DO you swear 2 asked Yoo-ti-hu.

by that which is sacred?'
by my beard'
In a truly pitiable condition the Grand Nazil
limped toward the palace. Yoo-t-hu followed
admiring the handy and scarihed legs of the great
Tally-yang-saug, and muttering benedctons on
the genius.
Nv. 4oo-TI-HU IN DANGER.
The great raias, moguls, and lords of Gazaret
belonging to the court of Pokatoka, had sailed
out with the king, to take a stroll in the royal
gardens.
.fIo! cried Yptaleen, high master of the fes-
tivities, what fantastic clown comes hitber?
sAn Egyptian Dancer quoth the king.
"a selt-puniShcd Musselman,' added raia.
True said a grand mogul, 'for behind him
walks his koran bearer
Rather shia with his talisman, observed a
lord of Gazaret.
'Or sooni,' whispered pious Mohammedan.
"A blood-stained spirit of Ebris,' remarked
famous Astrologer.
'Hush!' exclaimed Yptaieen, sby all that is
terrible by monkn and nakir! It's Tally-yang-
sang, grand nazir of the harem!'
And 1aly-yang-sang it was, whose woeful
figure approached the pageant.
Mirror of Piety 7 cried the king, what means
this ouilandish freak? Methinks il i'll becomes
thee to tramp about, bare-legged and bloody, af-
ter this fashion, Propriety OF conduct, and deli
cacy, should distinguish master of the harem !;
and | much regret that thou hast iniringed, not
only on these, but on the laws of decency'
Sure, mighty monarch of Gazaret,' replied
Tally-yang- sang, wringing his hands and shifting
his breast, thy page deals with the devil for,
verify, he hath Lutte Of such bewtching tones,
that, when the same be played, could not help
skipping and dancing among the bushes till my
bones creaGed-my head whrled,- and | was
tlayed and excorated within an inch of my life
AS your highness may see.'
'Ially-yang-sang,' said the king gravely, sthy
character is lmpeached-t thou hast spoken of i'm
possibilities /; in fact, thou hast lied
by all that is solemn, ] have spoken the truth,
cried the grand nazir.
And nothing but the truth?'
AS live! protested Taly-yang-sang.
sThen Yoo-t-hu shall lose his head
'Nay,-I have sworn on nv beard to save it,
Generous Tally-yang- cried Pokatoka
thou art too lenient OF offence. Nevertheless,
Yoo-ti-hu shall be punished
Certainly said Tally-yang-sang, lit was nv
design to have him decently tlayed to death
which shall be done, quoth the king, If thou
provost the offence
Without farther delay the bare-legged and ex-
corated Taly-yang-sang ledthe way to the pal
ace and calphs, rajas, mogus and lords of Ga
zaret, followed admirngly in the rear
V. The TRIAL AND ITS EFFECTS.
The grand council-chamber of the palace was
presently crowded with courtiers, officers of the
guard, sicaries, mandarins, and pashas,-at the
head of whom, seated by his queen, and attended
by magnificent suite of pages sat Pokatoka,
King OF Gazaret. At a desk, Immediately un-
der the throne, sat venerable Arabian writer,
versed in heroglyphics, and ready to take min
utes of the whole proceedings. Ranged around,
stood number of beautiful Circassians, Georgi-
ans, Nubians, and Abyssinians-saves and wit
nesses from the kings harem: but the diamond
of these gems was Omanea, arraigned on charge
of having unlawfully bestowed her heart on Y 90
THU. The fact is, Tally-yang-sang was deter
mined that the lovers should both be condemned,
and had thus prepared matters for the prosecu-
tion In order to establish the truth of his CHARGE
he remaned--much to the edifcation of the
young slaves by whom he was surrounded--n
the same plight in which the king had met him.
'Quintessence of piety and disciple of wisdom,
said the king, proceed with thy charge.
Know Their, couriers, rajas, mandarins and
officers of the guard qnoth Tally-yang-sang,
that Yoo-ti-hu has stolen the heart of Omanea,
and-that his highnes-, the king commanded me
to rid the offender of his head. This very eve
ming roamed in the royal gardens, meditating
on the most agreeable plans of dacapation,
when espied the wicked Yoo-ti-hu. Having
lured me into horrd bush ; he struck up a tune
on his lute--the internal strains of which caused
me to dance till was torn to shreds--as you all
may perceive. Then
Stop there, cried Pokatoka, 'this story of the
lutte must be established ere you proceed far
ther'
Isolemly bcseech your mightiness otake my
word groaned Tally-yang- cycling the lutte
with horror,--Do, Great King of Gazaret! and
the blessings of heaven be on thee ?
Nay, cried the king, 'wc must have fair and
impartial investigation. Yoo-ti-hu, thou art
commanded on pain Of losing thy head to strike
us tune on thy lutte ?
For Gods sake implored the grand nazir,
since we must hear it, pray and beseech we to
bind me to post
Exactly in the middle Of the court stood post,
ornamented with divers beautiful designs, carv-
ed in wood and in gold; and TO this was the cham
berain firmly tied
Truth is mighty quoth the king, 'and will
out So proceed Yoo-ti-hu, in the name of God
and Mahommed, his Prophet!'
Yoo-ti-hu forthwith struck up his liveliest air;
and lords, rajas, and moguls; sages, phioso-
piers and mameukes officers of the guard, Sc
carries and mandarins slaves, young and lovely,
and old and ugly; disciples of Mahommed; priests
friars, saints and heretics; pages trainbearers,
and virgins of incense--sprang to their feet and
danced hther and thither--hornpipe, jig and mer-
ry reel--in such glee ana confusion as were ne
yer 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 gonty
the blasphemies Of the pious-the laughter of
the young-and the remonstrances CT the sage,
were all drowned il the lusty roars of Tally
yang-sang, who cruelty bruised his head against
the post in trying to beat time-tore the live
flesh from his back so eager was he 10 dance
and uttered horrid imprecation at every orna'
ment on the post.
sYoo-ti-hu Yoo-ti hu!' cried the brcathless
Pokatoka.
sYoo-ti-hu' screamed the dancing queen.
'Yoo-ti-hu Yoo-ti-hu!' was echoed and re-
echoed around by the mobiles and courtiers; and
to and fro they skipped, as Yoo-ti-hu piled his
merriest tunes--the floor groaning--the perspi-
ration streaming from their cheeks and their
