TnEPACHAS DAUGHTER.
by Miss pardoc.
It is now some six years since the young
Count Am--c Ri, tired of the mo-
notony Of the court in which he had been
brought up, obtained passports for foreign
WavcI, and directed his steps to Egypt a
land richer than any other in memorials of
the past, and sublime even in her dcsola-
ton. Soon after his arrival in Alexan-
dria, he was introduced TO the Pacha, who
was much pleased with his personal APP
pcarancc and frankncss Of manner, and
completely captlyatcd by his varied talents.
Nay. he went so far rs 10 offer him his
daughter Xuleia in marriage, in the hope
OF retaining hm in the country bat TO
this the Count returned only an cvasive
answer. On the occasion alluded to, they
were seated on adjoining nummuds, CHI
bouks in hand, and coffee in tiny golden
cups before them. The arabcsquc jalon-
sizes were partly open and discovered a
"garden Of roses" beyond.
''bo you see that fairy form?" obscr-
we'd the Pacha pointing TO the left
"That," continued the Pacha, is Zu-
LEILA. Tomorrow you shall converse with
her. value outward qualities little with
mental cultivation"
The result Of the interview with the
Beautiful and accomplished maiden was,
that for the FIRST time in his life, Ri
was deeply, irremcdabIy, in love. Nor
dit he scrupIe to confess this to the Pacha,
who embraced him, his eyes gIistening
with pleasure. But there was Il condition
as yet unexplained: the Count was requi-
red to tnrn MusscIman.
70 this hc ei once, with the frmnoSs
and decision which belonged to his charac-
ter, Formally and rcsoiutcy objected. The
Pachq expressed his surprise at what lie
termed the folly Of the young foreigner;
was sorry that his (tho Pacha's) wishes
could not be accomplished; hoped the
Count would take his own time to survey
tho magnificent ruins Of his empire, and
politely coagcdied him from his presence.
The Count was mute, and departed for
Cairo. After visiting the pyramids, The
hes, and Luxor, he sat himself down for
the remainder Of the summer in the pretty
village OF B., near Cairo, clinging, it
must be confessed, TO hope that he should
behold, perhaps possess, Xulela. The
house which he inhabited was in the midst
of IA garden washed by the Nile, a arden
IuXuriant in all the products of Eastern
vegetation.
1t SO happened that he was at the time
the only European resident in the village,
which may account for the circumstance
which follows. The Turks have the most
implicit reliance on the medical skill of the
Franks, and when their own Doctors arc
NJ fault (Which is often the casc,) always
send for their foreign rivals. Indeed,
whether physicians or not, they still give
them credit for knowledge of pharmacy;
but forget, knew all this before.
Well, it was past midnight, the Count
was fast asleep on his divan, and his chlcI
servant, Mamclukc, was disburheninG
himself Of the yataghan, which he always
carried, when most violent knocking was
heard at the outer door.
He was quickly rc-armcd, and rushed
through the corridor 10 ascertain the cause
of the disturbance.
"rhy crrand,a this unreasonable hourF
demanded the Mamclukc of the MOUNTED
cmiSSary without.
IL come from the Bey Yussouf, Of Ca
iro; he is ill--almost dying, and pray
your master to sec him; he Is a Feringc'
aud may save HIM"
The Count, who awokc during this col
loquv, was informed of the mans errand
aud good-uaturcdy consented 10 repair a
once TO the invalid.
The Arab horses which himself and ser
wants rode were not long in taking then
TO the palace Of the Bey in one Of the leas
frequcntod suburbs Of Cairo. I his dignity
was stretched on his divan, in a state ap
proachng TO syncopc, from which he wa
revived by simple prescription; and
then became obvious that mental excite
mcnt was in no slight degree at the root o
physical disorder. Left 10 themselves, tn
Bev conided TO the Count his secret
creature of Incompatible beauty had bee
presented to him, as wife, by the Pacha
but, from some mysterious cause, she ha
rcpclcd all his advances, and was who'll
indifferent even to threats. Your coun
