AZ Exquisite STORY ny LAMARTINE.-In the
tribe of Ncggdeh there was horse whose fame
was spread far and near, and Bcdouin of an.
other tribe, by name Dahcr, desired extremely
to possess Il. Having offered in vain for it
his camclS and his whole wealth. he hit at
length upon the following device, by which
he hoped to gain the object Of his desire. lie
resolved TO stain his face with the juice of an
herb; to clothc himself in rags, to tic his leg
and neck together, so as to appear like lame
bcggar. Thus equipped he went to wait for
Nabcr, the owner Of the horse, who he knew
was to pass that way. When he saw Nabcr
approaching on his beautiful stecd, he cried
out in weak voice, 81 am poor, stranger; for
three days have been unable to move from
this spot to seek for food. ] am dying; help
INC, and Heaven will reward YOU" The Bed
oun kindly offered to take him up on the
horse and carry him home but the rogue re
piled 81 cannot rise; have no strength left"
Nabcr, touched with pity, diSmountcd. led
his horse to the spot and, with great difficult
ty, set the seeming begSar on its back. But
no sooner did Dahcr feel himself in the saddle,
than he set spurs to the horse and gallopcd
off calling out as he did so, ut is |, Dahcr,
have got the horse, and am of with it. Ma
Der called after him to stop and listen. Ger
tain Of not being pursued, he turned and halt
cd at n short distance from Nabcr, who was
armed with n spear. "YOu have taken my
horse" said the latter. "Since heaven has
willcd it, | wish you joy Of it; but conjurc
you not to tell any one how you obtained it."
"And why nOt!" said Dahcr. because"
said the noble Arab, "anothcr man may real
~ be H., and men would fear to help him. =
You would be the cause Of many refusing to
perform an act Of charity, for fear of being
dupcd as | have been" Struck with shame
at these words, Daher was silent for moment;
then springing from the horse, returned it to
its owner, embracing him to his tent, where
they spent few days together, and became
fast friends for life.

That sivers in its light
And underneath the purple sky,
The sound of small waves creeping by
Goes whispering through the night.
Hangs DER the ROOM So strangely still,
Like shadows DER u tomb:
Where heavy curtains, fold on fold,
Shutfn the silence weird aud cold,
And two hearts in the gloom.
One face hath caught the look Of peace
They wear beneath the pail
And one, with heavy thrObs of dread.
Keeps watch above the shrou,lcd dead,
And prays, "GOd keep us ull"
