The next dav, and the next, passed nway without Evenngton's being able tt hear anv thing from a person in tho-e fate he was so deeply interested. The merchant too, was invisible; and though Ilamors faithfully watched all com?-r and goers to the palace. nothing of them was to be seen. He indeed learned from some one in the train of the prince, that in order more stronglv o cement the friendship, which c xi-td between the prince and his new sn! je ts of Srhiras, he had declared to select from ihe mest beau tifo! of their woman, another to add t his harem; and report, now as bef.re, fixed in the daughter of the "ir c--:ian m r hanl as the happy individ Ual who was to be thus houoted.

The air was balmy, music came soft, and echo ing over the waters the light dipping of the numerous oars fell upon the ear with measured and soothing effect crowds were clustered on the rose co vered banks of the river nightingales were heard emulating the sweet tones of the Persian late, and syrinda the tire fly was darting amid?t the thick woven and deep green foilage of the promegi mate and Indian rig tree; and from the gardens of the prince, came the rich odots oi jessamine, citron and rose. t'torinolnn :i nH H.4rnnr fliiatpd n'nt.fr A . t , i v,l " " - .... . thiouuh the delighttul sc ene, the touner too deeply intent on another subject to fully enjoy the witcheries of the present. Tne wal's net to the wattr were carefully examined; hut even the searching eye of Everinglon could dU cover no place w here access appeared within the limits of posibility. Seme times mingled with the fragrance which the light evening breeze wafted from the gardens, came the meliing ofdis tant music gay and laughing voices and once Evevington started, as tones, which he was willing swear were those of the charming Ooralinn, and whi h sent theblood, thrilling, to his lingers1 ends, were heard warbling, onts of those sweet and pathetic airs for which the maidens of her own country were so celehtated. They were about to relinquish their attempt as hopeless; thr river was washing the last angle of the wall; the gay company had begun to disperse, and Everington was about to give orders for their return, when he happened to see that from the branch es of a pomegranate which rose above the wall on the inner side, a vine of that kit id which produces the rich wine of Schiras, and which is sacred to the sun, had spread its tendrils upon the wail, and loaded with fruit, had de fcendd till its clusters hung at the very water's eJge 'What think you." said Everinglon, a? he turned the light machine in which they were floating, so as to bring them close to the wall; "what think vou. Hirmors of making a ladder of (these vines, with whi..h to scale the wall? I it practicable?" "Perfectly so," answered Hamors, as he grasped one of those vines and drew the boat to the wall: "but would it not be advisable to wait till the moon !;hfl, M ag al ,hi? tjmp wfi ghf, bfi than then." 'True," replied Everington; "but you will remember, that by waiting meeting those we wish to see. ISow IS t h A hnilf. Kll it u!!l enrn hn r..f ' It is enough," said Hamors; and in a moment the slight skiff was secur ed to one of the vines; thus, should it be necessary, affording the means of escape. An angle of the, wall screen ed them, in soma measare, by intercepting the light of the moon, and in a few moments Everington, followed by Hamors, stood in safety on the top of the wall, a distance of thirtv feet from the water. In the inside, the descent was attended with little or no difficulty, and carefully reconnoitering the ground, Everington advanced. It was long before he found himself in the vi cinity of the very bowel where he m I the young Coralinn and the prince, on the night of the festival. Everington had already passed .several groups of gay and laughing houris, but she whom lie most wished to encounter, was not, he was confident, among them. As he and his servant cautiously and ilentlv approached the secluded and heantiful letreaf, they suddenly heard voices, and listening a moment, per ceived they were females, conversing loIy but earnestly. The quicker ear of Everington instantly detected the silver toned voice of Coralinn, and his heart fluttered to think he was so near the object of hi adoration. In a whis per to Hamors, he directed him to re main where he was, while he ventured to approach near enough to discover how many, and what persons they were, and how employed. If danger was approaching, Hamors was to communicate the intelligence oy a shrill whistle. Everington then. with noiseless step, approached the bower, and to his iov saw that the beautiful Coralinn was reclining on tne very couch which she had occupi ed when he performed the part of min strel at her feet; a place now filled by Ja joang woman who was evidently her

Attendant. Near her was one of the

richest 6ofas of Ispahan, which the prince, on her happening to mention i i. . -i. :.. l.-'.. the pleasure she took in visiting that place, had ordered without her know I ledge, to be placed there, and certain ly they could not have been destined to support a lovelier burden. Her hair was loosened from the diamond clasp, and flowing in lich c ulling tresses around her beautiful and polished neck. She held in her hand a chsier of the fragrant white rose, brought from the banks of the Nerbuddah, and was, while converging, slowly scattering the pue leaves : the earth around her''So perish our snreiest, dearest hopes," said she wiih a s:h; ''to-mor row, Myrtilda, you sa) i te p.inre has determined this hateful c rm .my shall be performed, and tl s.viifx.e com pleted."

