PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT.

curious anecdote is related by Sir John NAL
coim, of the Persian King Baharam, and his
wife.
The ruling passion of Baharam was the
chase I; and, proud Of his excellence as an
archer, he wished 10 exhibit his skill be-
fore his most favorite wife. She accord
ingly accompanied him to the plain and
an antelope was deserted al distance ly
ing asleep. The monarch drew his bow
with such precision, that its arrow grazed
the animals ear. The antelope awoke,
and put his hind hoof to the spot, to strike
off the f1y by which he appeared to con-
ceive he was annoyed. The monarch
| shot again, and pinned the hoof to the
horn. The exulting Baharam turned to
the lady, with look, that demanded her
opinion oil his skill but she coolly ob.
served-'Practioe makes perfect SO IN

such warm praises, stung him to the soul
with disappointment and jealousy and

was 10 obey this cruel command, took
her hence; but mercifully sparing her
life, allowed her TO retire under deep
disguise to an obscure village on the
mountain side. She took up her lodgings
in the upper chamber of a tower, to which
she assembled by twenty steps. On her
arrival she brought young calf, which
She regularly carried once up and down

continued for four years; and the inn
