The Wise Ambassador.

We remember reading, in an old French
magazine, accounts Of an ambassador
from the court of the Emperor Charlie
magnc to that Of an Eastern monarch.
Dining one day in company with the
barbarian king and the great men of the
court, not knowing the regulations and
the etiquette of the East, the ampassador,
without dreaming of harm, moved with
his hand dish which had been placed
near him on the table.
Now the laws Of the tyrant required
that if any guest touched dish that was
brought forward, before the king was
served, he should suffer the penalty of
death; consequently, all eyes were turn
ed upon the ambassador of Charlemagne,
and there was immediate outcry against
him; for the courtiers of the tyrant
thought to gain his favor by upholding
him in his tyranny.
The barbarian king feared to displease
so great an emperor as harlemagne, but
he feared to transgress his own laws more,
and he then told the ambassador that he
must suffer death for what he had
done.
"Great king" said the Frank, II sub
nit to my fate. The laws of sopowerful
a monarch should not be broken with i'm
punity. | die without murmur, but, in
the name Of the great emperor whose
servant l am, l beg of your majesty one
favor before l die"
"Ihou speakest we'll, " replied-the bar
barian king. 1t is not my will that
thou suffer death, but, since the laws re-
quire it, give thee the promise Of king,
whose word is fate, that whatever thou
askest shall be granted. l haye spo-
Ken"
"Then l am satisfied replied the
ambassador. proudly; aRd he glanced
contemptuously at the obsequious cour-
tiera "All l ask is this Give NIB the

The tyrant seemed confounded, add his
fatterers turned pale; bit his word had
gone forth, and must be kept. The
Franks request must be granted.
{" 1t is wellP' said the king. "Their
eyes shall be plucked out for thee"
But when it was asked who had seen
the ambassador move the dish every cour.
tier was eager to deny that he had seen
the act. The servants also exclaimed
that they had not witnessed it, end the
king also declared that he himself had
