III. TALLr-TANe-s IN A PLIGHT.
| Yoo-ti-hu seated himself on the steps of foun
tain to admire his bow and his Lutte. Tally-yang-
sang, CHANGING TO roam in the vicinity, espied the
page, whereupon he assumed very severe coun-
tepance and approaching the spot, spoke thus:
Yoo-ti hu, thou art an unfaithful wretch! Thou
DuSt DetTdyeu the commences OF tny king. lnOu
hast entered his harem and stolen the heart OF
Omaneu! Know then, that am commanded to
carry him thy head as slight token of his dis

Seest thou yon Bird of Paradise, with pumage
more bright than the colors of Iris? Behold, your
highness, huw shall shoot him = Yoo-ti hu drew
his bow shut his eyes--and let fly an arrow
The bird fell quivering among the bushes. Tai
ly-yang -sang was TO less pious than philosophi-
cul, aud this feat surprised him exceedingly
! With curiosity depicted in his countenance, he
walked forward to where the bird had fallen.
"A little farther, said 700 THU.
Here j.?
Still farther
Here, them

sNow?'
'Yes--there lies the bird. But tell me- said
Yoo-ti hu, with a holiness that surprised the
Grand Nazir, 'dost thou certainly mean to carry
my head TO the king"
God is great quolh Tay-yane sang.
'And Mahommed is his Prophetp added Yoo-
ii hu, with which he started up such tune on his
lutte, caused the venerable chamberlain to skip
and dance like possessed of the devil.
THE spirit of Ebris seize theen roared Tally
yang sang, caperng about among the bushes, and
leaving strip of skin on every thorn, the devil
take thee for q musician ! and on he skipped and
danced till the tears run down his cheeks the
blood sreamed from his jagged and scarified limbs
and his capacious breeches were completely
torn from his legs. Yoo-t-hu continued the mu-
sic with undated ardor. Tally-yang-sang forgot
his prisons and paternosters; and up and down
left hand aud right hand--ladies chain balancsee
reel -jig-and Spanish waltz, danced the bare
legged amateur, roaring with pain, and uttering
horrible imprecatons
'God is great = quoth Yoo-ti-hu.
His curse he on thee = roared Tally yang sang.
THU.
Blast it, shrieked Tally-yang sang.
Music hath charms said Yoo-ti-hu.
'Damnablep roared Tally yang sang.
Yoo-t-hu perceived he vigor departing from
the limbs Of the Grea, Nazir whereupon he struck
up still livelier air. Tally yang-~ang curveued
and pranced whrled hliier and ththe his bare
spndes, and leaped mady among The thorns. In
agony ofpain he cried, Dear, gentle Yoo ti-hu,-
| beseech thee to stnpn

Words are cheap said Yoo-ti-hu.
But swear-I soemnly swear !! piteously cri-
ed Tally yang sang.

Another good hour did Tally-Vang- sang caper
about, roar and blaspheme, till cruelty excoriated
from head to foot.
Do you swear" asked Yoo-ti-hu.
Il do.

by my beardr
In truly pliable condition the Grand Nazir
limped toward the palace. Yoo-ti-hu followed
admirlng The handy and scarified legs of the great
Taly-yang sang, and muttering benedictions en-
the genius.
