l. THE CONSULTATION.

I. THE CONSULTATION.
Yoo-ti-hu, the sprightliest and hand
soonest page in the suit of Pokatoka,
King of Gazaret, imprudently fell in
love with Omanea, the flower of the
Kings harem. 1t happened that he had
slight suspicion of Yoo-ti-hu's integri-
ty, and this rendered him perfectly
miserable. Tally-yang-sang, Great Ma
zir, or Chamberlain of the Harem, was
sent for.
"Mirror of Observation-Disclosures
of Piety-and Disciple of Wisdom" ="
such were the Graud Nazir's titles, and
so the King addressed him. Well
we know thy skill in affairs of the
heart. Well we know thy penetration
is never at fault! We have required
thy presence to demand if thou hast
noticed anything peculiar in the con-
duct of our peerless Omanea since the
addition of Yoo-ti-hu to our suite?"
There is lone dove" replied the
Grand Nazir, in his own mysterious way,
"whose nest is in the grove of love.
Even as this emblem of tenderness
awaits the coming of prisoned mate,
so pines in secret my lady Omanea."
"And by whom think you, Won
drous Tally-yang-sang, is this change
effected ?"
"Your mightiness would scarcely
thank me if make known my suspi-
cions, since they implicate your great
est favorite."
" Ha! It's THU! thought So!
l know it! He shall die
"God is great, murmured Tally
yang-sang."
"Let the pages head be brought to
me" said the King, "as token of my
displeasure. ."
" With all my heart, sire. 1 dis
like the youth. and your highness shall
be obeyed." The Grand Nazir bowed
down very low, and left the audience
chamber.

A MILLION OF POSTAGE STAMps.-Oc-
tober 1, 1872, young lady of Middle
town, Conn, set about the collection
of 900, 600 of postage stamps in two
years. Inspired by the absurdity of
the enterprise, and the inpossibility
of its accomplishment, her friends pro-
promised all sorts of things when she
achieved the million. This she rather
resented, and it set her to work
with greater determination than ever.
She is now on the last three months of
the allotted time, and has gathered over
900 900 stamps. The friends who
promised gifts when she had gathered
Il million begin to weaken and, are in
quiripg about the probable price of
silks, ponies, phaetons, diamonds and
watches, all of which, were named as
prizes to be awarded when the feat was
accomplished.

II. THE THREE WISHES.

Yoo-ti-hu, being accidently near,
heard what had passed. In the bitter
ness of despair, he rushed from the
palace, and roamed to q solitary re-
treat in the gardens.
How miserable am l." he cried
"to love SO hopelessly and so madly
Grant, oh, Inventive Genius. that l
may eyade the vigilance and persecu-
ton of Tally-yans-sang. Grant that
the Fates may aid me in this dilemma. ]"
Yoo-ti-hu, said q voice from the
shrubberv, thou hast incurred my dis
pleasure; but, nevertheless, since thou
art i'll dangerous situation, promise
thee three such things as thou shalt
choose"
"Verily,' quoth Yoo-ti-hu, "thou
art beautiful genius, and it is q sin
to reject aid from SO high source.
Know then, generous spirit, that I have
peculiar occasion for q bow and culver
of arrows.
GA modest request observed the
Genius, "and fortunately, l have by
me such an one as no living archer ever

that, such are it virtues that it will hit

"Bless thee thousand times!' cried
Yoo-ti-hu in an ecstacy of joy; and
since thou art so kind, l fancy I may

"Thou shalt have one, my son, of
such exquisite tones, that when the
same is played, all living things shall
skip and dance-so pleasant is the mu.
sic"
Delightful!-excellent!' cried Yoo-
THU.
"What next?" said the Genius.
Indeed, thou art too good" replied
Yoo-ti-hu.
Il am going now to rove the world
as simple minstrel. shall live on
birds, and amuse myself with my Lutte
so I need nothing more"
But, son, I solemnly swear thou
shalt have three things, be they ever so
costly"
"Well, good Genius, since thou art
so kindly disposed, shall choose an
inexhaustible purse"
''The very thing I have in my pock-
ct" quoth the Genius, and handing the
inexhaustible purse to Yoo-ti-hu, he
disappeared Immediately.
III. TALLY-YANG-sANG IN A PLIGHT.
Yoo-ti-hu seated himself on the steps
of fountain to admire his bow and
his lutte. Tally-yang-sang, CHANGING to
roam in the vicinity, espied the page,
whereupon he assumed q very severe
countenance, and approaching the spot,
spoke thus: Yoo-ti-hu, thou art an
unfaithful wretch! Thou hast betrayed
the confidence of thy King. Thou
hast entered his harem and stolen the
heart of Omanea! Know then, that
am commanded to carry him thy head
as slight token of his displeasure."
Verify, great and worthy Nazir,"
quoth Yoo-ti-hu, 81 can show thee
pleasanter sport than that. Seest thou
yon Bird Of Paradise with plumage
more bright than the Iris? Behold,
your highness, how I shall shoot him."
Yoo-ti-hu drew his bow-shut his eyes
and let fly an arrow.
The bird fell quivering among the
