COROLINN.
A PERSIAN - TALE.
CHAPTER V.
After a hurried march over the plain,
night overtook them, and they encamped
near the ruins of Perscpolis. Closely pin
ioned and secured as Everington was, he
was none the less carefully guarded; and
his present situation, added to the prospect
before him, did not suffer him to rest.
Morning came, and with it the march was
resumed; and before noon, Everington
found himself fettered, and close within the
walls of Sehiras. No sooner had the party,
with the fugitives, entered the city, than
they were met by a messenger from the
prince, who held a short conference with
the chief, at the close of which, Everington
was taken from the horse, blindfolded, and
then, with a guard on each side, marched a
considerable distance, when they suddenly
halted for a few moments. Soon the harsh
and heavy grating of some massive door on
its hinges, told Evorington that they were
entering some building, though what and
where it was he could not tell.
When the door closed behind them, the
transition from the hum and bustle of the
city, to the total and death-like silence
around them, spoke plainly of the thickness
of the walls with which they were enclosed.
After descending a flight of steps, another
door opened, and from the hollow reverbera
tions of the echoes, it appeared-they were
traversing a subterranean passage. Another
flight of steps was succeeded by another
to be traversed, at the extremity of which
the third and last door opened.
Everington’s hands were now unbound ;
the irons taken from his feet; the door was
partly unclosed; and still blindfolded, he
was thrust through it, and the door instant
ly closed upon him. He tore the turban
with which he had been blinded, from his
head, but impenetrable darkness met his
eye ; and he heard the harsh grating of the
keys, as bolt after bolt was turned upon
him.
“I am buried alive,” said Everington
aloud, and he started at the hollow and un
earthly sound of his own voice ; he remem
bered the accounts he had heard of the dun
geons of Schiras, where kingly vengeance
immured those victims it did not dare open
ly to immolate.
He called aloud, but was only answered
by echoes gloomy as the dungeons that gave
them birth. The chilliness and dampness
of the air proved that he was far under
ground j and the only thing that gave him
hope, was, that once he fancied he felt the
winnowing of a bat’s wing, as it flitted
around him in the pitchy darkness, and that,
he thought, demonstrated the certainty of
some communication with the upper air.
He moved a few feet and his hand struck
against a wall.
“I will at least know the extent of my
dungeon,’’ said Everington, as with his hand
upon the wall, which was covered with
mould and dampness, he slowly groped his
way along. * * * *
How the time passed away he had no
means of knowing, but a painful sensation
of hunger and thirst —a sickening faintness
which attended the least movement —a con
fusion ofideas, and debility of body, demon
strated that he had breathed a pestilential
air, under the influence of which the pow
ers of life could not survive. The inclina
tion to sleep was excessive, but he dared
not indulge it, for his sleeping moments
were more dreadful than his waking ODes,
and that dread was not wholly owing to the
harassing effect of his imagination. Once
when he attempted to sleep, he was sudden
ly aroused by finding a snake, qold and
chilling, endeavoring to force its way’.be
neath the clothing of his body, and coiling
its folds around his neck. The instant he
was motionless, reptiles of various kinds
began to gather around him, and, he felt
as if they had already marked him for their'
prey. How gladly would he have welcomed
death !
At last, when hope had fled, when he
thought that his feelings had been rendered
callous by the intensity of suffering, a slight
sound in the subterranean regions of his
dungeon aroused him from his lethargy.—
Listening with ears which had been render
ed acute by misery, he heard voices, and
then footsteps in the passage that led to his
dungeon. Again he heard the numerous
holts withdrawn, and at last—joyful sight!
a gleam of light darted through the open
ing door, and greeted eyes which had so
long been deprived of its exhilarating in
fluence. As the door opened a soldier en
tered, whose countenance manifested much
surprise at finding the prisoner living.
“Frank,” said the soldier, “you are sent
for j let us first put this turbary over your
eyes.”
Everington did not refuse, and
turban was again taken from his eyeS?%e
was standing before the prince, Abbas Mir
za, in the hall of justice. The prince did
not deign to notice him, but sat with his
eyes fixed, apparently, on the magnificent
carpet whic*|overed the divan. Near him,
sat the cadi®r chief justice of the city,
waiting the orders of his superior; and a
circle of officers and guards of the prince,
completed the list of persons present. In
a large mirror which was suspended against
the wall, Everington saw his own figure,
and was shocked at the change'which had
taken place in his appearance—pale and
sallow—his eyes hollow and sunken —his
countenance ghastly, and his person cover
ed with the filth of the dungeon—the whole
conspired to prove the pestilential and foul
condition of the place in which he had been
immured.
