reply of Abbas Mira.
A wave of Everington's hand was sufficient to clear
the room of his attendants, an example which was fol-
lowed by the prince. Everington then struck a blow on
the Chinese gong which hung in the room, and directed
the servant who obeyed the summons, to inform his mis-
trcss that her presence was requested. The prince re-
NAMED without speaking until she was announced, when
Everington met her; took her hand and led her to the
prince, who instantly rose from the divan to meet her.
'By Allah the same beautiful creature still said
the prince, as if thinking aloud, at the moment he took
her hand, and with oriental gallantry kneeled as he
placed it to his lips.

Corolinn left the apartment and in a few minutes,
returned with her two beautiful girls, one in each hand.

the prince to Everington, with visible emotion, as he
gazed on the lovely children, the picture of their mother

At this moment the voice of the Imaun was heard

Blowing to Corolinn and her daughters, the prince AZ

After accomplishing the objects of this mission, Ever
ington and his charming family proceeded to Bussorah,
on the Persian Gulf, and from THENCE embarked for
Europe. The beautiful Corolinn, in the circles Of the
metropolis, still found that admiration continued to follow
her but disgustcd with the formal heartlcssness of so
ciety, she sighed for the quiet happiness she had enjoy
ed at Agra, and her wishes on that point corresponding

Importance of Trees to Health.
1t has lately been suggested that the fever and ague
might be avoided, in districts scourged by that terrible
disease, by setting out rankly growing plants between
the infectious marshes and the points endangered by the
miasma. At the National Observatory, in Washington,
the experiment was tried, the last summer, of planting
sunAowers at the foot Of the lawn, so as to. screen the
house from the marshes, and with signal success for
though the fever and ague prevailed every where around,
it was absent from the observatory, for the first time
for years. The experiment is to be repeated this year,
in a better manner, in order to demonstrate whether the
exem ption was merly a coincidence, or more. Lieut..
Maury, who suggested the trial, assuming that the plants
caused the exemption, attributes it to the consumption
by the sunflowers Of the deletcrious miaslna evolved bv

would be more philosophical, if the miasma originated in
in the decay of animal matter. Experience proved,
moreover, that any shelter, such as a belt of woods, an
intervening high ground, Or other obstruction, will
protect a particular spot from intermittent fever, though
all the neighborbood may be ravaged by the disorder.
But trees, however healthy in the vicinity of human
habitations, should not be planted too near a dwelling.
In cities, there is little danger of evil consequences from
this, for trees, however close to a house, rarely grow high
enough to oyorshadow it. But many country residences
are rendered sckly for being too thickly embowered
among. trees. Sunlight and fresh air are indispensable
to health: Show us a cottage, CT an old-fashioned,
manorial-like country house, overshadowed by trees, so
drops ON the roof after showers, and we will show you a
place where rheumatism, colds, fevers and chills prevail,
according to the geological peculiarities of the district,
and the individual constitution Of the inmates. In cities.
where animal life prcdominates, more vegetation is re.
quired for the general health. But in the country.
where vegetable life is in the ascendant, trees, though
they may properly be planted so as to screen a house
