PERSIAN MORALS."--I heard of a king's son, who
was low in stature and ill-favoured, whilst all brothers
Om tall and handsome. Once on a time, his fitther •
looked at him with disgust, which the son bed saga-
city enough to discover, and said, " 0 &titer I a short
man who is wise, is preferable to him who is tall and
ignorant. Not every thing is valued according to its
height ; the sheep is clean, and the elephant an un-
clean animal. Sinai is one of the most Inconsiderable
mountains of the earth, but verily it is the greatest be-
' fore God in rank and dignity. Have you heard what
was said one day by a wise lean man to a fat block-
head ? One Arab horse, though lean, is preferable
to a stable full of fat asses.' " The father laughed, the
courtiers applauded, and the brothers were mortified
to the very soul. Until a man bath spoken, his de-
,
feets and his skill are concealed. imagine not every
desert to be empty, for perhaps a tiger may be asleep
there.—Front the Persian of Surly.