Everington was roused fromtfte contem
plation of the persons by wjfisur
rounded, and of his own haggard appeimLnce,
by a person whose business it was to act the
part of public accuser, and who, kneeling
before the prince, said—
‘‘Most just and glorious prince, Abbas
Mirza, the prisoner awaits your pleasure and
your justice.”
‘•He has had a taste of our justice alrea
dy replied the prince, with a nod to the
cadi, “let him be brought forward.’’
Everington was then brought forward and
placed immediately in front of the divan,
and with silence awaited the charge.
“brauk,’{ said the cadi, (among the Mo
hammedan nations of the East all Europe
ans are called Franks,) fixing his eyes firm
ly upon Everington, and stroking his long
beard with great complacency, “it is not the
habit of the children of the sun to punish
offenders without giving them a hearing ;
we require you, therefore, to answer such
questions, as, by order of his highness the
prince, will be proposed to you.”
Everington remained motionless.
“Are you acquainted with Corolinn Her
man *
“I am/'
“What was your motive in endeavoring to
carry her off, against her will and wishes ?”
“It was to add to mine and her happi
ness.’’
“You acknowledge that it was your inten
tion to carry her away from the dominions
of the prince, which may Allah preserve !
and marry her
“I acknowledge it.’’
“It is enough,” said the prince ; “the pre
sumptuous infidel stands convicted by his
own confession. Proceed to judgment.’’
The cadi then rose, and, after recapitula
ting the offence, and mingling his expres
sions of regret with praises of the clemency
and mercy of the prince, proceeded to con
demn him to the punishment of the boat.
The punishment of the boat was one
which was reserved for those guilty of of
fences against the king; although it was
allowed in extraordinary cases, or where by
torture government wished to extort con
fession. It was called the punishment of
4he boat, from the shape of the engine by
which the torture was accomplished. This
resembled two small boats laid together,
with holes cut at each end, in one of which
was placed his head and the other his feet.
The miserable wretch condemned to the
boat, was, with his hands and feet securely
pinioned, laid on his back in the machine,
his feet placed in the notices made
to receive them, and then the upper part,
which at those places was nipely fitted, so
as to prevent the least movenfent, was put
on and securely fastened down.
All that could now be seen was the head
and the feet; the former supported by the
projection of the machine, the face upper
most and exposed to the burning rays of the
scorching sun, and the confined and immo
vable situation producing the most intense
agony. Into the lower part of the machine
was poured water, mixed with honey and
treacle, with other ingredients, to invite the
wasps and flies, with which the country
abounded. To add to the torment, and
prolong life as long as practicable, food is
furnished in profusion; and if, weary of
existence, the wretched creature refuses to
eat, sweetened milk is poured down, so that
he is unable to effectual resistance.
But the most intense misery was that felt
by the sufferer, when, as wSs frequently the
case, the eye-lids were fastened open, and
that most sensitive organ' exposed to the di
rect rays of a mid-day sun without the pos
sibilityiof closing them.
Such was the dreadful punishment Ever
ington now saw before him.
They were already on the banks of the
Bendemer—the instrument of torture was
before him —an immense throng had col
lected to witness the fearful catastrophe.
The chief ordered the attendants to strip
Everington of his outer garments, a com
mand which was at once obeyed. After he
had been pinioned', with a presence and
firmness of mind which drew murmurs of
applause from those who but a moment be
fore been so riady to curse the 1 infidel
<l%, and-.exult in the prospect of his ap
proaching punishment, Everington laid him
self down in the him, and
was instantly and immovably secured.
Remarkable Esoapes of Eminent Men
Last century a young man holding a sub
ordinate position in the East India Compa
ny’s service twice attempted to deprive him
self of life by snapping a loaded pistol at his
head; Each time the pistol missed fire.
