ed her lute For thee I braid and bind my hair With fragrant Bowers, for only thee; Tfty tweet approval, all my cari Thy love the world to me! For thee I fold my fairest gown, . With simple grace, for thee, for thee! No other eyes in all the town Shall look with love on me. For thee my lightsome lute I tune, For the it else were mute for thee! The blossom to the bee in June Is less than thou tb me. De Obiircy, by nature proud, passion ate, reterVed and exacting, had wooed and won, with some difficulty, the young and timed girl, whose tenderness for her noble lover was blent with a shrinking awe, which all his devotion could not for a while overcome. At the time my story commences, he was making preparations to join the Cru Crusaders. - saders. Crusaders. He was to set out in a few days, and brave and chivalnc as be was, there were both fear aod grief io his heart, when be thought of leaving his beautiful bride for years, perhaps forever. Per Perfectly - fectly Perfectly convinced of her guileless purity of purpose, thought and deed, he yet had, as he thought, reason to suppose that her heart was, perhaps unconsciously to her self, estrabged from him, or rather that it never had been his. He remembered, with a thrill of passionate grief and indig indignation, - nation, indignation, her bashful reluctance to meet his gaze her timid shrinking from his touch aod thus her very purity and modesty, the soul of true effection, were distorted by his jealous imagination into indiffer indifference - ence indifference for himself and fondness for another Only two days before, lipdn suddenly en entering - tering entering her chamber, he had surprised her in tears, with a page's cap in her hand, and on her hearing his step, she had start started - ed started up blushing and embarrassed, and hid hidden - den hidden it beneath her riianile, which lay Up on the couch. Poor tie Coiircj ! This was indeed astounding; but while he bad perfect faith in her honor, he was too proud to let her see Lis suspicions. That cap! that crimson cap! It was not the last time he was destined to behold ill The hour of parting came; aod De Cour cy shuddered as he saw a smile certain ly an exulting smile lighten through the tears io the dark eyes of his bride, as she bade him for the last time "farewell." A twelvemonth afterwards, he was lan languishing - guishing languishing in the dungeons of the Eeast s chained and hopeless captive. CHAPTER II. "Ah! fleeter far than fleetest storm or steed, Or the death they bear, The heart, Inch tender thought clothes; like a dove, , With the wings of care!1' The sultan was weary; weaiy of his flowers and Lis fountains of his dreams and Lis dancing girls of Lis harem and himself. The banquet lay untouched be fore him. The rich chiboque was cast aside. The cooling sherbet shone io vain. The Almas tripped, with tinkling feet, Unmarked their motions light and fleet! ' His slaves trembled in his presence; for a dark cloud hung lewering over the brows of the great Lord of the East, and they knew, from experience, that there were both thunder and lightning to come ere it dispersed. But a sound of distant plaintive melody was heard. A sweet voice sighing to a lute; The sultan listened. "Bring hith hither - er hither the minstrel;" he said in a subdued tone; and 4 lovely, fair haired boy, in a page's dress of pale-green silk, was led blushing into the presence. ''Sing to me, child," said the Lord of the East. And the youth touched his lute, with grace and wondrous skill, and sang, in accents soft aa the ripple of a -rill, THE VIOLET'S LOVE. Shall I tell what the Vidlet said to the star, While she gazed through her tears on his beauty, afar! She sang, but her singing was only a eigh, And nobody heard it, but Heaven, Love and I; A sigh, full of fragrance and beauty, it stole Through the stillness up, up, to the star's beaming soul She sang 'Thou art glowing with glory and ; , - might, .: . And I'm but a flower, frail, lowly and light I ask not thy pity, I seek not thy smile; I ask but to worship thy beauty awhile; ' To sigh to thee, sing to tbee, bloom for thine ' eye,' . : . ' And when thou art weaiy; to bless thee and die!" Shall I tell what Ibe star id the violet said, While ashamed, 'neath bis love-look, she hung ; her young head!

