THE STORY OF PRINCE AMURATH.
FROM TIE ARABIAN NIGHTS.

In The kingdom OF Khaledan there once
rejgned powerful and prosperous pripce
named Amurath. He was descended from the
ancient line Of the Persisn kings, Of whose EN-
pite Khaledan itself was, in former times,
merely province. It's people, however, e2-
asperated by the tyranny Of their yiceroys, had
reyolted; and after bitter contest Of seven
years, their banners doated in triumph from
the borders Of Persia to the borders of India.
They transferred their allegiance to the young
est son Of their former master-a prince who
was not unworthy Of his fortune. The astrol-
ogers had forctold, at his birth, that notle
destiny awaited him. .! He will become" !" said
they, "the founder Of a new dynasty, and his
reign will he glorious and happy Against
dangers from without he has nothing to fear.
The fairy Izaide will watch over him, and SO
long as he listens to her counsels, undazzled
By prosperity and uncorrupted by power, he
will be fortunate and strong.''
As prince Amarath grew to manhood, these
predictions were realized. In person he Was
well-fomed, handsome and athletic. In his
youth he vas stranger to the etfeminate
pleasures and ignoble sloth, in which 80 many
princes pass their lives, and he was rewarded
by the possession Of health and strength, by a
keen and piercing eye, a Wen-knit and power
fu1 frame. His disposition vas amiab1e, and
he endeavored By wise laws to secure the hap
piness Of his people. The meanest peasant
might confidently appeal to him for justice
and protection; and daily, as he went forth,
in gorgeous attire Of blue and crimson satin,
arangled with golden stars, his subjects fol
lowed him with songs and benedictions.
By reighboring monarchs he Was styled the
Fortunate Prince. His resources we're wasted
| by foreign war5; the fertile valleys Of Khal
| edan Yielded their fruits with regularity and
pro{usion; the hum Of busy industry neve,
ceased; and go, year after year, the kingdom
| waxed more rich and more powerful.
But "there is no cup without its bitter
drop,'' saith the Arabian proyerb, end the
| fortune Of Prince Amnrath WIS no exception
to the common lot Of mortals. At his cour'
resided d potent magician named Abaddon
| Of an age so immense that he was thought BY
many to be Immortal. The disposition o
this parsonage was crafty, implacab1e ani
cruel; his appearance hideous and repulsive
His body was SO bent that he vas not more
than three feet III height, and his limbs wer'
| misEhapen aud distorted. Ills coupleSioI