A friend entering his room shortly afterward,
he requested him to fife it out of the win
dow ;it went off without any difficulty. Sat
isfied thus that the had been duly
primed and loaded, the young man sprang
up, exclaiming, “ I must be reserved for
something greatand. from that moment
gave up the idqp of which for some
time preyious, had been uppermost in his
thoughts. Thatjyoung man afterwards be
came Lord Clive. Two brothers were on
one occasion walking together when
storm of thunder and lightning overtook
them. One was struck dead on the spot,
the other was spared; else would the name
of the great reformer, Martin Luther, have
been unknown to mankind. The holy St
Augustine, having to preach at a distant
town, took with him a guide, who, by some
unaccountable means, mistook the usual
road, atadfell into aby path. He afterward
discovered that his enemies, having heard
of his movements, had placed themselves in
the proper road with the design of murder
ing him. Bacon, the sculptor, when a ten
der boy of five years old, fell into a pit of a
soapboiler, and must have perished, had
not a workman, just entering the yard, ob-*
served his head, and immediately delivered
him. W hen Oliver Cromwell was an infant

a snatched him from his cradle,
leaped with him through a garret window,
and ran along the leads of the house. The
utmost alarm was excited among the in
mates, and various were the devices used to
rescue th# child from the guardianship of
his newly-found protector. All were una
vailing ; his would-be rescuers had lost cour
age, and Were in despair of ever seeing the
child alive again, when the monkey quietly
retraced his steps and deposited its burden
on the beck On a subsequent occasion the
waters had well nigh quenched his ambition.
He fell into a deep pond, from drowning in
which a clergyman named Johnson was the
sole instrjpnent of his rescue. At the siege
of Leicester a young soldier about 17 years
of age was’drawn out for sentry duty. One
of his comfades was very anxious to take his
place. N%, objection was made, and this
man He was shot while on duty.
The young: man first drawn afterward
became tlj© author of the “Pilgrim’s
Progress.”! Doddridge, when born, was so
weakly an |nfant it was believed to be dead.
A nurse sfltndingby fancied she saw some
signs of vitality. Thus the feeble spark of
life was saved, from being extinguished, and
an eminent author'and consistent Christian
preserved to the world. John Wesley, when
a child, was only just preserved from fire.
Almost moment after he was rescued,
the roof of--the house where he had been,
fell in. Os Philip Henry a similar instance
is recorded. John Ivuox, the renowned
Scotch reformer, was always wont to sit at
the head ofth§ table, with his back to the
window. On one particular evening, with
out, however, being able to account for it,
he would neither himself sit in the chair nor
permit anyone else to occupy his place.
That very night a bullet was shot in at the
window, purposely to kill him: it grazed the
chair in which he sat, and made a hole in
the fcotof a candlestick on the tabl.o Many
years have now elapsed since three subal
terns might have been seen struggling in
the water off St. Helena; one of them, pe
culiarly helpless, was fast succumbing. He
was saved, toslive as Arthur Wellesely, Duke
of Wellington. The life of John Newton is
but the history of a series of marvelous de
liverances. Asa youth he had agreed to ac
company some friends on board a man-of-war.
He arrived too late to go; the boat in which
his friends hkdgone was capsized and all its
occupants drowned. On another occasion,
when tide surveyor of the port of Liverpool,
some businofH bad detained him, so that he
came to hisjpoat much,,later than usual, to
the great surprise of those who were in the
habit of observing his then undeviating punc-
He went out in the boat as hereto-
inspept a ship, which blew up before
he reached her. Had he left a few minutes
sooner he must have perished with the rest
on board.

Mbs. GAsklll’s Death— The death
of this distinguished authoress was even
more sudden than the account in the jour
nals led the public to suppose She was at
tea with her daughter, Mrs. Crompton, wife
ot the son of the judge. Strange to state,
they were talking of the subject of death,
when, after some remark by one of the com

her hand and raising it halt way to her lips,
observed, “ Well, I /’ when she tell

Unhappy Mauriages among Men of Genius.--
The rare occurrence of genius with domestic
comfort is perfectly awful. Take Dante, the
exile,' who left his wife, never wishing to see her
more ; take Tasso, wifeless ; Petrarch, wifeless;
Ariosto, wifeless; Milton, thrice married, but on
ly ofcce with much comfort; Dryden, wedded,
like Addison, to a title and discord ; Young lived
alone till past fifty; Swift’s marriage is no mar
riage ; Sterne's, Churchill’s, Byrou s, Coleridge s
marriage, broken and unhappy. Then we have
a set of celibates —Herrick, Cowley, Pope,
Thomson, Prior, Gay* Shenstcne, Gray, Aken
side, Goldsmith, Collins, Cowper, and I know
not how many more of our best poets. Johnson
had a wife', loved, and lost her. It is almost
enough to make women tremble at the idea of
allying themselves with genius, or giving birth
to it.!