The beautiful girl sprung from her seat and exclaimed, -"Allah be praised!" and in an instant was clasped to Evenngton's bosom. When ihe first wild and unchecked gush of tran-port was over, the da; ger to which te pereo she so tenderly loved was exposed, rushed u;on her mind, and throwing herself on her knees before him she bathed his hand with tears. "Fly, fly!" said 'v? lovely creature, in the low deep tones of passionate agitation; 'fly before ruin overtakes you before ruin orvertakes us both fly, and be happy, beyond the reach of a tyrant!" 'When I have seen you safe when I hats 6een you fieed from the bondage which has been imposed on you -when 1 have heard my destiny from our own hps, and know whether you will fly with me, and not before," said everinglon. as he raised Coralinn from he earth, and with her seated himself upon the sofa. ihe beautiful Coralinn was before him, his arm was around her slender waist, he felt the deep, quick Ihrobbings of her heart as she reclined on lis bosom; it was a moment of almost delicious extacy, and the fervent kiss that he imprinted on her unpoluted lip was coined in the mint of pure and hallowed atlection. "I fly with you!" replied the blush ing girl, "Oh, no, I cannot, would to leaven I could; but the attempt would he the destruction of us both: go and eave me to my fate, and may the bles sings of the Prophet attend you." "With you, but not without," repli ed Everington firmly. At that moment the whistle of Ha mors was heard, and the ear of Ever ing detected the voices of men at a distance. ''The guards are on their round fly, or we are lost forever fy, and eave me t my fate," exclaimed the agitated girl, as she flung her white arms around his neck. Will you meet me at this place to morrow night?" inquiied Everington, who was warned by the repeated sum mons of his. servant that he had not a moment to loose.

To the Ladies.

" Love Monet Marriages," sayi Jour correspondent below, are "(hie : M . v great principles." We cannot affirm nor contradict his position, having been so fortuniite as to be little troubled either with love or money, which we understand to be indispensible. to marriage. Shelly, who ought to know, says, "Love in a hut, with water and a crust, Is love forgive us! cinders, ashes, dust!" W nether thw be true or false te can not pretend to gay, but we are convin ced of the truth of another observation of that poet, that Selfishness is love's ceusin." But if our correspondent means to insinuate that the three principles" are of equal importance, we would in the language of Hamlet, say, "Why I will fight with him upon this theme Until my eyelids will no longer wag." Mr. Editor I wish to publish the par.'kulars of a couple of weddings, at which I was present during the first vet'k of March last, in the state of Virli .ii. The facts are briefly these,

i- ;? i ,'.T:itting names: A young lady of rerability and wealth, had the bad o.ifi If k to respond to the "tender pas-;.i.-t '!:." which an intelligent, moral, but r Jpdor swain was sill? enough to whis

er in her ear while a wealthy rival. vho could read a signboard or a hand hill pretty distinctly, and who got boosv anout once a nay, ana hunted tuxes ffered to let the fair one occupy his "bed and board" in capacity of wife. The poor girl very naturally objected to being taken upon these terms; but her parents, being fond of money, gave her to understand that obedience in this case was the only means of retain ing their favor and protection, and threatened to box her ears soundly if he continued her foolish snubbing. The wedding day was appointed, the intended son-in-law being verv much pleased, unfortunately delayed the ceremenj, by reason of that indisposition which results from a protracted de hauch. In the mean time the young lady was frequently lectuted and ex- -. t ..j -.i. i i .i m. posiuiaiea wun oy tier mother, i ne only argument which the daughter could urge, was that she loved anoth er, who although not rich, was young, intelligent, virtuou, and tndious in an honorable calling, in which he might win distinction at anv rate a decent support. On the other band she told her that ihe never could respect, much !' love a stupid clown, and a semi brute wilhal, who had no sentiments ef feelings in common with her. This warm and natural speech was of course ridiculed by the old lady, as mere po etry, and the evils of poverty were then painted in gloomy colors, fcc. So the marriage was to take place and the '"poor book worm." as the old lady called him, was invited with the other numerous guests The ceremony was to be performed and the bride who was a pretty girl of feeling and sentiment, was led to the altar with trembiing reluctance Ihe parson rose to proceed- and 1 pited the mortified victim, and never so fully appreciated the cold depravily of sacrificing young and tender anec tiens on the altar of Mammon Silence prevailed a shudder of horror passed through the crowd, mingled with pity and indignation. In the further end of the room stood a young man, neat ly but plainly dressed, with a pale and thoughtful counteuance, and frowning brow overshadowed an eye of piercing contempt. I thought h felt a deep interest in the scene then transacting, though his position of re tirement protected him from attention, while his high brow and closed lips bespoke no less firmness than intffa ble contempt. Such was the situation of the company; suddenly the fair victim screamed out with great agitation "I never will O God! how can I?" Bathed in tears, she rushed to the oth er room, followed by a crowd of young ladies, declaring that she had as much fortitude to immolate herself on a burn ing pile, as to marry one she loathed and could never love The father then publicly told her to come out, and as she was ruined, she might marry any man present, who was fool enough to have her. Out she came with joyful countenance, and was met by the aforesaid "book worm, I 1 . M wnose proud contemptuous nrow was lighted up with triumph, and a poet's thought of manly delight darted fron an expressive eye. i hey were imnje drately marridd. On the floor, still stood a disappoint weight in an attitude mortifying and awkward. With a mighty effort however, he turned to the ladies, and delivered himself as follows, as near as I Can remember. "Ladies! I 1 stand here to be married. You all you know me a if any one present will marry me now, say so or forever hereaf'er hold your peace now or never remem ber I'm worth twenty thousand coolers besides the niggers and I won't give any gal this chance any more if I do Pll bed d!" At tho end of this speech, a little hump backed, dumpy, freckled faced,

