v. THE TRIAL AND IT'S EFFECTS.
The grand council chamber OF the palace was
presently crowded with courters, officers of the
guard sicares, mandarins,and pashas, at the head
of whom, seated by his queen and attended by n
magnificent suite of pages, sat Pokotoka, king OF
Gazaret. At desk, Immediately under the throne,
sat a venerable Arabian writer, versed in hero
glyphics, and ready to take minutes of the whole
proceedings Ranged around, stood a number of
beautiful Circassians, Georgans Nubians, and Alb
yssinians slaves and witnesses from the kings
harem; but the diamond of these gems was ON
ANEA, arragneG on charge of having unlawfully
bestowed her heart on Yoo-ti- hu. The fact is,
Tally yang sang was determined that the lovers
should both be condemned, and had thus prepared
matters for the prosecution. In order to establish
the truth Of his charge, he remained-much 10 the
ediication Of the young slaves by whom he was
surrounded the same plight in which the king
had met him.
'Quintessence OF piely and disciple Of wisdom,
said the king, proceed with thy charge
know then, courtiers, raas mandarns and Of
ficers of the guard, tquoh Tnlly-yang sang, that
ooti-hu hath stolen the heart OF Omanea, and
that his highness, the king commanded me to rid
the offender Of his head. This very evening /
roamed in the royal gardens medhating upon the
most agreeable plans OF decapation, when espi
ed the wicked Yoo-t-hu. Having lured ne into
horrid bush, he struck up tune on his Lutte
the Internal strains of which caused me TO dance
till was fairly torn to shreds- as you all may per-
ceiye. Then
Stop there p cried Pokatoka, this story of the
lutte must be established ere you proceed farther
8 solemnly beseech your mightness to take my
word groaned Tally.ynng sang, eying the Lutte
with horror,--'Do, Great King of CABARET and
the blessings of heaven be on thee
Nay cried the king, we must have fair and
impartial investigation. Yoo.ti-hu thou art com
manded on pain of losing thy head 10 strike us n
tune on thy lutte
For Gods sake implored the grand nazir,
since we must hear it, pray and beseech ye TO
bind me to post.
Exactly in the middle of the court stood post,
ornamented with beautiful designs, carved in wood
and gold and to this was the chamberlain firmly
tied
Truth is mighty quoth the king, and will out
So proceed Yoo-ti-hu, in the name of God and
Mohammed his Prophet'
Yoo-ti-hu forthwith struck up his liveliest air
and lords, rajas, and moguls sages, philosophers
and mamelukes officers ofthe guard, scares and
mandarns slaves, young and lovely, aud old and
ugly; disciples of Mahomlhed priests, friars, saints
and heretics pages, tranbearers, and virgins Of
incense sprang 10 their feet and danced hithel
and thither-bornpipe, jig and merry reel in sucl
gee and confusion were never heard of before
or since. The venerable writer had leaped from
the desk.--the decripit pokatoka from his throne
the sharp featured old queen from her chair Of
dignity and joined in the general melee. But the
groans of the gouty--lhe basphemies of the pou:
the laughter of the young-and the rcmoIstran
ces ofthe sage were all drowned in the lusty roar,
Of Tally -yang-sang, who cruelty bruised his heat
against tho post in trying to beat time tore the
live flesh from his back SO eager was he TO dance
and uttered horrid imprecation at every orna-
mept on the post.
THU Yoo.t-hur cried the breathless Po-
katoka.
'Yoo-t THU screamed the dancing queen.
sYoo. hus Yoo-tl-hu was echoed and re-
echoed around by the mobiles and courtiers 1; and
to and fro they skipped, as Yoo "ti-hu piled b'
iIvrries, ,uues-,i,o floor srouning-the perspra
tion streaming from their cheeks and their brealf
falling at every jump.
Dear, pleasant, Yoo-ti.hu,' cried the king, il
the heat of Spanish jig, Il do beseech thee tt
STOP

waltz.

pious Musselman.

Pardon him pardon him = roared the magnan
imous TaGy yang -sang-his ribs rafting frightu
" against the post ; in the name OF the prophet

mummy
'Yooti-hu cease ? thou art pardoned cried tn
king, in pious tone, my seal-my life on
thou shalt not be harmcdp
Very WE'LL said 700 THU, still striking hi
Lutte /; but must have Omanea as a BRIDE
