THE ABABIAH STEED
Adah was the daughter of a powerful
rajah, who, in the reign of the Emperor
Akbar, dwelt in a superd palace on the
banks of the Jumna.
The rajah was proud, of his beautiful
ehilijl and loved her, as far as his stern na
ture was susceptible of such a passion.—
.But[the duties of his situation and his
warlike pursuits called him frequently
' irom her ; and much of the dark eyed Hin
du's time wtis spent in -dreary solitude
amid the gardens ot her father's palace.
beautiful as those gardens were, and
sparkling with 'gilded -pavilions, the air
cooled with silver fountains, and rendered
fragrant by every plant, still this perpetual
solitude'wearied her, the society of her fe
male attendants failed to interest her, and
as she reclined betjeath the pendant branches
of a date tree, she sighed and felt more
-like.a prisoner in a cage, than a princess
in the pleasure garden of her father’s pal
ace.
She had dismissed her attendants, and
lay thoughtfully leaning her head upon
hand, when the rustling amid t(ie branches |
of an orange tree attracted her attention,; j
and she started to her feet in an instant "i
with an exclamation of alarm and surprise, i
as she distinctly saw among the clustering
leaves and blossoms, the bright eyes and
dark glowing features of a man.
r '1 he branches hastily pa - ted, and a young
Mnhumedan. rushing fbrward. knelthefore
her. ' v, ‘
“Who art thou?” she exclaimed.—
“ Mercy, mercy,ll am defenseless—spare
me!” ' J
“Mercy,” replied the Moor; “’tis I
must crave mercy of you; lam defenceless,
fair* lady. lam at your feet, and in your
power.”
“ What brought you Jiere ?” she replied.
“ Knt.w you not the danger?”
A danger I have braved too often to
beet! it for an instant now.”
“ Often!. What mean you C
“ Daily at this hour,; the hour of your
solitary ramblcf have I entered these gar*
dens—-daily Itave I lurked, behind the
shrubs th|U surround your ; favorite bower
: —daily have I gazed on you unseen.”
ALTOONA, PA, WEDNESDAY, A.UGTST 18, 1803
“For whnt purp'S'?”
“My pui [K),-i-! madness—
“ Death ? to me who never wn nged you
-who never injured a human Iking?"
“To you, lady—no, no—not to you : I
vould not harm you for the world '
“Death to whom, then
“’t o myself,”
“ Why — what brought you here '{”
“Accident, or |x»l Imps idle curiosity first
brought me here; and I locked on you for
tie first time : need 1 say why, daily, alter
I had once beheld you. I came again ”
“Oh, ifyou are seen,” cried. Ada,
ing can save you from my father's rage
ou know the barrier- the awful impasri
ite barrier—that divides your race from
nine. Madman begone!
* The young Moor, whose face and form
vere such as might have been chosen by a
culpti r who wished to represent the |s>r
cclion of eastern beauty, spoke not. moved
lot; i e continued kneeling before the agi
ated girl, while his dark, brilliant eyes
ixed upon her countenance, seemed ca
■:erly to read its varying expression, that
uemory might have a store of sweet
houghts to live upon, when the reality
hould no longe'r stand before him.
Ada could not bear the earnest gaze of
hose fond eyes; where was her anger, her
ndigunlion at the intrusion of tlie stran
:er? Gone ! Mie called not for her at
cijdants no. she trembled lest thev should
ome.
“ 1 await my doom,” at length muttered
.he intruder. "‘I scorn to fly.; iny dream
•f secret love is over; my stolen watch
ings, so dear, though so hopeless, are at an
ml; yon will call your father’s guards.
Hid I shall die.”
‘‘No, no—you shall not die — not if
Vda can save you; 1 will nut call them ;
to I dread their coming.”
j hen you forgive my boldness?”
•‘Yes —only begone— save yourself.”
“ Slu\!l we meet again ?
‘‘Never!” \
“ I hen I will stay and die; better to die
iere. at your command, in your presence,
ban to go thence and linger out a life of
lopclcss love, never lieholding you .".gain."
Poor Ada had never, been before ad-
Ircssed in love's ow nda huge. Her hand
• iad been sought by princes and nobles,
who secure in her father’s sanction, had
addressed her in terms of admiration, fail
whose looks and accents were cold an 1
piritless when compared with the ardor
jf the youthful lovei who knelt hetor her.
‘•For tnv sake, if not for your own. go,’’
she cried.
“ i hen we may meet again ?”)
“ Yes, only leave me now, you know not
halftone peril 'io-morrow is the annual
.estival in honor of Vis'nu: 1 shall be
I here and will contrive to speak to you—
hark!”
Hie pointed to the orange trees. A
footstep was heard in the distance. The
Moor grasped her hand, pressed it to his
lips, and was lost among the orange blos
soms just as the chief officer of the rajah