ridinff in his eilded carriaeel Look! he slops before a magnificent .mansiqn, and liveried lacqueys, obedient to Lis nod, assist Lim to descend. Do you see that poor, miserable boy, whoes tattered clothes scarcely shield hio from th inclemency of the weather! Mark! with whata beseeching look he so- " licits th rich man to buy a pencil or a card of pens; and behold how conlempttU ously L is spurned. Twenty-five years ago that pompous man was as poor, as inenuicss ana as wretched as the urchin he despises. Twenty-five tears have pasted sloe that day, the same parties meet lu! the contrast. Tbe once poor boy itandsin the pride of manhood, active, intelligent, rich. A lovely woman, his wife, leans on Lis arm, and three blooming girls are' by Lis side. Grace is in every expression, aud affluence smiles in Lis unostentacious adornments. An old man approaches. The toteriogstep. the thrsadbar garments and the painful expression that frets in every feature, too plainly denote a man of want and woe.Bsi- terdead than thus to drag on aniisrabi existence! This may, at the first blush, appear to some an improbable romance. It is a truth. Murder, and the abd action an 1 supposed mnrder of a female. We learn from the Gallalion Union that an outrage was perpetrated io Davidson county, Tenn., which resulted in the death of William B. Norman, deputy sheriff, and the abduction and supposed murder, ot Mrs. Sarah Dinning. It seems that Mrs. Dinning gave information againit her hus band, James Dioriing, Granville Diooinj, Anthony Dinning, and Washington Mor gao, concerning their atealhng a barrel of whiskey, on which charge they were arrested, but fro some cause were dis. charged by the committing court. They were afterwards, however, all again in. dieted, and Washington Morgan again ar arrested. - rested. arrested. Mrs. Dinning being the only pros ectiting witness, great fears were enter tamed of her safety so much i, that her brother-in-law, Mr, Madisuri Dinning (at whose houm she was staying.) requested Mr. Norman to stay with him and protect her. Dining the night, the three ' Don Donning, - ning, Donning, accompanied by time ten or twelv Others, attacked the house, nod having murdered Norman, carried Mrs. Dinning off. A reward of (rotn three t3 four hun hundred - dred hundred dollars has been off Ted, and an ap application - plication application has been made to the Governor to offer a reward. Creat excitement is prevailing, as Norman was very popular, aod as there was an evident desire that Morgan should be convicted, and Mrs. D. was the sole witness against him. OAio Slateimdn.

For me to betray, were the words ha said to ber, ,. But as she lay listening that low lullaby, A smile lit the tear in the timid flower's eye; And when death had stolen her beauty and v bloom, The ray came again to play over her tomb. Long ere the lay had ceaaed, the cloud in the sultan's eye bad desolved in tears. Never bad music so moved Lis soul. "The lute was enchanted! the youth was a Peri, who had lost Lis way! Surely it must bis so!" "But sing me now a bolder strain!" And the beautiful child flung back his gol golden, - den, golden, curls aod swept the strings more proudly than before, and his voice took a clarion-tone, and his dark; steel-blue eyes flashed With L'eroib fire as he sang THE CRIMSON PLUMB. Oh! know ye the knight of the red waving 4 plumel Lo! Jus lightning smile gleams through the battle's wild gloom, Like i flash through the tempest; oh! fly from that smile! T it tho wild Are bf fury it gibws to be- . guile! And hit sword-wave is death, and his war-cry is doom! Oh! brave not the knight of the dark crimson plume! His armor it black, at the blackest midnight; Hit steed like the ocean1 foam, spotlessly , white; His crest a crouched tiger, who dreams of fierce joy joy-Its - Its joy-Its motto 'Beware! for I wake to destroy!' And hit t word-wave it death, and bit war cry is doom! . Oh! brave not the knight of the dark crimson pltime! 