At this moment Ererington cast his
eyes on the tair Circassian, and saw
with surprise that she had imitated hi
example, and was standing by the side
of btc h(Xse, from which her father
had agisted her to alight. Accustom ed however to pay strict obedience to er father's command , she kneeled, but it was not until '.he position of Kvriogton had drawn the ees of the prince and his guaid upon them. 'You nre lost forever1' said the terrified Hamors, in an under tone, when he heard one of the officers whisper to the cadi, "see that infidel dog; shall I not feed bis carcase to rhe revens?'' The cadi hesitated a moment, then in an answer which was inaudable to i I amors, appeared to postpone the punishment of the temerity which had dar ed to oiler such an Insult to the prince. Perhaps Everington was the more in sensible to the danger that threatened himself, from the circumstance of his attention bei g drawn at that moment to hi- fail companion. S'ne was in the act of kneeling, at the moment that the boldness of Ever iitgtoa had attracted the notice of A'o-
ta Aliiz , hut by some acc ident the

The prince ordered her father to approach. Hard y undeistanding the nature of the command, he aroe and advanced a few steps, and seeing the eye of M,rza was tiH fixed upon him, again diop ped on his knees.
'Rise," said the prince, in a grai us manner, "I want to speak with
you .'
Herman obeyed. 'Is that beautiful maiden your daugh-
lei"'
Herman answered in the allirma-
live. i he pnnce spoke a few words to a joung and gallant looking oflker
near him; and then directing an at (endant to bestow a purse ef gold on
iemian, passed on. During the inerview, every nerve of Evrington
trembled with agitation; and ;re hl

lamors, with as much coolness as if he

'Against her will she shall never

Everington passed n to the doors w hich led u the gardens of the prince.

Tlie. wiusk rose a the Beudemir too, lent ils bl.iSroms and it's fragrance, and the sott south wind came ver the
levered brow and anxious spirit of Eveiington wiih balmy effect. The moon
was shining bnght on risk and mina iet; martial music was heard from the
camp; and nearer the undefined bu

palace. Here, alter indulging a itt& longer in the mirth and festivities listening to the music, which, from the city rose as if by magic, and mingled; in the stillness of the r.ight, like strains of the houris, in the mussulmm paradise; Everington and Hamors left the place tn the same way they had entered it, passed the guards without being discovered, and reached their lodging in safety. to be continued

"She shall be taken from htm," an wered Everington firmly , "unless she chooses to remain with him; and much am I mistaken if she would not prefer the desert, and liberty, to being the slave, or wife of Abbas Miiza." Hamors departed, and Everington, highly displeased with that rule ol Persian etiquette, which prevents a lady Irom allowing herself to oe addressed in public, ami had thus prevented an explanation he so much deiired, threw himself upon the carpet to await with the anxiety and impatience of a lover, the return of his servant. He came at lat, but had been nn successful. He had indeed learned from a friend, I hat by direction of the priri';e, H-rrn in and his daughter had hen conducted to a palace, though what one he could not learn, and that the prince had openly avowed his ad miration of the beautiful Coralinn, and his intention at a distant day to make her his bride. "Y-ati have indeed been unfortu nate," said Everington, striving to restrain his impatience, "but she must be found." 'She shall be found," wag the reply of Hamors. "Hamors, I do not question yeur fidelity," said Everington, who thought he discovered in his servant's voice, a fear that he. was deemed unfaithful. " While life remains, I will sere
vou, ' said the attached and faithful Hamors; ''and perhaps I may thi
night be c.hle to aid you in your wishes. The prince gives to-night a splendid
entertainment at tr;e palace of the
kint; I have some skill on the kanoon;
I wili endeavor to obtain admittance a musician, and see if I cannot there meet or discover the object of yom
anxiety.''
'Stay," said Everington; ''a sudden
thought has entered toy imagination.
TVe will change siliiatio iS; I will he . our servant, and accompany y ou ; and 1 11 -1 to my skill on the lute to make me welcome." ' Ai'.ih fordid'" exclaimed Hamors; yon will certainly be discovered, and hen vour fate wili be inevitable." "You remonstrate in vam," said Ev ringlon, "my resolution is taken, and we have not a moment to lose in ma king our preparations " These were soon completed, and in the guise f Persian war.deiing mindiels, they soon left their mansion, ai d liiugled with the crowd that were hastening to catch a glimpse of the im posing and gotgeous spectacle. Everington had 6pent so much of his life
in east, that he was familiar with the Persian language and mutic; and he
liusted to the tack and experience of
Hamors, to extiicate him from diflicu)
y, should any occur. They were not
long iu teaching tlie palace; and passing the double line of guards, they were admitted into the splendid apart
ments. Accustomed, as Everington had been to eastern magnificence, the cene winch now burst upon him had
the everw lieimii'5 effect of enchant

With as much confidence, however, as
he could assume, he and his servant mingled with the throng and slowly
made their way through the hist to the
second room of slate, where the pi ince
was receiv.ng the homage of the new
liguitaries of his government, and llu
alutations of all those whose situation
or wealth entitled them to enter the

of the raised n i mw?s covered banks.
Hamors took his kitar and touched the strings to so sweet and lively a prelude that a number were soon collected a round them. Soon came a party of three r four, whose uncon-trained and graceful movements the richness of their robes, and the precious stones which glittered iu their turbans, plainly denoted to be individuals of no ordinary rank. A tracted by the music, they approached, tney paused, and pleased, they seated themselves. Here was one young lady, who, after li.ten ing some time to the praises bestowed on the gay and lively serenade of Ha
mors, inquired if there was not one
who could hlrike the strings to a sad
der note, some tale of hopeless, help
less love; and tier voice hid something in it, which showed that such a theme
would be far more congenial to her feelings.
The lady who made this request was
sealed on a rich Indian shawl which
her attendants had spread for her, and at her feet win the person who wn evidently her lover. The ends of the
ilver wove turban which enriiled his
