" The world is full of beautv. To the eve

Earth, air, sky, Are imrkM with characters which lie may road Wiso hath a high attainment of the mind, A brighv perception with the eternal eye A glowing likeness in his soul enshrin'd, Of what is treat and pure and heavenly.'" H. Tappak. Ten year? after the events we have related, had transpired, in consequence of some misunderstanding which had arisen between the India Government and the 5hah of Persia, it was deemed necessary that some individual qualified for the pur pose, should proceed to Teheran, then the rei ieace of the Persian con it, to make it possible, :i satisfactory adjustment of the difficulties that threatened to interrupt the harmony of the two governments. In the opinion of the Mirquis ef Wei lely, the Governor of the immense British possessions in the eat-t, there was no person who would execute this important trust so w ell as Major Geneial Everington for to that rank he had risen and a young lieutenant in the Indian army, was selected to convey te him the news of his appointment. To this honorable com mission of the general's was added the privilege of visiting England, (a pleasure he had long wished, but which the disturb ed stale of the Indian affairs had hitherto rendered inexpedient) after the accomplishment of his mission to Techeran It was on a warm afterno'-u that the bearer of the despatches, lieut. McAuly, approached Agra and entered that once large and opulent city; and proceeded without delay to the mansion of 6en. Everington. A high wall of stone surrounded the extensive pile, and when ad-, 3)ited within the ample porials, none but those who have witnessed the beauty of an Indian pleasure-ground, when in its rich freshness Rod sweetness, can have an idea of the enchanting nature of the place. The white blossoms of ihe pomegra'iate, and the crimson lily of the cition

as his children, he instantly rose to meet him, and with the graceful ease, for which he was distinguished, welcomed McAuly nnd introduced him to his alTec
i donate and lovely bride.
McAuly attempted some apology for
his intrusion on their retirement, but was cut short by Everington, who assured him
(hat an apology was needless, and that he was never more happy than when he had the pleasure of meeting his European friends. After enjoying the refreshing coolness, and admiring the beauties of the place, for a little while McAuly followed the general and his charming family to their mansion, wheie every thing denoted the princely munificence of the owner. Sherbet was cooling in marble basins the finest and most delicious fruits were handed about in massive burnished plate the air, cooled by the Ganges entered the windows darkened by the richest silks of Averpore and the softened light fell on the most splendid carpets of Ispahan, but not here, as it is too often the case, had wealth shut out from its possassor the finer and nobler feelings of the httirt. That kindness which had secured to Ever ingtnn and his beautiful wife, the affection of all their dependants which had caused the oppressed to look to hiti a; the redresser of their wrongs; still retain ed its ascendency in their bosom, and showed its effects in the harmony that pervaded the magic circle of the influ enee. Th favorable impulsions of the young officer were confirmed, and he was soon convinced that he had never seen a woman who so fully realized those beau
tiful creations of the fancy, the peris of
the Persian mythology. General Evenngton accepted, without hesitation, the important trust conferred upon him by government, and with the promptness which distinguished him. had soon completed the necessary preparations for his journey ; and with the numerous train of servants, and the equipages usually attached to an eastern embassy, were under way to the Persian court. Coralinn, too. and the two charming girls accompanied him; and the difference be tween the manner in which they had left the (!nm nions ot the scah, and that in which they were returning to it, was

would be considered by the Persians, as the highest honor a foreigner could receive, did not hesitate to signify the pleasure he should receive from the intended honor, and preparations were instantly ordered for his reception. " My dear Coralinn,'' said Everington,
as he entered the apartments devoted to the ladies; " prince Abbas Mirza confers
upon us the honour of a visit this after noon. From some movements of hi yesterday, I am inclined to think he re members me, and, I suppose, wishes ! know whether I have forgotten him.'' " Have yu accepted the honor?'" ask
ed Coralioa.
" Not now,' replied Abbos; " but then I was unused to restraint, and I fancied it was impossible for me to live without ler. When 1 thought of her, I turned vith disgust from the fairest beauties of Persia; bnfthe wound my pride has re ceived was nothing to what i felt when I met tho eye of calm reproaf h that I read n the eye of her loved father, for his lips ever spoke what I knew he felt.'" "Is the worthy Merman then living?'"' nstily inquired Everington, for his fate i at involued in uncertainty, and Hamors, whom the task of making inquiries had een committed, could only learn that be