entered the bower to inform Ada that Iter
father desired her presence. She cast one
anxious glance around her, breathed'more
freely when she found her lover lay unsus
pected in Ids fragrant ambush, and fol
lowed by her attendant returned to the
palace. There was no festival in Hindus
tan so splendid as that celebrated annually
in honor of Vishnu in the province over
which the rajah governed, ihe gardens on
the banks of the Jumma were splendidly
decorated for the occasion, and ijt noon
were filled' by crowds of persons, all eager
to see or be seen ; to pay due reverence to
Vishnu, or to be didy reverenced.
Kettle drums sounded, golden armor
glistened, domny feathers waved in costly
turbans: cavaliers bearing silver battle
attes rode proudly on their prancing milk
white steeds, and princely ladies were
borne in glittering palankeens on the backs
of elephants.
Aila was there, pale and sad : her stolen
mysterious interview with her unknown
lover, was so recent, so qnexpet te 1, so un
likely to end happily, that she lay on her
rose-colored cushions, fanned by her favor
ite slave, without taking trouble to draw
aside the amber curtains of her litter to
look upon the festivities wi.ieh surrounded
her.
Towards evening the gardens were illu
minated with thousands of many colored
lamps; she raised herself and looked around
her, but glancing has'ily over bright vistas
and radiant bowers, her eyes rested on a
wide-spreading tree beneath whose'over
shadowing brandies a comparatively dark
space remained. She there saw the form
of her unknown lover; he was leaning
against the tree, with his eyes ..fixed upon
her; she told her slave with assumed lev
ity 1 that she had vowed to gather a cluster
of the blossoms of that tree, afone to gather
thein, and desiring her to await her re-
she hastened lieneath the canopy
formed by Its boughs.
>elim was indeed there.
'‘Speak not," she earnestly whispered.
‘•I must not stay for an instant—J dare
nut listen to you—but mark my words,
and if you Jove me obey them. 1 don't
d i.iht your love.-I do not doubt your con
stancy, but 1 shall apfiear to doubt both
when you beat*, my request.
fIXOF.J’KVDKXT IV EVERTTHIXrt.]
”•' peak. lady, I will obey you,” said
the Moor.
—fi.'fitr.:
| “ Go,” whispered Aila, “ buy the swifl
, est ot Arabian steeds, rile hint across yon
| plain three limesin every day - in thcmurn
' i at noon, and in the evenin'!; and every
lime you ri lo hi.n. swim the Jutnma on
i Ids back.”
‘‘ Is that all,” said Selim : “it shall ba
' done
| “It is all,” replied Ada; “to prove
! your love you will I know readily do it,
but to prove your constancy, or rather to
ensure our safety , it must b, 1 done three
times every day, for the space of a year.”
“A year!”
“ Yes. and at the expiration of the year,
at this festival, on this very day. il neither
courage nor constancy have been wanting,
! meet me again on this spot. I can wait
I tor no reply—bless vou, bless you.”
"IlOtll-
Ada, with a few leaves of the tree in
j her tcrnibling hand, hastened back to her
palankeen, and Selim again, alone, gazed
1 from his shadowy hi ling place on the gav
festival, in which his eyes liehehl one form
alone. I low brief seems the retrospdl ol
one year of happiness! How sad. how in
terminable. seems the same space of time,
in anticipation, when we know that at its
close some long looked for bliss will lie ob
tained- some cherished hope realized.
f’elim bought a steed, the whitest and
the swiftest of the prnince. ana he Boon
loved it dearly, for it seemed to be a living
link connecting him with Ada.
He daily three limes traversed the val
ley anil thrice he forded the deep an 1 foam
ing river; he saw not his love he received
not a token from her, but if his eyes dil
not deceive him, he occasionally saw a fe
male form on. the summit of her father's
lower, and a snow white scarf was some
times waved as lie speeded rapidly through
the valley.
lo Ada the year passed slowly, anx
iously : often did “he repent ot her injunc
tion to flic Moor, when the sky was dark
and stormy and when the loi rents froijjji
the mountains had rendered the dummi
impetuous and dangerous. i hen on her
knees on the rajah’s tower, die would
w atch for he loycr, dreading at one momci.r
lest tear should make him abandon both
her an 1 the enterprise, and then | raying
that he might in Iced forsake both, rather
t ban'encounter the terrors ot that foam
ing flood ! Soon she saw him speeding
Ironi the dark fore.-t. he ponged fearlessh
into the river: he buffeted with the wavf-s’
he gained the opposite “Imre, and again
she saw him brave the difficulty, again he
conquered it, an 1 again it was to be en

