh troni his hack, so eager was f he to dance—and uttered a horrid im precation at every ornament on the ; pOSt. “A oo-ti-hu! A oo-ti-hu!” cried the breathless Pokatoka. “ A oo-ti-hu !” screamed the dancing queen. “Yoo-ti-hu! Yoo-ti-hu!” wasacho- i ed and re-echoed around hv the lords and courtiers; and to and fro they skipped, as ) oo-ti-hu plied his merriest tunes—the floor groaning—the per spiration streaming from their cheeks, and their breath failing at every jump. “ Dear, pleasant Yoo-ti-hu!" cried the king, in the heat of a (Spanish jig, " I do beseech thee to stop.” | “ A thousand seguins for silence !” groaned a gouty raja, prancing high ( and low in i: German wait/.. “I am shamed—disgraced forever!” muttered an Arahian astrologer, in the middle of a Scotch reel. A r oo-ti-hu—the devil seize thei shouted a pious Musselman. “Have mercy!” cried a lilasplie- mous heretic. “Mercy! mercy!” echoed the dan cers, one and all. “ Do, gentle Yoo- ti-hu, have mercy, and cease thy ac cursed music!” “ Pardon him ! pardon him!” roared the magnanimous Tally-yang-sang— his rib* rattling frightfully against the post; “in the name of the prophet pardon him, ere I bruise myself into an Egyptian mummy!” “ Ron.ti-hu cease! thou art pardon ed !” cried the king in a piteous tone, “ my seal—my life on it thon shall not he harmed!” “ Very well,” said A'oo-ti-hu, still striking his lute; “ but I must have Omanea as a Inido.” “Thou shall have her!—take her! she is thine!” shouted the rheumatic monarch. “ Thy oath on it,” quoth A’oo-ti-hu. “ By all (list is sacred—by my heard she is thine !” A oo-ti-hu ceased—the dancers, groaning and breathless, returned to their seats; the grand nazir was taken ; from the post in a pitiable plight—and the pious Musselman ejaculated, “ God is great!” An Arabian historian says that A’oo- ti-hu, having espoused Omanea, carri ed his bride to the kingdom of Bucha- J ria, of which, in the course of time, he became the king; and with his inex haustible purse built a palace of gold, wherein be reigned for half a century, : the mirror of monarchy, and the ad miration of mankind. A Beautiful Idea.—I cannot be lieve that the earth is man’s abiding place. It cannot he that our life is cast up by the ocean of eternity to float for a moment on its waves and sink to nothingness. Else why is it that the glorious aspirations which leap like an gels from the temple of our hearts are forever wandering about unsatisfied? VA by is it that the rain-bow and the clouds come over us w ith a beauty that is not of earth, then pa*s off and leave us to muse U(>on their faded loveliness? I Why is it that the stars who hold their festivals around the midnight throne are set above tbe grasp of limited faculties, forever mocking us w ith their unapprn- chablegloiy? And finally, why is it that the hi ight forms of human beauty picsented to our view and then taken from us, leaving the thousand streams of our affections to flow back in Alpine torrents on our hearts? We are born for a higher world than that of the earth: there is a realm where rainbows never fade—where the stars will be but liefore us, like islets that slumber on the ocean; and where the lieings that pass liefore us like shadows will stay in olf presence torovor <
