The time which they awaited with so much anxiety
at last came. There was a sound of voices in the outer
apartment-thc blocks Of stone which closed the com
munlcation between them We're removed, aud HamorS,
accompanied by some Of his happy and hardy noun
taineers, entered the dungeon. Their joy at meeting
was mutual, for the unwavcring faithfnlness of Hamors
had endeared him to both Everington and Corolnn.

exultingly 'aiter every exeltion which pawer or in
genuity could devise, he has been completely bailcd.
The mystery ct your escape he has never been able to
unravel-the largest rewards have proved Intellectual to
discover your retreat, and the pursuit has been given

We are safe.
Preparations were immediately commence for 4 re-
moyal from the retreat which had so long afforded them
security and shelter.
Soon they emerged from the Suhterranean well-like
opening, into the upper air and never with such feel
ings of emotion had Evorington and Corolin hoheld the
bright stars as they rolled along through the heavens
over spotless azure-gazed on the silver tips OF Diana
crescent, as it sunk behind the mountaius-breathed the
pure air which was filled with the incense of numberless
towers-or listened to the hum which animated nature
sends forth, even in its most quiet and secluded retreats.
llamOrs led the way through the ruins, and when they
emerged from them into the plain, they found themselves
at once in the midst of Il dozen of the mountainecrs,
who, with high spirited stecds; ready for them to mount,
awaited their arrival. Not il moment was lest in con-

himself by her side, and rapidly leaving the c%rumbling
fragments OF ancient Persian greatness far behind them.
Long before morning they found themselves among
the hills, which marked the commencement of the noun
famous region; and when day dawned, they were safe
from pursuit amidst its deep and inaccessible Businesses
and defles. They had left Schiras and the domains of
Abbas Mira forever; and the brave and h~ospitable chill
dren of the mountains welcomed them with patriarchal
simplicity and affection to their rude mansions. Not
withstanding the affcctionate kindness of Evcrington, it
was impossible for Corolnn at once to break, without
emotions Of regret, the strong ties of affection which
bound her to her father and when she remembered
that she had deserted home and friends for a stranger,
she felt that she was encounterlng a fearful hazard and
dear as Everington was to her, he sometimes caught the
tear swelling in her dark eye, as these recollections came
over her young and innocent bosom.
Skilled in reading the heart, Everington at once per-
ceived the source Of her regrets, and sympathizing with
her grief, he kissed away her tears, and banished her
fears by assurances of never failing love and protection.
Among the kind inhabitants of the mountain, Evering-
ton thought it prudent to remain but a short time for
though the country to the west of the uetzerdera scarce
ly owned allegiance to the Persian crown, and the brave
Kurds still maintained a tacit independence, yet his fears,
added to the counsel of Hamors, induced him to place
himself and his beautiful Corolinn, as soon as possible,
beyond the reach Of Abbas Mira.

his kind companions from the Hetzerdera, to the extent
of their wishes, and laden with every expression of his
and Corolinn's gratitude, saw them depart for their ma
tive homes. At Bussorah, he found the chaplain of the
English establishment at the English Gulf of Persia,
and was united by the tenderest of ties to the blushing
and beautiful girl, who had consented to unite her for
tunes with his. A vessel was on the point of sailing for
India, where they arrived, and embracing the favorable
moment, and waited by the %propitious monsoon, Ever
ington and Corolinn soon found themselves at Bombay,
where the flag of Britain assured him of protection.
After residing at Bombay for three years he was called
to Calcutta; and as his intimate acquaintance with the
Persian language, added to his knowledge of Indian af-
fairs, rendered him a proper person to receive such an
appointment, on the recommendation of several officers