Take the philosophers —Bacon, like his fa
mous legal adversary, Coke, seems to have en*
jupyed little domestic comfort, and speaks,'- for,
as he says, certain grave reasons,” disapprov
ingly of his partner. Our metaphysicians
TTobbes, Locke, Bentham, Butler—are as soli
tary as Spinosa and Kant, The celibate phi
losopher Hume conducts us to the othpr great
bachelor historians, Gibbon and Macaiilay, as
Bishop Butler does to some of the princes ot
English divinity—Hooker cajoled into marrying
a shrew, Chijliiag worth unmarried, Hammond
unmarried, Leighton unmarried, Barrow also
single. I only take foremost men, the list might
be swelled with monarchs and Generals in mar
riage.
The Phenomena of Lightning. —A very cu
rious paper has just been addressed to the Acad
emy of Sciences, by a physician who, for a long
period, has occupied himself with observing the
phenomena of lightning. It is no. usually
known that a great many persons are annually
killed by the electric fluid in Fiance. From
1835 to 1863, a period of twenty-nine years,
$,333 persons were killed—the largest number
in one year being one hundred and eleven per
sons ; the smallest, forty-eight. Besides those
killed there were 6, injured It is remarked
that a much larger proportion of men are killed
than women, owing to the material jf which
female dress is composed. Os 880 victims, from
1854 to 1863, only 233 were women. Dr. Ban
don mentions several very singular cases. He
had met with two persons, each of whom had
been struck twice, and one man had three times
been rendered insensible by lightning—each
time in a different dwelling. One-fourth of
those killed had taken refuge under trees The
mountainous regions of the South and east of
France are those most subject to accidents from
l’ghtning—a very small proportion occurring in
the north and central portions, where the land
is more level.

The Children’s Prayer.
‘■Ofisu h is the Kingdom of Heaven.’’
Three white clad forms beside the bed, *
Wito little hands upheld,
When all their toys are laid away,
And the noise of day is quelled;
And mother hears them each repeat,
With voices earnest, low and sweet,
The simple prayer
She teaches there:
“Gentle Jesus, meek and mild,
Look upon a little child.”
Fond kisses and “good nights” from all,
As rosy cheeks are laid
On snowy pillows, then calm sleep
Till dreamy nights shall fade.
Good angels bend aboVe each faco
That silent lies in smiling gractj!
Though toil and care
Our 1 ves must shard:
“ Gentle Jesus, meek anc| mild,
Look upon a little child.” -
O, loved and sinless little ones,
When years hsve led you on,
And she who lingers e’er you now
To her reward has gore;
When the toys of life rre laid away,
And evening comes, still may you pray,
With faithful hearts,
As life departs,
“ Gentle Jesus, meek and mild,
Look upon a little child!”

Church Etiquette —lt is fashiionable
with many to come late to church, long after
the services have begun ; to the edification of
the curious in the congregation, and the com
fort of the nerves of the pulpit. It has
lately been decided on high authority, that
the following rules are to he observed on all
such occasions. Let the lady advance one pace
beyond the door ofthe pew she wishes to en
ter, halt, about fapg, and salute. The pew
must then he vacated by such gentlemen astare
in it, by flank movement. The squad should
rise simultaneously, wh#«&he£|a<lypr esents
herself, and face Iby the right flank, then
deploy jnfcj the aisle, the head man facing the
lady, and the rest walking to his right and
rear, the direction of the line being ohanged
by a right countermarch, and forming again
into line, up and down the aisle, still faced
by the right flank. The lady, when she
sees the coast isjtfeax, cmnpleteajier salute
and advances to her position in the pew.
The gentlemen break off by files from the
rear, and resume their places. Great care
should be taken, of course by other parties,
not to enter the aisle when this evolution is
in progress until it is completed.
