An Exquisite Story.
ny LAMERTINE.

In The tribe Of Neggdeh there was a
i;h6fss whose Vii fame was spread far and
near, and a Bedouin Of another tribe, by
name Daher, desired extremely to pos
sess it. Having offered in vain his cam
els for i, and his whole wealth, he hit at
length upon the following device, BY
which he hoped to sain the object oil his
desire: .y.. ...t.
He resolved to stain kis face with the
Juice Of an herb, TO clo,he himself in rags,
10 tie his legs and neck together, SO as
TO appear like lame beggar. Thus e.
ouipped he went to wait for Naber, the
owner of the horse, whom he knew was
to pass that way. When he saw Naber
approaching on his beautiful steed, he
cried ou. in weak voice,
q am a poor stranger; for three days |
have been unable TO move from this spot
TO seek for food. I am dying; help me
and heaven will reward you.'
The Bedouiu kindly offered to take him
up on bis horse and carry him home, but
the rogue replied:
Icannot rise; have no strength left
Naber, touched with pity, dismounted,
led his horse to the spot, and with great
difficulty. set the seeming beggar on his
back. But no sooner did Daher feel him
sslfin the saddle than ho gallOped off,
calling out as he did SO:

ven has willed i, / wish you Joy oft; 'ut
do conjure you never to tell any ae

Because, ; said the noble Arab, 'anoter
man might be really i'll and men wpld
fear TO help him, You would be Ehe
cause of many refusing to perform On
act Of charity for fear Of being dupe' as
! have been.'
Struck with shame at these words, oa'
her was silent for q moment, then sprhg-
ing from the horse, returned it to its q rn-
or, embracing him. Naber made him ac-
company him to his tent, where qsy
spent few days together, and became
ias. friends for life.

SOME THINGS LOVE ME.

All within and all without me,
Feel melancholy thrill,
And the darkness hangs around me
oh, how still.
To my feet the river slideth
Through the shadow, sullen. dark;
On tho stream tile white moon ride.h
Like bark.
And the linden leans above me,
Till think some things there be
In this drcary world that love me
Even me!
Gentle buds are blooming near me-,
Shedding sweetest breath around,
Countless voices rise to cheer me
From the ground.
And the lone bird comes; ] hear it,
In the tall and windy pine,
Pour the sadness Of its spirit
Into mine:
There i. sings and sings above me,
Till think some things there be
In this dreary world that love me
Even mel
Now the moon hath floa,ed 10 me,
On the stream see it sway,
Swinging, boat-like, as s',would WOO mi
Far away!
And the stars bend from the azure,
AZ they twinkle seem SO nigh,
And they whisper all the pleasure
OF the sky:
There they hang and smile above me-
Till l think some things there be
In the very heavens that love me
Even me-!
Now when comes the tide Of even,
Like asolemn river slow,
Gentle eyes AKIN to heaven
On me glow.
Loving eyes tha. tell their story
Speaking to my heart of hearts;
Blu, l sigh-a thing Of glory
: Soon departs.
Yet when Mary scars above me,
| must think that there will be
One more star in heaven to love me-

Three several efforts were made to

After this, other efforts were made,