"Certainly," replied Everington; I He is not; he survived the loss of his
had no wish to refuse."
" Surely there can be no satisfaction in meeting that man," said Coralinn; and I Can hardly believe that he comes with any but the worst intentions towards you. I shall bC miserable till the interview is past.1' " Nonsense, my dear," answered Everington, kissing his wife; " remember that major general Everington is not the same poor, unprotected Prank he was when he formerly bore the weight of Mirza's vengeance, yet," added he, looking tenderly on the beautiful creature, he still held in his arms; when I remember the
cause of his cruelty. I am more than half
inclined to forgive him; and cheerfully would I again run the same risks to secure the same prize." "There is one thing of which I am glad," said Coralinn; " the custom of the court tender it impossible that he should see me here." " The custom of Ihe court prevents it, !ut not the custom of the Franks by which we are governed," said Everington; "and I acknowledge I should feel a little pride to showing him the lovely woman whose affections enable him to triumph over his wrath. So, my deai, if the prince requests it, as be will, if he suspects who we are, you must be ready to be pre seated to him." Coralinn was a womao, and when her appearance was to be . attended with no danger to her husband she had no objection to the interview; and perhaps, too, she felt a slight emotion of pride in the
ithnuirtit that she could assist in demon-
daughter but a few months," was the re ply of Abbas. ' Put," continued the prince, " I understand you have your wife with you; and if that peri is your bride, and it is not inconsistent with your ideas of decorum, I would wish to see her again. I owe her a debt, I would willingly have discharged in kindness to her father, had he lived to require it." " Coralinn is my bride," said Evering ton, and there was a feeling of gratified pride in acknowledgement; " she can ap pear if you wish it." "One thing further" said the prince; " f wish the interview should take place with none to witness it except yourself" You can be grtified in that," replied the general, " and you may also name your own time for the interview." " Let it be now I am impatient to tee her," was Ihe reply of Abbas Mirza. A wave of Everington's hand was suf ficient to -lear the room of his attend ants, an example which was followed by the prince. Everington then struck a

sone roses that hund over the margin of

He turned his head, and saw at one side of the flat, under a bower of woven woodbine and wild roses, the general reclining on a sofanear him on another, was a beautiful wornan, and before them on the smooth, gieen turf, two lovely girls were frolick-
insr. in all the unrestrained gaiety of
childhood and innocence. The general ha l been reading a bonk which he still
hM(i m his band, but had closed it to
witness, with a parent's fondness, the happiness of the charming girls, and enjoy the look of affectionate exultation, which
he read as his glance met the eye of his
beautiful wife. At that moment the
younge-t of the girls noticed McAoIy.and

As the young European officers in that
region, were considtred, by the gtnetal
compauied by such presents as they tho't proper, and as the influence of the prince
was all powerful at the court of his father,
Everington determined by tbe richness and magnificence of his to secure the fa voratde nutice of the prince. He w successful, and as the success arluN were presented and displayed, Abbas re quested him to advance to the divan.

lion made him ctait when his eye met that of the general. Concealing his em
barrassment, however, he listened to the explanations of Everington with interest;
and giving orders for the careful prefer
vation of the instrument, he ordered it
to be removed to make way for those
presents that remained to be received
from others.
The next day an Emir attached to the
train of the prince, presented himself at
the palace occupied by Everington, with
the information that h.s highness, prince Abbas Mirza would, if agreeable to the Frank ambassador, pay bim a visit that afternoon. Everington who well knew
