"I am more contented than at first," was

fore my eyes, but they would not let ms stay

"Moat surely I will bear with thee, fairest

o-Leb me have: a week to myself," pursued
ippirrha, gaining courage, but yet with tears
alter eyes. "Let rise have time to heal over
tee wounds that yet bleed in my soul."
"Take it, take it," cried Selina; "but you
etIffeldi allow the to oome here and sit with you. I
Ycht must allow me to bask sometimes in the
limit of your aweet smiles, for I kaow you
Gin smile." 1
For an instant a gleam of hope that
si rugglei in the bosom of the maiden
made her feel happy and she did look and
simile. It was only a. passing movement, but
Selim caught it, and 1.11 a transport he ex-
claimed:
"Oh, b5' the beardof the prophet, you shall;
be most happy here! Of all the wives I have
had, Fatima is the only one left me. In a
week you shall take the place of those that
are gone; and you are well qualified to fill
their places. I don't think I shall want
another." .
A cold shudder crept through Myrrha's
frame as her master thus alluded to his lost
wives, but not a motion betrayed the know-
ledge she held. Her point for the present
was gained, and she felt an ease that was
manifest in her manner.
For more than an hour Selim remained in
his harem and conversed with the beautiful
maiden; and by his every word and look he
showed that he was perfectly enraptured.
.And yet through his very words of endear-
ment and love, Myrrha could sea that spirit
which. would surely be fatal to one that ex-
cited it in enmity--itwas so deep, so passion-
ate, so jealous, and so reckless. Selim kissed
her upon her fair brow as he arose to take his
departure, and even then she did,not shrink.
nor betray her loathing; but -when he was
fairly gone, she sank back upon the couch
and burst into tears. When she was aroused,
it was by the presence of Fittima, who had
come and sat down again by her side.
"He loves yon—oh, how madly!" uttered
the wife, in a strange tone, as Myrrha arose
to a sitting posture: "I heard him—I heard
his every word. I did not think he loved you
so well. He willforget me. He will forget
his Fatima now."
She spoke in a most sad tone, and great
teatsstood in her eyes.
Myrrha was no longer blind. She saw now
that Fatima could not divide the love of
Selim. .
"Ala, Fatima," she said, "your heart is like
nay own—you cannot see the object of its love
turn toward another."
"You mistake me, Myrrha. I care not
how much, Selina may toy with those who
please him, so long as I have the freshest
place in his heart. But you are more beauti-
ful than I am, and Selina will love you best -
1 know he will. Oh, I heard him talk to you,
and I marked his every look."
And as Fatima thus spoke, she began to
weep Myrrha threw her arms about her
neck and triedto quiet her.
"I will not take his love from you," she
said -
"You cannot help it," sobbed the wife.
"I can help it!"
"Can help it! How?" cried Fatima, start-
iag back and gazing full into her companion's
face.
"By escaping from here."
"Alas, that cannot be."
"But would you not help me?"
"Howl" I will.
"If you will obtain for me one drug,
make the attempt."
"No, no, you must not harm him," said
Fatima, in alarm.
"I will not harm him. Get me the drug
and by my hopes of i=mmortal life I will no •
harm him."
"Then how will you use it?"
"I have a charm to work by th..
aid of that drug. Get it, and no on

Fatima trembled like an aspen. There w
something in Myrrha's vehement mann
that inspired her with awe, and she had J.
superstition enough to think that the maid
Tright work some strange charm.
"I tru.;t I can get it," she said, at the e
of au anxious pause. "I think I could. get

"And why should that trouble you3

Mountain -top Observatories. .
-Of late the importance of getting high up
in the air in order to study souse phases of
the weather has been;specially recognized,
and the number of mountain observatories
constructed for that purpose is feat increas-
ing.
nereas-
in There aro four such observatories in
France, one being on the celebrated Pio du
Midi.. There is a meteorological observatory
on Ben Nevis in Scotland, from which full
and regular reports are issued, and a very
• important one on the mountain called the
Sonnblick in Austria. -
In this country we have such an observa-
tory on Pike's Peak, at an elevation of more
than fourteen thousand feet, and another on
Mount Washington, sixty-three hundred feet
high. The latter has beer closed during tiee
winter for several years, bub there is now a
good prospect that it will soon be in opera-
tien_once more the year round.
The loftiest of all ebservatories will be one
that is to be constructed on Mont Blanc.

he great importance of these lofty
weather stations arises from the fact that in

so much subjected to the local influences o
the surface with which it is in contact, the

enormous fal:s of snow, and to endure i

Electricity has partially solved the pro