'By Allah! thou hast magic io thy voice! One more! and ask what thou Wilt. Were it my signet-ring 'tis granted!" Tears of rapture sprang to the eyes of the minstrel-boy, as the sultan spoke, and bis young cheek flushed like a morning cloud. Bebding over his lute to hide bis emotion, be warbled once again THE BROKEN HEART'S APPEAL. Give me back my childhood' truth! Give me back my guileless youth! Pleasure, Glory, Fortune, Fame, ' These 1 will riot stoop to claim! Take them! All of Beauty's power, All the triumph of hit hour Is not worth one blush' you Btole Give me back my bloom of soul! Take the cup and take the gem! What have I to do with them! Loose the garland from my hair! Thou shouldst wind the night-shade there; Thou who wreath's t, with flattering art, Poison flowers to bind my heart! Give me back the rose you stole! Give me back my bloom of toul! "Name thy wish, fair child. But tell me first what good genius Las charmed thy lute for thee, that thus it sways the soul!" ( "A child-angel, with large melancholy eyes and wings of lambent fire we Franks have named him Love. He led me here and breathed upon my lute." "And where is he now!" "I Lave Lid him in my heart," said the boy, blushing as he replied. "And what is the boon thou wottldst ask!" The youthful stranger bent his knee, and taid in faltering tones "Thou Last a captive Christian knight; let Lim go free and Love shall bless thy throne!" "He is thine thou shall thyself release him. Here, take my signet with tbee." And the fair boy glided like an angel of light through the guards at tbe dungeon door. Bolts and bars fell before Lim for he bore tbe talisman of Power and be stood in bis beauty and grace at tbo cap live s couch, and bade him rise and go forth, for he was free. "De Courcy, Lalf-awake, gazed wist fully on the benign eyea that bent over Lim. He Lad just been dreaming of Lis gtiardian angel; and when Le saw tbe beautious stranger boy with Lis locks of light Lis Leavenly smile Lis pale, sweet face Le bad no doubt that this was the celestal viaitant of Lia dreams, and, following with love and reverence his spirit-guide, Le scarcely wandered at hia sudden disappearance when they reached the court. CHAPTER lit. "Pure at Aurora when she leave her couch, Her tool, soft couch in Heaven, and, blush ing", shake The balmy dew-drops from her locks of light" Safely tbe knight arrived at bis castle gate, and as be alighted from bis steed, a lovely wohian sprang through tbe gloomy archway, aod lay in tears upua Lis bressl. "ty wife! aj sweat, true wife! Is it iode3 tbon! Thy cbsek . is palet than ita want.' Hast mourned for vie, dty love!" Aod lb knight put batit th long black locks and gaied ofon that Sad sweet face Ok' the delicious joy of that dear tntsliog! Was h'toi it Ar tot bright to last!

From the Saturday Evening Port fcOXG AND SORROW; ' Tht Melancholy day have Come," v t. t. w. Touch my harp, oh! Muse of Sorrow! Softly touch its broken string, Now thy minstrel I would borrow, O'er me spread thy drooping wing! Spirits sighing, round me hover, Fading beauty's spirit-spell, Like the Ibte of Snpho's lover, Breaths the language of farewell! Where has fled the summer's beaming, Where the bird and humming bee Where the dew-drop, sparkling, gleaming, Sun-lit diamonds on the lea! Where the spirit-breathing zephyr, "'. Playing on tho rose-bud's lip lip-Where - Where lip-Where has fled the music-murmur When the bees its honey sipl 13 See tho downy thistle flying Mutely o'er the withered grass, Hear the faded leaflets sighing, - As they on their journey pass! 24 , Trace them to their Jowly dwelling, 31 Far away from beauty's home, X i Hear them there their sdrrows telling, 21 Never here again to rbdm; 28 i Leaves are fading, see them falling, 5 ! Dropping in tho hollow's low; 12 Birds from hill and grove are calling I? For their kindred all to go! 26 2 Gone is every fragrant blossdm; 9 j Summer's breath has past a way; Bare and cold in Nature's