So light to the saddle before her he sprung;

Thenext day was spent by Everington
in making the necessary preparations for
flight. Horses were procured, and every
thing arranged long before the evening
c,me on. Hwas the intention of Ever
ington to gain. if possible, the passes of
the Hertz .rjera before morning with his
prize; and then secreted themselves or pro.
ceed, as circumstances should dictate.
Among the rude but hospitable natives of
these mountains, he knew he could have
time 70 d,termine on his future course He
was the more confirmed in his plan because
Hamors had spent some years in that re-
gion, when young, md was well acquaint-
Cd, no, only with kurdis.an dialect, spok.
an there, but was familiar with the locali.
ties Of that m,untain region; and because
from tia, pin, be could with eq,al ease,
pursue his route to Bagled or fetish.
Evening came, and every thing was
prepared for flight. As the las, rays Of the
setting sun gilded the peaks Of the Hertz.
erdera, E,erington and Hamors placed
their s.eeds in a thick grove of mangoes,
at q considerable distance from the city,
and but short space from the river, down
which, should they succeed in escaping
from tho gardens. they knew i. would be
necessary to font. They procured the
lille ak itf which they had used the evening
previous, and rs the moon began to decline,
md r,ake tho hSur appointed, Everington
and his servant found themselves at the
piace Of ascent. The boat was again Sc.
cured, and ngain they successfully nscend-
ed the wall. Every thing around them
bore the seme appearance of festivity and
ioyousness, which i, hnd done the evening
before. The pla e was illuminated-lamps
gliitered in every recess 10 which the mo m
beams could not pene:raie-gay and beau
iiful forms, the tenants ofthe harem, were
gliding about, their steps followed at dis.
tance by the black eunuchs, who bad them
in charge-music lent its wl.chery and
while the adventurer carefully threaded his
way through the most unfrequented walks,
and Of intervals, c,ugh, glimpses of the
majestic domes of the paiace-whiie he
listened to the sweet notes Of music-while
tho air was freighted with the fragrance Of
thousand flowers, he felt that the splen-
did scenes of oriental romance were not
altogether fabulous.
Silently they approached the bower, and
Evering,on breathed more freely, when he
saw two female forms: the niry graceful
ness Of one Of which he could not mistake,
enter beneath the shadows of the orange
'nnd acuciaa, whose branches met and min
Eled over the opposite entrance. He was
not mistaken, for in a moment the beauti-
fu: Coralinn was in his arms, and clasped
TO his bosom.
Thank heaven, we have met, trust

girl.

Coralinn, said Eyerington, ii you love
me, think not of any danger that threatens

Eysrington, taking the fearful and half re.

lofty burden he led the way to the wall fol
lowed by their two attendants. .ss
Without difficulty they ascended to the
summit, from whence, withou, delay. EY-

shore, who we're enjoying the beautiful
evening, and Hamors, to prevent notice,
mingled the music Of his flute with fhat
which from the shores echoed over the
waters, on which the last rays of the de.
clining moon were lingering. Gradually
