Some sprite, whose very soul is made Of flowerets' breaths and lovers' sighs. And who might tell—" how that love is to be restored ; and so "' For me, for me,' Cried Nourmahal, impatiently, ' Oh ! twine that wreath for me to-night.'" The enchantress does her bidding, and the result is that the royal lover's affections are again fixed upon the Sultana Nourmahal, the Light of the Harem. If the enchanter's art always restored happiness to mortals, we might regret the loss of the race, which is now seemingly represented by professors of spirit-rapping. Since, however, the supposed power of the enchanter was used to stir up the author of all mischief, for some evil purpose, we cannot be sorry that the darkest days of superstition are ended.