bosom, Dimly falls the noon-tide ray. Thus are passing, thus are leaving Those we prize and fondly love; Sadly now my heart is grieving, Yet with joy I look above! With the summer, soft and stilly, Fled her spirit to the skies Young and lovely as tho lily, Scarcely blooming ero it dies! See the willow bending lowly! Hear 1 not her spirit there! Weeping minstrel! sad, yet holy, Is tho breathing of thy lyre! MISCELLAJYK THE MAGIC LUTE, BV FRANCES P. OSGOOD; CHAPTER I. My beauty! sing to me and make me glad! Thy sweet words drop upon the ear as soft As rose leaves on a well. Feslui. On a low stool at the feet of the Count die Courcy sat his brido, the youthful Lady Lo j aline. One delicate, dimpled hand hovered over the Strings of her lute, like a snowy bird, about to take wing with a burst of melody. The other she was play fully trying to release from the clasp of his. At last, she desisted from the attempt, and said, as she gazed up into his proud 'unfathomable eyes" "Dear De Courcy! how shall I thank you for this beautiful gift.' How shall 1 prove to you my love, my gratitude, for all your generous devotion to my wishes!" I.oyaline was startled by the sudden light that dawned in those deep eyes; but it pasod away and left them calmer, and prouJer than before, and there was a touch of sad nte'fes io the tone of his reply "Sing to me. tweet, aud thank me so!" Lojalino Sighed as She tubed the lute; It was ever thus, when she alluded to her lure; His (ace would lighten like a tempest-cloud, and then grow dark and still again, as il the fire ot hope and joy were suddenly kindled in the soul to be as sud suddenly - denly suddenly extinguished. What could it mean! Did he doubt her affection! A tear fell upon the lute, aud the said, "1 wiil sing THE LADY'S LAT." . The deepest wrong that thou couldat do, Is thus to doubt my love for thee, For questioning that thou question 'st too, My truth, my pride, my purity. Twcre worse than falsehood thus to meet . Thy least caress, thy lightest smile, -- Nor feel my heart exulting beat - , With sweet, impassioned joy the anile. The deepest wrong that thou couldst do, . Is thus to doubt my faith professed; How should , love, be less than true, When Most art noblest, bravest, best! . ; TLe tones of Ibe Lady Loyalint's voice were sweet and clear, yet so low.sodaiot low.sodaiot-ly - ly low.sodaiot-ly delicate, that the heart caught them rather than Ibe car. De Courcy fell his soul soften beneat those pleading accents, sod Lis eyes, as La gaxsd upon her, war filled with unutterable love and sorrow. How beautiful ale was!

The knight sprang forward to cleave tbe daring intruder tb the earth; But the stranger flung to the ground the cap and and the golden locks, aod De Courcy fell at the feet, not of a minstrel-boy, but of his own true-hearted wife, and begged her forgiveness, and blessed her for her heroic and beautifut devotion. Tulips and Roses. My ilosa, from the latticed grove, . , Brought me a tweet boquet of posies, And asked, as round my neck she Clung, If tulips I preferred to roses?

At a banquet, given, in honor of Ds Courcy's return, some oif the guests, flush flushed - ed flushed with wine, rashly let fall in his hear ing all insinuation which awoke all his former doubts, and, upon ioquiry, he found to his horror that during his absence the Lady Loyaline had left her borne for mouths, and none knew whither or why she wept, but all could guess, they hinted. De Courcy sprang up, with his band on the Left of Lis sword, and rushed toward the chamber of Lis wife. Shf met him io the anteroom, and liatend calmly and par tiently as he give vent lo all Lia jealous wrath, and bade her prepare to die. Her only reply was "Let me go to my cham chamber; - ber; chamber; I would say one prayer; then do with me as you will." "Begone!" The chamber door closed on the grace fill form and sweeping robes of the Lady De Courcy. But in a few moments it opened again, and forth came, with meek