arrived, the gardens were adorned with
garlands; once more, too, Se im stood l>e
neath the shadows of the wale spreading
tree.
He saw crowds assemble, but he heeded
them not ; be bean! the. crash of the cym
bals and the measured beat of tire ketth
drums. r lhe rajah passed near hijn, with
bis officers and armed attendants, and
these were followed by a troop of damsels,
then came Ada the rajah's daughter. She
was no longer the trembling, bashful girl
he bad seen at the last festival. Proudly
and selt-possessed she walked the queen of
the procession, her form glittering with a
kingdom’s wealth of diamonds. Selim’s
heart sunk within him.
“Hie is changed—she will think no
more of me!" he involuntarily .exclaimed
Hut at that moment her dark eye glanced
toward his hiding p'a ;e.
She spoke to her alien hints, and the
procession paused as she approached the
tree alone, and affected to gather some of
its leaves.
“ Are you faithful ?” said she in a low
tpne; “nay, I wrong you by the question
I have seen that you are so; if you have
courage, as you have constancy, you are
mine, and 1 am yours—hush—where is
your steed ?”
Selim held its bridle rein.
“Then in your hauls 1 place my happi
ness,” she added ; “ these gems shall be
our wealth, and your truth my trust —
away? away?”
Selim in. an instant bore Ada to the
back of his Arabian, and ere the rajah and
his atten lants were aware she had quitted
the cavalcade, swift as the wind he bore
her from the gardens.
'Hie pursuit was in-tantanaous, and ut
tering curses and indignant reprowhes,
the rajah and a hundred of his armed fol

Army Coffke.—A correspondent of the
New York Post, who, accompanied tM
Army of the PotuBML on its inarch from
Gettysburg, writes?
The quality of the cooking may be in
ferred from the remark of a soldier, to
whom I said that it melted good,” Yes”
he replied, “ a blamed right better than
it fasten.” \

The captain saw somethings was wrong,

Pmntijig Withoi t Ink.—A gentleman,
a large capitalist, and one of the most suc

in chemically treating the pulp, during the
process of manufacturing priming paper
in such manner that, when the paper is
impressed upon the uninked types, the
chemical particles are crushed and a per*
feet black impression is the result, the
advantage sought to he obtained is the dis*
carding of ink and rollers, and by revolu*
(ionizing printing machinery and printing
from a continuous roll of paper, it is cal
culated that the time occupied in impress
ing larg quantities of paper will be nom
inal in comparison to the requirements of
