kneeling before the prince, said:
" Most just and glorious prince Abbas Mirza, the prisoner awaits your pleasure
and your ju-uce. He has had a taste of our justice al

to the Cadi; " let him be brought for ward."
Everington was then, by the guard,

' What was your motive, in remaining

But the very loveh. iitss she showed in her distress, forbid forgiveness to Everington.
" Fair Coralinn," said the prince, as he took her haud to raise her up; " ask
'any boon but the pardon of this rebel,

Here was a iaue ot a moment inji
which not one moved: and tear of thej prince seemed forgot :on m admiration t the constancy and fortitude of the beau
tiful girl.
' Slaves!" exclaimed the prince, start
ing up with fury, and striking the hilt of his cimeter; "am I to be thus riisre
garded? am 1 to execute toy own com uiands?" Dread of consequences to themselves, overcame the feelings of compassion in the attendants; Cualinn wa torn from the arms of Everington; and while he was led away, surrounded by hi guards,
the faithful girl was carried, senseless, to
her apartments.
The new s of the presumptuous Frank.
who had dared to interfere between the
Prince of Persia, and the object of his love, was lo receive a merited punisdi ment, was speedily spread through the city; and Everington found the tdreels, through which they weie going to pass
filled with spectators, anxioas to catch a
glimpse of the man destined to such a fate
and ready to join in taunting the accuis
ed infidel.
When the excitement of his feeling,
which his mock trial nd his interview
with Coralinn bad excited, had passed away, and left him to his own contempla
tion, he had leisure to think of himself, aud reflect on the lingering and hoirible
death to which he was doomed.
The punishment of the boat was one
which was reserved for those guilty of
offences against the king; although in ex
traordinary cases, or where by torture
government wished to extort conlcssions,
it was allowed.

He thought, too, of borne, country and friends, from wh"tn he was now to be finally separted; nor in that tearful moment was the beautiful Coralinn forgotten her love, her un-hakenconstanc.y and truth were remembered and the
rush ot memory as she called up past
joys, youtniui visions ot miss, and day
dreams of happiness, was so painful, that
he felt a kind of delirious recollection of the pieseat, and looked on the prepara
(ions with an apathy that bordered on
insensibility. All these fitful imaginations were however instantly dispelled by the stern mandate of the chief, who ordered
the attendant to strip Everington of his
outer garments, a command which was at once obeyed. After he had been pin
ioned with a presence and firmness of
mind, which drew murmurs of applause
from those who but a moment before, had been so ready to curse the infidel