and red headed girl jumped up, de dating in a loud voice as she advan' ced, that she had loved him for seven years but never had an opportunity of avowing it before. The next minute they were also pronounced "man and wife." The supper table was graced at ev ery corner with a newly married eater three of whom were evidentlywell pleased end I said to myself

"Landlord," said a shrewd fellow. as he seated himself in the bar-ioom, nd bore the silent gaze of the sur rounding advocates at the bar, 'do you know of any body who has lost a handsome ivory handled jack knifo3 ith Jour hlad.js two large ones and wo small ones having a piece of sil ver on one tide and brass at the eiido?" No," replied the veteran landlord. whose proboscis resembled a rine trawberry, tipped with a pearly drop f dew; "whv, have you found one?" No," said the wag, "but I thought i ould inquire, so that if 1 should thid one I might know whose it was." JONATHAN S SHEEP. Some years ago, one of our tall, lank. eastern Jonathans, was travelling thro our western country, endeavoring to dispose of his notions, and happened to put up at a tavern kept by a worthy old Dutchman, with whom, as is usully the case, the neighboring farmers generally spent their evenings. There happentd at this time to be an unusual number of them assembled together, nd their conversation naturally turn d to their occupations, the principal topic being fat cattle, hogs, sheep, &c. and at length began guessing at their weight. Jonathan being of a social turn, and not reluhing a nubject which he was unable to engage in, determin ed to stop their gosippn g, and adopU ed the following method. He thurst lis lanthorn visage over the shoulder of an honest yc om in. saying he guessed as how he cou'd tell r story about his father's sheep which would beat theirs all hollow. They all turned a istening ear to the storv. After giv. ing his chair n latch or two, to come within the ring around the fire, he commenced by saying his father had one ef the largest sheep he ever saw; he put hin in a yard and fed him one month on hay, in which time be eat up a whole ton; he then put him in a sta ble and fed him a month on oats; ai d the tarnel critter eat twenty bushels; in two weeks more he fed him eight bushels of indian meal, and the day before thanksgiving he killed him - and, (stretching himself upright.) howmuch do you guess he weighed? From the enormous quantity ate bv the sheep and the length of time kept, each sup. oseu him an onormous sheep; the guess went round, each one guessing a large weight; still Jonathan said nothing. At length one of them, enctmr-ngr-d by the pleasure twinkling in the Yankeer eye, ventured to ask him how much he did weigh; when raising his seven foot figure, and lengthening out his long visage, he answered, "I'll be darned if 1 know." A full blooded Jonathan, residing in a New England village, once look it nto his head to go a "courting; he ac cordingly saddled the old mare ai d bolted off to his devoirs of the buxom lasses of the neighborhood. After "staying' with his gal until near day light, he made preparations to depart. Just as he seated himself in the saddle, his fair one stood in the door, and who, by the way, was marvellous fond of having the 'sparks,' wishing him to come again, stammered out, "I shall be at home next Sunday night, Zeb." Zebedee, taking out his tobacco and biting off a quid in loss than a second, honestly answered, '-So shall I, by gatilly." A young fellow riding down a steep hill, and doubting the foot of it was. boggish, called out to a clown, who was ditching, and asked him if it was hard at the bottom? Ay,' answered the countryman, 'its hard enough at the bottom I'll warrant you.' But in half a dozen steps the horse sunk up to the saddle skirts, which made the young gallant whip, spur, curse and swear; 'why, you rascal, said he to the ditcher, 'did you not tell me it was hard at the bottom?' 'Ay,' replied the other, 'but you are not half way to the bottom yet. Two very honest gentlemen who dealt in brooms, meeting one day in the street, one asked the other how the devil he could afford to under sell him U very where, as he did, when he stole the stuff and made the brooms himself? Why, you silly dog, answered the other, 1 steal them ready made.
